CLAIMS VICTORY FOR HOOVER IN CALUMET AREA Gary Attorney Says Lake County Has Deserted Senator Watson. Lake County will renounce Senator James E. Watson with a four to one victory for Herbert C. Hoover, J. Glenn Harris, Gary attorney and State Representative, informed Hoover State headquarters today in citing the swing in Lake County to Hoover's candidacy as typical of a State-wide revolt against machine domination. Virtual certainty of Lake County's desertion of atson was regarded as particularly significant, for it was Lake County which gave Watson 20,588 votes in 1926 to defeat Albert Stump, Democratic nominee, for the senatorship. Watson needed the help, for final returns showed him a scant victory in the State, 522,837 to 511,454. Harris did not mince words in branding as an '‘outright lie" the statement attributed to him Saturday by an Indianapolis newspaper Indorsing Watson’s candidacy, in which the reporter quoted him as spying that Watson would carry Lake County. "I never even saw the reporter. The statement attributed to me is preposterous. Hoover will score a sweeping victory in Lake County,” Harris said. Foellinger Voices Pea “Indiana must gove ‘over the top' Tuesday in the battle for decency in government,” declared Oscar G. Follinger, Indiana manager for Hoover, in calling upon voters of the State to defeat, the “insincere scheme of a so-called favorite son, Whose chances are only the fiction of an ambitious political machine.” The statement featured an exchange of “zero hour" pronouncements from the two rival camps in the battle for Indiana's presidential preference vote. From, Senator James E. Watsons headquarters came this prediction from his manager, M. Bert Thurman: “Senator Watson will carry the State beyond any shadow of doubt: he will carry every district in Indiana and four-fifths of the delegates to the State convention will be his friends and supporters." Foresees Hoover Fcellinger has prophesied Hoover Will carry the State by 75,000 to 100,000 votes, on the basis of a total Republican vote of 400.000, and will Twmiu. ‘dciihr Comment Prince Carol of Roumania is in Godstone, England, anxiously awaiting word of the results of a meeting of 200.000 peasants who are protesting against the present Roumanian Government.

Cox, Democratic presidential candidate in 1920, and Woodrow Wilson's closest friend says: “I am for Ludlow.

Tours by Bus for Hoover

Chance for Voters “The ‘zero hour' in the political history of Indiana has arrived," said the statement from Hoover’s manager. “The people of this Stale tomorrow have opportunity to go to the polls and tell the world whether they approve of things that have happened in the last four years in Indiana or whether they disapprove of not only the disgraceful occurrences but also the men who caused them. “The slate must be wiped clean, the dirty linen must be laundered. “On one side we have the forces of Senator Watson, who not only has declined to suggest a clean-up, but even has denied tacitly there is need for one. “The men behind Hoover's candidacy have not only repeatedly cited the necessiay of a clean-up similar to the one in Illinois, but have suggested the manner of that clean-up, namely, by the following of the leadership which Hoover Offers. Up to Indiana “Hoover will be the nominee of the national Republican convention. That practically is assured. “Will Indiana be on record as having voted right, or will it continue to be known as a discredited State by giving its votes to a socalled favorite son, whose chances are only the fiction of an ambitious political machine? “The people of Indiana should vote tomorrow' for clean government and for the man who personifies such government—Herbert Hoover."

C. OF C. URGES NEW BUSINESS POLICY IN 11. S. Drastic Changes Needed to Meet Conditions, Says Announcement. BY HERBERT LITTLE United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. May 7.—A “new economic policy" for American business, based on the great mass production of the nation since the World War, was heralded today by the United States Chamber of Commerce, meeting here in sessions preparatory to formal opening of its sixteenth annual convention tomorrow. The chamber, in an announcement, set forth for consideiation more than a dozen industrial problems, “entirely new,” and resulting from the unforeseen developments of economic forces let loose .by the increase, of industrial productivity. The general problem, it Was said, was “how this increasing national effeciency can be directed to the advancement of national prosperity and the elevation of the American standard of living," instead of the gloomy future of a machine age, with serfs dragging through monotonous tasks, foreseen by some prophets. Some of the new questions were stated as follows: "The social and moral responsibility of business in the new economic order. “The economic effepts of legislation. ' "The effects of destructive largescale competition. “The changing character oi trade regulation by Government. “The widening horizon of commercial organization activity. “The growing importance of International trade relations. “Cooperation in power production and transportation.”

OFFER PLAN FOR BANKSTO SAVE RURAL MONEY Purchasing departments of the Indiana Farm Bureau Federation today called attention to an opportunity for bankers to save their farmer clients 21 per cent in the purchase of fertilizers through the bureau. They have directed the attention of the argriculture committee of the Indiana Bankers Association to the matter. The saving can be effected by proper financing, the bureau points out. They point out tnat by combining purchases the farmers can obtain a 5 per cent cash discount and save 8 per cent by cooperative buying. Another 8 per cent will be realized by patronage refunds or margins of savings effected, they assert. “Agriculture, like all productive industry, cannot survive a credit penalty of 21 per cent on purchase of its raw materials,” the bureau bulletin states*

NAB PLANS TO ATTACH PLANES BENEATH BLIP Will Attempt to Fasten Craft to Los Angeles During Flight. im r a uni prttt* WASHINGTON May 7. Tire navy is planning a scries of experiments with the airship Los Angeles in which airplanes will attach themselves to the dirigible while in flight. Rear Admiral William A. Moffett, chief nf the bureau of aernautics, said today. Moffett said the tests would noi be made for several months but that preliminary plans are now being made. He said similar experiments have been conducted on a small scale in the past by German and United States army dirigibles. Tire airships will attach themselves to “hooks" suspended from the bottom of the Los Angeles, he said. In the new dirigibles to be constructed there will be facilities for six planes, he explained, but at present no United States dirigible has such equipment. The Los Angeles recently made a successful landing on the deck of the aircraft. Saratoga, and has been engaged in recent months in maneuvers to demonstrate her capabilities. till I nih il I’ri ... LAKEHURST. N. J.. May 7. When airplanes are able to make landings on dirigibles, lighter-than-air craft will prove a much bigger factor in aviation. Commander Charles D.

four airpianes.” the commander said. “This gear would enable airplanes to land on the dirigible and also to take eff from it. "We are going to experiment with service type airplanes. Our plan embraces a sort of trapeze-effect, slung under the dirigible, and carrying on collapsible stqel braces a large landing stage on which the

planes can slip in and out. “The stage would be lifted and lowered by men on the dirigible so that when the airship descended the stage could be so lifted that it would rest against the bottom of the dirigible’s envelope. “I believe the plan is feasible and that it will become practical. We are all very anxious to try it out.”
