FAINT SIGNALS SPUR HUNT FOR ITALIA BY AIR, WATER

BLIMP THOUGHT ~ MAROONED AT CAPEJMITH Citta Di Milano Reports Exchange of Signals With Nobile. PLANE TO TAKE FOOD Norwegian to Search South of Spitzbergen; Amundsen Doubts Reports. Bn United Piths KINGS BAY. Spitzbergen, June 9.— A relief expedition prepared today to rush into the territory north of Northeastland, after the steamer Citta Di Milano had received a radio message believed unmistakably to have come from the lost Polar dirigible Italia. The rescue vessel intercepted the message shortly before midnight Friday night. The message was an "SOS” and started with the word "Italia.” Immediately thereafter it gave ‘<the position of 80.30 degrees north and 28 degrees east which would ■ be at about Foynoya Islands, ten nautical miles from land. Believed Near Spitzbergen This position is just off the northern coast of Northeastland, the island lying to the east of Spitzbergen. . The Italia, piloted by Gen Umberto Nobile, probably would have followed a course leading across Northeastland on her return flight form the North Pole. No sooner had the message been received than Captain Riiser-Lar-sen, in charge of relief work for the Norwegian government, announced he would start immediately on a flight over the territory designated an the intercepted message. Captain Riiser-Larsen will carry a food supply with him and tfilL'go directly to position 80.30-28, where he has hopes of seeing the stranded craft and the sixteen men that , composed the crew on the North Pole trip. Will Carry Food Supply He will drop food overboard to the men, should they be sighted, as their food probably by now is near exhavstion. They carried a reserve sujJply capable of sustaining them for a month. The Norwegian explorer said that in event he was unable to land on the ice-bound stretch around the point designated, it was probable that dog-sled teams would be sent out in event he definitely located the dirigible. Fail to Hear Italia BY LARS HANSEN B’l United Press Alternate Navigator of the Italia ABOARD THE S. S. HOBBY June 9.—Thus far we have intercepted no new radio messages that might have originated with the dirigible Italia and .our vessel is drifting southward along the Hinlopen Straits, separating Spitzbergen and Northeastland. Ice has stopped our advance Just as it stopped the advance of the S. S. Braganza, the relief boat chartered by the Italian government. Both boats are caught in the jam. We are near Verlegen hook. Amundsen Doubts Signals B;i United Press OSLO, Norway, June 9.—Roalc’ Amundsen, polar explorer, today said he doubted the genuineness of signals that many believed were from the lost dirigible Italia. “Overzealousness or radio amateurs, probably is resulting in the many signals,” the explorer who flew over the ndrth pole a year ago, told the United Press.

City Honor Is Paid Times; Tribute Given by Howard

Those cities having the keenest, cleanest newspaper competition are the best advertised cities in the country, Roy W. Howard, chairman of the board of the Scnpps-Howard newspapers, said at the Chamber of Commerce open forum luncheon Friday, when business and civic leaders paid tribute to The Indianapolis Times for winning the Pulitzer prize for 1928. Howard and Boyd Gurley, Times editor, were honor guests. Dick Miller, Chamber president, presided and introduced Meredith Nicholson, author and city councilman, as permanent chairman. In introducing Howard, Nicholson humorously referred to Indianapolis newspaper conditions and incidents of years ago and spoke of Howard's start as a reporter here. Howard paid high tribute to Gurley as one of the “outstanding editors of the Scripps-Howard organization.” Gurley was introduced and spoke briefly. • Howard said in part: “In expressing great pleasure in the honor today extended Boyd Gurley and the staff of The Indianapolis Times, I want also to voice some apprebiation of the progressive spirit of the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce, as evidenced at this luncheon. “Your action seems to me In keeping with the spirit of the times and to evidence an appreciation of the fact that when functioning properly your objectives and those of a truly progressive newspaper should be identical. “This luncheon seems to me to signalize the passing of the day when a Chamber of Commerce was regarded as a cathedral of reactionaryism and the editor of a newspaper was supposed to be loafing on his job unless he functioned as the leader of a perpetual lynching bee “No healthy, normal minded newspaper likes to knock. Boosting is infinitely more pleasurable. The Lord knows that we of The Indianapolis Times are and have been healthy, or this party would not be under way. “But it isn’t always possible for a newspaper to boost continuously, any more than it is possible for an individual to exist as a constont disciple of Pollyanna in these aggressive, highly competitive days.

Fight Long and Hard

“It is very pleasant to sit here and contemplate the deed accomplished and the fight won, but there have been times in the last few years when that fight was not so agreeabie. It was a fight that took courage as well as brains. “I know, because four years ago I took a hand in it myself. I merely contributed three editorials which ran for three successive days. In the next ten days the paper lost 18,000 circulation. “Shortly after this I displayed some of the brains referred to. I got Boyd Gurley on the job and he demonstrated that he had brains by getting back what I had lost and twice as much more. “But it wasn’t his ability to make circulation nor even his ability to win a good fight that chiefly has merited the esteem his colleagues have for Gurley. It was his ability to keep smiling, even when the fight was hottest that most excited our admiration. “It was his ability to retain his perspective and realize always that the evils which a few men do, loom larger than the virtues of a community. It was his ability, while delving in corruption and sordidness, to remember that the soul of the community Was clean and sound. “It was his ability to retain unflinching faith in the citizenship of the city and State, his ability to believe that any shortcomings were his own rather than those of the people—that he had not tola his story with sufficient clarity, rather than that they had not been able to understand it—am to avoid cynicism. a “Last of all, it was his ability to recognize at all times that the role of a newspaper is -never that of an avenger and that an editor’s function is to present facts and to leave to the duly constituted -authorities the administration of punishment.

Abiding Faith in Facts

“Boyd Gurley’s strength as an editor lies in his abiding faith in facts as a great cure-all for political, economic and social evils. It is this quality that has made him one of the outstanding editors of the Scripps-Howard organization. “He is no destructionist, but he recognizes and is*in harmony with the policies of this organization, which recognizes that blasting sometimes must precede building. “I would like to explain a bit as

to the extent to which local autonomy is practiced in the ScrippsHoward organization. Boyd Gurley is the editor and the director of the editorial policies, insofar as they affect Indianapolis and the State, as completely' as though he were the owner of 100 per cent of the stock. “In this his position is identical with that of all Scripps-Howard editors. It is the practice of the concern to vest a considerable block of stock in both the editor and the business manager of a paper and the policy to finance these men in the stock purchase. As working journalists are not notoriously plutocratic, these stockholdings usually represent 100 per cent of the wealth of the men running the ScrippsHoward newspapers. “The net result is a state of mind on the part of the local management and an interest in the progress and development of the community in no wise dissimilar to that of an editor owning his property outright.

No Apologies for ‘Chain’

“In matters of national and international interest, each ScuppsHoward editor has a voice shaping the policies which the majority of the editors determine shall be pursued by the group as a whole. •**‘lt is because of this sound basis on which the Scripps-Howard organization is built that we have no apologies to offer for chain operation, insofar as it affects our particular group. We have learned in fifty years of operation that unlike other chains which are only as strong as their weakest link, a newspaper chain is as strong as ito strongest link. "The strength of the bigger, the older and the wealthier papers makes possible support and financing of the weaker ones or those which may be in temporary difficulties. “This in turn makes for editorial independence impossible in a single newspaper. “It sometimes is overlooked that modem newspaper production has become a big business. It no longer is possible to succeed in this day and in this highly competitive profession without tremendous financial resources. The price of success otherwise is subservience. “Cham journalism brings to a community the advantages of mass production—the greatest single factor in the production of presentday American prosperity, a prosperity unequalled at any previous time by any nation in history. “Chain journalism, fortified and justified by the local autonomy with which the Scripps-Howard organization has endowed it, makes not for monopoly, but for healthy journalistic competition. “It is because we believe that this competition is a boon to a community, it is because we believe that the most progressive cities in the United States are those blessed with healthy newspaper competition, that the Scnpps-Howard organization came into the Indianapolis field. “We did not come here with tny mistaken idea that competition was weak or that success would be easy. We underestimated the strength of no competitor. “We came here because we realized that Indianapolis offers a field for success to two evening and one morning newspaper. We came here uninvited and cherishing no illusions that the world owes us a living. We have made no request for support based upon sentimental consideration.

City Owes Nothing

"Indianapolis owes its nothing. We owe Indianapolis the best in our power to deliver in the way of journalistic accomplishment. We were satisfied to come on that basis, have been satisfied to remain on that basis. “It has taken five years to put The Indianapolis Times over and achieve success. They have been five happy years—possibly with a few heartaches, by way of leaven—and I am sure you will pardon us ii we are just a little proud of oui success. “We are not yet at the end of our achievements. We believe. The Times destined to and should loom gill larger' in this particular - picture. “We believe! that .the measure of .our future suooess and the rapidity with ! which it! is; : Whleved will be the measure of the ability of you gentlemen to see eye to eye with us in our blief 1 that; the best intersts of this community call for the ..development and the continuance of a healthy Journalistic competition in this field. “The Indianapolis Times never has and never will be t. traducer of Indianapolis or Indiana. But it never has and never will back away from a fight that we conceive to be in the interest of the community. When the job is to be done, we will hope to have the courage to tackle it- It is a satisfaction to us to know that some of the leeches we have found on the body politic are safely enconsced in State’s prison. Others should be there—others may be there yet. “When the tide turned and when Hoosiers with the facts before them set about the inevitable housecleaning, it was a real pleasure to the Scrlpps-Howard organisation to broadcast the evidence of the national recognition of the fact, not only through the twenty-six Scrlpps-Howard newspapers, but through the advertising columns of some of the greatest newspapers in the nation. “This attitude and this state of mind on our part will not change. It is our hope that it will be our privilege to have a part in frequent demonstrations of the greauiess of the city and the State. "The Times has faith in Indiana. By your action here today you gentlemen have given proof of your “faith in The Times. We are both happy and grateful.”

SOLID SOUTH BACKS HOOVER, SHUNSJMITH Expected to Play' Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Hyde in Casting Vote in November. By C. J. LILLEY WASHINGTON, June 9.—The solid South is the Dr. Jekyel nd Mr. Hyde of this Presidential year. With the conventions at hand, the ten southern States are ready to help nominate Herbert Hoover at Kansas City and to do everything they can to throw obstacles in the way of Governor A1 Smith at Houston. After the conventions, the South will turn against the Republicans and climb back into the Democratic fold but whether it will deliver all its 114 electroal votes to its own party nominee no one can foretell with certainity. Solid South for Hoover The solid South consists of these ten States: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North and South Carolina, Virginia and Texas. These States have always voted the Democratic ticket. This year Hoover is certain of ninety-four of the South’s Republican delegates, the remaining fifty-four being uninstructed. Although Smith is considered byWashington politicians to be far more certain of •‘nomination than Hoover, he can claim with certainity only twenty while the remaining 208 are either uninstructed or pledged to the southern native son candidates. Refuse Smith Support The situation in the solid South is reflected in the six border States, Maryland, Missouri, Oklahoma, Tennessee, West Virginia and Kentucky. The six furnish 145 Republican delegates and 138 Democratic. Hoover can safely claim seventyseven, while Smith is absolutely certain of only sixteen. The solid South and the border States combined are giving Hoover 171 out of 293 convention votes while Smith is doubtful of any over thirty-six out of 366.

Star Plane By Science Service WASHINGTON, June 9. The Southern Cross, United States-to-Australia airplane, bears the name of one of the most famous of constellations, but one which most people know only by hearsay. The original Southern Cross, or Crucis, as the astronomer calls it, is near the south pole of the heavens. To a person in Australia, or the southern tip of South America, however, it would rise as high in the sky as the constellation of Pegasus does for us. At certain times of the year it can just be seen above the southern horizon from Florida, southernmost part of the United States. The constellation consists principally of four bright stars, arranged in sort of a diamond shape, or at the ends of the cross. There is no star at the intersection of the cross. The so-called “Northern Cross,” or the constellation of Cygnus, the Swan, now in the northeastern evening sky, is really a more perfect representation of a cross, though its stars are not as bright as its southern counterpart.

CHANG TROOPS BACK IN PEKIN, SHANSI RULES Northern Army Returns After Evacuating City; Fears Attack. BY DEMAREE C. BESS United Press Staff Correspondent PEKIN, June 9. (By Naval Radio Via Washington)—Complete order prevailed in Pekin today despite the presence of detachments of the opposing Nationalist and Northern armies within the city. The nationalists, part of the Shansi army, were encamped in the Temple of Heaven grounds on the west of the city while 2,200 troops of the Mukden army were on the north side of the city. Shansi Troops Arrive The Shansi troops marched into the city Friday, in orderly file. They wore uniforms of various make-up. Their arms were antiquated. Some carried potatomasher types of Grenades. As they moved in the Mukdenites, under command of General Paoyuling, prepared to evacuate the city. The Northern troops had remained within Pekin sine ethe departure of Chang Tso Lin to provide peace until the arrival of the Nationalist army. v There was a fitting farewell to the Northern forces. Elder "statesmen thanked the Northerners for protection. Then this small army marched out the north gate of the city. One Nationalist officer accompanied them as a measure to assure peace. Northerners Return The Northerners marched fourteen miles through a terrific heat to Tungchow, held conference there, and then marched back into Pekin. Apparently they were dissatisfied with assurances of safety given them and feared to march into the army of Gen. Feng Yu-Hsiang, the Christian Nationali stgeneral, who has his forces near Tungchow. The Northerners are in a poor position, as the city is surrounded on three sides by the great Nationalist forces. HALIBUT.
