REVEALS PLANS TO COOLIDOE AT SUMMER CAMP Drafts Campaign Issues on Plea for Continued Good Business. PRESIDENT TO SPEAK Offers to Take Stump for Nominee in Mid-West and Home State. BY PAUL R. MALLON United Press Staff Correspondent SUPERIOR, Wls., July 17.—Herbert Hoover has informed President Coolidge he intends to stress the Issues, of continued prosperity and Integrity in governmental management in his campaign for jhe White House. The Republican candidate indicated he would name these two as the dominant issues in the speech of acceptance of the nomination at Palo Alto, Cal., Aug. 11, the United Press was reliably informed today. These are practically the same Issues upon which Mr. Coolidge successfully sought election in 1924. Theylwere first suggested publicly at Chicago Sunday by Vice President Charles G. Dawes, who told Hoover he believed these issues were foremost. Mr. Coolidge is understood to have agreed the issues were well selected. Stump on Prosperity Issue The issue of prosperity will be Widely used by Hoover himself in his speeches during the campaign, while that of competent governmental management will be stressed by the other campaigners. That information coming privately and unofficially, but authoritatively from the conferences which Hoover and Mr. Coolidge have been holding at the President’s summer lodge, was the first news emanating from the candidate himself as to the issues he will name in his acceptance speech. Hoover steadfastly has declined to talk about politics, reiterating that he would say whatever he had to say in h.s speech. Hoover also discussed with the President the advisability of announcing immediately acceptance of his resignation as Secretary of Commercer Arrangements have been made for the President to make the announcement today. At the same time the President may announce Hoover’s successor. Consider Three for Post Those mentioned for the post are Walter Brown of Toledo, Hoover’s present assistant; Dr. Julius Klein, head of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, and William M. Butler, former chairman of the Republican national committee, and close friend of the President. Mr. Coolidge informed Hoover he would do everything he possibly could to help the ticket in November. The President indicated he would make two or three speeches, one before he left here, all urging the electorate to indorse the Republican party. The President is expected to make a speech in Massachusetts to his home State voters in the fall.

The usual avenues of information as to the catch were closed to newspaper men in touch with the White House, but announcement was made 'by secretary to the President that sixteen trout were caught and that each caught eight. Experienced fishermen here said such an equal division of patronage among fishes would occur but one time out of a hundred. Trout ‘Catch’ Equal Sanders at first said there were sixteen or seventeen caught and equally divided, but inasmuch as no half fish have been seen in either the Brule or the lake for'years, it finally was agreed the catch was eight eachHoover is a much more experienced fisherman than the President and is honorary president of the Isaac Walton League. [ It was announced Mr. Coolidge had accepted an invitation to speak July 29 at Cannon Falls, Minn., at the unveiling of a Civil War monument. ‘ENOUGH ROPE’ TO WIFE Leaves Dollar That Mate May Hang Herself.

. THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

AIRPORT TRACT IS INSPECTED BY CITY CHIEF Slack Looks Over Proposed Addition to Be Leased for Flying Field. Mayor L. Eli, bii.ck today inspected the proposed addition to the Indianapolis Airport, Mars Hill, with the view of co-operating with the Indianapolis Airport Corporation #n anew plan for a municipal airport. Slack has conferred with corporation representatives on the advisability of leasing' additional land to provide an adequate airport for the city. Unless the city or business men act quickly, it is feared Indianapolis will be without a public landing field in event the Indiana National Guard goes ahead with its reported plan to buy 192 acres which it now leases from the Indianapolis Airport Corporation. Discuss Leasing Plan It is understood the airport corporation directors will meet this week to discuss a plan for leasing 282 acres of land proposed as an addition to the airport. Under this plan the city would lease the ground for three or four years with option of buying it at a set price in three or four years when it is expected the city will be in a better financial situation. Options on the additional acreage have been obtained by a local real estate man representing the airport corporation and the National Guard. Slack said he favors the municipal airport idea, but is opposed to a partnership “with the State or any other organization.” Adjt. Gen. William H. Kershner and the Indiana National Guard Armory board visited the mayor last week, asking him to join the Guard in buying surrounding land for a landing field. Guard to Buy Field The mayor previously had surveyed part of the ground surrounding the airport at Mars Hill and planned viewing the remainder this morning. Slack recently said he favored a municipal airport southwest of the city in connection with a huge park along White River, which would be available over a chain of improved streets. The Indianapolis Airport Corporation raised $20,000 to move the 113th Observation Squadron from Kokomo, paying $13,000 for the moving and the remainder for improvements on the field. The plan was to operate the field as a city landing field with the National Guard in charge of operations. The guard sub-leased 192 acres from the organization of business men who raised the fund. Kershner indicated the guard will buy the present landing field whether the city enters into the plan or not. Capt. H. Weir Cook, U. S. Army instructor astigned to the 113th Observation Squadron, declared the Indianapolis Airport is an ideal landing field under all weather conditions. Cite Need for Airport Those interested in the development of commercial aviation have urged that immediate steps be taken to provide a municipal field to prevent commercial lines from using other airports. Assurance that Transcontinental Air Transport Corporation, of which Col. Charles A. Lindbergh is an officer, will make stops at Indianapolis has been given provided the city furnishes an airport suitable for heavy type planes. William Fortune, Chamoer of Commerce civic affairs chairman, and President Dick Miller, recently cited the need for an adequate municipal airport at a meeting with Slack and city officials.

Bu United Press WASHINGTON, July 17.—Hoover campaigners are after the women’s vote, and have left it to an efficient and charming woman to organize the campaign to capture the feminine ballots. In charge of this special campaign will be Mrs. Alvin T. Hert of Kentucky, wealthy, and socially prominent here and in her home State. As second vice chairman of the Republican national committee, she has called a meeting of eastern women Republican' leaders to meet here July 24 to commence the appeal for women’s ballots. The Republicans, in the face of the Smith drive for the east, are planning to counter with this feminine drive. Such a campaign before has never been attempted on a national scale. On the liquor issue which the Democrats ere emphasizing in the East, the Republicans insist they have a large majority of women, who will vote for the so-called dryer Republican candidate. In Hoover, also, the Republicans feel they have a candidate, who will appeal especially to women, because of his war, romantic international engineering, and relief work. Housewives still remember “Hooverizing” to insure adequate supplies of sugar and other foods for the soldiers.

U. S. MOTORIZED ARMY IN TESTS Machinery Replaces Horses for Maneuvers. WASHINGTON, July 17.—The creaking of harness was entirely replaced by the clanking of machinery in an eight-mile army cavalcade which started this morning on a march from Ft. Leonard Wood, 21d., to Upper Marlboro, Md., a distance of forty-two miles. A full war-time division so organized, would reach 160 miles. The Army Is trying to find out how far machinery may be substituted, not only for animals, but men, in future warfare. Experiments with the "mechanized Army” which assembled at Ft. Leonard Wood July 1, are attracting much attention not only from American military experts, but in Europe, it is said. There are 256 vehicles and 1,100 men in the march, the purpose of which is to determine how to move large mechanized forces rapidly and in co-ordination. How to approach an enemy without noise and in concealment, by the use of smoke screens and camouflage, will be studied during the next two weeks. Then, in August, the mechanized forces will "attack,” advancing in synchronized support of huge fleets of tanks, with actual artillery fire blasting “enemy” tanks out of the way. Engineers will construct heavy bridges for the advancing steel monsters under actual battle conditions.

NEW SCHOOL PLANS ARE BEING COMPLETED Specifications to Go to State Tax Board Next Week. Specifications for one new public school and three additions planned under the proposed $600,000 school bond issue, will be completed in time for presentation to the State Tax Board next week, Albert F. Walsman, school business director, said today. The tax board recently authorized borrowing of $20,000 from the Shortridge bond fund to finance the specifications. Approval by the tax board of the specifications would permit adver-. tising for construction bids.

WIDOW TELLS STORY IN MAIL FRAUDPROBE Lost $7.50 to Paint Firm Run by Rozelle, Says Woman. A widowed dressmaker with six sons, Mrs. Olive Innis, 53, of 745 S. Missouri St., added her protest today to those piled up against the “home work” scheme operated by United States Marshal Frank E. Rozelle of La Grange, Ind., now under investigation by Federal postal authorities. Seven dollars and a half, earned at long hours at the sewing machine, was the “widow’s mite” contributed to the Omaha Tapestry Paint Company, of which is , owner and manager. Only two of her boys were old enough for steady jobs, when Mrs. Innis glimpsed Rozelle’s advertisement in a magazine four years ago. The firm name, “Omaha Tapestry Paint Company,” caught her eye. Work Returned She answered the ad, she said. Promptly came literature from Rozelle’s company, describing its materials and representing that the finished pillow tops would be bought by the company. “We want work done to meet the growing demand of the trade,” said the literature, “which is extending very rapidly since we opened this art department.” “We have ladies working for our firm who have made enough to live comfortably,” it went on. x The literature listcj prices to be paid its workers upon return of completed work. She sent $6.50 and received four stamped pillow tops, ten bottles of watery paints, a box of thumb tacks and toothpicks and cotton. The work done, she sent the pillow tops back to Rozelle and awaited her check. Back came the pillow tops, postage collect, and upon each was pinned a printed “criticism” from the “director of art.” “Slovenliness” one was captioned. “Proper blending,” “proper shading,” “roses” were headings on others, which suggested “more care” in her work. Needed “Retouching” "Your work needs to be retouched,” they advised Mrs. Innis. she said. But the retouch was on her pocketbook. Her paints exhausted, she sent another $1 for anew suopiy. They came, and with them a dawning that “they’d got mp for all they were goin’ to get me.” Robert E. Hicks, publisher of the Speciality Salesman Magazine, brought Federal attention to Rozell’s operations. He has charged political considerations entered into the delay in bringing about the investigation. Rozelle’s appointment as marshal for the newly created United States District Court for Northern Indiana bore the indorsement of United States Senators James E. Watson and Arthur R. Robinson. LICENSE BOOST URGED BY STATE AUTO GROUP Association Directors Favor Slight Increase. A slight increase in automobile license fees is advocated by the Hoosier State Automobile Association as part of its 1928 program, agreed upon at the directors’ annual meeting at the Columbia Club Monday. It was pointed that the good roads board working with the automobile association had already gone on record indorsing a small increase in the fee. This action, directors said, was taken because they are convinced that the motoring public wants paved roads now, and also in view of the fact that the highway commission could handle a $5,000,000 increase in the construction program without any material increase in overhead. All officers were re-elected. They are: E. R. Baldridge, president; J, Cooper Props, vice president; J. N. McCoy, vice president; C. W. Lanz, vice president; W. L. Hubbard, treasurer, and M. E.
