HOOVER FORCES LAY PLANS TO LANDSLIDE CALIFORNIA

SPEAKERS WILL TOUR DOUBTFUL AREAJNNORTH Prepare Vigorous Campaign to Roll Up Record Majority. SOUTH OF STATE SAFE Democrat Strength Centers - Near San Francisco, Wet City. BY PAUL R. MALLON United Press Staff Correspondent PALO ALTO, Cal., July 26.—A plan for a real campaign on the Pacific coast, and for California in particular, was laid today before Herbert Hoover, Republican presidential nominee, when Charles L. Neumiller, chairman of the Republican State central committee, called for a conference. During the last five days friends have been' dropping down on Hoover’s campus office to tell him that the coast is his, but the candidate is mindful that his friends give him only one side of the picture. South Held Secure Republican leaders are not blinded to the fact that there is a sizeable amount of sentiment in the northern part of the State for Gov. Alfred E. Smith, the Democratic nominee. They are determined, therefore, to conduct an extremely vigorous campaign through this region in an effort to roll up for Hoover the largest majority ever obtained by a candidate here. Neumiller worked out his plans in conference Wednesday with Marshall Hale, chairman of the northern California committee, Mark L. Requa, financier; Milton Esberg, treasurer of the central committee, and John L. McNab, the San Francisco attorney who nominated Hoover at Kansas City. The leaders are understood to have reported at that conference that the southern part of the State is safe, but that the Democrats might put up a stiff contest in northern California if the campaign is not properly handled. This important battleground includes San Francisco, which is generally reputed to be a wet city. Hoover is going to tour the disputed district on his fishing trip beginning Saturday, but he will make no speeches and will hold no conferences. Plan Stump Tour Neumiller’s plan is understood' to call for the raising of a suitable campaign fund in which to send speakers through the State, and especially in the north. The speakers are expected to include McNab, Gov. C. C. Young, Senator Shortridge, Mayor Rolph of San Francisco, and Secretary of Navy Wilbur. Democrats thus far have taken no steps toward organization here.

Katherine Stinson, Once in World’s Spotlight, Lives in Quiet. B’l XEA Service SANTA FE, N. M., July 26. Katherine Stinson, who from 1912 to 1918 was one of the greatest aviators in the world, probably never will fly again. The woman who once held both the duration and long distance flight records has retired to private life and now is living in Santa Fe, the wife of M. A. Otero Jr., State auditor of New Mexico and himself an accomplished aviator. In 1918 Miss Stinson tried to enter the American air force as a pursuit pilot. Rejected on account of her sex, she took to driving an ambulance in France. This broke her health, and for seven years she was an invalid. Only recently her health returned, and now that it has she is content to let her famous brother, Eddie Stinson, of Detroit, do the flying for the family. But although she is out of the game, she does not feel envious of the women who are winning fame as fliers. At the height of her career her achievements were known all over the world. She was-the 148th person to become a licensed pilot in America. Few living people hold lower license numbers. When she sailed aloft one night in California and, with magnesium flares, traced a series of let ers against the black sky, she acccmplished something no flier ever had done. She was, incidentally, the first person of either sex to fly at night, the fourth to loop the loop, and the first woman to fly in the Orient. She conducted a flying school in Texas before the World War, and when the American army sent a punitive expedition into Mexico to capture Villa she volunteered to go along as aviator. Her application was turned down, but she had the satisfaction of knowing that most of the pilots who did go were men she had taught to fly. When this Government entered the war she made herself useful in every way possible. Her most noteworthy flight was a trip from Buffalo to Washington in the interest of the Red Cross, in which she made various stops en route to pick up checks totaling $2,000,000 in value.

SHAW, 72, HAS IDEASJF 27 British Author Celebrates His Birthday. Bi) United Press . LONDON, July 26.—The seventytwo years that George Bernard Shaw completes today seem to sit as lightly on his shoulders as twenty-seven do on most people’s. Britain’s most caustic and explosive critic considers that he is growing—at least in his ideas—more youthfully progressive every day. He demonstrated this recently by waiving a long-standing objection and permitting some of his most characteristic words and gestures to be caught by the “Movietone.” / “G. B.” still delights in disturbing some of his more conservative friends by turning up at unexpected times clad in “plus fours” and an old tweed cap. Early risers sometimes may catch a glimpse of the tall, slightly stooping figure, crossing Trafalgar Square in the early morning. Shaw does not let his years deter him from his daily exercise which, when he is at his country place in Hertfordshire, is even more vigorous than the long morning walks in town. DEMOCRATS WILL RALLY Lid to Be Knocked Off County Campaign at Gardens Aug. 15. The ltd will be knocked off the Democratic campaign in Marion County with an all day rally at Walnut Gardens, Aug. 15, it was decided by representatives of the State Seventh District and Marion County organizations Wednesday. All candidates on the Democratic State ticket will be asked to address the gathering. The same day members of the Republican State committee and State candidates will meet at the Severin to discuss candidates’ reports on the political situation in the thirteen districts of the State. FIRE DAMAGES PLANT Diamond Chain Company Suffers $2,000 Loss in Blaze. Fire, caused by an overheated steel treating furnace, damaged the Diamond Chain Company plant, 402 Kentucky Ave., $1,500 to $2,000, Wednesday night, James Doeppers, superintendent, announced today. The department was called to the place about 9 p. m. and soon brought the flames under control. Damage was largely to stock and machinery.

PETERS WARNS DEMOCRATS OF G. O.JUTTACK Urges Party to Expose Corruptionists’ Appeal to Women Voters. Bn Times Special TIPTON, Ind., July 26.—A call for Democratic precinct organizations to “meet and repel the whispering poison attack of the ‘corruptionists’ and their hirelings” was voiced by Democratic State Chairman R. Earl Peters when he bitterly arraigned Republican State candidates in addressing a Ninth District organization meeting here Wednesday night. “Indiana political history presents no parallel to the audacious attempt now being made by Republican managers to influence approval by women voters of the record of corruption written under their leadership,” Peters declared. "Their open boasts that by releasing the ‘whispering squads’ they can monopolize the voting strength of Indiana women is an insult so revolting as to merit rebuke from every self-respecting citizen in the commonwealth. May Import Speakers “The reported strategy of these managers contemplates importation of high-salaried workers from other States who are to hold meetings under the auspices of respectable women’s organizations. Their assignment is to appeal to passion and prejudices—to engender hatred, array friend against friend—all to divert attention from governmental debauchery and save a corrupt political machine that has disgraced Indiana.” “The audacity of this gesture,” Peters said, “will be apparent to Indiana women who know: “That the same leadership that has been repeatedly denounced by Attorney General Gilliom, Solon J. Carter, Thomas D. Adams and other stalwart Republicans, is still in control of the party machinery. Raps Senator Robinson “That the Republican candidate for United States Senator (Senator Arthur R. Robinson) delivers speeches under the auspices of the Anti-Saloon League while his law firm represents more bootleggers in the higher courts than all other Indianapolis law firms combined; “That the influences denounced as corrupt by prominent Republicans prevented the nomination of Frederick K. Landis for Governor; “That no nominee on the Republican State ticket has joined the Republican press in a demand for the Governor’s resignation, but all either openly or tacitly have enthusiastically indorsed his administration; Many Republicans Indicted “That a long list of Republicans from Governor to councilmen have been indicted for crimes without a word of condemnation from the Republican candidates who now solicit the suffrage of the electorate. “While no informed person believes that the leadership denounced as incurably cornipt by Republicans of the type of Gilliom, Carter, Adams and Landis can dominate the women voters of Indiana,” Peters said, “our duty is none the less Imperative. “Our precinct organizations must be so alert and loyal that they promptly will meet and repel the whispering poison attack of the corruptionists and their hirelings. To perfect that character of organization is the most important task now before us." SUFFER PENALTIES IN HOLDUP CASES URGED Schortemeiei Talks to Railway Police Association. “Our courts and legal profession should adopt a determined disposition to do away with technicalities and delays and speaking specifically we should have here in Indiana a greater co-ordination and co-opera-tion among all of the law enforcing agencies,” Frederick E. Schortevneier, Secretary of State, declared in an address before the members of the Indiana Railway Police Association at the Spink-Arms Wednesday. “The immediate considerations concerning the crime problem call for attention to our people along the lines of law enforcement, gqvernment improvement and improved legislation. “We should have in cases concerning holdups and burglaries in which guns are used a substantial increase in penalties,” he said.

SCHOOL BOARD IS NEAR BATTLE OVER LIBRARIAN CHOICE

Two Factions Develop in Discussion Over Filling Vacancy. Possibility of formation of two permanent factions in the Klanelected Indianapolis school board was seen in division today over appointment of a city librarian to succeed Charles E. Rush, resigned. Break up of the old majority faction, composed of President Theodore F. Vonnegut, Charles W. Kern and Mrs. Lillian Sedwick was apparent in the line up of Mrs. Sedwick with Fred Kepner and Lewis E. Whiteman, minority members. There have been no factional differences this year. The split is understood to have been brewing since the first of the year when attempts to prevent reelection of Vonnegut as president failed at the last minute. Denies Favoring Wilcox Mrs. Sedwick and Kepner are reported to be agreed on recommendation by the library committee, of which they and Whiteman are members, or appointment of Dr. Edwin Mead Wilcox, Chicago, as librarian. Whiteman today denied he favored appointment of Wilcox, adding he was not aware the committee had made a selection. Vonnegut and Kern are understood to favor appointment of Luther L. Dickerson, executive secretary board on adult education, American Library Association, Chicago. Mrs. Sedwick left on a two weeks’ vacation trip Wednesday after an anonymous announcement was made that Wilccx positively would be nominated. With Mrs. Sedwick absent, vote on a librarian Tuesday night would give Whiteman the balance of power, with the chance to cause a two to two split in the vote, or to throw Iris vote to Vonnegut and Kern. “Dr. Wilcox will not be appointed librarian if I have anything to say about It,” Vonnegut said today. “He is an excellent botanist and agriculturist, but is practically inexperienced as a librarian. He was not invited to appear before the board, but came here as a job seeker. Praises Rush’s System “I am absolutely opposed to his appointment because I believe he is utterly unqualified for the position, and his appointment would, I believe, result in a breakdown within six months of the morale and system Rush has worked ten years to create.” Rush’s resignation is effective Aug. 1, when he will become Columbia University Teachers’ College librarian. The local position pays $5,500 a year. OPEN FLETCHER BRANCH Community Bank Begins Business at Thirtieth and N. Illinois Sts.

AVIATION ‘BABY’ INDUSTRY NOW IS TRADENANT $100,000,000 Annually Is Spent in Sky Business: Expanding Fast. BY CECIL OWEN, United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, July 26. Tho “infant” aviation industry in America already has developed into a $100,000,000 a year giant, and the commerce department is being swamped with applications for pilot’s licenses. A conservative estimate, based on commerce department data, indicates that more than $100,000,000 a year is being spent in manufacture of planes, construction of airports and transportation of mails and passengers over established routes. Applications for licenses are pouring in at the rate of slightly mors than 100 a day, and a monthly average of 2.500 applications was filed for some months past. In the past fiscal year an average of seventy-five airports a month was established. Many more are proposed. Air mail routes have grown from 218 miles ten years ago to 10,816 miles this month; and 4,000 additional miles are expected to be opened this year. Lowering of the air mail charges is expected, also, to facilitate the growth of this service. There are 130 air plane manufacturing companies, compared with only 80 a year ago. There were 1,995 planes made last year, with an aggregate value of $14,504,999, and commerce department experts estimate that about 6,000 planes will be turned out by the factories this year. Schools for instruction are 307, compared with 161 a year ago. STATE BANKS HEALTHY National Report Shows Indiana Controls 820 Institutions.
