HOOVER FEARS HARM BY TALK OF BIG NAVY King's Proposal to Ask 0. K. on Building Recess Draws Frowns. BY HERBERT LITTLE United Prex* Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. Aug. 6.—The announced plan of Senator William H. King <Dem., Utah), to propose a senate resolution specifically approving President Herbert Hoover's suspension of cruiser building, threatens to cause some embarrassment to the administration. The fear is that “big navy” talk in congress would be unloosed by such a proposal and embarrass Hoover's disarmament conversations with Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald of Great Britain here in October. Cause Might Suffer If a congressional outbreak occurred similar to that made by Senator C. A. Swanson (Dem., Va.i, in a statement Sunday, the cause of naval reduction might suffer in the public opinion of both countries, it was believed. Hoover and MacDonald have been relying heavily during the discussions so far. upon the force of public opinion and this is why debate with a “big navy” slant is unwelcome. President Hoover is confident of his legal authority to hold up construction of the ships until June 30. 1931. Most of the “big navy” advocates have conceded that a short suspension is legal, but that under the law- the construction of the three cruisers involved, and two more, must be started within eleven months, or before the end of the present fiscal year. Likelihood of Opposition In other words. President Hoover faces trouble unless a formal reduction agreement is reached by next June 30—and if the agreement should provide for scrapping of any of the new cruisers, there is still likelihood of much opposition. In addition to Swanson, Chairman Frederick Hale of the senate naval affairs committee and Chairman Fred Britten of the house committee have issued statements, which indicated clearly that they will insist on fulfillment of the present cniiser program, which will not even bring the United States to actual tonnage equality with Great Britain, according to navy department data.

CHILDREN OF CITY WELCOME PEPITO Spanish Funmaker Delivers a New Brand of Comedy that Has a Decided European Flavor. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN THE children of Indianapolis certainly have a fine friend in Pepito. Spanish clown. Pepito is one of those European entertainers who knows how to interest children and at the same time offer a program of such variety that adults are equally interested. Foreign clowns are skilled as mimics and Pepito is excellent at that. He is splendid as the crying baby 'even up to his grotesque makeup) and his imitation lion taming stunt is just as good. Pepito's entrance is done with that European novelty dash that one expects in this type of entertainer. He rides probably the smallest bicycle ever made. His

makeup and costumes are the last word in suggested realism. He is a master at makeup. He has several assistants, the chief one being a

woman of athletic tendencies as well as a pianist. She does an imitation of a' doll playing the piano. Pepito comes mighty close to living up to his title of being a famous clown. The children, every’ boy and girl in Indianapolis, should see Pepito. There is a hokum act present on this bill by the name of Frank Melino that takes the frosted

cake for nonsense plus unique ability at overdrawn comedy. Melino has the stamp of burlesque (that is the method) on about everything I* does, even by himself or with the two members of his company. This man has ability and he has a slap-bang speed which gives the act lightning speed. The result is that he stops the show cold. When a man can put over hokum of this type, make people laugh and happy, then he is a genius of his kind. Lew Reed and Le Vere have some comedy effects while playing musical instruments. They even sandwich good music along with the popular stuff, but even the better grade music is dished up in a hokum manner, although the main playing is legitimate. An interesting act as to merit. Juanita and Paco Casino company is a dancing act. A little more care in routine would give this act a better reception because the dancers have ability. The movie feature is “From Headquarters” with Monte Blue. Now at the Lyric. a p a Indianapolis theaters today offer: “Cocoanuts” at the Circle, “The Mysterious Dr. Fu Manchu” at the Indiana, “Pleasure Crazed” at the Apollo, “Bulldog Drummond” at the Palace. “Drag” at the Ohio, and “Kitty” at the Colonial.

Leonard Charles Hood, 15, of 1818 Howard street, sought by federal officers since March on a counterfeiting charge, was in the Marion county jail today awaiting hearing before Federal Judge Robert C.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

(1, S. SEEKING INTERVENTION, RUSSIA HEARS International Settlement Report Stirs Officials at Moscow. BY EUGENE LYONS United Pres* Staff Correspondent MOSCOW, Aug. 6—Official Moscow was astir today over a report that the United States government was making an effort for international intervention in the current conflict between Russia and China. The report, unconfirmed, but said to have emanated from sources considered trustworthy,” said that the United States government had sent confidential notes through Henry L. Stimson, secretary of state, to Great Britain, Japan, Germany, Italy and France, suggesting the formation of an unbiased commission to determine the causes of the dispute which arose from Nanking's seizure of the Chinese Eastern railway and to fix the responsibility for the conflict. It is stated that Secretary Stimson also suggested the commission be empowered to find methods for the future administration of the disputed road to prevent a repetition of the trouble and that pending a complete settlement a foreign manager, from a country not directly interested, be appointed to take charge of the road and be empowered with authority to safeguard the interests of all. The United Press correspondent was informed op excellent authority that such a.move would not meet with the approval of Soviet officials, who would regard that sort of intervention as anti-Soviet in character.

The protective rates are considerably lower than those of the house bill, but there is no grave apprehension about the consequences because low southern duties make for excellent trading later on the floor when Republicans feel in need of a few Democratic votes.
