The Indianapolis Times

BY SHERMAN MONTROSE NEA Service W’riter SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 3. —For the first time, American theatergoers soon will be treated to natural-color undersea photogrsphy of the submarine plant and animal life in and around the south seas. Dr. A. C. Pillsbury, noted Berkeley camera-scientist, is back home after a four-month expedition into the south seas, w’here the doctor “shot” some 13,000 feet of motion picture films and more than 1,000 still pictures under the surface of the Pacific ocean. Incased in a diver’s helmet, but wearing only a bathing suit to protect his body, the scientist would descend from the side of a small boat and shoot the underwater life by means of a special waterproof camera equipment. t> a n “ \ MONG other things, I learned xY that fish are about as curious as human beings,” said Dr. Pillsbury when he arrived home on the Matson liner Sierra. “Soon after I went over the side of the boat and set my camera on the ocean floor, the fish would begin to gather around and peek into the ‘windows’ of my helmet. "There w'ere so many that I could not see and I was forced to brush them away with my hands. “Soon after being brushed away, the curious fellow's w'ould be back again trying to get a look at me. Between brushes of my hands, however, I managed to get some most extraordinary pictures of undersea life and coral formations. "Fortunately there were no sharks, devil fish, or barracuda among my uninvited guests.”

n tt tt DR. PILLSBURY sailed for Honolulu on the Malolo four months ago. After shooting botanical subjects on the island, he sailed to Suva, Fiji islands, where he w'as commissioned by a scientific publication to take colored and still pictures of rare submarine specimens of which the waters abound. Dr. Pillsbury said that on the island of Benga he managed to film the rare and closely guarded “Fire Walkers’ ceremony,” an annual religious fete peculiar to Benga. It consists of a pit of hot coals seventeen feet in diameter, over which the natives walk with bare feet. The coals are hot enough to burn shoe leather, but the natives walked across the glowing embers unflinchingly.

INDIANAPOLIS, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3,1930

STATE VOTERS SLUMBER WITH ELECTION NEAR Both Parties Frantically Attempt to Arouse Ballot Interest. CANDIDATES USE RADIO Watson Opens Campaign; Fess and Fort to Speak Here. BY BEN STERN General apathy toward the election of Nov. 4, which is being evidenced at the present time, is worrying and presenting a problem to leaders of both parties. Stimulation of the voters through use of appeals over the radio, theater talkies and rallies is being planned for the remaining few weeks of the campaign and both Republicans and Democrats will resort to all of these means in order to stir up interest. If this can not be accomplished the election will be a battle of organizations and the party with the strongest and most efficient will win. Heavy artillery of the Republican national committee is being brought into play in Indiana. Watson Opens Drive

The program .arted Thursday night when Sent ,or James E. Watson spoke over a hook-up of fortyfive stations of the Columbia broadcasting network. Franklin Fort, formerly national committee secretary' and defeated candidate for the New Jersey Republican senatorial nomination, and W. O. Wood, treasurer of the United States, will make a whirlwind tour through the stole during the week. The big gun, however, will be Senator Simeon D. Fess of Ohio, national chairman, who will speak at a rally in the National Guard Armory here, Friday night, Oct. 10. Fess wil be introduced by Sehator Arthur R. Robinson. Other speakers will be Governor Harry G. Leslie, Elza O. Rogers, state chairman; Archibald M. Hall, Seventh district congressional candidate, and Telford B. Orbison, president of the Irvington Republican Club, which is sponsoring the meeting. Robinson has been speaking extensively in the state and the entire tenor of his speeches has been that of an attack upon John Raskob, Democratic national chairman.

Klan Flavor Disliked Other and unimportant speakers are using the same tune and it is having an unpleasant reaction at Republican state headquarters because it bears a tang of the Klan. “Sending Robinson out to make speeches is just like sending a boy to wa with a popgun,” declared one Republican leader. “He peppers away at Raskob. and, although without doing any injury, it is beginning to annoy members of Raskob’s faith. “We had a chance to win them back into the fold as the Klan issue is dead, but Robinson is doing his very best to revive it.” Watson’s itinerary has been fully planned. On Oct. 13 he wil] speak over Station WKBF here; Oct. 14 he will appear at Terre Haute; Oct. 16 at Evansville. On Oct. 21 he will speak in Lake county, at a city as yet not designated; Oct. 23 at Elkhart; Oct. 28 at Ft, Wayne, and Nov. 1 at Cadle tabernacle here. Following his custom of years he State Broadcast Studied will wind up the campaign Nov. 3 in his home town, Rushville. Democrats are not bringing any national speakers to the state but are concentrating their efforts on county and district organization. A state-wide radio hookfp is being considered for the middle of the month when county chairmen over the state will call meetings and a half hour of speaking will be held from headquarters here, during which the state candidates will be introduced and Paul McNutt, convention keynoter, will speak. It is only in Marion county that the general apathy is welcomed. Coffin organization leaders believe that if only a light vote turns out, the strength of their organization will turn the tide in the county. Great interest in a constitutional convention referendum is being Reported from the rural districts, while nothing has been done in the larger centers to stir up popular opinion on this question.

PROSPERITY IS BANKERS’ ' JOB, HOOVER DECLARES

‘You Must Calm Fears of People/ Convention Is Told by President. BY PAUL R. MALLON United l4ess Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. Oct. 3.—President Hoover, after appealing to the nation’s bankers to take the lead in bringing back prosperity, is in the capital today for a rest before starting another speech-making trip. The present trip took Mr. Hoover to Cleveland, where he addressed the 6,000 members of the American Bankers’ Association, changing his prepared speech at the last minute to challenge a theory expressed at the convention that the living standard of the United States is too high in comparison with other nations. The President’s special train farrived in Washington early this morning. His next tour will take him into the important congressional campaign states of Massachusetts and South Carolina next Monday and Tuesday. Sees Ohio Leaders The executive conferred briefly with Ohio Republican leaders aboard the special train. The President’s speech was one of optimism in the face of business reverses. He pledged the resources of the administration to the expansion of the government industrial program wherever possible. “We know that one of the prerequisites of ending a depression is our ample supply of credit and low rates of interest,” the executive told his more than 30,000 listeners gathered in the hall where his predecessor, President Coolidge, was nominated. “The income of a large percentage of our people is not reduced by the depression but by unnecessary fears and pessimisms, the result of which is to slacken the consumption of goods and discourage enterprise.” Problem for Bankers “Here the very atmosphere of your offices will affect the mental attitude, and if you please, courage of the individual will depend on you for both counsel and money. “The job of the bankers is to instill in the people a faith in the ultimate future of the United States.” Sporadic applause greeted his remarks in the auditorium. When he 1 left a demonstration was staged by the attending delegates and guests, who cheered for five minutes.

The presidential reception in Cleveland was the cause of considerable comment among his friends and guests. There was very little applause as he marched through the lines of police in a two-mile parade to his hotel, and later police had difficulty stopping a Communist demonstration. Ticker Tape Thrown In the downtown district, a span of five blocks, the greeting was more cordial. Ticker tape was thrown from the windows and enthusiastic cheers arose from the crowd when the President and Mrs. ’Hoover passed. An hour before his scheduled appearance Mr. Hoover changed his' speech to attack the theory that American living standards are too high. The whole idea of the American economic system, he said, is to increase the standard of the workers. • PARALYSIS SCARE OVER Disease Which Took Six lives at School Passes It& Peak.
