G. 0. P. STARTS BRISK CAMPAIGN FOR 1932 VOTE Republican Leaders Assail | Democrats in Letters to Workers. By Scrirms-Hoxcard yeiespapcr dlli'inc WASHINGTON, Jan. .—The Republican national committee In launching “an aggressive, active, determined campaign - ’ in behalf of President Hoover from now until the polls close In 1932, Robert H Lucas, executive director of the committee, discloses In a letter forwarded to Republican precinct leaders throughout the country. Copies of the letter were received today by senators. It discloses that a big Republican rally, in behalf of President Hoover, will be staged on Feb. 12. Lincoln s birthday, when the President will speak over a nation-wide radio chain. Hoover’s address will be made the principal speech at simultaneous Republican rallies throughout ihe country Lucas Flays Norris Senators regarded as significant of the attitude of the national committee, the reprinting of the fourth page of Lucas’ letter, his statement attacking Senator Norris, whom he seeks to read out of the party. In his letter Lucas asserts that Democrats have a “well laid plan to embarrass the Republican administration and to discredit the President.” "There has been no let up.” he alleges. "In the Raskob ‘smear Hoover’ plan.” He declares that Democrats by “subtle Innuendo and insidious aganda hope to break down the people’s confidence in Herbert Hoover and thereby elect a Democrat in 1932.” To Take Offensive -Will Republicans stand by and permit this thing to go on?” Lucas asks. “Not if they know about it. Our people must be aroused to the situation. Precinct organizations must be encouraged to carry on the light, for only through precinct organizations can we combat the Democratic assault. ' The Raskob plot must be exposed and killed. “The Republicans must take the offensive and wage an aggressive campaign against this propaganda. Those of us holding positions of leadership in the Republican organization are looked to to lead the fight. That is our job and it will be done.” PRIVATE INDUSTRY IS WIPED OUT IN RUSSIA Soviet Administers Worlds Largest National Budget.

Vision Future Beauty for Fall Creek

-

The future Fall creek is visualized in the above photo. The view is from the Central avenue bridge looking west. Gondolas play their oars, new walks line the creek, forecasting the creek’s 1940 days.

JUST imagine 1940 in Indianapolis. A lucious moon, if a moon can get that way, riding over Fall creek. Zephyrs, if the breezes can get that way, playing hide-and-go-seek with the moon’s rays. Night Niobes nymping and guitars “grittering” O Sole Mio to the “plunk-plunk” of the paddles of gondolas on the creek—if the Niobes, the guitars, and gondolas, can get that way. It does sound like a Venetian night, doesn’t it? And it will be Venice on Fall creek from Capitol avenue to Thirty-eighth street if the creek will but fall in line with plans of north side civic leaders and the city’s park department. No longer with the burrowing “b-r-r” of the mosquitoes chase the loving and the lovely. No longer will the creek's curt breezes save the bandit the verbiage of “Stick ’em up.” No longer ill Fish-hook Ltd. cast for a bass and curse a sunflsh for if they should cast they might get a gondola, canoe, rowboat, or “what-ship-matey?”

This fantasy all comes about because of a drawing in the office of A. C. Sallee, superintendent of parks, and because men in Sallee’s employment are clearing away underbrush along Fall creek. tt u a THE drawing was made by a North Side artist at the behest of civic leaders. It shows Fall creek, the Immaculate, with walks winding in and out the course of its retaining walls. It shows gondolas and gondoliers on the creek. No sand-bars thumb noses at you. “We’re doing preliminary work now like cleaning out underbrush. Some of the unemployed men we took on are aiding in the work,” explained Sallee. “We hope, if funds will permit, to obtain some dredging machinery and clear out sand-bars. But it’ll be up to a drainage district to make what looks like a dream now a reality in four or five years,” Sallee declared. Embryo plans for the beautification project as outlined to Sallee by North Side residents call for a dam west of Capitol avenue, rehabilitation work on all the retaining walls, an average depth of ten feet for the entire creek-bed from Capitol avenue to Thirty-eighth street. “No estimates have been made as to the cost of turning the creek Into a beauty spot,” says Sallee. u a a “TT will be possible for boats to go A from White river into the creek in navigable water at all times of the year if the project materializes. I know of one Los Angeles company that has electric boats that couid be used on the creek. They’re nonsinkable and run on a push-button. A child could operate one without fear of being capsized,” Sallee asserted. The park superintendent admitted that revamping the creek would turn it from a lover’s purgatory to a paradise. “It’s possible to rid the creek not only of its stench but also of Its mosquitoes and then Indianapolis will have a little Venice in the heart of the city,” he concluded. TRAIN CRASH KILLS 3 By United Press CHICAGO, Jan. 9.—Three persons were killed and two others injured today when an Aurora & Elgin electric train crashed into an automobile at a crossing and hurled It sixty feet. The killed were Miss Lucretia Jacobs, 26, Miss Elizabeth Daniels, 40, and Michael Gordon, manager of the Roosevelt hotel. PRESIDENT ENTERTAINS ! By United Preie ! WASHINGTON, Jan. 9. The ; White House has reached the halfway mark on its winter social calendar. President and Mrs. Hoover entertained the diplomatic corps at a dinner last night—the sixth of twelve functions.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

CONFESSES FIVE BANK ROBBERIES Suspect Accuses Three in Holdups, Police Say. Search was on today by state police and the criminal identification bureau for two or three persons named by an alleged bank bandit as an accomplice in five bank robberies in the state. Confessing to the five holdups in northwestern Indiana during the last eight months, Ralph Wilson, 24, St. Elmo, Mo., is said to have implicated three others. Wilson was arrested in Jackson, Mo., and brought here Thursday night for questioning by state authorities before he is taken to Boswell where two of the holdups took place. Two others were in the Marshfield State bank, and the fifth was the Twelve-Mile State bank. William Meredith of St. Louis, now held at Cape Girardeau, Mo., and two men still at large were named by Wilson in his statement, E. L. Osborne, head of the criminal identification bureau, said. Meredith probably will be returned to Indiana soon. Some germs will live in ice or intense cold. Sufficient heat alone will destroy germs of all kinds.

PEACH WITHOUT SEED BELIEVED IN NEAR FUTURE Dream of Burbank Thought Close to Realization in Experiment. By United Press FRESNO, Cal., Jan. 9.—The sprouts that will be the forerunner of the seedless peach that was the late Luther Burbank's dream of his later years may be seen soon. William H. Henderson, the youth whom Burbank took in charge as his protege, on his place just southeast of here has planted abnormally small peach seeds, the discovery and gift of a Fresno well driller. The gift pits are about the size of a cherry stone. From it Henderson hopes to develop eventually the peach that was the object of many plant experiments by Burbank. Henderson already has many new plant developments to his credit. Among them are several varieties of the hibiscus that will live in a temperate climate. One is of the flaming red color that gave the tropical plant its name, the flaming hibiscus. Another is orchid and a third is a subdued, velvety red. Henderson already was pushing development of some stoneless plums he had grown when he was given the diminutive peach stones. Henderson was a high school youth when he was chosen by Burbank as his protege. Henderson now has been “on his own” for about five years, and has achieved considerable fame among nursery men.
