SIAM'S RULERS IN CAPITAL TO MEET HOOVER Delete Part of Ceremonies Because of King’s Weakness. BY JOSEPH H. V. BAIRD, I nlted Fre* Staff WASHINGTON, April 29.—President Hoover received an official call today from their majesties, the king and queen of Siam, who came half way around the world to visit this western democracy. The royal pair, accompanied by the Prince and Princess Svasti, the queen s parents; Lieutenant-Colonel Campbell B. Hodges, the President's military aide, and other officials, arrived at the White House at 10:15 a m. They stayed fifteen minutes, chatting pleasantly with the chief executive and Mrs. Hoover. The king and queen motored from the White House to their palatial home on Massachusetts avenue and were followed shortly by Mr. and Mrs. Hoover, who, as official etiquette demanded, repaid their visit. Weakened by Illness The king's physical condition, weakened by a great illness, caused his physicians to eliminate part of the scheduled ceremonial, a visit to the Arlington national cemetery and Mt. Vernon, and a radio speech. Accompanied by Queen RambhaiBarni and a pretentious retinue, Siam's monarch arrived here at 6 p. m. Tuesday on a special train from New York. All the pomp and circumstance a Republican government can muster were marshaled in their honor.

Long before the train arrived Vice-President Curtis, Secretary of State Stimson and other high officials assembled at the station. A company of marines, glittering in full dress of two-toned blue slashed with red and gold, lined up to form a lane from the tracks to the President’s private room. Whisked Away Past Capitol King and queen were whisked away in a dignified car bearing the presidential coat of arms, followed by the rest of the two parties. Past the Capitol, its white dome gleaming in the setting sun, and up Pennsylvania avenue to the White House. Then on out Massachusetts avenue to the palatial home of Larz Anderson, former ambassador to Japan. Here hundreds more democratic admirers of royalty were lined up at the curb, as royalty entered the fifty-room democratic palace to seek rest from travel.

TWO SEEK PRESIDENCY Briand and Doumer in Race for Highest French Office. By United Press PARIS, April 29.—The contest for the presidency of France narrowed down to two men today, with indications that there will be a vigorous shakeup of the cabinet of Premier Pierre Laval if Aristide Briand, leading candidate, is elected next month. Senator Paul Doumer, 74, who is small in stature, but otherwise resembles Charles Evans Hughes, is the second candidate, believed to be about ten votes behind Foreign Minister Briand. When President Gaston Doumergue Tuesday summoned the national assembly to meet May 13, for the election, Doumer definitely became a candidate, although Briand still declined to announce his candidacy formally.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

HINT ROOSEVELT NAS HURT HIS 1932 CHANCES Republicans May Jump on Him as an ‘Ally of Tammany. By United Press WASHINGTON, April 29. Trained political observers here expect important political consequences to flow from the refusal of Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt to remove from office Mayor James J. Walker of New York on charges of misfeasance. While oracles of both major parties were silent, the Republicans at least were expected to have some well-considered publicity ready in the near future regarding what is inter-

preted in some circles as a gesture of amity toward Tammany hall. Roosevelt generally is conceded at present to be leading for the Democratic presidential nomination next year. He has been considered in prohibition areas to be “safe,” because he has not been as vociferous along that line others. He has not been connected with “the interests,” and his fight with the power companiei- has won him friends in the west. The one delicate spot lay in his possible link with Tammany, archdemon to voters all over the country. Republicans have attempted to connect him with Tammany, and through Tammany with the New York City scandals. His friends had hoped the Walker case would give him an opportunity to assert his independence from that organization. Instead he threw out the charges of prominent New Yorkers on the ground that they were too general and to a large extent involved not Walker, but his subordinates. This, it is said will be interpreted by his opponents as constituting subservience to the Tiger.
