SPORT EDEN' IS VISION OF 11. S. FORNEW PARK ‘Playground for All,’ Aim of Giant Project in East. By Tima Special WASHINGTON, May I.—The Great Smoky Park in the role of a national playground for all types and classes of people was envisioned today by Horace M. Albright, director of the national park service. Arrangements for purchase of the park area were concluded Wednesday. “Our plans for the park,’* Albright said, “although necessarily indefinite as yet, call for the type of development which will make the area attractive to all types and classes of people and will fit every pocketbook. Fisherman’s Paradise “We will build good roads for the tourists, and at the same tune preserve a large part oT the park in*its wild, natural state to please the hiking and riding enthusiasts. “The park when the trials are completed will provide some of the best mountaineering east of the Rocky mountains. The fisherman will also find it a real paradise for the sport. We plan to do some fish stocking this summer and in time we will erect, in co-operation with the bureau of fisheries, a hatchery either in or near the park.” The park director said that as soon as the remaining land purchases are completed, the federal survey will begin. Hikers’ Cabins “It is safe to say,” he added, “that we will begin real work this summer. When the busy season is over and we can spare the experts needed to survey the great development, a thorough and detailed plan will be worked out.” Incomplete plans for the area include erection of shelter cabins for hikers and tourists, erection of a telephone system, a forest fire system, motor roads and numerous bridle paths. Albright said that as a result of Wednesday’s agreement with the Champion Fiber Company, he believed the park could r.ow be called “a reality.” The area purchased, the director said, represents the most scenic portions of the development.

BY BEN STERN Political love feasts are strange! and exceedingly peculiar affairs. A , group of office holders, those who hope to hold office and adherento of | these various cliques, get together today for a dinner and to listen to much oratory concerning “our great party” and “ours is a noble herit-! age.” Yesterday, those who today are! sitting side by side at the banquet table, were ready to plunge knives into each other’s backs—tomorrow l the libel and slander statutes will be the opprebrious terms with which ' they describe each other. A case in point is the Jefferson day banquet held at Ft. Wayne this week, under the auspices of seven different Democratic groups of Allen county. XT tt tt R Earl Peters, Democratic state chairman, and Paul V. McNutt, foremost contender for the gubernatorial nomination, were the guests of honor. It was at this same banquet that Peters disavowed the claims that he said the state committee is spon- : soring the candidacy of McNutt for Governor and Speaker Walter Myers for senator. But that is beside the point. The interesting features were that Samuel D. Jackson was toastmaster and Lew Ellingham, Ft. Wayne publisher, headed the McNutt re- j ception committee. To get the picture one must go back to the 1930 primary when Jackson, supported by Ellingham, was seeking the nomination for the circuit bench and Peters, whose home is in Ft. Wayne, supported Clarence M. McNabb. The latter won and the breach was widened. In the state conven-; tion Peters and Ellingham again! found themselves on opposite sides and reports are they engaged in a! verbal battle in a downtown hotel room the night before the session. a a a When Peters threw’ himself wholeheartedly into the McNutt campaign for the nomination, Eliingham found himself almost at once on the opposite side of the fence. Ellingham for a long time has cherished the ambition of becoming Democratic national committeman from Indiana. And both he and his friends credit Peters with block ; ng his election. With Charles A. Greathouse in poor health, it naturally would appear that he will not seek the post in 1932 and thus leave the door open to a hew man. But from all indications Peters will support Thomas D. Taggart for national committeman and Ellingham will have to say, “Foiled again.”! a a a Now the dope is that Fred Wrecking of Bluffton,. former state com- | mender of the American Legion, is j to be the Peters candidate for the j congressional nomipation in 1932,! while Ellingham will support Jack- I son, who w T as the 1928 nominee, for the post. When Peters seeks re-election as j state chairman, it is said the pub- I lisher will be found on the other ! side. Strange things, these political love I feasts.
