HOOVER FROWNS AT HINTS HE'S BEGUN '32 PUSH Shakes Head at Mention of His Close Link With Party. BY RAYMOND CLAPPER United Press Stall Correspondent WASHINGTON, June 19.—president Herbert Hoover returned from his mid-western speaking trip enthusiastic and encouraged, but feeling that he has been misrepresented by those who regard the journey as having some political significance. . Mr. Hoover feels that political implications which he did not have in mind have been read into his remarks, particularly those at Indianapolis. He would prefer to be regarded as president of the United States and not as president of the Republican party. the president has been pictured generally as having in effect opened on this trip the campaign for his renomination and re-election. It is a picture he would rather discourage. The picture he would give the country is that of its President sitting in the White House working, rather than of a politician barnstorming about the country contriving to get himself re-elected. it is felt among the President’s friends that too much significance was attached to numerous circumstances of the western trip. As the President's train passed through various states, Mr. Hoover took local dignitaries aboard to ride with him during a portion of the trip. Practically all were Republicans In crossing West Virginia, the Repub. lean national committeeman and committeewoman, the Repubt C Z° oVernor and the Republican Sn f + T re guests on the tr uin, out, not the Democratic senator _ n In dlanapolis Mr. Hoover spoke

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

HINT U. S. ASKS SOVIET BOYCOTT| BY ALL NATIONS | Mellon Reported to Have Outlined Position on War Debts. By United Press LONDO.I, June 19.—The presence of Andrew Mellon, United States secretary of the treasury, in London was seen today as having deeper official significance than Mellon and British officials will admit. The Daily Express said that tlje government privately had invited j Mellon to London to discuss re-| vision of war debts. Mellon was reported by the Express to have said he was willing to discuss revision only on con- ! dltion Great Britain immediately, begin reduction of armaments and “joins an international boycott of ! Soviet Russia.” The questions of debt revision and ! arms reduction have been linked closely recently, with many statesmen seemingly convinced that only an agreement assuring success of the forthcoming disarmament conferences at Geneva next year would ! open the way for debt readjustment. The subject, it is recognized, is | a delicate one in America at pres- | ent, particularly in view of the ' 1932 presidential elections. ! His conferences here coincided with the announcement that Premier MacDonald and Arthur Hen-J ! derson, foreign secretary, plan to ; I proceed to Berlin where they will i return the recent visit of German I statesmen on July 17,’ to discuss pro- ' posals for revision of war debts, particularly German reparations payments. The cost of the World war in money has been esitmated at about $186,000,000,000.

CHURCH-STATE BATTLE GROWS AT VERA CRUZ Mexico President Urged to Block Law Aimed at Catholic Priests. By United Press MEXICO CITY, June 19.—The increasingly bitter controversy between the Catholic church and the government of Vera Cruz state ovei the so-called anti-priest law threatened today to assume national significance. An appeal to the federal government to intervene and prevent enforcement of the law in Vera Cruz state was made by Bishop Rafael Guizar Valencia, of Vera Cruz. The bishop said he hoped President Pascual Oritz Rubio personally would intervene and stop enforcement, w’hich is to become effective by immediate publication in the Vera Cruz official gazette. The bishop declared that enforcement of the new law woul 1 compel immediate closure of all Catholic churches throughout the state. He held little hope that his appeal to the federal government would prove successful. He telegraphed the vicar of Vera Cruz, instructing all priests to comply with the orders of civil officers in regard to the new law, but to remain as caretakers of church properties, without exercising religious duties. The Vera Cluz law 7 reduces the number of priests in that state to one to every 100,000 inhabitants, which would limit the number of curates there to eleven, with but one for the city of Vera Cruz itself. Radio sets equipped with sending keys that automatically produce distress calls are being put on life- * boats.
