PRESS ‘SPOILED' MAYORS' JAUNT, SAYSJTKINNEY Minor Details Overplayed During French Tour, He Declares. Thl It the first of % series of articles about the experiences of E. Kirk MeKinney, representative of Mayor Rejiaald H. Sullivan on the widely pubMcized tour of Frances by American wayors, who were guests of the French government. BY LOWELL NCSSBAUM Rea] significance of the American mayors' trip to Franca was lost in reams of unfavorable publicity in which the public was led to believe the mayors “fussed their way around France,” according to E. Kirk McKinney. who represented Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan on the tour. McKinney, works board president, and Mrs. McKinney reached Indianapolis Tuesday after participating in the five-weeks' tour with more than thirty American mayors as guests of the French government. "Perhaps the most significant feature of the tour,” said McKinney, "was the cementing of friendship between France and America. Tndianapolih also may benefit, I believe, from the free advertising It received. I found much interest among the French in the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.” Comments on "Fussing” In commenting on the “fussing,” McKinney said every little incident, regardless of Its unimportance, was written up in sensational style by press association correspondents. “One unfortunate incident, for which we hardly were responsible,” he said, “was the much-heralded 'boner* of Mayor George L. Baker of Portland, Ore., in making a brief speech during ceremonies at the Unknown Soldier’s tomb in Paris. "None of the Americans knew that French custom decrees silence at the tomb, but the French tour conductor and other Frenchmen in the party did know Baker intended to speak and failed to warn him.” McKinney defended Baker against criticism for making too many speeches, explaining Baker had been named chairman of the group, and was expected to respond to welcoming adresses. Oh, Those Eggs “A number of amusing incidents occurred during the tour,” McKinney commented, “one of the most laughable being when Mayor Metcalf of Omaha, Neb., tried to order 6ome eggs at a hotel dining room. “‘Oofs, oofs,’ he shouted in his best imitation of the French word for eggs. It sounded as if he had been hit In the stomach. "When the waiter just looked blank, concealing a smile, Metcalf finally resorted to sign language. He got his eggs when he imitated a rooster by flapping his arms and crowing.” McKinney and a number of others on the tour had a slight knowledge of the French language gained through war service overseas. “However, our soldier-French didn't do us much good in polite society," he commented.

THEY TELL ME

BY BEN STERN. THEY tell the story of Theodore Roosevelt that when he began to feel a strong ambition to become a resident of the White House, he met an old Republican campaigner and asked him: “How can I go to work to become a President?” “By not seeming to work for it at all,” was the quite unexpected answer. This bit of elemental political shrewdness evidently has been memorized carefully by George Barnard, Indianapolis and Newcastle attorney, of whom it is said: “His eyes are fixed on the Governor’s chair.” George, however, is In a peculiar position. He is a close friend of M. Bert Thurman, Republican national committeeman, who also has had a “call” to become the nominee for Governor and is practically the only avowed candidate in the field. Because of this close association and friendship, Barnard will engage in no strenuous campaigning. But if Thurman should slip and fall in the battle, Barnard will be ready to doff the blanket and get into the race. o a u George almost became nominee in 1928 when Harry G. Leslie was nominated, that is, he would have been one of the participants in a downtown hotel fight for the nomMRS. ARNO STEPS IN: SHE FILES SUiT, TOO Peter Not to Do Battle; Vanderbilts Prepare for Action. By United Press RENO, Nev., June 25.—The Van-derbilt-Arno marital feud had drawn anew combatant today in Lois Long. New York writer, who asked a divorce from Peter Arno on a cross-complaint filed shortly after the caricaturist had filed a suit of his own. Both Arno, suing under his true name of Curtis A. Peters Jr., and his wife charged the other with cruelty. It was reported that the case would not be contested and that Arno would permit Mrs. Arno to win the decree. Unlike the Arnos, it is believed the Vanderbilts will contest their suit in Washoe county courts. DRAFT RAILROAD ~'LAN Consolidation Agreement to Go Before Commerce Body.

ination if “Farmers’ Friend Fred” Purnell of Attica had retained control of the convention. As the story is told, arrangements had been completed with Purnell that in event the fifth ballot on the nomination for Governor should show someone not in the fold would be nominated, he was to adjourn the convention until 9 a. m. the next day and the nominee would be selected in a little conference of G. O. P. leaders that night. a a a The group composed of Barnard, Thurman, Albert Ward, then district attorney, or one of several others, who had not been candidates in the primary or convention, then would offer themselves as candidates and the conference was to make the selection. For some reason or other—perhaps the gavel was so heavy that he could not lift it—Fred Purnell could not fulfill his instructions and so Leslie was nominated. That is the story back of the 1928 convention. Since then, Barnard’s following has grown so greatly that today, if he chose to enter the arena, he would be a most formidable contender for the Republican nomination. But George feels that his best chance lies in “by not seeming to v/ork for it at all.”

ARMY MEN PUT ONAIR SHOW 1,500 C. M. T. C. Boys See ‘Bag of Tricks.’ Fifteen hundred C. M. T. C. cadets today were dreaming of becoming army air pilots after witnessing a thrilling demonstration of air maneuvers Wednesday afternoon over Schoen field, Ft. Beniamin Harrison, by more than fifty army planes. Formation flying by thirty-six speedy pursuit planes from Selfridge Field, Mich., featured the program, the planes taking off, stunting and landing in formation so close that wing tips appeared to be touching. In addition to the C. M. T. C. cadets, a number of other spectators were present and were permitted to inspect the trim army planes at conclusion of the maneuvers. Pilots of the army planes were guests Wednesday night at a dinner given by the Chamber of Commerce and later at a dance at the Antlers hotel, sponsored by local reserve officers. Since the World war, France’s shipping has increased more than a million tons.

PAUPER REBEL SENT TO FARM FORJBO DAYS Convicted of Threatening Poor Farm Guard, Man Gets Sentence. Over the hill to the poorhouse, his only home, is out of the question for George Handlon, penniless ousted inmate of the Marion county infirmary, who was sentenced to 180 days on the state farm today by Judge William H. Schaeffer. Handlon, a 50-year-old tuberculosis sufferer, was convicted of drawing a deadly weapon on Howard Wiseman, nurse at the poor farm. Handlon also was fined SIOO and costs, but these were suspended. Following presentation of evidence by Wiseman and two other poor farm employes, Judge Schaeffer commented that Handlon “apparently had been a trouble maker at the poor farm.” Branded as “dangerous,” Handlon had been discharged from the poor farm by John Carter, poor farm superintendent. Handlon later took his case before the county grand jury. Handlon pleaded with the court on the grounds that he was a tuberculosis victim, but Judge Schaeffer remarked that the state farm would be more beneficial to his health than the Marion county jail where he otherwise would be confined. Testimony by Wiseman, Samuel J. Frantz and John Steadham, all poor farm employes, was that Handlon had threatened Wiseman with a knife on the night of May 29,
