STOUT FIELD BECOMES STRICTLY MILITARY AIRPORT
NATIONAL GUARD PURCHASE FINAL STEPINCHANGE Commercial Aviation Moves to Municipal Field as Lease Is Ended. CURTISS MOVING OUT Exodus Completes Return of Mars Hill Site to Military Use. Exodus, beginning today, of Cur-tiss-Wright Flying Service from Stout field, Mars Hilll, will see complete transition of one of the city’s major commercial aviation centers of two years ago, and the return of the airport to a strictly military field. Purchased originally by the state for the One hundred thirteenth observation squadron, Indiana national guard, the field was transformed into a commercial port several years ago when Curtiss-Wright obtained a fifty-year lease and erected the most elaborate hangar In the vicinity. Embry-Riddle, an air mail and passenger division of American Airways, and Transcontinental Air Transport, now Transcontlental and Western Air, Inc., also went to the field, the latter constructing its own buildings between the squadron’s hangars and Curtiss-Wright base. Several private pilots and clubs operated from the field. Removal in Two Weeks Thus Stout field became not only a military field, but the most important commercial port in the city. However, when municipal airport was'completed, both passenger and mail lines and several private owners transferred there. Saturday, Curtiss-Wright relinquished its lease and sold its hangar to the squadron, and. leaving the field, will be the last commercial aviation enterprise to use the state port. Equipment not purchased by the squadron will be moved from the field within two weeks, and the squadron is expected to take possession of the buildings within two weeks, and the squadron is expected to take possession of the buildings within from ten days to two weeks, according to Major Richard F. Taylor, commanding officer. The squadron will be in monopoly of the field within thirty days, he predicted. Its quarters in the national guard armory downtown will be given up, and the space in the new hangar and in the small buildings erected by TAT will be utilized for offices, the major said. Squadron Back From Camp The hangars are heated, and will house all planes owned by the guard. The squadron returned to Sout field Sunday after two weeks’ annual training at Camp Knox, Ky., with the Thirty-eighth division of national guard troops, of which it is the air unit. Army air corps, inspectors, watching the squadron operate at camp, gave it high rating, Major Taylor said. One officers said it was the best national guard squadron in the United States, from military and flying points of view. All equipment used at camp is being checked this week, and one plane, due for a major overh.au but damaged in a minor crash at camp, is to go to Fairview depot to be rebuilt.

Barred Senator Charges $555,000 Was Offered Him by Rosenwald to Quit Race
Frank L Smith Issues Open Letter, Hitting Back at Philanthropist for Illinois Campaign Activity. By United Press CHICAGO, Aug. 17.—Frank L. Smith charged today in an open letter that Julius Rosenwald, the philanthropist, offered him the equivalent of $555,000 in 1926 to withdraw from the senatorial race in Illinois. The letter was addressed to Carroll Woody, University of Chicago professor, who recently published a book condemning Smith’s successful 1926 campaign which resulted in the senate later refusing him his seat. Smith suggested the letter be incorporated as an additional chapter of the book. Although copies of the letter were distributed widely in advance, members o.c Rosenwald’s family said today the philanthropist had not been informed of the charges against him. Rosenwald has been seriously ill the last four months and his son Lessing announced that “because of his condition, members of the family are unwilling at this time to have brought to his attention the controversy between Professor Woody and Mr. Smith." The Dwight real estate man, whom the United States senators

GENERAL dissatisfaction with the Democratic office holders swept into power in the 1930 election is evinced in Lake county. Although no concrete basis for disapproval is given, there seems to be a decided undercurrent of discontent, which in the main is fomented by Republican workers. One cause for complaint is that the Democratic officials “are not of as high type as could be desired,” as one man put it. Politicians attribute this to the fact that never having won an election in Lake county, the Democratic county leaders were forced to draft names in order to have a full ticket. n n u A case in point is that of Robert Estill, Lake county prosecutor, an ex-preacher, and now a persistent luncheon club orator. Democratic ire is aroused because Estill insists in each address that he is a nonpartisan prosecutor, as Lake county is normally. Republican and therefore both parties elected him. Yet Estill declares that he is a logical Democratic choice for at-torney-general. The joker in the entire Lake county situation is the fact that for years the Democrats shouted in favor of placing the county officials on a salary basis to put hundreds of thousands of dollars of fees in the county treasury. n a o The cry for a salary system was worked to death in all campaigns. Then to their consternation, a Democratic house ‘under flaggellation) passed a salary bill after the members of the party were elected to county office. The common plaint there now is: “The Republicans got the gravy

LADOGA, tad., Aug. 17.—Thirtyseventh annual reunion of the Hostetter family was held in Ladoga Sunday at the home of Mrs. Amanda Hostetter, and was attended by 125 members and friends of the family. The reunion this year was of special significance, as it commemorated the one hundredth anniversary of the arrival of David Hostetter, a pioneer of the family, in Montgomery county. A granite monument was unveiled with suitable ceremonies on the farm that he entered as government land, three and one-half miles southwest of Ladoga, one hundred years ago. The monument bears the following inscription: “To the memory of David Hostetter, our honored ancestor and pioneer, who settled on this farm in 1831, Erected by his descendants 19^1."

pendent Republican, could have a clear field. pe said that on Oct. 3,1926 (after he had been nominated by the Republican party and stories had been published concerning the Insull contributions), Rosenwald made him the offer in the Congress hotel in Chicago. Smith quoted Rosenwald as saying to him on that occasion; “After the meeting the other day, I went to an inner room to take a siesta, upon orders from my doctor. While lying there thinking, I had a brainstorm. I thought to myself, ‘lf I will give $500,000 to have Magill elected, why not give Frank Smith $500,000 and have him withdraw?’ “So I acted. “No one knows what I am about to say to you except my wife, whose consent I had to get before I could make the offer, and no one else will know from me. “If you will withdraw from the senatorial race, I am here to offer you 10,000 shares of Sears-Roebuck stock the moment you sign your withdrawal notice. In a few months that stock will be worth threequarters of a million dollars.” (Smith states at another point that the stock actually was worth $2,000,000 two years later.) In the 1926 election Rosenwald, according to Smith’s letter, sponsored Magill’s candidacy. Smith was elected. The James A. Reed senatorial committee investigated the campaign, with the result that Smith twice walked into the United States senate seeking recognition
for years and when we do get a break and get into office, someone pushes the bowl out of our reach.” Os course, this is true—Lake county never has had a Democratic administration, and it is something new not to have its county officials under indictment for one chicanery or another, as has been the history of the past. It is most difficult for Lake county taxpayers to become accustomed to this. NAB 8 ON WOMAN’S TIP Scorned Dance Hall Hostess Turns Police on Robber Gang.

Winter’s Here By United Press DENVER, Colo., Aug. 17. Denver took on a mid-winter appearance when a record breaking August hailstorm filled the streets with ice Sunday to a depth of three feet. Temperatures dropped rapidly and many residents were seen clearing away the drifted ice with snowshovels so they could get their automobiles out of driveways. A violent crash of thunder preceded the freak storm. The hail and then heavy rain followed. Trees were stripped of their leaves by the hail stones. Gardens were destroyed. When the ice melted, storm streets were filled with water, sewers were overtaxed and the At Almeda and Santa Fe, a busy corner, a lake 350 feet wide and three feet deep was formed.
LEGION ‘GRAB’ IS CHARGED TO CARNEGIEJOARD Bonus Pleas Assailed by Foundation in Report; Flails Colleges. By United Press NEW YORK, Aug. 17.—The American Legion is assailed as a subsidy seeking group of lobbyists, and exemption of college football from taxation is attacked today by the Carnegie Foundation. Dr. Henry S. Pritchett, retiring president, in the annual report of the foundation, published today, said: “The claim that the country owes a subsidy to every citizen who has served sixty or ninety days in its military service is an impudent and unwarranted claim. To admit it would strike at the very roots of partriotism itself. “The moment a citizen calls on the government for a subsidy, whether in the form of bonus or old-age pension, for a s-ervice that neither has affected unfavorably his health, nor his ability to earn a living, he abandons his position as a patriot." College Football Hit Dr. Pritchett accused leaders of the Legion of imitating the G. A. R. in raiding the United States treasury and warned that giving every former soldier a bonus would place a staggering and intolerable burden on the nation. “The commercializing of football and its transformation from a game into a public show for money raises an interesting question concerning taxation,” Dr. Pritchett said. He suggested that colleges and universities which have tremendous incomes from football “carry their share of the burden of gov?rr , "" i nt.” Seniors in colleges and universities do little better than freshmen in tests on general scientific, historical and literary material, according to another phase of the report. Results of examinations given to 10,500 Pennsylvania students indicate that the American system of term courses with term examinations and credits does not favor the retention and general increase of important knowledge. Believes Change Urgent “To deserve the name of an educational institution, a college, in its organization and emphasis, should clearly not be concerned primarily,, with raw information, but with the thinking processes that alone convert such information into effective knowledge,” declared W. S. Learned, staff member, who believes that a marked changed must be made in teaching methods. During the year 1929-30 the foundation began the payment of ninety new allowances and pensions of an annual value of $154,000 to sixty former teachers and thirty widows. In Indiana the following institutions are associated with the foundation under the free pension plan: Indiana university, Purdue university and Wabash college. Rose Polytechnic institute is connected with the foundation under both free pension and contractual annuity plans.

FLEEING RANDIT MAKES ESCAPE IN GUNBATTLE Burglars Busy in City Ovef Week-End; Strike in Many Places. Striking in all parts of the city, bandits and burglars were busy over the week-end. One Negro was arrested in connection with a running gun battle with a police officer following the stickup of a filling station. The Negro bandit obtained S2O when he held up Forrest Donovan, 35, attendant at a Shell station at Thirty-eighth street and Kenwood avenue.
