BORAH RETURNS TO CAPITAL AND HOOVERQUAKES President and Aids Squirm as Firebrand Senator Rolls Up Sleeves. BY RAYMOND CLAPPER United Pr** Staff Crre*pndent WASHINGTON, Oct. 1. Every day brings Its worry for the powers In Washington. Until this week’s Saturday Evening Post was Issued, 'lt was Calvin Coolidge. Now that he has eliminated himself, It is Senator William E. Borah who is drawing the administration’s scowls. Tlie senator, back east after a Rummer’s grazing in the western grassroots, is ready to resume his place at the head of the mostfeared one-man bloc in congress. Those close to Mr. Hoover do not regard Borah as serious presidential competition—and neither does the senator. What they fear from Borah is the 200-word statements which he will issue from time to time and the five-minute speeches which he will make from his desk in the rear of the senate chamber next winter. Ready for Firing Line He has been getting ideas all summer out in Idaho and now he is ready to stay here through the most turbulent session in many congresses and throw his deadly harpoon at the most critical times. Borah generally is discounted as a serious presidential possibility. Every four years a “Borah boom” starts, usually when Washington correspondents are hard-pressed for facts and ideas. The Senator always smiles amiably at such times. He doesn’t mind the advertising, but he has no illusions. The key to Borah is that he is not a political organization, but a personality, one of the dominant political personalities in public life, [whose personal views rank abroad ’second only to those of the President. Ready for Action This winter, he is prepared to throw this personality into the momentous issues confronting the government, not always but often in opposition to Mr. Hoover. He is preparing to go even farther than the President in pressing disarmament. He will support Mr. Hoover’s moratorium proposal when the qquestion of ratification comes up in the senate. On the tax issue, Borah intends to press for throwing a heavier share of the burden on the large /incomes and inheritances. He intends to seek radical alteration in the government farm policy, renew-

Permits ran well over a million dollars, while such cities as St. Louis, Baltimore, Pittsburgh and Minneapolis were far behind us. Local building dining August, 1931, showed about a third increase over the same month of 1930. tt tt tt Here are several examples of the drop in commodity prices. In June 1929 Electrolytic Copper was 17.8 cents per pound and in June 1931 It was 8.2 cents (now around 7 cents) a drop of almost 60-Per Cent. Wheat is 50-Per Cent of last year and crude oil dropped about 75-Per Cent. a tt t Sam R. McKelvie, publisher of the Nebraska Farmer and an authority on the agricultural situation, says that the farmer can break even on 30-cent wheat. He also says that the farmer who is doing his own work with modern machinery is in much better shape today than he was during the first post-war depression that hit agriculture in 1920-21. a a a With all the talk about wheat prices, it is interesting to note that wheat represents only 5-Per Cent of the total National farm income. Most farmers in this section merely use wheat as a rotation crop to rebuild the soil and not particularly for income purposes. tt a a Will Rogers, good will ambassador at large, gives his own formula for a happy, successful life. ‘‘The secret of my sucess, if I’ve been successful, is keeping young, associating with young people, my children for the most part. I never worry and I expect to live to be 100-years. Worry kills more people than bootleggers. I never fret, drink or smoke.” Rogers calls his Beverly Hills mansion the “House that Jokes Built.” ft ft ft While the work of expansion goes merrily on, we are still doing business and still dispensing those famous Miller Geared-to-the-Road Tires and Vesta Quality Batteries with special plate-lock-ing isolators.

ing his demand for trial of the debenture plan of relief to which Mr. Hoover is opposed. Borah fraternizes with all parties and blocs on occasion. Owing to the even division of the parties in the senate, his independence, and his sharp intuition give him the chance of his lifetime to be the dominant individual in the chamber. It is there, rather than in presidential politics, that Borah expects to make his mark for history.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

NYMPHS OF THE ‘DAWNCE’ LAND in cmrs JAIL Three Men Who Take to Esthetic Whirls Pinched by Police Squad. Haze that lifted from a gravel pit near Twenty-first and Montcalm streets at 6 this morning raised the curtain on a dance of nymphs—the second scene of their first and last act. Sergeant Arthur Hueber an£ members of his cruising squad were the audience at the open-air theater and didn’t pay to get in, but three men probably will pay before the show is over at police headquarters. Hueber noticed the trio and ordered driver Harry O’Mara to rush him to the scene. It appeared from a distance that two men were preparing to hurl a woman into the pit. And What a Surprise! Stripping off their coats as they made a forced circuit of five blocks to reach the pit, Hueber and patrolman Albert Brahaum were ready to leap into the cold waters to save the fair damsel. But when they reached the scene they found: Three men dancing on the bank of the pit. One of the trio was garbed only in a blanket and scanty underclothing and the others joined him :n the esthetic whirls of the dance. They told police they were Robert Wolfe, 22, of Crawfordsville; Eugene Hoffman, 23, of 1802 West Eighteenth street, and George McVey, 27, of the Wayside Inn, near New Ross, Ind. All were held under high bonds on vagrancy counts. Involved in Auto Crash To return to the first scene of the act, the men are said to have admitted they were involved in an automobile crash in the 2800 block Boulevard place an hour before. They admitted, according to police, that they fled with the driver of the car after the automobile had smashed into a parked car. Reports of the accident to police said two men and two women had fled from the accident scene. Officers are searching for the fourth man, believing witnesses thought the blanket-covered individual was a woman and fearing that the last member of the quartet may be garbed in a blanket, giving the impression of the second woman.
