UTILITY GO UGERS ASSAILED BITTERL Y BY LA FOLLETTE

FORUM THRONG CHEERS WORDS OF ‘YOUNG BOB' Wisconsin Senator Cracks Whip as He Flails Exorbitant Rates. HITS FEDERAL POLICY Tells Kirshbaum Crowd U. S. Treasury Should Help With Poor Aid. Slashing into the ranks of the private utility owners with a devastating array of figures and statistics, Senator Robert M. La Follette Jr. of Wisconsin opened the Indianapolis open forum season at Kirshbaum center Sunday night before a record forum throng. “Four giant companies control 95 per cent of the power consumed in the United States,” said La Follettc. “And these companies have create* a perfect maze of holding companies, super holding companies and super-super holding companies. Even the experts are unable to trace these holding firms to their rightful owners.” The forum crowd burst into cheers as La Follette waved his fist and cried: “Let us have direct municipal and federal competition with these utilities. Let ub open Muscle Shoals and demonstrate to the nation just how cheaply power can be manufactured.”

Has Crowd ‘With Him’ “In the city of Tacoma, Wash.,” continued the senator, “housewives get an hour of cooking for one mill —one-tenth of a cent—from the publicly operated utility there. How would you housewives like that?” “Publicly owned utilities in Wisconsin charge 2'i cents a kilowatt hour for power. Private interests charge 6 and 7 cents an hour.” Speaking on “What Do the Progressives Want?” the nation’s youngest senator quite evidently had the crowd “with him” from the start of his lecture. Assails Tariff Kill “One of the contributing factors to the depression,” cried La Follette, “is the Hawley-Smooth tariff monstrosity—the greatest legislative blunder of its kind.” He declared that the Progressives stood for the shorter hour day and the shorter work week and the matching of federal dollar for municipal and state dollar in poor relief. “The nation’s leaders,” he said ironically, “declare that a federal dole would break down the rugged individualism of America. A dole —what is it that we have if it isn’t a dole from municipal, county and state treasuries? “I can not see one iota of difference in a dollar coming from the federal treasury and a dollar coming from the treasury of the city of Indianapolis. The only difference is that in Indianapolis the money comes out of the pocket of the home owner and the taxpayer. Crisis Second Only to War “From the government it would come from higher-taxed “big business.” “The Progressives are ' utterly against the policy of standing by with out hands by our side while our American standard of living, built up in a fight of forty years, is broken down by this depression. “The government has the power to act in this crisis—this crisis seconly only to a war time emergency.” La Follette blamed the present crisis, “the worst since the Civil war,” on heedlessness of the Harding and Coolidge conservative administrations to halt the pulling of the public's credit from the industries and the farms to the speculative stock market, “when a downfall of this system was inevitable.” Slaps Factory Operations Industry must be stabilized, said the senator, and declared that the Progressives favor the creation of a national economic staff with the power to go into every industry and factory in the country and obtain the necessary information to regulate the ebb and flow of manufacturing so that there need never be further depression. “There must be an end to the type of industrial operation which permits a plant to operate day and night for ninety days and then close down for four months,” La Follette asserted. “The Progressives,” he continued, “demand unemployment insurance. Why should not the man and woman who labors faithfully for an industry have a reserve to meet these needs when their working days are done?” Want Control Inflation The final point on the Progressive platform, he said, is for a nationwide public works program to be financed by public bonds, sold not on the public market, but to the federal reserve system which would be directed by law to issue notes against the bonds to be taken up as business picks up. He declared this to be "control inflation." The speech marked the, opening of the Open Forum s sixth season. It is sponsored by the Jewish Community Center Association. CONGRESSMAN IS DEAD Ernest R.

Five-Mile Battleship Array Fires 21 Guns as President Passes. BY PAUL R. MALLON United Press Staff Correspondent ABOARD U. S. S. ARKANSAS, YORKTOWN, Va., Oct. 19.—Fifty mighty fighting men of war thundered a battle welcome to President Hoover upon* his arrival here today. A proud five-mile line of bluegray cruisers and destroyers unleashed their twenty-one gun salutes simultaneously as the Arkansas, bearing the presidential party, pushed her prow past the first ship in line at 8 a. m. Black smoke and thunder filled the air and shook the sea before the eyes of the President, who stood on the bridge of the Arkansas. It was the first time he had witnessed the rare spectacle of a whole scouting fleet honoring him as its com-mander-in-chief. French Cruisers in Line First to catch his eye was the flagship Augusta, heading the line drawn up at the right side of the York river. On the bridge of the Augusta was Vice-Admiral Willard, who gave the order for the terrific din of three pounders. The Arkansas did not return the fire but steamed along at ten knots past its sisters of the fleet. All hands were drawn up on deck at attention, facing the fleet. Over at the left were two French cruisers Duquesne and Suffren which brought a distinguished group of Frenchmen to the celebration of the 150th anniversary of Cornwallis’ surrender at this quiet little Virginia hamlet. They looked on in awe as did the old restored frigate Constitution, hero of many sea battles. The Constitution was the third ship in line on the left side of the river. Arkansas Returns Salute Behind it, on the high banks, the President could see towering over scrubby pines, the monument dedicated by President Arthur to commemorate the Revolutionary war victory of the American colonies. The Arkansas slid into anchorage beyond the Constitution, about 1.000 yards off shore. Soon there appeared bouncing over the waters of the river an admiral’s bark, bringing Willard over to pay an official call of welcome. His appearance was the signal for the Arksansa to try her hand at the trigger and she burst out in thunder with the vice-admiral’s salute of seventeen guns. Hoover appeared impressed by the ceremony. It was possible that he recalled the serious dispute he has had the last few days with the navy over reduction of the naval budget next year—a dispute being arbitrated by the budget director and the navy budget officer in Washington. ‘Red Coats’ Await Visit , After Admiral Willard's visit, the President had a few moments of relaxation before the welcoming party of Frenchmen headed by the French ambassador Claudel and Marshall Petain arrived in a small boat from the Duquesne. In their party was Rear Admiral Descottes-Genon of the French navy; Captain Brohan. commanding the Duquesne, and Captain Lacroix commanding the Suffren. Their arrival called for a nineteen-gun ambassadorial salute from the Arkansas. Exactly two hours were required for these ceremonies of welcome before Hoover went ashore to deliver and address at the pageant field. The village of Yorktown was jammed with holiday crowds. The land welcoming party included Governor Pollard. Senator Swanson and Representative Bland of Virginia. Mingling around them were tattered continentals and brilliant clad “red coats.” Some Revolutionary ladies with powdered wigs and hoop skirts all were waiting to re-enact the historic event. Symbolic of a more modern era. however, were hot dog stands, toy balloon salesmeh and airplanes skirting overhead. Reports $755 Jewelry Theft Theft of jewelry valued at $755 from his home over the week-end was reported today to police by T. W. Ayton of 2155 Wiltshire road. The loot included a diamond ring valued at S7OO, a patch and a ring valued at $55, Ayton said.

First Steps in New Dance to Be Taught Free at Indiana Tonight. Clip this story and learn anew dance! That's the opportunity being given to every reader of the Indianapolis Times by the management of this publication and the Indiana Roof ballroom as a result of the wide interest being displayed over the “Tangiana." “Tangiana.” says Tom Devine, manager of the roof, is the name of anew dance devised by Jac Broderick. It promises to sweep the nation as did the “Camel Glide,” which created such a sensation here two years ago and later became popular nationally. With a suggestion of the tango, the new step carries the grace of a slow waltz and at the same time retains a dash of vivacity which makes it appeal to young and old alike. Many roof dancers predict that it will be the “fashionable step” of the coming season. As an accommodation to readers of The Times, every person who clips this story and presents it to the Indiana ballroom doorman between 7:15 and 8:15 Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday nights will be admitted without charge to participate in “Tangiana” classes at those times. Devine urged, however, that every one come as early as possible in order to take full advantage of the classes. The dance consists of four steps, the first two of which will be taught Tuesday night. The third and fourth will be introduced Wednesday night and then the four will be taken together Thursday night. Friday night there will be an “open” Tangiana contest for all dancers with prizes going to the best. The usual Monday night instruction classes for beginners will be held at the roof between 8:30 and 10:30 tonight as usual.
