HIGH TRIBUTES PAID EDISON BY U.S.LEADERS ‘Every American Owes Debt to Him,’ Says Hoover in Statement. Bv United Press Messages of condolence and sympathy from high public men, financiers, scientists, personal friends, and others of lesser renown, on the death of Thomas A. Edison, poured In to Mrs. Edison and the inven,ors family at their home in Llewellyn park today. Among the hundreds of messages and statements were: President Herbert Hoover—lt is civen to few men of any age or calling to become the benefactor all humanity. That distinction came abundantly to Thomas Alva rf.u n ' whose death in his eightyyear has ended.a life of comage and outstanding achievement. His lifelong search for truth fructifying .n more than 1.000 invenions made him the greatest inven°r our nation has produced, and revolutionized civilization itself. He multiplied life and dissolved darkness. He added to the whole wealth of nations. He was great, not, only in his scientific creative instinct and insight, but did more 'han any other American to place invention on an organized basis of 'he utilization of raw materials of purr science and discovery. He was a rare genius. He has been a precious asset to the whole world. Every American owes a personal debt to him.

Brought Honor to Nation It is not only a debt for the great benefactions which he has brought to every American, but also a debt for the honor he brought to our country. By his own genius and effort he rose from a newsboy and telegrapher to the position of leadership amongst men. His life has been a constant stimulant to confidence that our institutions hold open the door of opportunity to those who would enter. He possessed a modesty, a kindliness, a staunchness of character rare among men. His death leaves thousands bereft of a friend, the nation bereft of one of its greatest benefactors. I mourn his passing as a personal friend over a quarter of a century. ‘Changed World,’ Says Ford Henry Ford, automobile manufacturer, one of the triumvirate of famed men and intimate friends which consisted of Edison, Ford and Harvey Firestone Mr. Edison changed the lace of the world in his lifetime and everything he achieved was beneficial to mankind. He was the chief hero of my boyhood and he became my friend in manhood Harvey S. Firestone, tire manufacturer, third member of the famed group of three—Mr. Edison, we all know, had the greatest mind of any man in our generation. His usefulness, his willingness to sacrifice himself for others, his power of concentration and his natural genius all combined to drive him at top speed in his determination to increase the comfort and the welfare of the people and to lift human happiness to its highest standard. Marconi Honors Memory Gugliemo Marconi, Famous Italian Inventor—His influence has gone beyond his immediate discoveries and permeated the whole realm of science. Edison furnished most of my inspiration to achieve results in scientific research. Professor Albert Einstein—Edison was one of the greatest of untiring creative spirits. Sir Oliver Lodge—He has done a splendid work. He was indeed a great inventor. Gerard Swope, President of the General Electric Company—His has been a long life, full of many inventions and great achievements which contributed not only to the progress of civilization and the benefit of mankind, but also his .philosophy of living and his encouragement of youth has been a tremendous stimulation, not only to his own generation but to many generations to come. Schwab Pays Tribute Charles M. Schwab, Steel Magnate, to the Edison Family—You' have lost a good and great husband, and Ia lifelong friend. Emil Ludwig, Historian and Author, and His Wife, Elga—“ Lives of great men oft remind us, we can make our lives sublime and, departing. leave behind us footsteps on the sands of time.” Wilber B. Huston of Seattle, Wash., Winner of Edison's First National Scholarship, in 1929—His Jong life of achievement held all Ihe elements that inspire young men to give a purpose to their lives. I feel in his death the loss of a real friend to whose interest in youth I am deeply indebted. Arthur O. Williams Jr. of East Providence,. R. 1., 1930 Winner—Mr. Edison's death is a great loss because of his contributions to human progress, and those who were fortunate enough to know him personally will miss a strong friend.

T>ETWEEN listening to pleas of postmaster candidates and criticism of Oliver Loomis, Federal attorney for the Northern district of Indiana. Senator James Eli Watson's excursion into the new Fifth and Third districts last week was not one of unalloyed pleasure. At the Peru meeting, enemies of the veteran tie-less John A. Jones, postmaster of Marion, and of the Wabash postmaster were present to voice their opinion that there is need for change. When Watson reached South Bend, applicants for postmasterships vacant soon in that city, Elkhart and La Porte were on hand to pay their devoirs to the senior senator. There seems to be little doubt that there will be a change in the Elkhart postoffice, while doubts are being cast concerning the steadfast Republicanism of John Hunter, South Bend incumbent. Hunter, usually a Republican, originally was appointed by President Wilson. He was renamed during the Harding and Coolidge administrations, and whether his long and admittedly efficient service will warrant retention is a moot question. tt tt tt What Watson dreads in particular is the fact that the terms of Loomis terminates In May, just before the state convention and on the eVe of the campaign. Under the lash of newspaper criticism, Loomis was forced to launch a vote and election probe in Lake county and to also do some indicting in connection with alleged liquor conspiracies. His vote investigation came to nanght, as was expected, but he did obtain the indictment and conviction on dry law violation charges of a mayor, a police chief and sundry smaller fry. The friends of these officials have not forgotten and they are brandishing the scalping knife. tt n tt Watson bears no particular love and admiration for Loomis, primarily because he is the appointee of Senator Arthur R. Robinson, having been secretary to the latter before getting the attorney post. Watson, of course, is shrinking from the whole problem of patronage—if changes are made, there are sure to be scores of disaffected and they will be out shrieking “doublecross” to the high heavens. It is not amiss, in connection with patronage talk, to quote the elder statesmen, who declare that “each appointment makes a thousand enemies and one ingrate.”

Akron will be accepted by the navy department and will sail Wednesday night to her future permanent home in Lakehursc, N. J., it was learned from reliable sources t'day. The world’s largesst airship finished her first endurance flight Sunday morning when she glided into dock after cruising forty-eight hours through middle western skies, skirting as far south as Cincinnati and Louisville, west to St. Louis and north to Chicago. Lieutenant-Commander Charles Charles E. Rosendahl, the skipper, and Rear Admiral George C. Day, chief of the navy board of inspection and survey, reported that every detail of the flight was highly satisfactory. Dr. Karl Arnstein, designer, was the first to disembark, likewise expressing satisfaction at the ship’s performance. The inspection board is expected to order that the Akron be approved and accepted art once. Although there was no announcement it was learned the approval would be furnished and the sky cruiser say farewell to her birthplace Wednesday night. Passes Over City The giant dirigible Akron passed over Indianapolis Saturday night shortly before 6 and brought hundreds to the streets to gaze at the ship on its return trip to Akron, O. The ship floated from the north and south sides of the city, turning to the east over the downtown section. Persons living in the vicinity of Sixteenth and Meridian streets said they could see in the cabins, but most of the spectators were rewarded only with the gray outline of the dirigible and the winking of its lights. Traffic was blocked in several parts of the city when motorists abandoned cars to get a glimpse of the dirigible. SHOALS PROPOSAL NEAR Hoover’s Joint Commission Will Draft Report Nov. 2.
