HOOVER CRUISE MAY INFLUENCE BUDGET VIEWS Pageant Gives President New Impression of Navy’s Needs. BV PAUL R. MALLON United Press Stft Correspondent ABOARD U. S. S. ARKANSAS, Oct. 20.—President Hoover, returninß to Washington after a week-end aboard this battleship en route to the Yorktown cesquicentennial, brought back today anew impression of the navy which may have a bearing on the current budget dispute. Three nights at sea and his dual review of the destroyer and scouting fleets in York river Monday gave him an impressive knowledge of the navy viewpoint. He mingled continuously with high naval officers, including Secretary of Navy Adams, who joined the ship at Yorktown Monday night. While the budget may not have been discussed, all members of the President’s party were impressed by the great navy show. New Conference Certain Hoover, in effecting his economy program, ordered $61,000,000 slashed from the navy’s budget. Naval officers sought to lessen this figure, and the matter is being arbitrated by Budget Director Roop and a budget officer of the navy department. Undoubtedly the President’s week-end trip will result in further conferences between Hoover and Adams. It is possible the trip may make for better understanding between the White House and the department, bringing a satisfactory solution of a problem which appeared remote when the President left. The Arkansas cruised slowly up the Chesapeake Monday night in bright moonlight. Talkies were shown on the deck. • 60,000 See Pageant Hoover and 60,000 other spectators looked on Monday as the surrender of Lord Cornwallis to George Washington in 1781 was re-enacted at Yorktown. The scene inspired Hoover to urge the nation of today to emulate the sturdy colonists of revolutionary times and to have faith in the future of the country. “If we look back over these 150 years,” we see our nation making progress with every decade,” the President said. “No American can review this vast pageant of progress without confidence and faith, without courage, strength and resolution for the future^’ After Hoover spoke, he and Mrs. Hoover were given gold medals by Senator Swanson (Dem., Va.), and the President received the honorary degree of doctor of laws.

FASCINATED BY DEATH CHAIR: OMITS PRAYER Slayer Examines Electrodes and Smiles as He Pays for Crime. I’ll United Press BOSTON, Oct. 20.—Joseph Belanski, 38, stolid Polish farm-hand, was so interested in the mechanism ot the electric chair that he died early today for a double murder, forgetting to say his prayers. Witnesses assembled in the death house at state prison were astonished when the condemned man smiled pleasantly at them and then interestedly inspected the electrodes and other equipment of the lethal instrument. Belanski, doomed to death for murdering an elderly couple with a birch cudgel, was to have repeated prayers in the death room after the Rev. Ralph W. Farrell, prison chaplain, but he spoke not a word. Four heavy shocks were required to kill Belanski. The first was applied at 12:04. Six minutes later he was pronounced dead.

An acute heart attack Sunday night proved fatal to Dr. Matthew Small, 71, of 2440 Ashland avenue, Disciples of Christ church evangelist. Dr. Small had been a Disciples minister nearly half a century.

MOTORISTS GET EDGE City Inspectors Disclose Pumps Giving More Than Value. Autoists may be surprised to learn that they have been getting the best of the bargain at filling stations. At least inspectors’ reports disclose three out of five gasoline pumps in the city, which did not test properly, recently were giving customers more than good measure when tested by the city weights and measure department. The department made its annual inspection of 2,000 pumps during the summer. The heat probably expanded the gas causing the extra measure, according to inspectors. 105-Year-Old Ohioan Dead By United Press CLEVELAND, Oct. 20. —Patrick Vizzard, born in Ireland, a Republican, twice a voter for Abraham Lincoln and the oldest local supporter for Al Smith, died.

BY BEN STERN Differences between the mc-Nutt-Peters group and the South Bend-Mayr faction in the state Demcratic organization,are being spread to the counties, according to all indications. Porter county is the first unit in which the friction has taken the form of open warfare. Both the regulars and the insurgents will meet separately tonight to discuss campaign plans. As is usual, the Mayr group centers about the office of the automobile license distributing branch, with Claude Beldon, head of the bureau for that county and protege of Frank Mayr Jr., secretary of state, leading the insurgents. The regulars are operating under guidance of Ira C. Tilton, county chairman. According to present plans, the insurgents are to select State Representative Balthazar Hoffman as their leader and expect to establish their own headquarters in preparation for next year’s campaign. nan Although the remainder of the state may regard this merely as an outbreak of insurgency, which w'ill OHIO STATE OUSTER IS FLAYED BY EDUCATORS Dr. Miller’s Dismissal Injured School’s Prestige, Says Report. By United Press WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.—Dismissal of Professor Herbert A. Miller of Ohio State university by its board of trustees was criticised sharply today by the American Association of University Professors, which just completed an investigation of the incident. “The action of the board in dismissing Dr. Miller,” the association’s report said, “is concrete evidence of an attitude toward freedom of speech for its faculty which is directly opposed to sound public policy, to good educational practice, and to long-established university ideals. “Unless the board satisfactorily can clarify its position with respect to freedom of speech for the faculty both within and without the institution, Ohio State not soon will regain its former prestige as a university.” Professor Miller, a prominent sociologist, was dismissed last spring, the board’s chief complaint being that in 1930 he made a speech in India which the board interpreted as “helping to incite the Hindus to civil disobedience.” CAST IS CHOSEN FOR PLAY AT HIGH SCHOOL Technical Pupils to Present “Kiss for Cinderella” Dec. 4.

be smoothed over by primary time, it is of the utmost importance to Tilton, who expects to be a contender for the Democratic nomination for congress from the Second district. The rift really began last January, when Mayr, ignoring recommendation of the county chairman, Tilton, appointed Beldon to the license post, which is a real political plum. Operating under cover, the insurgents ignored John D. Stoner, county treasurer; Joseph Doyle, clerk-elect, and other officials and made their plans to seize the organization in the May primary. * a it a To keep the younger Democrats from going over to the new group, Tilton and his associates have leased a storeroom in which they expect to locate a club where the anti-insurgency and anti-Mayr propaganda will be indoctrinated. Not only Tilton, but other Democratic leaders, feel that they were slighted and ignored in appointments by the secretary of state and really are bitter in their opposition. There is no doubt, however, that the revolt has its inception in the internecine struggles of the two state factions. Each county chairman and organization controlled by Mayr and his friends means a vote, against the re-election of R. Earl Peters as state chairman next spring.

Perhaps many of you have seen the advertisement published gratis by magazines throughout the country and sponsored by Mr. Gifford’s and Mr. Young’s committees on relief. It shows a husky young man tightening up his belt and carries the caption: “I’ll see it through if you will.” On the eve of our own Community Fund campaign, the copy is of special import to all of us. Personifying the five or six million unemployed, the young man says: “Understand, we are not begging. We’d rather have a job than anything else you can give us. We’re not scared, either. If you think the good old U. S. A. is in a bad way more than temporarily, just try to figure out some other place you'd rather be. But, until times do loosen up, we’ve got to have a little help. The best way to help us is to give generously as you can to your local welfare and charity organizations, your community chest or your emergency relief committee if you have one. That's my story, the rest is up to you. I’ll see it through—if you will!” tt tt u A refreshing sight; a Quaker mother and her daughter garbed in somber black sunbonnet, gingham dress, shawl and cotton hose peering into downtown window's displaying the very latest in feminine finery. tt u tt Signs of the times; girls and w'omen pressed against windows watching with intense interest roll-your-own cigarette demonstrations. tt it Out of fourteen cars parked in one block we noted at least half a dozen with tires worn so smooth that they are a menace to the lives of the drivers.

PACIFIC NATIONS MEET TO SOLVE VEXINGRIDDLES Manchurian Situation and American Tariffs Most Grave on Program. BY H. R. EKINS United Press Staff Correspondent SHANGHAI, Oct. 20.—Fourth biennial conference of the Institute of Pacific Relations will open here Wednesday with a wide range of problems for discussion, including the Manchurian situation, depressed silver values, extra-territoriality, Filipino emigration, and American tariffs and colonies and dependencies in the Pacific basin. Japan and China agreed to send delegations despite their strained relations due to the Japanese occupation of Manchuria. Conference sessions will be held at the International Recreation Club located in Shanghai’s international settlement. Manchuria Grave Problem The extra-territorial privileges enjoyed by foreigners in China under strong protest from the national government at Nanking will come in for a thorough airing. It Is expected that the delegates will discuss the status of the Shanghai international settlement and the French concession at Shanghai. Os even more interest to the world at large is the Manchurian problem. For Manchuria, a rich realm owing chiefly lip-service to the Nanking government, has within its borders and on its frontiers elements which make for a highly complicated situation, involving as they do the conflicting interests of Soviet Russia, Japan and China. Many delegates have come from gold basis countries. During the last few days they have been given a clearer insight into one of the most pressing economic problems in China. Chinese Dollar Suffers The delegates have come to understand that a Chinese importer has to find at least four Chinese dollars with which to pay for every American dollar’s worth of goods he imports. They have been able to experience a feeling of comparative wealth when they have changed their foreign money into Chinese currency and to understand contrarywise the difficulties of those who live in China and have only silver to exchange for what is sold on a gold basis. Problems revolving about the ■world-wide economic depression, Filipino emigration, American tariffs and colonies and dependencies in the Pacific basin will be studied by the delegates assembling here. Liquor Law Violation Charged Lucille Fykes, 1108 South Westbrook avenue, and Mike McGuire, 1754 Howard street, were bound over to federal grand jury Monday by Fae W. Patrick, United States commissioner, on charges of violation of prohibition laws. Federal dry agents said they made purchases of liquor at each place and later raided them.

‘FOWL PLAY’ CASE IS BAFFLING COPS

Leg Next Time By United Press BATTLE CREEK, Mich., Oct. 20— Mary J. Evans, 6, was showing her playmates how she could stand in a rocking chair. The chair tipped over—her left arm was broken. When she came home from the hospital, she again gathered the playmates about. “I can do it now,” she shouted gleefully, as she climbed into the rocker. The chair toppled. Mary fell and today was back in the hospital again—this time with the right arm fractured.

ASSAILS JAPAN POLICY Seized Psychological Moment for China Move, Says Senator. Describing Japan as “ambitious and detested by the other nations in the Orient,” Senator Arthur R. Robinson told members of the Indiana University Club Monday that it has chosen the psychological moment to strike at China and acquire Manchuria. “The situation is fraught with the greatest danger. Japan has violated every pact and every treaty and every agreement in its invasion of Manchuria. Because of the economic condition of the rest of the world. Japan has a free rein today in its aggressions against prostrate China,” he said. SLOT MACHINES SEIZED Frank Phelan Arrested and Accused of Keeping Gaming Device. Charged with operating two slot machines in a downtown hotel poolroom. Frank Phelan, 28, of the Colonial hotel, was held by police today on a charge of keeping a gaming device.

67 Chickens Impounded at Headquarters: Disposal Is Puzzle. From the cackle of hens and flutter of feathers in the basement of police headquarters today rose an enormous question mark that baffled policemen and judges. There are sixty-seven chickens in the cramped quarters and due to improper care, many of them are losing weight and showing signs of feeling none too good. Paul Rochford, special municipal judge, ducked the question of disposal today when three persons were brought before him on vagrancy charges in connection with the egg layers. Police confiscated the large brood at 3604 Prospect street while probing an auto theft case. The owner of the chickens, thought to be stolen, fled in the car the police also believe was stolen. Mr. and Mrs. James Dailey and Florence Wainscott, occupants of the house, were held on vagrancy charges and their cases will be heard Friday. Rochford said he could use one or two of the fowls, but sixty-seven, well So the matter temporarily has been turned over to the humane department to find a more suitable roost for the chickens. Rumors are rampant at headquarters the fowls may find their future detoured into stew pans and soup caldrons at the city relief depot on East Maryland street. Anew sweater for hunters and fishermen contains several tubes filled with a buoyant material that will keep a wearer afloat in w r ater for several hours.

SHUBERT FIRM IN RECEIVERSHIP Theaters’ Liabilities Put at $17,000,000. By United Press NEW YORK. Oct. 20.—The Shubert Theaters Corporation, owner, lessee or operator or nearly seventy legitimate theaters throughout the country, went into the hands of receivers today. The complaint was brought by a Chicago firm to which the Shuberts owe $5,000. Federal Judge Francis G. Cassey appointed the Irving Trust Company and Lee Shubert as joint receivers. It was estimated compelte liabilities are $17,000,000. The Shuberts are said to have an investment of $20,000,000. William Klein, counsel for the Shuberts, attributed the corporation’s difficulties to the decreased theater attendance since the stock market crash of 1929. He said in the year ended June 30, 1930, the Shuberts lost $1,230,000, and the year ended last June, $1,670,000.
