HOOVER NAVAL POLICY ‘DUMB,' SAYUEAGUE 'Abysmal Ignorance’ Charge Flung at President for His Stand. By United press WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.—The controversy over President Hoover’s naval policies, economy in particular, was enlarged and enlivened today by charges from the Navy League, considered a “big navy’’ organization, that Mr. Hoover is endeavoring “at every turn to restrict, to reduce and to starve the United Steles navy.” La a lengthy pamphlet, the league traced the history of the President’s naval policies and asserted that he has “exhibited abysmal ignorance of why navies are maintained and of how they are used to accomplish their major mission.” The President has assailed the league indirectly in his heated criticism of those he believed were attempting to block his program for a $61,000,000 reduction in next year’s budget. Slam Hoover Suggestion Two days ago, in his navy day declaration, Mr. Hoover reiterated his plans for economy, although at the same time promising the navy will be maintained strong enough to protect the country from invasion. The “abysmal ignorance” charge referred to the President’s suggestion some time ago that food ships in wartime should be immunized. “Acceptance of his suggestion would have worked not only diametrically counter to the interests and weight of the United States in world affairs but, in effect, would have made for bigger and bloodier wars,” the pamphlet said. “And yet such is the psychology that it is not only controlling our internal naval policy, but dictating its external subordination to those of foreign naval powers.” Charges Agreement Secret The league charged that, before the London naval conference, Mr. Hoover and Prime Minister MacDonald of Great Britain concluded agreements “that officially never have been divulged in their entirety.” This the league said “suggests why the administration refused to allow even an executive session of the senate foreign relations committee to see the full record of its negotiaitons and possible commitments” preparatory to the conference. The pamphlet was signed by William H. Gardiner president of the civilian organization.

STAGE STARS MAKE GOOD IN FILMLAND Miss Helen Hayes, Lynn Fontanne, Alfred Lunt, Jimmy Durrant Invade the Sacred Precincts of the Movies. ONE of the most interesting developments of this talkie season is the success that Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer is having in transplanting stage actors into the uncertain realm of the talking screen. The close contact tnat Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer producing forces have with the general movie-going public, through the affiliated Loew theaters, may account for the almost uncanny success in picking the right stage stars and the right kind of pictures for them. The two most recent examples of this new trend in movie-making—-picking stage talent instead of promoting beautiful extra girls or somebody’s relative to stardom—are the cases of Helen Hayes and that notable

stage couplp, Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne. If signs mean anything, Helen Hayes is a genuine screen star right now, with just the one picture to her credit, “The Sin of Madelon Claudet.” In fact, it appears that the screen offers Helen Hayes more fame, fortune and artistic expression than the stage ever did. She may go back to the stage for a play now and then—but we gamble she’s to go down in theater history as a movie star, the girl who sprang to filmdom’s peak in “The Sin of Madelon Claudet,” to open Saturday, at Loew's Palace. Comparatively few movie fans knew about Helen Hayes a short time ago. They may remember her as the actress who broke her contract claiming that having a baby is an “act of God.” But few saw her in “Coquette,” “To the Ladies” or “What Every Woman Knows,” her stage triumphs. She seldom, if ever, left Broadway, New York. Now she’ll be known at every crossroads as a mistress of screen emotion and make-up. Within a short time, “The Guardsman,” now playing on Broadway at the so-called $2 scale, will introduce to movie fans that outstanding Theatre Guild couple, Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne. Making popular screen stars out of people like Helen Hayes. Lynn Fontanne, Alfred "Lunt, Lawrence Tibbett, Grace Moore and others is one of the encouraging things that is happening in movie-land. It seems a much more solid way to supply the screen than to seek the beauty markets alone for talent. And while calling the roll, let’s not omit that other great stage genius—Jimmy (Schnozzle) Durante! Plucked from vaudeville, Durante promises to be the comedyfind of the current screen season. He just about stole “Wallingford” frorp Bill Haines. Jimmy’s another nose-guy in the M-G-M lapel! And of course we might add Clark Gable, the quickly rising he-man star, who was a struggling but promising stage actor when M-G-M snapped a camera at him. a a a TOWN HALL SERIES TO OPEN FRIDAY MORNING At II o’clock Friday morning, the first lecture of The Town Hall Series will be given at English’s. Alfred Edward Wiggam, author and

publicist, will speak on “What Civilization Is Doing to Us.” On the following Friday morning, Nov. 6. Princess De Ling of China who will speak on “At the Manchu Court.” a a a Indianapolis theaters today offer: “Sob Sister” at the Apollo, “Sidewalks of New York” at the Palace, “24 Hours” at the Indiana, “Devotion” at the Circle, “The Big Gamble” at the Ohio, Singer’s Midgets at the Lyric, and burlesque at the Mutual. * . a a > MIDGETS TO ENTERTAIN CHILDREN A real treat that comes to real American children will be felt by the school children of Indianapolis, Friday afternoon, when a reception will be held on the stage of the Lyric theater for the children and their parents after the 4 o'clock performance. This will afford an opportunity for the children as well as the parents to meet the Singer’s Midgets and to chat with them. The Singer’s Midgets are now appearing on the Lyric stage in a complete show of their own staging features which last for sixty minutes. ILLNESS IS FATAL TO MRS. CARRIE L.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

LESLIE INSISTS ON OUSTIN6 OF HIGHWAY AIDS Wants Four More Retired Soon, Observers at Capitol Learn. Governor Harry G. Leslie is insisting that the four state highway department executives who remain on the job, out of the list of seven he slated for discharge, be retired soon, it was learned today. They are: Russell S. Bosart, assistant to A. H. Hinkle, maintenance chief; Peter Meisenhelder, chief chemist in the testing laboratory; A. H. Hastings, maintenance superintendent in the Greenfield district, and B. B. Lockeridge, also a district maintenance engineer. Governor to Get Way Members of the state highway commission are said to contemplate final action on discharge of these men at the ‘close of the construction season,’ which will be in the next few weeks. That the Governor will have his way in this matter was shown by the commission’s backing out of actual contracts for a fleet of trucks which the chief executive didn't want purchased at this time. Chief proponent of the Leslie viewpoint on the commission is Arthur Sapp, Huntington. Sapp and Ralph Simpson, assistant director, conferred with Leslie for some time Wednesday. Acted Under Orders Today Simpson said that the matter of firing the four was not discussed, but so far as he knows the Governor has not changed his mind about the original list slated to leave the service. The Governor did, however, declare that some things he objected to in the conduct of Hastings, he learned later were the result of Hastings acting under orders from higher-ups. This could mean either Hinkle or Director John J. Brown. Those who left on Oct. 1, on Leslie’s orders were Owen Boling, Brown assistant; Omar Manlove, garage superintendent, and his assistant, Russell Gardner.

PEACE DEMAND SEEN BY LAVAL IN ELECTIONS French Premier Expects No Interruption of Relations With Great Britain. BY RALPH HEINZEN United Press Staff Correspondent i Coovrieht 1931. bv United Press! ABOARD S. S. ILE DE FRANCE. Oct. 29.—A popular desire for sane | and pacific international relations ! was seen by Premier Pierre Laval in the conservative landslide in Brftain and in the defeat of Leon Blum, prominent Socialist, and other “left” candidates in the French cantohal elections. The premier expected, he said, the same close and friendly collaboration with the British national government as France received from the Labor administration. Laval, who started his foreign travels five months ago and has visited London Berlin New York and Washington, got as much rest as possible on his return voyage to France. It was his first opportunity for relaxation since he assumed the ; premiership last January. The He de France was scheduled to reach Le Havre Sunday, where a special train will take the premier and his party to Paris. Sunday and Monday are national holidays in France, the annual observance of

He will study American disarmament theories with the superior council of national defense. The French radical Socialist party, the largest bloc in the stormy chamber of deputies with 123 seats, holds its national congress in Paris Tuesday. Laval will meet Edouard Herriot and other radical Socialists in an effort to win the powerful support of that group for his program. Before parliament meets later in November, Laval must complete the government budget for 1932 and the Tardieu scheme for development of national resources to stave off unemployment, and prepare to answer interpolations on gold, disarmament, and a dozen varied subjects.
