DELAY IS URGED ON SUCCESSOR TO GREATHOUSE Formal Statement Issued by Peters; Six Seekijig Committeman Post. Delay in selecting a successor to the late Charles A. Greathouse as Democratic national committeeman, for which six men are being considered, Is suggested in a formal statement by R. Earl Peters, Democratic state chairman. Peters issued the statement when he learned various leaders of the faction opposed to his re-election, conferred Thursday at the Claypool. Information also had been received of the demand by Allen county Democrats that Lew Ellingham. Ft. Wayne publisher, be given the honor, and of a Terre Haute Tribune editorial championing the cause of Thomas D. Taggart. Three Are Publishers H Among the other names suggested to Peters, are those of John Day DePrez, Shelbyville editor; Dr. Carlton B. McCulloch of Indianapolis, twice nominee for Governor; William H. O’Brien of Lawrenceburg, and Lew O’Bannon, Corydon publisher. Peters’ statement counters the proposal that the state committee issue a call to elect a national committeeman in event that the chairman does not do so. Asserting that a reasonable time should expire following the death of Mr. Greathouse before the vacancy is filled, Peters added that Mrs. James R. Riggs, national committeewoman, is amply qualified to attend to the state’s business until a man is elected.' State Leaders Confer Among the Democratic leaders from over the state who held con- ! Terences here were Richard Wer- ; neke, Terre Haute, Taggart supporter; Edward Eisner, Seymour, | who is expected to seek Peters’ post; ! Stephen B. Fleming, old time .leader, championing Ellingham, and James Carpenter, head of the automobile license department and old Sixth district chairman. The Peters statement after setting out the circumstances of the vacancy and the names of those recommended for the post, declared: ‘'Years ago, the Democratic national committee adopted a rule making j provision for, but not requiring, election of a committeeman in event of a vacancy by death. Many Suggestions Made Varying suggestions have come to state headquarters as to the advisability of the state committee electing a successor to Mr. Greathouse or postponing the decision until next June when the delegates ; to the national convention would ! elect in a regular way. Opinions on this important matter are being solicited from representative Democrats throughout the state. When i these opinions are received they j will be transmitted to members of the state committee, who ultimately will make the decision as to the proper course to pursue.” Ants have been observed to set broken legs of injured companions in a kind of plaster.

HOOVER VIEWED VICTOR IN NAVY THRIff BATTLE Economies Effected Without Harm to Sea Force. Ho Says. By United Press WASHINGTON. Nov. 13.—President Hoover appeared today to have won his battle for extensive naval economies without impairing the efficiency of the naval establishment or substantially reducing new warship construction. In a formal statement, the President announced that congress would

i be asked for a $343,000,000 navy dej partment appropriation next year, a reduction of $17,000,000 from last year, and $59,000,000 under the amount-asked by the department. Mr. Hoover had demanded a cut of $61,000,000 from the original $401,000,000 which the department wanted for the fiscal year beginj ning next July 1. | Mr. Hoover's statement was interpreted generally as a further broadside against the Navy League and as supplementing last week’s report of the presidential commission exonerating the President of | “abysmal ignorance” of naval matters. > It came almost simultaneously ! with the return of William Howard Gardiner, president of the Navy League, to Washington to prepare his answer to the presidential refutation. Gardiner had expected to issue a

statement Saturday, but he has deferred his remarks until next Monday. The President emphasized that the navy budget slash would be effected without decommissioning a single fighting ship, reducing navy personnel “by one man,” or closing any navy yard. Certain minor economies, such as laying up the old frigate Constitution, also have been eliminated. The budget announcement further significantly asserted that the “tonnage of combatant ships ac--1 tually in construction by the United States today is nearly double that of Great Britain and in addition we are engaged in modernization of three battleships.” An expedition headed by the late Dr. Alfred Wegener found ice in the center of Greenland more than one and two-third miles thick.
