CONGRESS STIRRED BY SMITH’S FEDERAL RELIEF PLAN

APPEAL SEEN SPUR TO BILLS FOR U. S. AID Democratic Conservatives Are Cautious, However, in Their Comment. PROGRESSIVES REJOICE La Follette Lauds Former New York Governor in His Courage. By Ncrippt-Hown'd Setcspapcr Alliance WASHINGTON, 9.—Sentiment that sprung spontaneously, but in some instances cautiously, Friday night in favor of A1 Smith's plan for direct federal relief of unemployment was gathering strength in congress here today. Smith's program—a big bond issue to provide actual work on public buildings and highways—was offered, he declared, with a vehemence that stilled for a moment the app ause and cheers, to lift the oppression from people at home, so this nation mayyfurnish leadership for the world. II was evident today that Smith’s prof ram, which follows the La Follettr. bills and other similar plans discussed there, would meet opposition in conservative Democratic quarters in congress. It will not, of course, have the supi*ort of the administration, Prc: ident Hoover having spoken several times against direct federal relic f, and being cold toward a big federal bond issue for public works. Bankhead Cautious Bit to counteract this, it will have support of Progressives in congress. Senator La Follette ' Rep.. Wis.) declared, for instance: ‘ I am very gratified that former Governor Smith has had the courage to speak in support of legislation which provides federal assistance to cities, counties and states, and also that he advocates enactment of a measure for expansion of public works.” Comment like that of Representative William Bankhead <Dem.. Ala.), a c.’ose friend of Speaker Garner and a power in the house, who said the Smith program is ‘‘worthy of con: ideration,” indicated the caution with which the Smith plan was received by some. Considered as Smith’s answer to dry Democrats that the economic issues, must be put ahead of the prohibition issue, his program was ihe talk wherever congressmen met today In capitol corridors and cloakrooms. Senator Wagner tDem., N. Y.) praised Smith's plan highly. For months he has urged counter-de-flation by a big federal bond issue for public works. , Dill “Extremely Gratified'' Senator Dill tDem., Wash.) was “extremely gratified,” he declared, ••that Governor Smith has indorsed the relief principle for which I have contended for so long.” Senator Wheeler (Dem.. Mont.) was pleased equally. "I think,” he said, “that Governor Smith's attitude in regard to federal relief and public works is splendid. It justifies my contention all along that he wou'd have made a fine President.” That the plan would have the support of other Republican Progressives was indicated by the fact that Senator Norris (Rep.. Neb.) him ;clf proposed a large federal bond issue for a public works program to relieve unemployment. The same plan has been sponsored by many in the house, as well. Way Is rrrparcd If congress is inclined toward enactment of the Smith program or something similar, the way already is prepared. For the senate, at least, has conducted, through subcommittees. several hearings wherein the federal bond issue plan has been advanced, and facts on the suggestion readily are available to the lawmakers. Among other Democratic comments were these: Senator Pittman (Nev.)—l am thoroughly in accord with Governor Smith when he advocates an extensive public works program. It is the only constructive way of meeting the problem. Senator Costigan (Colo.)—I considered Governor Smith’s address forc’ful and helpful. 1 was impressed particularly with his advocacy of federal relief and public works program. Senator Black (Ala.)—l liked Governor Smith’s talk as it related to his federal public works program. Senator Hawes (Mo.)—A characteristic Smith speech, with much thought and constructive statesmanship in it."

UNEMPLOYED TO GET INDOOR POLO RECEIPTS Proceeds from the indoor polo match and horse show in the state fairground Coliseum tonight will be used for unemployment relief by Made Work Fund, Inc., sponsor of the event. More than fifty entries have been made in the horse show, to start at 8:15. Trophies will be given the winner of each class, and one of the features of the show will be a jump over an open automobile and a five and a half foot leap by Frank MacFarland, former circus rider, who now lives in Indianapolis. The'polo game, the first indoor match ever held in the city, will be between the Freebooters, of Rolling Ridge, and the Ft. Benjamin Harriscn team. One of Triplets Hurt , Timet Special ADAMS, Ind., Jan. 9.—John Campbell, 21. one of triplet sons of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Campbell, had a narrow escape from being scalped when he drove his automobile against the side of a freight train here. The scalp was cut almost around, but was stitched by surgeons, who expect him to recover. He is a patient in a Qreensburg hospital.

Ruby. Necklace May Be Boiled From Teakettle, Says Chemist

Indianapolis Teacher Is an Authority ori Rare Jewels*, Madame may have wished a ruby pendant or diamond cluster for her bridge party. Lying at hand on the kitchen range was the means of making rubies and diamonds fit for a queen, the old aluminum teakettle. So try this out on your teakettle. Bum it and crystallize the whitish ash from the kettle’s bottom. Diamonds and rubies will be obtained therefrom, not mined stones, but synthetic gems as good as those sold by the trade—providing you know how to do it. Fame Girdles Globe “But of course the point will be the crystallization process,” explains Frank B. Wade, 5241 College avenue, head of Shortridge high school’s chemistry department, and an expert on precious stones. Wade holds little hope that the kitchenette may become a diamond mine. Wade’s reputation has traveled around th globe. "A friend of mine came back from India: said he stopped in a gem dealer’s shop there and argued with the dealer regarding a stone. The dpalcr opened a volume called “Precious Stones,” to maintain his argument. My friend said to me, ‘Frank, I had to go half way around the world to find out you'd WTitten that book.’ ” Haunts Museums Wade's vacations and leisure moments are spent cutting stones , and observipg them through the microscope. Collections of precious I stones are his delight. “I’ve been chucked out of quite a few museums for staying past closing time, but at one museum they’ve been kind enough to chuck every one else out and lock me in when closing time comes,” he relates. No gems grace Wade's ring fingers. “I had a diamond but lost it from i the setting and never had another one mounted,” he sa* r s. Find Indiana Diamonds He says some fine diamonds have been found in Morgan and Brown county hills and that Indiana’s pearlers have uncovered some worthwhile gems in Wabash and White rivers. The opal, omen of bad luck, is one precious stone manufacturers have been unable to imitate. They may make sapphires, rubies, and diamonds, but when they bump up against the Australian opal they are forced to give nature the decision. Wade's gems lore makes his classes at Shortridge in demand. “But,” he says, sometimes I be- ! lieve they remember what I say j about stones longer than they do ! their chemistry problems.”

AL SMITH, DAWES JAR POLITICIANS

Both Seen as Candidates for Presidency in 1932 Race, (Continued from Page 1) dent's grip on the G. O. P. political machinery. It was predicted that Dawes’ willingness to cut loose would thaw out other frozen Republicans, notably Senator Hiram Johnson of California, and lead the President’s own senator to enter the California presidential primaries. It was asserted that it would give new force to the Progressives’ movement to block Hoover’s nomination within the party, or prevent his re-election by formation of a third party. Despite Dawe's labor and financial records, it is known he would be more acceptable to some western progressives than Hoover. His nationalistic tendencies, as well as his support of the McNary-Haugen bill, when he was Vice-President, almost reconcile one faction to his deep-dyed conservatism. It is believed generally he would be much more satisfactory to eastern financial and industrial influences than Hoover. Dawes said he wanted to become a private citizen again, and it is understood he does not desire to enter the Illinois presidential primaries. But everybody recognized that, if anti-Hoover men should capture certain delegations either at pri-

Recommendation that indigent advanced tuberculosis patients cared for at home was being studied by the city health board today. To adopt the plan submitted by Dr. Herman G. Morgan, board secretary, and Dr. Charles W. Myers, city' hospital superintendent, the board must raise $5,000. This plan was suggested because Sunnyside sanatorium always has a waiting list, the county infirmary is crowded, not properly equipped, and , the Flower Mission hospital was condemned two years ago by the i state fire marshal. The board recently was forced to decline offer of the Flower Mission Society of $60,000 to build a tuberculosis hospital on city hospital grounds because of lack of maintenance funds.

CULBERTSON IS BRIDGE VICTOR -WHAT OF IT? Lenz Down 8,980 Points: Broun Issues Poker „ Challenge. BY H. ALLEN SMITH Cnlted Prrss Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Jan. 9.—To bridge players in Indiana, or California, from coast to coast, let it be known finally that Ely Culbertson won from Sydney Lenz. Culbertson, playing Fmday night with his wife as partner, ended the far-famed Culbertson-Lemz contract bridge match 8.980 points ahead. That, good people, is the end of the battle of the century. Said Culbertson: “My system is unsurpassed.” Said Lenz: “I defy anybody to look at the ! cards and see how they have been going and to say that the system I employed by Ely Culbertson has I proved superior to the new official i system.” Broun Waves Red Flag That was about all that was said j when this epochal contest came to a close, after a solid month. As soon as the Messrs. Culbertson and Lenz dropped their last cards i on the table, a tremendous lot of people started gathering around to find how many aces, kings, honor tricks, sets, doubles, redoubles, psychic bids, honest bids and games were made. Heywood Broun for instance, says to Ely Culbertson, he says: “I got an idea. I challenge you to produce a team that will beat my team at a game of duplicate poker. Duplicate poker never has been played before, but I sat at home today and figured it out.” S. R. O. Sign Out Now! Let’s get down to this final session. Nothing since King Tut-Ank-Amen was laid away, ever could equal what happened. Lewis Copeland, a publisher, who says he gave Haldeman-Julius his start in life with his blue books, was in charge of the gate and he entertained more people than attended ! the Democratic national convention in 1924. The statistical hounds counted up the aces, the kings, the honor tricks and the house's cut. But they didn’t figure one thing, what the bridge match meant. Your correspondent gives you the ! important facts in the following paragraph: Recapitulation So far as* bidding systems are concerned—nothing. So far as bridge playing is concerned—Culbertson. So far as gentlemanliness is concerned—Lenz. So far as genius is concerned— Ely Culbertson. So far as fun is concerned—the press. But to sum it all up honestly, Ely Culbertson—who thought of it, who put it over, w!ho saw that it got over, is a great showman, maybe greater than the late P. T. Barnum. He promoted this bridge match, simply by pestering one of the most conservative men in bridge circles. He annoyed Sidney Lenz so persistently that his- challenge could not be overlooked. They played—and they played for | a month and it came out last night j that Culbertscsn was 8,980 points ! ahead. So that the ftig bridge match that | you have been reading all about, had they been playing for a tenth of a ; cent a point, would have cost Sidney Lenz $8.90. Terrific, isn’t it? ROBOTS OF2OOO A. D.

The home, being erected by the Indianapolis Home Builders’ Association as a forerunner of the Home Complete Exposition, April 2 to 10 at the state fairground, has reached the stage where the furnace is being placed, and the roof completed. The model home, which will be given away at the home show, is a laboratory for those - interested in building anew home, or developing an old one, and many persons are visiting it during the construction period, to obtain ideas. The house represents all the building industries of the city, and will be finished and furnished, and open to the public after Feb. 15.

DEMOCRATS TO OUTLINE PLANS j FOR CAMPAIGN Roosevelt Forces Oppose Tom Taggart for Secretaryship. BY RAYMOND CLAPPER t'nited Press Staff Corresoondent WASHINGTON. Jan. 9.—Keyed j up to a spirit of approaching victory, the Democratic national comI mittee met today to eselect a coni vention city, and prepare for the | presidential fight. Forces of Governor Franklin D. | Roosevelt were aggressive. They I went into the meeting determined to prevent the convention from going to Chicago, which they believe would be a hostile setting, i They favored Kansas City. San 1 Francisco also sought the convention, but was handicapped by the remote location. Roosevelt forces also exerted their hand in arranging for the election of Robert Jackson. New Hampshire national committeeman, to fill out. the unexpired term of the late Charles Greathouse of Indianapolis as committee secretarv. Smith Advocates Relief Though factional rivalry behind the various caniddates is keen. Democrats, seeing the coveted prize dangling more closely than at any ; time since 1916. are making heroic efforts to subdue their party temperament into harmony. Their hopes were given new momentum by the oratory at the Jackson day dinner Friday night. The party was challenged by its popular idol. Alfred E. Smith, to drop party lines entirely in dealing with the depression in a wartime patriotic spirit and to support a federal bond issue for unemployment relief. He assailed prohibition briefly as a costly, hopeless effort, and declared that by taxing liquor the country could gather in $1,000,000,000 a year in revenue. Must Face Prohibition I believe this is the time when we should forget party lines entirely,” Smith said. John W. Davis, presidential candidate in 1924, declared “the country is turning with open and manifest eagerness to the Democratic party as the only means of escaping from its present plight.” James M. Cox, candidate in 1920, declared the administration “has but two loyal allies left—privileged business and the Anti-Saloon League.” He warned that the way out of the depression may be long, Cox said that while the campaign will turn largely on economic issues, the party, if it attains power, I will have to deal with prohibition.
