MELLON SHIFT LEAVES HOOVER STATUS STABLE •Davis’ Declaration on Wet Issue Expected to Sway Pennsylvania. By Set ipps-ll award X rwspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Feb. 6—Transfer of Andrew W. Mellon from Washington to London is not likely to help or hurt President Hoover's political fortunes in Pennsylvania, but the wringing wet prohibition decision of Senator Davis may mean trouble for the President in that state. The so-called Mellon organization gradually has been losing its grip in western Pennsylvania, while the Vare organization in Philadelphia has been gaining steadily. Secretary Mellon, much to his distaste, found himself a political boss, after the death of Senator Penrose. He had no flair for the Pennsylvania sort of politics and he delegated his nephew, W. L. Mellon, the former state chairman, but W. L. also was inept. Pinchot Stands-Aloof Last fall the Mellons suffered political reverses in the Allegheny county elections, and at the recent meeting of the state central committee the show was run by spokesmen for Vare. A few weeks ago W. L. Mellon issued a statement saying he was out of politics. Opposed to both Mellon and Vare groups is Governor Pinchot, who is expected to profit by the the confused situation. There is reason to believe that Senator Davis, heretofore a prohibition straddler, announced his support of a repeal amendment at the suggestion of Va-e.

By so doing, Davis hopes to prevent opposition from the Philadelphia organization, and to retain some of his strength in Pittsburgh and throughout the state. But Pinchot, whose friends now dominate Allegheny county, is expected to come in as a bone-dry senatorial candidate. Davis Stand Threatens Reed He may make additional trouble by seeking Pinchot-for-President delegates. He refused to accept membership on the organization’s slate of Hoover delegates to the Chicago convention. Vare, who will be a delegate-at-large, promises to go •'uninstructcd.” There is no likelihood, however, of a Vare and Pinchot combination. Mellon was slated to head the Pennsylvania Hoover delegation, and as his successor, a man of similar views, probably his nephew, will be chcsen. Senator David A. Reed, who will be a delegate-at-large, is expected to look after Hoover’s interests in Pennsylvania as he wduld have done, anyway, had Mellon been present. The Davis announcement carries bad news for Reed, particularly if it wins Vare’s support. Davis resides, officially, in Pittsburgh and he refuses to transfer his residence to Philadelphia to eliminate objection of both senators living in that city. If he is re-elected It Is regarded as certain that this will be one of the reasons advocated for Reed’s retirement when he seeks re-elec-tion in 1932. With the disintegration of the Mellon machine, Reed who never slaps backs or otherwise seeks favor, will find himself without un’fied support.

GRADUATESSN CHOSEN FIELD Nine-Tenths of Pharmacy Alumni Employed. By Timex Special LAFAYETTE, Ind., Feb. 6—That practically nine-tenths of the graduates of the school of pharmacy at Purdue university during the last I twelve years are in pharmacy or reI lated fields, was revealed in a sur- ! vey completed under the direction of Dean C. B. Jordan of the school. The actural figures show 88.6 per cent of the graduates of the old two or three-year courses were so employed and 88.2 per cent of those in the four-year course in the field for which they were trained. This percentage, considered remarkably high, includes 314 persons. “Our study showed 73.1 per cent of the graduates from the two or three-year course in the retail drug business,” said Dean Jordan. ‘‘lt also showed only 25.4 per cent of four-year graduates in the retail drug business, indicating that the ; four-year training enabled them to ! make a wider choice of vocations, ; which included teaching, research : work, laboratory technicians, physicians or in commercial work other than the retail business.” Under state laws, licensed pharmacists in Indiana must now attend college four years, and Purdue was one of the first to establish a four- | year course.

Job Dogs Him By United Press ROCK ISLAND, 111., Feb. 6. —Frank Brown, in this period of unemployment, has a job—and how he hates it. Back in 1927 he was elected city treasurer for two years, then discovered he had to post a bond in excess of his salary. When time came for re-elec-tion in 1929 he chose not to run. Every one else chose not to run, also. Automatically he continued in office. The 1931 filing time rolled around again Friday and again every one chose not to run so Brown must keep his job again.

DOMINANCE OF WHITES SEEN PERILED BY WAR If the white races again meet in a great war, it probably will mean the end of dominance of the white race, Professor Fred V. Chew of the Indiana university school of commerce and finance asserted in addressing members of the Indianapolis Real Estate Board in the Washington Thursday. Professor Chew recommends a change in eligibility requirements in the federal reserve rediscount system for, he says, present roquirements are “too secure.” “With the prosperity of a community linked with the prosperity of its banks, people must have more confidence in the banking structure,” said Professor Chew. 1925 GARNISHEE LAW INVALID, RYAN RULES Law providing for garnishee of property, including wages, to pay a court judgment, was held unconstitutional today by Superior Judge Russell Ryan. The court attacked the act of the 1925 legislature, declaring it provided means for defense against collection of judgment, but did not provide for receipt of notice that the assessment was to be made. Ryan’s ruling was made in the court fight of Roy Thurman, 204 West Maple road, to prevent the Saginaw City Loan and Investment Company from collecting a $1,378.79 judgment against him. The company had levied a garnishee on his wages without his knowledge, it was charged.

DESERT TRAPS FIVE Aviators Are Believed Dead in Sahara Wastes. By United Press ORAN, Algeria, Feb. 6.—Two more fliers have been swallowed in the sandblown, windswept wastes of the Sahara, where three French aviators already were believed led to their death by a mirage that offered false hope. The two latest victims reported down on the burning sands are Belgians, Gillious and Dubois, en route from Brussels to the Belgian Congo. They are believed lost somewhere near this desert outpost. The three French fliers, Robert Lenier, Jean Reginenski and Joseph Touge, have been missing five days. More than twenty-four hours ago word came via a small portable wireless operated by Lenoir, that the other two had started across the shifting sands to “some palm trees and water they saw in the distance.” Officials here feared they all had been led on to their certain death by a mirage, a magic picture of what the thirst-crazed wanted to see, drawn by the elements on the scorching horizon. The letter “Q” does not occur in the names of the states or their capitals.

KIDNAP VICTIM RESCUED; GIRL SUSPECT HELD Tucson Banker Is Found in Well as Officers Rout Gang of Abductors. By United Press TUCSON, Ariz., Feb. 6.—A 20-year-old girl was held today in connection with the kidnaping of Gordon Sawyer, prominent banker, imprisoned in a well for $60,000 ransom. In the desert foothills, posses sought two men who engaged officers in a pistol battle at the suburban home as they closed in to rescue Sawyer. With them as they fled officers saw a woman, and arrested the girl in Tucson after finding photographs in the house. She gave the name of ‘'Billie” Adkins and denied knowledge of the kidnaping. Sawyer, vice-president of the Southern Arizona bank, was recovering from a slight cold, the only ill effects of his adventure. Raid on Driver’s Tip The sharp eye of a truck driver frustrated the kidnapers’ daring scheme. He told police he had seen “anew automobile” parked behind a newly occupied house on the city’s outskirts. Officers investiated and met gunfire from the brush a short distance from the house. The police returned the fire, while two men and a woman fled to an automobile and escaped. Two machines pursued, while a third group of officers entered the house. They heard a faint shout and found Sawyer in the bottom of a nearby dry well. They convinced him of their identity, and nearly blinded from his long stay in the darkness, the banker climbed to safety. He said he had been held in the house for nearly twelve hours after his capture Thursday night, and forced into the well at gun point as the officers approached. Planes Joined Search He was captured as he drove into his garage Thursday night after working late at his bank. Ordering him to “keep quiet and come along; don’t whisper or we’ll blow your brains out,” two men confronted him with revolvers from the running board of his car. He was taken away in a small roadster, driven to the edge of the city, blindfolded, and cotton stuffed in his ears. Friday morning a special delivery letter demanded $60,000 ransom of Fred J. Stewart, president of the bank, “if you want to see your banker pal again.” Police swore in deputies, patrolled highways with a hundred automobiles, and sent eight airplanes over the desert. The kidnapers eluded pursuing automobiles after their hiding place was discovered. janitofT school urged House Smoke Board Proposes Instruction for Custodians. A school for janitors and custodians of apartment houses was proposed Thursday at a luncheon of the apartment house smoke board in the Chamber of Commerce building.

POSTAL SAVINGS KILLED Move to Raise Maximum on Deposits Sidetracked. By Scripps-Howard Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.—Opposition of bankers is blamed here for having killed the proposal to increase the maximum amount permitted in postal savings accounts. This was the belief today, after the house postoffice committee sustained its subcommittee is reporting adversely on two bills designed to increase the present maximum of $2,500 to $5,000, or SIO,OOO. Representative Sweeney (Dem., O.), author of one of the measures, said he was convinced it would be useless to endeaovr to override the committee action by getting signatures of 145 members for a special vote. “An increase in the limitations governing postal savings accounts would, in my opinion, bring out of hoarding millions of dollars now unavailable for circulation,” Sweeney said. But Representative Lamneck (Dem., O.), chairman of the subcommittee, which held hearings on the two bills, said the committee was convinced that passage of the legislation would cause further withdrawals of funds from banks.

WHAT IS THE VALUE OF HUMAN CONTACT?

The cost of telephoning is as little as it can be made. Its value can be infinite. If it is worth your while to save time, to be in touch with people at a distance, to do business quickly, to keep in touch with friends and family—if such.things have a value, the telephone holds limitless possibilities for you. It is the means of extending your personality. Unlike commodities, telephone calls ► cannot be made wholesale. Each one is a personal service. Each goes when and where you wish. At your request you have five thousand or five million dollars’ worth of property at your command, two or three people or perhaps a hundred attending the wires along which your voice travels. It is the work of the Bell System to do this well and cheaply. Its

ROME TIGHTENS WEDDING RITES DISPENSATIONS New Ruling Affects Union of Catholics With Protestants. By United Press VATICAN CITY, Feb. 6.—A tightening of the rules permitting dispensations for the marriage of a Catholic to a non-Catholic was ordered by the congregation of the hold office Friday in a circular to bishops and parish priests throughout the world. The order provides that dispensations shall not be granted for the marriage of Catholics to nonCatholics or non-Christians unless the prospective spouses comply with the condition that execution of the pledges under which the dispensation is granted shall not be impeded by anybody for any reason in their present or future residences. The pledges consist of promises to raise any offspring in the Catholic religion and not attempting to induce the Catholic party to the marriage to renounce his religion. The congregation's order was prompted by the fact that execution of the pledges is hindered or prohibted in some countries by civil laws or by Protestant pastors. The congregation ruled that the dispensation must be considered invalid if the conditions are not complied with.
