ROOSEVELT AND SMITH BALLOT TESTIS NEAR New Hampshire Looms as First Battleground of Opponents. Th. flrt rr*l te*t of utrrnrth b.twffn foreoo fovorinr Fronklln D. Roooevlt nd Alfrfd E. Smith for th* Democratic providential nomination will come in primary content* In New England. The United Pro** present* herewith an impartial summary of the political situation of the Democratic party in those states today. (Copyright. 1832. by the United Press) BOSTON, Feb. 11.—Support of the New England Democrats seems divided between Franklin D. Roosevelt and Alfred E. Smith for the Democratic presidential nomination, with the first real test of their strength—the New Hampshire presidential primary due March 8. Two of the eight states Smith carried in 1928, Massachusetts and Rhode Island, seem inclined to continue their allegiance to him. Massachusetts Democrats, occupying both United States senatorial seats, as well as the gubernatorial chair, appear willing to go the limit to hang the brown derby on the White House hat rack. Virtually every Bay state Democratic leader is pro-Smith, including Senators David I. Walsh and Marcus A. Coolidge, Governor Joseph B. Ely and Chairman Frank J. Donahue of the Democratic state committee. The only notable dissenter is Boston’s popular mayor, James M. Curley. Ardent Smith boosters four years ago, Mayor Curley this year has climbed on to the Roosevelt band wagon close to the driver’s scat. “It seems to me,” Ely said, “that the best interests of the Democratic party nationally and in Massachusetts will be served by the election of those delegates who, though unpledged In a legal sense, have expressed a preference for the candi-

Grave Relief By United Press LOS ANGELES, Feb. 11 Joining those who have given many necessities to the victims of depression, a Los Angeles real estate dealer today did his bit by offering free graves. Four hundred burial plots were made available to families unable properly to inter their dead. County charities will administer the gifts. The community chest refused the offer on the ground it was trying to keep the community alive, not bury it.

dacy, the prncipies and the ideals of Alfred E. Smith.” In New Hampshire, Roosevelt sentiment predominates. Though New Hampshire has only eight votes, it sends a delegation of twelve to the national convention — eight dclegates-at-large having only half a vote each, and four district delegates having full votes. Rhode Island, which went to Smith by a slim margin in 1928, still appears strong for him. Patrick Henry Quinn, Democratic national committeeman from Rhode Island and previously a Smith supporter, however, has said that Smith can not be nominated, but, if nominated, can not be elected. While Quinn has declared himself for Roosevelt, other leaders such as Chairman J. Howard McGrath, of the state committee, and Mayor James E. Dunne of Providence, are for Smith. In Maine, Edward C. Moran Jr., Democratic candidate for Governor in the last two elections, said he "stood four square by Smith in 1928, and was standing in the same spot today.” Surface sentiment in Connecticut favors Smith, but this represents the attitude only of so-called “old guard” Democrats. The new Democratic organization, headed by 70-year-old Governor Wilbur L. Cross, is thought to prefer Roosevelt. Vermont’s Democratic state committee is reportedly almost solid for Roosevelt. Party leaders feel that Smith’s defeat in 1928 would minimize his chances in a second attempt.

GRIP EPIDEMIC DRAIN ON FUND FORTEACHERS Tax Board Reduced Budget to $10,000; Sum May Be Insufficient. An unexpected financial crisis confronted Indianapolis’ school board today as the epidemic of colds, which is sweeping the city, made further inroads. With 107 elementary and high school teachers absent Wednesday because of illness, the board today saw its substitute teacher fund for elementary schools dwindling rapidly. The elementary school substitute teacher fund was slashed $25,000 by state tax commissioners last year, and school officials now fear that the SIO,OOO fund available may be swept away by the epidemic. Substitute Fund Cut “The board,” said A. B. Good, business director, ‘‘asked for a $35,000 fund, and pointed out that unavoidable developments .might prove a severe handicap to the system. The budget, however, was sliced $25,000 and today it looks bad for that $10,000.” Twenty-three high school teachers and sixty grade school tutors were absent Monday, and on Tuesday the count moved up to thirtyone in the high schools and sixtyfour in the elementary schools. Wednesday, thirty-seven high school teachers were absent, and the gradg school list mounted to seventy. Good commented briefly on the report of field examiners to the state board of accounts on the Indianapolis school system. The report recommended a $500,000 working balance to escape the heavy penalties of short term borrowing. Favors Cash System This would entail a 7-cent tax levy for one year to create the $500,000 balance and the tax board,

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

supported by the Indiana Taxpayers’ Association, has fought large balances vigorously. “A $500,000 working balance would save the school board about $20,000 a year,” said Good. “What we’d like to have, of course, is a pay-as-you-go system, similar to Milwaukee. The system saves the taxpayers a large amount of money in the long run.” Tomato Growers Honored By Times Special LAFAYETTE. Ind., Feb. 11.— Winning members of the Indiana Ten-Ton Tomato Club were presented with gold watches at a meeting at Purdue university. Growers receiving watches were H. G. Koors, Tipton; Lennes Goad, Boonville; Claude McColgin, Greenwood, and Paul Sch ilenburg, Tipton.

LOVED TO EAT, AND NOW SHE CAN!

Much of the suffering from so-called “indigestion’' or acid-dyspepsia could be avoided if everyone could know

what thousands like Miss Lillian Ralston have learned. This New York City business woman, whb lives at 1160 Park Avenue, says: “I suffered from headaches and heartburn after meals; couldn’t sleep like I should; never felt right.

“For five years I experimented with medicines and treatments, until I learned about Pape’s Diapepsin. I have used three packages now; have gained five pounds, and feel fine.” If you, too, suffer from sourness, gas, belching, nausea, headaches, dizziness, or pain after eating—either regularly or just at times, get a box of Pape’s Diapepsin from your druggist. Then you need never worry again about what you eat. lilM
