MARCH 7, 1932

ROOSEVELT AND AL SMITH FACE BALLOT TEST First Clash Comes Tuesday in New Hampshire Primaries. RY RAY TUCKER Time* Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, March 7. The 3732 presidential race gets of! to a dramatic start Tuesday in New Hampshire, where (governor Franklin D. Rcosevelt of New York and Alfred E. Smith will collide in a contest for delegates, while a slate pledged to President Hoover will run uncontested. Outcome of the Rooscvelt-Smith claih may have great bearing on the battle lor the Democratic presidential nomination, as it will be watched by politicians all over the country. It generally is conceded that a Roosevelt defeat will be a major blow to his candidacy, which has shown some signs of slowing up with the entry of Smith, Speaker John N. Garner of Texas and other potential nominees. On the other hand, it is not believed a victory for Smith will enhance his chance to be named, although it undoubtedly will increase his influence in shaping the platform and sitting in on the powwows which may pull a candidate out of the political hat. Smith Strong There New England is, more or less, regarded as Smith territory, as he carried both Massachusetts and Rhode Island in 1923, and showed strength in the other states. Dopestcrs have predicted that the race now is a fifty-fifty affair. Because of his appeal to wet and industrial centers, where the bulk of the Democrats in New Hampshire live, Smith is given a good chance to win. But Roosevelt has the support of the regular organization, his friends have done more groundwork, and lie may benefit from the suggestion that he is the strongest man the party can name. Should the Governor emerge as victor on this eastern battleground, he should regain some of the ground that has slipped from under his feet. New Hampshire may prove to be the political bellwether. A triumph for Roosevelt will send him into the North Dakota primary, which falls on March 15, as a marked favorite. In that state the New York executive meets one of his most formidable opponents in western territory. Governor William H. Murray of Oklahoma. Murray Has Chance Although a late starter, the picturesque “Alfalfa Bill” has been barnstorming that section of the country, and his homespun, Jacksonian qualities—to quote his eulogists—are said to be making a real appeal. Reports from the state give him a fairly good chance. Thus, within two weeks, Roosevelt must meet his most powerful eastern opponent in the east, and a dangerous foe in the western field, where the latter ought to show up well. Even if Roosevelt should lose both these matches, he will have opportunity to revitalize his campaign in the Georgia primary on March 23. Murray failed to file in time and Speaker Garner disavowed a volunteer, who sought to run as his proxy. Wisconsin and New York will hold their free-for-alls on April 5 and what happens in the home state of both Srr/li and Roosevelt may depend on the outcome in New Hampshire. After April 5 there will be a primary almost every week until May 20, when Oregon voters go to the polls, with Florida furnishing the finale to the Democratic contest:; on June 7. GEORGE S.

DEATH OF SOUSA IS MOURNED BY U. S.

'>.,^ f "j^^-

His martial music made millions of hearts heat, faster — John Philip Sousa, who died early Sunday, after leading a hand rehearsal.

Noted Band Leader Died as He Wished —in Harness After Rehearsal. By United Press WASHINGTON, March 7.—A sorrowing nation today paid tribute to a man whose martial music made millions of hearts beat faster and thrilled audiences from one end of America to the other. The body Pf John Philip Sousa lay in state in the city where he was born and where he made his start as a musician, to become the country’s most famed bandmaster. Mr. Sousa, aged 77, died early Sunday morning in Reading, Pa., where he had gone to lead a concert. The body was brought here Sunday night and burial will be Thursday in the Congressional cemetery. The band leader died as he wished —in the harness. He had led a Reading band through rehearsal just before he attended a banquet in his honor. A short time later he was stricken in his suite in the Hotel Abraham Lincoln and he died a half hour after a physician arrived. Mr. Sousa became a member of the United States marine corps band when he was only 13, his lather in this way thwarting the lad’s desire to run away to join a circus band. In a few years he was conducting theatrical and other orchestras and giving violin lessons. In 1877, when he was 23 years old, he joined the orchestra of Jacques Offenbach, and two years later returned to the marine band. He organized his own band in 1892 and directed it in the principal cities of the world. He composed more than 300 works, ever stressing the martial, patriotic theme. Among them were operas and musical comedies. During the war he served as a dollar-a-year man in charge of the bands at Great Lakes naval station. Sousa’s best known composition undoubtedly was his “Stars and Stripes Forever’’ march. Other of his notable works were “The High School Cadets,” “Semper Fidelis,” “The Washington Post,” “King Cotton,” “El Capitan,” "Liberty Bell,” “Manhattan Beach” and “The Thunderer.” Mr. Sousa was born Nov. 6, 1854 He is survived by the widow, Mrs.' Jane Sousa, and two daughters, Miss Jane Percilla Sousa and Mrs. Hamilton Abert. Only two weeks ago Mr. Sousa led the marine band at the George Washington bicentennial celebration at the capitol. His friends at that time said he was in failing health and subject to heart attacks.

PLEADS FOR UNITY IN TAX SLASH BATTLE State Association Ready to Act With Other Groups. Willingness of the Indiana Association for Tax Justice to enter into a general conference with other groups interested in tax relief, was announced today by Dr. James H. Greene of the Studebaker Corporation, South Bend, chairman of the association's executive committee. Reiterating the stand of the association that no solution of the tax problem can be made until there is a reduction in governmental expenses, Dr. Greene says: “To arouse the public to a clear and definite understanding of this basic principle, the association has devoted its entire energies for the last two weeks and. in this effort, already hqs enlisted the wholehearted co-operation of men and women in all walks of life in all parts of Indiana. The suggestion now comes that the time is approaching when all those vitally interested in the solution of the tax problem should bring united effort to bear on the question of the eventual distribution of the tax load. In this suggestion, the association heartily concurs.” Heywood ‘‘Sets ’Em on Fire” By United Press WASHINGTON, March 7.—Heywood Broun, New York commentator, delivered a fiery speech at the Jewish community center, advocating social revolution. It took firemen and a hose to put out the subsequent flames.

FORMED COP IS HELD AS BANDIT V. F. W. Head Identified by Bank Officials. Grover Griffith, South Bend commander of Veterans of Foreign Wars and former Hartford City policeman, was held in Robinson (111.) jail today after it is said he was identified as one of three bandits perpetrating a North Liberty (Ind.) bank holdup two months ago. This was revealed by E. L. Osborne, head of the state criminal bureau, who returned from the Illinois city today after identification of Griffith by officials of the North Liberty bank. Griffith and two other alleged gunmen were captured last week after robbing the Flat Rock (111.) bank. Griffith's alleged companions are Clifford Hazer, alias Tom Clark, recently liberated from San Quentin prison, and Guy St. Clair, alias James J. Stevens, prison companion of Hazer. Osborne said Clyde Marmon, a director and two employes of the North Liberty bank identified each of the trio as bandits who raided the institution Feb. 16, escaping with $2,000. The North Liberty institution, the Farmers and Merchants bank, today was sold to the Citizens National bank of South Bend.

FARMER WILL PLANT HIS 77TH CORN CROP Petersburg Soil Tiller Sets Record for World to Shoot At. By United Press PETERSBURG, Ind., March 7. Herman Fulscher, 92, owner of a 200-acre farm south of Petersburg, is a coi’n champion in his own right —but not through his prowess at shucking. Fulscher has broken ground for his seventy-seventh corn crop. This is claimed as a record number of plantings for any person in Indiana. Fulscher began his corn planting as a boy of 14, with a five-acre crop. He estimates that during the sev-enty-six years he has raised more than a half million bushels of corn and about 150.000 bushels of wheat. When Fulscher came to Indiana from his birthplace near Chillicothe, 0., he had a 1,000-acre farm near here. It was there, during 1890 to 1896, that he raised his largest crops, averaging about 20.000 bushels of corn and 12,000 bushels of wheat annually.
