'BRIDGE BEATS politics: says OHIO POLITICIAN Maurice Maschke, G. 0. P. Leader, Has Democratic * • Partner in Meet Here. A black sheep Democrat and a Republican boss—he shrinks at the word “boss’* like an April violet—usnig a home-town system are aeeklng the highest cups and trophies at the National Inter-Club Duplicate Bridge tournament in the Indianapolis Athletic club today. The “boss”—although he says that name Is a figment of newspaper Imagination—is Maurice Maschkc. attornel, and G. O. P. maestro of Cleveland. 0., and the lake front. His bridge partner, and as loyal to him in contract as he is in lauding his political ability, Is I. B. Free, attorney and self-admitted Democratic “black sheep.” Bridge ‘More Thrilling’ Maschke says he gets more thrills but of bridge than out of politics. “Eridge has more finesses. The grand slams are fewer in politics. When you lose a political contest, you’re through—in the minds of many. But in bridge you've got another contest ahead of you,” remarked Maschke smilingly, as if giving Cleveland Democrats fair warning that although he lost the last city election and might be < “through” in the minds of some in his own mind, anew deal is in order. l “He’s kept the county Republican for twenty years,” vouched Free, “and sometimes I wish he’d get his mind on something else besides politics when we're playing bridge together.” Rebukes in Politics Maschke took the rebuke like a tolerant contract player. “You get more of them, the rebukes, in politics than in bridge,” he added. “Is Jim Watson in town? He is! Well, I’ll have to see Jim ” “Shall I call him!” teased his bridge-partner. , “Not now,” retorted Maschke. The Maschke-Free combine, at bridge, plays a system of contract known as the Roland Club. It is a “homer” system of Cleveland origin, and they hope to upset the Lenz and Culbertson addicts in the ■ tourney that ends Saturday night. Ohio's continuance in the RepubP lican column in the presidential election, with the state giving a complimentary vote to Governor White at the Democratic conven- ' tion and then switching to Newton D. Baker, drew the only political comments from Maschke. He came to play bridge—not politics—and he’ll play bridge if politics lets him alone, until the tournament is over.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

‘YELLOW PRESS' IS ASSAILED BY G. 0. P. EDITOR State Association Hears Plea for ‘Cleaner, Better . Newspapers.’ An appeal for “cleaner and better newspapers” and a warning to members of the Indiana Republican Editorial Association not “to follow after the false goal set up by many of our metropolitan newspapers” was voiced by Samuel E. Boys, Plymouth publisher and president, in his annual message to the association this afternoon at the Columbia club. Approximately 100 editors and publishers had arrived in time for the noon luncheon and several hundred more and their wives are expected to attend the gridiron dinner tonight. Thurman Miller, Wilmington, 0., editor and humorist was the luncheon speaker, and J. A. Kautz of the Kokomo Tribune discussed "Radio and the Newspaper.” Alfred M. Hogston, state fire marshal, discussed means of reducing insurance rates. Patrick J. Hurley secretary cf war, will be the principal speaker at the love feast Saturday night at the Claypool. His address will open the Indiana Republican campaign. Hurley will fly here Saturday and will be met at noon by a reception committee headed by Governor Harry G. Leslie. Boys declared editors and publishers must combat the sinister influence of the “shyster press. It is destroying true American life,” he said. "It is creating false im-

A LUSTY, blue-clad 2-year-old, who traveled half around the world to meet his grandparents for the first time, gave them a quizzical glance on his arrival here Thursday and set out immediately on an enthusiastic exploration of Union station. He was David Ridgeway Geddes, son of Mr. and Mrs. Travis Geddes of Batavia, Java, who arrived home after three years in the

HOOVER RENEWS CAMPAIGN FOR RIGID ECONOMY Gives Each Cabinet Member ‘Yardstick’ to Use in Checking Cuts. Ry United Prrtn WASHINGTON. April B.—President Hoover today carried to the cabinet his fight for drastic economy in government. He presented each cabinet member at today's cabinet meeting with an “economy yardstock” on pasteboard. The government’s revenues were outlined on one side and expenditures on the other. A long red space at end of the revenue side, covering nearly a third of the stick was marked ‘•deficit.” Each member of the cabinet was asked to go over estimates for appropriations in his department and submit specific proposals for reduction of costs. The President, personally directing the battle for economy, desired to have detailed information to present at his meeting Saturday at the White House with members of the house special economy committee. He expected to confer with separate cabinet members later today. The “budget yardstick.” as the device handed the cabinet members by the President today is known, was made originally by F. X. A. Eble, customs commissioner. He used it to illustrate lectures. Eble gave one to Treasury Secretary Mills and another to Chairman Smoot of the senate finance committee.
