Phil Sion* Here is a caricature of Phil Stcng. whose novel of farm life, "State Fair, ’ is gay instead of stark, and entertaining instead of bleak. It is the May choice of the Liierary Guild, and is published by the Century Company, a * a BY WALTER D. HICKMAN CHRISTOPHER CO L U M B U S’ father was Mr. Columbus and his mother was Mrs. Columbus and there were four children. Christopher's sister "had a name once, but that was so long ago. no one can remember it.” All of this is according to Sadyebeth and Anson Lowitz, who have just written “The Cruise of Mr. Christopher Columbus.'' This corking good book for children of all ages is published by Ray Long and Richard R. Smith, Inc., and sells for $1.50. And Columbus as a boy probably was no different than lots of little boys of today who love to go to the ocean docks and hear sailors tell weird tales and take a look at their tattoos. And as the authors of this delightful book puts it, "He looked just like his two younger brothers only his hair would never stay combed. One lock always hung in his eyes.” Mr. Columbus was a weaver and “he worked all day at his loom making yards and yards of fine wool cloth. But. he had so many children to dress, he seldom had any cloth left over to sell." Mr. Columbus wanted his son to be a weaver but the son wanted to go to sea and when Christopher went to sea at the age of fourteen, "even the Columbus dog cried.” This story of Columbus is beautifully and humanly told and the seventy pictures, old wood cuts, help to make this book a sensation in Juvenile books. a a a The American Library Association has selected the fifty notable books of 1931. and the list includes only two fiction. They are "The Good Earth,” by Pearl S. Buck, and "Shadows on the Rock,” by Willa Cat her.

They are “Bright Skin,” by Julia Peterkin, and “A Fortune to Share,” by Vash Young. nun THAT Americans are reading and thinking about the economic situation is indicated by the demand for the reading list “For Thinking America." published by the American Library Association, and distributed by public libraries. So rapidly was this list exhausted that a second list has been prepared. These twenty-seven books have been chosen by thirty distinguished American social scientists to help leaders form intelligent opinions on present day vexing problems. The books have all been published since January. 1931, and are grouped togetther under such headings as "Facing the Future,” “Everybody's Concern.” "Simplifying the Money Question.” “Big Business and the Consumer."

This is one of the few cases in movie history when N the screen rights have been sold and production plans started within six weeks after publication of a book, and it it considered even more remarkable since before March 4 "Way of the Lancer" was completely unheralded and unknown.

PITTMAN URGES RUSSIAN TRADE BE CULTIVATED Nevada Senator Declares Door Should Be Opened to Aid U. S. Workers. BRITAIN GETS BUSINESS Germany Also Grabs Plum, Disregarding Dislike of Soviet Rule. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Script).-Howard Forelrn Editor WASHINGTON, Apnl 29—Senator Key Pittman of Nevada, ranking Democratic member of the foreign relations committee in the absence of Senator Swanson, believes now is the time to take up the question of opening the Russian market to products of American workers. “I would like to see the United States sign commercial treaties with Russia, China. South American countries, and Mexico,” he declared today. “We are looking for markets for our goods. So is Russia. Trade between the two countries would be mutually beneficial. “The question of recognition need not be discussed for the present. That would follow. We must draw the distinction between political and commercial treaties. But we must take some steps looking toward the resumption of foreign trade.” Britain Keeps Trade Despite the more than 8 to 1 advantage which Russia enjoys in her trade with England, it is observed here, the British government shows no inclination to break off trade relations with the Soviet Union. This is regarded as having been made perfectly clear by Walter Runciman, president of the Board of Trade, in his statement before the house of commons. When a member, according to dispatches from London, called attention to the vast difference between the volume of Russian imports into England and England's experts to Russia, Runciman admittted anew understanding eventually might have to be worked out with Moscow-, but, he added, “we are anxious to do nothing which would injure our own interests.” The British attitude, it is remarked on Capitol Hill, is greatly different from ours. For several years prior to 1931, America's trade with Russia approximately was 5 to 1 in favor of the United States—exactly the reverse of the case between England and Russia. Yet a bill is pending in congress which would wipe out that trade entirely. Germany Gets Business Germany's success in bidding for Russian trade, following cancellation of large orders to American concerns, a virtual embargo against Russian imports, and other unfavorable factors, are seen as behind the Runciman statement in commons. In the scramble, Britain, Germany, Belgium France and Austria took a leading part, but while all got some of the business, Germany annexed the lion's share. Orders placed in Germany during 1931, largely for machinery and equipment, amounted to $219,000,000. as compared with $135,000,000 in 1930. a gain of 62 per cent. Thase here acquainted with the facts assert that it was something more fhan a coincidence that American orders that same year fell off exactly 60 per cent. “During my stay in Russia,” declared Charles A. Gill, superintendent of motive power of the Baltimore Ohio railway. “I had the pleasure of recommending several million dollars’ worth of machine tools for use in railroad shops. “On the strength of my recommendations, a commission visited the United States with authority to purchase this machinery. But, due to the inability of American manufacturers to extend suitable credit, the business was transferred to Germany and other countries.” Credit Given Soviet In 1931. Germany made $75,000.000 worth of long-term credits available for purchases by the Soviet Union, these credits being guaranteed to a great extent by the government—which, It is said, used loans obtained in America for the purpose. Runciman’s house of commons statement is regarded here as being merely a shrewd, carefully timed move for British concerns a somewhat larger slice of Russian business now going to their rivals on the Rhine. Chairman J. Charles Llnthicum of the house foreign affairs committee, today joined house and senate leaders favoring closer relations between the United States and Russia. Linthirum Favors Action Linthicum said that he considers timely some gesture from this country toward Russia indicating to the Russian people that we wish to improve trade relations with them. He added that he is “open-minded" on the question of recognition. “Many people .criticise the Russian type of government.” said Linthicum. "But I believe that when our own independent democracy was established it also was severely criticised." Linthicum spoke favorably of the resolution introduced last week by Representative Sabath *Dem.. 111.), calling upon the President formally to recognize the Soviet government and resume normal trade relations with Russia.

Gloom Flees And Fleas Cavort Happily Again, With Stain Off Their Good Name.

BY H. ALLEN SMITH Cnited Pres* Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, April 29.—1 fa flea is capable of rejoicing, there was good reason to believe today that Professor William Heckler's sixty trained insects were hurling off the shackles of emotional restraint and jigging with unadulterated joy. “My good name,” said Professor Heckler, “and the good names of all my little petties here, have been cleared. The mantle of opprobrium has been cast off. They have given us our license.’ Such was the occasion for the special gala performance of Professor Heckler’s intrinsic flea cirrus, staged today, sans admission fee. The Forty-Second Street Association had complained to the license authorities that their street, which bisects the island of Manhattan at the waistline, is losing caste rapidly, with fleas, Jo-Jo, the headless boy, and hip-shaking Hilda from Honolulu. Over this protect, however, a license has been granted Professor Heckler and his flea circus, which already has played a six and onehalf year stand. a a a “XT would have been a montrous X shock.” said the prefessor, as Patty, the -Irish flea, hopped through a hoop. “It would have been hard, after these years, for us to move out, maybe to Coney Island. Come out here. Sandow.” Sandow came out of his box and strutted acros the green velvet. He hooked himself onto a tiny merry-go-round. Professor Heckler started a small music box to playing, and Sandow went to work. Then out came Corky, the football player, to kick a tiny ball around the table top. Prince Henry, no bigger than a flea, did his juggling act. and the Heckler' sextet, composed of Minnie, Florrie, Maisie, Effie, Gertie, and Susie, pranced onto the stage, clad in period costumes. The music box struck up a ragtime tune and the dancing fleas hopped and jiggled. CLOSED SEASON ON GAME FISH STARTS Begins Sunday and Continues Until June 15, Is Warning. Closed season on game fish in Indiana starts Sunday and continues until June 15. the fish and game division kulletin of the state conservation department pointed out today. Protected species include large and small-mouth black bass, yellow perch, pike or pickerel, silver bass, rock bass, red-eared sunflsh, pikeperch. crappie and blue-gills. Department officials directed attention to excellent food fishes which may be taken lawfully during the closed season. These include channel cat, buffalo, white perch and carp.

Joy and Grief Blend for 23 Years, but Israel's Optimism Never Dims

A snappy, energetic young man is regarding critically a painted sign on anew sevenstory building.

A little later, Harry Israel will step inside and smile a welcome as each lady who visits the opening receives as a souvenir a “handsome handpa mted china plaque.” That was the scene of the day when D.

ROLPH DODGES MOONEY QUERY ‘That Was Yesterday,’ Says Coast Governor. By Scriiiys-Hoirard Xcicpai>cr Alliance WASHINGTON, April 29—" The Mooney decision? That was yesterday.” Thus did California's cheerful, ruddy-faced Governor, James Rolph Jr., dispose of the question: “Why did he refuse an innocent man a pardon?” Rolph arrived here from Richmond, where he attended the annual conference of Governors. He appeared unperturbed over an attempted demonstration before his hotel by Mooney pardon crusaders, by criticism of eastern newspapers, by threats of boycotts against his state, by anything. He professed to be ignorant of the fact that labor forces in California are talking of trying to recall him. Rolph denied that he will run this fall for the United States senate. “I’m the proudest man alive to be Governor of California,” he declared. But he predicted the re-election of President Hoover, whose delegation he will head at Chicago in June. “We mustn’t change captains in the midst of a hurricane,” he said. "Besides President Hoover is the best informed man in the country.” PADLOCK SUIT IS FILED Rendezvous Grille in Irvington Target of Liquor Complaint.

BACKBONE? PLENTY Congress Keeps It in Its Purse

BY RAYMOND CLAPPER United Press Staff Corresnondent (Copyright. 1932. by United Press> WASHINGTON, April 29.—Evidence is at hand to disprove the frequent assertion that there is no backbone in congress. It depends entirely on what is at stake. In the matter of keeping wives and other relatives on the pay roll, the house, officially, as a body, and numerous senators and congressmen in particular, are standing firmly for their rights against the widespread clamor for economy. The house Thursday night, by a vote of 88 to 44, defeated an amendment to the general economy bill which would have prevented congressmen from employing any members of their families who do not actually perform the work for which they are listed on the congressional pay roll.

Representative Mouser (Rep., O.) offered the amendment. He referred to Thursday’s dispatch by this writer, revealing that Senator Joseph Robinson iDem., Ark.) among others, has three members of his family on the pay roll, including his mother-in-law, who gets $2,580, but does not work, and his brother-in-law, who receives $2,220 and looks after the senator s political interests at home.

a a a a a a IF any member of congress has dropped his wife, daughter or other relative from the congressional pay roll since the recent economy drive started he is keeping it a deep secret. There is, for instance. Representative Joseph L. Hooper (Rep., Mich.). His wife is on the pay roll at $2,500 a year as his secretary, equal to the average pay of two government clerks. She is seldom at the office. They live at the swanky Carlton hotel. Speaker John N. Garner was reported in an earlier dispatch as having his wife on the pay roll as his secretary. She is, as was stated then, an exceptionally industrious worker. It now is learned the Speaker also has on the pay roll his son, Tullly C. Garner, at $l,lOO a year.

Tully lives at Ucalde, Tex., Garner’s home, and in addition to managing his fathers ranch and other interests, handles a good deal of congressional business in the district. Representative Edward E. Eslick (Dem., Tenn.) has his wife on the pay roll at $3,200 a year. She was the guest of honor at a very clea a a

MANY members have various explanations. The customary one is either that the relative actually works or else that his or her salary is passed around to other clerks in the office who actually do the work. Another side of the story, heard frequently from those who work in congressional offices, is that some of the nonrelative employes have to turn back part of their salary as “campaign contributions.” There are, however, no records of such transactions, but this alleged practice continues to be gossiped about, with nothing tangible to cite in the way of proof.

the little lady at the radio loudspeaker, operates a delicatessen at 111 East Tv.enty-second street. A widow, Mrs. Lichtenstein has had two other great loves in her life —one the theater, which she now never enters, and the other, the radio, from which come to her far-off voices. nun IT was the angry, smoking voice of Kilauea which gave Mrs. Lichtenstein her platoonful of foster sons. The basso of this 15,000-foot Hawaiian giant was heard on the night of last Dec. 28, crooning, in Mrs. Lichtenstein’s living room, of subterrestrial mysteries. The lady at the loud speaker was fascinated. She wrote to the

Times again change, says Mr. Israel, who has achieved a few gray hairs, but has lost none of his optimism. He has not announced the new location, but will start preparations at once. This time the preparation takes the form of selling furniture quickly. “There will be a lot of very finely furnished homes in this city when sale is over,” he says. “We have had a lot of fun, a lot of trouble, gcod times and bad times in the past twen-ty-three years. ■We probably will have more fun, more good times and more trouble in the next few years. “The answer is to keep in step with the spirit of the new day. Yesterdays are fine to look back on. Tomorrows are better.”

The house also defeated an amendment by Representative Black j (Dem., N. Y.) to eliminate the franking privilege which gives congressmen free use of the mails. It did, however, reduce congressional travel allowances by 25 per cent, and the pay cut section of the bill will slash $825 from congressmen’s . SIO,OOO salaries.

station which had broadcast the volcanic rumblings, KGU, and thought no more of it, for Mrs. Lichtenstein, who has acknwoledgements of letters from such famous broadcasters as Von Hindenberg, Pope Pius, Heywood Broun and scores of others, hardly expected the volcano to sit down and write to thank her for believing he could croon with the best of them. But the letter of the Indianapolis woman was printed in the Honolulu Advertiser, where it was read by Stackhouse, a homesick Indiaman, private in the Eleventh signal company. Stackhouse wrote to Mrs. Lichtenstein a letter full of Indiana and not empty of the feelings of the boy who wrote it. Mrs. Lichtenstein replied and sent her correspondent a box of food. The platoon shared the windfall and expressed appreciation, some of them in letters. Another box went to the boys for Easter, and a third for Stackhouse’s birthday. The platoon is adopted. n m u MRS. LICHTENSTEIN thinks her Hawaiian soldier has wandered in far places too much, but she rejoices in a prediction that he has found himself and that he has been made a corporal. “I’ve written him that I am modern and that I have flown,” she said, and added with a smile: “That was to let him know that I am an old lady.” Only she is responsible for that statement. She is a very charming, wistful little lady, with theater programs forty-six years old. of plays in which she saw Mansfield. Irving, Ellen Terry, and her pet hero, Frederick Warde. Also among her treasures are hundreds of letters of gratitude from radio stars and public characters to whom she has written a word of appreciation. To her the radio is a magic carpet on which she sails anywhere at all. very adventurously and very gallantly.

PROHIBITION IS MAIN ISSUE IN STATE PRIMARY FIGHTS FOR BERTHS IN CONGRESS Rush of Wet Candidates Gives Cheer to Drys, Who Hope to Benefit by Split Strength. REAPPORTIONMENT ALSO IS FACTOR 93 Aspirants Are in Field in Twelve Districts;’ Bitter Battle Waged in Indianapolis Area. BY BEN STERN Prohibition will be the paramount issue in the twelve congressional primaries over Indiana Tuesday, in which nine-ty-three candidates seek nominations. All other questions seem to have faded into insignificance, according to reports from over the state and the way in which the “wet” candidates run may determine the stand of the parties in the platforms to be adopted at the June conventions.

'the anti-dry cause is weakened in many districts because there will be a multitude of wet candidates to divide the liberal vote against one pronounced dry. The Indiana Anti-Saloon League is counting heavily upon this and leaders privately have expressed satisfaction that their adherents will not be forced to divide their strength. Re apportionment Another Snag Another factor adding to complexity of the situation is that the 1931 general assembly, through its congressional reapportionment act, threw incumbent congressmen of the same party together in several districts and the result is bitter contests. But, as was pointed out before, the number of wet candidates is hurting the liberal cause, and Lake county, which now constitutes the First district, is a good example. Twenty have filed for congress there, with t£n in each party. Onlyone out of each of these large groups Is a dry, and the entire support of the Anti-Saloon League will be thrown to their aid. Miss Ora M. Riggs. Griffith publisher, is the Republican choice of the drys and the Rev. Fred B. Osborne, Gary minister, the Democratic selection. Although Lake county is overwhelmingly wet, they have excellent chances. If not for this, the Republican choice would lie among Roswell O. Johnson, stormy Gary mayor; Oscar Ahlgren of Whiting, several times member of the state legislature, and Oliver Starr of Gary-, former prosecutor. Factional differences are sharp and will count heavily. Four in Race Lead Four are leading in the fight for the Democratic nomination and the same internecine disturbances are beclouding the issue there also. Frank Martin of Hammond, county chairman and North township assessor; Ora L. Wildermuth, Gary attorney and Indiana university trustee; William T. Schulte, Hammond labor leader, and Walter E. Stanton of Gary. 1931 legislator, are in the fore, with most of the heat being turned on under Martin. Will R. Wood of Lafayette, Republican incumbent, slated by the drys, although he voted for the Beck-Linthicum wet resolution, and George R. Durgan. for eighteen years mayor of Lafayette, wet Democrat are doped to be nominees of their’parties. Wood has only one opponent. Claude Steel, Knox editor. who is dry; while Durgan has four. Hugh McMahan of Rochester is believed to be the only one of the group who will give Durgan a race. No Contest in Third There is no congressional contest in the Third. Both Samuel Pettengill, of South B?nd. Democratic incumbent, and Andrew J. Hickey, of LaPorte, Republican whom the former vanquished in 1930, are unopposed. Pettengill is a wet of record, while Hickey is a dry. In the Fourth the Republican battle is between the incumbent, David Hogg of Ft. Wayne, dry-, and Dr. Harry O. Jones, of Berne, a wet, brought into the field by Hogg's erstwhile supporters when he voted against the Beck-Linthi-cum resolution. This is a clear-cut fight on the Issue. Five of the seven Democratic aspirants in the Fourth are wet, one is noncommittal and one is dry. They are listed as follows: Wet, James L. Farley, Auburn manufacturer; Thurman Gottschalk, Berne state senator; Glenn A. Smiley, Fort Wayne attorney; Harvey W. Morley, Angola publisher, and Thomas Riddle. Ray farmer; dry, Alfred B. Farrar, of Geneva, former minister; noncommittal, James D. Adams, Columbia City publisher, and old Twelfth district chairman. The latter has the support of R. Earl Peters, state chairman. Picking a passible winner here is the toughest job of all. No Wet in Fight There is not a wet inning for the Republican nomination in the Fifth. All four candidates have been slated by the dry league and they are: J. Raymond Schulz. North Manchester, educator; Albert R. Hall, of Marion, incumbent, defeated in 1930; Charles L. Strey, Wabash, state senator, and Glenn R. Hillis. Kokomo, legionnaire. The fight is doped to be between Hall and Hillis. Glenn Griswold. Peru, Democratic incumbent and wet, is expected to win over his three opponents who are indorsed by the dry organization. They are: Samuel E. Cook, Huntington: Charles F. Howard, Windfall, and David F Maish, Frankfort. The Sixth finds Courtland C. Gillen. Democratic congressman who voted against the Beck-Linthicum resolution, opposed by Mrs. Virginia Jenckes of Terre Haute, farm opera.

for, and Robert Grieve of Rockville. Both Mrs. Jenckes and Grieve are wet and the woman is expected to make the strongest bid against Gillen. Purnell Is Candidate Fred S. Purnell, incumbent Republican. of the old Ninth, is opposed by Noble Johnson. Terre Haute, who lost to Gillen in 1930. The former gets the dry support. Another woman, Louise N. Denehie, of Terre Haute, has been entered as a wet to cut Johnson's support and is expected to run third. The Seventh finds Arthur H. Greenwood, Democratic dry congressman. unopposed for the nomination and three drys and one wet seeking the Republican honor. The drys are Ray S. Sisson, Decker; Dewilla Spannuth, Bloomington, and George W. Henley, Bloomington, slated by the league; and Theodore j, Lauden, Bloomington, wet. John W..Boehne Jr., of Evansville, Democratic wet incumbent, is unopposed; while French Clements. Blvansville state senator, and John Survant, of Velpen, are after the G. O. P. nomination. The Anti-Saloon League had poor pickings there. Not a dry is i n the race. Congressmen Thrown Together Harry Canfield. Batesville, and Eugene B. Crowe of Bedford, two congressmen thrown together by the gerrymander and listed as drys have Francis I. Galbraith of Sunman, running against them as a wet for the Democratic nomination in the Ninth. Canfield, a known conservative, is having a tough time defending his record. Chester A. Davis of Bedford was slated for the G. O. P. nomination by the league against Charles S. Hisey of Aurora. Through reapportionment, the new Tenth is without a sitting congressmen, and that made it a field dav for the boys. Nine went out for the Republican Olympics and three for the Democratic. The drys slated on the G. O. P. card are: Ephraim F. Bowen of Lynn, Elmer F. Bossert of Liberty, Stanley J. Moore of Richmond! Daniel R. Ellarbarger of Cambridge City, Ralph A. Ranck of Richmond, Carl W. Thompson of Richmond, and Albert E. Needham of Muncie. The only wet is Legionnaire Clifford F. Payne of Newcastle. The Democrats have three contestants. One-time Congressman Finly H. Gray of Connersville is attempting a comeback as a wet, with Clarence A. Jackson of Newcastle dividing that support, Daniel T. Maupln of Richmond is the only dry Democrat. Madhouse in Eleventh The Eleventh furnishes another madhouse, with the part of Marion county within it furnishing the balance of power. The Democratic contenders are; Dry, William H. Larrabee of New Palestine, the incumbent; wets, Willis S. Ellis of Anderson; Frank J. McCarthy of Indianapolis, and Frank E. Blackman of Indianapolis. The race is between the first three listed, with Ellis given slightly the edge. The Republican candidates in the Eleventh district are six in number, and are known as follows: Drys, Fred Dickexman, Indianapolia, former Klan state senator and George V. Coffin adherent; Dale Spencer, Greenfield editor, and Ernest A. Bennington of Anderson: wets, Frank Borns, Indianapo.hs, former Klan legislator: Frank Hurley, Indianapolis raiiroader, and Daniel Duggan. Indianapolis. Spencer is given the edge here. Organization Backs Ludlow In the Twelfth Indianapolis district, Louis Ludlow, Democratic incumbent, is listed as dry and is opposed by Thomas McGee, Indianapolis, wet. Ludlow will have the organization support. The Republicans are; Drys, Archibald M. Hall and William Henry Harriion; wets, Ira M. Holmes and Seth S. Ward. The race is expected to be close, with Holmes and Ward polling large Negro votes. The issue is clearly prohibition, as may be realized by studying the above list, and it is the first time since passage of the eighteenth amendment that so many candidates have become wets of record in Indiana. RIFLE GROCERY SAFE Yeggs Escape With $260 in Cash, and Supplies. Yeggs early today broke open a safe in a grocery at 805 North Alabama street, escaping with S2OO in cash and supplies of unestimated value, James W* Kennington, manager, told police. The yeggs scattered pennies and paper over the floor of the store and rifled shelves, Kennington said. Attempt of the same marauders to bore their way through the wall of an adjoining store failed.
