EYES OF NATION ON CALIFORNIA WET-DRY CLASH Outcome Will Have Bearing on Fight for Plank in G. 0. P. Platform. fir firripp-nfr4 \nr*pnptr Allinnee WASHINGTON. April 29—The presidential primaries in California Tuesday will be vatrhed eagerly, not only from Albany and New York, but from the White House. While President Hoover s delegation will be unopposed, the Democratic prmaries have become a battleground for the wet and dry forces of the state. Hence the outcome will have a bearing upon the decision of hesitant Hoover drys to permit a referendum plank to be written into the Chicago platform in June. The recent revolt of the state's grape growers against prohibition is regarded as significant in this connection. Interest In this phase is shown by the fact that the state's Democratic registration nearly has doubled from 485,793 In 1928 to 847.482 this year. Although there are three Democratic tickets in the field, the real fight is between the Roosevelt faction. led by the wet national committeeman. Isador Dockweilcr of Los Angeles, and the wet bellwether, Justus Warden of San Francisco, and the Garner ticket, led by dry William Gibbs McAdoo and publicized bv the wet Hearst papers. An A1 Smith ticket has been showing little vitality, but it may gather enough wet votes to permit the Ms Adoo-Garner faction to win. Should the Roosevelt ticket win, W'ardell is expected to announce •for senator against Senator Samuel fihortndge. If the Garner ticket wins. McAdoo doubtless will be a candidate. Sensing the strong wet shift, Shortridge has announced he favors a referendum and has inclined his fear toward labor s 275 pgr cent beer program.His mysterious mentor here. Raymond Benjamin, is understood to be among the many urging Hoover to agree to a damp pUnk in the platform. Out of California's eleven house members, seven voted for the BeckLinthicum resolution. Senator Hiram Johnson, it is believed, will vote for a referendum when it comes up next month. ALTER STATEMENT ON TAX DATE EXTENSION Deadline Still May 9. but May 2 Is I'rgrd for Duplicates. Altering the original statement county treasurers office employes today asserted that although the deadline date for tax payment had been advanced to May 9, they were urging persons to get their duplicates not later than May 2. The original statement, issued by Timothy P. Sexton, county treasurer, had made the deadline date May 10 and had not mentioned the May 2 date. 'The first announcement published in the newspapers was unauthorized," declared one employe of the department, despite the fact it had come from Sexton. ‘The date for tax collections is not later than May 9. and not May 10 as published, and the public is being asked to get their duplicates not later than May 2,” he said.

WINDJAMMERS HOIST SAILS IN WHEAT TRADE Low Prices, Freights Give Them Chance to Compete With Faster Ships. By United Peril LONDON, April 29. Twenty-wind-jammers. members of a band

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

long doomed by the steam and steel of modern shipping, have been given a brief lease on life by the depression. For the last three months they have been in Australia loading wheat for England and the continent. Low grain prices and low freights have given them the chance to compete with speedier ships. Some vessels already have left on the hazardous voyage around the ; horn or the Cape of Good Hope. The trip "home" will take them anywhere from ninety to 130 days. Time matters little, though the ship making the fastest crossing will be I the figurative "winner" in this race of the has-beens, which offers no prize save the glory. On a four-months’ voyage. In fact, there is always the chance

that the price of wheat will rise, so most of the old sailing vessels will be content to plod. In these days, when every port in the world has its idle hulls, it is enough for a sailorman to get a good cargo without taking risks in a race. However prosaic this voyage of the twenty windjammers may be of itself, it is enough to recall the days of almost a century ago when trim clippers traded to Autsralia in remarkably fast time. The Marco Polo, for example, made the voyage to Melbourne in seventy-eight days in 1852. None cf the ships in the present grain fleet can hope to rival the achievement of the famous clipper?, but some of them can acquit themselves proudly, with reasonably good weather and wind.

HEFLIN LOSES FIGHT TO OUST SEN. BANKHEAD Republicans Join in 64-18 Vote Against Voiding Alabama Election. By United Peru WASHINGTON. April 29-John H. Bankhead, Alabama's junior sen-

ator. today occupied his scat unchallc —•* for the first time since the beginning of the session. The election contest brought against Bankhead by former Senator J. ' r homas Heflin Dem.. Ala.i, who orated before the senate for five hours, was ended by a 64-to-18 vote in which Democrats resented a solid front for Bankhead and only a minority of the Republicans voted for a declaration of no election. The sixty-four votes for Bankhead comprised forty -one Democrats. I twe r --two Republicans and one Farmer-Labor member. Heflin, still defiant, characterized th- —nate action as "a rank travesty on justice." "It is a triumph for crooked and corrupt practices employed in an election for a Raskob Democrat

against a real Democrat.” he said. “It is a surrender by the Democrats of the senate of the sacred principles so long loved and supported by Democrats In and out of the senate. It makes a sad decline in Demo--1 cratic leadership and control. "The failure to decide my contest on the law and facts will not in the least weaken my courage or impair rr;- fighting spirit for clean and honest politics and clean and honest government."
