HOOVER HERE AT 4 P. M. TO GIVE MAJOR ADDRESS Thousands of Republicans Will Welcome Chief Executive and March in Colorful Parade. HOPE VISIT WILL SWING INDIANA Butler Fieldhouse Will Be Jammed for President’s Address, to Start at 7:30; Guest at Leslie Home. Herbert Clark Hoover, thirty-first President of the United States, will arrive in Indianapolis at 4 p. m. today. Mr. Hoover is coming l because his campaign managers believe that his presence and the magnitude of his office will fan to renewed life the moribund flame of Republican confidence and swing Indiana to his support. Many Hoosier leaders felt, however, that a speech in Chicago would do as well, and also would save the state campaign coffers the heavy drain entailed by a presidential visit. In spite of these objections, the orders were to the effect that Hoover would come to Indianapolis. So state managers acquiesced. The President’s arrival with Mrs. Hoover at Union station will be the signal for an enthusiastic outpouring of the

Republican host. A parade that will make up in showiness what it lacks in length will be staged. With Mrs. Hoover and the White House party, the President will go directly to the mansion of Governor and Mrs. Harry G. Leslie for rest and dinner before he delivers, at 7:30 at Butler fieldhouse, what promises to be an address of nation-wide significance. All sections of the parade have been warned to be in formation at .1:45 on South MeHdian street to swing into line as the presidential procession heads north on Meridian street. Moves Through Circle It will proceed through the east segment of Monument circle, to Sixteenth street, where it will disband to allow the White House party to proceed to the Leslie mansion under only the guard of a police escort and secret service men. In the first car in the parade will be President and Mrs. Hoover, Senator James E. Watson and Raymond S. Springer of Connersville, Republican nominee for Governop Passengers in the second car will will be a detail of secret service operatives. The third car will carry Lawrence Richey and Walter Newton, secretaries to the President;

EXPORT WHEAT AT ANY PRICE IN 'WAR’ Mountains of Grain in Granaries of America Await Shipment Abroad at ‘Bargain Counter’ Quotations. BY HARRISON SALISBURY United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO. Oct. 28.—Mountains of wheat and corn bulged in the granaries of America today ready for export at any price or to oe burned as fuel in many areas. Pribes bobbed unsteadily at the Chicago exchange, despite buying from countries anxious to buy their breadstuffs at the bargain counter quotations. The terrific competition of nations with 1,200,000.000 bushels of wheat to sell to consumers whose annual needs .are only 700,000.000 bushels was pric * close t 0 the exch!n r Be ß tod™ tCh ' d W ' akneSS “ Bht tr!u,inE 9t opening of the

Selling orders accumulated overnight, but were met with orders from buyers encouraged by strength in stocks and pews from Liverpool that little cash wheat was being offered. At the opening, wheat was *4 cent lower to Vi cent higher. Corn and oats each were % cent higher. When news came that the price at Winnipeg had dropped 'Vi cent a bushel, Chicago traders turned to the selling side and prices here dropped to \ to Vi cent under the previous close. Corn and rye also went down fractionally. Farmers Face Ruin The pressure of the huge grain surplus—fruit of post-war overproduction over a period of years—brought suffering and prospective bankruptcy to many farmers in the western grain belt of the United States and Canada. In rowa a bushel of old corn could be bought for lest, than a package of chewing gum. At the price of 4 cents a bushel, it was marketed—where there was a market—for $1.40 a ton. Coal sold in the same towns at $4 a ton and consequently huge quantities of corn are expected to be burned in winter stoves of farm homes. In the northwest states many farmers were unable to find any one who would even'bid on their wheat, despite prices so low they faced ruin. Upset by Pound Break - Causes underlying the present precipitate break in world wheat orices are explained as largely due to Canada's fierce desire to rid herself of an enormous surplus by selling wheat in the world market cheaper than any other nation. The Canadian government had pegged December wheat at 50 cents a bushel, a quotation which made this grain the cheapest that could be bought. The sudden tumble of the British pound, however, upset this plan. The Canadian dollar rose against the pound to a premium of about 25 per cent. In contrast the Argentine peso held at a discount of about 30 per cent and the Australian pound at a 20 per cent discount in England. Little Hope Is Held This 'fluctuation ' buoyed the pegged Canadian wheat prices too high to meet expected competition from the southern hemisphere crop. When this became apparent support of 50-cent wheat was withdrawn and the price was allowed to sink to export levels again. United States quotations dropped in sympathy with the Canadian fall and alsb due to a determination of exporters to put United States grain in the world market on a competitive price basis. Grain experts could hold little hope of materially better grain prices until by some means the enormis annuali carryover of crops has been eliminated. The surplus, they pointed out, was particularly depressing at a time when all nations are under severe economic strain and unable in many cases to find money to purchase even the normal requirements.
