Editor Timm^HERE Is good news for the farmer. He can buy anew Ford tudor 4-cylinder sedan for $535 and pay for it with 5,090 bushels of corn, or 1,337 bushels of wheat or seventysix hogs, averinging 200 pounds each, or a Chevrolet tudor coach for ♦596, and pay for it with 5,867 bushels of corn or 1.490 bushels of wheat or eighty-flve hogs averaging 200 pounds each. He can buy the cheapest Buick sedan for $1,117 and pay for it with 10,638 bushels of corn, or 2,792 bushels of wheat or 159 hogs averaging 200 pounds each, provided he will deliver his grain to the elevator or his *hogs to the market. A FRIEND OF THE FARMERS.. tt n a Editor Timm—--ICAN NOT let go unrebuked the sending of campaign literature to my address secured from a roll of 1 the Churches of Jesus Christ, by a man who uses the title of a minister of the gospel to secure a hearing he otherwise might be denied. I ask him: Whsrt is the department of good government of the Republican state committee? What other kinds of government have departments in ydur committee? Is it a department of good government, or is it a department of church publicity—a department designed to use the ministry of the church for the purpose of partisan propaganda? My spleen at this is not due to Democratic sympathies. I already have read the platform you enclose, and have listened attentively to the President of my country. But I live and labor for the Church of Christ. Four years ago I saw great sections of the church discredit it and weaken its influence by worldly and political machinations in favor of a party which since has ducked its tail and run from so great a moral issue as prohibition. By this craven action a great issue was surrendered without a stroke in its defense, and the American ”drys” betrayed. I am not one of those drys, but I believe in loyalty to something besides success. , If this is not an attempt to use f the church to pull Republican chestnuts out of the fire, why do you use the title “Reverend?” That title belongs to no man. Its use is to be tolerated only for the sake of the office of a man who gives his life to the teaching of the word of God. You have a right to work for the Republican party or any other. But you have no right to use the title of a divine office in the performance of a secular and partisan function. The return address was Indiana Republican state committee, Room 625, Claypool hotel, department of good government, the Rev. F. A. Hayward, director. The inclosure was the President's Des Moines speech and the Republican platform I H. GRADY DAVIS, Minister. u m Editor Times — I WOULD venture to say most wives are not doing interesting office w'ork because of the desire to develop and exercise latent powers or to participate in the struggle of today, as much as it is their desire for money and position. They know they can hire someone to do their housework on starvation wages. I know some men who have married state or city employes; each receiving a salary sufficient to supply a family, and both are exempt from income tax, while another family lives on charity. I don't doubt that part of the extra salary is used to help balance the family budget and the rest is taken out of circulation by being placed in a safe deposit box. If the wives were dismissed and the work given to some unemployed man with a family the money would be kept in circulation and the public would profit by it. I have heard of two or three companies in Indianapolis that will not hire a man who has a wife working or a wife who has a husband working. This is the only way to relieve , the unemployed situation, and the great need for charity. ARTHUR J. CALLAHAN. * * u Editor Times — WE farmers are wondering what has become of billions of dollars' increase in the value of farm products the Republicans were bragging about a short time ago- Also, we were told wheat would be a dollar a bushel by November. Since President Hoover spoke, in Des Moines, all principal farm commodities have decreased in price. It's a gloomy picture for the farmer, with new corn at 7 to 10 cents a bushel and lowest in 300 years. At Des Moines he set himself up as a superman and a prophet. He claimed that he kept us from going off the gold standard and that* would have meant chaos. Asa prophet he said that if -the Democrats were put into powder and passed laws they sponsored it would be our ruin. If he is such a great prophet, why couldn't he have foreseen the Wall street disaster? Why couldn’t he have seen that the HawleySmoot tariff would be disastrous to our foreign trade; or that the federal farm board law would aggravate farm commodity prices instead of raising them? It seems the proper thing to change horses before all of us sink, so give Roosevelt a chance to show his mettle. If he fails us as Hoover has, then we will try someone else. E. G. Sheridan. Ind.

BAR LAWYERS IN HIGH OFFICE, PLEA OF RABBI Stephen Wise Lashes Trend) of Politics in Fiery Kirshbaum Address. AUDITORIUM IS PACKED Al Smith Lauded: Tammany Hall of G. 0. P. Is Held Up to Scorn. “Bar lawyers as Presidents, Gov- ; ernors and mayors and we will have taken a long step toward purging politics,” Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, famed liberal leader, advocated, opening the Indianapolis Open Fo- i rum season Sunday night at Kirsh'baum Center before a packed auditorium of 1,500 persons. Scores were turned away from the Kirshbaum doors, and forum officials announced it was the largest crowd ever to turn out for an address in the seven years of the forum’s history. “Politics,” cried Dr. Wise, “needs men of courage, of vision, of idealism, and of honesty. I, for one, would make an amendment to the Constitution providing that in’the next 100 years no lawyer could serve as President, Governor of any state, or mayor of any -city. Gentlemen Are Needed “Politics ought not to be the byproduct of the law and of lawyers’ offices. But politics will not be a gentleman’s business until enough gentlemen enter the field. “Alfred E. Smith,”’ said Dr. Wise, “stands head and shoulders above either of the two major party candidates. He has courage, insight and an amazing grasp of the affairs of state. Al Smith is a leader of men, and he would be an even greater leader were he a Methodist or a Presbyterian, instead of a Roman Catholic. “Only five men in my generation,” asserted the famous rabbi, “stand out as worthy of the name of po- j litical leaders. They are William Jennings Bryan, Grover Cleveland, Woodrow Wilson, Robert La Follette Sr. and Theodore Roosevelt. Praises Hughes, Brandies “Only two others approach that category, and both today sit on the supreme court bench of the United states—Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes, and Associate Justics Louis D. Brandeis. “The real corruption of politics,” he asserted, “lies in municipal government. All the rotten, filthy dealings which have invaded our state and national politics come from the roots of municipal machinism.” Lashing out viciously at Tammany Hall and former Mayor James J. Walker, Dr. Wise told his listeners not to label Tammany Hall a product of the Democrats. "There are two Tammany Halls : in New York,” he said, “one—the real one—the Democratic Tammany Hall, which has the courage of its j depravity—and the other the Republican Tammany, which has N.e expediency of its cowardice. Os the two, the Republican machine is the more contemptible.” Hofstadter Is Lashed “Samuel Hofstadter,” he said, “has done to New York a vile and shameful thing. Named as the chairman of the New York state senatorial committee to investigate municipal corruption in New York, he has made a deal with Tammany even before the final report of his work has been published. * “His is a foul and filthy act and should he serve for a score of years I as a great justice, he shall never) wipe out that ignoble and terrible j deed.” “There are anywhere from 40.000 to 100.000 speakeasies in the city of New York,” he said. “That bespeaks an alliance of politicians, police and criminals. And that always is the alliance of corruption.” Never mentioning Senator James E. Watson of Indiana by name. Rabbi Wise taunted his Hoosier audience with fleeting references to political scandals surrounding Indiana politics. Cites Indiana Corruption “You may ask me.” he said, ’how I, a citizen of New York, may dare to come into Indiana—the home of political purity—to tell you my ideas of political leadership. Os course, you never have had any experience with vote returns coming in thirtysix and forty hours late.” * The auditorium rang with laughter as listeners recalled the Watson landslide from Lake county in the last election. Dr. Wise intimated that he will vote for Norman Thomas. Socialist nominee for President, although he did not say so bluntly. He said he is not in sympathy with the Socialist program, but he asserted that the Socialists are the only group with a definite policy. ARREST SUSPECTS IN CHILD DRINKING CASE Alleged Leggers Accused of Giving Beer to Young Girls. Charges of blind tiger and contributing to delinquency are faced today by a man and wife who were arrested Sunday after it is alleged they gave beer to two sisters, 11 and 15 years old. The couple held is Fred Hawkins and his wife Amelia, 905 Beecher street. Police who went to their home after complaint by the girls’ j father, did not find the sisters, but reported they found two youths, 16 and 19. drinking beer. The youths l were not arrested.

Cent-a-Disli Adventists’ Cafeteria for Indianapolis’ Needy Is Opened.

'T'HE fellow who felt like 3 cents on this rainy day, with no job, and had 3 cents in his pocket, walked out of the “penny-a-dish” cafeteria of the SeventhDay Adventist Welfare Society at 20 South Delaware street today feeling like a millionaire. For 3 cents one could get a bowl of soup cream of tomato bread and butter, and a cup of cocoa. But the menu to choose from offered the following wide variety at 1 cent a dish—peas and carrots, turnips, baked beans, lima beans, cottage cheese, salad, rice pudding, mashed potatoes, slaw, buttermilk, and milk. a tt tt DR. ROBERT S. FRIES, superintendent of the Indianapolis district of Seventh-day Adventist churches, said persons who could afford to pay restaurant prices for food, and merely came to get their lunch at a low price, w-ere not desired as patrons. “Those who make low wages, the unemployed, or any one worthy is welcome. Other persons who can afford to pay restaurant prices will not be turned away, but will be expected to pay the regular prices,” he said.„ He estimated that the cost of a 5-cent meal in the cafeteria would be approximately 8 or 9 cents to the management. ‘•We’re not attempting to make a profit, we merely want to Help the so-called forgotten man,” he said. tt tt a SERVICES of workers are donated and the cooks in the cafeteria are paid a small wage. Donations of food will be accepted. The cafeteria is operated on a vegetarian plan. Anyone, regardless of creed, is welcome. Books of twenty tickets, good each for five meals at the cafeteria, are being issued to business men who desire to aid panhandlers with a meal instead og giving them money.

By I'nitcd Press MONROE. Mich.. Oct. 31.—Six bandits invaded the First National bank here at noon today, obtained $35,000 in a holdup, then fled the city, wounding two policemen as they made their escape. The bandits eluded a hastily organized posse, and were believed heading toward Ohio. The six bandits, armed with revolvers and machine guns, entered the bank in a group. One stationed himself at the front of the lobby and trained his machine gun on the banking room. The others looted each of the six cashiers’ cages systematically, fore-

TRAIN WRECK PLOT HINTED HOOVERPERIL Sixty-Seven Spikes Found Removed From Track on President’s Route. TRAGEDY IS PREVENTED Forty-Foot Embankment at Spot in Ohio Where Crime • Is Committed. By United Press ATHENS, 0., Oct. 31.—Authorities today learned that sixty-seven spikes had been removed from rails on a high curve of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, over which President Hoover’s special train passed early Saturday. It was not known when the spikes were removed from the rails, whether before or after the President’s special passed. The spikes were pulled from a section of inside track on Allison’s crossing, about four miles west of Athens. Two miners found the spikes, which were hurled down a fortyfoot embankment on which the rails were elevated. The track curves at the crossing. Railway officials say angle irons apparently held the tracks together until today, preventing a serious wreck. Had the spikes been pulled from the outside track, the President’s special might have crashed down the embankment, it was said. Sheriff Wayne Wingett, Athens county, and railroad detectives sought a train rider, who was arrested at Chillicothe last week on suspicion. The rider was questioned and released. Isaac Van Dyke, miner, and a companion made the discovery of removal of the spikes at 4:40 p. m. Sunday. Twenty-six trains had crossed the rails since the President’s special passed eastward to Washington on its return from Indianapolis. LEARN ABOUT PEWTER f What do you know about pewter? Mrs. C. O.

Indiana weekly coal production has crossed the 300,000 ton mark for the first time since last spring, a United States mine bureau report showed today. For the w r eek ended Oct. 15, the output was 313,000 tons. It represented a gain of 51,000 tons over the previous week. Not since before 1931 contracts i expired last March 31, has the state’s coal production been so great. It has increased steadily however, sine* new contracts were signed Sept. 10. Contrary to the Indiana trend, national production fell off 88,000 tons, 1.1 per cent, for the week ended, Oct. 22. RAIN WILL CONTINUE Area to Pass Tuesday, Is Forecast; Mercury Tumbles, Then Rises.

Patrolman William Lynch and Charles Knuth rushed to the bank, arriving as the bandits fled to an automobile with their loot. The machine, a sedan, bore an Illinois license plate. Lynch and Knuth opened fire at the bandits. The shots were returned and Lynch was struck in the arm and head by bandit bullets. Knuth was cut when a bullet struck the plate glass window near him and scattered glass over the sidewalk.

MAINE HEARS ROOSEVELT; HOOVER TO NEW YORK

President Lashes Effort to ‘Violate Stability of Currency.’ With President Hoover, en route to New York, Oct. 31, President Herbert Hoover today charged his Democratic opponents of sponsoring "one of the most glaring attempts to violate the stability and sacred character” of the nation's currency since the Civil war. Addressing a crowd gathered near the Mount .Royal railroad station in Baltimore, Mr. Hoover returned sharply to the attack in his first speech of a day’s intensive campaigning through five seaboard industrial states. He will speak tonight in New York City. A crowd of 6,000 gathered on the slopes outside the Mt. Royal station in Baltimore to greet the President. He walked through the station to a platform erected outside, and was applauded enthusiastically. He said the Democratic house last session passed a measure which would have meant issuance of $2,300,000,000 of “greenback currency.” “The vice-presidential candidate in this campaign fathered this measure, and the Democratic candidate or any speaker in this campaign has not seen fit to disavow it.” Mr. Hoover quoted Daniel Webster as saying that “he who tampers with the currency robs labor of its bread, and "panders to greedy capital.” The President denounced Governor Roosevelt’s statement in Baltimore week that the Republican party had gained control of all branches of the government, including the supreme court. He declared the court is the “strongest bulwark of the permanence of our democracy” and added: “It surely would not be the will of the people of Maryland that the independence of this tribunal shall be undermined or brought into (Turn to Page Three) ORDERS COAL CO.

Democratic Victory Is Predicted by Nominee in Portland. By United Press CITY HALL AUDITORIUM, PORTLAND, Me., Oct. 31.—Governor Franklin D- Roosevelt, invading Maine in the final drive of his campaign for the presidency, today predicted that the Democratic triumph in the September state election would repeat in November, The Democratic presidential nominee spoke extemporaneously to a cheering audience of 5,000 persons. He addressed them as “my old friends and neighbors of Maine.” “I drove 135 miles today to thank the people of this state. I bear the message not on my part alone, but on the part of men and women of the party all over the nation,” he said. Recalling that he spent many summers of his life in Maine, the Governor added that “I have done more campaigning perhaps in Maine than in any other state with the exception of New York state, and not always with the most successful of results. I know that it will be different on the Bth of November.” Motoring to Portland, the Governor paused at Lawrence, Mass., to make a one-minute speech in which he expressed confidence that employment conditions would improve soon. Police estimated that 10,000 lined the streets of Lawrence when the Roosevelt motorcade arrived shortly before 9:30 a. m. Five minutes later the Governor's party was on its way to Haverhill.

15,000 SCREAM FOR BREAD IN ‘LOOP’ PARADE Red Flags Flame Warning From Ranks of Chicago Hunger Marchers. CHILDREN IN VANGUARD Inflammatory Banners in Throng Flaunt Slogan, ‘Fight, Don’t Starve. BY ROBERT T. LOUGHRAN United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Oct. 31. Through streets chilled by a steady drizzle, thousands of unemployed men and women moved through Chicago's loop today in a “hunger march.” By noon, when three contingents reached the loop from the south, west, and north, police estimated 15,000 persons were in the line of march. At 10:15 a. m., the first contingent of 2.500 started from Twentysecond street and Wentworth avenue, openly displaying red banners and Communist signs banned by the police. Other thousands gathered in the north and west parts of the city, forming in long lines of drabclothed men, women and children. At Union park, in the heart of the west side industrial district, 3,000 marchers shuffled in the rain. Red Is Predominant Red flags, red armbands and red umbrellas in the hands of women brightened the human parade and held omen of possible violence. Many of the women wore red hate. Children were in red dresses. There were ragged men with drawn faces, well-dressed men who parked their automobiles before joining the line, women in fur coats. Banners in red letters against white canvas proclaimed the grievances of the marchers. “We Pledge Solidarity With the London Hunger Marchers.” “On to Washington in a National Hunger March.” “We Want Bread, Not Bullets.” “ $80,000,000 for Dawes’ Bank; 8 Cents a Day for Workers.” Another contingent of 2,000 or more marched from Washington Park, north of the Loop—the familiar "bughouse square’ of the soap boxers. Ex-Service Men March With the west side group was a detachment of ex-service men carrying a banner reading; “Wilson’s heroes; Hoover’s hoboes.’’ An Italian group bore a huge painting of Mussolini. Under his picture was a skull and crossbones. A group of Negroes carried a life size painting of aNegro in an electric chair. lits caption was: “Scottsboro Electrocution.” Communist agitators passed up and down the lines. There were explosive shouts in a dozen tongues. More than 1,000 police stood ready for any emergency. Patrol wagons were parked near the assembly points and police stotsd every dozen feet or so along the immediate line of march. Children in Vanguard A platoon of children, 7 to 10 years old, carrying empty milk bottles, formed the vanguard of the north side marchers. They sang the Internationale and then “We'll Hang Mayor Cermak to a Sour Apple Tree When the Revolution Comes.” They varied one song by substituting President Hoover's name. At the singing, shouting armies moved toward the meeting place from north, west and south, their forces were constantly increased. The army from the west moved in on Randolph street, eight persons abreast, in a line sou. blocks long. It was estimated there were more than five thousaid in that group. Almost as many were in the contingent from the south side and about the same number in the group from Washington square. Scream in Unison At exactly noon the west side and south side contingents met at Randolph and Franklin streets, just outside the loop. The 10,000 persons, as if by prearranged plan, started shouting in unison: “We want work!” and “Don’t starve; fight!” The din was terrific. The Loop was almost deserted, shoppers and persons not working in the business area avoiding the march. The nunger army moved oast city hall, twenty-five abreast, screaming: “We want Mayor Cermak’s scalp.” There was no violence, however, and after detailing seventy-five of their number as a committee to pick a delegation to go in and see the mayor, the main body move® to Grant park. DECISION IS RESERVED Bishop Cannon Verdict Withheld by District Court of Appeals. By I'nitcd Prc* m WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.—The District of Columbia court of appeals today reserved decision on the effort of government prosecutors to reinstate an indictment charging Bishop James Cannon Jr., with violating the corrupt practices act. The indictment, charging that Cannon failed to report to congress a $63,000 contribution given to the Virginia anti-Smith Democrats in 1928 by E. C. Jameson, New York financier, had been held invalid by a lower court. Justices of the court appeals are expected to, make their decision within thirty days.
