Editor Timet — NOT being, to use the common expression, two-faced, I like to say things to one's face, so I sit down to tell the Star a fact or two, which they dare not print. The following is as near as I can remember it. Some years ago Woodrow Wilson remarked, “The man who discriminates against the Jew is America's worst enemy.” Our Constitution stands for freedom in religious and political beliefts. Now, some years ago, Henry Ford, expressed his unwarranted hatred for the Jew, and to top it off, he recently informed nis employes that he expected them to vote the Republican ticket. Since when has anyone been given that right? He has shown himself in his true colors, and, to my way of thinkig, is a rotten sport, both politically and religiously. Either he is a traitor to our country, or should be placed in care of a highly trained brain specialist. It may be a fine idea for him to get hold of Teddy’s big stick, and station himself at the polls. Id like very much for him to go to Ireland and tell his employes there to vote for an Englishman. Ford thinks so much of his country and the Republican party that It wasn't even worth his while to register for the coming election. What a man! DR. E. LESCH. man Editor Tittles—--ISUMBIT the following side slants on President Hoover’s character, one of which I saw myself and the other told to me by a close friend. At Rushville, w’hen the presidential train stopped there last week, a. group of boys sitting on a box car near the station shouted, as the President viewed the crowd: “Hi, Herbie! We’re for you, Herbie.” Although they could be heard easily, the President gave no sign of recognition. Governor Candidate Springer, standing by the President, waved to them to keep still. . When Mr. Hoover had boarded his train at the Union station here, after making his speech at the Butler fieldhouse, he sat down with friends and lighted a cigar. A porter entered the compartment with a tray bearing glasses of orange juice. _ , He did not notice the President, who sat back of him, and offered a glass first to a woman who sat in the compartment. She refused the first glass, motioning the porter to the President. Mr. Hoover saw her motion, and graciously took the first glass from the tray. Tire king always must be treated as king. OBSERVER. I• ’ ■ Editor Thin -, DOES the Republican party really think it can make any voter fear that manufacturers or “big business” will refuse to make all the monev they can. for even one month., by closing down, as spiteW’ork. it Hoover is defeated? If "turn about still is fair play,” •ahy should Democrats continue buying the products of firms which try to dictate how their employes Vote? President Hoover continually says *he vetoed some bill passed by the Democratic house. Does he think we don’t understand that, before he has a ohance to veto any bill, it must have also been passed by the Republican senate? Some “blind” folks say we are in mid-stream on a horse, but we are In mid-ocean on a ship, sinking for three years. If we don’t change captains we will surely sink, or have ‘•mutiny”—Bolshevism. Isn’t a laborer, farmer, or middleclass voter, who asks for four years more of Hoover abuse, a 1 hog for punishment? R. T. SHIELDS. n a a Editor Times — ALL the Democrats are nuts and think Hoover brought on the depression. We just are getting over the effects of the war that the Democrats caused. What can Hoover do when the Democrats pass the bills over his head and then blame Hoover? And if you want prosperity and happiness, vote for Mr. Herbert C. Hoover. G. R. m m m Editor Timet— I HAVE been a Republican all my life, but when I heard Hoover lell the people of this state Friday night to send Jim Watson back to the senate, knowing, as all the people of this state know, of Jim Watson* sugar deal, I can’t help wondering if Hoover was not embarrassed. especially after Watson said, when he came home to start his campaign, that he was not going tb carry Hoover on his back, that Watson thought that Hoover would be • liability to him? When Watson saw his political hide hanging on the fence, he and others kept the wires hot between Indianapolis and the White House and urged Hoover to be in Indianapolis on the same night that Mr. Fitichie was here. The S. O. S. was sent out several times, at last Hoover came. I So I can imagine that when Mr. Hoover got back to Washington he said, Well, that is that.” If I did not do myself any good. I did not help Jim Watson either, the big i double-crosser.” This time I am going to vote for Franklin D. Roosevelt. O. B. JOYFUL.

IIiSULL WEEPS AS HE IS PUT UNDERARREST Placed in Custody After Warrant Is Issued by Greek Court. MAGNATE BREAKS DOWN Athens Officials May Place Aged Utility Ruler in Hospital. By United Prcst ATHENS, Greece, Nov. 4 —Samuel Insull, fugitive Chicago utilities magnate, was arrested by the director of police today on a warrant issued by the president of the appeals court. Insull will be held for extradition to the United States, where he faces charges of embezzlement. The police director visited Insull at his hotel today and allowed him to eat and shave before taking him formally into custody. He then was escorted to police healquarters. Insull displayed great emotion Thursday night and this morning, weeping at the imminence of his arrest. A heart specialist visited him this morning, and suggested that he calm himself and avoid emotional stress. Insull in 111 Health Insull was returned to the hotel, and it was announced he would be detained there a few hours until the state’s attorney decided whether to allow him to be taken to a hospital, in view of his advanced age and poor physical condition. Two doctors who examined Insull said he was suffering from diabetes, weakness of the heart and blood pressure. Insull was escorted by two policemen to the state attorney's office to see whether the attorney’s doctor agreed with the diagnosis. The attorney was absent, however, and Insull returned to his hotel here, where he remained under arrest. Court to Decide Issue If the official doctors agree with the diagnosis, the attorney will ask that Insull be placed in a hospital. Insull’s arrest is effective for only two months, unless a warrant for his arrest or other documents by w'hich he can be detained longer arrive from the United States. Under Greek law, the appeals court will have to decide whether the extradition treaty can be applied retroactively to Insull, who arrived in Greece before the exchange of ratifications between Athens and Washington. Some legal experts held that, as the treaty does not specify that it applies only to those who arrived in Greek territory after the exchange or ratifications, it can be applied to Insull.

University Youth, Blind 14 Years, Regains Sight; Awed by Color.

By t nited Prrtt SEATTLE, Wash,, Nov. 4.—A new world that awed him by its ever-changing colors has been opened to Don Donaldson. 21-year-old University of Washington student, following a sixth operation that restored his sight after fourteen years of blindness. The over-joyed youth received his greatest thrill from watching his first football game. “I got* so excited' at its color and the great spectacle of it all, especially the student rooting section, that I guess people around me must have thought I was crazy,” he said. "Motion pictures seem like things of magic. I want to learn to drive an automobile. Then I want to go up in an airplane. “Say, I was able to see a plane the other day, until I couldn't see it any more.” Young Donaldson was blinded when 7 years old by an explosion of dynamite caps. Donaldson is a graduate of the state school for the blind. He financed his first, two years through the University of Washington selling brooms. R. P.C.

Roosevelt Plurality of 6,000,000 Votes Predicted by Final Count in Digest Poll

<PoH bv State*. Pace Elerea) BY WALKER STONE, Time* Staff Writer. WASHINGTON, Nov. 4. —Governor Roosevelt will win by a plurality of more than 6,000.000 popular votes if the Literary Digest’s presidential poll is as accurate as it was in 1928, and if the total vote next Tuesday is as large as it was four years ago. The final count of the Literary Digest’s straw ballots for President indicate a 3-to-2 popular victory for the Democrats, with the 474 electoral votes of forty-one states in the Roosevelt column and fifty-seven electoral votes of seven states in President Hoover's column. It is a prophecy of a ‘ Roosevelt landslide” greater than the ‘ Hoover landslide” of 1928. Hoover’s popular plurality was in excess of 6.000,000, and he won 444 electoral votes to eighty-seven for

HOOVER URGES LOYALTY’ LIKE IN CIVIL WAR ! Calls on Nation, as Did Lincoln, to Support ReElection Plea. GARY ROARS GREETING 50,000 Cheer President in Brief Stop at Northern Indiana City.

BY HENRY F. MISSELWITZ tuspuddsajjop jjejs ssajj ABOARD PRESIDENT HOOVER’S TRAIN, Nov. 4.—President Herbert Hoover today called upon the nation, as Abraham Lincoln did during the Civil war, to support his plea for re-ectlon. While his train stijl sped across the Illinois prairies, which Lincoln knew so well, Mri Hoover made public the text of the speech he is delivering this afternoon at Sprinfield, where the Civil war President is buried. The President's Springfield address practically compared the plight of the Union during the Civil war with the condition of the country today. He said the nation had rallied to Lincoln when the tide turned —and asked the voters to rally to his support at the polls in like manner next Tuesday. A vociferous crowd of 50,000 persons, the largest of President Hoover's present swing into the midlands, rushed his train when it pulled into the bustling industrial city of Gary. Ind., earlier today. Gateway Plaza Is Packed So insistent and continuous were the cheers that the President’s remarks on the tariff and farm relief were drowned out except for those standing next to him on the elevated railway platform from which he spoke at Gary. A flying wedge of police, troops and secret service men was necessary to force a way for the Presi- ; dent and Mrs. Hoover from the train steps to the edge of the platform. Below. Gateway plaza was packed to capacity. -It seemed there were two square blocks full of people. President Hoover reviewed the stand he took on the tariff and farm problems in his speech at Des Moines, la., but the crowd elected to cheer every few words rather than listen. Both Mr. Hoover and Mrs. Hoover seemed in fine spirits, as they have been since leaving Washington on this trip. The train paused at Gary seventeen minutes, from 9 until 9:17 a. m. It pulled out to billows of cheers and the blare of a big band. Watson Greets President Senator James E. Watson of Indiana led a delegation of Republican leaders who greeted the President at Gary. A number of Illinois leaders got on the train. They included Frank L. Smith, Illinois national committeeman; Franklin J. Stransky, chairman of the Republican state central committee; State Senator Richard J. Barr; General William Nathan McChesney, chairman of the national Hoover-Curtis organization, and Mr. and Mrs. Silas H. Strawn of Chicago. Another irrepressible crowd, numbering some 3,000 surged around the train when it stopped at Gresham junction, on the outskirts of Chicago at 9:45 a. m. In carrying forward his Civil war analogy, Mr. Hoover's Springfield address said: , “The turn in the tide of the Civil (Turn to Page Ten)

Alfred E. Smith. The seven Hoover states in the Digest poll are Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut and New Jersey. Analyzing the straw ballot returns, the Digest, in its issue of this week, concedes that Roosevelt possibly may win five of the seven Hoover states New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut and New Jersey. A substantial number of Democrats in those five states, particularly in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, the Digest says, failed to return their ballots. The poll for Massachusetts gives 60.712 to Hoover and 34,659 to Roosevelt, and for Rhode Island, 8,856 for Hoover and 7,046 for Roosevelt. The Digest poll in 1928 listed both

ROAD PAY SET AT3SCENTS New Schedule Makes $10.50 a Week Top Wage. Thirty-five, instead of 40 cents an hour, has been set by the state highway .commission for common labor on construction projects to be financed by federal aid, it was announced today by Ralph Simpson, assistant, state highway, director. Previously the 40-cent figure had been announced, but Simpson said the commissioners decided on 35 cents for common labor and 45 cents as the minimum for skilled labor on the first projects to be advertised,' Nov. 22. Originally, a 30-cent minimum had been planned, he said, but it was learned that on the federal aid projects work must be limited to thirty hours a week for each workman. So the sum was increased. At 35 cents, the laborer will be able to earn btu $10.50 a week. The thirty-hour limitation was put into the law as part of President Hoover’s'plan for “staggering employment” to give more unemployed laborers jobs. CHANCELLOR NAMED Father Hamill Is Successor to Mgr. Gavisk. The Rev. Joseph E. Mamill, who has served as assistant chancellor of the Indianapolis Catholic . diocese for eight years, today was named chancellor, succeeding the late Monsignor Francis H. Gavisk, who died two weeks ago. The appointment was announced by the Most Rev. Joseph Chartrand, bishop of the Indianapolis diocese. Father Hamill’s appointment is effective immediately. Father Hamill is the son of Mrs. Ella Hamill, 1705 Olive street. He is a native of Indianapolis, born here in January, 1886. Since his appointment as vice- j chancellor. Father Hamill has resided at the bishop’s house. He will continue to reside there. The Chancery is at St. John's Catholic church rectory. , ATTACK TRUCK SERVICE Steam and Electric Roads Petition for State Rehearing. Steam and electric railroads today filed a petition with the public service commission for rehearing on operation of the Wabash Valley Motor Express which operates a truck line to Indianapolis from South Bend. The rehearing plea is based on allegations that the competion is unfair. The petition was signed by the New York Central and Wabash railroads, and the Electric Rail Carriers.

those states in the Hoover column by still larger majorities, yet both were carried by Smith. The total Digest vote gives 1,715,789 to Roosevelt, 1.150,398 to Hoover, and 148,079 to Norman Thomas, Socialist candidate. Indiana cast a total of 53.465 votes,'Roosevelt receiving 27.349 and Hoover. 18.801. T If the vote Tuesday reaches 36.000.000, as it did in 1928, Roosevelt should receive approximately 20,500,000, Hoover, 13,800,000, and Thomas 1,800,000. The final Digest count will prove disheartening to Republicans who have been hoping for and talking about a “trend toward Hoover.” * The final count gives Hoover 37.53 per cent of the total, as contrasted to 37.33 per cent last week, and 37.19 the week before —a trend obviously too slight to cut noticeably

• Entered as Second Class Matter at 'Postoffice. Indianapolis

By HE A Service /CHICAGO, Nov. 4.—ls you have aspirations to become the pilot of a coast to coast passenger transport airplane, you would better put yourself through ten physical tests before you apply for the job. An interesting series of experiments is being conducted for pilots on United Air Lines before they are qualified for their jobs. Dr. E. H. Padden, flight surgeon in charge of the tests, explains them. “Try standing on one foot with the other bent backwards at right angles from the knee,” he says. “Close your eyes and remain in that position without falling. You’ll find you'll have a hard time doing it. “This is only one of the ten tests given prospective pilots. Some of the remainder are much harder.” * FOLLOWING are the other nine: Extend both hands, palms down, close both eyes and keep your hands steady without trembling. Step on a chair five times in fifteen seconds with no perceptible effect of exertion. Close one eye and still see distinctly with the other. Tell at a glance whether or not you have room to park your car in any designated spot. Pick up and isolate separate colors in a delicately tinted picture. Identify the flashing code of an airway beacon at a glance. Judge the speed of an approaching car in a hurry. See if your teeth are in perfect condition at all times. n tt ASK yourself whether you can do a day’s work and come in tired, and yet remember that your fellow workers are equally tired, and greet them with a kind word. The last test doesn’t concern a pilot’s physical suitability for his job, but indicates whether he is susceptible to irritability, a trkit which the flight surgeon doesn’t j think a good flier should have.

NATION NEEDS ROOSEVELT, OWEN D. YOUNG TELLS CHEERING G. O. P. BOLTERS

BY FREDERICK A. STORM United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Nov. 4.—Governor Frankiin D. Roosevelt’s campaign for the presidency reached its semifinal stage today when the Deftiocratic nominee, in the study of his New York home, concentrated on preparations for his last two appeals to the electorate —the first in Brook-

into Roosevelt’s tremendous lead. Thomas’ percentage is 4.84. The only states listed in the Roosevelt column in which the vote is close are New York, Kansas, Colorado and Delaware. If Hoover carries all seven of the states listed for him in the Digest count, if he upsets predictions and carries the four above-named Roosevelt states, and if he also wins in Pennsylvania, lowa and Michigan, states which the Republicans claim confidently, despite the Digest's report of preponderant Roosevelt sentiment therein, he will get a total electoral vote of 188. Since 266 electoral votes are necessary to win, Hoover would have to win also an additional bloc of populous states, such as California, Illinois. Ohio and Indiana —where the Digest count gives Roosevelt a 3-to-2 edge.

WINDUP SURVEY FORECASTS I LANDSLIDE FOR ROOSEVELT; MAY CARRHORTY STATES Only 92 Electoral Votes Appear Certain for Hoover; President Makes Last Frantic Appeal. OLD GUARD SENATORS ARE DOOMED Watson, Smoot and Moses Are on Skids; Democratic Unity Wrecks Hopes of Rivals; Fear Drive Pushed. BY RAY TUCKER Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.—Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York will be elected President of the United States Tuesday by a landslide vote that may give him forty or more states and an unprecedented majority in the electoral college. The only states now rated as hopeful for Herbert Hoover are Maine, New Hampshire, Connecticut, New Jersey, Vermont, Pennsylvania, Kansas and lowa. These have only ninety-two of 531 electoral votes, with 266 necessary to elect. The President has a chance to win seven other states: Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Delaware, Michigan, Indiana, Wyoming and California. Even with the addition of eightytwo electoral votes from this territory he would have only 174, or ninety-two short of the number needed to return him to the White House.

FEAR TRAGEDY IN PRISON FIRE Reports of Deaths Denied by Penitentiary Aid. By United Press MONTREAL. Nov. 4.—Fire was reported to have broken out today in St. Vincent De Paul penitentiary near here. First advices said an undetermined number of convicts and guards died in the flames. The fire was said to have broken out in the tailor shop and some convicts cut the hose. Eight convicts and two guards were reported to be in the shop. One report said these men had been burned to death, but confirmation of this could not be obtained. Another version of the outbreak was that the fire was under control and that no lives had been lost. Telephone communication with the prison was established at 12:40 p. m. in the absence of Warden P. A. Piuze, a clerk told the United Press: “Everything is all right and has been so for some time. I have no further information to give.” In answer to a direct query as to whether any lives had been last, the j official answered “no.”

lyn, tonight, the second at Madison Square Garden, Saturday. The Governor, who again assailed the Republican leadership for its so-called “campaign of fear,” in an address Thursday night to the Re-publicans-for-Roosevelt League, is expected to reiterate his charges tonight in Brooklyn. “We Want Beer” It was an unusual political audience that greeted the candidate in the ancient Metropolitan Opera House Thursday night. The famous “golden horse shoe”’ was filled with voters, many of them in evening clothes. But from these boxes, throughout the rally, came cries for “Beer—We want beer.” Restraint was forgotten when the two principal speakers, Roosevelt and Owen D. Young, were introduced. The Governor’s speech *as one of the most vigorous of his campaign. That of Young brought the chairman of the board of the General Electric Company, a great friend of Alfred E. Smith, to the platform for the first time since the campaign began. Assailed as “Un-American” Young attacked the leadership of President Hoover and called for the election of Roosevelt and Garner.

It is more likely, however, that a majority of these seven states will be found in the Democratic column, with the prospect that Hoover’s electoral total may drop as low as seventy-five. Despite the apparent certainty of a debacle for the Grand Old Party, drama of desperation colors the closing days of the campaign. The President, breaking all traditions that clothe his office in an ! atmosphere of political restraint, is making a transcontinental dash to ! the coast in a single-handed move to escape defeat. More Warning of Weeds He will warn again of weeds arising through the pavements and the crash of the republic if he is defeated. But even nature, which so often has rescued the Republican party in November, although summer suns had shone brightly on the Democrats, seems to have turned against Mr. Hoover. His warnings may be offset by record low prices for wheat and corn in the territory through which he is traveling. The same downward turn of the economic wheel may mitigate the effect of A1 Smith's Newark address assailing drys and 1928 "bigots.” And it is on these two factors j that the President has rested his l hope of retrieving the insurgent i west. Democrats Are United Meanwhile, the Democrats have united their forces and mobilized their illustrious figures as never before. Besides putting those com-rades-in-arms—Roosevelt and Smith —against the Republican phalanx, the Democrats have enlisted such personalities as Newton D. Baker, Senator Carter Glass, Owen D. Young and Governor Albert C, Ritchie of Maryland. The anti-Hoover barrage and drumfire rivals any political assault delivered since Woodrow Wilson averted seeming defeat by Charles Evans Hughes almost on election day dawn. Writhing in the grip of prospective defeat, veteran Republican senators like "Sunny Jim” Watson of Indiana, Reed Smoot of Utah, and George Moses of New Hampshire are sparing no efforts in these last days. In Indiana the Republican state committee has implored ministers to keep open their churches next Sunday in a day of prayer and sermon against the return of the saloon. Club Their Employes Many employers are sending out letters and filling pay envelopes with warnings that their workers should support the Republican ticket, from Hoover down. The campaign is closing in an atmosphere of bitterness rivaling the religious intensity of four years ago. New and unknown factors mark the struggle, but most of them are adverse to the Republicans—so adverse that forecasts of Democratic victory in all but two or three states are advanced in some quarters. As against the fifteen states with 174 electoral votes allotted to Hoover in the above estimate, there is a good prospect he may face a flood of antagonistic ballots in many of these states. Late reports give support to Democratic claims that they may carry such normally Republican (Turn to Page Eleven)
