HOOSIERS LOSE FAT JOBS BY HOOVER ROUT Indiana Democrats Now to Get Spoils in Lucrative Federal Posts. BY WALKER STONE Tlium Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.—Scores of Hoosier Republicans, many of whom have been drawing pay from Uncle Sam throughout the twelve years of G. O, P. dominance, soon will join the ranks of the unemployed. But for every Hoosier Republican who will be taken off the federal government’s pay roll, there already are standing in line a dozen Hoosier Democrats, hungering for the spoils of victory. When Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt enters the White House, March 4, next, the big clean-out will begin. Democrats will be appointed postmasters, United States attorneys, marshals, collectors of customs, collectors of revenue, deputies, assistants. Many to Be Ousted In addition to the Republican federal machine in Indiana, which will be liquidated as rapidly as the law will permit, many Hoosiers are holding down white collar jobs in Washington. Some are protected in their positions by civil service laws, but all who hold political appointments will have to go, to make room for “faithful” Democrats. In due time, Everett E. Neal will be relieved of his $7,000 a year salary as collector of internal revenue for Indiana, and the job will pass to a "deserving” Democrat. . Likewise the two United States district attorneyships, held by George R. Jeffrey, for the southern district, and Oliver M. Loomis, for the northern district. Loomis and Jeffrey, who owe their $6,000-a-year salaries to Senator Arthur Robinson, soon will return to private practice of law. Meloy and Hall to Go The two United States marshals in Indiana, Alf O. Meloy, southern district, and Emmett O. Hall, northern district, who draw $5,000 a year, soon will be looking for other jobs. So will all the deputy marshals. The $4,800-a-year job as collector of customs for Indiana, now held by George M. Foland, is another plum that will fall into the Democrat lap. A still more lucrative post is the $5,800 position as manager of the veterans’ administration office at Indianapolis, now held by John H. Ale. And in federal court buildings, in internal revenue offices, customs offices, and veterans administration offices are lesser jobs, not protected by civil service, which will be taken from Republicans and given to Democrats. Judges Will Remain The only three high-salaried federal officers in Indian whose jobs the Democrats will not be able to claim are the judges. Circuit Judge William M. Sparks, Indianapolis, at $12,500 a year, has a lifetime appointment, as do Thomas W. Slick, northern district judge, and Robert C. Baltzell, southern district -judge, SIO,OOO. In Washington also are a trio of high-paid Hoosiers holding nonpartisan positions which they are in no danger of losing. Ernest I. Lewis, interstate commerce commissioner, at $12,000, has a long-term appointment. Former Representative Richard N. Elliott, at $9,000 a year, has twelve more ’-ears to serve as assistant comptroller-general. Former Representative Oscar Luhring of Evansville has a lifetime job on the District of Columbia supreme court, SIO,OOO. There also are other Indianans here who may be permitted to serve out their terms, ranging as high as three years, including Oswald Ryan, general counsel of the federal power commission, at SB,OOO a year; D. M. Patrick, general counsel of the federal radio commission, SIO,OOO, and James M. Baldwin, secretary of the radio commission, $6,500. Lose Little Cabinet Posts Two $9,000-a-year Indiana Republicans who will be severed from the pay roll in short order are John H. Edwards, assistant secretary of interior, and Robe Carl White, assistant secretary of labor. These two “little cabinet” posts are hard to get and harder to hold. Other Indianans holding down white-collar jobs here include: William V. Liodcr, head of technical division, bureau of industrial alcohol, treasury department. $5,600; Alice B. ffSanger. personnel officer, postofftce department. $3,600; J. C. Harraman. director of parcel post. gostoffice department;, *6.000; George Landick Jr., superintendent of division of equipment and supplies, postoffice department, $5,000; Charles T. Ogle, chief of record division, navy department. *3.200; Walter H. Evans, chief of insular experiment stations, department of agriculture. $5,800; T. Weed Harvey, assistant chief of extension service, department of agriculture, $4,800: William P, Massing, chief of license division, radio commission, $2,900; Mrs. Agatha D. Ward director employment service for District of Columbia. $3,000: C. O. Arthur, director of bureau of regulation and traffic. United States Shipping board, $6,500: Pcrrv W. Reeves, member (representative of labor*, board of vocational education. $8,000; Luther E Ellis, chief of legislation and regulations division, veterans' administration. $5,600. and B K. Cash, chief of admissions and operative division, veterans, $5.0C0. QUICKER THAN WINK Camera Photographs Action Taking Fortieth of Second. By Bctipps-H award Xewspapcr Alliance BOSTON.

HOOVER FUTURE PLANS IN DOUBT President Is Expected to Engage in Writing. By Scrippa-Howard Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Nov. 9. What will President Hoover do after March 4? Belief prevails here that he will return to his California home on the campus of Stanford university at Palo Alto, there to engage in research and writing. There has come the suggestion that he may be named chancellor of the university to which he has given much time and energy. Here he would be surrounded by his best friends, men like Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, who assumes his old place as president on Jan. 1; Dr. Alonzo Taylor, food expert, who helped him feed Europe after the war; John L. McNab, who nominated him in 1928; his brother, Professor “Tad” Hoover, and many more. There being no traditional career in this country for ex-Presi-dents, such as in European countries, who offer their defeated prime ministers roles as opposition leaders, Hoover probably will not return to the political arena. Only one Amer--ican ex-President sought a seat in congress. He was John Quincy Adams. Three ex-Presidents headed third party tickets after leaving the White House. They were Van Buren, who headed the Free Soil party in 1848; Fillmore, who headed the Know Nothings in 1856; Roosevelt, the king of the herd of Bull Moosers in 1912. PIHCHOT NITS C. 0, P. Republicans Asked for Rout and Got It, He Says. By T'nitrd Press MILFORD, Pa., Nov. 9.—Governor Gifford Pinchot, in a statement to the United Press, said today; “The Republican national leaders asked for defeat and they got it. “They were warned that Hoover’s renomination meant disaster, but Wall street and the power interests insisted and the leaders listened to their master's voice. They are reaping exactly what they sowed. “This overturn is the revolt of the rank and file against blind and selfish leadership, which betrayed the people to serve concentrated wealth. “It is a mandate from the people to the Republican party to discard its false guides, reorganize its lines, and return to the principles of Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt.” DISARMAMENT WILL BE TOPIC AT PARLEY - • Round-Table Discussions Slated Under Auspices of State Council. Round-table discussion on disarmament will be held Friday and Saturday at the Y. W. C. A. under auspices of the Indiana Council on International Relations. Leader will be Clark M. Eichelberger of Chicago. League of Nations Association director. At 2 Friday he will discuss the status of the world today, and problems confronting disarmament conference delegates. The topic Saturday will be the country's political conditions and their relation to foreign policy. Other speakers will include Sherwood Eddy, Paul Harris Jr., Dr. Harold ,Fey, Rabbi J. M. Taxay, Dr. C. R. Hennings, Dr. R. Clyde White and Dr. C. Franklin Koch.

Trustees System Note Holders Meeting Called

Committee Is Seeking to Remove Receivership on Company. Meeting of Trustees System gold note holders will be held at 2:30 Thursday in superior court one, it was announced today by the gold note holders committee, of which Louis Benjamin is chairman. The committee was formed following appointment by Superior Judge John W. Kern of Willis Eggleston and Joseph Wood as temporary receivers for the Indianapolis company last Thursday. It was explained the local receivership action was taken to avoid useless litigation because of the pending litigation against the parent company in Chicago. Notice to gold note holders of the meeting Thursday stated that cooperation of holders in a constructive program should result in the receivership being removed and affairs of the company turned back to its management. Temporary receiver for the parent company was named in federal court in Chicago when a gold note holder sued because the company failed to buy back SIO,OOO in gold notes before maturity, as had been the practice up until a month ago. Company officials explained they ceased cashing in the notes before maturity because sale of new notes had dropped and to continue the practice would necessitate calling in loans. The company, with branches in many cities, operates in the small loan business. Hearing on a permanent receivership for the parent 1 company in Chicago has been set for Nov. 15. SOUND FIRST GUN OF YULE SEALS CAMPAIGN Tuberculosis Thrives in Hard Times, . Says Dr. Martin. Pointing out that tuberculosis thrives on hard times, Dr. Will J. Martin, president of the Indiana Tuberculosis Association, today sounded the first gun of the annual campaign of the organization to raise funds for its preventive work. A total of 65,000,000 Christmas seals, expected to raise a revenue of at least $200,000, have been distributed to 5,000 workers throughout the state, Dr. Martin said. “Undernourishment follows directly such periods of unemployment as we have had,” he warned. “Conditions now are being developed in Indiana that will need more drastic attack from health workers than at any time since the tuberculosis-contral program began. “Otherwise, the vast network of prevention and cure we have been able to spread across the state will fail to function next year.”

EUROPE SEES LITTLE CHANGE IN U.U’OLICY Radical Action Is Deemed Unlikely, With Roosevelt Taking Helm. BY - WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scripps-Howard Foreign Editor WASHINGTON, Nov. 9 I gather in diplomatic circles here, is not expecting any radical or immediate change in United States foreign policy as a result of the election of Franklin D. Roosevelt. Having watched the American elections this year with unparalleled interest, and having waited impatiently until they were over, Europe's Washington representatives are wondering just what the shift is going to mean to the rest of the world in terms of action. A number of problems of world importance are waiting to be settled, including war debts revision, the world economic conference, disarmament, the Sino-Japanese controversy, American adherence to the world court, the project to strengthen the Kellogg pact, Russian recognition, and others of lesser magnitude. Calamity in Delay The fear is expressed privately among some of the diplomats that President Hoover, in his defeat, may draw within his shell, and wait until Roosevelt comes into office to act on the important issues. This, they aver, would be calamitous. Others, however, point out that President Hoover’s outstanding representative abroad today is Norman Davis, a Tennessee Democrat and undersecretary of state in the Wilson administration. Having served as a representative of the United States treasury in London and Paris as a member of the supreme economic council in France, and as financial advisor to President Wilson, it farther is observed, he amply is qualified to carry on now as liaison officer in Europe between Hoover and Roosevelt until-March 4. What Great Britain, France, Italy and the other principal debtor nations chiefly are now concerned over is the war debts. A drive for reduction or cancellation had begun earlier this year, but later was soft pedaled, because of the American elections. It might embarrass both candidates. Fear Hoover Sidestepping Now that Hoover is defeated and Roosevelt will not enter the White House until March, it is recognized that negotiation of the desired drastic scaling down still will be difficult. As the war debts issue is full of political dynamite, Europe fears, President Hoover may find it convenient to will it to his successor. Practical-minded observers here, however, believe it will be easier for the Democrats to handle war debts than for the Republicans, because of the repeal plank in their platform. Repeal of the eighteenth amendment and adoption of the Swedish, Canadian, or some similar system of federal or state liquor control, it is said, would make it possible for Europe to pay her war debts in goods instead of in gold. STICK TO SOUND MONEY Canada Affirms Policy, but Will Join in New Moves. By United Press OTTAWA, Ontaria, Nov. 9.—The government feels that Canada is justified in joining other countries in adopting new monetary measures. But, in no measure will, depart from the- policy of sound money, Prime Minister R. B. Bennett told the house of commons Tuesday. Bennett was explaining the transaction under which the government borrowed $35,000,000 from banks and loaned it back to them, thereby increasing credit facilities and the amount of currency in circulation.
