SLEMP, FOX OF 0.0. P.. PRAISES JAMES FARLEY Roosevelt Manager Never Made a False Move, Says Virginian. BY RAY TUCKER Timet Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.—Praise fi ;m Sir Hubert for National C airman James A. Farley! C. Bascom Slemp, who demonst ated his political astuteness as C Ivin Coolidge’s secretary and as a Republican power in the south, th nks that the man who ran Preside lt-Elect. Roosevelt’s victorious cr npaign is one of the “cleverest aid smoothest politicians” he has ol erved in many years. Discussing the Republican rout ai era recent visit to the White H use, the soft-spoken Virginian sad: “I was in a position to watch Mr. Fr rley’s moves from the start to fii ish of the campaign for the n( mination and election. I saw whom he contacted in the south, aid how he did it. He never made a false move, and he never made an enemy.” Slemp to Play Big Role Then, rather ruefully, Slemp added: ‘ I wish we had a Farley in the Republican party.” In any reorganization of the Grand Old Party the former national committeeman from Virginia probably will play an important part. He trains with the “Old Guard,” which is expected to step in and take charge of the “wreck,” and he has had little sympathy with the men placed in charge of the machine by President Hoover. He agrees with most practical Republican politicians that the last four Republican national chairmen —Work, Huston, Fess and Sanders —were partially responsible for the smash of the G. O. P. on Nov. 8. In fact, he saw the administration heading for oblivion as far back as 1930, and he resigned his political post when his suggestions were not heeded. Makes Wild Bet In view of his advance knowledge of the outcome, his friends are wondering why he made such a bizarre bet on Mr. Hoover’s re-election. Slemp agreed to send a ton of coal by airplane from Pennsylvania to John A. Costello, Democratic national chairman for the District of Columbia, if Roosevelt won. Asa good Republican, however, It is possible that Slemp simply wanted to go down with his colors—and his coal—flying. It cost him $147 in plane charges to demonstrate his partisan patriotism-, but he can afford it. Most “Old Guard” Republicans insist that the Republicans must emulate the Democrats in setting up a publicity bureau at the capital. But Slemp does not agree that its purpose should be to “smear Roosevelt.” In his opinion, it simply should present the Republican viewpoint from day to day, with honest criticism of the Democrats’ mistakes on Capitol Hill or at the White House. ,To do otherwise, in his opinion, would violate the American spirit of fair play, especially as the people showed so clearly that they “want to give Roosevelt a chance.” Slemp is not usually given to such generosity toward his political enemies. But nobody ever accused him of not knowing practical politics or of not knowing when he is licked. CITY RELATIVES OF NEW SENATOR ELATED Washington Returns Received Jubilantly by Cousins Here.

Will Rogers Is a Hobo in ‘Too Busy to Work’ This Comedian’s Latest, Which Opens Friday at the Apollo, Has the Services of Dick Powell. BACKED by an impressive cast that is headed by Will Rogers, “Too Busy to Work,” the celebrated wit’s latest picture will open an engagement at the Apollo, Friday, where it will remain for a limited engagement. Rogers is supported by Indianapolis’ own Dick Powell and Marian Nixon. Powell and Miss Nixon share honors in the romantic roles. The story of “Too Busy to Work” revolves around the adventures of a philosophical and kindly vagabond and his search for his daughter, whom his unfaithful wife took with her when she ran away with a more aristocratic man while he was away fighting in the war.

Rogers finds the daughter living luxuriously and in love, and rather than make her unhappy by revealing himself to her, he goes on his wandering way, contented by the thought that she is enjoying blessings that he could scarcely provide for her. While Rogers is said to be accorded more than the usual number of chances for witty comments, his role is also highly sympathetic. Miss Nixon, who has appeared re cently in “Rebecca of Snnnybrook Farm” and "Amateur Daddy,” portrays the part of Rogers’ daughter, while Dick Powell, recently seen m “Blessed Event,” and remembered for his many local personal appearances, plays opposite Miss Nixon. Others in important roles are Constantine Romanoff, Douglas Cosgrove, Louise Beavers and Jack O’Hara. John G. Blystone directed from the story “Jubilo.” Short subjects supplementing the featured attraction are Movietone News, Aesop's Fables and an Organlogue by Jesse Crawford, entitled “Night Melodies.” tt a FAMOUS BAND BOOKED FOR ROOF Red Nichols and his Pennies have been engrged by the Indiana Roof ballroom management for a onenight appearance, Sunday evening. The Nichols unit is billed “Red Nichols and His Five Pennies—all Twelve of Them.” This unusual billing is made as an explanation to a public which remembers away back when five and six-piece orchestras were the vogue, and Nichols and his Pennies were the most popular of their kind. The band has since been augmented to twelve pieces, but the original Five Pennies continue to be featured. They have played many noteworthy engagements, including appearances in three editions of Earl Carroll’s "Vanities,” a season in Joe Cock’s revue success, “Rain or Shine,” and in two of George Gershwin’s hit shows, “Strike Up the Band” and “Girl Crazy.” They will come to Indianapolis from the Golden Pheasant, Cleveland, O. non After your Thanksgiving dinner the following theaters are bidding for your attention: The Palace with “Prosperity,” the Apollo with “Tess of the Storm Country,” the Circle with “If I Had a Million ’ Stanley Twins at the Lyric and “He Learned About Women” at the Indiana.

‘Magic Knife’ Developed to Aid Surgeons’ Work

'Spectacular’ Instrument Wins Praise of Leaders in Medicine. BY GENE GILLETTE (Copyright. 1932, by United Press) DES MOINES, la., Nov. 24.—A new electro-surgical knife, described by professional men as “spectacular” was demonstrated to surgeons here Wednesday. The instrument separated tissue almost without pressure upon the surgeon’s scalpel. The cutting seemed almost magical, for there was no wire attached to the knife. Paul C. Rawls, the inventor, who was granted a patent Tuesday, explained how the use of vacuum tubes enabled him to obtain a higher frequency electric current, thereby making possible the new knife. The discovery, which medical men believe also opens new possibilities in the field of “intra-thermy” (heating from within), was made by Rawls several years ago in the Orient. Burns Lead to Invention Rawls suffered radio frequency burns, when he was making emergency repairs while operating a shortwave transmitter for the United States marine corps at Shanghai. The burns seemed serious, but to Rawls’ surprise they healed promptly and without scar tissue. Experiments followed. Rawls had previous X-ray and medical knowledge and his progress was rapid. The instrument that he perfected and demonstrated today has the indorsement of prominent medical men, in whose hands the knife has been placed for experimentation. The new principle has been received with enthusiastic professional comment when applied to physical therapy. One physician mentioned the possibility of successful treatment for cancer, saying: “These instruments offer themselves in a peculiar way for the scientific work of investigating the effects of various high frequencies upon tumor cells and their destruction.” Resembles Radio Transmitter The device resembles a radio transmitter with simple controls and vacuum tubes. Leading from it are two electrode cords. The ultra high frequency “field” is set up between them, whether the instrument is being used in surgery or intrathermy. In the case of intrathermy the controls permit “tuning” of the patient’s circuit, much as a radio set is tuned. In surgery, the conductor to the scalpel is eliminated by placing one insulated electrode beneath the paMASS SELLING TO AIDFARMERS, IS AIM Merging of State Co-Operative Groups Explained by Officials. Mass selling of produce as a step toward relief for the distressed farmer is the aim of the merger of the Indiana Farmers’ Co-operative Elevator Company and the Central States Grain Association, announced today, according to B. B. Benner, secretary-treasurer of the latter company. “Through the consolidation, grain farmers in the state, now are m position to market co-operatively through 100 member elevators and twenty-five non-member elevators. “This co-operation indicates not only a liberal and broad-minded attitude to be helpful to farmers, but also a growing conviction that massed buying must be met by massed selling of major farm commodities, if the existence of the elevators is to continue,” Benner said. REALTORS WILL MEET Memhers of State Board of Governors to Convene Here Dec. 2. Members of the board of governors of the Indiana State Real Estate Beard will meet during the r.f.ernoon of Dec.. 2 in the Washington to consider the board’s program during the winter session cf the legislature, according to Albert i E. Uhl, president. The board will consider means of protecting the $1.50 tax limit law, and plans for broadening the tax base, Uhl said.

tient, and the other near the body of the surgeon. An ordinary scalpel in the surgeon’s hand then becomes an electric knife that lays open the tissues at the touch, and leaves an incision that will heal promptly.

FREEDOM FOR PHILIPPINES UP ON DECEMBER 8 Independence Bill Is Senate Unfinished Business; Passage Seen. By Scrippt-Ilnirartl Xnctpapcr Alliance WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.—At 2 o’clock on the afternoon of Dec. 8, the United States senate will proceed to consideration of the HawesCutting bill to free the Philippines It is the unfinished business. The agreement to take it up was made by the senate just before it recessed last July. Friends of Philippine freedom are optimistic of the adoption of the Hawes-Cutting bill or some similar measure. While they prefer the Hare bill, which overwhelmingly passed the house, because it provides for independence more quickly, they are keenly desirous of speedy final action by congress and will not quibble over details. No developments during the election campaign, in the opinion ot Commissioner Osias, one of the resident Filipino delegates, arose to change congressional sentiment on the bill or affect its status when congress recessed. It was predicted seventy-five senators at least would vote for independence. That estimate still holds good, it is declared. The Democratic platform pledged early freeing of the Philippines. The Republican platform ignored the subject. During the campaign it became an issue only in the beet sugar regions of the west. In Colorado and Utah, however, it assumed the proportions of a major political question, owing to competition of free imports of Philippine sugar witn the domestic product. Democratic candidates promised to press the liberation measure vigorously in congress, and won. The members of the commission sent over by the island government again will be present when the bill is taken up. Psychologist to Speak B. J. Brown, psychologist, will be the speaker at the meeting Friday night of the Forgotten Man Club in Compton’s hall, 2001 Winter avenue.
