NATION TURNS WITH HOPE TO FRANKLIN ROOSEVELT, WHO BECOMES PRESIDENT TODAY

Gravest Domestic Crisis Since Lincoln's Day Is Faced. HUGHES TO GIVE OATH 250,000 Visitors in Capital for Ceremony: Cabinet Set for Action. RV RAYMOND CLAPPER I n.tfd Pres* Staff C orrespondrnt WASHINGTON, March 4. —An anxious nation turned with hope today as Franklin ]). Roosevelt approached the solemn moment when he becomes President of the United States. The hour of destiny has arrived. | With it ramp the gravest domestic responsibilities of any President since Lincoln. The nation waited eagerly, hopefully, prayerfully as its newly chosen leaders made ready to take over these responsibilities shortly after noon, when Chief Justice Hughes administers the oath before thousands in capitoi plaza. His hour of triumph was sobered by concern over the banking situation in a number of states. His plans completely were screened behind tight silence. Congress Awaits ('all Anticipating that he will be ready to act swiftly, members of the new congress have been ordered by their leaders to stand by for a possible immediate call. It may meet one week from Monday. It may meet next week. Mr. Roosevelt, his close friends sav, is prepared to swing into action with his full authority. Until almost midnight he sat with his circle of serious advisers in his room at the Mayflower hotel. Three blocks away in the Lincoln study at the White House sat President Hoover. with his advisers. Nothing that transpired in either room was permitted to become public. Until 3:30 a. m.. lights burned in the treasury building, where Treasury Secretary Ogden Mills. William H. Woodin, the incoming treasury head, and Professor Raymond Moley, one of Mr. Roosevelt's advisers. met in secret conference with members of the federal reserve board. The building was surrounded by extra guards and the doors locked. 150,00 ft Inaugural Visitors Mills, after remaining with President Hoover until nearly midnight, had hurried from a back door across the street to the treasury building. Attorney-General William Mitchell and Henry M. Robinson. Los Angeles banker and one of Mr Hoover's personal economic advisers, sat with Mills in the President’s study as they went over the entire situation. Mills will remain in Washington several weeks to be available in event his counsel is needed. Mr. Hoover, changing his plans for a fishing trip, will stand by in New York City for a few days, attending to personal business, meanwhile. Out on the streets there was gayety today. Music from a hundred bands floated over the flag-decked city, spreading tidings that “Happy days are here again." Nearly 250.000 visitors scanned the skies, and noted that it was “fair and warmer"—to them a happy omen. Roosevelt Talk to Re Short Job hunters surged like political hunger marchers, flocking into the promised land after twelve years in exile. Military units in full dress uniform formed early for the twohour parade which it was expected Mr. Roosevelt after luncheon would review from the temporary court of honor, a replica of old federal hall. In front of the White House. This elaborate pageantry, democracy’s own version of royalty's coronation, was scheduled to fill the day. But so uncertain was the general situation that it was possible Mr. Roosevelt might have to take some time out for conferences. He prepared one of the shortest Inaugural addresses of modern times—an eight-minute speech. Its contents carefully were guarded. Cabinet Set for Action All members of his cabinet were on hand to take over their responsibilities as soon as their appointments are confirmed by the senate. The death of Senator Thomas J. Walsh, which east its shadow over the official family, caused a vacancy for attorney-general which was filled temporarily by Homer Cummings of Connecticut, who is expected later to become governorgenera! of the Philippines. Several of the prospective cabinet members already have begun to anticipate the problems that will confront them as they take office. Woodin and Cordell Hull, designated to be secretary of state, were in conference with Mr. Roosevelt until late Friday night. Indiana l'. Students Honored ft >! I i men Special BLOOMINGTON.

JAPAN’S ARMY SMASHES INTO JEHOL CAPITAL Advance Columns Find City Practically Undefended as They Arrive. ALL RESISTANCE ENDS Rout of Chinese Defenders Complete: Subjugation Far Ahead of Schedule. BY FREDERICK WHITEING, United Press Staff Correspondent (Coovrieht. 1933. bv United Press! WITH THE JAPANESE ARMY, AT CHENGTEHFU, Jehol. March 4. Smashing through the last Chinese resistance. Japanese troops under General Tadashi Kawahara occupied Chengtehfu, capital of Jehol, today, practically completing the subjugation of the great provvince seven days in advance of their program. The advance columns, arriving at the outskirts of the city through an intermittent blizzard, found the city practically undefended, and the imperial army entered the city proper at 10 a. m. today. The spectacular end of a mid-w'in-ter campaign in which the Nipponese troops suffered bitterly from cold, came as a result of an eighty kilometer forced march from Pingchuan under heavy equipment. Tanks and armored motor cars rumbled along with the main column through the windswept highways. All resistance seemed to have ceased.

JODGE REFUSES RECEIVER PLEA Turns Down Petition for Action on One-Half of Assets. Ruling of Circuit, Judge Earl R. Cox that a receiver can not be named for partial assets of the ; Union National Savings and Loan | Association, 20 West Ohio street, | w'as announced today. He denied petition of Gertrude Bowles asking appointment of a re- | ceiver for one-half the receipts of j the association. j Asserting she had obeyed a ninety-day notification of withdrawal provision of the company, the petitioner alleged its officials had refused to allow' her to withdraw $4,326. Action for receiver of a savings and loan association must be brought either by the state banking | examiner or majority of stockI holders and directors. Cox asserted. J “It is not possible for a creditor to i get a receiver appointed for 50 per | cent of the receipts of the association.” his ruling stated. “If the bank commissioner and di- | rectors should fail to act,” Cox i pointed out, “action clearly w'ould be j one of mandate to compel these j various entities to perform their | legal duty.” DOCTORS TO REMOVE POLO PLAYER'S EYE Danger of Infection Leads to Physicians’ Decision.

Three bandits gave the “little girl"—Texas Guinan herself—a “big hand” today when they robbed her of $40,000 in jew'elry and a $2,700 fur coat in front of the Lake Shore hotel.

TENURE BILL TO BECOME LAW Teacher Measure to Be Deposited With Secretary of State. The controversial teacher tenure bill, repealing tenure in townships and joint school districts, but leaving it in effect in cities and towns, is scheduled to become a law today. Although Governor Paul V. McNutt has not signed the measure, it will be deposited with the secretary of state by Wayne Coy. one of the Governor's secretaries. No explanation of the Governor's failure to sign was made. In addition to repealing tenure in townships and other rural schools, the bill sets 66 years as the maximum age for retaining a tenure contract. The present tenure law provides that when a teacher has been employed by a school corporation for five or more years, he can be dismissed only for immorality, incapacity or insurboidination, and then only after a hearing at which witnesses may be called and testimony taken. The new r act is a. compromise as the bill originally introduced in the senate provided for outright repeal oftenure in all schools.

Dog Racing Becomes Storm Center in Pari-Mutuel Bill Before Legislature

In amending the bill to permit the•maehines on all forms of racing the senate made it a revenue raising measure, with administration backing. Proponents said it would raise approximately $2,000,000 a year for the state's old-age pension fund.

Next Week's Action Is in Doubt: Symons Says Move Unnecessary Now. BANKS ARE OPERATING Withdrawal Limit Can Be Placed as Low as OneTenth Per Cent. Indiana banks are not expected to declare a moratorium today. This announcement was made this morning from the. Governor’s office, after Indianapolis bankers continued payment of liquid accounts over the 5 per cent withdrawal limit. There was no guarantee on conditions the first of the week. Governor Paul V. McNutt w-as consulted in Washington, D. C., by telephone and Luther Symons, Indiana state bank commissioner, recommended withholding any general holiday order. Symons said he believed the moratorium unnecessary, because Indiana banks have authority to enforce a withdrawal restriction as low' as one-tenth of 1 per cent.

Effect of the 5 p£r cent withdrawal limitation was not being felt at offices of the internal revenue de- ; partment in the federal building, officials said.
