M’NUTT CHOICE PUT ASIDE BY REPEAL CHIEFS J. W. Eggeman Will Preside at Conclave: M’Cullough Is Shelved. DRAUGHT BEER HUSHED Trade Made by Governor to Prevent Dissension at Convention. BY JAMES DOSS Time* Staff Writer Governor Paul V. McNutt was beaten decisively today in a battle over organization of the eighteenth amendment repeal convention this afternoon, but he won a victory blocking a demand for draught beer. Faced by a revolt on Lhe convention floor over election of the presiding officer, McNutt withdrew the sponsorship of Thomas McCullough, Anderson newspaper executive, and assented to the choice of John W. Eggeman, Ft, Wayne attorney and veteran foe of dry legislation. In return for this honor to Eggeman, the Ft. Wayne delegation is reported to have agreed not to present a draught beer resolution, drawn up by Oscar G. Foellinger Republican editor of the Ft. Wayne News-Sentinel. Fight McNutt Plan Tfce convention committee on permanent organization, headed by Senator William D. Hardy, had chosen McCullough for president; Eggeman and Henry W. Marshall, Republican publisher of Lafayette for vice-presidents, and Mrs. Meredith Nicholson Jr., Indianapolis, for secretary. This slate was dictated by the Governor. Today caucuses were held in downtown hotels and in the statehouse lobbies, with the anti-McNutt factions lining up strength for Eggeman. There were indications that the big delegations from Allen, Lake, Vigo and Marion counties would make a strenuous offort to beat McNutt on the convention floor, if he did not ‘‘take water." Eggeman Is Chosen Leo Rappaport, Marion county delegation chairman; William Stokes, Association Against the Prohibition Amendment secretary; Eggeman, Marshall and McCullough conferred with the Governor. A few minutes later word was passed along that Eggemen had received the McNutt benediction. The Governor could see that his chances for takiftg a whipping were very good and he didn't want the convention's business of ratifying the twenty-first amendment complicated by a draught beer fight. The vote for the twenty-first amendment, which repeals the eighteenth amendment, will be strictly along wet and dry lines, for delegates are pledged to vote as they were elected. Accordingly. 246 wet delegates, representing fifty-two counties, will vote "yes." The eighty-three drys, representing thirty-seven counties, will vote "no.’’ When Eggeman takes the president's chair this afternoon, the chair will be well filled. Eggeman, former Allen county judge, weighs more than 200 pounds and stands more than six feet tall. Felt Honor Due Eggeman The elderly Ft. Wayr.e attorney is what generally is referred to as "a fine figure of a man.” He was a Notre Dame football linesman >ears ago. when football was a very rough sport indeed. He is chairman of the United Repeal Council, which headed the repeal drive in Indiana. This position alone almost entitled Eggeman the honor of presiding at the formal death knell of the Eggeman forces 'ointed out. There were repeated reports today that draught beer demands might be voiced by the Lake. Vigo or Vanderburgh delegations, but it generally was believed that the effort might not be made, since Allen county has been pacified with Eggeman’s selection. Gallery Open to Public The delegates are scheduled to be sworn in at 2 this afternoon by Chief Justice David A. Myers of the supreme court. Lieutenant Governor M. Clifford Townsend will open the convention and preside until a permanent president is chosen. The house of representatives gallery will be open to the public, but admission to the house floor will be by credentials. Delegates will obtain convention credentials in exchange for their certificates of election at a desk at the house chamber door.

Germany Must Work Out Its Destiny in Its Own Way, Hitler Says in Interview

BY KARL A. BICKEL Pr**tdM>t of th* United Pro** Amoeiation (Coovrißht. 1933, bv United Pre*s> BERLIN, June 26.—Adolf Hitler, in an exclusive interview with the United Press, today said "the German people must solve their own problems themselves and according to their own methods.” This will be understood, he said, "when it is realized abroad that the whole German nation is behind me.” Hitler made this utterance in a special message to the people of the United States, through the United Press. The German chancellor, wielding more power over his country than any chancellor since Bismarck, received me in the richly paneled, but simply furnished, private office of the chancellory. In the interview. he defended Germany’s course and

KEG BEER CASE RULING AWAITED Court May Pave Way for Brew This Week. Indiana's supreme court may decide the draught beer case this week, it was reported at the statehouse today. Meanwhile, the sweltering delegates to the dry repeal convention were clamoring for schooners. Over the bottles of 3.2 they were arguing that what the state needs at once is "good old keg beer.” Should the high court permit Councilman John Tenkley of East Chicago to sell it on draught, the bars will ne down. Tenkley procured a lower court writ to permit sale of draught beer, but the supreme court issued a temporary restraining order. It was asked for by Attorney General Philip Lutz Jr., through a request to the high court for a w'rit of prohibition. He is fighting to have the writ made permanent. Issues are closed and the case is ready for decision. Should the high court fail to permit draught beer, the state administration may find some way to make keg beer available through excise department rulings, it w'as said. Governor Paul V. McNutt no longer objects, since repeal has been voted. DOUG JR. FIGHTS DEATH Actor Dangerously 111 of Pneumonia at N. Y. Hospital. By I nitrd Press NEW YORK.

U. S. Moves to Reverse Plan of Economic Parley

BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scripps-Houard Foreitn Editor WASHINGTON. June 26.—When Assistant Secretary of State Raymond Moley. President Roosevelt's spokesman, arrives in London Tuesday or Wednesday he will undertake nothing less than to change the whole planned course of the world economic conference. As stated by the President himself just before the conference was called to order, its chief objectives were the immediate stabilization of currencies, the removal of tariff, and other barriers to the free flow of world trade, and the rising of price levels. Moley, the President's messenger, now will inform the conferees that, according to the present American plan, the conference must not stabilize currencies or be too hasty about tariff revision, while priceraising is a job which, in the main, can best be tackled by each individual nation in its own way. The assistant secretary of state in short, will urge upon London that each country first set its own house in order. The world economic conference he will say, is useful, in large part, only to co-ordinate in some measure these strictly national activities. Moley. whose opinion President Roosevelt rates highly, holds that it is a fallacy to believe the depression has acted like a kind of disease. spreading from country to country.

predicted the doom of parliamentary government. The chancellor’s first appeal was for understanding—a doing away with prejudice against himself and his country. His second was for world realization that the German people "are solidly back of my regime, and that the pow’er I wield has been acquired legally.” "I ask the thoughtful people of America,” he said, “to weigh this regime in the balance only with authentic information, and not to forget that no American government ever had more loyal and united support than I have today.” The chancellor appeared physically alert and remarkably fit. His face was bronzed. Hitler spoke slowly, choosing words carefully, at the beginning of our conversation. Then, as it progressed and he began developing his theme,, he became animated, emphasizing his points with a stabbing gesture of his index finger. As he swept into an attack on modern parliamentary systems, he became vehement, almost eloquent. a u >t HE argued vigorously for what he termed “personal leadership" as opposed to the fumbling methods of parties,

Series Delayed

Due to the length of time needed for chemical analyses and other points of investigation. The Times’ series on pollution of state streams will not start for several days.

OVERCOME BY GAS IN NORTH SIDE HOME Water Heater Fumes Cause Woman’s Collapse. Miss Mary Cook, 32, of 4921 Ford street, Speedway City, a domestic employed at the home of Mr. and Mrs. James H. Sutton, 4702 Winthrop avenue, was overcome by gas this morning in the basement of the Sutton home. Miss Cook was operating a laundry machine w hen she succumbed to gas fumes, believed to have collected from a gas water heater Mrs. Sutton had used earlier. Miss Cook was found in a chair and carried into the open air by Frank Hollis, Omar Baking Company driver, who heard Mrs. Sutton's call for help. The fire department rescue squad revived Miss Cook. SMOKING FOE DIVORCED Forced to ’Sneak' Puffs in Bathroom, Husband Testifies. Alleging he was forced to "sneak” smokes in the bathroom of his home with the window open and the door locked, Fred Henry, elevator operator of 29 Virginia avenue, was granted a divorce from his wife, Leila Henry, 2725 College avenue, in superior court today.

Most of the ills of each country are domestic, therefore, the remedies must be domestic, is the Moley theory. The London conference, therefore, according to this view, really can do little beyond co-ordinating these domestic efforts at self-cure. So completely different are the expressed views of State Secretary Cordell Hull, head of the American delegation at London, and Moley’s nominal chief, that Secretary Hull’s resignation after the London conference would cause little surprise there.

Merely consortiums, working on the principle of majority rule, but assuming no actual responsibility. “Personal leadership, on the contrary, is founded on the principle of sole, final responsibility. "After all, what is dictatorship? All great, successful business enterprises of the world are run as dictatorships, on the basis of courageous, single responsibility. “It is when things begin to go bad—when firms or governments are threatened with bankruptcy—that people begin to hide behind the convenient anonymity of boards of conservators." In response to my question whether he believed this brand of national Socialism would spread from Germany to other countries, Hitler declared: "There are certain ideas of national Socialism which are fundamental, such as the idea of the tremendous importance of personality in leadership—and such as the low esteem in which we hold the stereotyped application of the so-called 'majority idea’ which in our day (Turn to Page Two)

SOUTH OPENS ‘COTTON WEEK' Destruction Plan Drive to Be Led by County Farm Agents. By Scripps-Howard "Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, June 26.—" Cotton week” begins in the south today and as the campaign to get producers to destroy 10,000,000 acres of growing staple is begun, officials of the agricultural adjustment administration here predict its success. One official said that wires and letters from Mississippi showed that many cotton farmers there would be willing to plow under 50 per cent of their present acreage. Another reported a similar reaction from Georgia and another that South Carolina farmers only were waiting for the contracts to sign. Other reports from Tennessee and Arkansas are to the effect that planters are ready to cut their acreage by about 25 per cent. Cotton men of Houston, the world’s greatest cotton port, look on the destruction plan with fear and awe, but nevertheless they expect it to succeed, at least at the outset. ATTORNEY ARRESTED ON PERJURY CHARGE Lawyer, Linked in Scanlan Auto Case, Held.

BANK CASHIER MURDERED IN STATEHOLDUP Shot Without Warning in Holdup at La Crosse; SSOO Is Loot. By United Press LA CROSSE, Ind.. June 26.—William E. Tennell, 45, cashier of the La Crosse state bank, was murdered today by one of two cold-blooded gunmen who robbed the institution of SSOO in silver and small bills. The bandits casually looted the cash drawers after shooting Tennell down because a time lock prevented his opening the vault. He died almost instantly from a bullet through his chest. Four men comprised the bandit gang. One remained in the car while another stood guard outside the bank. They escaped in a large sedan on Road 43. Tennell and Miss Lillian Youngreen, assistant cashier, were alone when the bandits entered. One aimed a gun at the woman and said: "This is a stickup!” Fires Without Warning She answered that a time lock would keep the vault closed for at least an hour. Tennell was sitting with his back turned toward the gunmen. He turned when he heard the conversation. One of the bandits pointed to him, uttered a foul oath and said: "The has it locked.” He fired without warning and Tennell fell from his chair to the floor. Miss Youngreen then was commanded to lie face downward while the bandits went through the cash drawers. They picked up two guns which were hidden in the bank, but left them on the counter when they left. Fingerprints Are Sought Officials immediately prepared to examine the weapons for fingerprints. hoping they could learn the identity of the desperadoes. As they left the bank, their car drew up in front. It had been driven around the block during the holdup and the escape was timed perfectly, witnesses said. The three bandits were joined by their lookout. Persons working in stores and offices near the bank said they heard the shot which killed Tennell, but thought it was a tire blowout. They said that two guns were pointed out a rear window of th* bandit car as it sped away. A posse of nearly 500 officers and civilians was organized quickly and started in pursuit. The bandit car had no license plates. Tennell formerly was superintendent of schools at Winamac and had been in La Crosse about three years. He is survived by nis widow, a 9-year-old son and a daughter, 12. La Crosse is in La Porte county. LINOY, WIFE READY FOR OCEAN FLIGHT Famous Flying Couple May Hop to Denmark.

WALKING down the street to catch a street car or taxi, “Nig" heard a hail. It was Keller. “Say. I don't want this bill. It's no good. It's counterfeit," Keller called to him. “Nig" was sorry. So sorry! He went back to Keller’s place of business. He borrowed money to make up the difference from the soft drink and his change and gave back the one dollar in change to Keller. He took back the counterfeit bill —and walked home. A few hours later some of the South Illinois street boys told him that the word had gone out that he was “wanted for shoving the queer.”

July wheat at 91 doubled its season’s low of 45 Tremendous Profit-Taking Tremendous profit-taking sales wiped out a good portion of the upturn, but the undertone remained undiminished.

Kahn will bring to the ornate senate caucus room some of the same mystery and glamor that marked the appearance of J. P. Morgan.

For five years he operated the Deutsche bank in London, coming to the United States in 1893 and four years later becoming a partner in Kuhn, Loeb. The inquiry into Kuhn, Loeb <te Cos. is expected to dwell largely on the company’s flotation of railroad purities, although Ferdinand Pe•a. committee counsel, has indited there will be side trips into ch matters as income taxes, prerred lists, such as were disclosed in the Morgan inquiry, investment trusts and the interlocking of big financial and industrial organizations. Sale of foreign bonds to American investors also may enter into the inquiry and the committee has indicated it will take advantage of its powers to inquire into operations of the New York Stock Exchange.
