STATE DEMOCRATIC SPLIT THREATENS; STORM MAY CENTER AROUND PETERS Formation of New Party Club Heralds Conflict; Draught Beer May Get Approval at Editors’ Session. BV JAMES DOSS Timn Staff Writer LAKE WAWASEE. Inri . Aug. 7 A routine meeting ol the Indiana Democratic Editorial Association assumed the importance of a major political conference today, with reports that a split impends in state Democratic ranks. Draught beer was an added item which raised the meeting from an everyday affair to one of special igniflcance to the new administration.

Political conferences behind closed doors started soon after breakfast. They will continue for two days, except for intervals in uhi'h the publishers will be occupied with their own problems or recreation. Hotel lobbies, beaches and golf links were crowded this morning Wray Fleming president of the association. said this was one of the largest meetings which the Democratic publishers ever have held. Split Over Peters In small groups, hnwr.ipr. administration leaders and members of the association gathered to discuss the fate of R Fail Peters Democratic state chairmen, and speculate over whether Governor Paul V. McNutt Tuesday night will give his sanction to thi sale of draught beer in Indiana. The so-called nartv split centers around Peters. Credence was given to rumors of dissension by formation of the Hoosier l. v mocratic Club. Inc . last week at Indianapolis. The club will raise a campaign fund of $100(100 by assessing voluntarily each Democrat on the state pay roll 2 per cent of his salary. Heretofore, it has been the duty of the state Democratic committee to raise campaign funds. But formation of the club indicates that Peters has lost favor with the McNutt clique. .Mentioned for Senate Peters is the one most promientlv mentioned as candidate for United States senator to oppose Senator Arthur R Robinson <Rep.. Robinson is a candidate for renomination in the May primary. One of the few state officials who oppose the Hoosier Democratic club is Floyd E. Williamson, state auditor. "Employes of my office. like mvself. will make their campaign contributions to Amos Woods, treasurer of the Democratic state committee,” fie said Almost overwshadowing the political question, however, was the problem of draught beer. The slate beer control law provides that beer may be sold ,n bottles only, but for more than a week dealers in 1 ake and Allen counties have been retailing brew* on tap Expect McNutt Announcement During this time McNutt was in California attending the conference of governors. In his absence, neither Paul P. Fry. state excise director, nor Pleas Greenlee, executive secretary. has known what to do about the open violations. Boih predict that the Governor will announce his stand on the question during the meeting here. McNutt favors draught beer, but it is thought that he will let the supreme court decide whether the state law legalizes the sale of benon tap or whether it permits the sale in bottles only. A case testing the beer law now is pending before the court. Attorney-General Phillip Lutz -Jr announced Saturday that he was ready to issue a ruling legalizing the sale of draught beer any time that M(4Jutt asks him to do so. tan Nuys in Limelight While the beer announcement will be made public, all political discussions or decisions are expected to be "off the record." Senator Frederick Van Nuys. who defeated the veteran James Watson last November, will be featured on Tuesday night s program. It will be lus first public appearance in Indiana since he left for Washington last January to attend the special scsssion of congress. Editor members of the association will convene at 4 p. m. today to discuss their own problems. Much of their time is expected to be devoted to a study of the code to be adopted by newspapers under the national industry recovery act.

‘Most Human’ Robot Being ‘Educated’ for Fair Visit

‘Willie,' King of Them All, Walks. Talks. Sings and Shakes Hands. H}l I nit - it I'rrt* (>AR\. Ind Aug. 7.—As soon as Little Willie.’’ only five feet tall, earns to smoke a cigaret, he s goto A Century of Progress fair. smoking never will be a habit with Willie; he's a robot. But his inventor. Andrew Bober. Gary watchmaker, has taught him to do more human things than that. Unlike most others of his kind. Willi* has the power of speech. He cur.s the thin lips of his handsome face and utters almost anything any one tells him to. His actions are directed by a set of electric wires operated by the inventor. Walks Without Difficulty More accomplished than that, this alacrious young product of a Polish watchmaker's handicraft suigs. Sometimes even better than his instructor. And with gestures of ®ve and hand. Occasionally, he taps the cymbal on a bass drum in time to his singing. Bober conceived the idea of making Willie seven years ago while watching a ventriloquist make a small doll talk and sing. The best thing Willie does, according to his creator, is walk with human naturalness. His feet shuffle along the floor like any humans, with perfect control in turning left or right. That's where most "mechanical men'' fall down. Greets Quests Personally When there's company, Willie walks about the room, introduces hmis If wih utmost politeness, and 1 shakes hands with each individual. In addition to .singing as his share cf the entertainment, he dances, i Waltzes are his predilection.

New Hope and Faith Is Stirred by Recovery Drive

Thousands of Letters Tell Roosevelt How Nation Is Backing Him. (Continued From Page One) to let you know how I felt. May God bless you and speed your journey on. P. S. I hope that I am not out of my place." a a a A VETERAN writes t'ne following letter from Florida also; "Your excellency: I listen with great pleasure to your radio address Monday evening, and I want to assure you lam with you 100 per cent, and I pray to God you can put it over, it must be put over, the people are getting destitute. "I am one Os the victims of two wars, unemployed and a disabled ex-service man. I have not had employment for twenty-two months, or since I came out of the hospital. My compensation was cut off July 1. The only means of livelihood we have had is my wife clerks in a ready-to-wear store for $36 per month. "If there is anything I can do to help the administration in putting the NRA over I trust, sir, you will feel free to call on me. My services are at your di§posal. I pledge you. sir. I will huy only from members of the NRA and will persuade others to do likewise.” a a a A VERMONT man had some one write the following for him: "Dear President. I am sorry that we are poor. We can not very well afford to buy ink, for times are very hard down through our territory. As crippled as I am. I appreciate your speech on the radio. "I wish that your four years will be successful. I'm going to put as njany votes as I did on your first election. Hope that you will read this letter personally. A Michigan woman writes: “It was with great pride that I listened to your wonderful talk last evening. It was a great privilege to hear it. and it can not help bringing great results. "When one thinks of the chaos

But Willie's best-natured moments are when the five motherless children in the Bober family are confined to the house. Then he will play and of’on shufflps about the rooms with a toy pistol in his hand, shooting and yelling. "Hands up!” and cheering up the children. Has Real Big Heart For Willie has a big heart. You can see it by raising up his black sweater and unbuttoning his blue-stnp-ed shirt. He also has an amplifier, a firstclass one. which may account for the special quality of his singing tone. Tncse and the strand of wires trailing from his heels to the control board all may be hidden by anew suit and th? dark background of a Century- of Progress vaudeville stage if Willie can learn to smoke a cigaret. lc A DAY INSURANCE GROWS IN POPULARITY New Low Cost Policy Now Pays I p to SIOO Monthly Kansas City.

BUY NOW FROM NRA STORES, IS JOHNSON PLEA Government Acts to Place New Power Behind Recovery Drive. BV H. O. THOMPSON tnllfA Pr, Staff Corrr>pndrnt WASHINGTON. Aug. 7—The government sought to throw new power behind the national recovery drive today by appealing to consumers to "spend for re-cmploy-ment,'* but to buy only from the man who dsiplaya the blue eagle of the NRA. It is what we buy and have and use that makes the increasing ! business upon which the whole program depends,” General Hugh S. Johnson, leader of the recovery program, said. "No employer can go on increasing pay rolls without increased business. The part of buy- ; ers now is to buy or this plan will be a failure.” In addition to the launching of the "buy now’’ campaign, a ousv week-end at NRA headquarters brought these developments. 1. Johnson expressed belief that "we will clean up all existing strikes * under the truce proclaimed by President Roosevelt. He said the arbitration board would begin work at once to adjust disputes. 2. Deputy NRA Administrator Whiteside threatened to withdraw blue eagles from Indiana grocery stores which were reported planning to limit store hours to less than sixty-three hours a week. i 3. President Roosevelt announced the government wherever posiblo would adjust existing contracts with private firms to make allowance for increased costs under the NRA program. He promised to ask congress to reimburse next year those whoso contracts can not be changed now 4. Terms of the permanent codo 'for the women's cloak and suit industry were revealed, banning sweatshop conditions, and setting a thir-ty-five-hour week and fixing minimum wages. This is the fifth industry to ’♦ brought under a permanent code. The others are cotton textiles, wool,en textiles, shipbuilding and electric manufacturing. Forty-Seven Are Initiated Forty-seven candidates were initiated into the Forty and Eight, play and honor organization of the American Legion, at Columbia park Sunday morning.
