THOUSANDS IN STATE TO GET AID ON HOMES Throng of Applicants Given Advice on Opening Day in Office Here. OPERATION SPEEDED UP McKinney Frames System to Expedite Work of Corporation. More than 4 000 people were interviewed bv E Kirk MrKinney. state chairman of the Home Owners Loan Corporation, and his assistants on the first day the institution operated here At least 5.000 applications were rereived in the state. This number, added to letters of application on file, increases the number of home owners .seeking relief from the corporation to nearly 60 000 MrKmnev and Joseph O. Wood state counsel, and Jack Strickland office inaanger at state headquarters here, were busv the entire day answering questions and instructing loan seekers in the correct way to fill out their application. File Temporary Papers Each applicant was instructed to fie out a temporary application which would assist HOLC officials In determining if loan could be made under provisions of the law. Only home owners living in their homes ran be benefited, according to law. and they must be in actual distress or in danger of losing their property through foreclosure proceedings or confiscation by the state for back taxes. ■ A large number of applicants.” says McKinney,” arc under the impression that, the Home Owners Loan Corporation is a refinancing Institution and that, the present mortgages on their property can be refinanced at a lower interest rate than now being paid. This is not true. The corporation is not competing with the present mortgage lender, nor will it. in the future. "In fact, we must and will protect, the home owner of the future bv not disturbing the present mortgage lenders in any wav.” Speeds Up Operation Home owners living in their property valued at more than S2O 000 with mortgages that are delinquent or about to be. or on which the taxes for at least one year have hot been paid, or where money is needed to pay the current tax assessment, are eligible for help, according to Wood. Loans also can be made for necessary repairs. To handle the large number of applicants and to speed up operations in the office. McKinney has issued an order whereby applications can be filed by letter in district 7,one offices, at, Ft.. Wayne. South Bend. Gary-Hammond. Evansville and the two branches of Indianapolis at Terre Haute and Richmond. Ind. The procedure will be to give each applicant, following receipt of his letter in the corporation office, a temporary application blank. Upon its return, its classification will be determined by inspectors, who will decide then whether a loan can be made under provisions of the act. Must Get Consent on Bonds This determined, it will be then necessary to obtain the consent of the mortgage holder to accept the home loan bonds in return for the mortgage. The property then will he appraised and the abstract examined. If everything is in order, the loan will be advanced. Some leeway was given McKinney. while in Washington over the week-end in conference with federal directors of the corporation. He was advised to "follow the letter of the law to the best of your ability but you always can temper your decisions with mercy." This is an indication that the letter of the law will not be followed in every instance. but that, in some borderline rase not strictly within its provisions, loans will be granted to relieve distress.

and sat down to listen Nothing happened He pleaded with them, and made suggestive chirping noises. The canaries just looked at him reproachfully. He went to the piano and played —-tinkling, melodious tunes, and even some folksongs from the Hartx mountains. The birds were bored. They weren't impressed, even if the great Toscanini could persuade a whole symphony orchestra to outdo itself. This went on for days. Finally a young woman named Dorle Jarmel ramp into the studio. She whistled at the birds and they burst into throat-splitting song. This was too much for the maestro, who began pacing up and down and dramatically running his fingers through his hair. "Ah," cried Toscanini, "what I would give if only I could whistle!”

Many of Gerard’s 64 Rulers of U. S.’ Fall From High Estate

BY PAUL HARRISON NFA S*rrlc* Writer NEW YORK. Aug. 17.—Three years ago this month, former Ambassador James W. Gerard handed out to a vastly interested world a list of 'Sixty-Four Rulers of America." It was all part of a plan for international recovery, and while the list was criticised roundly in many quarters because there were no political leaders mentioned, not even the then-President of the United States, Herbert Hoover, Gerard stuck to his guns and declared that the men he had named were “too busy to hold political office, though they determine who shall hold such office." Checking up today, three years after the list was announced, shows that this short period of time has brought many changes to these men. Some are dead. Many have lost wealth and influence. One is a fugitive from justice. But let's see how some of them have fared Death has come to Julius Rosenwald. merchant-phil-anthropist: John D.

LABOR GROUPS PUSH DRIVE TO UNIONIZE CITY A. F. of L. Launches Campaign Under NRA: Companies Organize. RACE FOR MEMBERS Workers in Larger Plants Besieged to Join by Opposing Factions. Union! Workers of Indianapolis in shop and mill, store and factory, are be-, ing confronted .with this w-ord daily, as employers and labor organizers request signing of cards, hold meetings. and discuss crafts. The word is reiterated from mouth to mouth due to Section 7 of the national industrial recovery act. which permits collective bargaining of employes with employers. the formation of unions or associations for mutual benefit. Some of the firtns facing organization of unions with either company label or that of the American Federation of Labor are Real Silk hosiery mills. Link Belt. P. R. Mallory Company. Kingan <fc Cos., J. D. Adams Manufacturing Company and downtown department stores. At Real Silk, organizers of the American Federation of Full-Fash-ioned Hosiery are attempting to start, the city's first hosiery union. The labor organizers are seeking to enlist 3.000 employes of the mills. Meetings are held three to five times weekly at the gates In attempts to enlist, workers. The mills have a company organization known as the Employes' Mutual Benefit Association. The 1.500 employes of the P. R. Mallory Company approved an employes' representation plan whereby they would be given voice in hours and pay rates. But organizers of*the state labor federation are busy attempting to turn present company unions into immediate affiliation with the American Federation of Labor. Federation Will Help Adolph Fritz, secretary of the state federation of labor, says the federation will welcome any union organized on a legitimate basts. Workers of Link-Belt are being importuned by labor organizers to join in preference to affiliating with a company union. Kingan's and J. D. Adams, are two other firms upon which organized labor is said to be centering its attention. Instances have been reported where employers sought to combat the organization of A. F. of L. unions by forming company groups. In turn, the signal for the formation of a company union has resulted in a deluge of literature and signature cards, from organizers affiliated with trade unions. Socialists in Action Members of the Socialist party of Marion county, led by Powers Hapgoori. are aiding the movement of organizing workers under Section 7 of NRA. The movement has spread to ' other cities in Indiana, with one organizer in Lafayette attempting to bind store clerks of that city into a | labor union. Trade unionist organizers claim strong interest in open shops where organizations are being attempted Assertions are made that 80 to 90 per cent of the employes of the firms where organizations are contemplated will become union workmen. Many Calls Received Offices of the Indiana State Federation of Labor, as well as offices of international unions of the city, are receiving numerous calls from workers desiring to find out methods of organizing under the American Federation of Labor. In other instances, employes of firms desiring to form their own company unions are meeting with their employers in an effort to effect orgamaztion. Labor officials of the city say that :t is too early to count noses, but aver that before Sept. 1 between 2.500 and 3.000 workers will be unionized, if prpsent plans succeed. The banana tree properly is more called a herb, since it has no wood stem and the trunk Is merely leaf stalks clustered together.

He paces restlessly about his room in a Nassau hotel, clad, perforce, in pajamas A stout, bull - necked, heavily - jowied man of 60, there is about him something of middle-class pomposity and something else a good deal more sinister. It is oddly appropriate that he is without clothes. For his reputation, too, has been shorn of covering. What a cloak, for a time, it wore! President* Gerardo Machado, benefactor of his people, friend to Uncle Sam, inheritor of all monumental public works! And now the palace has been looted, and the signs along the

Avenida Presidente Machado effaced. and the censors no longer are in Havana to keep the legend bright and shining. Instead, there is ?.he shivering nakedness of truth. There is the truth of wholesale murder, and torture, and corruption; of unbridled license, of immense and depraved vanity. How picture him, this fantastic creature who introduced into Cuba Yankee baby-kissing political hypocrisy and at whose behest schoolboys were blown to bits? It always is being asserted, and doubtless with reason, that no man's character can be either all white or completely black. That this tolerant belief encourages standards smudgedlv gray is neither here nor there. Those who hold it probably would be among those contending that the moral downfall of Machado was a gradual process, that the ogre did not emerge from the corpse of a kindly patriot until the coup of 1928 established his dictatorship. The neat legend, reposing in countless newspaper morgues and printed in endless laudatory sketches, states that Gerado Machado was born in 1873 in the city of Santa Clara, son of Colonel Gerardo Machado y Castello and the Senora Ludgarda Morales de Machado, •both members of prominent families identified for years with the movement to free their country from Spain." But Cubans of the landed aristocracy—once they whispered, now they shout—declare that the Machados, father and son. were of totally undistinguished stock and that the foundations of their fortune were laid by engaging in an enterprise known throughout our own West as ''cattle rustling." Gerardo escaped hanging. The advent of the revolution against Spain gave to his venture a quasipatriotic status. Indeed, he seems never to have been deficient in physical bravery, and the record of his wound on the field of Oliver while serving on the staff of General Delgado need not be questioned. He emerged from the revolution a colonel and did not return to the livestock business. Instead, he turned growing talents to politics.

ture concern which a few months ago went into bankruptcy. 4* * * OWEN D. YOUNG, not long ago a prominent figure in politics, international economics and big business, took another step into the background, when the administration decided he should not hold interlocking directorships in both General Electric and Radio Corporation of America. Nearly half the men on Gerards list of regents were among the "preferred clients' to the House of Morgan sold Crocks at less than market prices. J. P. Morgan may not sell any more stocks, though, for out of the Washington investigation came a decision that private bankers must give up either securities or their banking business. Thomas W. Lamont. one of the Morgan partners who paid no income taxes in the depression yeafs. was accused by counsel for the senate committee, of evading payment of tax by selling stock to his wife. Another former "ruler" of the United States to face senate inquisitors was Harry M Warner, president of the film concern of Warner Brothers. It was revealed that, in the same year that Gerard was nominating him as one of America s leaders, Warner and members of his family made

Gerardo Machado and. top, his reception by Mayor Hvlan. in N. Y. Below, by Mayor Walker.

His first real achievement was a foretaste of the day when he was to possess a private police force compared to which the gentlemen of the Cheka were little children, innocent and confiding—he organized the rural guard of Santa Clara province. In the light of his later career, we might say that he organized it so well that soon afterward he w'as elected mayor of Santa Clara. At any rate, he was. His first act. hts opponents recall, w'as to burn the Audencia, which held the files of a criminal charge against his father. Goes After Sugar Fortune It was at this time that Senot Machado became aware of the possibilities for one politically aware in the industrial and commercial development of his nation—a development carried on largely by American capital avid for concessions—and for returns. Ensuing years found him engaged in a collateral business career. As he rase in politics so did his name appear increasingly among lists of major stockholders in public utilities. Sugar was making millions for American investors, and Senor Machado was not long without a plantation. American business men, bankers, were quick to sense the value of this stocky young fellow on the make. In 1908 General Jose Miguel Gomez, victorious for the Presidency of the Liberal ticket, named Machado chief of the army, later secretary of the interior. Again and again Machado was a candidate for the governorship of Santa Clara province, but the Santa Clarans. with the wisdom of home folks, would have none of him. Bear Capers Like Lamb Gomez found it convenient to leave Cuba for the United States and left his party's future in Machado's hands. The Machado fist closed. Illijerate. unmannered. given, despite a wife and family, to conduct wh.ch seemed even to tolerant Lat.ns licentious. Machado set out definitely to build the foundations

$7,000,000 by selling almost completly out of their own company, then buying in again after the stock had ceased to pay dividends. These transactions were carried on through brokerage accounts under names other than their own. mm m TWO prominent executives numbered among Gerard's selections have encountered opposition from stockholders. A group of the latter in American Tobacco Company charged that George Washington Hill and his vice-presidents voted themselves huge bonuses 'Hill received $2.627578 in salary and bonus in 1931. and that they allotted themselves big blocks of the company stock at less than market prices. The quarrel has been compromised out of court. Eugene G. Grace, president of Bethlehem Steel, is involved in a similar dispute for bonuses received. Several of the ••rulers" of 1930 have been deflated as big-time speculators and financial manipulators. O P and M J. Van Sweringen. who told the senate banking and currency committee about their method of pyramiding a railroad system, at least temporarily, are out of the spotlight. So are the Fisher brothers, who made some $300,000,000 by selling Fisher Bodies to General Motors,

of the Machado legend long before his triumphal entry into the presidential palace. He affected a jovial democracy, a sentimental love for "the people"— the bear capered like a lamb. In his successful campaign of 1925 he made much of his refusal to ride a horse, as did other candidates. His slogan was "On Foot." Once in power the man behind the Machado mask moved swiftly, ruthlessly. Murder and assassination stamped out oppasition. while at the same timp interest payments on American private loans to Cuba rolled into Wall street with clocklike regularity.

Uses Gangster Tactics

Never did Machado* deliver a public address without referring to his friendship for the United States, and every reference was a threat—a hint that the Platt amendment, by which Uncle Sam stands bound to intervene in Cuban affairs to preserve order, would be the doom of any uprising. Determined to control all social agencies. Machado, with diabolical intelligence, converted to his own ends the practices of Yankee gangdom. Armed thugs would "muscle In" on meetings of every sort of organization, from labor union to historical society, and force the “election to office of Machado allies. Prisons were crowded; the trapdoor which led to the sea in the old Spanish dungeons of Morro Castle swung open again, dropping squirming. lead-weighted dinners to the hungry sharks of Havana harbor. Opposition Is Crushed By 1928 Machado had effectually killed or silenced oppositions. In control were the members of hts family, plus a freebooting coterie of friends. A stacked legislature passed a law assuring him. without reelection, an added term of six years. During that year laborer?! worked day and upon a new* capitol building, graft-ridden duplicate of ours at Washington. It was all ready for President Coolidge when he arrived to open the Pan-Ameri-can congress, as was the great Avenida Presidente Machado. In the provinces and in’ Havana alleys the poor were starving. The island was ground under tremendous taxation, approximately onehalf of which went to maintain interest on American debts, the remainder to "public works," to Machado and to the army. Yet Mr. Coolidge. opening the congress blandly of Cuba's "peace and prosperity.” This army—well paid, well fed—was long an efficient instrument in Machado's hands. Havana university was closed: sentries replaced the proctors. Soldiers were detailed to each public school, on watch for sedition. Officers were placed In

then cleaned up another fortune in Baldwin Locomotive, forcing the stock to 265 when its own president was announcing publicly that his plants were running at only 20 per cent capacity. With a fortune of some halfbillion dollars, the Fishers became spectacular market plungers, and their bullish eagerness was considered a big factor in the stock boom. They are believed to have lost more money in the consequent crash than any other group of men in the United States. a a a JOHN J. RASKOB. now out of public life, was another of Gerard's national leaders who was hard hit financially. The 1932 senate investigation of the stock market revealed that he, with Fred Fisher and others, sustained huge lapses in an Anaconda Copper pool. Raskob also was named in other operations in short selling. Manv others of the one-time "rulers" have been justifying their selection by playing conspicuous roles in industrial and financial reconstruction and reform Here are some of them; W. W.

virtual control of the island's various districts, superseding civil authority. Spurred undoubtedly bv a marked inferiority complex, a characteristic which made him unusually gross and brutal in the society of the well-mannered. President Machado turned to the creation of oppressne j laws so pointless as to raise a question regarding his sanity. With thousands of his people in rags. M&chado decreed that anv one appearing on the Prado without a coat was subject to arrest and a fine. Many a poor wretch was beaten by members of the Porra. Machado's gangster police, for this offense. Gutters Run Blood But against him was rising a wave of desperate anger. Revolution was a man, and a man who would not die. Havana's gutters ran blood, shark fishing in the harbor was forbidden after a carcass, opened, disclosed the body of a Porra victim. But the revolution would not die. Its leaders were idealists and your Latin idealist would die for his ideali. Its rank and file were hungry. ragged folk who hsd nothing to lose. In its active command were educators, diplomats, landholders of the old aristocracy, students, army officers with bad consciences. Outbreaks became more frequent, and the bomb, the bullet, the knife, the sharks, could not make an end of them. The rabble swarmed ovet the Prado. The police let them remain. to sleep. There they could be watched. Friend of English There were several periods of terror before the end. Once early last spring a British battleship steamed into the harbor, ready to protect its nationals. It was an incident which, somehow, did not make a stir in the States. Then, finally, last week's storm. England and Spam expressed concern in messages to Washington. There was no need. Machado raved, fought to the last. sp.U the ultimate goblet of blood. Then fled, without luggage, to Nassau. Arriving, he stepped from his planerslghed w*ith relief "Cuba will havp to find her destiny without me," he said, paused I have always been a friend to the English."

AIR TRAVEL IN CITY SHOWS BIG INCREASE 97 Per Cent Gain Reported for July by TWA. The national recovery program is having its effect even on aviation travel, judging from air traffic reports submitted today by C. E McCollum. Transcontinental Western Air district traffic agent. McCollum reported that Indianapolis passenger traffic on TWA planes in July increased 97 per cent in comparison with June. The Indianapolis increase was the largest for any city on the lipe, the average raise for the system being 54 per cent. The average passenger trip now is 701 miles. Increase was shown in express traffic also, the gain in the first seven months this year being 450 per cent compared with the same period a year ago. The line now is operating the greatest mileage in its history, with a night and a day transcontinental passenger service and night mail service, two added services on the Pacific coast division and an added service between New York and Chicago. Os a total of 716.000 scheduled miles in July, 988 per cent were completed. McCollum said.

M’NUTT WILL TAKE STAND IN BEER SUIT Governor Says He’ll Testify Gary Dealer Tried to Buy Permit. PARTY LEADERS NAMED Abe Rosen Complaint Cites Peters and McHale in Politics Charge. Governor Paul V.

Gary, "because I knew he had tried to buy it.” "Rosen rame to my office and I told him that anv one who had tried to buy a pprnut never would be granted one as long as I am Governor,” McNutt declared. He also Indicated that he would have other "interesting information” for the rourt. if he is summoned in the ease now pending. Politics Is Charged Rosen has brought suit against the state on the grounds that the beer control law is "uncoostituI ttonal." in that it conscripts prop- : erty without due process. His attorneys amended th e original complaint on Tuesday bv charging that the entire distribution of wholesale beer permits in Lake county was based on politics. None could be procured without approval from Democratic politicians and American legionnaires, the amended complaint charges. It also alleges that Governor McNutt, R. Earl Peters, Democratic state chairman, and Frank McHale, leading McNutt adviser in the beer setup, wore interested personally. Talked to Partner Rosen alleges that he employed Peters' law firm at Ft Wavne and was asked a SI,OOO retainer and SSOO donation for the Democratic state committee. Peters explained that Rosen did talk, to his partner. F’ay Leas, but the case was turned down, after a SSO advance for a trip to Indianapolis to confer with Peters here.
