REPEAL AN AID TO DRY CAUSE, M'BRIDE SAYS Ultimate Victory Seen as New Fight Is Begun by State Forces. Undismayed by repeal, trustees of the Indiana Anti-Saloon League yesterday approved plans for renewed efforts to return prohibition, with enforcement this time "from the people up, instead of from the top down." Principal speaker at the session was F. Scott Mcßride, Washington, Anti-Saloon League of America general superintendent, who declared repeal is doing more to make prohibition popular than anything that has happened thus far. "We are not through fighting," a resolution adopted at the meeting stated. "The advocates of liberalism are making much of their victory. Already they have demonstrated our contention that liquor is an outlaw. They have not even kept their own enactments. Say Saloon Has Returned "With an assurance to the public that the saloon should not return, essentially it has returned. It has invaded every public dining room of the state and brazenly has placed itself in show' windows of thousands of trading places. We do not rejoice that our prophecy has come true. We hang our heads in sorrow that what we feared most has come to pass. ’ Mr. Mcßride, in his address, pointed out that the wets now. - are on the defensive and will be held responsible for their own "dire and drrauful business.” He urged no letup in efforts to restore prohibition through hard work, unit by unit, town by town, city by city, and state by state. Officers named by trustees were Bishop H. H. Fout. White River conference bishop of the United Brethren church, president for a fourteenth term; the Rev. W. W. Wiant, North B.

Works of Fumed Artists Displayed

BV HELEN LINDSAY s Time* Staff Writer ORIGINAL paintings by Gainsborough. Raeburn and Corot have been brought to Indianapolis and are seen in the Charles Mayer store exhibit which opened yesterday. The most valuable of these paintings, all of which are heavily covered by insurance, is a portrait of Sir Francis Greville. first earl of Brooke and Warwick, by Gainsborough. Second to this painting is a portrait of Lord Robert Blair, by Raeburn. Both of these are recorded in books on artists of this peridd. Gainsborough was one of the thirty-six original members of the Royal Academy, which was founded in 1768. and painted most of the eminent men of the day. He was a favorite of the king and royal family of England from 1769 to 1783. and at his death in 1788 was buried in Kew churchyard. The painting of Sir Francis Greviilp. which is shown in the Mayer exhibit, is characteristic of the portraits of the day. It was made during the period in which Gainsborough painted at Bath, during which time he is said to have produced many of his best portraits. a a a THE subject of the outstanding Raeburn painting was Robert Blair, fourth son of the Rev. Robert Blair, author of a once famous poem in blank verse, "The Grave.” Robert Blair frequently is mentioned in Cockburns "Memorials of His Time.” The landscape painted by Corot, which is shown in the exhibit, is characteristic of the work of this artist. Corot was leader of the Barbizon school of painting, which produced, among other artists, Millet and Daubigny. Corot's "Dance of the Nymphs” is hanging now in the Louvre. Senator Clark. New' York, left to the Smithsonian Institute a landscape by Corot for which he paid $90,000. The small landscape in the Mayer exhibit is registered and recorded in Robaut’s book on Corot. Twenty winter landscapes, of Switzerland and Russia, were in the private collection of the late czar of Russia. They were the work of I. F. Choultse, court painter. In the group of paintings at Mayer’s is one of this artist's work, a winter landscape, similar to those painted for the czar, fchoultse now’ is living in Paris. a a a ONE of the most unusual paintings in the Indianapolis exhibit is a painting of a child carrying flowers, by W. Bouguereau, which is titled "Springtime." Bouguereau is recognized in art circles as the world's greatest draftsman. He was master of a school in which many famous artists were students. His work is exceptional for its form and for the flesh tints of the hands and feet. The exhibit at Mayer’s, open to the public, probably will continue for several weeks.

DENIES OXNAM CHARGE GADETS DISLIKED DRILL Legion Chief Cites Vote Showing Unanimous Support by Corps. De Pauw university student cadets voted 114 to 0 favoring education advantages of the R. O. T. C. course at a time when Dr. G. Bromley Oxnam, university president, severely scored military science on the grounds that student interest was negligible. This was charged today by V. M. Armstrong, American Legion state commander, who made public a questionnaire sent to the De Pauw corps in 1932 by Ray Lyman Wilbur, then secretary of the interior. The university board of trustees, falling in line with Dr. Oxnam’s policies with only two dissenting votes, voted Tuesday night to abolish the corps. Other questions that Dr. Oxnam had attacked frequently were upheld by the student vote, it was charged. Questions and polls follow: “Does the R. O. T. C. contribute anything important to one’s education?” Yes, 112; no. 2. “Was the time spent justified by the results?” Yes. 112; no, 0. “Does R. O. T. C. training tend to develop a military attitude?” No, 110; yes, 1. “Would you require two years of R. O. T. C. work?” Yes, 97; no, 14. “Would you make it optional?” No, 75; yes. 17. “Does the R. O. T. C. have a definite educational value?” Yes, 114; no. 0. “Would you abolish it altogether?” No, 100; yes, 0. Rumors that many students would seek a change in schools if the war department followed the university's request for withdrawal have been current. Colonel Thomas H. Sherburne, chief of staff of the Eighty-fourth division, organized reserves, said yesterday that a number of other schools will request the unit.

By T'nitnl Press BERLIN, Jan. 25.—The United States and Great Britain stood virtually alone today in their defense of Germany's long-term creditors and their stiff opposition to discrimination in favor of Holland and Switzerland. British and American bondholders. demanding proof that Germany can not pay at least half of the interest on her debts, were to have met with Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, head of the Reichsbank. Internal dissension, perhaps, appeared to have prevented Dr. Schacht from greeting the delegates. and it was reported that he had been “called away to Silesia,” from which he may return if needed.

GOVERNOR AND STANDARD OIL LAWYERJMER Counsel for Company Seeks End of Dispute Over Closing Stations. Attorney Buell F. Jones, Chicago, representing the Standard Oil Company, yesterday conferred with Governor Paul V. McNutt in an effort to end the controversy regarding closing of 800 filling stations in Indiana because of the $l5O chain store tax. The Governor intimated that this move probably was made by the company to avoid keeping the stations operating under the NRA code in regard to wage payments and hours. He pointed out that the state store tax would cost them but 45 cents a day. Following today's conference, Mr. Jones issued a statement on the company stand from the office of Clarence E. Jackson, store and income tax collector. Mr. Jackson pointed out that Standard Oil is the state's largest taxpayer and Mr. Jones estimated the amount at $5,000,000 annually, including gasoline taxes. The statement set out that “economics" and not "politics” dictated the company's action and continued; "The 800 service stations on which leases are being canceled by the Standard Oil Company or at least a large percentage of them, will probable continue to operate with the same number of employes as those now employed, except that they will be operated by the individual owner of the station. "The Standard Oil Company simply arrived at the conclusion that they could not afford to pay the i additional license fee and operate these stations themselves and admitted that this additional license fee was one over which neither the Governor nor the present executive department had any control. "Standard Oil Company will con* tinue to operate and pay a stor* license fee on over four hundred stations in Indiana.”
