KLAN MEETING PUTS G. 0. P. MEN IN DUTCH’ Candidates Busy Explaining Presence at Ku-Klux Session Here. COFFIN INTRIGUE HINTED Observers See Political Trick in ‘Blue Card Invitations.’ BY DICK MILLER Tim** JMaft Writer. Uneasily suspecting that they have hern the victims of political strategy, more than a score of city and county' Republican candidates today were busy explaining that “some body is trying to hang the klan label on us.” A blue card bearing the cryptic O. K of one “Doc” was the "open sesame” to a meeting yesterday at 210 1 East Ohio street at what was touted as a “combined meeting of three patriotic groups.” The candidates, twenty-eight Republicans and a lone Democrat, polished up their oratory, marched to the appointed address and prepared to corral a few votes. “Doc's” card worked fine. But after they got inside, some of the candidates began to perceive there was more to the meeting than met the eve. They soon were addressed by - Doc” Farrell, national fepresentative of the Klu-Klux Klan. Refer to “100 Per Centers” Some of the candidates “tumbled.” In the vernacular, they “took it on the lam” away from there bofore they were introduced. Others, more bold or not averse to capitalizing on the meeting, sprinkled short talks with references to “100 per cent Americans” and pledged to appoint only such aninted. If elected to office. Presiding over the meeting, attended by a crowd estimated variously at from 250 to 800 persons, was Paul Ford. Mr. Ford was described as the Indiana head of the Junior Order of United American Mechanics. Also a speaker was Oren Davis, president of the Knights of America and former head of the Marion County Horsethief Detective Association, a group closely identified with the klan in its heydey. Denny Aids Invited Although its was announced organizations have been perfected in every ward and precinct, there was nA mention made, it was learned, of indorsement of a mayor candidate. However, observers pointed out the fact that six ward chairmen of the Republican Union, a George Denny organization, had been invited. It also was pointed out that candidates making only minor offices were asked to speak, and several well-known Republican politicians present weer ignored when the oratory flowed. Aside to repeated reference to “100 per cent Americans.” there was another incident which inclined observers to the belief that the Klan is rearing hs head aeain. One candidate made a request for support, pointing out that his two opponents are Catholics. Morgan Flavs Candidates Reeking clews to what lay behind the meeting checked the list of candidates who attended. The list fails to reveal any known to have organization support. Leland C. Morgan, a Republican candidate for prosecutor, today charged the meeting was an attempt t* gain control of the Republican party. He was one of those who received a blue card, but did not attend. “I regret the fact that, certain candidates attended the meeting.” Mr. Morgan said. “We can not allow the Klan or any group with principles of racial or religious intoranre to gain strength within the party. Candidates who attended and wish they hadn't are wondering if they weren't the victims of a smart political trick. They wonder if the whole affair wasn't engineered by that master political stretegist. George V. <Cap> Coffin, as an attempt to label those attending a klansmen or klan sympathizers. “And I walked through the rain to go, too,” said one mourner regretfully.

SECRET QUIZ OF LINDBERGH IRKSG. 0. P. Denied Testimony, Senator Hurls Charge of Plot in Air Mail War. OPEN NEW BIDS FRIDAY Adequate Planes Lacked by Independents, Says . Rickenbacker. BY KENNETH WATSON Times Special Writer. WASHINGTON. April 16—Balked in efforts to have testimony taken at a secret examination of Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh made public, Republican senators tomorrow will try again to substantiate claims that cancellation of air mail contracts represented the successful culmination of a high-powered lobby of independent operators. Senator Warren Austin (Rep.. Vt.) said he expects to question T. E. Braniff, president of the Braniff Airlines, Inc., Oklahoma City, when the Black investigating committee resumes its hearings Tuesday. Ttye Vermont senator contends that Mr. Braniff and his associates plotted to have contracts cancelled and legislation changed so they could “chisel in” on the air mail subsidies. Both Senator Austin and his Republican colleague on the committee, Senator Wallace H. White Jr. of Maine, on Saturday directed a letter to Chairman Hugo L. Black demanding that secret questioning of Colonel Lindbergh by Colonel C. A. Ristine, of the justice department, be made public tomorrow. While in refusing this request Senator Black indicated he would request the full committee to pass on the matter, it apparently is a foregone conclusion that his two Democratic colleagues will side with him„ Investigator Excluded Senator Austin made his demands when he was apprised that Colonel Lindbergh had been examined by Colonel Ristine on March 16 following his appearance before the senate committee. It was also said that A. C. Patterson, committee investigator, had been excluded from the conference following objection by Colonel Lindbergh. Although the senate on Saturday sidetracked the permanent air mail legislation in favor of the Sumners municipal bankruptcy bill, Senator Kenneth D. McKellar (Dem.. Tenn.) today predicted passage of the Mc-Kellar-Black air mail bill by vhe senate this week. Meanwhile Harllee Branch, second assistant postmaster-general, in announcing the determination of the postoffice department to open bids for temporary air mail routes on Friday, predicted today that fully 80 per cent of the old routes will be under operation again by June 1. At present the army is flying but 25 per cent of the schedules. Bids Openpd Friday “The postoffice department, will publicly open the bids Friday noon and will let contracts as soon after that as the bids can be analyzed,” Mr. Branch said. Terms provide that, operators awarded temporary contracts must have their lines in operation within thirty days after approval. All of the temporary contracts will be for three months only, but the department can grant two extensions so that the total seivice may reach nine months. On returning. from his Florida vacation trip, the President indicated he did not plan to take any steps w r hich would obviate the necessity of opening bids for temporary operation of air mafl routes. He expresesd unfamiliarity with details of a house proposal giving operators whose contracts were annulled until Jan. 1. 1935. to reorganize without jeopardizing their rights when permanent legislation is adopted.

The Goldsborough monetary authority measure. Any tinkering with the administration's monetary policy through silver remonetization legislation. Danger of disagreement on tax revision bill lay in the path of leaders striving to fulfill the President's desire to have congress close up shop in six weeks. Other developments at the White House conferences included indications that permanent air mail legislation would not be pushed vigorously at this session and that amendment of the "truth in securities" amendment might be classed as “vital legislation." Seventeen house leaders attended the three-hour Sunday conference, leaving shortly before midnight.

Leon Trotzky, Plotting World Revolt, Goes Into Hiding Following Raid

By United Prett PARIS, April 16.—Leon Trotzky. immersed in plans for a Fourth Internationale designed to keep the world in constant revolutionary turmoil, apparently had fled today before the menace of White Russian enemies. The villa in the Fontainbleau forest, where Trotzky sought refuge with bodyguards and two fierce police dogs, showed no signs of life after yesterday’s surprise raid by police which revealed Trotzky had found refuge near Paris. Neighbors said Trotzky had left last night in a big automobile for an unknown destination and was not seen to return. The motorcycle

it already is in existence and has headquarters in various parts of the world, including one in New York,” Eastman said. “This raid on Trotzky may have been engineered by reactionary elements in the government to force expulsion of Trotzky from France. I knew that Trotzky was in France, but none of his friends knew his exact address. He had his mail sent to another address and carried to Barbizon by courier. He had offered to report regularly to the police, but they informed him it was unnecessary. “Trotzky lived in secrecy because he is in fear of his life. He has had threats of assassination and there are many White Russians in France who hate him.” Eastman was the translator of Trotzky’s monumental work, “The History of the Russian Revolution.” He has been in close personal touch with Trotzky for many years.

Made Moneg for Butler , Ousted Dean Baileg Says Reasons Given for Dismissal ‘Smoke Screen,’ He Charges —Dr. Athearn’s Friends Face Removal. Offering statistics to prove that his summary dismissal from the faculty of Butler university, because of “financial conditions,” merely was a smoke screen, Dean Albert E. Bailey today asserted that his department lias made money for the university.

In a letter addressed to Dr. James W. Putnam, acting president of Butler, Dean Bailey asserted that not only have the evening and extension courses under his jurisdiction shown a profit for the first time in many years, but that the attendance has increased. Dismissal of the educator was accomplished, apparently, without the “downtown office” of the institution being advised. Several members of the board of trustees professed surprise when first queried of verification of the report that Dean Bailey had been let out. “If Dean Bailey has been dismissed,” one tustee said Saturday, “it must have been done by Dr. Putnam. The board did not vote on the question." North Central Probe Hinted Dismissal of all Butler university faculty members who came to the institution with Dr. Walter Scott Athearn, ousted persident, was predicted on the campus today. At the same time it was learned that a meeting of the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools will be held in Chicago this week, it is expected that the Butler situation will be discussed at the meeting. In his letter to Dr. Putnam, Dean Bailey said in part: “You will note that there is a fair increase (135 or 8% per cent over last year in the number of class registrations, a slight increase in the number of different persons enrolled, an increase of $3,462.48 or 1? per cent in the amount of tuition fees received, and a net profit on operations after all expenses have been deducted.” Dr. Bowman Released For the coming year, Dean Bailey urged a continuation of “the policy of wide service to the city” and a publicity budget for the evening and extension courses. Dr. Ernest L. Bowman will not be given a contract to continue as registrar and examiner at the university, it was learned today. University officials indicated that a socalled “consolidation of work in departments to conform with a decreased budget,” will involve other dismissals of educators who came to the university w’ith Dr. Athearn. One of the professors to be dismissed, it was learned, is Dr. Walter Bachman, head of the department of religion in the college of liberal arts and professor of religious education in the graduate college of religion. In addition to Dr. Bowman, Dean Bailey and Dr. Bachman, Frederick (Fritz) Mackey, head football coach and director of intra-mural athletics. it was learned, will not be given anew contract for next year. Although university officials declared that the faculty members were not dismissed because of their know-n loyalty to Dr. Athearn and blamed the wholesale “firing” on decreased budgets, at least one of the educators, Dean Bailey, predicted his dismissal more than six months ago when Dr. Athearn was relieved of his duties. % Putnam Writes Letter In dismissing' Dean Bailey, the university adopted different tactics than were used in the sudden dismissal of Dr. Athearn. In the case of Dr. Athearn. notification of his dismissal wae given by a committee representing the board of directors. In the cases of the other educators, notice of of

courier who had been Trotzky’s contact with the outside world did not make his daily visit, and it w'as assumed he would make contact with Trotzky at anew hideout.

By United Prett NEW YORK, April 16. The Fourth Internationale aimed to foment revolutions against bourgeois governments already is functioning in the United States, it was disclosed this afternoon in connection with yesterday's police raid on the refuge of Leon Trotzky in France. The Fourth Internationale has headquarters in New' York and in other parts of the world, according to Max Eastman, close friend of Trotzky. The French police were told by Trotzky that he was working on the Fourth Internationale in his French retreat at Barbizon. “It is aimed at real world revolution,” Eastman said. “The Fourth Internationale may be new to the capitalistic press, but

contracts came in a letter from Dr. James W. Putnam, acting president. Dean Bailey announced that he will remain at the university until the end of the school year in order that students in his classes may complete their curriculum work. Dismissal of Dr. Athearn last October, which, it is alleged, precipitated the present dismissals, caused considerable consternation at the university when Dr. Athearn charged that the university was “bossed” by the “downtown office.” After a refusal of the board of directors to give him a hearing, Dr. Athearn subsequently filed suit against the school for SIOO,OOO damages, alleging that his reputation had been impaired and that he now is unable to obtain employment in the field of education. AIRDALE GETS DEATH SENTENCE REPRIEVE One Time National Champion of Breed Escapes Chloroform. By United Press TOPEKA, Kan., April 16. Pal O’Cragsman, national champion airdale, wagged a friendly tail today when Dr. C. W. Bower, veterinarian, patted his head and congratulated him on escaping the death sentence. Pal didn’t know, but when his mistress, Mrs. Rolla J. Parker, died last week it was decreed that he should be chloroformed. Mrs. Parker feared he might not be given a good home after her death. Today, however, John E. Kirk and John Purcell, executors of Mrs. Parker’s estate, notified Dr. Bower to spare Pal. Mrs. Parker's worry was that “Pal might not have a good home,” Kirk explained. “As we are sure of providing for his comfort in his old age. we feel justified in preventing his death.”

STATE PROBES LOAN SHARKS Automobile Mortgage Firms Face New Inquiry; Usury Charged. BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer. A state-wide drive to expose loan sharks, particularly in the automobile mortgage field, was launched today by the state department of financial institutions. Attention of the department has been called to the fact that dealers in automobile mortgages are entirely without the law and many are alleged to be charging highly unsurious interest rates. Decision to make the survey was announced by Herman B. Wills, director of banks and the division of research and statistics. Sufficient data is expected to be accumulated to provide the next session of the state legislature with information upon which to base anew law bringing automobile and other now unregulated loans within the jurisdiction of the department and thus halt the excessive rates said to be charged, Mr. Wells explained. Claim 50 Par Cent Charged Some reports were that these exceeded 50 per cent or more in certain cases. Under the last petty loan law the r&te is 3' 2 per cent up to $l5O and 2*2 per cent over that amount on loans of S3OO or less. The law also set up a special department to investigate rates and assume jurisdiction over the small loan business. This is in charge of Homer O. Stone, who has enlisted the licensed dealers in the drive against those beyond the law. Mr. Stone sent all registered petty lenders a questionnaire asking them to give the names of automobile and lenders in their community which now are operating without a state license; pawnbrokers, mortgage buyers and individual lenders. Banks Asked to Help Similar questionnaires went to building and loan associations from E. C. Bucher, building and loan supervisor, and to all state banks from Mr. Wells.

“Tlfese legitimate institutions are anxious to stamp out the unlicensed and usurious lender,” Mr. Wells declared. “They realize that it detracts from their business, hurts the borrower and benefits no one but the person making the loan at unlawful rates.”
