10 CANDIDATES ARE UNOPPOSED IN BALLOTING 8 Democrats, 2 Republicans Handed Nominations by Parties. Ten candidates whose names were carried through the primary yesterday. today had the advantage of a good night's sleep while hundreds of other political office aspirants tossed and fretted after a hard day at the polls. Eight Democrats and two Republicans were on the list of the political elite who did not have to worry about being nominated, because they were unopposed. With yesterday's primary apparently on its way to establishing a. record for a long count, many of the candidates still will be in doubt of their position in the race at this time tomorrow. Political party headquarters already have simmered their tabulation work to a few of the close races, dropping even many of the major offices in which the organizations fee] that victory is assured Representative Louis Ludlow* was the candidate who headed the unopposed Democratic list. This was Ludlow’s fourth nomination to congress from the party. In the Marion county race. Judge Joseph R. Williams, superior court two incumbent, made a solo flight as did Judge William A. Pickens in superior court three, and Judge Frank P. Baker in criminal court. Glenn B. Ralston was nominated for the second time as circuit court clerk; Harry H. Bloemker carries the honors of being the nominee for surveyor, and Harry F. Hohlt will fight for his seat, in the*city council from the Third district in the fall. Harry Hill of Edinburg, a Democrat, was unopposed in his candidacy as nominee for joint state : representative from Johnson and Marion counties. On the Republican ticket, Daniel j M. L. Voyls was nominated without I opposition as county councilman j from the First district, and Charles i H. Over as county councilman from j the Second district. POSTOFFICE TO SEEK NEW U. S. AIR MAIL Extensive Advertising Drive Will Be Launched. BY KENNETH WATSON Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, May 9.—With commercial operations restored on four routes and a program perfected for rapid expansion of the air mail map on a Larger scale than ever before, postoffice officials today announced plans for a big advertising drive to popularize the air mail. ‘Government artists are now at work preparing striking posters which will be placed in all postoffices and distributed among chambers of commerce and business houses in every section as soon as all the routes are in operation,” said Harlee Branch, second assistant postmaster-general. He predicted that before the end of June a total of thirty-one routes will be in operation. The new system, serving four states and sixteen cities never before on the air mail map. will cover approximately 28.548 miles, or about 3.300 more than when contracts were canceled Feb. 9. The posters will stress the extent of the new system and probably new low lates. Present air mail postage is 8 cents for the first ounce, but j the postoffice has told both the sen- j ate and house postal committees that the 5-cent rate in the latter’s I bill will be acceptable. Asa result, j it is expected that the 5-cent rate j will be agreed upon, although the senate bill calls for 6 cents. By such a cut the postoffice hopes to increase air mail revenue by about $1,000,000 annually. MICHIGAN MOOSE HERD RAVAGED BY WEATHER' 90 Per Cent of Band Killed by j Bitter Cold. I s Report.

Although the counting of yesterday’s Marion county primary is far from complete, several surefire and and other probable winners apepared today in the county lineup. Representative Louis Ludlow was handed his fourth Democratic nomination to congress on a silver platter by his party. He was unopposed for congressional renomination. Votes for Harry O. Chamberlin and Delbert O. Wilmeth, Republicans, for the Twelfth district congressional nomination seesawed during the early hours of counting. Wilmeth showed strength in the, first few precincts, but Chamberlin had forged ahead later. Republican bosses said they believed Wilmeth would be the winner due to the late start in Chamberlin's campaign, although the latter’s public office record stood him in good stead at the polls. A Democratic trio which did not have to fight for nomination was composed of Judges Frank P. Baker, William A. Pickens and Joseph R. Wiliams. Baker retains the nomination in criminal court. Pickens in superior court three, and Williams in superior court two. Glenn B. Ralston, county clerk, was unopposed on the Democratic ticket. Herbert M. Spencer, Democrat, and former assistant city attorney. was assured the nomination in his party’s race for prosecutor. Alexander G. Cavins, former assistant district attorney, and William Henry Harrison, attorney, are battling for the prosecutor nomination in the Republican party. Paul Rhoadarme^ former deputy prosecutor, tookthe lead early in the race for Republican nomination for superior court one and seemed capable of holding it.

By United Press WASHINGTON, May 9.—Assistant Secretary of War Harry H, Woodring today launched a fivepoint plan which may revolutionize methods by which airplanes are purchased for the army.

Mr. Woodring would curtail the air corps’ engineering plant, school and laboratories at Wright Field, 0., and throw open designing and construction of army planes to inventors and engineers throughout the country with a design competition.

Immediate purchase of approximately 150 pianes with remaining funds of the 1934 air corps appropriation and the $7,500,000 allotted from public works funds for the air corps. 2.

White of municipal court, room 2, told the Rotary club at its luncheon yesterday.

PRESIDENT EYES DEFAULT CRISIS Passage of Johnson Bill Complicates War Debt Situation. By United Press WASHINGTON, May 9—President Roosevelt was believed today to be moving to avert anew foreign debt crisis which the recently passed Johnson bil is expected to bring June 15. On that date semi-annual payments on war debts to the United State? are due from foreign nations. Debt defaulters, under the bill, are barred from obtaining new capital here. Whether nations making token payments June 15 will be classified under the Johnson bill as defaulters has not yet been clarified. Senator Hiram Johnson (Rep. Cal), author of the bill, says his opinion is that token payments are to be classed as defaults. (Copyright, 1934, by United Press') PARIS, May 9.—France is prepared to continue indefinitely as a war debt defaulter unless President Roosevelt is willing to accept a nominal token payment on the instalment due June ±5, it was indicated today.

HOUSE FAVORS BILL TO LIMIT RAIL DISPUTES Johnson Measure Prevents Utilities From Going to U. S. Courts. By United Press WASHINGTON, May 9—New Federal Trade Commission revelations of the underground political activity of public utilities found congressional reaction today in strong support for the Johnson bill which limits court fights in rate cases. House sentiment today appeared to favor the Johnson measure which has passed the senate. A weaker substitute proposed by the house judiciary committee seemed headed for defeat. The latest trade commission utility - report came as the house was in the midst of debate on the Johnson bill which prevents utilities from taking fights on rate decisions into the federal courts. Testimony that two executives of utilities affiliated with the North American Light and Power Company, Chicago, attempted to bribe a city (Boomington, 111.) councilman to defeat a municipal power election, was the latest trade commission finding. Frank Donovan, Bloomington councilman, made the charge in the commission’s investigation of publicity and propaganda policies of the North American system. He said the attempted bribery occurred just prior to an election April 1. 1930, when the municipal issue was successful.
