This statement was made today ' in a letter by R. A. McKinley, department director, to Fred Hoke, Indiana housing administrator.

First Loan Granted Franklin Clark. 358 Hanson avenue. today is the recipient of the first federal housing loan in Indiana ! for modernization of a home. The loan, as reported to the federal housing administration state headquarters, was for $248 and was made bv the Peoples State bank. Mr. Clark's application showed that he borrowed the money for house renovations, including the addition of a porch. He has been an employe of the Capitol Lumber Company twenty-three years. Because it was the first loan in the state, something of a ceremony was made of the transaction. Fred Hoke, state housing administrator; Donald B. Smith, housing liaison officer, and Felix M. McWhirter, Peoples bank president, watched the signing of the application by Mr. Clark and the handing over of the check by Frank E. McKinney, casher. M’Kinney Is Speaker E.

At the present time there are approximately twice as many applications for loans from the HOLC as there is money available, he explained. • It devolves upon the financial institutions to do their part by assuming their share of the burden of refinancing and carrying morteages of those home owners who are of good moral character and deserving." Mr. McKinney said. Hoke Plans Campaign A campaign to acquaint the public with the purposes and benefits of the new federal housing act will be conducted by the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce. Fred Hoke, state housing administrator, announced today. "In view of the outstanding work done bv the chamber in both the modernization and NRA campaigns last vaer.

Urge Temporary Silos By I imr* Special LAFAYETTE, Aug. 18.—The use of temporary silos by Indiana farmers to provide a ready means of conserving the entire corn plant for feed during an emergency of feed shortage is advocated by S.

MINTON FLAYS ‘LITTLEARTHUR’ Democrat Nominee Defends Party at Watermelon Festival. Defending the treatment of the Constitution at the hands of the national administration, Sherman Minton, Democratic nominee for the United States senate, last night tossed some "rinds” from an Irvington watermelon feast into Senator Arthur R. Robinson’s back yard. As guest speaker in the Fourth precinct of the Eighteenth ward, Mr. Minton addressed a crowd of 300 in Senator Robinson's home precinct at an annual watermelon supper. "There is nothing in this campaign to cause fear for the safety of the Constitution,” Mr. Minton declared, “unless ft is the danger that the Constitution may be given back to those who so badly administered government under it and who forgot that its protections hold sacred the li/e, liberty and happiness of the people.” The Democratic candidate contended that there are two things to be afraid of in the campaign and election. "If the forces of reaction—the old standpatters—gain control and again misuse the Constitution, or if President Roosevelt does not receive all the support due him for the completion of his humanitarian projects, you well may have cause for fear,” Mr. Minton asserted.

Air-Rescue Son of ‘Air-Minded’ Family Flies to Aid of His 111 Sister.

AN “air-minded” son of an “air-minded” family came to the rescue of one of its members yesterday and performed a mission of mercy and necessity. Mrs. William R. Hopkins, 3179 Graceland avenue, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. O. C. Herdrich, 3162 North Capitol avenue, was in Louisville, Ky., yesterday as a member of the Hoosier Athletics Club swimming team. Just before entering a meet with the Louisville Y. W. C. A., Mrs. Hopkins was stricken with appendicitis. She telephoned her family of her plight. In less than an hour her brother, Franklin Herdrich, who recently received his commission as second lieutenant in the United States army air corps reserve, took off from Capitol airport in a borrowed open-cockpit plane, with his mother, Mrs. Herdrich, as passenger. Meanwhile. Mrs. Hopkins had been taken to the Louisville airport. When the plane landed, she was placed in one of the cockpits, propped in carefully with pillows. The trio returned to Indianapolis. scarcely three hours after Mrs. Herdrich learned of her daughter’s condition. A successful appendectomy w-as performed last night at Methodist hospital.

Mr. Markun said, has declined to reveal how much the firm had on deposit with them without a court order.

WORLD'S EYES ARE PINNED DN GERMAN VOTE Hitler Has Lots to Lose. Nothing to Gain, Simms Points Out. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scripps-How ard Foreign Editor WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.—Washington and other world capitals tomorrow will watch Adolf Hitler’s strange plebiscite as just another theatrical gesture on the part of the amazing man—a gesture which settles nothing and changes little, either inside or outside of Germany. By a coup d'etat, liberal use of the firing squad and the death of Field Marshal-President Von Hindenburg, Hitler already has elected himself as the all-highest of the third reich. The voting tomorrow' theoretically is designed to demonstrate popular approval. No other issue is before the German people. Such being the case it is regarded as significant that his crucial speech at Hamburg last night, a speech which, it is estimated, was heard by at least 30.000.000 of the 45,000,000 voters, specifically warned his listeners on two points: First, he said, "Criticism has no vital function” any longer in Germany, and, second, that any attempt to disturb or overthrow the Nazi state—and he has characterized himself as the Nazi state—would be met by instant retaliation. He Has Plenty to Lose Nevertheless and notwithstanding, Herr Hitler has considerable to lose and nothing to gain, at least morally, in tomorrow's plebiscite. When he withdrew from the League of Nations and the disarmament conference last year he called a referendum and received a vote of approximately 40,000.000. Tomorrow Hitler must receive at least that many votes of approval to pass the test. If he receives less it will be of the utmost significance. For never have the instruments of propaganda, the Nazi, radio and public rostrum been more intensely used than to round up the votes. Every German voter now has ample cause to know that Hitler puts them all into categories—those for him and his enemies. If Hitler receives more than 40, g 000.000 votes, under existing conditions, it will mean nothing. It is only to be expected. In European capitals the impression in gaining that the plebiscite was staged largely to exploit to the full Hindenburg’s political testament, which, in effect, willed the reich to Hitler. In no other way could it have been dramatized so effectively. And after the murders of last June, the slipping Nazi Fuehrer needed the support of the dead hand of the late hero. Authenticity Questioned But today the authenticity of the Hindenburg testament is being questioned. British, French and other newspapers abroad stress its strange phrasing, the delay in making it public and the unprecedented conditions under which its contents were made known to the people. Authentic or not, Hitler can not abide by it 100 per cent and forever remain German dictator. Hindenburg frankly nailed to the mast the flag of his faith in the monarchy, and indicated just as clearly that Chancellor Hitler should be only the stepping stone to that destiny. Hitler himself in his last appeal to the German nation reiterated his pledge that there shall never be another president of the reich. Only Hindenburg should have that honor. Perhaps Hitler plans to play regent as well as dictator pending a new deal in Germany. Farmer Is Crushed Bn United Press MARION, Ind., Aug. 18.—Crushed against timbers at the top of a barn door by a load of baled straw on which he was riding, J. W. Richards, 55, farmer near here, was killed instantly late yesterday.

PRESIDENT BARS POLITICS AMONG U. S. jMPLOYES Issues Sweeping Order for Adherence to Civil Service Laws. BY THOMAS L. STOKES Timr, special \\ ritrr WASHINGTON. Aug. 18 —President Roosevelt declared his intention today to purge the government service of politics. He decreed a general ban against political activity by government employes. and pledged himself to preserve and strengthen the civil service merit system. This action came as the climax of a long campaign, instituted several months ago, to divorce government and political business, which has been only partially successful The most notably exception to the reform movement is PostmasterGeneral James A. Farley, who continues to retain his political past as chairman of the Democratic national committee. Nobody inquired specifically of the Farley case when the President, at a press conference, disclosed his desire that the ban against politics in some departments and government agencies be extended to cover all. In the past the President usually smiles when this question is raised. Instructions to Follow Mr. Roosevelt's attention was called to the fact that some new agencies, including the public works, administration and the agricultural adjustment administration, had not issued specific orders against political activity by employes. Some of these workers are not under ci\ ll service. The prohibition of political activity should be made general, he said, including those not in the civil service, and he added that lie would issue the necessary instructions. The national federation of federal employes recently has been complaining bitterly, in statements and editorials, that the civil service system is being broken down by “spoilsmen’’ who arc trying to capture civil service jobs to reward political henchmen. ‘Spoils’ Charge Hurled "On every front the spoilsmen are pushing forward,” the federation declared. “The hordes of job-seek-ers are being accommodated. Thousands are being placed, or already have been placed. It is fallacious to assume that the drive of the spoilsmen has been successful only in the new federal agencies.” The campaign to separate government business and politics began several months ago when a few national committeemen who had set up law offices here became conspicious with their claims of “pull” and “influence” with the administration. They were doing a lucrative business which approached the proportions of a racket. President Roasevelt quite bluntly expressed his abhorrence of such practices, and several resignations followed. Most sincere in carrying out the orders has been Treasury Secretary Henry A. Morgenthau. He has done what appears to be a rather thorough job of housecleamng. Numerous resignations of national committeemen and collectors of internal revenue have occurred in-his department.
