BOWERS MAY RETURN,LEAD '36 CAMPAIGN Hoosier Envoy to Spain Faces Recall for New Deal Duty. DISLiKES JOB, REPORT Indiana Politician's Oratory, Writing to Be Used, VanNuys Hints. BY lOF. COLLIER Times Staff Writer (Copyright, 1935, The Indianapolis Times.) Claude G. Bowers, native Indiana political figure, may be recalled Irom his post as amoassador to Spain soon so that his writing and oratorical ability can be used by the Administration in the 1936 campaign. This prediction was made today by Senator Frederick VanNuys, who is in Indianapolis for a series of political conferences. Bowers’ campaigning gifts will do the Administration no good so long as they are ,n Spain," Senator VanNuys said, "and I believe the Administration can use them to advantage. Unhappy, Senator Says ‘Then there's another reason for the recall, I suspect Claude is unhappy in Spain. His salary does not, pay his expenses and every time he entertains, as is obligatory, he has to go into his own funds to pay for it. 'I saw him when he was in Washington last time and he told me then that the business of being ambassador to Spain was not a financial success. He said then that he wanted to come back, and I believe his wishes are going to be respected." Mr. Bowers was sent to Spain as ambassador early in the Roosevelt Administration. He long had been a power in Democratic politics and was keynoter at the Houston convention that nominated A1 Smith. Previously he had been an editorial writer on the old New York World, and he is a biographer of note. Mr. Bowers was born in Hamilton County, Indiana Nov. 2, 1878. He attended Shortridge High School and distinguished himself in debate. Upon graduation he began his newspaper life as reporter and assistant editorial writer for the Indianapolis Sentinel. Secretary to Senator From 1903 to 190 b he was an editorial writer for the Terre Haute Star and during that time, in 1904. ran for Congress under the sponsorship of John E. Lamb. In 1911 he became secretary to Senator John W. Kern and continued in that capacity until 1917. In 1917, he became editor of the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. His literary fame spurted when he published "The Party Battles of the Jackson Period." In 1923 he went to the World. Other books by Mr. Bowers are "Jefferson and Hamilton the Struggle for Democracy in America,’’ issued in 1925: "William Maxwell Evarts,” in 1928; "The Tragic Era—the Revolution After Lincoln,” issued in 1929. He edited 'Diary of Elbridge Gerry Jr ." "Civil and Religious Liberty" and “Beveridge and the Progressive Era." POLICE INVESTIGATE SLUGGING OF WOMAN Restaurant Worker Knocked Down on Wav Home.

BRITISH DRAFT ANTI-WAR PLAN Thousands, Meanwhile, Go to Polls to Name New Commons. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scripps-Howard Foreign Editor WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.—As soon as circumstances permit after today’s elections in Great Britain, Foreign Minister Sir Samuel Hoare plans to attempt a world conference on the free distribution of raw materials to remove the chief cause of war. The life oi death of the League of Nations is seen as hanging upon a satisfactory solution of this and associated problems. War, it is held, can not be abolished until legitimate national interests can be satisfied by other means. Difficulties Are Enormous It has been intimated to the United States that the subject might be brought up at the naval conference beginning Dec. 5. in London. Unofficially Washington, however, has discouraged the idea on the ground that the naval conference faces plenty of grief without adding more. Sir Samuel, therefore, is expected to bring the matter up at Geneva if and when the Italian-Ethiopian war allows. The difficulties admittedly are enormous. Few qualified observers believe such a conference can succeed. Even the United States, perhaps the most favored of all the great powers, is not completely self-suffi-cient. A blockade shutting off such imports as rubber, antimony, manganese, tungsten, potash and so on, would spell trouble. Russia is similarly placed. Empire Is Self-Contained Great Britain, on the other hand, would quickly be paralyzed without foodstuffs, cotton, rubber, petroleum copper and many other materials. But—and this is where she differs from Italy, Japan and Germany, for example—she has colonies and dominions in every clime to ship her all she needs, plus a navy that can protect them, en route. The British empire, therefore, is self-contained with much to spare. She will continue to be as long as she controls the seas. Neither she, the United States. Russia nor any other self-sufficient power, therefore. is likely to make much headway at a raw-materials conference with such powers as Italy, Germany and Japan. For in war time—and that is what all fear—those who have are patently in a position to strangle or defeat those who have not. Britain at Polls By T'ailed Press LONDON, Nov. 14.—British voters chose today the men and women who will shape the country’s destinies in the House of Commons in months or years to come. It seemed certain that, the Con-servative-National Liberal-National Labor coalition of Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin would win a comfortable. if reduced, majority, on a platform which calls for loyalty to the League of Nations covenant, pursuit of the present policy in the Italian-Ethiopian crisis, and a big rearmament program which will cost between $500,000,000 and sl,000.000.000. Something more than 20.000.000 of the 14.780.261 men and 16.225,246 women voters were expect,, and to cast their ballots between 7 a. m. (1 a. m. Indianapolis time) and 9 p. m. <3 p. m. Indianapolis time). The first results will be known soon after the polls close; an accurate forecast of the compexion of the new House should be possible tomorrow morning.

Six ‘ Miracle * Cures Laid to Electric ‘Recall'Plan

By Science Srreire CHICAGO, Nov. 14.—Miraculous cures by which healers, saints and shrines build up reputations are paralleled by six almost instantaneous cures of hysterical paralysis reported by Dr. Abraham Myerson of Boston State Hospital in the Journal of the American Medical Association. In curing these helpless persons. Dr. Myerson used either the electric current, to "recall" the helpless part into consciousness, or anesthesia. With both treatments went encouragement, instruction and what the doctor himself calls “legitimate hocus-pocus" or trickery. Two of the six patients were football players injured on the field. One had received an injury to his spinal cord which set up a numbness of the and weakness, the phy-

GUARD RUSHED TO RIOT SCENE; WOMEN BEATEN Clothing Torn From Two as 150 Attack Plant in Mount Vernon. CLIMAXES BITTER WAR Troopers Leave by Plane to Quell Uprising in Garment Shop. By United Press MOUNT VERNON, Ind., Nov. 14. Clothing was torn from two women here today when more than 150 i strikers and sympathizers surrounded the plant of the Garment Corp. of America and refused workers entrance. The disturbance climaxed a six weeks’ strike of approximately 120 of 40C women employed at the plant. The strikers belong to the newly organized local of the United Garment Workers of America. Order Guard “Observers” Lieuts. Edward Mashmeyer and Paul Fechtman of the Indiana National Guard were dispatched from Indianapolis by Adj. Gen. Elmer F. Straub today as "observers" in the I strike. Thp men left by plane shortly before noon and will report to Gen. Straub. The adjutant general said he will keep the Governor's office informed. Women Workers Attacked Pauline Schroeder and Lela Mitchell, workers in the plant, were attacked by the picketers as they i attempted to enter the building. Both were virtually disrobed. Company officials immediately announced suspension of work at the | plant. Chief of Police Basil Cox indi- | cated charges would be filed against | the attackers if they are identified. The women strikers were accompanied by their husbands and apI proximately 25 miners from pits in | the area, Cox said. Peace Efforts Fail Several attempts have been made to halt the strike. Robert W. Cowdrill, regional director of the Federal Labor Relations Board, brought union and company officials together for a conference, but they failed to reach ; an agreement. The company suspended operI ations temporarily during another I disturbance at the plant and it has ; been reported the machinery and | equipment may be moved to Evans- ! ville.

STOCKS REACH BEST LEVELS IN 4 YEARS Rail and Steel Issues Lead in Heavy Trading. By United Press NEW YORK, Nov. 14. -Stocks spurted to the best levels in four years today in response to Secretary of Commerce Daniel Roper's statement reassuring business that the Administration’s reform program had been completed. Prices rose fractions to more than 4 points and trading ran at a pace of 5.000.000 shares f<?r a full session. Railroad and steel shares led the upturn which was shared in smaller proportions by all sections. New highs were made by dozens of issues. The Dow-Jones industrial average hit anew high since 1931. The other averages were just below their highs. For a time volume was so heavy that the tape was five minutes late. POISON DRINK VICTIM IN CRITICAL CONDITION Miss Pauline Lyell Drank Wood Alcohol Which Killed Three. The condition of Miss Pauline Lyell, 24, remained critical today in City Hospital from wood alcohol poisoning contracted when she and several others drank poison cocktails Sunday. Melvin Williams. 24. is reported as in fair condition. Three have died from the poison. The alcohol was found in an untenanted building and was mistaken for grain alcohol. Coroner William Arbuckle is conducting an inquest into the deaths.

sician explains. The numbness later disappeared but. a state of fear set in and the young man could not walk. Having satisfied himself after numerous examinations that this was the case, the physician explained the situation to the young man and told him he would be able to walk out of the office that same day. A powerful electric current was given to the muscles of the front of the leg. They contracted violently. The football player then was told to try to help the electric current and contract the muscles with each stimulation. In a short time the doctor shut the current off. The patient, not knowing this, kept on moving his leg. Convinced then that all was well, he walked out without difficulty.

Top-Notch Designers Don’t Outsmart Relief Stylists, WPA Show Reveals

BY HELEN LINDSAY Not a fashion writer in Indianapolis covered the most unique style show ever held here. Yet mannikins never walked down a runway with their hearts more in their models than did these. Schiaparelli never dreamed of the costumes in which they appeared. Augustabernard would have considered them decidedly “not the thing.’’ But to these women, who have lived for the last few’ years on relief, they were important garments, for they were all they had. The style show was given at the Brightw’ood Self-Help Center at the beginning of a sewing course W’hich meets three times a week, under the direction of Works Progress Administration. Its purpose was to find the needs of each woman, so her winter clothing would give the appearance of an assembled wardrobe, rather than of cast-off clothing. Yet that wardrobe was to consist of madeover clothing donated to the organization. From Relref Families Each student is from a family W’hich is on relief, or in which some member is employed on a WPA project. Each woman wore in this style show w’hat she had in preparation for winter. Some had only a dress or hat or a coat w’hich would serve in cold weather, and had to supplement these w’ith summer clothing. In the discussion period which followed, the teacher and other members of the class helped to work out a list of things which w ; ould make an attractive ensemble. Possibilities were limited to the materials which had been donated. General color schemes w'ere considered carefully. No matron visiting a de luxe department store considered combination of materials, styles and shades with more interest. When each individual wardrobe had been planned, the class started work. The w'ork is being done on four sewing machines. The women take turns using them, arranging their schedules so handwork can be done while others take their turn at the sewing machines. A similar style show w'as to be held this week for children, to

MANY SLAIN IN ETHIOPIA CLASH 300 Lives Lost in Battle on Somaliland Front, Italians Report. By United Press ROME. Nov. 14.—An important battle with heavy casualties on the Somaliland front and various engagements in the north were announced today in an official communique. The battle in the south, in the Fas Valley leading to the strategic town of Gorrahei, was the largest so far announced officially since the war started. Casualties were put at more than 300 Ethiopians and 15 native Italians killed. Sixty-three native Italians were wounded. The number of Ethiopian wounded was not given. An unidentified European also was among the casualties. Italy claimed the victory.

Emilio De Bono, coinmander-in-chief in East Africa, admitted "light losses" in various clashes in the north.

The Ethiopians surprised the Italian supply train in a narrowvalley well behind the lines, it w’as asserted, sweeping down a hillside. A large percentage of the guards with the train were killed, the government said, and the rest fled in confusion. The attackers were one of scores of guerrilla bands operating lar behind the Italian advance. Egyptian Riots Continue By United Press CAIRO. Egypt. Nov. 14.—One student wa' killed and nine were injured senously today in anew. savage clash with police. Today's riot brought the death list to three, with nearly 200 students and police injured. Authorities feared that the disorders would spread to the provinces despite extraordinary precautions by police and soldiers. Students still were striking against the government’s co-opera-tion with Great Britain in view of Egypt's continued subjection. In Cairo, Tanta and Port Said, scene of yesterday’s most serious disorders, the government took every precaution. The authorities are aware that the struggle for dominance in the Mediterranean, precipitated by the ItaloEthiopian war, has not only revived activities of anti-British groups, but has also emphasized the schism within the Wafd (Nationalist Party), of which Premier Nessim Pasha is a member.

Shanghai in Terror While Rumors of Invasion Grow Stronger. AWAIT NIPPON'S WORD Clarification of Attitude May Come Shortly From Tokyo. By 1 nited Prctt SHANGHAI, Nov. 14. Persistent rumors of impending- Sino-Japanese hostilities both in Shanghai and in North China threw this city of 2,000,000 people into panic today, although there- were no new developments in the tense situation to warrant the increased nervousness. In the native city of Chapei and also in the Japanese district of the international settlement, home cf about 30,000 Japanese, residents were greatly alarmed. Many thousands have fled southward. Taxicab owners, rikisha men and local express companies reportedly have exaggerated current rumors to stimulate their business, which has been booming. Widespread popular fear caused surprise among those conversant with the present state of SinoJapanese relations. It was because of the apparent relaxation of tension at Shanghai that Wu Te-chen, mayor of the city, postponed iris intended return here from Nanking, where he was attending the congress of the Kuonrintang, government party. The Japanese consul-general returned to Nanking from Shanghai today and called on Vice Minister Tang Yu-jen. The object of his visit, it was said, was merely to request that renewed efforts be made by the Chinese government to suppress anti-Japanese activities. Japan to Reveal Stand By United Brest TOKYO, Nov. 14.—Clarification of Japan’s official attitude toward a purported recent series of anti-Jap-anese incidents in Shanghai and elsewhere in China may be forthcoming when members of the cabinet return here Monday from army maneuvers in Kyushu, it was indicated today. Although the Shanghai episodes continued to cause some nervousness, it was generally believed problems arising in North China still are uppermost. It was believed likely all the Chinese incidents would be considered as one complex problem. Nippon Dempo news agency, meantime, reported from Miyazaki that War Minister Kawashima had visiteo Premier Keisuke Okada yesterday and delivered a full report of the army’s attitude on the Nanking government’s program of currency reforms. It was presumed the two officials also discussed recent Shanghai incidents. The newspaper Nichi Nichi reported it understood Kawashima contends Japan should take "positive measures” in the event the Chinese government's silver nationalization policy affects North China finances unfavorably and resultantlv depresses Japanese economic interests there.

According to one version, the postoffice has received instructions from Washington that the National Guard trucks are to be used, but are not to be operated by enlisted men. The question is. whether this refers to regular Army men or whether it also would exclude members of the militia. Gen. Straub said that he had specific instructions that the trucks are to be manned by guardsmen as private citizens, paid at the regular rates. The guard is to furnish new equipment Uais year and wants the regular man assigned to the truck to operate it during the holiday rush, he said.

Official Blessing of U. S. Bestowed on Nation by President. QUEZON TO TAKE POST Ceremonies Tomorrow to Mark Beginning of 10-Year Period. By Vnited Press WASHINGTON, Nov. President Roosevelt today extended the official blessing of the United States to the new Philippine commonwealth and wished the Filipino people good luck in the establishment of a democratic form of government on their Pacific Islands. The President signed and issued a proclamation terminating the existing government of the Philippines and establishing the commonwealth under a constitutional form of government. Establishment of the commonwealth marks the beginning of the end of the United States dominance in the Philippines which started with the battle of Manila Bay during the Spanish-American War. After the commonwealth has been in existence for 10 years the islands are to be granted complete independence. The commonwealth is to be formally inaugurated tomorrow at Manila. Dapper Manuel L. Quezon, who served his people for many years in the United States Congress as resident commissioner, will be the first president of the new government. Frank Murphy, who was governor general of the islands during the old regime, will be American high commissioner of the commonwealth. Mr. Roosevelt sent the following message to President Quezon: "I send my heartiest congratulations upon your inauguration as the first president of the commonwealth of the Philippines and ny best wishes for the success of your administration.” President Roosevelt signed the proclamation in the presence of Secretary of State Cordull Hull; Harry Woodring, assistant secretary of war. and Maj. Gen. Malin Craig, recently appointed chief of staff of the Army. Inauguration Tomorrow P.y I nihil Press MANILA. P. 1., Nov. 14.-The door to absolute independence swung open today to the Philippine Islands. At ceremonies attended by world governmental dignitaries, the United States' 'little brown brother" of the Pacific will step across the threshold tomorrow and start down a 10-year road to complete national sovereignty, the goal of generations of Filipino citizens and national leaders. President-Elect Manuel L. Quezon and Vice President Sergio Osmena will be inaugurated. Members of the Unicameral National Assembly will be sworn, then will gather in their first official session. Despite the troubled International scene and the clouds of war or potential conflict smudging half a dozen horizons, Filipino leader* viewed the future with confidence and optimism. U. S. to Keep Word Btf t nitnl Pr* St MANILA, Nov. 14. —The tutelage period designed to prepare the Philippine Islands lor independent selfgovernment was conceived by President McKinley nearly four decades ago when the United States came into possession of the islands as an incident of the Spanish-American War. Under the Tydings-McDuffie Act and the Philippine Constitution, the islands’ dependence begins Nov. 15. However, soma questions of future Philippine-American relationship remain to be decided. The Tydings-McDuffie Act provides that the United States shall surrender military bases in the islands, but that the future naval bases shall be subject to negotiations. U. S. to Uphold Trust Conceivably, events might shape themselves so that complete independence would not come in 1946. War. unforeseen internal disorders, intolerable economic conditions. might bring about circumstances which would cause a re-ex-amination of the indep°dence program. Just how the program might be changed depends upon the circumstances. Many American leaders. Including members of Congress and executive officials in Washington, have declared that the United States, being committed to Philippine independence in the Tydings-McDuffie Act, has made a bargain which can not be altered except by mutual agreement. This attitude is in harmony with the American idea of self-determi-nation of peoples, so that it is reasonable to forecast that the United States will not move arbitrarily to change the program except under most extraordinary circumstances
