J iinrt Special WASHINGTON, Dec. s.—Return of Gov. McNutt here today added impetus to the talk that he is being groomed for the post of Secretary of War in the Roosevelt cabinet upon his retirement from the governorship next year. The Governor declined comment, other than to say: “I am not a candidate for anything.” But the latest story here regarding his political future is that he will be one of the leading speakers for President Roosevelt during the campaign and the reward (providing results are satisfactory both in Indiana and throughout the country) will be the War Department portfolio. The vice presidency is definitely out of the picture, as all party chieftains anti, the President are agreed on retention of Vice President Garner. Gov.

After the session, at which George Creel presided as chairman, the Governor began a series of departmental conferences concerning state affairs. There were stops at the War Department.

QUINS HAVE THE EDGE

“Nurse" Dorothy Peterson (upper) and “Dr." Jean Hersholt. GLEEFUL QUINS WRECK SCRIPT Babies Prove Best Actresses in Troupe, Nervous. By United Press CALLANDER, Ont., Dec. 5 Members of the motion picture company here for production of “The Country Doctor," featuring the Dionne quintuplets, resumed their work before the cameras today, striving to emulate the infant stars and overcome their nervousness. With the quins accepting the presence of sound cameras, special lights, and strangers who insisted on dressing them, with the' greatest poise. Director Henry C. King and his staff were noticeably jumpy. Latest pictures of the “great actresses,” the Dionne quins, will appear in The Times tomorrow and Saturday. While Yvonne, Annette, Cecile, Emelie and Marie critically examined the changes made to their nursery and walked about the place without a suggestion of worry, cameramen, technicians, and featured players gave only fair performances of trying to appear nonchalant. Jean Hersholt, portraying Dr. Allan Roy Dafoe, found the strain of playing with such experienced troupers severe. In his first attempt to dress one of the babies he got the frock on backwards. Cecile showed her musical leanings when she jumped up and down, waving her arms, in perfect time to the singing of Miss Peterson's “Jack and Jill.” Mr. King said the babies were “wonderful actresses.” The dialog of the story is taking a beating, he admitted. The babies, showing a fine disdain for the written word, force Hersholt and Miss Peterson to ad lib constantly to fit the dialogue to the quins’ actions, which follow the script only as far as the famous girls decide. INDUSTRY'S CHIEFS HEAR LABOR'S SIDE Anti-New Dealers Listen to J. Warren Madden. By United Press NEW YORK.

NATURAL GAS URGED ON CITY BY ENGINEER Net Saving of $244,582 a Year in Operation Is Promised. SURVEY IS COMPLETED Consumers Would Profit, Utility Is Advised by Ohio Expert. Net savings of $244,581' a year in operation costs of the Citizens Gas and Coke utility by use of straight natural gas, with resulting rate reductions to consumers, is foreseen in an engineer’s report filed today with the utility. W. E. Steinweddell, Cleveland engineer, retained Oct. 8 by the utility, made the report after a survey. In spite of cost of conversion of customers’ appliances necessary because of the higher heating value of the natural gas, and including fixed charges of $160,000 on new investment, the use of straight natural gas holds greater promise of lower rates to both residence and commercial consumers than any other, the report states. Sees s’/l-Cent Cut The report suggested a general service natural gas rate schedule for domestic and commercial use calls for $1.50 for the first 500 cubic feet and $1.50 for the next 1500 cubic feet, with reductions as low as s'i cents per 100 cubic feet for large users. The report points out that natural gas, with its high heating value, is equal to nearly twice as much of the artificial gas now used. Indianapolis sends out about three billion cubic feet of gas a year and use of natural gas would lower the figure to 1,796,000,000 feet a year, the report says. Other methods whereby natural gas may be mixed with the present manufactured product are outlined by Steinweddell. In every case the saving would be less, he states. Engineers believe that the lower rates would result in an even greater consumption, particularly by large commercial users. A committee to investigate rates on gas and coke is to be appointed at the Indianapolis Federation of Community Civic Clubs tomorrow night, Paul C. Wetter, president, announced today.
