QUEZON FAILS TO TAKE ISSUE WITH HOWARD Conflicting Views Stirred Among U. S. Experts by Report. By f nit.efl Prr,** MANILA. P. I. Doc. n.—preni(lpiU Manuel L. Quezon tonight, took official cognizance of Roy Howard's newspaper articlp declaring that “the Filipino dream of independence is fading fast.” In a statement concerning the article. Mi' Quezon said simply that he had taken the oath of office, swearing to uphold the Commonwealth Constitution which provides for absolute sovereignty in 1946. “In any event,” he declared, “our task as a nation Is clear ... to make ourselves reasonably self-de-pendent and self-sufficient in every respect as soon as possible.” Observers believed it noteworthy that Mr. Quezon did not take issue with Mr. Howard's statement. Thp Manila. Bulletin, thp city's only American daily, will say editorially tomorrow' that Mr. Howard's article constitut’d "one of the most stank statements the Philippine press or the Philippine public ever has known. 'Mr. Howard summarizes his survey. an independently conducted and personally financed survey, of Pacific. political affairs by saying openly but courteously the very thing that every resident of the Philippines has heard expressed as a confidential and unpublishable opinion over and over again. Frank, honest, talk of this type in the past would have saved much of the blundering groping that characterized American Philippines policy and relationships.” The islands must not falter in I heir- 10-year independence program, other Manila newspapers commented. The Philippines Herald, an afternoon publication, carried a forceful editorial declaring the islands must drive ahead toward their goal. "Congress has outlined a definite program for us to accomplish." the Herald said. "The most sensible thing for us to do 1/ to set our hearts and souls on it and get it. done. . . . Who can tell now what course Far Eastern politics will take 10 years in the future? "Nobody—and that includes Mr. Howard.” The Vanguardia, Filipino-owned Spanish language afternoon paper, advanced a milder argument for continuing the program. Mr. Howard was right, the newspaper said, when he declared that a certain group in the islands w'ould like to see the Commonwealth government continue indefinitely.

Experts Are Divided By Serii>i>x-Hnirnrd Xrirspnper Atlinner NEW YORK, Dor. 11.—The Manila dispatch by Hoy W. Howard, chairman of the board of the ScrippsHoward newspapers, on the fading of the Filipino dream of independence, stirred vigorous discussion today among authorities on the Orient in New York. George Sokolsky, author of various books on the Orient, earnestly supported the findings of Mr. Howaid, while Raymond L. Buell. Foreign Policy Association president, took a stand in opposition. Mr. Sokolsky, long a resident in the Orient and an authority on its policies said: "Mr. Howard has the courage and perspicuity to hit the nail on the head. Quezon told me years ago in Shanghai that Phillipine independence would be dangerous. I think so, too. “It is not only a question of Japan's ambitions. Utter independence of the islands would so upset the balance of politics in the Pacific that other powers inevitably would be involved.” Mr. Buell said: . “Mr. Howard's report that the Philippines will ask indefinite continuance of the commonwealth form of government apparently is the opening gun in a campaign to keep the United States in Asia. I am opposed to this policy because it is directly contrary to the noninvolvement policy implied in our neutrality act. “If the United States is to be responsible for protecting the islands against Japan, it should retain control of the administration. But this is exactly what the Philippine politicians do not want." Tan Spills; Boy Scalded Richard Clemmens, 11, of 306 S. Holmes-av, received burns on his chest and abdomen today when he spilled a pan of hot water at his home. He was treated at City Hospital. His condition is rot serious.

On Feet Again Times Special SEYMOUR, Ind., Dec. 11.— Seymour police are back on their feet —and it's breaking the heart of Mayor C. W. Burkhart. When the last of tw'o delapidated autos fell apart yesterday, it meant that local bluecoats would ride no more. Henceforth they’ll walk their rounds, run if need be. Worst of all. the city's 1936 budget provides no funds for new cars. Moaned Mayor Burkhart: "We may as well close the department. We can’t even take prisoners to jail. If we sentenced a man we'll just have to give him his commitment papers and ask him to find some way to Browwistown, the county seat,”

Burlington County detective. was called into the Lindbergh case by ex-Gov. A. Harry Moore, Gov. Harold G. Hoffman said today.

Mr. Moore, now United States Senator, called in Mr. Parker at the instance of George M. Hillman Jr.. Moorestown Democratic state committeeman. Gov. Hoffman said. Mr. Hillman wTote a letter to Mr. Moore's secretary on March 11. 1932. advising that Mr. Parker had been working on the Lindbergh case and suggested it would be to the advantage of Gov. Moore to get in touch wdth him. Gov. Hoffman related. Three days later, on March IS, the Governor asserted. Mr. Moore wrote Mr. Parker, "requesting him to exercise all of his ability in connection with the Lindbergh case and stating that he w'ould be very glad to facilitate his efforts in any w ? ay possible.” Mr. Parker assured Mr. Moore in a letter on March 16. according to Gov. Hoffman, that “he would do everything within his pow'er to clear up the matter.” In a statement last week Mr. Moore was quoted as saying he had never called Mr. Parker into the case in any official capacity, but that Mr. Parker’s proffered services had been accepted along with those of hundreds of other detectives.

Coffin Rule Is Assailed by G. O. P. Group Seeking New County Leadership Speakers Use Harsh Language but Boss' Name Is Not Mentioned: John Bo' kwalter Urged for Chairman ,hip Post. BY .1 A? .£S DOSS George V. (Cap> Coffin, un.amed but sufficiently identified, was paraded before a representative group of Republican leaders yesterday as the chief obstacle to Republic n success in Marion County. Approximately 100 persons including precinct committeemen and eaders in civic and business life, held the first of a series of meetings

at. the Columbia Club being sponsored by a reform group within the party, which is seeking a change in leadership. Its specific objective is the election of John H. Bookwalter as , county chairman to succeed Wayne Emmelman, a Coffin lieutenant.' Every speaker at the luncheon religiously refrained from mentioning Boss Coffin by name and there were repeated assurances that the reorganization group "is not against any one but simply for the Republican Party.” However, allusions to Mr. Coffin, in frequently voiced demands for a change in leadership, were thinly veiled. Leadership Held Liability Former Judge Harry O. Chamberlin. expressing confidence in Republican success next fall, declared "we must have a leadership which the opposition can not use to beat our brains out with.” George R. Jeffrey, former United States attorney, demanded "a leadership that W'ould be an asset, instead of a liability.” Other speakers, voicing much the same thought, but in milder terms, were Howard Meyers, leorganization committee chairman; Herman Wolf, Edward Dietz. John T. Hume Jr., and Alf Meloy, former United States marshal. Mr. Bookwalter was given a glow- | ing introduction by Mr. Meyers, who | declared the Republican Party, under normal conditions, is the mv j .iority party in Marion County. However. Mr. Meyers declared, many representative Republicans have grown indifferent to participation in local party affairs because of its I one-man rule. Mr. Bookwalter Responds Mr. Bookwalter. w'hom he termed free of any taint of factionalism and acceptable to all major groups wbt’nin the party, w r as selected as the type of man most likely to fulfill the party’s need of a new' county chairman, Mr. Meyers said. Mr. Bookw'alter, son of former Mayor Charles Bookwalter, and a member of the firm of Bookwalter-Ball-Greathouse Printing Cos., responded and offered his services on the condition that a real desire for party reform continues to make itself evident. Meanwhile, spokesmen for the reorganization committee said they will continue their campaign to obtain pledges from precinct committeemen for Mr. Bookwalter’s election to succeed Mr. Emmelman. Hear Attack on Roosevelt Principal speaker at the meeting was Clarence Wills. Kokomo, former Howard County judge, who assailed j the Roosevelt. Administration vigorI ously for w'hat he termed its "reckless and mad spending.” President Roosevelt, he said, should have been impeached for his “intimidating” letter to the congressional committee having in charge the Guffey Coal Bill. An attempt to impeach the President w'ould have

been made. Mr. Wills said, had there been other than a puppet Congress in office. Warning of what he said was the imminence of a socialistic form of government. Mr. Wills declared the next election is a test of whether we shall main the Constitution. The practical issue, he said, is whpthcr taxation shall continue to mount.

INDIANA JOINED FEDERAL UNION 118 YEARS AGO State’s Colorful History Is Recalled Today in Ceremonies. (Continued From race One* 1812. a formal petition was presented asking admission of Indiana Territory into the union A House committee said that as soon as a consus showed a population of 35.000 in the territory, it could be admitted. Meeting in halls and in the Harrison County courthouse, the territorial assembly convened June 10 in Corydon to write anew state Constitution. One Representative, two Senators and three presidential electors were named. A census showrd the prospective state's population to be 63.897. The history of Indiana territory began in 1768 when an English lur trading company demanded reparations from the powerful Six Nations confederation of Indians for $500,000 worth of goods seized by Indians. The Iroquois federation granted the company territory formed by the triangle of the Little Kanawha and Ohio Rivers and the western ranges of the Alleghany mountains. This territory was dubbed the Indiana territory and remained under control of the trading company until 1779, when the state of Virginia refused to recognize the bargain made with the Indians. With the capture of Ft. Sackville. Vincennes. Feb. 25. 1779. by George Rogers Clark, English domination over Indiana Territory was ended. The land officially became the Union's first territory in 1800. Jennings First Governor Ind.ana's first Governor was Jonathan Jennings, a Democrat, and an anti-slavery advocate The cultural history of Indiana has been rich with the names of famous authors and artists. Po|iitically. Indiana has contributed one ; President, Benjamin Harrison, and , four Vice Presidents to the United ' States. Its farm land is fertile loam and clay, providing abundant harvests for those who live directly from the : soil. The industrial revolution brought the busy hum of factories to Indiana. The term "Hoosier.” according to J. P. Dunn, eminent Indiana historian. is derived from an AngloSaxon term, "hoo." and refers to rusticity. The term was familiar among former residents of Cumberland. England, who settled in Indiana Territory, Mr. Dunn stated. KROGER FLEET WINS TRUCK SAFETY PRIZE Indiana Motor Traffic Scroll to Be Awarded at Luncheon.
