BOWERS MAY SEEK GOVERNOR’S SEAT; HOOVER DUE HERE

Ambassador to Spain Hinted Compromise Candidate in Indiana Race. DEAL DENIED BY THREE Seek Top Place Only, Chorus Greenlee, Townsend and Kirk McKinney. BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY Tlmr* Staff Writer WASHINGTON, April 3. Ambassador Claude G. Bowers was reported today to be considering a return from Spain in order to become the Democratic nominee for Governor of Indiana. Previously it had been predicted that he would be given a Cabinet post in time to become one of the big oratorical guns in the Roose-1 velt campaign. But the Hoosier Democracy is in a plight because of a three-way preconvention split over the gubernatorial nomination, and Mr. Bowers has been suggested as a “natural” dark horse. It is contended that all factions could agree on his nomination and that his ability on the stump would make Indiana, now listed as doubtful, safe for the Democrats. According to the report here the plan has been cabled to Mr. Bowers and is under consideration by him. Mr. Bowers is as famed for his partisan speechmaking as for his books on Jeffersonian Democracy. He keynoted the Houston convention in 1928. Ineligible, Is Hint Indiana political leaders today saw a possibility that a state law, requiring five-year residence for Governor candidates, might prevent Claude Bowers, ambassador to Spain, from being seriously considered for the post. It was not*immediately ascertainable here whether Ambassador Bowers retained his legal resdience in Indiana. One Democratic political leader placed the possibility of Mr. Bowers’ selection as a compromise candidate in the same category with reported rumors that Everett Sanders, former secretary of President Collidge, sought the Republican nomination. “Both men have been out of the state too long to be able to become candidates that would appeal to the voters,” the political leader said. Three Deny Deal Three Democratic gubernatorial candidates, E. Kirk McKinney, Pleas Greenlee and Lieut. Gov. M. Clifford Townsend, today answered rumors of political mergers with flat declarations that each seeks one office, the Governorship. The rumors, current in gossip in the three gubernatorial camps, regarding “deals” are as follows: That Mr. McKinney will throw his. delegate support in the convention to Mr. Townsend in order to become his running-mate for the post of lieutenant-governor. That an alliance, with promise of delegate support, is to be perfected (Turn to Tage ThrVe) 222 WPA MEN FIRED; INEFFICIENT, IS CLAIM Dismissals Ordered by District Director at South Bend.

Mr. Hoover is expected to renew his attacks on the New Deal at the Fort Wayne rally tomorrow. Borah Beaten in N. Y. R // l nited Press WASHINGTON, April 3.—Backers of Senator William E. Borah took the position today that defeat of all Borah-pledged national convention candidates in the New York state primary was of small consequence in the Senator’s campaign for Republican presidential nomination. “Yes. I read about it in the papers, ’ Mr. Borah said today when told of the final returns of yesterday’s New York polling. “It was no surprise to me. I didn’t know anything about the situation there and I didn’t expect to win.” The New York primary gave the state’s Democratic National Convention delegation to President Roosevelt although Alfred E. Smith easily won a convention seat. Smith has promised to “take a walk” if the convention indorses the Roosevelt Administration. Borah said he did not consider the New York poll a real test of his strength but would so construe results of the Wisconsin primary, April 7, and that in Illinois one week later. All 17 Borah-pledged delegates in New York were defeated yesterday. Uninstructed district delegates were uniformly successful. # Maine Favors Knox By United Press ’ BANGOR, Me..

DRY FORCES TO OPEN CAMPAIGN Stronger Local Option to Be Goal of League, York Says. BY ARCH STEINEL The Anti-Saloon League today entered the 1936 campaign with stronger local option laws as its goal, and will not work for either state or national prohibition, L. E. York, Indiana superintendent, said. “We favor a law 7, to be passed by the Indiana Legislature, which would require signatures of a majority of resident voters to legalize the sale of liquor in a community,” he said. The existing law requires that a petition for a license to sell liquor must have only 30 signatures attached. In both the primary and the general elections compaigns, he said, the league will poll candidates for seats in national and state legislative bodies on their reactions to stronger local option laws and more rigid Federal supervision. Slates of candidates favorable to the league’s legislative ambitions then will be printed and distributed to members and the voters in general, he said. “We will not seek to have the Representatives or Senators pledged to a return of state prohibition. State as well as national prohibition is being left alone by our organization,” Mr. York said. 4 Congressional candidates, he said, also are to be queried on their views toward strengthening the Federal liquor laws. “Just as soon as the filing of declarations ends tomorrow 7 night and we receive a list of the candidates of both parties we will get in touch with county organizations and the individual candidates to determine their stand on a local option law,” Mr. York said.

TORNADO TOLL IN SOUTHLAND IS SET AT 40 Relief Forces Mobilized to Clear Debris at Greensboro, N. C. STATE MILITIA ON DUTY 56 Buildings Demolished as Storm Hits Town; 65 Injured. By United Press GREENSBORO, N. C., April 3. Quickly mobilized relief forces today cleared the debris from a residential and Industrial area struck last night by a tornado, which took 12 lives here and raised to 40 the toll of storm deaths over the South. The storm struck Cordele, Ga., killing 18 persons before hitting here. Business men estimated property damage at $1,000,000. The storm crushed buildings in a four-block swath across the entice southern edge of Greensboro. 65 Others Treated With 12 dead here, 65 others were receiving treatment in hospitals. The dead and injured were taken from the 1000 dwellings damaged. There were 56 buildings demolished, including 15 stores and mercantile establishments, 32 dwellings and nine factory and industrial plants. The Blue Bell overall plant was so badly damaged that its 1400 employes did not report to work today. Only an unused warehouse of the El Moro Cigar Cos. was destroyed and the plant operated as usual today. National Guardsmen were on duty about the stricken area, as 300 WPA and CCC employes labored to clear away the debris. Seven persons were killed by other twisters, two at Washington, Ga.; one at Sasser, Ga.; one at Dawson, Ga.; one at Dalton, Ga.; one at Hampton, S. C., and one at Apalachicola, Fla. Two Schools Wrecked Damage at Cordele passed $1,000.000, principally because the town’s two schools were wrecked. Only a few residents of small frame houses on the city’s western outskirts saw the tornado approach. It struck the southwestern corner of the city first, smashed a block of small homes, skipped into the air for half a block, and then roared with almost unbelievable havoc across the entire city. Most residences of the district were of inexpensive types, many of them occupied by Negroes. Their flimsy frames collapsed like cardboard. Mrs. John W. Sparrow and her 10-year-old daughter Edna were pinned in one dwelling under a collapsed roof beam. A gas main beneath the house broke and the leaking gas caught fire. It ignited the debris despite the rain. Mrs. Sparrow's screams of agony from a crushed pelvis attracted the attention of neighbors. A dozen men removed the pinioned woman but she was critically burned before being pulled free. Her daughter was bruised. One Man Electrocuted Electric power was turned off all over the city immediately after the storm, but one unidentified man was killed before that by a broken live wire. Darkness impeded rescue work and increased panic. Gov. J. C. B. Ehringhaus ordered 186 men and 17 officers of the Greensboro National Guard unit mobilized as soon as he learned of the disaster. Negro students of A. and T. College organized rescue squads and worked all night to guide injured persons to emergency field hospitals.

Emma the Goat Lands in Hoosegow; Serves Her Right, Too, Police Think

This is a story of a goat named Emma. Someone, greatly excited, called the police at 6 this morning and said that a goat was window shopping in front of stores on Washing-ton-st between Illinois and Meri-dian-sts, and would the police make some adjustments. Patrolmen Calvin Simmons and Herman Winnings were sent to the scene and for 20 mintues tried with no success to capture the goat. In one desperate lunge, Patrolman Winnings nearly got the creature, but Emma escaped and ran into the street. She ran in the path of a taxi and the driver went into plain and fancy skids to save the animal s life. When he had stopped his cab, he opened the door and yelled at the patrolmen: “You’ll have to get that damn goat out of the street or it will get run over.” Then he drove awwr.

Bell Reports Promise of Help From Indiana Public Official. Times Special WASHINGTON. April 3.—Chairman Jasper C. Bell (D., Mo.) of the House committee investigating the Townsend plan announced today that he has been pledged support of Atty. Gen. Philip Lutz Jr. in the committee’s investigation in Indiana. Mr. Lutz, here for two weeks, returned to Indianapolis Wednesday night. “Mr. Lutz and I had a conference in which the Indiana angles of the investigation were disclosed,” Mr. Bell said. “And he promised the full facilities of the attorney general’s office in carrying out any investigation in the state.” Mr. Bell already is armed with data supplied by an Indiana Congressman concerning alleged irregularities in the Townsend plan setup there. He indicated that when the scene is shifted from the national and California setup to the states, generally, Indiana will be one of the first to get the spotlight because the Townsend Weekly is published there. Atty. Gen. Philip Lutz Jr. returned from Washington, said today he had no comment to make on Washington reports that his office will be used in a Townsend plan investigation here. MILLER, RINEHART GET VENUE CHANGES Embezzlement Trials to Be Held Elsewhere. Criminal Judge Frank P. Baker today granted change of venue motions to Dick Miller, former president of the defunct City Trust Cos., and- Mark V. Rinehart, former director of the defunct Washington Bank and Trust Cos., charged with bankers’ embezzlement. Mr. Miller’s case was venued to Shelby County and Mr. Rinehart’s to Johnson County. In ruling, Judge Baker said he believed there existed a prejudice in this county against the two former bankers.

Emma on Illinois-st, and while Patrolman Winnings held her, Patrolman Simmons called for a patrol wagon. Patrolmen Mort -Hansford and George Beeson arrived with the patrol wagon, took one look at the goat, and said, “nothing doing,” they would not haul it. They left. Patrolmen Simmons and Winnings Immediately christened the goat George Mort and heaved her into their squad car. They got her to the station and put her in a pen in the basement. She’s there now; Chief Morrissey was asleep early today, and nobody was allowed to interview the goat until he said so. Or even take a picture of her. Police rules about goats, that’s all. Later, when Mr. Morrissey gave them the “go” sign, the police allowed Emma to pose for a picture, which she did shyly, like a modest little homebody.

Public Hearings Are to Be Suspended for at Least Ten Days. By United Press WASHINGTON, April 3.—House investigators of old-age pension schemes today took up new and reputedly “hot” trails into the financial background of the Townsend movement. Public hearings were suspended for at least 10 days to permit a search for new evidence. Chairman C. Jasper Bell (D„ Mo.) made the suspension announcement unexpectedly after a closed session of the group. The action followed disclosure that Dr. F. E. Townsend collected approximately $1,700 from followers in his Old-Age Revolving Pensions, Ltd., for a third party during a mass meeting in Los Angeles, Cal., last Feb. 20. Robert E. Clements, former OARP secretary-treasurer, testified he urged the doctor to put the money as well as that of all other mass meetings into the OARP but that he refused to do it. Sheridan Downey, Townsend’s counsel, said money was “impounded’' in California to defray expenses of the third party movement but that the movement is now “dead.” He said there was no official connection between OARP and the third party mass meeting. Other points brought out include: That the Townsend Weekly, suited on a “shoestring” investment of $250 by Townsend and Clements, was receiving revenues of from SSOO to S6OO weekly from circulation, and that much advertising comes from patent products aimed to reach the aged. That OARP is incorporated under a California law by Townsend, his brother Walter, characterized as a "dummy,” and Clements that permits division of assets among the incorporators if it is dissolved.

Kimberling Announces Decision After Foreman of Grand Jury Pteveals It Has No % Reason to Ask New Delay. AWAITS FINAL WORD FROM WILENTZ Fisher, Meanwhile, Demands Trenchard Halt Execution Pending New Inquiry Into Wendel Case. (Copyright, 1936. by United Press) TRENTON, N. J., April 3.—The electric chair was mad* ready for Bruno Richard Hauptmann again today. Sol. Mark O. Kimberling, head keeper of the New Jersey State Prison, announced that as far as he was concerned the Lindbergh baby killer would be put to death tonight. Hauptmann’s reserve of good luck began running low at midnight when the Mercer County Grand Jury recessed without taking any action in the case of Paul 11. Wendel whose

By United Press PARIS, April 3. —Premier Benito Mussolini insists on abolition of sanctions against Italy before lUly will reassume, her role in European affairs, Count Charles de Chambrun, ambassador to Rome, informed the government today. Chambrun made his report at a meeting of ambassadors, called from the principal .capitals of Europe, to confer with Premier Albert Sarraut and Foreign Minister Pierre Etienne Flandin on the Rhineland crisis. The ambassadors from Berlin, London and Brussels also attended. The conference discussed the advisability of sending a detailed plan for the consolidation of European peace as France’s reply to Germany’s latest, proposals. The plan will be, in effect, a complete rejection of the German proposals but at the same time will provide the basis for further direct negotiations between Great Britain, on behalf of the Locarno powers, and Germany. General Staffs to Meet By United Press LONDON, April 3. —Members of the British, French and Belgian general staffs will meet here soon to plan joint defensive action in event of an unprovoked attack against France or Belgium, Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden announced today in the House of Commons. A joint defensive plan for air, sea and land action is to be worked out. ETHIOPIAN RAIN BEGINS, BUT WAR IS TO GO ON Roads Used by D uce's Army to Be Guttered, Is Report.

POLICE PLEASED BY CITY PARKING DRIVE Conditions Improved, Says Capt. Johnson. “Newspaper publicity and our new stickers have combined almost to eliminate double parking in the downtown area,” Capt. Lewis Johnson, police traffic department head, announced today. ' “We have found that conditions have been greatly improved, and a number of driving hazards eliminated. The department is encouraged,” he said. Collections on traffic stickers also improved today, he added.

repudiated confession caused Col. Kimberling to postpone Hauptmann’s execution last Tuesday night. Allyne Freeman, foreman of the jury, told Mr. Kimberling this morning that the jury had no reason for asking further delay. With Marshall Col. Kimberling then went to Erwin Marshall, prosecutor of Mercer County. After talking with Mr. Marshall for an hour the head keeper announced he would go ahead with plans for the execution tonight, but would check also with Atty. Gen. David T. Wilentz. Although Mr. Wilentz is this state's highest legal authority his word alone may not be enough to send Hauptmann to the chair. Mr. Wilentz and Gov. Harold G. Hoffman are bitter political enemies. Gov. Hoffman wants to mann and Mr. Wilentz wants him killed. The Governor may again inject himself into the case at the last minute. Observers believe that in event of a disagreement Mr. Kimberling would follow Gov.,Hoffman's instructions as against Mr. Wilentz’s. “I asked Prosecutor Marshall for an opinion on the present status of the Wendel case,” Mr. Kimberling said. ‘T will go further now and ask the attorney general for advica. Proceeds With Preparations “I am going ahead with preparations for the execution. I could not delay beyond tomorrow night because I have no authority to do so.” Col. Kimberling said that sine® the grand jury’s request of Tuesday night he had received no further request for a delay. Reporters talked to Mr. Wilentz before Col. Kimberling had seen him. Mr. Wilentz told them he did not care_to discuss what clarification he would give to the head keeper. He said that the swift, uncertain maneuvers involved in the "discontinuance” of the Wendel case inquiry by the grand jury shortly before midnight had left his “as confused as any one else." Fisher Demands New Probe A few minutes after Mr. Wilentz had expressed his confusion. C. Lloyd ©sher, Hauptmann s lawyer, added still another contribution to the puzzling developments which have marked the case by demanding that the Hunterdon County grand jury be convened to investigate Wendel’s possible connection with the kidnap-murder of baby Lindbergh. Mr. Fisher’s demand was in a telegram which he sent to Supreme Court Justice Thomas W. Trenchard, the jurist before whom Hauptmann was tried and condemned more than a year ago. The telegram demanded the removal of Prosecutor Anthony M. Hauck Jr, the appointment of a special prosecutor. and a stay for Hauptmann. While these developments swirled about the heads of prominent figures in the case outside. Hauptmann awoke in death cell No. 9 to learn that his chief source of hope—the Mercer County grand jury—had recessed overnight without taking any action which would delay his death. Chair Is Tested Again Thirty paces from where Hauptmann sat, electricians again were testing the chair in which he is to be put to death at 7 p. m. (Indianapolis time). Extra guards were at the door of his ceil. He was deprived of all utensils which might be used in an attempt at suicide. After Mr. Kimberling left Mr. Marshall’s office, the prosecution said that the investigation of Wendel still was “unfinished business," because no vote was taken on the murder indictment. “I told Kimberling the same thing I told the press last night," the prosecutor said Asked why the jury did not reach iTurn to Page Three) FREIGHT LOADINGS UP March 28 Total Tops Preceding Weeks; Lower Than 1935. lift I nilf(l Prt ** WASHINGTON, April 3.— The Association of American Railroads announced today that loadings of revenue freight for the week ended March 28 totalled 600.487 cars, an increase of 33,679 above the preceding week but a decrease of 16.033 be*, low the corresponding week in 133.%
