SIX KILLED AS 2 CARS CRASH HEAD-ON HERE Five Die Instantly When Vehicles Collide on W. Washington. TRAFFIC TOLL NOW 35 Seventh Victim of Night Accident Reported in Critical Condition. Bodies of six victims of a headon automobile collision in the 4300 block on W. Washington-st lay in Indianapolis morgues today. As four families mourned, the Marion County 1936 traffic toll leaped from '29 to 35. A seventh victim of the accident, which occurred last night, was reported in a critical condition in City Hospital. The dead, five of whom died instantly, are: William Edward Earl, 22, of 29 S. Tremont-av. Jesse P. Hampton Jr., 21, of 214 S. llancock-st. Alberta E. Whitt, 19, of 6332 Dunway-st, Ben Davis. Lee Ann Whitt, 17, her sister, Ben Davis High School sophomore. Orville C. Sanders, 39, of 1715 Fletcher-av. Mrs. Wretha Sanders, 36, his wife. The injured: Adam Reid McClintock, 22, of 213 N. Warman-av, internal injuries, City Hospital, condition critical. The massacre occurred, according to investigators, when the sedan driven by Mr. Earl—allegedly without lights—crashed head-on into the coach driven by Mr. Sanders. Mr. Earl is said to have been driving at a high rate of speed. The Misses Whitt, Mr. Hampton and Mr. McClintock were riding in the Earl auto, which was going east. Mr. and Mrs. Sanders were driving west. / Identifies Companions, Dies Shortly before Mr. Hampton’s death at 1:50 this morning he identified two of his companies. Relatives of the other victims identified their bodies. Identification efforts were hampered last night because of the condition of the bodies taken from the wreckage. Charles Sager, 26, Bridgeport, taxi driver, today told deputy sheriffs that he was traveling behind the Sanders automobile at the time of the accident and that he saw the Earl car, without lights, zoom out of the darkness into the Sanders car. Debris and bodies were hurled into the air, he said. Believed Blinded by Lights Witnesses said that Earl’s car swerved directly into the path of the Sanders automobile and it is believed today that he was blinded by the lights from the Sanders coach. A large crowd gathered at the scene, making it necessary to reroute traffic so the deputy sheriffs could take the victims from the wreckage. Dr. A. W. Hadley, deputy coroner, called to the scene, found that Earl, the Misses Whitt and Mr. and Mrs. Sanders had died immediately. Rushed to Hospital Hampton and McClintock were rushed to City Hospital where Hampton died as his father, Jesse Hampton Sr., walked into the room. Relatives of the victims were prostrated when called to the City (Turn to Page Three) AMY MOLLISON FLIGHT ENDS WITH ACCIDENT British Aviatrix Escapes Injury in Crash in Morocco.

Fare Objection By United Press NEW HAVEN. Conn., April 4.—The New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad today was granted permission by United State District Court to petition the Interstate Commerce Commission for posponement of the effective date of passenger fare reductions in order that a compromise plan might be submitted “in conjunction with other carriers.” The ICC order, reducing basic passenger rates to 2 cents a mile, becomes operative in June. The New Haven, which is in reorganization under the bankruptcy act, claimed it would suffer greatly as much of its income came from passenger revenue. The loss was estimated at $4,000,000 yearly in addition to expenditures for new equipment and schedule alterations.

'RALLY YOUTH,' HOOVERURGES Former President Is Guest of Indiana Friends at Dinner Here. BY ARCH STEINEL Herbert Hoover, former President of the United States, left Indianapolis today after an overnight visit, bound for Fort Wayne where tonight he will make a political address. The address is to be broadcast at 9:30 from the Gospel Temple. In the meantime today prominent Republicans, who attended the informal and “off-the-record” gathering given at the Columbia Club last night by Warren Fairbanks, Indianapolis News published, discussed the apparent good health of Mr. Hoover and his analytical address at the dinner, which in its closing moments became an open forum on politics. Urges Appeal to Youth. Mr. Hoover returned the quiet homage paid him—it contrasted with the cheers of thousands that followed his car around the Circle on his 1932 campaign visit—with a discussion of the present administration’s unbalanced budget and the temporary end of the gold standard. The dinner guests said Mr. Hoover compared the record of hi? administration with that of President Roosevelt and urged state Republicans to rally the youth and women of Hoosierland to turn back the Democrats ip November. Those who attended the dinner said Mr. Hoover did not indicate he desired the presidential nomination for himself r:or did he discuss any of the leading entries for the Republican nomination. Interviews Are Refused Gray-suited and wearing a high collar, Mr. Hoover arrived 30 minutes late at the dinner party. Accompanied by Oscar G. Foellinger, Fort Wayne News-Sentinel publisher, and Mr. Fairbanks, he was greeted in the Columbia Club lobby by club attaches and a small group anxious for a glimpse of the former President. Despite earlier reports from his hosts that no press photographs would be permitted, the former President posed for a cameraman, but refused an interview by saying his only statement in Indiana would be his "five-column speech” tonight in Fort Wayne. Guests Reported Present Guests reported at the dinner included: Harry G. Leslie, James P. Goodri .1, former Governors; Federal j jge Rctoert C. Baltzell, Fred Gause, Arthur L. Gilliom, former Attorney General; Henry Marshall, Lafayette publisher; R. H. Sherwood, George Ball, Muncie philanthropist and G. O. P. campaign contributor; Will Irwin, Columbus capita 1 * st.

BRUNO’S DEATH RENEWS BITTER POLITICAL WAR ‘lnnocent/ His Final Protest as Condemned Slayer Walks to Chair. NO HINT OF CONFESSION Hoffman, Wilentz Are Facing Test on Public Reaction in May Primary. (Copyright, 1936. by United Press) TRENTON, N. J„ April 4.—Bruno Richard Hauptmann’s last cry of “innocent” before he walked to the electric chair recorded the Lindbergh case today as the most controversial mystery of the century. Hauptmann died calmly, almost indifferently, with his thin lips sealed against the slightest hint of a confession. And with the deadly surge of electricity through his body, there died, too, perhaps the only chance that the world ever will know the factual story of the abduction and murder of the infant son of Col. and Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh in the Sourland Mountains four years ago. Around the world went the flash that the state of New Jersey had closed its books on the multimil-lion-dollar Lindbergh case at 7:47*2 (Indianapolis time) last night in the electrocution chamber of the gloomy old state prison. But just as surely there were millions who knew that Hauptmann had died and who still were convinced that he did not commit the crime alone. Every Legal Fight Fails. Hauptmann died on a stage set for a fantasy and in a fitting climax on a crime that piled sensation on sensation with such terrific momentum that even half an hour before the execution it appeared likely that the eternal “something” would yet save Hauptmann’s life for at least another day. But at last the legend of the Lindbergh case had run its course. Every legal battle for life had failed him At the last minute Gov. Harold G. Hoffman had announced reluctantly that he did not have the power to grant another reprieve. If ever there was a time when a man would speak from his heart that time for Hauptmann was at 8:30 pi, m. last night. He : eleased the hands of two Lutheran ministers who stood beside him in the death cell. “Now just let me have a minute to myself,” he said softly in German Hauptmann Prays Alone Silently, he knelt on the cement floor beside a cot stripped even of its bedding. His head, clipped to receive the electrode of death, glistened in the light of an overhead bulb. Hauptmann prayed. For almost 10 mftiutes the man who knew he was without hope said his last prayer silently. Then he lifted his face toward the light. The shadows of the cell bars fell sharply across his face. I:i the death house corridor stood two guards. “Now I’m ready,” Hauptmann said. He got to his feet, the right leg of his brown trousers flapped. It was slit for the electrode. Investigation to Continue A few minutes later Bruno Richard Hauptmann w r as dead, but not the legend of the Lindbergh case. Gov. Hoffman’s investigation of the mystery will go on, he has announced. Gov. Hoffman, who was determined to solve the mystery before permitting the convicted man to die, sat in his office refusing to comment on the execution. But political foes of the Republican Governor already were demanding a thorough invesigation of the handling of the case and opposition newspapers shouted ‘*mDeachment” at the man who tried to save Hauptmann. C. Lloyd Fisher, Hauptmann’s chief counsel, will claim his body at the State Prison morgue today and arrange for its cremation, probably tomorrow, in New York City. Wendel Still in Jail But while Mr. Fisher and Mrs. Anna Hauptmann, seeking refuge from the madness of the last few days in New York, arranged for a private funeral, the political tangle grew more baffling. Paul Wendel, former Trenton attorney, still was in Mercer County jail, held without bail, charged with perpetrating the murder for which Hauptmann was executed. He was charged in Hunterdon County with kidnaping the baby. At the same time Prosecutor, William F. X. Geoghan of Kings County (Brooklyn), intimated that he is preparing kidnaping charges against several unnamed men who, Wendel said, seized and tortured him in New York to obtain his confession. Mr. Fisher, always convinced that Hauptmann was innocent, announced that Hauptmann's death didn’t close the Lindbergh case “by a damn sight.” Early Test at Polls Gov. Hoffman will have to test public reaction to his attitude at the polls in a May primary in which he is a candidate for election as a delegate to the Republican national convention. Six months ago he was mentioned as vice presidential even a presidential candidate. Now his friends are worried by fear that he may not be elected to a convention seat. Atty. Gen. David T. Wilentz will meet the same test as a candidate for election as delegate to the Democratic convention. Col. H. Schwarzkopf, j£ Pm Tfcreei/. __

F. D. R. ORDERS PROCESSJAXES Note to Congress Leaders Is Interpreted as Demand. By United Press WASHINGTON, April 4.—A special memorandum from President Roosevelt to congressional leaders was interpreted today as a demand for restoration of proposed new processing taxes to the tax bill. In a one-paragraph note to Senate Majority Leader Joseph T._ Robinson and House Speaker Joseph W. Byrns, the President warned again that the new tax bill must provide sufficient revenue to balance the ordinary budget. House leaders said they considered his suggestion meant that the White House-proposed processing taxes were essential for ordinary budget balancing. The tax bill is now before the House Ways and Means Committee. New processing taxes proposed in the President’s special message of March 3 would cover approximately 30 commodities and raise an estimated $200,000,000 annually for two years. The proposal was discarded by the House tax subcommittee in the belief sufficient revenues could be raised otherwise. SENATE FILIBUSTER WAGED BY REYNOLDS Continues Speaking to Block Deportation Bill. By Scripps-Howard Newspaper Allianci WASHINGTON, April 4.—The first filibuster since Huey Long left the Senate was in progress today against the Kerr-Coolidge deportation bill. Senator Robert Reynolds (D., N. C.) is trying to talk the bill to death. In order to prevent this, the Senate is foregoing its usual Saturday recess. Senator Reynolds said when he started his speech yesterday afternoon, that he was prepared to talk 15 hours. He had talked three hours when the Senate recessed for the night. A filibuster usually is futile this far from the end of a session, but the Senate convenes Monday as a court of impeachment and may spend several weeks hearing charges against Judge Halsted L. Ritter of Florida. Unless congressional action can be had* before then, it may be too late to prevent deportation of 2862 aliens of good character for whom the immigration service has recommended leniency. The Senate may stay in session tonight to force a vote on the bill. If a vote is taken there is every likelihood of its adoption. BANDITS OBTAIN CASH, RIDE IN TAXI HOLDUP Robbed of $2.50, Forced to Return Pair Downtown, Driver Says. Ambrose Simmons, 50, of 1232 Col-leve-av, a cab driver, reported to police early today that two men not only robbed him of $2.50 late last night, but forced him to do a lot of driving during the procedure. According to Simmons, two men entered his cab at Alabama and Washington-sts and ordered him to drive them to 38th-st and Shermandr. There they produced a gun and took his money# Contrary to custom, they then relaxed in the rear seat and calmly directed him to return them to Illinois and Maryland-sts, where they dismissed him with a eurt-’beat it,’.' f

VERA,FREED, TO TAKEVACATION Faints as Jury Acquits Her in Death of Dr. Gebhardt. By United Press NEW YORK, April 4.—The weeping of Vera Stretz turned to hysterical laughter today over her acquittal of having committed a crime when she killed Dr. Fritz Gebhardt, wealthy, 43-year-old German industrialist with a wife and two daughters in Germany. She fainted over a courtroom table last night as Jury Foreman Curtis Lee reported to Judge Cornelius Collins at 7:17 (Indianapolis time) “not guilty." She recovered consciousness immediately, but her nerves were shattered by the sudden relief from fear of a death penalty. She wept and laughed alternately for several minutes, composed herself for a while, then became so vivacious that she laughed almost continuously for hours. Today she planned a ‘‘long rest in the country” with frequent chatter about her “wonderful” attorney, Samuel Leibowitz, and a frequently repeated joke about the chance she missed “to do social work in Auburn,” where the state women’s prison is located. Self-Defense Story Believed Miss Stretz, 32, a graduate of New York University, shot Gebhardt to death at about 2 a. m. Nov. 12 in his twenty-first-floor apartment in exclusive Beekman Place. Her defense was that Gebhardt lured her to his apartment with a false story of illness to attempt a criminal attack. She lived in an apartment two floors below his. The jurors, all men and all at middle age or past, believed her testimony that she seized a revolver from a bureau drawer in Gebhardt’s room after he had attacked her and killed him in self-defense. FRANCE TO SUBMIT BROAD PEACE PUN Program to Include Briand U. S. of Europe Idea. (Copyright, 1936, by United Press) PARIS, April 4.—France will submit a sweeping plan for consolidation of peace in Europe to a meeting of Locarno powers during the week of April 13, it was learned today. The plan, it was learned, will include the once-shelved program evolved by the late Aristide Briand for a United States of Europe, a most ambitious scheme for a political and economic new deal that would swreep away tariff barriers and put European nations working with instead of against each other. Great Britain, it was learned, accepted in principle today the French demand for a meeting of the Locarno powers France, Belgium, Britain and Italy, if she wants to attend. The meeting will be held here. France intends that the peace plan shall lead to a great all-Eu-ropean economic and political conference during June.

EUROPEAN ARMS PARLEY POSSIBLE BY THIS SUMMER

Some Peace Hopes Despite Rejection of Germany’s Proposals. BRITAIN FOR AIR PACT France, However, Still Is Unwilling to Back Down Before Hitler. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scripps-Howard Foreign Editor PARIS, April 4.—An epochmaking European peace and arms-limitation conference is not unlikely for late spring or summer, despite unacceptable features of Adolf Hitler’s proposals. Britain is using all the diplomatic pressure possible at this end in the hope that existing differences can be ironed out. Her argument is that Germany must be brought into a system of European peace and arms limitation pacts at almost any cost. As the alternate she sees intensive, uncontrolled armament and ceaseless bickering, ending in certain conflict. There is no use trying to prevent Germany doing anything she wants on her own soil, London holds. The only way to prevent her would be to fight. Fear Loss of Faith The French thesis is that to back down before Hitler’s fait accompli would destroy all faith in present or future treaties—and, therefore, in collective peace. The British position is that Germany apparently intends to refortify the Rhineland under any circumstances. Germany already has 23 airdromes in the forbidden zone, and these are now being improved. They are less than two hours’ flying time from London and Paris for, the slowest bombers. The question is: Shall Germany proceed as a lone wolf, outside any and all control, or shall she be brought within international regulation along with others? Impressed by Air Proposal Britain is particularly impressed by Hitler’s proposed air pacts. She is convinced that a network of mutual* non-aggression and mutual aid pacts, backed by an aerial Locarno and an agreement to limit arms, would come nearer giving Europe comparative security than anything yet devised. She points out that Germany might indeed bomb Paris or London within two hours, but that if she did so her cities would forthwith find themselves under British, French, Belgian, Polish, Russian and Czechoslovakian bombs. Such is understood to be the general tenor of London’s argument. Meantime, Britain is assuring France and Belgium of full military support in line with the existing Locarno commitments in the event of aggression before new pacts are concluded. SHOWERS, WARMER DUE FOR WEEK-END Lowest Temperature to Be Above Freezing. Clouds spread like a parasol over Indianapolis today, and forecast showers over the week-end to make all touring and promenading plans tentative. However, to compensate, the Weather Bureau promised warmer weather both today and tomorrow, with minimum temperature above freezing. By tomorrow, it is promised, the snows of the week will be merely an unpleasant memory. $20,000,000 IN GOLD •SHIPPED FROM FRANCE Rise in Dollar, Pound Sterling Is Followed by Buying. By United Press PARIS, April 4.—Nearly $20,000,000 in gold left France on four fast liners in the last three days, It was learned today, as heavy purchases of gold continued here. It is understood that in the last week the Bank of France has lost almost 1,500,000,000 francs in gold as the dollar and pound sterling rose above the profitable gold shipment level. Most recent purchases were by international buyers, chiefly European, but much gold has been earmarked for early shipment to New York. MISHAP MARS ARRIVAL OF HINDENBURG AT RIO Giant Dirigible Breaks Adrift From Mooring After Ocean Crossing. By United Press RIO DE JANEIRO, April 4.

Airport Near Ethiopians’ Capital Target; Residents Flee in Terror. FEAR BOMBING ATTACK Warriors Fire on Attackers, Who Escape Unscathed; Three Wounded. (Copyright, 1936. by United Press) ADDIS ABABA, April 4 Five Italian fighting planes thrilled and terrified the capital today with a display of gymnastics, bombed and ma-chine-gunned the airport and flew off leaving a population quaking with fear that they would return at any hour with bombers. One Ethiopian airplane was destroyed by a bomb. Another was riddled by machine gun bullets. The roof of the principal airport hangar was seized with bullets. The five planes droned over the capital at 7:30 a. m. The city was but half awake. As the roar of their motors became plain, anti-aircraft guns about the city began popping a challenge. Warriors Fire at Planes Warriors ran into the streets in their white shamma robes, to fire at the planes, high above gun range, with their ancient rifles. Women and children began pouring from the native houses, taking their poor possessions with them, to run for safety. The planes darted about over the city in formation, ignoring the puny fire of the defenders. They swept down on the government wireless station. At 300 feet altitude they leveled, off and shot ' upward. Taxis, mules and people, all loaded to capacity with possessions, crowded the roads in an effort to get away. Six Bombs Dropped As they ran the planes swept out to the airport in the suburbs. From 2000 feet first one plane, then another, dived from the formation. They came down to within 100 feet of the ground, the staccato fire of their machine guns and the roar of their motors punctuated by the explosion of six small bombs. Two planes in the hangar caught fire. One was destroyed. The exodus from the city continused all day. The only casualties in the raid were three persons wounded by wild rifle shots at the planes. One was an Arab contractor who is remodeling the American legation. Many attributed today’s raid to an Ethiopian victory in the north. A high military source insisted that Ethiopians occupied Makale, far north of Lake Aschangi, yesterday. LAMSON STARTS ANEW FOLLOWING ACQUITTAL Returns to World Shut Off by Bars in May, 1933. By United Press SAN JOSE, Cal., April 4.—David A. Lamson, self-styled “member of the unemployed,” today sought for a footing and anew start in a world shut off to him since his attractive young wife died in the bathtub at their Palo Alto home on a sunny May morning in 1933. Freed of murder charges lodged against him nearly three years ago, Lamson’s plans were vague. He indicated he may continue temporarily a professional writing career begun with the book, “We Who Are About to Die,” written while he was under a death sentence after the first of his four trials. POLICE ACCUSE BOY, 11, OF MURDERING MOTHER Pistol Wound Fatal to Parent of Passaic, X. J., Lad. By United Press PASSAIC, N. J., April 4.—Michael Koroteff, 11, found a pistol in his father's desk drawer. “Put it down,” his mother yelled. Michael backed away, clutching the gun. The muzzle wavered toward his mother. She, knowing it was loaded, dodged toward a nearby door. “I thought she was going to get a whip,” Michael told police later. He Jerked the trigger, Michael told officials. Blood spurted from his mother’s head. She fell in the doorway. Michael will be charged with murder. MAN TELLS OF ATTACK Saves His $l5O, Suffers Scalp Wound, Victim Reports. Robert Jones, 33, of 3702 E. Wash-ington-st, came to City Hospital early today with a severe cut in his forehead which he told police he had received when he was attacked by two men in front of 1334 Taborst. Jones said he was able to beat off his assailants and escape with $l5O which he was carrying in his pockets.
