Woody, broker. COOL WEATHER RETARDS CROPS Hoosier Farm Operations Delayed, Bureau Head Reports. Farm operations have been hampered and crop growth retarded two weeks by low temperatures the first of this month, J. H. Armington, United States meteorologist, reported today. Thermometer readings for the state last Wednesday averaged 19 degrees below normal, he pointed out, and while there has been a steady rise in the last few days, the warm weather has not been of sufficient duration to overcome the handicap. “There is nothing particularly alarming about this situation if we have higher temperatures from now on.” Mr. Armington declared. “Some years crops will run three weeks behind the seasonal average, only to catch up when the weather becomes more favorable. Yesterday the temperature averaged four degrees above normal for the state.” Cold weather also retarded evaporation and that, plus rams, has interfered considerably with outdoor work. All planted crops have made little progress, he said, and oats sowing and plowing for oats (Turn to Page Three)

SHOWERS DELAYED, BUT ON WAY HERE Predicted Rains to Arrive Tonight, Says Bureau. Showers, originally scheduled to arrive here last night, probably are to be just 24 hours late in keeping their engagement, the Weather Bureau said today. Rain tonight should make it fair and cooler tomorrow. This morning the thermometer reached 60 at 9, about five degrees higher than the normal temperature for this time of the year, the bureau reported FRY ORDERS HALT TO PRIZE ‘RACKET Says Premiums for Sales Violates Control Act. An end to what he termed the "racket” that has resulted from the use of premiums to spur the sale of alcoholic oeverages was ordered today by Paul P. Fry, state excise admjnist ator. Mr. Fry said it has come to the Alcoholic Beverage Commission’s attention that breweries and liquor wholesalers are offering prizes to distributor salesmen to push certain alcoholic products. In some instances, he said, elaborate catalogs have been printed detailing the various prize offers. Mr. Fry pointed out that the 1935 Liquor Control Act specificially prohibits the “gift and favor” method of selling alcoholic beverages. The practice of offering prizes to stimulate the sale of some particular alcoholic product violates the spirit and intent of the control act, Mr. Fry said. Such prize offers are both a direct and indirect violation, he said, and unless they are discontinued will constitute the basis for revocation of permits. 537 MOTORISTS PAY FOR TRAFFIC STICKERS 10 of 11 Who Carried Cases lo Court Are Convicted.

BAHR FAVORS PSYCHIATRISTS FORSCHOOLS Maladjustments Should Be Detected Early in Life, He Says. SEES FAULT IN PARENTS Often They Unknowingly Contribute to Defects, Doctor Holds. Dr. Max Bahr. Central Indiana Hospital superintendent, today advocated the placing of full time psychiatrists in Indianapolis public grade and high schools to discover and correct maladjustments in pupils before they become mental diseases. He said that well-meaning parents generally are not equipped to notice and recognize symptoms of unbalance between a child's personality and his environment. Many times, he said, parents actually create or contribute to these maladjustments, without knowing it. Unchecked, the maladjustment may, and often does, develop into a mental disease that requires institutional care, generally tax supported, he said. A pupil with (such maladjustments, Dr. Bahr said, would be detected by psychiatrists. The psychiatrists would discover and correct the maladjustment, and a life would be saved for a useful career. Addresses Medical Society Dr. Bahr’s stand on the school matter was revealed when he developed for lay consumption an address he delivered last night before the Indianapolis Medical Society on the same subject. “I have long appreciated the advisability of placing psychiatrists in public and other schools.” he said. “I have collected hundreds of cases over a period of 30 years, and their history shows that many of them could have been arrested by a competent psychiatrist at grade school age. “As it was, they were allowed to go uncorrected and a large percentage of them are now in institutions or were in institutions before they died. Glassification Is Urged “Some universities have staff psychiatrists, but frequently the cases of pupils that old are so far advanced before the patient goes to college, that they are terribly more complicated. “My plea is for the classification and study of children as they enter school, since social service, whether medical, educational or recreational finds its greatest opportunity early in the life of the individual. “Indeed, what is dene for the child during the first 10 years of life is infinitely more important than anything that is accomplished later. Children Should Be Watched ‘‘Our educational methods should be modernized and specialized in accordance with the variety of human nature and needs in so far as is possible. “In order that a balance is maintained in their personality development, children must be watched closely. This is the only way a sounder mental race is to be built.” Dr. Bahr pointed out that the ratio of mental patients in institutions to the population of Indiana is about one to every 320. He said that ratio has been static for nearly 20 years.

Green, Quoting Former Strike Breaker, Accuses Terre Haute Firms of Maintaining Spy System

BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON. D. C, April 15. Special attention may be given the so-called Terre Haute system of alleged labor espionage by the La Follette committee as the result of correspondence filed with the committee today by President William F. Green, of the American Federation of Labor. This correspondence, supplied largely by TANARUS, N. Taylor, Terre Haute labor leader and former president of the Indiana Federation of Labor, details an alleged setup of labor spies as late as Dec. 10, 1935. This was months after the general strike at Terre Haute, but the

Dog Mystery A yellow, female German police dog, suffering from some strange animal dementia or trying to point out the scene of a tragedy, kept its vigil on the bank of Fall Creek near Fort Benjamin Harrison this afternoon. It has been there since Saturday, apparently looking for someone or something. The dog was seen with three boys w'ho fished in the creek Saturday afternoon. No one saw the boys leave. Except for the few minutes that it is out foraging, the dog has remained at the bank. It has left tracks for a 400stretch in the sand. Sometimes it runs up the bank, and often it walks with its head down. A piece of cloth, having a reddish stain similar to that made by lip rouge, seems to have attracted the dog s attention. When Deputy Sheriff Walter Davis put this cloth in his pocket today, the animal became angry. One heel print from a woman’s slipper has been found near the water edge. There are no other woman's footprints near there.

DUCE'S FORCES CLAIM DESSYE * Report Comes as Class of 1915 Is Called to • Colors. By United Press ROME, April 15.—Italian soldiers smashed their way today into Dessye, grand headquarters of Emperor Haile Selassie and 145 airline miles from his capital, Addis Ababa. As they did so, youths of the class of 1915, born as Italy was entering the World War 21 years ago, responded to a call to the colors to back up Premier Benito Mussolini's defiance of Great Britain and the League of Nations. Baron Pompeo Aloisi, Mussolini s envoy to Geneva, was about to begin talks with Salvador De Madariaga, representing the League on the possibilities of peace wdth Ethiopia —and to tell him that there would be peace on Italy's terms when Ethiopia’s resistance was broken. By the occupation the Italians w'rested control of every important caravan route between Addis Ababa and all of northern and northeastern Ethiopia from the eastern part of the front to Lake Tana over by the Sudan. THREE-WAY DEFENSE PACT IS CONSIDERED Britain, France, Belgium Meet to Perfect Plan. By United Press LONDON, April 15.—General staff chieftains of the British, French and Belgian fighting forces met today to perfect a plan for mutual defense in event Germany attacks France or Belgium pending the adoption of a general plan for European peace solidification. It was understood that a major feature of the plan would be to reply to any German attack with a terrific aerial bombardment by massed fleets on German industrial centers, railways, army headquarters, airdromes and seaports.

KNOX, HORNER VICTORS IN ILLINOIS PRIMARY TEST; HOOVER RAPS F. D. R. TALK

Spreading Employment Has Been Tried and Failed, Says Ex-President. HAS PLAN OF HIS OWN Restoration of Long-Term Confidence Great Need, He Insists. By United Press TALO ALTO, Cal., April 15.—Lashing back at President Roosevelt’s first campaign speech, former President Herbert Hoover advanced a five-point governmental program today as a medium of obtaining “a restoration of long-term confidence.” He directed a four-square attack specifically at the President’s Monday night address in Baltimore and assailed New Deal activities as destroying “confidence in the future.” Mr. Hoover charged that the President once again is urging an unem'ployment relief program that already has proved a failure as an emergency measure. In advocating shorter hours without pay reductions as a measure for reducing unemployment. Mr. Roosevelt “finds himself on the horns of a dilemma,” he said. Wants Confidence Restored As an alternative to the Democratic plan, Mr. Hoover suggested: “(a) Reduce government expenses; <b) Balance the budget; (c) Establish a real currency; (and) Stop these movements and threats of inflation; <e) Stop these other activities which destroy confidence in the future.” “Then we ■would get a restoration of long term confidence,” he said. “We would secure long time capital. We would create new enterprise, new employment, new jobs. It would start replacement of wornout plants. It would give the sinews and start the building of much needed and better homes.” He ' said the Administration’s shorter-hours plan “as a long view developed in American life, is the most desireable end.” “But as an emergency measure it was tried and failed two years ago,” he said.

CRATER MAN-MADE, SCIENTISTS BELIEVE Linton ‘Meteor’ Caused by Explosive, They Feel. Times Special LINTON, Ind., April 15.—A crater, originally believed made by a falling meteor, was caused hy the discharge of a high explosive, Indiana University scientists concluded today after a fruitless search for the bolide. Profs. W. A. Cogshall and C.' A. Malott reported they found nothing but a piece of steel ware after digging six feet down into the crater. Dr. Thomas C. Pulter, scientist and second in command of the Byrd Antarctic expedition, advanced a similar theory last w'eek after an investigation of the crater with a magnetic balance. - NEW SCHOOL TERM IN CITY TO BEGIN SEPT. 8 Closing Date June 4, 1937, Also Fixed at Routine Meeting.

Legal Move With Senator Sherman Minton as a prospective candidate for one of two vacancies on the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, Gov. McNutt today watched closely the outcome of the Illinois Democratic primary’. Observers pointed out that Senator Minton's chances for appointment would be improved by the nomination and re-election of Gov. Henry Horner, w'ho is a former judge and might be elevated to the Circuit Court if he lost the gubernatorial race.

ILLINOIS VOTE OPINION VARIES Heavy Democratic Poll Is Gratifying to Party, McNutt Says. Indiana Democratic and Republican leaders today saw in the Illinois primary vote an “ending of the boom for Borah.” a “voto of confidence in President Roosevelt” and a “heavy Democratic vote due to the gubernatorial battle.” Gov. McNutt said: “It is gratifying to Democrats that there was such a large turnout of party voters. I think the heavy vote was partially a showing of confidence in the President, and partially because of the primary race between Gov. Horner and Bundesen.” He said that any intepretation of the Bo-rah-Knox battle must necessarily consider the large liberal element backing Borah in the November election, he believes, a portion of that liberal element will vote Democratic. Don Irwin, G. O. P. state chairman, laid the heavy Democratic primary vote to the gubernatorial race. He said he saw no signs indicating that Indiana might be led into the Knox fold because of Borah's apparent defeat. Raymond S. Springer. Republican candidate for nomination as Governor said: “Closeness of the Democratic gubernatorial race had a lot to do with the heavy voting.” Dick Heller, campaign manager of Lieut. Gov. M. Clifford Townsend, claimed the excessive interest in the Democratic primary showed that the rank-and-file of voters favor the policies of President Roosevelt and that the vote augurs well for a Democratic victory in November. E. Kirk McKirfney and Pleas Greenlee, Democratic gubernatorial candidates, could not be reached.

REPUBLICANS SEEK CHANGE IN RELIEF Believe States Should Direct Aid Activities. By United Press WASHINGTON, April 15.—Republican plans to fight for return of relief administration to the states W’as added today to a strong bipartisan drive to earmark nearly half of the proposed $i,500,000,000 work-relief appropriation. Senator Arthur Vandenberg tMich.) mast active of Senate Republicans, said he expected almost unanimous Senate Republican backing for his proposal to “demobilize Washington” relief and return administration to the states. Observers regarded his revelation as indicating a possible Republican form of campaign attacks on the Works Progress Administration. Vandenberg and others have charged the WPA is “shot through wdth politics, graft and waste.” House Democratic leaders discounted opposition efforts to the appropriation, last of major Administration measures expected at this Congress.

Borah Gains Downstate, but Fails to Overcome Chicago Handicap. GOVERNOR GOES AHEAD ‘Landslide’ in Rural Area Sends ‘Machine’ Foe Out in Front. By United Press CHICAGO, April 15.—Illinois chose her “favorite son,” Frank Knox, as a Republican candidate for President today in preference to Senator William E. Borah, former Illinois farm boy. Borah. Idaho Liberal, carried the downstate agricultural communities by a small margin in yesterday's primary, but his lead there was too small to overcome the astounding gains which the Chicago publisher established in his home town. Returns from 5197 out of the state's 7430 precincts gave Knox, 311.135; Borah, 247.289. Tw’o-thirds of these precincts were in Cook County (Chicago). Tabulation of vote from late-re-porting downstate communities may narrow the margin and produce an "indecisive vote” of the type which political prognosticators declared would injure presidential aspirations of both men. 1,000,000 Vole for F. D. R. President Roosevelt, unopposed | for the Democratic preference vote, I apparently polled more than 1,- | 000,000 “complimentary" votes. A downstate landslide" won the Democratic renomination for Gov. Henry Horner against the Chicago machine-sponsored Herman N. Bundesen. Returns from 5540 precincts gave: Horner. 551,643; Bundesqn. 529.950. However, only a little more than half of these precincts represented I the downstate communities which I were reporting margins as high as 10-to-l for Horner. Kelly-Nash Machine Beaten Chicago, after months of mud- | slinging and a wild day of electioneering. marked by kidnapings and sluggings, voted 3-to-2 for Bundesen, its health commissioner. The gubernatorial race was viewed as a defeat for the KellyNash machinp which broke open Illinois Democratic ranks by sponsoring the doctor’s candidacy. The national Administration remained in the background, recognizing the immense Chicago popularity of Mayor Kelly and Patrick Nash's position as Democratic National Committeeman. Horner has been strongly pro-Roosevelt, yet could not win the Roosevelt indorsement against the Chicago machine. C. Wayland Brooks, Chicago attorney, won the Republican nomination for Governor, against former Gov. Len Small. Returns from 4959 precincts gave: Brooks. 366.634; Small. 162,804. The presidential issue and the bitter quarrel between the KellyNash machine and Gov. Horner attracted a record vote of 2,500,000 votes. It was the first clean-cut test r,f strength between the two Repubaspirants for the presidency. The 57 Illinois delegate votes at th Republican convention will be uninstructed, but yesterday's expression of the voters will be considered "advisory." ROOSEVELT IS WINNER IN NEBRASKA VOTING Leads Borah, Landnn and Knox by Wide Margin. By United Press OMAHA, Neb.. April 15.—Nearly two-thirds of Nebraska voters indicated their preference for President Roosevelt against the three Republican candidates entered against him in primary ballots counted today. Senator William E. Borah, only candidate entered officially against Mr. Roosevelt, carried the bulk of Republican votes, but lost many to Alf Landon. Kansas Governor, and Frank Knox. Chicago publisher. Returns from 1103 out of 2002 precincts gave: Roosevelt. 62.906. Borah, 35,895. Landon's name was written into more than 5000 ballots from these precincts, Knox's name into at least 100, although neither wss officially in the contest. Former President Herbert Hoover was named for vice president in at least 200 ballots. FLOGGING CASE JURY SELECTED, LOCKED UP Six Men to Hear Evidence Against Tampa Policemen. By United Press BARTOW.

The jury was locked up and court was recessed until tomorrow, when the states’ witnesses will start their testimony.
