He warned, however, that builders must not cheapen houses so much that the homes built today become the shuns of tomorrow. Mr. Watson is to discuss Purdue's experimental housing work at a luncheon today at the Home Show. Gov. McNutt extended a “hearty Hoosier welcome” to guests from out of the state and pointed out that the importance of the Indianapolis Home Show has been recognized by the Federal government, as shown by the co-operation given it by the FHA. Mayor Kem Speaks “Indianapolis is a typical American city in a typical American state,” Mayor Kern said, “and has more fine homes in proportion to its population than any other city in the country. Our home show grows better each year.” Mr. Olive read a congratulatory telegram from Stuart McDonald, national FHA administrator. Mr. Peters pledged the state FHA to carry the message of the American home to all the people of Indiana. Mr. Creviston, who formerly was national adjutant of the American Legion and had his home in Indianapolis, said that the Indianapolis Home Show sets the standard for the nation. He paid tribute to J.

Building of 230-Mile Gas Line to Detroit Is Starting Near Zionsville

i

BY FREDERICK G. MATSON Time* Financial Editor Hf lONSVILLE, Ind., April 17. Construction of the 230-mile gas pipe line from Zionsville to Detroit is under way today, with steam shovels, drills and trenchers operating at top speed in this vicinity, scarcely 15 miles from Indianapolis. The pipe line, which is to furnish natural gas to Detroit from the Texas Panhandle fields, is being built by the old Indiana Gas Transmission Corp., now absorbed by the Michigan Gas Transmission Corp., both susbsidiaries of Columbia Gas and Electric Corp. Operations were begun this week. The iine Is to join the main artery that runs across Indiana from Illinois, cuts through the northwestern tip of Marion County and extends to Ohio and the East. Thus Zionsville will become the switching point ior the spur to Detroit. tt tt tt T'HE magnitude of this latest undertaking, which is expected to be completed by July 1, is evidenced by some interesting figures. In Indiana alone there are nine crews of labor involved, each crew comprising 200 men. This means that 1800 jobs will be created for the work in this state. With the exception of skilled workers, all labor employed will be local. Headquarters for the crew now working here at the starting point are at Noblesville. Men from other districts will be employed as the line progresses northeast. The total investment for carrying natural gas to Detroit involves approximately $17,000,(>00, officials said. Forty-four thousand tons of steel, at a cost of $3,500,000, have gone into the manufacture of the 22-inch pipe for the ZionsvilleDetroit spur. tt tt tt BEFORE the new pipe is ready for service, three compressor stations will be constructed along the line in Indiana. Operated to keep the gas at an even pressure, they will be locatd at Montezuma —near the Indiana-Illinois state line, at Zionsville and at Fort Wayne. Building of the new spur is the result of a contract negotiated last year between the Panhandle and Eastern Pipe Line Corp., which owns the line from Texas through Illinois; the Columbia Gas and Electric Corp., (through its subsidiary, the Michigan Gas Transmission Corp.) and the Detroit City Gas Cos. Two Killers Executed By United Press OSSINING, N. Y„ April 17. Peter Mohlsick. 20, and Howard Eickler, 21, of Peekskill, were/executed in the Sing Sing electric chair last night. They murdered Ray Pearce, a filling station attendant, and stole his automobile.

4 OUT IN FRONT IN G.O.P.RACE FOR GOVERNOR

Springer, Evans, Hillis and Rogers Said to Lead in Delegate Pledges. (Continued From Page One) former G. O. P. nominee for governor, and Rep. Evans, of Newcastle, are reported having the edge in promises from delegates who have agreed to go down the line for them if elected at the primary. Harry E. tfichols, Madison, state campaign manager of Mr. Springer, today said that his candidate should enter the convention with between 400 and 500 delegates. It takes 867 votes to nominate. Claims Strong Springer Backing “We believe we will, conservatively, put over between 400 and 500 delegates in the primary,” Mr. Nichols said. “Our strength is growing. It gained in leaps and bounds after a group of Republicans met in rump convention in the Columbia Club and attempted to select a fresh candidate to bear the party banner against Mr. Springer. “This,” he added, “reacted against them and gained support for Mr. Springer.” Mr. Nichols claimed a large group of Springer delegates would be elected in the Marion County primary. He said that with the primary a little more than two weeks away the man they had to beat is Mr. Evans. Backers of the Newcastle legislator claim he is gaining ground in rural districts and among taxpayers’ organizations as well as cutting into strongholds heretofore acknowledged safe Springer territory. Evans in Whirlwind Campaign Mr. Evans has been speaking night and day in school-houses and town halls. His campaign headquarters have been wherever his valise was parked for the night. Mr. Springer, also busy, has the following meetings scheduled: Tonight, Muncie; Sunday, Jasper; Monday noon, Rising Sun; Tuesday, Richmond; Wednesday, Cumberland; Thursday, Columbus; Friday, Ellettsville; next Saturday, April 25, Linton; and on May 2, Salem. The campaign of Mr. Hillis speeded up during the past week, observers agreed, with the opening cf headquarters in the Majestic Building, Indianapolis. Next week Mr. Hillis, Kokomo business man, is to #peak in the Seventh and Eighth congressional districts at Evansville, Princeton,

Vincennes, Boonville, Petersburg, Jasper, Washington and Shoals. Mr. Rogers, Lebanon attorney and former state Republican chairman, is considered one of the possible compromise candidates of the state convention. The Sixth congressional, his home district, is conceded him and in addition he has scattering, yet substantial, support among many friends and organization workers throughout the state. Mayor Bangs is popular in some communities, it is said, but this popularity is not expected to carry much weight with the gubernatorial “sculptors” of the party. ■ Mayor Beecher entered the cam-

paign rather late. Mr. Hillis’ exact strength is Inore or less problematical at this juncture, Republican leaders say. Both are said to entertain hopes that the convention will turn to them in event of a deadlock. Joseph A. Andrew, Lafayette, state Representative, is one of the dark horse candidates receiving considerable mention. The fact that his home is the former residence of Harry G. Leslie, former Governor, has caused Republican leaders, it is said, to consider Mr. Andrew as not being ready to lead the party ticket.

Bromley Oxnam. De Pauw University president, and Bishop Edgar Blake, Detroit, who presided at today sand yesterday's sessions. Dr. Oxnam, who has been accused by the American Legion and other organizations with too liberal tendencies at De Pauw reviewed the charges made against him.

Bishop Blake, who also has been charged with liberal views, asserted the nation would be free from undemocratic forms of control if the church would “wake up.” “In my judgment,” he said, “there is not much danger that communism, fascism or any other ‘ism’ will have much effect in this country if the Christian church would wake up.” Oxnam Is Praised Arthur H. Sapp, Huntington“attorney, and Owen J. Neighbors, Wabash school superintendent, praised Dr. Oxnam. They asserted they saw no valid reason for attacks upon him or for questioning his patriotism.

Kramer, treas--urer, Richmond.
