CITES NEED FOR AID TO YODN6 JOBLESS Dr. Coffman Seeks Active Community Fight. There must be a revival of community responsibility In the development of the 12,000,000 young persons who since 1929 have reached working age, Dr. Lotus D. Coffman, University of Minnesota president, told 150 Indiana University alumni who attended a Founders’ Day banquet at the Marott last night. “Among many groups there is an attitude of letting nature take its course,” he said. “This attitude casts a blot upon the intelligence of our people. Although we have our CCC camps, such emergency measures tend to take our young people from their home communities, churches and schools.” In the course of his address, Dr. Coffman denounced war as a solution to the employment problem of young persons. Dr. William Lowe Bryan, I. U. president, and Go\\ McNutt also spoke. Chairman of the meeting was Sherwood Blue, retiring president of the Indiana University Club. The Woman’s Alumnae Association was represented by Mrs. Walter O. Lewis, who also spoke. Singing of university songs was led by Prof, and Mrs. D. D. Nye.

COAST PRIMARY BRINGS HOOVER 00T0FJXILE’ Ex-President’s Victory Over Landon Adds Mystery Touch to Race. Times Special WASHINGTON, May 7. Napoleon came back from Elba and Herbert Hoover has come back from Palo Alto. Napoleon had his 100 days of glory, before Waterloo and a bleak island. Mr. Hoover is guaranteed 35 or 36 days, for the Republican convention will not take him for its candidate, if the politicians are to be believed. , But once again the tall, stoutish figure of the ex-President emerges to contribute a flavor of mystery and expectancy to the Cleveland convention, by virtue of the victory of the uninstructed California delegation over that sponsored by William Randolph Hearst, which was to have been delivered to Gov. Alf M. Landon of Kansas. It s the same sort of mystery that Calvin Coolidge supplied the 1928 convention to plague the Hoover forces up to the last minute, with politicians still trying to interpret the enigmatical “I do not choose to run.” The situation was duplicated for the Roosevelt forces at the 1932 convention by Alfred E. Smith and the “allies” who never went into action. Wants Voice in Platform Mr. Hoover delivers the final of his series of speeches against the New Deal a week from tonight at Philadelphia before the Republican Women’s Club, and it is anticipated that the radio may carry a tone of elation. As his text he has chosen the subject, “A Republican Program,” and it is assumed he will tell his party about the state of the country and what ought to be done about it. Above all else, Mr. Hoover is determined to have a voice in the platform and now he will have his opportunity. He also would like to have something to say about the candidate. That is not so certain, but now he’ll at least be able to stick his head in the tent. That is the most significant thing about the California primary from the Republican standpoint. Claim Hearst a Handicap If the ex-President had been defeated in his own state it would have reduced his influence at Cleveland almost to zero. He was fighting with his back to the wall—and he knew it. A Landon victory would virtually have clinched the nomination for the Kansan. His defeat, the first set-back he has suffered, did not dampen his friends’ confidence in his nomination. They pointed to his previous successes, his apparent margin over Senator Borah in South Dakota and the pledging of Tennessee’s delegates. The Governor's sponsors contended, in the first place, that some of the delegates in the successful California slate will be for him, and then added that the Landon slate was handicapped by a reac-

tion against Mr. Hearst and that the fight, in the last analysis, came down to one between the publisher and Mr. Hoover for control in California. Steiwer Boom Hinted Some suggested that one result might be to “take Hearst off Landon’s back,” as it was put, since the publisher failed in the one attempt he has made to handle the Governor’s affairs directly. William Allen White, of Emporia, another publisher who has espoused the Landon candidacy, has publicly recommended that the Governor disavow Mr. Hearst. Like any upset in a string of successes, the Landon defeat will have its psychological effect, give new life to those who would “stop” him. For instance, there were rumors here today that the next few days would see a boom floated for Senator Frederick Steiwer of Oregon, who is to be the convention keynoter. QUINS GIVEN PIANOLAS EARLY BIRTHDAY GIFT DaFoe, Nurses “Hope” They Can Get Used to Noise.

COOLIDGE SALE ANGERSJRIEND Auction Is ‘Disgrace’ to Northampton, Former Partner Says. By United Press NORTHAMPTON, Mass., May 7. —Probate Judge Henry P. Field, in whose office Calvin Coolidge studied law, today assailed as “disgraceful to the city of Northampton” the Coolidge auction which attracted hundreds of persons to Smith School arena. Judge Field, president of the board of trustees of Forbes’ Library, which possess many important Coolidge mementos, said: “Some of the furniture being auctioned is a bunch of junk. I believe that Mrs. Coolidge (now vacationing abroad) would stop the sale if she were here. “When people outside Northampton see the motion pictures of the auction, they will get the impression that we are allowing valuable Coolidge memorabilia to be disposed of at public sale. It is a disgrace to the city.” Judge Field, a long-time friend of the Coolidge family, pointed out that even while Governor of Massachusetts Mr. Coolidge began donating articles to the library, and that the city had appropriated money for maintenance of a special memorial room in the library. “Mrs. Coolidge has kept the best of her furniture,” the judge said, “so she may reoccupy The Beeches should she desire to do so at some future time. Thus, a lot of the furnishings being auctioned today are merely castoffs which in many cases do not do justice to the memory of the former President.”
