man Minton, speaking roles in the convention. A resolution may be presented at the distriet meetings urging that the two senators be heard by convention delegates. Gov. McNutt, as keynote speaker, and a short address by Samuel Jackson, Ft. Wayne, permanent convention chairman, are the only addresses scheduled by the program committee, Most Democratic incumbents of state offices were scheduled for renomination with but two expected battles. The race for Lieutenant Governor ‘brought out two announced candidates and a group of dark-horse possibilities. The announced candidates were William Storen, former state treasurer, and Edward H. Stein, Speaker of the House of Representatives. Earl Crawford, patronage secretary of the Governor, was said to, be the choice of the McNutt group.
Two Run for Treasurer
The state treasurer nomination apparently lay between the incumbent, Peter F. Hein, Crown Point, and State Senator Henry PF. Shricker, Knox. Delegates-at-large to attend the national convention in Philadelphia, June 22, were slated to be: Gov. McNutt, Senators Minton and VanNuys; Dan C. Tobin, Indianapolis; Miss Gertrude Fanning McHugh, Indianapolis; Mrs. Samuel M. Ralston, national committeewoman, Mrs. John W. Kern, widow of the late Senator, and Mrs. Emery Scholl, * state vice chairman. Incumbent state officers, reported unopposed up to early today for places on the state ticket were: Secretary of State August C. Mueller; State Auditor Lawrence F. Sullivan; Superintendent of Public Instruction Floyd I. McMurray; Supreme Court Judge Curtis W. Roll, Kokomo, and Walter E. Treanor, ‘Bloomington; Appellate Judges, William Dudine, Jaseph, and Fred Wiecking, Hartford City; Miss Emma May, Terre Haute, Supreme and Appellate Court reporter.
District Fight Possible
State Chairman Omer Stokes Jackson is to call to order tonight the Third District Convention. The district has no legally elected chairman. A fight may ensue over the naming of a chairman. In the meantime while delegates found themselves approached by backers of the gubernatorial candidates to shift their votes, the advisory committee framing the platform met to hear a plea of the Indiana Farm Bureau and taxpayers groups for a gross income tax repeal plank and ousting of the emergency clause in the $1 and $1.50 tax law. The congressional district meetings, scheduled to name presidential electors, national convention delegates, and convention officgrs, were to meet as follows: ~ First—Appellate Court Chamber, Room 413, Statehouse.

FD. R. DRAFTING NEW PLATFORM
Landon Message Seen as Compelling Stand on Constitution.
(Continued from Page One)
Federal government. Few thought the Republicans would seize the issue.
White Saw Opportunity But William Allen White, crusading Kansas editor upon whom Gov. Landon has relied for counsel for years, saw the opportunity. It never would have been thrown into the campaign, however, without the Governor's personal amendment, for the resolutions.committee turned it down. Republicans are on hotly sides of the issue, for the platform itself pledged the party “to maintain the American system of constitutional and local self-government, and to resist all attempts to impair the authority of the Supreme Court,” and some consider amendments on wages, hours and working conditions as assaults upon that authority. Gov. Landon’s states’ rights amendment idea was just such a stratagem as Mr. Roosevelt himself would appreciate, for it forces the Democrats to take a stand. Republicans. have hoped that Democrats , would go the whole way and declare for a constitutional amendment giving the Federal government the
would alienate many voters. Just how the Democrats will meet’ the issue no one can yet say.
Hints at Continued Fight
It is suggested that the platform might reiterate the need of legislation to protect working conditions, point out the New Deal's enactment of such laws and what the Supreme Court did to them, and then recommended a study to determine whether the problem might be met by a constitutional amendment impowering the states to enact such laws "and giving supplementary powers to the Federal government to protect states which enacted laws against states which refused. That Mr. Roosevelt intends to continue the fight for such reforms was shown in his speeches on his Southwestern tour, in which he insisted, again, that these matters are concerns of the Federal government. “If local government, if state government, after exerting every reasonable effort, is unable to better their conditions, to raise or restore the purchasing power, then surely it would take a foolish and shortsighted man to say that it is no concern of the national government itself,” he said at Little Rock. Gov. Landon’s proposed civil service extension was designed to open the way for an attack on Postmaster General Farley and his patronage policies. Proposal Held Utopian
In order to meet this issue, partially, Rep. Ramspeck (D. Ga.), chairman of the House Civil Service Committee, hopes to get enacted at this session his bill giving the President power to extend the civil service to all government agencies. He does not expect action, however, on a -companion bill putting Second, third and fourth-class postmasters under civil service. Gov. Landon's proposal is, somewhat utopian as regards postmasters. In the fight over it in the resolution committee at Cleveland, Southerners pointed out that postmaster patronage is about all the South ever gets out of the Republican Party. Democrats undoubtedly will declare at Philadelphia for extension of the civil service, but whether they will go as far as Gov. Landon per-: sonally-—though not his * party— went, remains to be seen. It might be pointed out that, despite all platform and campaign pretensions, the
service were by: second-term Presidents in a position to forget patronage needs. ‘ Republicans hesitated to attack the ‘Administration's gold devalua~ tion policy at Cleveland, knowing its popularity in the West, though Goy. Landon suggested a return to a gold convertibility basis when conditions justify. Democrats are expected to defend this policy staunchly by pointing to increase of prices for farm products. “Gold Democrats” will be in the minority at Philadelphia. The platform probably will look toward eventual stabilization in-
nations. Republicans declared for a return administration to

Answers to All Questions on _ Soldiers’ Bonus Details Listed
Methods of Payments to Veterans Outlined by Officials.
By United Press WASHINGTON, June 15.—Questions concerning payment of the soldiers’ bonus which have flooded government offices during the past several weeks, are answered in the following: Q—What is the soldiers’ bonus? A—It is “adjusted compensation” voted by the Congress for men who served-in the Army, up to and including the rank of captain, during the World War. Q—What is the rate of “adjusted compensation” in the bonus? A—One dollar for every day served iar the Army of the United States during the war; $1.25 for every day served overseas. (No payment for first 60 days of service in either category.)
Those Who Are Eligible
Q—Who is entitled to receive bonus payments? A—All who served in the American Army, Navy, Marine Corps, or in certain auxiliaries during the World War more than 60 days. Q—When was the bonus passed? A—The adjusted compensation payment act, authorizing immediate payment of the bonus, was passed by the House on, Jan. 24, 1936; by the Senate Jan. 27, 1936. / Q—How is the bonus being paid? A—By checks and bonds. Bonds of $50 denomination are made out In the name of the veteran for the highest amount of his claim divisible by $50. The remainder is paid by Treasury check, cashable at any postoffice or bank. \ -@==Are the bonds convertible into cash at banks? A—No. They may be converted only at certain United States postoffices or by being sent direct to the Treasurer of the United States.
How Cash Is Obtained
Q—How does a veteran obtain cash for his bond? A—Two hundred and forty-one postoffices have been designated as disbursing offices where bonds. may be redeemed. If the veteran .resides in the area of one of these postoffices, he ean take his bond to the postmaster, or one of the designated officials, give proof of his identity, execute the conversion contract on the back of the bond, and receive in return a Treasury check for the amount of the bond. If his local postoffice ‘is not one of the disbursing offices, the veteran must prove his identity to his postmaster or acting postoffice official, execute the conversion contract in the presence of that official, and turn the bond over to the official. He is given a receipt for the bond. The official then forwards the bonds to the nearest disbursing postoffice and a Treasury check will be sent the veteran by registered mail. Q—May a veteran convert one or two of his bonds into cash, and keep the remainder?
Need Not Cash All
A—Yes. He may convert one bond or as many ‘bonds as he wishes. The bonds purposely were issued in $50 denominations to enable the veteran to obtain some cash from his bonus and still retain some bonds as an investment or “nest egg.” Q—How does the veteran receive his bonus check and bond? A—Check and bonds are forwarded to him, either from the United States Treasury in Washington, or from the Federal Reserve Bank in his district, by reg-
bill
istered mail receivable only by|
himself. Q—Must a veteran identify himself before he can receive the registered package containing his check and bonds? A—Yes, to the satisfaction of the mail man, or postoffice employe in event the veteran goes to the postoffice to receive his package. The postoffice. employe or the mail man must know the .veteran personally, or must have incontrovertible proof that he is the person to whom the registered package is

$1,900,000,000. It is estimated that a total of 3,517,000 checks will be mailed, totaling several hundred million . dollars. Treasury experts believe the total bonus distribution will be approximately $2,300,000,000. Altogether, Treasury officials expect to use about 6,000,000 special checks in the payment of balance payments (amounts over and above the sum divisible by $50 bonds), and in redemption of bonds converted to cash. Bonds Not Taxable Q—Are the bonds taxable? A—No. They are exempt from Federal, state and municipal levies. Q—Can the bonds be used as collateral for loans. A—No. They are non-transfer-able, and therefore can not be used as collateral. Q—Will all the bonus claims be paid on June 15? A.—No. Due to the magnitude of the task of checking veterans’ records and claims, and bookkeeping and other mechanical requirements, it has not been possible ‘to complete the task in the allotted time. Q—How many bonus claims will be paid by that date? A—The number is still uncertain. Up to midnight Friday the Postoffice Department at Washington, and in each of the Federal Reserve Bank cities in other districts, had delivered into the mail the checks and bonds covering 2,670,514 bonus claims. This left approximately 900,000 still to be completed. -

“Your immediate prospects for obtaining employment are dise tinctly better than tnose of your predecessors of the past four and five graduating classes,” Dr. Wale ters told the graduates. “Scientists are allaying the fears that advancing technology has been responsible for unemployment,” he said, “by advocating a poliey of passing along the gains due to technological improvements in the form of lower prices, thus increas= ing the real purchasing power of the laboring clfiss. In the applica= tion of the scientific spirit and method to our economic and indus= trial order you have an immense opportunity,” he said. » “In the light of European experi mentation with Communism and Fascism we may more truly see the solid advantages of our capitalistic democracy. The democracy pOSSeS= ses a liberalism so precious that we must guard it with the courage and loyalty of our forbears. This liber= alism is the heritage of every true university.”
