Porter County Wedding Trade Still Booming
VALPARAISO, Ind, Nov. 15 U. P.) .—Marriage licenses issued by Valparaiso over the week-end totaled 115 today and definitely stamped this Porter County seat as Indiana's successor to Crown Point as the state's leading “marriage mill.” The week-end rush brought to 305 the number of licenses issued since Circuit Judge T. J. Sullivan in Lake County issued an injunction forbidding issuance of marriage licenses to any women who are not residents of Lake County. He acted under an 1852 statute which never before had been tested. Indiana “marriage mills,” including Valparaiso, have profited from the recent stringent Illinois law requiring medical examination of par-

MONTAGUE GOLF STILL MYSTERY
Biggest Links Gallery in History Forces Halt In Match.
NEW YORK, Nov. 15 (U.P).— John Montague remains the mystery man of golf today. Twelve thousand unruly fans upset his introduction to his future public on the Fresh Meadow Links yesterday, and forced him to retire after playing nine holes of a scheduled 18-hole exhibition match with Babe Ruth, Babe Didrickson and Mrs. Sylvia Annenberg, one of the East's finest woman golfers. It was probably the biggest crowd in American golfing history and it was the first time a sports event had to be abandoned because of the size of the gallery. The fans literally walked on the heels of the players, swarmed through sand traps, and paraded across greens with utter disregard of anything except a desire to get a closeup view of the show. So today “Mysterious Montague,” friend of Hollywood's golfing celebrities and central figure of many a Bunyanesque links story, remains an unknown because his public refused to let him play. Montague was paired with Mrs. Annenberg against the two Babes in an exhibition in the name of charity at the rate of $1 per head. Bill Corum and Grantland Rice, who ran the show, reported that 10,000 tickets were sold. Anybody can guess at the number who jumped the fences of the Fresh Meadow Club. The popular estimate was that 12,000 followed the bizarre exhibition.
Golf Reporters Stymied
Probably nobody saw more than half a dozen shots by any one player. Even golf reporters, exexperienced in finding their way through the mob, were stymied by the oddly assorted gallery. Final decision of Scotty Chisholm, the Los Angeles golf writer who flew here to referee the match, dressed in brilliant red kilties, was that the Babes won, 2 up. There were no medal scores because Monty and Mrs. Annenberg each picked up on two holes and all picked up on the ninth. Monty was four over par for the holes he holed out. So was Mrs Annenberg, Babe Ruth was three over and the other Babe, who played the best golf of the day, was two over. : The exhibit'on convinced some that Mr. Montague is really a golfer. He smacked powerful drives and long second shots. He's deadly with his approaches and putts accurately. Mink Coats Frequent
The crowd will go down in golfing history as one of the most fantastic ever put together. Probably not more than one out of every six had ever seen a golf shot made, even from a public driving range. Once Ruth was addressing his ball for a 15-foot putt. A spectator walked straight across the green, and strode between the Babe and hole. He didn’t seem to understand the rebukes from the golfminded spectators. Ruth just grinned. Costumes of the spectators were something to remember, Instead of tweedy clothes usually seen in a links crowd, there were high-heeled pumps, black-veiled hats, mink coats and cocktail frocks. All of the shots were made through narrow lanes of spectators.

the Farm Bill is ready instead of proceeding at once with piecemeal bills on Government reorganization.
Antilynch Fight Seen
A battle over antilynch legislation flamed as the Senate convened. Senator Adams (D. Colo.) seeks immediate consideration. New Deal Senate leaders hope to bring the omnibus Government Reorganization Bill to the floor to block the antilynch bill which is almost certain to run into determined South-
| ern filibusters.
The Senate end of this program, however, was headed for fireworks. Senator VanNuys (D. Ind.) ane nounced after a conference with Senator Wagner (D. N. Y) that a fight would be made to bring up the antilynching bill as the Senate's first business, This runs counter to the effort of Senate Majority Leader Barkley (D. Ky.) to get the Reorganization Bill up first in order to avoid danger of filibustering against the
Mr. Roosevelt proposed tax “modifications adequate to encourage productive enterprise,” but explained that he sought primarily to aid small business and would oppose tax favoritism to the corporate form at the expense of individual or partnership undertaking. The President said exercise of “ordinary prudence” would protect the nation against prolonged business recession. He explained that conditions now are not parallel with those which prevailed on the brink of the 1929 depression pit. Mr. Roosevelt reiterated his intention to balance the next fiscal year budget. He demanded that Congress find and provide new revnue for any added expenditures authorized now.
Plans Housing Program
This message eliminated antimonopolistic amendment of the antitrust laws from the White House special session agenda. But Mr. Roosevelt said he would have further recommendations for Congress, including proposals to encourage private capital to undertake housing construction on 'a big scale. Mr. Roosevelt definitely proscribed the limits within which amendments of the capital gains and losses tax and the tax on corporation reserves would be acceptable to him. He emphasized that he sought only removal of inequities bearing upon «mall business and upon nonspeculative investors. ~ Mr. Roosevelt said the problems of railroads and other public utilities were receiving renewed examination, a hint that he may relent in some degree in the New Deal attitude toward hydro-electrical power producers which have been a particular objective of restrictive administration. But the President said “thoroughly unsound financing extending over many past years” would make railroad and other utility problems difficult, In a fireside chat last night urging co-operation with the Federal Government in its attempt this week to count the unemployed, Mr. Roosevelt declared that the New Deal, through co-operative planning, would seek to curb industrial production excesses. Mr. Roosevelt said that, unlike some nations, “we Americans do not want to solve” the unemployment problem by starting huge armament programs. But he called for co-op-eration in “a sensible first step to a contsructive re-employment program” by registration in the employment censug to be conducted tomorrow,

329 Carriers Join in Local Distribution
Final instructions were issued today by Postmaster Adolf Seidensticker to 320 postal carriers for the opening tomorrow of the national unemployment census. The work is to begin with the morning mail delivery when cards will be left at the home of every Indianapolis eligible. Help given by civic, religious and professional groups in publicizing the census is expected to reach persons who otherwise might have been missed, Mr. Seidensticker said. Preachers of Protestant, Catholic, Jewish and' Christian Science faiths yesterday issued pulpit appeals to members urging unemployed to fill out their cards. Movie houses, posters, newspapers and Government groups carried the message to eligibles, pointing out information gathered through the census was to be kept secret.

40 Jews Held As Eight Dien Palestine Riot
JERUSALEM, Nov. 156 (U, P).— British authorities held approximately 40 leaders of the Betar Zion Revisionist Youth Organization today and further arrests were expected after a day of bloodshed in which seven Arabs and one Jewess were killed and nine Jews and Arabs wounded. All arrests were believed directly in connection with the disorders Sunday, by far the worst of the current outbreak. Those held included Eri Jabotinsky, Palestine president of the Betar organization, and Dr. Yoni Freuleich, former president. They were arrested at Tel-Aviv. Between 30 and 40 others were arrested here or at Tel-Aviv. Eri Jabotinsky is a son of Vladimir Jabotinsky, New Zionist Organization president, who is now in London. It was understood that the men now held, and any others who might be arrested, would either be imprisoned at Acre or deported. Arab leaders, at an angry meeting, voted to demand that British authorities impose collective punishment on Jews for the disorders.
F.D. R. STUDIES PLEA TO UNIONS
Considers Guarantee of 40 Weeks’ Work for Cut in Hourly Rates.
By ROBERT W, HORTON Times Special Writer
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.—President Roosevelt is considering a request to the building-trades unions that they enter into a “gentlemen’s agreement” to cut hourly wage rates 20 per cent in return for a guarantee of 40 week’s work a year, it was learned today. This suggestion was contained in a memorandum submitted to the President by the group of business and financial leaders with whom he has been conferring on plans to stimulate private home building. The President’s advisers have agreed that high wages in the building trades offer the principal obstacle to such construction, They are confident of obtaining substantial reductions on building-ma-verial cost, and leaders in that field will be called to the White House. They also expect little difficulty in arranging more liberal financing terms through amendments to the National Housing Act. The housing advisers, who met here most of last week, have now split up to do further individual research on various phases of the problem. ‘They are to report back to the President.
Opposed by Union Heads
The most delicate of these special missions is that pertaining to wages. Suggestions for lower hourly rates, even though a larger annual income be assured, have been opposed by union leaders though there have been indications that the rank and file might be more receptive, The present annual wage appears to average less than $1500. The President is said to be considering a plan that might assure as much as $1800. The method for carrying out this plan is still vague. Its development depends entirely on the reaction of union leaders. Attempts are under way to feel out these men, and if they are willing to cooperate they will be called to the White House.

mitted a four-point plan for concerted international action. Great Britain, France and Russia say they are willing to apply such measures if the United States will participate. The general impression here, however, was that Congress and United States public opinion would prevent President Roosevelt from joining a “quarantine” of Japan and that the conference will end in complete failure.
Japanese May Offer
Peace Terms Soon
SHANGHAI, Nov. 15 (U.P), -— Japanese authorities may offer peace terms to China after they reach Soochow, 45 miles west of Shanghai, it was reported today. Chinese defenses eastward of Soochow seemed crumbling, and a Japanese spokesman announced the capture of Quinsan, only 15 miles east of that city on which the Chinese defense line is to be based. The spokesman claimed advances on all sectors, including the extreme northern part of the front where, he said, Japanese reinforcements had landed on the south bank of the Yangteze River and attacked Changhsu, 20 miles north of Soochow. Thus three Japanese armies were driving toward the Soochow line, as a third force is advancing northward and westward from Hangchow Bay. There was speculation on the extent to which the Japanses would seek to penetrate inland particularly whether they would make an effort to go as far as Nanking, the national capital, which is 225 miles from the coast. It was understood, however, that the Japanese themselves did not know and that, as Gen. Iwane Matsui, Japanese commander in chief put it several days ago, it was up to Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, the Chinese nation’s leader, It was reported that Gen. Matsui, in the name of his Government, might offer peace terms as soon as the Japanese reached Soochow and then, if the terms were rejected, €ssay the Nanking campaign. The Nanking march would be a threat over China's head.
Peace Talk to Open In Three Capitals -
LONDON, Nov. 15 (U.P.) —Talks on European peace and security start in three capitals this week, and hope was expressed today that they might mark the beginning of a turn for the better in Europe's affairs. King Leopold of Belgium arrives tomorrow for a three-day visit to King George, and it was expected that he would engage in important conversations with Cabinet leaders. Paris reported that Leopold might even offer to preside at a new Locarno Treaty Conference, designed to replace the Locarno Trealy which guaranteed mutual aid against aggression among the Western powers. Here, it was reported that Leopold might eventually become intermediary between France and Germany. Lord Halifax, Lord President of the Council in the Cabinet, leaves for Berlin Wednesday on a “private” visit during which he is to talk to Fuehrer Adolf Hitler and other Nazi Government leaders. The third series of talks is to be held at Rome, between Lord Perth, British Ambassador, and Count Galeazzo Ciano, Italian Foreign Minister. It is uncertain when these talks will begin—probably, it was suggested today, not before the result of the talks of Lord Halifax at Berlin show a turn for better or
worse in Anglo-German relations.
