Ludlow Amendment To Be Fall Issue
Times Special WASHINGTON, June 23.-—Head-aquarters of the National Council for Prevention of War served here today that “the peace issue will be raised in ever Congressional district” in the fall campaign. How Congressmen voted on the Ludlow war referendum resolution is to be one test of whether or not he receives the Council's indorsement for re-election officials said. Only four of the 12 Hoosier Congressmen refused to vote with their colleague, Louis Ludlow, to bring the mater to the House floor. They were Reps. Schulte, Farley, Jenckes and Larrabee. All four had previously signed the discharge petition
La Follette Decides
To Seek Re-election
MADISON, Wis, June 23 (U. P). Official sources close to Gov. ernor Phillip I. La Follette said today that he has decided to seek a fourth term as Governor because he believes it 1s the best position from which to promote nation-wide organization of his new party, the Nationa! Progressives of America. It was reported also that by seeking re-election, he hopes to repel threatened opposition to the Progressive state ticket next November from an anti-La Follette coalition of Republicans and Demo-

“President Should Obey Law"
“Personally,” Col. Knox said, “I am of the belief that the President of the United States should be the first among us to obey the law. “Aside from that, we are hearing, and business men, are to blame for the present depression. It is the Washington propaganda machine at work. . . . Today's depression is being used by public officials in a personal greed for power.” He said it is “proper” that the people's representatives in Government have the authority to investigate business. “But,” he added, “in common decency, no legislative committee should hide behind its cloak of im-
munity from court action, and make
charges it knows are not true. And no Government propaganda organization should indulge in misleading and untruthful statements. But that is the program that has been followed. A legislative committee to dig and a propaganda machine to Sprefd, ;
Norris Sees Liberal Defection From G. 0. P.
WASHINGTON, June 23 (U. P).— Senator Norris (Ind. Neb.) said today that the proposal of Republican National Chairman John D. M. Jamilton for a coalition of conservative Democrats with Republicans would “drive all the Republican liberals to the Democratic Party.” “They've driven a good many liherals out of the Republican Party already,” he said. | Senator Norris said that he would | be glad to see all conservatives in | one party, and liberals in another.
“I don’t care what they call them," he said.
Labor Party May
File New York Slate
NEW YORK, June 23 (U. P).— The American Labor Party, considered to have been the influential factor in the mayoralty election last vear, threatened today to‘ proceed
independently of either of the two major parties in the political scramble following the death of U. 8S. Senator Copeland. The move followed closely upon the announcements of Governor Lehman and Attorney General John J. Bennett Jr. that they would run for the Senate and Governorship, respectively. That slate, the Labor Party has decided, will not be acceptable to its members. Party strategists took the position that unless one of the two major parties presented candidates acceptable to the labor vote, the party would advance its own candidates. Republican leaders have conferred
frequently in the past two days with |
Labor Party chiefs, and there remained some likelihood that a fusion movement might develop from that alliance. Alex Rose, state Labor Party leader, announced that its choice of candidates was Sydney Hillman and Langdon W. Post. My. Post, an authority on housing, is the former New York Tenement House Commissioner, Mayor F. H. LaGuardia, who has shown no enthusiasm for the Democratic slate, has remained noncommittal,
Townsend Talks Of New Party
LOS ANGELES, June 23 (U. P). —Dr. Francis E. Townsend today threatened to put a third political party in the field to force adoption of his pension plan. He said such a party would, if necessary, provide a Presidential candidate, who “would be a businessman.”
GERMANS TAKE IDOL'S BEATING AS 600D LOSERS
Blame ‘Fantastic Shock’ on ‘Unlucky Circumstances’; Wife Informed.
BERLIN, June 28 (U. P.).—The defeat of Max Schmeling was a “fantastic” shock to German sports
circles, which found various explanations today for the quick victory of Joe Louis. The general tenor of press ecomment, however, was to take the defeat “as good losers,” and aseribe the “upset” to unlucky ecircumstances and possibly Schmeling's carelessness. The newspapers gave wide prominence to reports from New York that the German fighter had submitted to X-ray examinations which disclosed he had suffered two broken bones. Anny Ondra, Schmeling’s bheautiful movie star wife, was informed of his injuries in a trans-Atlantic telephone call from Max Machon, Schmeling’s second, the Boersen Zeitungammittag said. To these injuries the newspapers attributed the German's defeat, at the same time giving assurance that Schmeling had lost none of his country’s affections. This afternoon fake rumors spread in Berlin that Schmeling was dead. The Boersen Zeitung commented that “in the whole history of the world heavyweight championships there never has been such a quick decision.” “Louis had the advantage of being younger, but so quick a victory over a boxer of Schmeling's class could not have been scored in a | normal fight. “Just as the fight against Sharkey was decided by a kidney blow, uncalculable fate has overtaken Schmeling. Schmeling may be assured that the German sports public will continue to back him whether he quits the ring or not.”
Ready to Celebrate
“Max had to fight three opponents, namely, Louis, advancing age and certain unfair machinations,” explained the newspaper ZelfheurPlatz. “If Max did nct succeed it was not because there is a better boxer than he, not because Louis is a superman, For two years Schmeling had to wait for a fight which was denied him against all the rules of fairness and sportsmanship.” “Impossible!” Germans exclaimed at first, when the announcement came that Schmeling had been knocked out in the first round. It was 3 a. m. here when the fight started and 3:02:04 when it ended. Everybody had seemed certain that Schmeling would win. To permit a fit celebration of an Aryan victory, cafes and restaurants had been given special permits to stay open until § a. m, and they were crowded with celebrants. Schmeling’s wife did not learn of his defeat until breakfast time.

Count Talks With
Barbara's Father
PARIS, June 23 (U. P.).—A Hutton family council was held today at the Hotel Ritz over the differences between Count Court HaugwitaReventlow and his wife, the former Barbara Hutton, Woolworth heiress. The consultation was presumably over the custody of Lance, the 2-year-old son of the Count and Countess, and also, according to reports, over disposition of the five-and-ten fortune inherited by Rarbara. The principals were the Count, his mother and Franklyn L. Hutton, Barbara's father. The latter joined in by telephone from London. At its conclusion, the Count and Mr. Hutton, protected by four giant bodyguards, left the hotel separately. “I have nothing to say; I detest reporters,” the Count barked when questioned by newspapermen, “T will not talk of these absurd
stories about my litle girl,” Mr. Hutton said.
