‘IT WAS A CLEAN FIGHT,” SAYS MR. WILLIS

Watson's G. O. P. Leadership Ends as Willis Is Nominated

Two from Marion County On State Republican Ticket.

1063; Starr, 345; Wills, 328; Watson, 23, and Bossert, 1. In addition to the Rush County vote, Mr. Watson received five from Gibson and one each from Fulton, La Porte, Madison and Randolph Counties.

After the roll call was announced, the Willis nomination was unanimously approved by acclamation, Soon the new nominee was posing on the platiorm with his opponents Starr and Wills. Smilingly he spoke into the microphone:

“I'll make no speech now. But from this moment on my time will be at your disposal for the Republican Party of Indiana until we win this election. And we will win!” Mr. Willis at 62 is a substantial small-town publisher, He is a native Hoosier and a Wabash College graduate. He is head of the Steuben Printing Co. publishing the Steuben Republican and the Angola Herald. is long-time activity in the Indiana Republican Editorial Asso-

ciation and Rotary Club, of which |

he is past district governor for Indiana, gave impetus to his final selection. He also was the only one of the five candidates not a lawyer.

On Compromise Platform

Intimates of Mr. Willis say that he will stand four-square on the compromise platform adopted by the convention. They even contend that, if elected, he might support New Deal measures he thinks right. In his own statement regarding his stand Mr. Willis said: “The Republican Party today faces the greatest challenge which has confronted it since its birth. America is on the road which leads to spiritual and financial bankruptey.

“The Republican Party must make |

the fight for a return to integrity in government; for an end to political spoliation; for stubborn and

continuous defense of the Consti- |

tution; undictated functioning of the legislative and judicial branches in accordance with constitutional letter and intent; for equal rights under law for people of every class; for free speech as a right of the individual and a free press as the right of the people; for a return to sound finance in Government and a start toward a balanced budget: for an end to regimentation of people.” Senator Watson's defeat is expected to enlarge the orbit of power of Ralph Gates, anti-Watson leader from Columbia City, it is said. Although Glenn Hillis supported Mr. Wills, who hails from his home town of Kokomo, the Willis victory is also said to enhance the gubernatorial chances for Mr, Hillis in 1940, observers say.

| er declared, “we are not a house of spies and traitors. We are entitled to that protection which is necessary for us so that we may carry out those functions with which we have been charged.” The House cheered his remarks. The crisis was caused by the clash between Parliament and the War Office, headed by Leslie HoreBelisha, over how Sandys obtained the information about deficiencies in the air force defenses. The question was temporarily at a standstill when Mr. Chamberlin announced that an inquiry would be made by a parliamentary select committee.

U. S. Ship Secrets Obtained by Spies

NEW YORK, June 30 (U. P.).—The New York World-Telegram quoted an unidentified source close to the investigation of foreign espionage in this country as saying today that Germany and Japan had obtained plans of every type of destroyer built by the United States from 1930 to the end of 1937. A spy ring, 18 members of which are under indictment, is known to nave had considerable success purloining plans for Army pursuit planes, but it was not suspected it had been able to get data on the many American advances in destroyer construction in that period, the World-Telegram said. A Federal source was quoted, however, as saying that agents of the

‘Flares Into Violence

JERUSALEM, June 30 (U. P).— Jewish demonstrations against the Government protesting the executoday despite appeals for order by Jewish authorities. The bitterness aroused by the hanging of Solomon Ben Joseph for terrorism and possession of firearms flared into violence today when a land mine exploded beneath a camel caravan outside Rachel's Tomb, on the Jerusalem-Hebron road near Bethlehem. Three persons were injured and two camels were killed.

President Deplores

Rumors of War NEW YORK, June 30 (U, P.).— President Roosevelt reaffirmed his “good neighbor” policy in international relations today in a brief speech to an audience of foreign, national, state and city officials on the grounds of the 1939 World Fair. The President drove here from Hyde Park, N. Y,, to lay the cornerstone of the fair’s Federal building.

He urged the foreign officials to induce their countrymen to visit the United States in greater numbers so as to develop greater understanding and friendship between this and other nations. Cites War Threats “All of us realize, of course,” he said, “that the affairs of many parts of the world are, to put it politely, somewhat distraught. Such a condition necessarily accompanied wars

and rumors of wars.” The President said that while the

people of the Western Hemisphere were “happily removed” from the immediate pressure of war, they were nevertheless concerned “in a larger sense” because of the good relations the United States enjoys with all nations. The good neighbor policy, he said, was developed because the American republics were “against war” and had agreed “quietly to discuss” difficulties that may arise.

“Personal Equation”

Those ends were achieved, he said, because, in a large measure, leaders in the Western Hemisphere kept sight of the personal equation. In that vein he remarked: “In these modern days when so many new economic and social problems call for the revision of many old economic and social tenets, closer personal contacts are an essential to the well-being of nations. “All of us who are here today look forward to April, 1939, when this great exposition will be formally opened. It has been well said that you cannot hate a man you know. Therefore, this exposition will stand as a symbol of world peace for, without doubt, it is a useful advance on the patient road to peace.”
