Finland Seeks To Finance Olympics HELSINGFORS, July 15 (U. P).| —Definite assurance that the 1940 Olympic games will be held in Finland was received by Finnish Olym- | pic officials today from Count Henri

le Baillet-Latour, International ! Olympic Congress president. | In a telegram, Count Baillet-La-tour said, “if Japan withdraws from ' the Olympic games the Interna-| tional Olympic Committee offers | holding the games in Finland.” Thus as soon as the games are | officially abandoned by Japan, thev | will be transferred to Finland, if | present plans are carried through. Representatives of the government of Finland and Helsingfors municipal authorities immediately began negotiations to finance the games.

Japan Drops Olympics

To Press War in China TOKYO, July 15 (U. P.).—Japan officially gave up the 1940 Olympic Games today. The Cabinet decided

that the war in China had cost too much in men and money to permit expenditures for athletic events. Japanese Olympics Committee officials reluctantly drafted a formal notice of cancellation which will be delivered to the International Olympics Congress. It had been impressed upon them that prosecution of the war against China was of | vital necessity and that it might -ndure two years longer when Western athletes would be invading the | Far East if the games were held | here.

Rebels Claim Gains On Way to Valencia

HENDAYE, French-Spanish Frontier, July 15 (U. P.).—Despite Loyalist denials, Rebel headquarters in Zaragoza claimed today that their forces were driving steadily toward Valencia. The Rebels claimed to have chopped off Loyalist salient into! their lines and cut off a large Loyal- | ist force south of Mora de Rubielos. |

Refugees Promised Aid as Parley Ends

EVIAN, France, July 15 (U. P).— President Roosevelt's International Refugee Conference closed today with all representatives affirming that they would help promote the emigration of racial, political and religious refugees from “oppressive” countries to new homes abroad.

OLIVER

SOUTH BEND, July 15 (U. P.).— Mrs, Joseph D. Oliver, widow of the late farm implement manufacturer, died at her home here late yesterday after suffering a stroke of apoplexy. Funeral services are to be held tomorrow. She was the widow of James Oliver, inventor of the Oliver plow, who died in 1933. Surviving are four children, all of South Bend.

WIDOW DIES]

8 Arabs Killed by

Bomb in Jerusalem

JERUSALEM, July 15 (U.P).— Eight Arabs were killed and 12 wounded today when a bomb was thrown into a vegetable market in David St. in the old section of Jerusalem, Three of the dead were women. Seven of the injured were in serious condition. Police and troops established a cordon around the district in an effort to prevent further violence.

Jews Fearful

Of Racism in Italy ROME, July 15 (U. P.).—Italian Jews feared today that Italy was at the point of embarking on a racial program which would exclude them from membership in the “Italian race” and deny them privileges accorded to “pure” Italians. Jews were not alone in giving this interpretation to a 10-point racial creed prepared by a group of university professors working under the auspices of the Popular Culture Ministry and published in the authoritative newspaper, Giornale d'Italia. While Jews were anxious over their future, observers generally were interested in the reasons for publication of the credo at this particular moment. They were baffled,

| and Government officials gave no

explanation. Jewish quarters were inclined to believe that the credo foreshadowed the official adoption of a racial program which would tend to increase restrictions against Jews. They did not believe that Italy would go as far as Germany has however, Jews now occupy important positions in the national life, and even in the Fascist Party itself. There was general belief that for

| one thing the Government intend-

ed to keep a closer watch on the inflow of foreign Jews, who have been coming to Italy in great numbers from Germany, Austria and Hungary,

Japanese Bombers

Fail to Reach Hankow SHANGHAI July 15 (U. P)— Twenty Japanese bombers started

out for Hankow today but never reached their objective and reports indicated

they might have been defeated by China's rejuvenated air force. The Japanese planes attempted to raid Hankow, the provisional capital, at noon when thousands of civilians were in the streets, in another of a series in which they were blasting a way for their troops advancing on the Wu-han district—Wuchang, Hankow and Hangving the military heart of China. Both sides indicated that the fighting in the vicinity of Kiukiang, one of the key points in the Hankow defense, was bitter. It appeared, that the Chinese were holding their own and throwing kack every Japanese attack.

CHANGE IN BEER LAW DISCUSSED

Legislature May Be Limited To Two Weeks; Few Bills Drafted.

(Continued from Page One)

ceived requests to draft only eight measures, in addition to those to be sponsored by Three requests were for bills dealing with repeal of the ‘gadget law.” The others were for bills to prohibit the sale of fireworks, to amend a local bridge law, to change the sale date of automobile license | plates from Jan. 1 to July 1, to abolish the State convention in favor of primary election for State officials and to establish a companion measure to the Federal wage and hour bill. ‘ None of the three requests for bills dealing with repeal of the socalled “gadget law” follow exactly the plan of Administration leaders, who are drafting a plan of their own. Opinion Vacates Post

While no effort probably will be made to limit introduction of bills, majority leaders will attempt to bury in committee those measures which do not have administration approval. This might make possible an adjournment of the session within two weeks, although the constitutional limit of a special session is 40 days. : Meanwhile Attorney General Omer Stokes Jackson ruled that when a legislator accepts another State office he automatically vacates his legislative post. Mr. Jackson's opinion was given at the request of Dr. George E. Denny, medical superintendent at Muscatatuck Colony for Feeble Minded at Butlerville, but was believed also to apply to Floyd J. Hemmer, recently appointed superintendent of the Indiana State Farm. Dr, Denny was a member of the Indiana House of Representatives and Mr. Hemmer of the Senate. “The law is well settled that the acceptance of one office under the Constitution vacates any other office held by such person,” the opinion said. The Constitution provides that one person cannot hold two lucrative State positions at the same time,

Expense to Be $20,000

Expenditures to be made by the State for the building program are expected to be limited to approximately six million dollars. Using this entire amount for matching funds, the total cost of the program including the anticipated PWA grant would be approximately 11 million dollars. Welfare costs such as old-age pensions now are paid 50 ver cent by the Federal Government, 30 per cent by the State and 20 per cent by counties. The proposed change to beconsidered by the Legislature would enable the State to take over a portion of the counties’ share. The bill appropriating expenses for the special session has been drawn for $20,000. This amount is to pay expenses including salary of legislators, printing and other items. The average daily cost of a legislative session is $1400. Budget Committee members and Administration leaders still have announced no definite site for the $650,000 tuberculosis hospital for southern Indiana, one of the major projects in the institutional building program. The Governor said he expected this hospital would be built on State-owned property.

Two Projects Approved

The Budget Committee yesterday approved construction of two projects to be financed from the regular State building fund appropriated by the 1937 Legislature. One of these projects calls for construction of two cottages at the Epileptic Village at Newcastle costing $6500 each, and the other for water system improvement at the Evansville State Hospital, costing $10,000. . Because all available convict labor at the State Prison at Michigan City now is being used to construct a new service building, the committee delayed approval of a $130,000 expenditure for a new prison hospital building.

Hughes Praises Others For Success of Flight

(Continued from Page One)

and if it should possibly increase the sale of American planes abroad and thus create a few new jobs for American men in the aircraft factories of this country, then I shall feel well repaid for my time and effort.” Mayor La Guardia told Mr. Hughes the flight was more than a personal triumph and a triumph for aviation. He said it was a significant contribution to world peace, knitting nations together in a common interest in such peaceful pursuits as civilian aviation. Gertrude Ederle, Com. Richard E. Byrd and others have made the march up “Heroes’ Highway,” but New York reserved for Mr. Hughes

its greatest demonstration since the | city gave its heart and its hand to |

Lindbergh in 1927. Hughes Is Calm

Mr. Hughes approached his hour |

of glory nonchalantly, almost indifferently. At noon, the scheduled hour of starting, he was lolling in

his hotel room in a dressing gown, |

dictating letters to a stenographer. Reluctantly, he climbed into his clothes, got into an automobile and went to the starting point of the parade. Public acclaim is a worse ordeal for the shy, modest Texas millionaire than any of the dangerous waste spaces of the world he crossed in his record-smashing flight around the world. It was 12:45 p. m. before the Fireboat John J. Harvey, lying off the Battery, gave three shrill blasts as a signal for starting the parade.

Throng Increases

The crowd swelled as workers poured out of the skyscrapers for the noon hour, Grover Whalen,

president of the New York World Fair, and former official greeter for the City of New York, learned years ago that the best time to hold a parade here is at the lunch hour when thousands are on the streets. Motorcycle police and patrol cars, moving at half-speed, led the way uptown through the canyon of skyscrapers. The first automobile in line carried Mr. Hughes and Mr. Whalen. Lieut. Thomas Thurlow and Harry P. Connor, Hughes’ navigators, were in the second car, and in the third one rode Richard E. Stoddart, radio engineer for Mr. Hughes, and Edward Lund, flight engineer, Mrs. Stoddart, Mrs. Thurlow and Mrs. Connor were in the sixth car behind those occupied by World's Fair officials. Before the parade started up Broadway, Mr. Hughes handed to newspapermen a written statement, explaining why he undertook his hazardous flight.

Flight Carefully Planned

The statement read: “I have written this out because I am afraid I might get nervous and not say just what I want to. You may rest assured no one has written it for me. “I am not very good at making speeches and I have consented to make this one only because there is one thing about this flight that I would like everyone to know. It was in no way a stunt. It was the carrying out of a careful plan because it was carefully planned. “We who did it are entitled to no particular credit. We are no supermen. Any one of the airline pilots of this nation with any of the trained Army or Navy navigators and competent radio engineers in any one of our modern passenger transports could have done the same thing. “The airline pilots of this country, who in my opinion are the finest fliers in the world, face much worse conditions night after night during every winter.

Praises Inventors

“If credit is due anyone, it is due to men who designed and perfected to its present remarkable state of efficiency, the modern American flying machine and equipment. “If we made a fast flight, it is because many young men in this country went to engineering school, worked hard at drafting tables, and designed a fast airplane and navigation and radio equipment which would keep this plane upon its course. All we did was to operate this equipment and plane according to the instruction book accompanying the article. “With the most advanced and newest equipment developed, my navigators and radio engineers furnished me with accurate information as to the position of the plane at all times, so that I estimate for the total trip we traveled only 20 miles more than the shortest distance between the points of take-off and landing. “We made no unscheduled stops. We arrived at every point within a few minutes of the estimated arrival time, “We waited not one minute for weather, flying blind or above the clouds for over three-fourths of the

z

entire trip. We did not even see the Atlantic ocean.

Product of Long Work

“The plane is fast because it is the product of over 200,000 hours of engineering efforts. “Flying practically every minute at the particular altitude most favorable to the plane's performance, depending on its weight, which constantly varied as fuel is consumed, and at the same time changing the horsepower as weight reduced, we at no time used over 590 of the 625 horsepower per engine available for cruising. We arrived at every

stopping point with almost 200 gal|lons of fuel, which was the reserve | decided upon. “I have been asked what I consider the most important purpose served by this flight. I do not know that any purpose has been served. However, I do feel this; the airplane was invented and originated in the United States. Since then, the countries of Europe have taken from us, | one by one, all of the aviation records until at this time the United States does not hold one major record. Others Hold Records

“The speed record for seaplanes is held by Italy. The speed record for land planes is held by Germany. England holds the altitude record and Russia, with its magnificent flight of last year, holds the distance record. On top of this, there has been a great deal of talk to the effect that our Army and Navy planes do not compare favorably with those of Europe, “Now if this flight has done a little to show that American engineers can design and American workmanship build just as fine airplanes, engines and aircraft equipment as anyone in the world, and if this should possibly increase the sale of American planes abroad and thus create a few new jobs for American men in the aircraft factories in this country, then I shall feel well repaid for my time and effort.”

Hughes Passes Up House

Before retiring last night, Mr. Hughes had slipped away in a taxicab and tried to reach the town home of his girl friend, Katharine Hepburn, the actress. But a crowd was in front of the house and Mr. Hughes motioned his driver on without stopping. He proceeded then to his hotel. Miss Hepburn, whose engagement to him has been often reported and denied, had telephoned the airport four minutes before he landed and left her telephone number. The messenger was unable to get through the crowd to inform Mr. Hughes that she was waiting for him. She had come by automobile at 11 a. m. from her parents’ home in Saybrook, Conn. Of his own achievement. he spoke humbly. “I was out to find out how well some of the new flying equipment works. it works fine. I've got notes on everything that happened—40 pages of them—and I even drew a map of northern Siberia because our coast guard maps were all wrong.” His first scare came when his fuel supply ran low as he crossed the Atlantic to Paris last Monday, and he doubted it would last until he reached land.

Periled in Siberia

The other was after he took off from Yakutsk, Siberia. “It's a good thing I didn’t try to fly out of Yakutsk by night,” he said. “The maps were all wrong. We came across mountains which the maps showed at 6500 feet, to find they were 9000 feet high and covered with snow. The wing tips were laden with ice and we had to climb sharply to keep from crashing.” Edward Lund, flight engineer, returned to find himself involved in a romance that surprised him. His 19-year-old secretary, Elinor Hoagland, had announced Tuesday that she was engaged to him. Mr. Lund, questioned about her announcement, said: “I don’t know what this marrying talk is all about. I never said I'd marry her. I'm not engaged to her and I don’t plan to be. I wouldn't get married to anyone.” Mr. Hughes said: “My plane was too small for the Paris hop because of the amount of gas which had to be carried. We hgd a wing load of 47 pounds to the square foot—the greatest wing load I have ever heard of, including the Schneider Cup races, and I took oft with 25,600 pounds.” The takeoff from Floyd Bennett Field was the most dangerous part of the entire trip, he said. He had to attain a speed of 125 miles an hour before leaving the ground.

PLANS TO ASK HOUSING VOTE

Fritz Seeks Council Action Despite Real Estate Board’s Plea.

will name its members this week. He estimated the survey will require two months to complete. The board's action was the latest development in current proposals for large-scale slum-clear-ance projects in Indianapolis. By setting up a Housing Authority, sponsors of this plan believe they can obtain funds from the Federal government for housing developments. Mr. Whelden favors a private slum-clearance program, but the board failed to take any action on his proposal when he presented it vesterday. He said he will turn it over to the survey committee for consideration. Considerable sentiment developed against a public program, however, at the Real Estate Board meeting. Holds Move Inevitable

Members seemed to feel that private groups can do a better job.

Ford V. Wood, board vice president, warned, however, that cre- | ation of a local Authority is in-| evitable. “We can't stop it,” he said, “but | we should delay it as long as we can.” He charged that national and state housing officials “have gotten together to get a local Housing Authority to take over Lockfield Gardens.” This $4,000,000 model-homes development for Negroes, was built by the Federal Government and is being operated by the United States Housing Authority. “The politicians are waiting for a chance to build another Lockfield,” Mr. Wood continued. He explained present state laws on public housing programs, and said they would permit the proposed local Authority to take over Lockfield Gardens. Any action would be premature until “we know what percentage of the population is inadequately housed,” Mr. Whelden said.

MRS. JONES UNABLE T0 PROVIDE BOND

Remains in Jail, Facing Charge of Assault.

Unable to provide $2500 bond, Mrs. Etta Jones, acquitted recently in the fatal shooting of a 12-year-old Beech Grove girl, must remain in jail while awaiting trial on another charge. Mrs. Jones’ bond was reduced from $5000 yesterday by William E. Reilley, Criminal Court judge pro tem. She is held on a charge of assault and battery with intent to kill Mrs. Lottie Schuler. It was for the death of Mrs. Schuler’s stepdaughter, Helen Schuler, that Mrs. Jones was tried twice at Danville, the first trial resulting in a deadlocked jury and the second in acquittal.

Divorce Plan May Be Costly For Barbara

LONDON, July 15 (U. P.).—Society gossips, speculating today on prospective moves to dissolve the marriage of Countess Barbara Hutton Haugwitz-Reventlow, asked: “What price divorce?” Some averred the pride of Count Court Haugwitz-Reventlow was so wounded by the Countess’'s charge that he had threatened to harm her and to shoot “like a dog” a mysterious man of whom he was jealous, that he would fight any divorce proceedings. Most people expressed confidence that there would be a friendly arrangement for eventual divorce. As part of any agreement, the Count would seek to make sure he had a word about the upbringing and education of Lance, their 2-year-old son. It was believed that the cash settlement from the Countess’ 40-mil-lion dollar Woolworth fortune would far exceed the $1,250,000, it was said in court she had offered, but might

Injured Youth

Rescued From Mountain Peak

SALT LAKE CITY, July 15 (U. P.) .—A party of newspapermen and deputy sheriffs today reached the summit. of 10,000 foot Mt. Olympus

and found Roger Carney, 24, who had been lying near the top of the rugged mountain since early yesterday with a broken leg. Mr. Carney was placed on a stretcher and deputy sheriffs, working in relays, started the perilous descent to the floor of Salt Lake Valley. Officers said it would be late afternoon before the party reaches the foot of the mountain where the youth can be placed in an ambulance and rushed to a hospital here. Word of the rescue was brought to Salt Lake City by Mrs. Dean S. Carney, the injured youth's mother, who had maintained an all-night vigil at the base of rock-studded Mt. Olympus. “After abandoning their search last night, the rescuers restarted at dawn this morning,” Mrs. Carney said. “They looked over the area near the top of the hill for nearly two hours before locating Roger and Harold Rapp, who had stayed with him all night. The search was directed by Brayton White, who was with my son and the Rapp boy yes-

| terday when Roger broke his leg.”

CRASHES INTO SEA

Water and Air Craft Hunt

Bodies Near Sardinia.

CAGLIARI, Sardinia, July 15 (U, P). — Warships and planes searched the waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea between Sardinia and Italy today for bodies of victims of a

plane crash which killed 16 passengers and the crew of four. Warships picked up six bodies and the wreckage of the plane, off Port Arbatax on the east coast of Sardinia last night. The victims included two sisters and a niece of Gen. Giuseppe Valle, undersecretary of aviation. Most of the others were schoolteachers, including two women, who were on the way home to various cities in Italy after acting as state examiners in the summer examinations in Sardinian schools. The plane left Cagliari at 7:35 a. m. Wednesday. Late last night an official communique announced the plane had not arrived at Rome. Almost immediately afterward it was announced that all aboard were lost. It was estimated the plane crashed about an hour after it left Cagliari.

INFIRMARY FUND GIVEN APPROVAL BY STATE BOARD

Delay in Moving Julietta Patients Forces New Appropriation.

An additional appropriation of $29,109.24 to finance operation of the Marion County Infirmary on Tibbs Ave. until Jan. 1 was approved toe day by the State Tax Board. The State Board also refused Criminal Court Judge Frank P, Baker's request for $15,000 to ine vestigate alleged primary election frauds and a $6300 request to pay primary election expenses. Small additional appropriations in various Marion County departments were approved. In explanation of the Infirmary appropriation State Tax Board Chairman Philip Zoercher pointed out that the Legislature had proe vided that patients at the Julietta Hospital for the Insane be transferred to State institutions and that Infirmary inmates be moved to Julietta.

Acted in Good Faith

It had been estimated that both the State and the County would complete necessary building alterations and make the patient transfer before July 1. “The officials of Marion County acted in good faith when they pree pared their budget for the maine tenance of the Tibbs Ave. infirmary only for the period ending June 30, 1938, and made no provision for the remainder of this year,” he said. Neither the State nor the County are expected to be ready to complete the patient transfer before Jan. 1. Provision is to be made in the 1939 budget to be drafted in a few weeks, to take care of the additional ape propriation.

0. M.T.C. HOLDS REVIEW TODAY
