King’s Visit to Paris Spurs Czech Negotiations |

PARIS, July 21 (U. P.)—A solu- | tion of the minority problem in! Czechosolvakia, wich has plagued | Europe and threatened general] peace, is imminent, it was indicated | today by George Bonnet, foreign | minister, | M. Bonnet announced that after | consultation with Stefan Osusky, | Czechoslovak minister to Paris, al situation has been evolved favorable | to Czechoslovakia. | The state visit of King George | and Queen Elizabeth of Great| Britain has given statesmen of France and Britain an opportunity "to confer on European political problems and seek a united RritishFrench stand to solve them,

King Sees Army Display

Returning from Versailles, where King George had lunch after witnessing a display of France's military might in review, M. Bonnet said he had been in conference all day with Viscount Halifax, British Foreign Secretary. He gave optimistic reassurance that a Czech solution was near. His optimism was unofficially attributed to a decision of the two powers to put pressure on President Edouard Benes of Czechoslovakia to discontinue his resistance to negotiating the minority problem with the Sudeten Germans. It was announced that President Lebrun had accepted the King's invitation to visit London and would do so early in 1939. The King and Queen will leave for London at 10:30 a. m. tomorrow. During the day, France gave King George a vivid picture of her military might, to back up her demonstrations of friendship and expression of willingness to co-operate. One of the greatest military reviews in French history was held for the King’s benefit.

Sudetens Threaten To Withhold Votes

PRAHA, July 21 (U. P.).—Senators and deputies of the Sudeten German Minority Party will abstain from voting if the government tries to push its proposed minorities statute through Parliament without first negotiating with Konrad Henlein, German minority leader, a spokesman said today.

President Names Wiley

Foreign Minister

WASHINGTON, July 21 (U. P.). —The State Department announced today that President Roosevelt has appointed John C. Wiley, of Indiana, minister to Latvia and Estonia. Mr. Wiley was consul general in Vienna and ranking American officer in Austria before that state was absorbed by Germany.

300 Planes, 150 Tanks Fail to Budge Loyalists

HENDAYE, French-Spanish Frontier, July 21 (U. P.).—Three Rebel attacks, preceded by a violent artillery barrage and airplane bombings, failed to break the Loyalist “stone wall” front before Sagunto and Valencia, Government dispatches asserted today. The Insurgents were said to have opened a major offensive in the Toras and Benafer secters, about 30 miles inland from Sagunto, but failed to crack the Government's “spider web” system of trenches. Even the attacks of 300 planes and 150 tanks failed to dislodge the Loyalists. The Nationalists reported, however, that their advance down the highway was progressing “satisfactorily.” They claimed to have captured El Tormo, Torrachina and Montanejos without difficulty and to have swept on south of the Mijares River. More than 180,000 Government troops, forming a wall extending from Viver to Sagunto and across mountainous countryside to Liria and Valencia, blocked alfost every Insurgent attack.

To Impress Russians

TOKYO, July 21 (U. P.).—Japan plans a troop demonstration before the hill on the Manchukuo-Siberian frontier which Russian soldiers have occupied, allegedly in Manchukuoan territory, a foreign office spokesman said today. The spokesman continued to express the opinion that unless the Russians, impressed by the planned demonstration, withdrew from the

| hill it might be necessary for Japa-

nese troops to drive them away.

In a dispatch from Hsinking, the newspaper Yomiuri reported that Manchukuoan authorities had abandoned efforts to settle the incident by diplomatic means.

How seriously the government views the latest of many frontier incidents in recent years was shown when Gen. Kazushige Ugaki, foreign minister, reported the situation to Emperor Hirohiti this afternoon. There was considerable activity among cabinet members, also, and Prince Fumimaro Konoye had a conference with Gen. Seishiro Itagaki, War Minister. The foreign office spokesman, who is chief of the first section of the foreign office information bureau, seemed to hold the hope that a demonstration of strength before the disputed hill, in the Changkufeng area not far from the coast, would be sufficient. Under Japanese military custom, troop commanders on the spot exercise wide discretionary authority in such incidents. According to reports here there were about 300 Russian soldiers in the vicinity of the disputed hill and it was asserted that field artillery, cavalry and other reinforcements were approaching. Newspapers published prominently unconfirmed reports of Russian troop activity in the frontier area, and of the arrival of Russian warships in Possiet Bay on the coast dpposite the disputed hill.

China Moves Government

Offices From Hankow

HANKOW, July 21 (U. P.)—All civil administrative offices not directly connected with the military service were ordered today to move to Chungking, substitute provisional capital up the Yangtze River in Szechuan Province. The order, including the foreign office, means that the foreign embassies also will move to Chungking. A United States embassy spokesman said Ambassador Nelson T. Johnson would go to Chungking shortly. A Chinese foreign office spokesman said the early removal was prompted by the slow progress of civilian evacuation of Hankow, in view of the Japanese advance, and that it was believed merchants and others would leave more quickly if the civil office were moved. However, he insisted that the removal was not connected with any change in the military situation. Meanwhile, however, Chinese officers reported they were counterattacking south of Hankow. The counter-attack was started, it was asserted, despite increasing pressure on the Chinese lines from reinforced Japanese and daily bombings of the entire military district as far up the Yangtse River as Hankow, 160 miles away. The Chinese claimed they occupied the strategic highlands overlooking Pengtseh, east of Hukow, cutting Japanese communications between Matang and Pengtseh.

Ex-Members of Heimwehr

VIENNA, July 21 (U. P.).—Prince Ernst Von Starhemberg and nthers of the former Heimwehr Guard were reported today to be seeking peace with Nazi authorities. Nazi leaders, meanwhile, were making preparations to celebrate Sunday the anniversary of the July, 1934, unsuccessful putsch which the Heimwehr helped suppress.

MILL HAND, 90, ON JOB FOR 62 YEARS

NEWNAN, Ga. July 21 (U. P.).— Sixty-two years making patterns and doing other mill tasks for the R. D. Cole Manufacturing Co. here is the record of J. Frank McSwain, who recently celebrated his 90th birthday. McSwain willingly accepts present conditions as he looks back upon his 62 years doing his work well, “There's a joy in doing an honest day's work,” he said. “I would not be anywhere else in the world if I had my choice. “You didn't come here to see an old man, did you? Wel, you won't. I'm not old. I'm just 90 years young. “And I'm not thinking of retiring. All this business about a man being through at 65 is a lot of bunk. I may get fired, but I'm not retiring.” Known affectionately as “Uncle Mack,” the nonagenarian savs, “My health is as good as it ever was. My hands are a little clumsy, but that is the only difference I can notice.” McSwain is the proud owner of a gold medal presented to him by his fellow workers for his service and his work for them and in their behalf.

OLD-AGE PENSIONERS PLEDGE TEMPERANCE

DALLAS, Tex., July 21 (U. P.).— Six old-age pension clients here have filed resolutions with Supervisor J.

Malicious Damage to U. S. Bombers Reported

PHILADELPHIA, July 21 (U. P)). ——The Philadelphia Daily News in a copyrighted story today said that five bombing planes recently were damaged by sabotage at the naval aircraft factory here. The News said that G-Men and counter-espionage officers are investigating, “Merest chance revealed the damage, presumably the work of foreign spies,” the article said. “A few hours before the routine check flight of the ships, a sagging wing revealed that cables and support guys in the wings of five recently overhauled seaplanes had been maliciously weakened or severed—spelling sudden and sure destruction for the planes and crews if the flying craft had gone aloft.”

SENDS CUSTOMERS TO RIVAL DRUGGIST

OMAHA, July 21 (U. P.).—When T. H. Miller, druggist, decided to go on his first vacation in 16 years he posted a sign on his door for his customers to read that was calculated to explain his absence, direct his business to his rival and then bring them flocking back when he returned. On his hand-printed sign, Miller explained that he had gone fishing for a month because “my doctor says, ‘either lie down in a boat and pull up fish, or lie in a box and push up daisies’.” In order to keep the business in his neighborhood Miller printed: “The next best drug store in this neighborhood (and it’s a good one) is our competition just ‘cat-a-corner’ across the street. Patronize him. We'll appreciate it. Don't take vour trade downtown.” Miller added the following to insure that his customers would not forget him during his vacation: “Thanks for your past trade and good will—be sure and come back when we get back—Lord knows we'll need you.”

CLAIM MINNESOTA CRADLED EARLY MAN

COLLEGEVILLE, Minn., July 21 (U. P.).—Belief that men described by prehistorians as Early American once roamed in Minnesota was expressed by the Rev. Fr. Henry Retzek, West Union geologist, at a Minnesota Academy of Science meeting here. Father Retzek based his belief on recent archeological discoveries he had made in the state. The evidence of four major relics, including his own “Sauk Valley Man” found in 1935, he said, points to this probability.

curred at approximately 2 a. m, In their report, the deputies said they found a partly emptied bottle of gin in the wreckage of Mr. Baker's light coach, which was demolished. The car was owned by his mother, Mrs. Beulah Mae Baker, Greenfield. After the auto struck the truck, it bounded across the highway, landing on its side. The motor was torn from the chassis and landed 30 feet away. Starter, generator, hood, lights and other parts were scattered over the highway. More than 70 yards from the wreckage, deputies said they found a piece of the windshield to which the title card holder still remained attached. The top of Mr. Baker's head was severed. He was identified through his driver's license. Mr, Jacobs was not held, but he was ordered by Dr. Hugh K. Thatcher, deputy coroner, to report at the Coroner's office for questioning. Miss Martis Vanderburg, 37, Dayton, O., a hitchhiker, was cut on the left leg and foot and bruised on the right shoulder and side when the car in which she was riding overturned here. Albert Kemper, 1221 N. Bancroft St. driver of the car, told police he picked up Miss Vanderburg at Vandalia, Ill, and was driving toward Indianapolis on Route 40. Near Plainfield he drove off the road when he swerved to avoid striking a pedestrian, Mr, Kemper said. The car struck the gravel shoulder and overturned twice. Mr. Kemper was cut and bruised on the left leg and foot. Robert Lee Lux, 16, of 1521 Hiatt St., was treated at City Hospital for a wrist injury received when his bicycle collided with a truck yesterday at Richmond and Miller Sts.

HEARING SET AS COMPLETION OF RECOUNT NEARS

Certification of Feeney as Winner Virtuaily is Assured.

The contest of primary election ballots will go before Special Circuit Court judges next week following completion of all vote recounting by tomorrow night. The fate of 4400 ballots in the Democratic sheriff race will be at stake during the Court hearings, The validity of these ballots were challenged during the recount by Al Feeney, -declared loser of the race, and Charley Lutz, certified as the sheriff nominee by the canvassing board following the primary. With only 24 more precincts to be checked, Mr. Feeney today was assured virtually being certified as the nominee, Delay in the certification to Circuit Court is expected, however, because 257 missing unvoted County ballots have not yet been found. Certification of Democratic mayoralty totals also is being delayed because of missing ballots. Mr. Feeney’s net gains during the entire recount climbed to 2496 for 312 precincts, wiping out the 2255 final plurality given Mr. Lutz with 241 votes to spare. “I estimate I will be ahead about 275 votes when the recount is finished,” Mr. Feeney said. “Of course, I hope to get a larger plurality in Circuit Court during hearings on several hundred votes for Mr. Lutz that I have protested on the ground of illegal voting.” Mr. Feeney’s recount total for the 312 precincts is 21,018 compared with 20,779 given him by the canvassing board. Mr. Lutz’ recount total is 20,656 compared with 22,913 the canvassing board gave him. Meanwhile, investigators for the Grand Jury were selecting from Republican ballots those precincts in which wide variances allegedly were found in Democratic ballots.

Hopkins Rebuke in Kentucky Denied; Labor Aids Barkley,

NATIONAL POLITICS

KENTUCKY WPA foreman denies reprimand. C. 1. O. and A. F. of L. united on Barkley.

WATSON spends $6100, Willis $2120 in Indiana. G. O. P. seeks spoils system data (Page 13).

By HUGH FORSTER Times Special Writer PRINCETON, Ky. July 21.—Lee Cardin, Kentucky WPA supervisor, whose alleged activity in politics brought a statement from Harry L. Hopkins three weeks ago that Mr. Cardin had been ordered to “mind his own business,” denied here today that he had been reprimanded. Administrator Hopkins, in his statement of June 30 commenting on a series of Kentucky dispatches by Thomas L. Stokes of Indianapolis Times and other Scripps-Howard newspapers, conceded that Mr. Cardin had distributed cards among WPA workers calling for data on their political affiliations. “We have taken steps,” Mr. Hopkins said at that time, “to see that this man minds his own business. He was told that ‘any such activity on his part in the future would result in his being fired.’ ” Mr. Cardin was WPA supervising timekeeper in Edmonson County at the time he was reported to be distributing the cards in the interest of Senator Barkley's renomination campaign. He is now property officer for WPA’s Madisonville district,

No Demotion

The transfer, he said here today, was neither a promotion nor a demotion. It was in no way connected, hg said, with his supposed distribution of cards. Mr. Cardin talked freely but forbade direct quotations except on remarks that he carefully wrote down in duplicate. He intimated that the only official word he had received concerning WPA and the primary elections was contained in a general letter sent to all WPA executives by Mr. Hopkins. “We've all been instructed by a circular letter from Mr. Hopkins to tell our voters to vote as they please,” he said.

Denies Political Activity

He denied having been active politically. “I have never questioned anyone whether he was a Republican or a Democrat,” he said. “I never have asked a WPA worker whether he was for Barkley or Chandler. I never was a politician and I don’t know anything about politics. “You can ask any WPA worker in Edmonson County whether I cver told them how to vote or asked them how they voted.” Asked if he had distributed cards asking for voting information, he shrugged and said with a laugh: “I don’t know about it. You'll have to ask Mr. Hopkins.” He said that Mr, Stokes’ dispatch

mentioning his name was a come plete surprise to him, and that he knew nothing about it until a week after it had been published.

Green Warns President On A. F. of L. Stand

WASHINGTON, July 21 (U. P.), —Organized labor united today to support Senate Majority Leader Barkley for renomination against Governor Chandler in the Kentucky Democratic primary. President William Green and the American Federation of Labor joined President Roosevelt, the C. I. O., the Railway Labor Executives’ Association, and Labor's Nonparti« san League in urging Mr. Barkley’s re-election. The primary is Aug. 6. Mr. Green's action marked one of the few instances in which the die vided labor camps have united for political action. The other case is in Maryland, where all labor groups are backing Rep. David J. Lewis against Senator Tydings for the Democratic nomination. Mr, Green, serving as a “guest commentator” on the Mutual Broadcasting System network last night, announced the A. F. of L.'s indorsement of the Senate Majority Leader, who, he said, “voted favor= ably with a single exception upon all measures sponsored and ape proved” by the Federation. He emphasized, however, that Mr, Roosevelt cannot automatically exe pect federation help in his came paign for “liberals” and against “conservatives.”

Watson Reports $2500 Contributed

WASHINGTON, July 21 (U. P), —The Senate Campaign Investigate ing Committee said today that fore mer Senator James E. Watson had reported expenditures of $6100 in his campaign for nomination by the Indiana Republican State Convene tion. He listed $2500 in contributions, including $1000 from Arthur R. Bax-

ter, Indianapolis; $500 each from Burrell Wright, Indianapolis, and Fred E. Bryan, Chicago, and $250 from H. E. Capehart, Buffalo, N. Y. Raymond E. Willis, who won the nomination, reported contributions of $2229 and expenses of $2120.
