Germany included, to avoid heightening the tension that hour by hour now was gripping Europe.

Sudeten Action ‘Deplored’

The text of the semi-official statement on the Czechoslovak problem

was: “Official quarters in London welcome the conciliatory attitude displayed by the Czech Government in suggesting a new basis for negotiation with Sudeten Deutsche leaders with the express object of meeting the latter’s fundamental demands. “The issue by the Sudeten Deutsche party of a proclamation relaxing the admirable discipline hitherto observed by the Sudeten Deutsche therefore is much deplored.” The sudden British incursion directly into the Sudeten German issue, which it had tried so hard to treat as if it were a friendly, disinterested observer, was regarded as due primarily to the Sudeten German Party proclamation.

Simon’s Speech Steadies Declining Stock Market

NEW YORK, Aug. 27 (U.P.)— Stocks declined further in early trading today on the European tension and steadied following publication of Sir John Simon's speech. The speech was interpreted favorably, especially Sir John’s remark that war was not inevitable. Leading issues came back a point or so from their lows, but.a majority continued under the previous close.

Hull Reminds Powers Of Peace Pact Obligations

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27 (U. P). —Secretary of State Cordell Hull today solemnly reminded signatories of the Kellogg-Briand Treaty of

their obligations under the anti-war pact in a move to maintain peace in the face of a grave European crisis. “Governments and people cannot be unmindful of their obligations and responsibility, for on the observance or non-observance of the solemn pledges made 10 years ago depends the preservation of all that is valuable and worthwhile in the life of each and every nation.” Earlier, Mr. Hull said the American record for similarity of thought

with the British on preservation of | ini

peace speaks for itself.

Rebels Kill 20, Wound 14 On Loyalist Warship

GIBRALTAR, Aug. 27 (U. P.)— The Spanish Loyalist destroyer Jose Luis Diez limped into Gibraltar today after 20 men were killed and 14 wounded in an attempt to run the Straits into the Mediterranean. The destroyer, completely refitted during months in French shipyards, left Le Havre last Saturday with orders to try to reach the east coast. Nearly the whole Rebel fleet was waiting for it, as were the big guns of the forts at Ceuta, Spanish Morocco, across the Straits.

BRIEF CAMPAIGN WINS SUPPORT OF DEMOCRATS

VanNuys Pledges Backing To Ticket at Session Of Committee.

(Continued from Page One)

ship tickets in cases where all township offices weren't voted on in the primary, also occupied attention of State Committeemen, This proposed ruling was introduced today at the suggestion of Mr. Jackson and is to be voted upon at the next State Committee meet-

g. : A memorial resolution to the late Richard A. Werneke, Terre Haute, was passed. Earlier, some association members had advised the introduction of resolutions urging the 1939 Legislature to re-enact a primary law for all state offices and to modify the existing Alcoholic Beverage Act.

Points to Platform

Walter S. Chambers, Newcastle, resolutions committee chairman and State Senator, said: “We felt that since the party already had given an expression of its policy through the platform at the State convention that it would not be wise for editors to open up controversial subjects now. “The time to do that would be at a midwinter meeting preceding a

State convention.”

At the association’s last meeting in Indianapolis several months ago, a resolution praising Senator Minton was adopted, but no specific mention was made of Senator VanNuys, who then was involved in a political dispute with the Governor.

Party Tension Relaxed A few editors objected to this discrimination but were voted down. The association today was particularly careful to show its friendship for the senior Indiana Senator. Relaxation of party tension which resulted when the Governor and Senator VanNuys patched up their differences and the Senator was renominated unanimously by the recent State convention, is responsible for the “old-home-week, old-pals-together” atmosphere of this meeting. A garden party and fashion revue for women and a trapshoot for men were to be held this afternoon. Senator Minton and Mrs. Virginia Jenckes, Sixth District Representative, also are to speak at tonight's banquet, over which Dean L. Barnhart, Goshen, association president, is to preside. Old Photos Get Laughs The opening day program yesterday consisted entirely of entertainment for visitors. Those who didn’t play golf or cards had time to gossip or put more mileage on their feet walking through the hotel lobbies.

Public Service Commissioner Fred |

Bays was the impresario responsible for last night's entertainment program which preceded the dance. Old pictures of leaders in Indiana Democracy were flashed on the screen and: were greeted with laughter. The baby picture of James Beatty, State Committee secretary, stole the show, and Mr. Beatty also was awarded a prize by the Governor for being on the

player during the golf tournament. An early snapshot of the Governor holding his son, Max, then a baby, also was shown, and Paul McNutt at 10, looked like a magazin® cover picture of a country boy going fishing. When tor VanNuys’ college graduation picture was shown, the audience responded with a warm applause. Ancient movies made 30 years ago were revised with such subtitles as “I may only be a poor stenographer, but you can’t dictate to me tonight.” A quartet from Clay and Sullivan Counties composed of Roy Shene, Russell Lillyblaze and Thomas Russell, sang of the woes -of the Republicans, and Jock Jenkins, Dugger, did his song and dance act. A composite newsreel on outstanding events in the Roosevelt Administration also was shown. Its campaign possibilities were being tested. Among the golf prize winners were Sam Boyd, Washington, who had low score for editors; Keith L. Johns, Lafayette, blind par tournament winner, and Frank McClurg, who won the French Lick Springs

Conference’

narrow country roads were filled with one-way traffic moving in the

direction of the farms. Mr. Capehart, wearing a large panama hat and smoking a large cigar, served as generalissimo of the rally, directing several hundred volunteer workers. Newsreel motion picture cameras stuck out above the milling, shirtsleeved crowds, while staff photographers from more than 60 newspapers sorted through the mob hunting celebrities. Nearly 35 bands from as many cities paraded the grounds before the afternoon addresses and could barely be heard above the broad-

casts from Mr. Capehart’s head- |

quarters. Several planes flew over the crowd.

Demands Explanations

Mr. Hamilton called upon the President to explain charges that “people in this country are foraging food from garbage cans” while Mr. Roosevelt's “henchmen, in kis name, use relief funds to buy their way back into office.”

Neither Mr. Roosevelt nor Mr. Hopkins( Harry Hopkins, WPA administrator) can escape responsibility,” he said, for the “present playing of politics with relief funds this

| year.”

- He also called on the President to explain the “stagnation of private industry, brought about by the policies which he has pursued during the last five years”; explain to the farmers why their income this year will be $1,100,000,000 less than it was last year,” and other “failures of the Administration.” “Let Mr. Roosevelt explain,” he said, “why tens of thousands of persons are reported to be in misery and distress after more than twenty-one billion dollars has been spent in the name of relief, public assistance, Federal works programs and emergency public works.”

Predicts Victory

Mr. Hamilton said that the RePublican campaign this year is the of a mighty fight to save the United States as we have known it for 150 years.” “We shall win that battle,” he said, “because Americans will not submit to defeat at the hands of those who, more arrogant than any King George III, play politics with human misery and regard the national treasury as theirs to be used in perpetuating themselves in office.” Rep. Wadsworth, charged that Federal funds have been used to “browbeat and terrorize men in

public life” and that the President |

had used the power of his office “openly and confidently in primaries and elections, in the allotment of funds, and in playing of favorites.” Claims Power Usurped He said “we all rejoice at the prospect” of the New Deal in 1933 and conferred great powers on the President. “But Mr. Roosevelt’s whole effort, scarcely: suspected or four years ago but now fully disclosed, has been and is to subdue the Congress and the courts to the executive will . . . ,” he added. “Can any ’ sensible man be blind

to what is going on? Do we not see.

the President himself using all the power of his great office openly and confidently in primaries and elections, in the ‘allotment of funds, in the playing of favorites, in the public denunciation of those who sincerely oppose his program, all with the intent of building up the executive power and imen the American people” aE ung After condemning the “element of force” in the President’s “planned economy,” he concluded with an exhortation to the Republican Party to have the “courage to stand up and tell the truth, since this is not the first time in history that the Republican Party has been called upon to save the country.” In his welcoming address this afternoon, Mr. Capehart said he was “sick and tired” of businessmen and other groups who “condemn and talk against the New Deal and then do absolutely nothing about it.” “I hope we may set an example,” he said, “to all the people of the nation that will cause them to throw off their defeatist attitude and negsiive way of thinking .

of our cause” by becoming “expert salesmen.” State Chairman Bobbitt declared the precinct committeemen and committeewomen are the “army which must carry the fight to a successful conclusion.”

VanNuys Is Challenged

a preliminary rally last night, an audience estimated at 20,000 from Daviess and adjoining counties, heard Raymond E. Willis, Indiana senatorial nominee, and Glenn Frank, national Republican policy committee chairman, start the party’s fall campaign. Mr. Willis challenged his Demo-

to reveal the “alleged crookedness in Indiana politics” which the Senator hinted at before his reconciliation with Governor Townsend and his subsequent renomination. Mr. Frank charged that the New Deal has “shamelessly played politics with the needs of millions.” Mr. Capehart welcomed his “neighbors” last night with the prediction that “history will be made in this cornfield tomorrow.” Paul R. Bausman, Washington Herald editor, introduced Mr. Willis as “another newspaper editor who will make a great Republican senator.” Commenting that both Senator VanNuys and vernor Townsend will ‘attend the Indiana Democratic Editorial Association dinner tonight at French Lick, only a few miles from Capehart Farms, Mr. Willis recalled that it was just a year ago that Governor Townsend, “at the command of the chief executive of this nation, read my opponent . . . out of the party.”

Recalls Early Charges “Tonight,” he added, “he will read

Mr. Willis referred to various charges made against the State Administration by Senator VanNuys, and quoted him as saying on June 14, before the reconciliation: “In September, I will tell the people of Indiana how some of their public servants profited to the tune of thousands of dollars through political manipulation.” “Tomorrow night at French Lick,”

will talk to this same group that he has attacked so bitterly—Governor Townsend, Dick Heller, Frank McHale, Bowman Elder. “What an execellent opportunity for him to reveal this information that he has concerning crookedness in Indiana politics.”

Seven-Point Program Earlier in his address, Mr. Willis outlined his seven-point campaign as follows: 1. Security to the aged. : 2. Relief for those who need it. 3. Laws protecting the laboring man. 4. A sound governmental finance policy. 5. Tax reduction. 6. A farm policy leaving the farmer free to manage his own

and hampering restrictions on business, yet protection of the people against selfish monopoly. Mr. Frank declared six years of “New Deal trial and error” had failed to settle the basic problems of the nation. These he listed as the problems of industry, of labor, of agriculture and of money. He said that any political that expects to retain its leadership must foster the circumstances and follow the policies that will actually lift the living standards of the whole people.

Charges Sleight of Hand

“It is no service to the millions,” he said, “to feed them—as for six years they have been fed—with impossible promises and sleight-of-hand economics that result in deeper and more destructive depressions which actually lower their living “It is to the credit of the present Administration that it emphasized the plane of the millions in the con-

cern of sta

tesmanship. “It is to the everlasting discredit of the present Administration that it has politics

shamelessly played with the needs of the millions, that,

Mr. Willis said, “Senator VanNuys |

alleged | Davis,

they have utterly failed to work, and that it has stirred, perhaps to the danger point, every sort of suspicion, hatred, and hostility, which poisons the wells of mutual confidence without which a nation cannot be a great nation.”

40 Tents Erected

He warned that “in recent years the moods of the American people have not been seriously different from the moods which, in Europe, have resulted in drastic and tragic changes in the lives of men and nations. .. Hundreds who could not find room

in the huge main tent, 500 feet long,

heard the speeches from loudspeakers. They wandered through the dewdamp grass on which 40 tents had been erected—a greater stretch of canvass than the combined Barnum & Bailey, Hagenbeck-Wallace CirCus. Yesterday afternoon, a caravan of cars en route to the rally from Indianapolis, passed a strange sight. Stalled a mile southwest of Newberry was the party's giant symbol —Bolivar, the papier mache ele-

cratic opponent, Senator VanNuys, | phant.

Bolivar was stranded when the car towing his truck broke down. He arrived later and was placed in the center of the tented field.

DEWEY GUARDS NEW WITNESSES

\ Hides Connecticut Residents While Trial Is in ‘Recess.

NEW YORK, Aug. 27 (U. P)— District Attorney Thomas E. Dewey's agents today sequestered several persons from Connecticut expected to testify next week that James J. Hines, Tammany Hall leader, and Dutch Schultz, former lottery racketeer, spent week-ends together. The witnesses, nine of whom were reported to be under guard in a hotel, were expected to substantiate the testimony of Dudley Brothwell, Fairfield, Conn., ridingmaster, who said Schultz and his bodyguard, Lulu Rosenkranz, frequently found solace from. gang wars on Connecticut bridle paths, and that one Sunday in August, 1935, Hines was with them. who for Schultz, days, of in-

ing his star, J. Richard (Dixie) “attorney general” for the mob, who, like Weinberg, pleaded guilty to the same indictment which named Hines. They were all charged with having conspired to operate a racket that grossed $20,000,000 annually. Hines was accused of having sold political protection iv the gangsters. He is on trial one.

COUNTY GETS FUND FOR SITE MARKERS

The WPA today announced allocation of $13,426 to a Marion County project for designing and painting markers for Indiana historical sites now inadequately marked.

The Payoft

Violin Traded in for Burial Is Believed Stradivarius.

LFORDSVILLE, Aug. 27 (U. P.) —Forty years ago a country fiddler, feeling sick, went to the undertaker and offered his violin—“it’s a good one"—and a shotgun in exchange for a decent burial when he died. Charles M. Allen, knowing the make of shotgun and liking it, agreed to the trade. The gun is gone today, but Mr. Allen, now 79, is ready to sell the old fiddle for $20,000. He’s convinced it’s a genuine Stradivarius. Several expert sources have verified his belief. - Dr. George Jacobs, a Terre. Haute violin expert, was the first to inspect its tan maple wood. Almost before the undertaker lifted it from its case he exclaimed: “That's if. That's the real thing! It's a Stradivarius!”

R. ALLEN had called the old German music master after a Cincinnati music firm aroused his suspicions by delaying return of it to him after he shipped it to them for regluing. “They finally sent it back after I threatened them with the Sheriff,” asserted Mr. Allen, who also runs a hardware store. “I looked inside one of the holes one ‘day and saw in indelibible ink ‘Antonius Stradivarius fracone 515. Facieb 11 anno 1727'.» “I took the dimensions and sent them to an Eastern music company. They said the instrument undoubtedly was a ‘Strad’ worth from $10,000 to $20,000.” He went the next day to Pete Hamm, friend of Jim Baker, the community fiddler whom he buried 40 years ago. Mr. Ham said that in 18388 he bought the fiddle in a St. Louis saloon and gave it to Mr. Baker. An Italian section gang worker had left it there as a security for a $7 debt but never returned hecause he was killed.

Secret Negotiations Are Re« vealed; U. A. W. Truce to Be Discussed Here.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J, Aug. 27 (U. P)—A committee from David Dubinsky’s International Ladies Garment Workers Union, which

‘| holds the unique position of belong-

ing to both, has been negotiating secretly the past week in an effort to renew peace negotiations between the American Federation of Labor and the Committee for Industrial Organization, it was learned today. William Green, Federation president, who is attending the quarterly meeting of the executive councii here, said he had conferred with Mr. Dubinsky’s committee last Monday, and told them that the first peace overture must come from John L. Lewis, C. I. O. head, and that the conciliators had gone to Washington to see Mr. Lewis. He said they had not returned to see him and that his position remained the same: “It's up to the C. I. O.* The peace mission, composed of Julius Hochman, Isidore Nagler and Luigi Antonini, all I. L. G. W. U, vice presidents, conferred with Mr. Lewis at -week but made no statement on the results.

Left Under Suspension Mr. Dubinsky has been one of the most ardent workers for peace on the labor front. His I. L. G. W. U., with 250,000 members, is the third largest of the 10 original C. 1. O. unions, and in token of his concilia< tory attitude, it was left merely under suspension when the other nine Unions were expelled by the A. F. of The last peace conference among federation and C. I. O. representatives broke up in Washington last December. Federation spokesmen said later they had suggested that conferences be arranged to settle all jurisdictional disputes between C. I. O. and A. F. of L. unions, and that then the C. I. O. return to the federation in a body. The C. I. O. was said to have ine sisted that the two organizations reunite first, and then settle various disputes.

TOLEDO, Aug. 27 (U. P) .—Homer Martin, president of the United Automobile Workers, was on record today with “serious doubts” that the peace proposals of C. 1. O, President John L.
