the American flag was hissed and
jeered as it was pulled 10 the top Of
the staff, when the strains of The
Star-Spangled Banner We're almost
drowned out ny jeers and when two
American students we're knocked out
by cane wielders in the stands.
Most Of the Paris papers agreed
that the Americans played cIeanly
and that the hostility of the crowd
was deplorable. Franz Reichel sec
retary of the. French Olympic com
mittee, said "the action of the crowd
was abominable."
Rene Lassere, captain of the
French team, said his players had
no cause for complaint. We were
beaten" he said by a better con-
ditioned team. We were beaten fair
ly. and I can't understand what
caused the crowd to act like it did"

anywhere in the country. Sam and
are great friends and 1 admire him

Watson laughed heartily when
asked about his candidacy for the
vice presidency.
You know have been attending
national conventions for forty years
and I never knew but two men to
run" for vice president, and neither
of them were nominated.
Il am not a candidate and would
much prefer to remain in the Senate
where 1 am very firmly seated. A
Vice President is always drafted,
more or less, and his principal duty
is to make speeches.
I am always a party man,
whether I disagree with the Presi-
dent on issues or not and l could
not make speeches on the Presi-
dents policies if I disagreed with
them," Watson said.
Watson, however, did not say he

He said he would stress the rec

speech before the convention.
4 am for Ed Jackson for Gov
ernor Of Indiana because he is the
party nominee. I indorsed him just
as / would have indorsed any Of the
other candidates had they been NOM
mated.
When I inCorsed Ed, the cry
went up that 1 was a Klansman be-
cause Ed belongs to that organiza-

LAS far as I am advised the Klan
will not be a political issue in the
