Sets Worlds Record Flying Upside Down
 But He Nearly Dies

Kassel, Germany. Sept. 29 Op Pilot Clardon. young Swiss flier, achieved what was describ- ed as a world record for flying upside-down today. but on lend- ing was taken out of his ma chine more dead than alive. He flew upside-down for IS minutes and 56 seconds beating the record set by the German flier Fiessler by nearly four minutes.
 Clardon is stated to have turn ed his machine over at an alti- tude of about 150 yards and then rose to an altitude of about 700 yards when the blood pressure in his head became so severe and his legs so cramped that only by a last desperate effort was he able to right the machine and glide to earth.
 Tt was the worst quarter of an hour of my life," he said later.

1M MORE CAN BE SEATED
 AT NATHAN HALE SCHOOL
Investigating Committee Reports Finding Accommodations Avail
 able Without OyercrOWding

Members of the school survey committee in their visit and inspec- tion of the Nathan Hale Junior High school yesterday afternoon learned that the building can accommodate about 150 more pupils without over- crowding. they reported.
 Most of the classrooms in the Elihu Burritt building were found to be filled almost to capacity. and there was some criticism by mem- bers of the committee on account of waste space which. it was the opin- ion of some committeeman, might have been usable had more atten- tion been given the question of nat ural lighting.
 Nothing of particular interest was found in either of the schools visit ed yesterday. Rotations were made of the number of rooms, average at tendance in each, and of auditorium sizes uses.
 Another field inspection will be made next Friday when, it is expect ed, the Smalley school will be visit ed.

Sergeant J. C. Stadler, who vas in charge of headquarters while Lieutenant Bamforth was at lunch, sent Cazetta back to his post at once. but in the meantime, a freight train from the west hove in sight and might have reached the crossing before Cazetta took up his duties but for switchman who hurried up to the track and stopped it.

Cazetta ran into the street and shouted to the driver to drag along," and the officer, who was nearby, hurried out an warned him to be more courteous in his dealings with the public and more civil in his language. The driver of the se- dan could not proceed until the wo- man was safely inside the car, the officer pointed out, according to his report, but Cazetta turned on him and abused him.

 It was learned that Building In- spector A. N. Rutherford called to a sWitchman to stop the freight train far up the tracks, and Pop" Powers. who is employed at the Russell & Erwin factory. lowered the gates as precautionary meas- ure.

SMITHS RECORD
 IN N. ATTACKED
(. 0. P. State Convention Hears
 Criticism by P. Trubee DaIison
"TAMMANY CONTROL" CITED
Speaker Asserts That Governor smith Calmly Takes Credit For All Beneficial Legislation Despite Fact Republicans Adopted It.

Syracuse, Sept. 29 R-Governor Smiths record as a state executive was assailed at the second days session of the republican state con- vention today by it's permanent chairman, Assistant Secretary of War F. Trubee Davison. He said the road to Washington was one lover which Tammay shall not pass"
 Discussing what he termed several years of Tammany control, Mir. Davison said the governor was at- tempting to lead the voters astray on prohibition by drawing red herring across the trail.
 ''The democratic party would ap- peal with an empty gesture for law enforcement by telling us that If he takes an oath to uphold the consti- tuition and the law whatever his personal beliefs may be. he will see that they are enforced" MT. Davison said. Tt is we'll to remember that he took such an oath four times as governor of New York and the whole world knows how little he has been ment in New York. If it is any standard by which to judge what would happen in Washington. na- tional enforcement would be a travesty."
 In attacking the governors record, Mir. Davison referred directly to ai- legged financial wastage in construc- ton of state buildings: "demorali- ration" of the labor department; and increase in taxation.
 Dangers of Tammany
 Chairman Davison devoted con- siderable portion of his address to Tammany Hall.
 "We have learned from bitter ex- perience the dangers that turk in Tammany control" he said. Tt is our duty, born of that experience. to stand in the front line with those who defend the road to Washington, the road to the highest gift which the American people can bestow on one of it's sons. Over this road Tammany shall not pass.
 "For several years New York state has suffered from the burdens usually incident to Tammany ad ministration. That they were not g greater handicap to progress than they have been is due largely to two factors:
 Curbs on Democrats
 First. nationwide prosperity x xxx x: seconly. the effective curb on the wholesale execution of Tam many policies, made possible by re- publican maj.iities in one or both houses In the legislature.
 Sight must not be lost of the fact that republican legislators de- serve credit for the competent way in which they have separated the wheat from the chaff in sitting Gov ernor smiths proposals. Some of his schemes were bad-they were rejected: some of them were sound they were adopted. On the other hand. Governor smith calmly claims credit for every measure the legis- lature has passed and berates 1t for legislation it has defeated because it was deemed unsound."

RUM, RELIGION AND
 FARM BIG ISSUES
Other Items Only Incidental in This Unusual Campaign
WEST AND SOUTH DUBIOUS
smith Forces Sec Hopes Of Getting Agricultural Vote While Hoover Is Paying No Little Attentaon to the Southern Etatcs.

San Francisco, sept. -S ~VAi tones that reverberate from coast to coast. prohibition religion and farm relief still command the double time march of the presiden- tial campaign as it swing clamorous- ly through the closing days of Sep tember.
 Other issues intrude momentarily, but these three set the pace. During the present week each has again demonstrated its hold on the atten- tions of political leaders and voters alike.
 Smith Woes Farmers
 Campaigning in the west and back through the Canadian border states. Governor Smith has addressed him. self most earnestly to the farmer. He has talked of other things as we'll, but it was the farm relief issue to which he returned oftenest, and it was the farm problem which he discussed repeatedly with party chiefs along the way.
 The argument over prohibition took an astonishing turn when Sena- tor Bruce of Maryland gave cur rency to a quickly denied story that Mir. Hoover does not refuse drink. Even Chairman Raskob of the dem- ocratic national committee joined in The denial, saying he knew that the republican nominee did not serve liquor in his home and admired him for it.
 Unusual Dissension
 Scarcely less unusual in a presi- dential campaign was renewed outburst dissension over the re- ligious issue, centernig about Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, assistant attorney general at Washington.
 She denies that her series of speeches to Ohio preachers had any other purpose than to spur them to oppose Smith because of his prohi- bition views, but even so, her dis claimer did not quiet controversy within her own party. While Walter Newton, of the republican speakers bureau, said he was only sorry Mrs. Willebrandt didn't have more time to devote to her speechmaking. Ohio's republican committeeman, Maurice Mascheke described her ac- t,vities as well intended. but mis- guided" and member of the re- publican committee in Wisconsin asked that she be kept at home.

INDIANA'S new
EAW ON DETOUR
HELD POPULAR
Maintenance Chief Speaks
81 at Purdue Road
~, School.

By United Press
LAFAYETTE, Ind, Jan. 19.-The
new Indiana detour law, which re-
quires that all State highway run
arounds must be maintained in good
condition by the highway commits
sion, has become very popular with
the motoring public, and also is
effective in increasing convenience
to the travelling public, according to
A. H. Hinkle, maintenance super
intendentSof the Indiana State high
way commission, who addressed the
Purdue University road school here
today.
Hinkle explained, however, that
some difficulty was experienced in
trying to maintain suitable detours
over county roads that are unim-
proved, narrow and dangerous to
traffic, and argued that if coopera-
ton can be secured in places from
the county these detour roads could
be placed in more suitable condi-
ton preceding closing OF the State
road for construction,
Meetings Wednesday included
those of the county highway SUI
perintendents and of county sur
veyors and engineers. Matt Foster,
Evansville, president of the super
intendents, presided at their meet
ing. Speakers included w. E. Rog-
ers,J Huntington County; Nelson
Isenhour, Boone County, and w.
j. Miller, Grant County.
Don Heaton, Fowler, head of the
surveyors and engineers, had charge
of their meeting. The principal
speakers were two Purdue Univer-
sity men, E. L. Erickson, structural
engineering professor, and G. A.
Hart, assistant structural engineer
ing professor.
Civil engineers were addressed by
Lewis S. Bowman, Indiana State
auditor.
