Hoover Tangles
In Indiana With
WatsOn's Forces
By BERT M. DEMBY
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

INDIANAPOLIS. MAY =
Aroused by one of the most heated
campaigns in the state S history,
Indiana voters today were expected
to east their greatest primary elec-
ton vote tomorrow.
Conclusion of the fight between
Senator James +. Watson, favorite
son candidate for the presidential
nomination and the forces behind
Herbert Hoover found each group
predicting that its candidate would
sweep the state.
The contest between them, how
ever, has been so close that most
political observers found little on
which to base their predictions of
the outcome.
Senator Watson will be supported
at the polls by what is considered
one of the most efficient political
organizers ever formed.
Many of the leaders identified
with the Watson machine have be-
come embroiled in the las two years
in scandals, but the Senator s cam
raign leaders are confident that this
will not prove harmful to his popular
strength.

The position of the japanese

DANGER MARK
NOT PASSED IN
CAROLINA FLOOD
Residents Fight Bravely
To Save Homes From
Being Inundated.
BY United Press Leared Wire

TABLEROCK COVE, s. c., May
Tho battle to save the Saluda
river valley from flood destruction
was at a critical stage today.
Sloughs in the crumbling earthen
dam here increased danger Of
sudden collapse of the 750 foot
structure which holds back 5000
100000 gallons Of water.
Erosive work Of crevasse waters
and Of rain had brought the huge
gap in the Greenville reservoir dam
to within - feet Of the basin it
self.
Failure of this endangered part of
the normally $50 feet wide dam to
hold would catapult the waters of
q great lake down narrow noun
tain valley past a half dozen tex
tile mill towns Of total popula-
ten of 10000.
Engineers ordered every one out
of the district. Armed deputies
patrolled the dam vicinity and all
roads into the valley for % miles
below.
From leaks at the base of the
dam spouting water forced its way
out and caused new slides during
the night.
Crumbling of the dam, caused by
collapse of drainage pipe under
the structure has been in process
since early Friday night.
Homes down in the valley were
evacuated before daylight Satur-
day.
The cotton mill towns of Pied
mont, Pelzer, Williamston and
Ware Shoals had sandbagged
foundations of buildings near the
river. Power dams along the Saluda
have flood gates open in event of
{, torrent.

CREEK RELIEF
FUND STARTED
WITH fine sum

Plans for the relief of their
stricken countrymen, many Of whom
are in dire circumstances rs result
OF earthquakes, were formulated
last night at II meeting Of Greek
residents Of the valley, held in this
city.
The Hellenic Society of Imperial
Valley started off the good work
with donation Of 5000, and in a
short time the amount was more
than doubled by subscriptions re
ceived from individuals. The plight
of the victims Of the earthquakes
were described by several speakers,
some Of whom have received letters
and newspapers from friends and
relatives in Greece.
In order to give aid an opportunity
to contribute, the relief fund will be
kept open for so days, the meeting
decided. 4 committee consisting of
Harry Alexander, John Betsis, Phil
Pappas and Gregory Cox, was ap-
pointed to supervise the fund.
Cashiers, to whom contributions
may be sent, are George Poulos,
Calexico; James Psihogcous, FL
Centre and Angeles kalagis, I'm
pcrial.
A committee calling at the Press
office today, stated that while no
solicitation for funds will be mad2
among those not of Greek birth or
descent, the general public is in
Nited to contribute and may send
their donations to any of the com
mittec mentioned above.
owe feel sure that there will be
generous response both from our
own people and others, Alexander
said today. "Therc is much suffer
ing among our cuuntrymen, many
Of whom are women and children.
We Of Greek birth who are now
American citizens, are proud and
glad to know that our country was
the first to bring aid to Greece,

at Corinth became known. We know

ATTITUDE OF
POLAND DRAWS
SOVIET WRATH
By FREDERICK KUH
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent

PERLIN, May "A Russian
note to Poland, delivered at Warsaw
today, charged that a young Russian
who shot twice at the Soviet Trade
representative there intended to
assassinate Russian Minister Bogum-
oloff.
The note protested against the
passive attitude of the Polish
government toward Russian Royal
lists refuging there.
1t said that the Russian govern
ment would reserve the right to
further action unless the present
situation was altered.
The Russian note advanced the
theory that the Young Russian re-
fugee Woiciechowski, who. shot at
Soviet Trade Commissioner Liar
Jeff as the commissioner was driv-
ing through a busy Warsaw street,
really was trying to kill Russian
Minister Bogumoloff.
1t was complained that after the
assassination of Russian Minister
NoikOff on June II, 1927, Russia
notified the Polish foreign office
that ojciechowski was an active
agent of Russian anti-Soviet or
ganization. The Polish government
denied this.
\ few days later, the note said,
Russia handed the Polish foreign
office a list of names of alleged
aLti-Soviet agents.
