MAY TAKE HARDY
CASE UP BEFORE
HIGHER COU R 7
BY United Press Leased Wire

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 1.-THE
attempt of the California State Bar
to find Superior Judge Carlos S.
Hardy in contempt because he re-
fused to answer its questions CON
cerning a $500 check he received
from Aimee Semple Mcpherson,
may be taken to the appellate court
as result of the jurist S acquittal
by Superior Judge McComb, it
was indicated today.
Judge McComb ruled that Judge
Hardy was not member of the
lar and therefore not within its
jurisdiction. He severely raped
Judge Hardy for taking the check,
which the latter said was for legal
advice given Angelus Temple.
The bar examining committee
will present Judge McComb's de-
cision to the bars board of gov
ernors for decision as to future
action.

DECLARES KHAN
PLANNED PARADE
TO STOP SMITH

NEW YORK., Oct. 1.-THE New
York World said today that the ku
Klux Klan planned, at the time OF
the Democratic national convention
in June to initiate the Fascist
march on Rome by sending red
shirt army to Houston to oppose the
nomination of Governor Alfred f.
Smith.
The plan failed to materialize, it
said, because two exalted cyclops
became involved in a dispute over
details of the demonstration. The
Klan had expected to reach Houston
with $4,000 men, the World said.
The information was said to have
come from a high Klan official who
was one of those picked to lead the
march. The march was to have been
similar to the proposed farmer s ad-
vance on the Republican convention
at Kansas City.
The Klansmen, wearing red shirts
and white caps, were to have started
from Peekskill, N. Y, led by rang
crs in nickel plated trench helmets.
They were to have picked up other
klansmen along the route.

READING, Pa, Oct. 17.-Former
Governor Clifford Pinchot of Penn
sylvania said today he still favored
election of Herbert Hoover as pres
ident, despite his own failure to

speaker.
Pinchot, who predicted Pennsyl-

last night that he had offered to
make speeches in Hoover s behalf
stressing his stand on prohibition,
but only on condition he be permit

disagreed with the nominee on wa
ter power and farm relief.
This offer was rejected by Rep

publican Speakers Bureau on the
ground that it would not be wise to

Meanwhile the commander of the

over the United States so that other
American cities may see the great
silver dirigible which, although
storm buffeted and damaged rode
safely through from Germany.

These plans, however, are depend
ent upon repairs on the crippled fin
of the great air liner. This work
may take eight or ten days or can
be completed within three or four
If necessary, DR.. Eckener said. He
added there was no need of hurry.

ABOARD SMITH SPECIAL
TRAIN, LEAVING SEDALIA, Mo-,
Oct. l7.-Gov. Alfred f. Smith
turned the western pivot of his bor-
der states campaign today to beat
back over his own trail to Chicago,
there to make his final personal ap-
peal to the west.
Battered but still good humOred
after his clamorous receptions, the
happy warrior began work immcd-
lately this morning on the Chicago
address to be delivered Friday night
before he starts concentrated efforts
in the east, the last two weeks be-
fore election.
Smith left behind him here for
use by the other Democratic cam
paign orators, copies of the speech
he delivered last night to $4,000
Missourians, critically questioning
the economy record of the Republi-
can administration and the fiscal
intentions Of the present Republican
ticket.

before mentioned by Democrats in

and he took off his gloves to do it.

"parsimonious' appropriations for

in construction of public buildings
and what he called "the trick book
keeping of the administration all
We're brought under fire.
Attacks Expense
Government expenses, he said,
really have increased $200,000,000
since 1924 instead of having de-
creased as the Republicans claim.
Expenditures for the White House
have jumped 100 per cent in that
period he said, and the appropria-
tions for Former Secretary Hoover s
commerce department mounted from
$25 100000 to $3l 100000 (other
figures for the commerce department
were given by Smith but were of
ficially corrected later to conform to
his text the figures he enormously
gave were those of treasury depart
ment appropriations).
In charging a conspiracy to pro
mote can economy myth Smith
mentioned Hoover as "Candidate
Hoover,' President Coolidge as
"The Great Apostle of Economy, "
Former Secretary of Interior Work,
Secretary of Treasury Mellon and
Budget Director Lord. He person
ally challenged Hoover to "makc
good his statement that Republican

Four major reasons for the
great increase in divorces were
stated as follows:
The breakdown of home life;
hasty marriages; sex tension
between husband and wife; lack
of practical training for mar

Contributing factors were
found to be the lack of children;
crowded apartment house con
