My attention just has been called

Senator Watson, before the senator
ial committee investigating cam
paign funds.
HE is quoted as testifying that in
his opinion the Hoover forces had
spent 100000 in their publicity and

"The fact is that more than twice
as much was spent in the interest of
Mr. Watson's candidacy in Indiana
than was spent in the interest of
Mr.. Hoover.
Our expenditures will total less
than $4,000, every cent of which
was paid out of our State head
quarters at Indianapolis with the
exception of a few hundred dollars
raised in FIT. Wayne.
"Mr. Thurman failed to explain
that Mr.. Watson's volunteer work.
ers included every Federal office
holder in the State, prohibition en-
forcement officers and every would

Thurman Is Rebuked

WASHINGTON, May 19.-M. Bert
Thurman's desire to conceal from
the public details of the Indiana or
ganization of his chief, Senator j.
E. Watson, led to a reproof of Thur
man late yesterday before the
Senate campaign quiz committee.
Thurman expressed the hope that
''the newspaper boys" void regard
what he said as at least partially
confidential, despite the ruling by
the Chairman Steiwel of the COM
mittee that it should not be so re-
gaxded.
Thurman's request that what he
was going to say would be "otf the
record" led newspaper men to sit up
in anticipation of something start
ling. The revelation, however, was
only an elaboration of Watson's off,
repeated statement that he had 65,-
600 unpaid Indiana workers, in
cluding ten men and women work.
ers in each precinct outside OF
Marion and Lake Counties.
Not Corrupt, He Says
"The Watson organization is COM
plete and thorough, but not cor
rupt," Thurman said, "off the record
it"
Senator Barkley of Kentucky in
terrupted and demanded that the
committee reporter take down what
Thurman was saying.
"I hope this can be off the rec
ord" Thurman said.
"The committee cannot allow any
thing to be said in confidence be-
fore it, engaged as it is in a public
inquiry in a matter of great public
Importance" Chairman Steiwer
said sharply.
"Well, I hope the newspaper boys
will keep it partly confidential, any
way said Thurman. "And after
this discussion 1 feel 7 should
describe the Watson organization.
It is impossible oof duplication any,
where else, built as it is around Sem
ator Watson's unique personality" +"
Pledge Their Aid
He then explained how Watson
chairmen we're selected for every
district, county and precinct, the
latte rchoosing ten men and women
who pledged their services to Wat
son.

tion works from the bottom up; Nthe
Watson organization from the top
down." he. said. There are $500
precincts, so you see it is no idle
boast that we have more than $4,000

Thurman declared that Wasson'S
victory last Tuesday was "the great
est possible triumph an individual
could achieve"

PEKIN CENTERS FIGHTIN
Nationalist Army Marches
'on Chinese Capital; Toxic
Sends Aircraft.
BY MILES w. VAUGHN
United Press stan CorreSnondept

TOXIC, May 19.-Activities in
the Chinese war zone were increas-
ing today, according to advices here,
with reports indicating the nation
alist forces Of Gen. Feng Yu Hsiang
rapidly we're approaching the city.
The northern generals, Chang
Tsung Chang and Sun Chuan Fang,
were reported retreating from their
positions around TientSin, bringing
belief General Feng might be able
to lead his nationalist troops into
the city easily. Unconf1rmed re-
ports said, also, that many north
erners were switching their alle-
glance to the nationalist army.
This might lead to a general rout
of the northern forces from the
Tientsin area, although the north
ern armies there we're said to be
large.
Report Students Shot
From Pekin came reports that
thirteen students had been shot by
authorities for alleged subversive
activities.
Japan meanwhile was preparing
to protect its positions. At Pekin
an area bordering on the legation
quarters has been cleared for use
as an airdome for Japanese army
airplanes. One squadron of aircraft
has been ordered into the province
within the past few days.
The Toxic government already
has made clear to both the Ma
tionalist and northern forces that
Japan will insist, even to the point
Of force, Of peace in Manchuria in
case the northerners are routed
from their positions around Pekin
and Tientsin.
Chinese Leaders Warned
The Government instructed its
minister in Pekin and consul gener-
al in Shanghai to advice both
Chang Tso Lin, Northern leader,
and Huang Flu, Nationalist foreign
minister, that while this nation
hoped hostilities would cease soon,
Japan was:
Constrained to take appropriate
and effective steps for the main
tenance of peace and order in Man
churia."
This was based on fears that if
the civil warfare extended to the
Pekin and TientSin areas it might
easily continue on to the Manchur-
ian border.
Japan, however, advised that the
policy of strict neutrality, so far as
the two Chinese armies is con-
cerned, was to be maintained. The
note to the Chinese leaders pointed
out that If the effective steps"
were necessary the Government
would exercise due care to prevent
unfair consequences to either Of the
opposing armies.
