HOOVER WILL
FIGHT SOVIET
RECOGNITION
Traditional U. S. Terms
Are Upheld in State
ment at White House.
SITUATION is STUDIED
Stimson'S Action PreSageS
No Change in Relations
of Diplomacy.
By United Press

BY OntJed PTeSS
WASHINGTON, March 12.-The
White House has made it clear to
the world it will oppose any move
to recognize Soviet Russia save on
the traditional American terms.
This was the prevalent reaction
today to the White Houses i'm
promptu statement that Secretary
Of State Henry L. Stimson's study
of Russia presages no change in
diplomatic relations. But there was
no indication the study will be halt
ed, although its findings may never
be known.
The White House attitude was an
nounced late Tuesday by one Of
the Presidents secretaries at his
daily press conference. 1t was
prompted by both official and
press speculation about Stimson's
real purpose in ordering scientific
examination of the Soviet state and
its international position.
Deny Recognition Plan.
Some articles had limited that the
state department might be pre-
pared to suggest recognition OF the
Moscow government.
It was just this suggestion the
White House wished to Scotch.
AS q result of this statement,
diplomatic circles are more fully
convinced than ever Of Mr.. Hoover'S
thorough-going opposition to recog-
milton except on the Hughes terms
payments Of debts to America;
abstention from propaganda; and
protection of life and property in
Russia.
Meanwhile, from an informed
quarter came a tentative outline of
the sort of study Stimson probably
will seek from his associates. 1t is
deep, yet elementary.
Deep Study Planned
Such questions as these will be
answered, as best they can be, for
the secretary:
Who are the real rulers of Rus
STA? What are their methods? What
is thier real foreign policy? What
is this policy's likely effect on other
nations?
Is the f1ve-year plan proving a
success? If so, what may be ex-
pected of it's future economic effect
on the rest of the world?
Are the Russian masses happier
and safer under Communism than
under the czarS?
What notifications, if any, may
be expected in the Communists
theories and practices?

COUNTY SPLIT
STIRS BATTLE
ON CHA|RMEN
Party Leaders Fear Marion
viii Have Undue Power
in Councils.
NOW IN TWO DISTRICTS
Watson Has Control of
State Organization in
Changed Lineup.
BY BEN STERN

Bitter battle in both state political
organizations as to whether the
Marion county chairmen shall have
voice in councils of the new Elev-
cnth district doomed today.
Because Of the new congressional
reapportionment act. signed by
Governor Harry G. Leslie, the west
half Of Marion county is district
by itself-the Twelfth-while the
cast half of the county, together
With Hancock and Madison coun-
lies, form the new Eleventh dis
riot.
The question confronting state
leaders now is: Shall the Marion
county chairman help elect the
Eleventh district chairman and
shall they be members of the ex-
ecutive committee? If so, will Mar
ION county have too much power in
state politics?"
Back of this situation are two i'm
portant political factors.
Watson in Saddle
The first applies to the Repub-
llcan state organization. AS the
district heads are lined up today,
Senator Arthur r. Robinson has
but one district chairman dedicated
10 his cause-Schuyler Haas, Sew
onth district head.
The remaining twelve chairmen
are adherents of Senator James E.
Watson. and this gives him almost
absolute control of the state G.. o.
P. organization.
If the Marion county Republican
chairman is a member Of the ex-
ccutive committee of the Eleventh
district, which elects that chair
man, there is a possibility that he
will hold out for a Robinson chair
man. 1t must, however, be re-
membered that he will be outnum-
bered two to one and always may be
minority member.
Problem in Eleventh
The other problem is this: The
cast half Of Marion county, in the
new Eleventh district, has popu-
lation Of 1869, while Hancock and
Madison counties, combined. have
but 99,593 inhabitants.
Yet. because they are two coun-
ties to Marion's one, the bulk of
the population of the new district
may be without adequate represen-
tation in Eleventh district councils.
An attempt to decide these prob
lens will be made at the meetings
of state committees Of both parties,
TO be called soon, it was indicated
today.
Marion county organizations will
hold out for representations on both
district executive committees.
Fairer Plan Offered
One solution of the problem, 1t
was indicated, would be to have
the state committee rule the Elev-
enth district chairman shall be
elected at a convention Of precinct
committeeman.
This would be much fairer. it was
pointed out, as the precincts rep
resent more equitably the popula-
ton.
Protests continued to be heard
today from present Vigo county
Democrats because the new Sixth
district includes Warren county,
which will make that district 5000
Republican and so destroy the bal
ance of power which existed in the
old Fifth district.
