INDEPENDENTS LINING UP ON NEW MATERIAL Five Possible Candidates for Presidency Are
 Advanced STANDPATTERS GIVE OUT THEIR OPINIONS Progressive Sentiment Should Be Tested Out
 Says Brookhart

WASHINGTON, D C., May D. Republican Independents may op- pose President Hoover at the party primaries next Spring.
 Mentioned as possible candidates are Borah, Norris, LaFollette, Pin chot and Johnson, the latter of California.
 All of those mentioned were leaders for Hoover in 1928 but may be his opponents in 1882.
 The Old Guard allies, who fought for him hard in 1928 may be Hoover's main support next year.
 "The standpatters feel the re- election of Hoover will be impos- sible and that it would strengthen the party immensely to have a new candidate. If the Progressives car- " most of the principal States, then it is evident to everybody that a new candidate should be nom- mated" said Senator Brookhart.
 The Iowan also said the Progress sive sentiment ought to be tested.

French and Germans RedoubIe Effort
 To Stamp Out Feeling of Antagonisn
By JOSEPH E. sHARKEY

PARIS, May 2. International recriminations and warnings over the Austro- German customs &C., cord, plus use of sarcasm in Ger man press comment on the com ing disarmament conferences at Geneva, have concentrated, fresh attention on relations be tive 2 n. France and Germany.
 Little pin bricks have pointed to the existence of some feeling on each side of the border, and the French and German agencies which have been trying to bring the two peoples closer together are re- newing efforts to establish perma- nent friendly cooperation.
 Small Affairs Arise
 Small incidents which have at tracted attention include the re- cent refusal to allow German musician to conduct concerts in Paris because of stories that he was anti French and had returned his decoration of the Legion of Honor.
 Not until these reports were of- ficially disprcved did the prefect of police lift the ban.
 In Berlin a French-made film had to be given German titles be- fore it was presented.
 The Germans have been bit resentful, too, because All Quiet on the Western Front" banned in the Reich as anti-German, has been shown in French frontier cities to spectators made up largely of citi- zens of the Reich who have crossed to see it.
 In presenting the other side of the picture, the French societies which seek international good will have placed special emphasis upon a report on foreign affairs sub mitted to parliament in behalf of the commission of finances by Deputy Joseph Paganon.
 Hope for Good Will
 The report says it is clear that millions of people in Germany have been induced to believe that their economy crisis is the result of the loss of territory under the treaty Of Versailles and of the heavy fiscal charges laid on Ger many by the postwar treaties. The report adds:
 we are justified in being not too pessimistic but certainly we should give the closest attention to the probable effects of a triumph in Germany of the extremist right or the extremist left. France should remain calm but vigilant. Her path should be determined by the path of Germany.
 Friendly Relations
 France hopes and seeks for the existence of an atmosphere which will signify friendly relations based on goodwill"
 A sidelight on the general at titude of the French parliament on relations with foreign countries in general is to be found in the statement that the time of sterile has passed, and that the proper defense of the interests of France d fem a n d s precaution coupled with frank friendship. The report concludes:
 "Locarno, the Kellogg-B "a n d peace pact, the European union, all mark more than promises. They are realities.
