tested in Germany, with first reports
indicating that the idea is successful.
On a vertical post before the pilots

bladed propeller laid horizontal, are
mounted. The crafts wings are slightly
smaller than those of the ordinary
motorless plane. The vanes are said to
enable the glider to stay aloft in lighter

VOYAGERS ON DECREASE
Ocean Traffic Lighter This Year
Than Since 1928.

WASHINGTON, July 24.-Pass-
port figures made public today by
the state department explain why
the greatest ocean liners of the At
lantic feet are making bargain ex-
cursions to Nova Scotia this sum-
mer instead of European voyages,
and why the United States lines
will pass soon from the hands OF
the men who purchased it two years
ago from the shipping board.
Travel abroad is lighter this year
than it has been at any time since
1928. the first year for which the
state department disclosed passporS
figures. Travel last year broke all
records in spite of the depression.
This year only s9,323 passports had

BY BEN STERN

DECAUSE Of widespread opinion
ID that an outstanding citizen
should be selected for lieutenant
| governor, leaders of both parties are
making a careful study of the avail
able timber.
There seems to exist feeling
/ that these candidates should be
selected from the ranks of past or
present state senators, whose knowl-
edge Of how business is conducted
in this branch of the legislature
would equip them to preside over it.
Among names receiving promi-
nent mention in Republican ranks
are those Of the veteran James j.
Nejdl, Whiting; Earl Rowley, La
porte, and j. Clyde, Indianapolis,
while the Democrats are talking
Joseph Cravens, Madison; Addison
Drake, Fairbanks, and Thurman A.
Gottschalk, Berne.
n
Nejdl easily is the outstanding G.
0. P. possibility. His familiarity
with the senate rules is second to
none and his reputation for per-
sonal probity and political liberality
have made him for years the one
senator to whom the various diSaf-
fected minorities have turned.
His spirited and strategically
waged battle for the old age pen
sion bin in the last session gave him
high rank among the thousands of
partisans Of this measure.
Rowley, who managed the Nejdl
campaign for president pro tenn. of
the senate six months ago, is more
conservative in his leanings, but is
recognized as forceful fighter and,
like Nejdl, comes from the north
ern part Of the state, which de-
mands recognition on the next state
ticket.
Hoffman, an indianapolis attor-
ney headed the Governors 1929 and
1880 tax conference, and is said to
be familiar with all phases of this
question. He is charged, with SEN
tor Joe Rand Beckett, Indianapolis,
with being the Governors bellwether
in the senate.
= .
The Democrats, in turning to
CraVens, are paying tribute to the
unequalled reputation for sterling
honesty, worth and ability which
this veteran made in more than two
decades Of services in the legisla-
ture.
Much persuasion will be neces-
sary to make Cravens accept the
nomination. He was a leading con-
tender for the nomination for Gov
ernor in 1924 and, although seeking
retirement from public life this
year, was called back to be parlia-
mentarian for the house of repre-
sentatives.
Drake was the Democratic nomi-
nee for Lieutenant Governor in
1928 and for years has been recog-
nized as one of the leaders of the
legislative farm bloc. He also en-
joys high place in his party's
counsels and has been accorded rec
ognition for ability.
GottSchalk-well, he is a member
Of the state budget committee, and.
according to many, his Democracy
is tinged with a Republican color.
