By Scripps. HotoGrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, April 13.-Presi-
dent Herbert Hoover has been criti-
cised again for opposing federal
appropriations for drought relief.
Meanwhile, the Red Cross, which
refused to accept United States
money for this purpose, planned to
seek more members to offset its re-
cent heavy expenditures in the
drought states.
These plans were announced In
resolutions passed as the American
national Red Cross ended its annual
convention.
"All Out of Balance"

Walsh (Dem., Mont.), in speaking

DeIye Into Mystery of
Disputed Measure.
UTILITY o. K. RUMORED
Conspiracy Allegation to Be
Added to Home Rule
Suit.

Part played by Governor Harry
G. Leslie in the mystery surround
ing signing of House Bill 6, in form
different from that passed by the
senate, will be aired in Marion cir
cult court, it was learned today.
An additional paragraph to be
added to the complaint asking that
the bill not be published as law, will
charge conspiracy.
This will mean that the entire
process by which the bill was pre-
sented as an honestly enrolled act
and signed by the Governor will be
gone into, it was asserted today by
Richard Ewbank, one of the attor-
neys seeking the injunction.
Demurrer Is OverruIed
Judge Harry o. Chamberlin on
Friday overruled the states demur-
rer in the case. 1t was announced
by Hugh Merrif1eld, deputy attor-
ney-general, who is appearing with
Earl Stroup, another deputy, on be-
half of the secretary of state, that
the next step will be filing of gen
eral' denial
This will mean that the case will
be heard on it's merits and with
the matter of alleged conspiracy
gone into, all persons connected
with the bil's progress may be
called to appear.
Besides the Governor, the list
will include Lieutenant Governor
Edgar D. Bush, Walter Myers,
Speaker of the house; Dick Heller,
house clerk, and Leland K. Fish
back, senate clerk.
Utility o. X. Rumored
One of the stories which may be
brought out on the stand is the al
legation that on the last night when
the bill was signed, an insult utility
lobbyist sent the following note to
the Governors office:
House Bill 6 is o. K"
The bill places complete jurisdic-
ton over all bus and truck lines in
the hands of the public service COM,
mission. It Is being fought by In

Hands Off Attitude Wholly
Opposed to That of
Coolidge.
BIZ Lnitcd Press

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, April 1S.-The
evolution of what may go down in
diplomatic history as the Hoover
Doctrine" was seen by some OBJ
servers here today in the admin
STATIONS present Nicaraguan policy.
This policy-only party enunci-
ated in Secretary Of State Stimson's
formal statement Friday-appeared
to have two cardinal points:
United States property in Mica
ragua, bought by those who re-
allied there was risk of internal
disorders, is not necessarily en- =,
titled to military protection, al
though under certain conditions it
may be.
United States citizens in Mica
ragua can not expect military pro-
lection if they disregard warn
ings to seek safety.
Observers, in pointing out how
widely this doctrine differs from
that followed during the Coolidge
administration, and earlier, cite
President Coolidge's address before
the United Press at New York, in
April, 1927. He said:
Part of General Domain
1.-THE person and property of a
citizen are part of the general
domain of the nation even when
abroad. There is a distinct and
binding obligation on the part of
self-respecting governments to
afford protection to the persons and
property of their citizens, wherever
they may be. These rights go with
the citizens. Wherever he goes, these
duties of our government must fol-
low him."
On the other hand, Stimson, who
has advised constantly with Mr..
Hoover during the present Mica
raguan crisis, instructed American
ENJOYS in Nicaragua as follows:
"You will advise American citi-
zens that this government can not
undertake general protection OF
AIlltLlCdllS k1lOuSAAO0S OA4eSO SN0AAOA J
with American forces. To do so
would lead to difficulties and COM
mitments this government does not
propose to undertake.
At Their Own Risk
"ThoSe (Americans) who remain
do so at their own risk and must
not expect American forces to be
sent to their aid
Stimson advised Americans either
to evacuate the country or go to
coast cities where war vessels are
stationed.
Thus far this doctrine has been
applied only to Nicaragua. Officials
decline to. predict whether it will be
employed in the entire Caribbean
area, where United States forces
often have been sent during the last
thirty years to protect life and
property.
Inquiry at the state department
today revealed that about $50
American lives and some $4,000, 200
worth of American property will be
affected by the administrations
policy in Nicaragua.

Royal Train viii Enter U. S.

Sunday.
QUEEN NURSES HUSBAND
1 Ruler Appears in Public
With Wife Despite
His Sickness.
BY GEORGE E. HELMER

VANCOUVER, B. c., April 18.-
Oriental royalty was speeding east
ward today on special trai car
rying King Prajadhipok, Queen
Rambai-B Barn. and their encourage
to New York, from where his high
ness will go to John Hopkins hos
pital at Baltimore for an eye opera
ton.
Hectice day receptions prior to
debarkation activities ended about
$50 Friday night, and at midnight
the regal train left here bearing
an i'll monarch and his loyal COM
panion on their cross-country jour-
ney.
The train will enter the United
States at Portal, N. D., late Sunday
Canadian officials will be replaced
there by Americans, who will escort
the royal party to New York.
Queen Nurses Ill Husband
Although King Prajadhipok adj
nittedly was seriously i'll and took
chances Of endangering himself by
exposure when he greeted accom-
panying officials late Friday, the
train carried no. special nurse.
The queen, assisted Rear Admiral
Momchao Thavara Jayant, the
kings physician, in taking care of
her husband.
When the royal couple appeared
together Friday for the first time
since the party arrived on this
continent, they resembled pair Of
youngsters on an excursion.
The queen had been at her hus-
bands bedside almost constantly,
doing much of the work a nurse
ordinarily would do.
OF slight build and small In
stature, only King Prajadhipok's
regal bearing betrays his identity.
He appeared to be far younger than
his 38 years, and his beautiful wife
easily could pass for 10.
Couple Travelling IncognitO
Because the king had been Ill
and unable to meet officials. Prince
Svasti, his uncle and the father Of
Queen Rambai-Barni, took the
monarch's place in receiving Cana
diana delegations at Victoria and
Vancouver.
Prince Svasti won over officials
and newspaper men by his hearty
greetings.
The king and queen are travelling
incognito as Prince and Princess
Sukhodya, and will assume their
regal titles only when visiting the
White House on the evening OF
April %.
Shortly thereafter they will go tc
Oplin Hall, at Purchase, N. Y, pala-
tial home of Mrs. Whitelaw Reid
where the royal headquarters will
be established while the party is in
the United States.
