Plan for Radio
Talk on Train

President Hoover today was
considering a plan to drama
tie his last radio appeal for
votes Monday night with the
click of the wheels and the
blowing of the whistle of his

The plan is to have a mobile
broadcasting set installed in a
car on the train and to have
the President make his speech
while the listeners hear the
click-click Of his trains wheels
and the blasts from the loco
motive as his special speeds
across the Western desert car

KRAMER SAYS

OBJECT
Assistant Superintendent
Feels Practice Is
Undignified

Presidential election straw
votes in local high schools be-
fore election day are frowned
on by Assistant Superintep-
dent of Schools Stephen e.
Kramer.
In a letter to the principals Of
high schools. Mr.. Kramer opposes
holding such ballots except on
election day.
This, he explained, will avoid
spreading Of IAN undignified con-
ception" Of the vote among high
school students.
Say Parents Aroused
In his letter Mr.. Kramer also
advised against permitting par
tisan political discussions in his
tory and civics classes because,
he said, numerous complaints
have been received from parents
over hard feeling aroused among
the students.
Kramer denied rumorS that
persons interested in the one
political party or the other had
sought to bring any pressure to
bear against prediction straw
ballots.
Deny Radical Trend
He also denied that waves Of
political radicalism among stu
dents had any bearing on the
situation.
His letter advises principals to
follow the suggested course with
out "unduly limiting freedom of
speech"
Officials of a national patriotic
society denied they had COM
planned over school balloting be-
cause the straw vote showed a
strong tendency in favor of Nor
man Thomas, Socialist candidate
for President.
A report that the society did
make this complaint came from
a student who said pupils were
exhibiting a trend to the Social
ist party much stronger proper
tionately than that indicated by
national straw votes.

PLEA WINS
DELAY IN
TRIAL
Action Shifted to La Plata;
Suspicion Holds That
"PaI" SqueaIed

UPPER MARLBORO, Nd,
Nov. 3.-Defense counsel to-
day obtained a change Of
venue in the cases of John
Wallace and James Zalenski,
alias Jimmy Dunn, charged
with first degree murder in
connection with the shooting
Of Grover Amick at the Old
Colonial Tea House in Blad-
ensburg.
Judge Joseph c. Mattingly and
Judge w. M. Loker granted the
change to La Plata in Charles
county for the court session be-
ginning November 81.
Paul Mules, of defense counsel,
said the affidavit asking the
change of venue recited that q
fair and impartial trial could not
be obtained in Prince Georges
county, and that he had nothing
to add to the former declaration.
Much conjecture concerns the
status of Thomas Simone in the
case. Many believe he has given
the States case damaging eVi-
dence against Wallace and zal-
enski, but States Attorney Alan
Bowie has steadfastly denied this.
The free-for-all shooting in
which Amick was killed and
Simone wounded stirred Wash
ington and nearby States last
fall. It is believed the shooting
was part of a white slave ring
war.

To LOSE
AS REDS GAIN

BERLIN, Nov. 3 QN.S0.-Presi-
dent Paul Won Hindenburg today
issued a decree prohibiting politi-
cal meetings for two weeks, begin
ming Sunday, when the national
Reichstag elections will be held.
The step was taken to allow
political fervor to cool down and
to tighten the work of police
throughout the country.
The Communists were conceded
a fair chance of winning 100 seats
or more in the next Reichstag,
and it was generally believed
Adolf Hitler's Nazis, now compris-
ing the Reich's leading party,
would fall back in the balloting.
Unemployment and continuance
of economic distress and wide
spread disappointment due to un-
realized hopes placed in Hitler as
a leader were held likely to shift
many votes from the Nazi col
umnS to those of the Reds.

Lighter Shades for Spring

color.
And of course the same
shades will be worn in mesh
this spring that we'll want in
plain chiffon. Naturally, all
shades are lighter than they
we're in winter hose. In fact,
because of the vogue for pale
compilations in southern resorts

little lighter than last. But
they still blend rather than
contrast with the costume.

In the center is a new mesh,
just perfected, that combines all
the features desirable for semi
formal or afternoon hose in a
type that's really not too dressy
for wearing on the street. You
can see from the enlarged
sketch of the design how neat
and inconspicuous it is, yet it's
very sheer and very fine and
dainty. The mesh design is
quite small and altogether
round-in fact, they call it
round-point. That narrow lace
pattern near the bottom of the
hem serves as a run-stop, and
there's that same valuable re-
enforcement over the toe. Alto
