HOOVER DRAF IS
|. AKERSON AS
! PRESSAGENT

A touch of political "old-time
religion" descended upon the
White House today as the Repub-
lican National Convention opened
in Chicago to nominate President
Hoover to succeed himself in Of
flee for another four years.
George Akerson, former secre'
tary to Mr.. Hoover and generally
credited with building up the pub
licity machine which put across
Hoover" in the 1923 campaign,
has returned to the executive Of
ficeS of the White House to take
charge of the Presidents press re-
1ations during the coming trying
months.
Takes Richey'S Place
Ostensibly Akerson, who re-
signed his secretarial position in
March, 1881, to take an executive
job with the motion picture indus
try, was drafted to help out"
around the executive office. dur.
ing the absence Of Lawrence
Richey, another of President
Hoover's secretaries, at the Chi
cago convention.
1t was learned, however, that
President Hoover has become con.
cerned during recent weeks over
what he regards as bad breaks
with publicity from the White
House.
Dry Fight Factor
1t became evident that Aker.
son will become the high priest to
work the political hokus pokus
over the difficulty which is de-
veloping at Chicago over the pro-
hibition plank in the Republican
platform.
1t was also believed that Aker'
son had been drafted to fill a
breach between Mr.. Hoover and
the newspapers, which Mr.. Hoo
yer seems to feel is growing
wider constantly.

San Antonio, Tex-(UP)-An in-
 tensive study of nursing to prevent disaster to the profession and also
 to privide good nursing within the
 limits of the average pocketbook
 was recommended today by Mrs
 Anne L. Hansen, of Buffalo, N. Y.
 Mrs Hansen, chairman of the
 committee on the distribution of
 nursing service, and director of
 the Visiting Nurse association Buff
 falo, N. r., reviewed conditions in the profession before the three na- tional organizations that are hold ing their biennial convention here. They are the American Nurses association, the National League of Nursing Education, and the Nation al Organization of Public Health Nursing. Study Field
 The study of the field is made necessary, Mrs Hansen said be- cause the number of nurses multi piled so rapidly during the finan- cial boom and that now a surplus of nurses exist as the financial de- pression has made it Impossible for many of the ill to obtain ade- quate care for economic reasons. To meet these conditions so that the sick may be cared for and yet nursing profession saved from dis
 aster, the distribution of nursing service committee has recommend ed that either nursing schools be closed, or the number of students reduced.

MYTH entrance of James NJ.
W Knapp Of Hagerstown in the
Republican race for Governor and
indications that the field will be
augmented by at least four within
few weeks, attention has veered
from the Democratic to the G.. o. P.
lineup.
Attorney General James M.
Ogden, Liutenant Governor Ed
Bush, Highway Commissioner Ar
thur Sapp and Raymond Springer,
former state commander of the
American Legion, are expected to
enter the lists.
There is some talk that friends of
Frederick Lands of Logansport,
a candidate for the nomination in
1923, will push him into the race,
but those close to the editor and
radio columnist say that he doesn't
want to be mentioned as an aspir-
ant.
If the Republican convention is
deadlocked, Lands may get the call,
and he is holding himself open for
the invitation.
Meanwhile, M. Bert Thurman,
former national committeeman, who
announced first, is covering the
state in an effort to line up dele
gates.
Naturally at this time the Knapp
candidacy takes the center of in.

Well liked by the representatives
who served under him when Speak

Knapp is extremely popular and re-

come in contact.
He is not well known over the
state as a whole, but an intensive

under way soon.
To certain degree, he is a rain
bucket" candidate-that is, waiting
for the nomination to come his Way.
Knapp's platform, although de-
void of mention of the utilities, will
meet with great response, it is said,
his strongest plank being enactment
of income and sales tax laws.
The dope is that the former
Speaker is the candidate of the
sales tax group headed by Bert

UTILITY LAWS
AUTHOR FLAYS
RECENT RULING
B. B. ShiveIy Says Public
Service Commission Has
Abused Its Powers.

BIZ Times Special
GREENCASTLE, Ind, March A.
Majority decision of the public
service commission in the North
Manchester case was scored here
Thursday night by former Senator
B. B. Shively, co~author of the bill
creating the commission.
Present plight of the public I'M
der big utility dictatorship calls for
drastic action, he contended.
AS measures Of relief, he suggest
ed direct election of public service
commissioners and complete COM
mission control over holding COM
panies.
Shively's talk was the first of a
series on public utility questions
to be given De Paw university
students and the public under aus
pices Of the school.
Manchester Ruling FIayed
Terming the Martinsville decision
in the federal court, which upheld
the municipal unit as the basis for
rate making, victory for the peo-
pie" Shively referred to the North
Manchester decision of the commits
sion as a decided defeat.
The latter decision, made by
vote of three to two, placed the
commission on record as forbidding
any city or town to cut in on big
electric utility and own its own
distribution system through COM
mission approval.
Shively termed the decision "a
bold attempt to read a construc-
ton into the law that is not now,
nor ever has been, there"
He then condemned mergers and
said there is no law, whatever, in
Indiana for mergers of utilities not
giving like services.
Mergers Seen Harmful
Were mergers demanded by the
people?" he asked.
Certainly they were not. Who
then-why by none other than our
friendly enemy-the utilities, who
seek to wax fat through merged
valuations upon which the dear
public is required to pay fair re-
turn.
THE commission has been in
error in permitting mergers. There
only is one marked reason why they
should ever be granted, so far as
am able to see, and that is the
general good of the public.
But I defy any one to show me
a case wherein merger has ever
been accompanied by a reduced
rate"
Declaring the fright to take over"
must be preserved, the former
senator continued:
Without it the people lose one of
their formidable weapons looking
toward adequate service and reason

and blocked lis almost at every turn

Municipal plants should be given
free rein to reduce rates as long as
service is unimpaired and private
utilities rigidly controlled in the
same interest of the people, he
concluded.
