REPUBLICANS in
WISCONSIN VOTE
FOR ROOSEVELT

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, April 7. U.P)
Indications that large numbers of
Progressive Republicans entered the
Democratic presidential primary to
vote for Governor Franklin D.
Roosevelt of New York was given
in election returns today.
Roosevelt won the Wisconsin del
egation to the national convention
easily, but The ProgreSsives deserted
their own primary in such numbers
to endanger the normal Republican
majority of the La Toilette faction
it was indicated.
While Democratic totals through
out the state swelled to record
highs, the Republican fight between
delegates pledged to Senator George
w. Norris of Nebraska and those
favorable to President Hoover was
nip and tuck.
Norris received the Progressive
endorsement while the "stalwart'
faction entered the delegates favor
able TO the President. The result
will not be certain until all returns
are in although the Norris delegates
today held a slim margin over their
opponents.
The Wisconsin elections also
showed marked gains for the Social
ist ticket in a number of Wisconsin
cities. Statewide ballot on the 80
year-old Sunday blue laws indicated
the measure had been repealed.

WASHINGTON, April 7. U.P-
Secretary of Interior Wilbur today
received from Gov. Lawrence M.
Judd of Hawaii, a telegraphic re-
port of conditions in the Hawaiian
Islands which took issue with sew
eral recommendation made last
Monday by Assistant Attorney Cen
eral Seth w. Richardson in his re-
port to congress.
Il do not concur in certain rec
concentrations carried in press dis
patches in form of purpoted sum-
mary by Mr.. Richardson Judd
said
I'm the face of his findings
which reveal Honolulu and the
islands to be as clean and normal
as any mainland community, Rich
ardSon recommends a confiscation
by congress of some of our most
treasured rights Of self-govern-
ment.
ITO transfer to Washington ap-
pointment of the territorial attor-
ney general and the police head
(Such transfer was recommended
in the Richardson reporD would
result in divided authority between
the governor and these offices with
resultant loss, no. gain, in efficiency
and no centralized responsibility"
The governor told Wilbur that
Richardson's criticism of the Homo

upon conditions no longer existing.

GARDINER REVIEWS
HIS NAVAL FEUD
WITH PRESIDENT.

WASHINGTON, April 7. U.P)-
President Williad H. Gardiner of
the navy league today renewed his
feud with President Hoover, charg-
ing that the President permitted the
United States fleet to be starved
into inadequacy."
Gardiner resumed his attack on
the administration in a $500 word
statement entitled THE Treasury
Deficit and Navy" the burden of
his argument was: The President
and congress have granted more
than ,000000,000 for economic re-
lief but will not approve $18,000,-
900 for naval construction next year.
For the last three years, the navy
has had to live off the shelf to
get by at all
The administrator has done "vir-
tually' nothing to replace warships
now over age or nearing the age
limit.
The United States navy now 'is
barely stronger than that of the
japanese and quite inferior to that
of the British"
Gardiner and the President last
fall waged a sensational word battle
after Mr.. Hoover ordered a reduc-
ton in naval budget estimates
Gardiner accused the President of
being "abysmally ignorant" of the
purpose of navi2S. The President
then appointed a special board,
which reported GARDENERS charges
to be without basis in fact"

PRIMARIES Give
ROOSEVELT FINE
RUNNING START
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER
,ited Press Staff Correspondent

United PreSS stan Correspondence
WASHINGTON, April 7. - The
two-to-one victory which Gov.
Franklin D. Roosevelt gained in
the Wisconsin primary over forces
friendly to his New York rival,
former governor Alfred E. Smith,
points a prophetic finger still more
emphatically toward the Chicago
Democratic national convention.
The clean sweep of Poosevelt's
slate of 26 delegates in Wisconsin
continues the pace which he has
set in mailing down Georgia, Iowa,
Maine, Minnesota, New Hampshire,
North Dakota, Washington, South
Dakota and Alaska for a total OF
165 assured delegates.
Against this, the keystone of his
opposition, Smith, has not set a
single delegate. Politicians are
somewhat at loss to figure why
the happy warrior of 1928, who
polled the largest vote any Demo-
crat had ever received, is unable
to get a running start this year.
The successive string of Roosevelt
victories has demoralized his op-
ponents. They now are stalking
everything on rally for Smith in
the Massachusetts primary an
April 26.
Meantime, Roosevelt is almost
certain to clinch Nebraska, Ken
lucky and Michigan for total of
so more delegates, plus a liberal
portion of the Illinois delegation.

LEADERS PLAN
FIGHT TO PAY
VETS BONUS

WASHINGTON, Aprip 7. U.P)-
Advocates of full payment of the
soldiers bonus are baSing their
fight on the argument that it would
have sound and beneficial effect
on the whole nation They claim
that the $4,000, 100000 of new money
the bonus would put into circula-
ton would restore commodity prices
and revive q degree of prosperity.
Senator Thomas Dem9 Okla
homa, who has bill in the senate
similar to the Patman measure in
the house, has just returned from
a visit to New York where he dis
cussed bonus legislation with lead
ing bankers.
Il early discovered that economic
legislation was not written in Wash
ington," Thomas said 1T is writ
ten in Wall Street and if the lead
erS there approve it, congress puts
its rubber stamp on it. So I went
to New York.
Governor Harrison of the federal
reserve bank agreed that the coun-
try needed more money in circuia-
ton but claimed that the federal
reserve board was putting it in cir
culation by buying government
bonds. I showed him that it was
not putting it in circulation fast
enough.
"Other bankers, all leading fig
ures recognized as the brains of Wall
Street, think the bill will cheaper
money. Others think it will inter
fere with their control over the
money market. Some believe it will
cause too much initiation.
IF we can raise commodity prices
I am for the bill-and they all ad-
nit it will raise Them
Representative Patman (Dem)
Texas, house leader of the bonus ad-
vocates, is convinced that "all we
have to do is show the people that
the payment of the bonus will ben
eft the country.
He questioned the accuracy OF
statements by National Commander
Henry L. Stevens of the American
Legion that only % Legion posts
are for the bill
Literally hundreds are for it and
the rank and file of the Legion are
for it, he said.

PREPARATIONS TO
BE DISCONTINUED
German RumOr Says Con-
ference At Lausanne TO
Issue Statement.
BY FREDERICK KUN

BERLIN. April I. - An "end of
reparations' in exchange for Ger
man pledges was forecast as a de-
Velopment of the Lausanne debts
and reparations conference today in
statement considered semi-offi-
cial.
The statement was part of a story
circulated here by the Wolff Tel
egraph agency, generally considered
to have sources close to the govern
ment. The foreign office, however,
promptly denied any connection
with the statement. Officials of
the press department appeared to
have no information regarding its
source.
The statement said it was be-
lieved the Lausanne conference
would "bluntly proclaim the end of
reparations, SO far as Europe is con-
cerned."
Germany would be expected to
maintain her own political situation
in order and not to advocate re-
vision of The Versailles treaty for a
number of years in exchange for
lifting of her reparations burden,
the statement said.
Both British and French we're
said to view the international fin
ancial situation as extremely grave
and to anticipate further aggrava-
ton of the condition during the
present year The condition of the
United States was considered of
special concern, the statement said,
but France and Britain had not
yet agreed on the method Of COM
municating to the United States
the expected abolition of repara-
tiOnS.
Regarding reported difference at
the four power conference in Lon
don on financial rehabilitation of
Danubian countries. financial quar-
ters understood that certain Eng
lish financiers had favored aban-
donment of the gold standard by
the Danubian countries and stabil-
ization on a lower gold basis, but
that France and Germany opposed
the plan.
1t was argued that public conf
dence in Danubian currency would
be lost completely if the gold STAN
dard was abandoned.

HAWKS INJURED
WHEN AIRPLANE
STRIKES WALL
Noted Flyer Suffers Bro
ken Jaw In Smash-Up
AT Worcester, Mass.

WORCESTER, Mass, April Z.
U.PEFrank Hawks, internationally
famous aviator, holder of many
distance flight records including
United States transcortinental
marks, was injured in a crash at
the airport near here today.
Hawks had fulfilled a lecture
date before Worcester Boy Scouts
last night and had intended to re-
turn Immediately to New York. He
deferred his start until this morn
ing, however, because of the muddy
condition of the field.
Unable to get his heavily loaded
low wing monoplane into the air
from a soggy field, he crashed into
q stone wall on the outskirts of
the airport.
The plane was smashed, but did
not take fire.
Unconscious and suffering from
severe head and face decorations,
the noted airman was extracted
with little difficulty by airport at
tacheS.
Enroute to the hospital at Wor-
cester, a few miles away, Hawks
regained consciousness.
Hawks flew here from Detroit
yesterday in 3 hours and 55 min
utes, and his big plane nosed over
in landing. His handling of the
craft averted an accident at that
time, however. An escort plane,
piloted by John w. LaSsell, Whit
insville aviator, was not so for
tunate and stood on its nose on the
muddy field.
The handful of spectators
watched Hawks as he TAXED down
the soggy field. Suddenly they
realized he was having difficulty
in getting aloft
The spectators waited, confident
that, when crash seemed almost
inevitable, Hawks would lift his
craft off the ground and skim the
wall.
But the plane clung to earth, re-
fusing to respond even to the mas
ter hand. A few seconds later If
crashed into the wall.
At city hospital X-rays disclosed
that the flyers most serious in
jury was fractured jaw. DR..
Ernest I. Hunt, who took charge
of the case, Immediately performed
an operation to set the jaw. He
described Hawks condition as fair
