GOVERNOR MAY
FIGHT TO KEEP
HIGHWAY FUNDS
Leslie Also May Ask That
Gasoline Tax Be Taken
Away From Cities.
BY DANIEL NJ. KIDNEY

Although both his own and the
Democratic party are on record in
their platform for greater local dis
tribution of the $4,000, 900 funds of
the state highway department. Gov
ernor Harry G.. Leslie has indicated
he may fight to keep these funds
intact at the special legislative ses-
sion started July 7.
Further, he may support the pro-
possl OF Chairman Albert j. Wede-
king Of the state highway commits
sion 10 take the l cent state gas
oline tax, now being distributed to
cities, counties and towns, and give
it to the state highway department
TO maintain county roads.
Leslie refused to commit himself
pointblank regarding his stand, but
he showed the trend it is taking by
citing the history of the state gas
tax and what he believes happens
when funds are collected by the
state and spent by local govern
mental units.
Sop to Folks Back Home
THE reason the 1-cent distribu-
ton locally was written into the
gasoline tax law was because it was
the only way possible for the legis-
lsture to raise the tax to 4 cents
gallon" the Governor declared.
That cent was just a sop to the
folks back home. so the state high
way department could have a g.
cent levy.
Il know, when the measure was
being enacted, that it was argued
that the cent would cut down city,
county, and town road maintenance

But what really has happened is

have unfortunately not been re- alized, and the economic troubles which it was designed to alleviate have not come to an end.
 "Tndeed in October of last year, the communique published at Washington on the occasion of Monsieur Laval's visit already rec- ognized that prior to the expira- ton of the Hoover year some agreement on intergovernmental obligations may be necessary cove ering the period of the business depresion.'
 ''It was in accordance with the recommendation quoted above that in June last the European creditor powers met at Lausanne to agree on a lasting settlement of the problem created by intergovern- mental payments in respect of reparations. The series of agree ments reached on July 9th aims at the ultimate termination of all reparation payments. It repre- sents the maximum contribution in the field of intergovernmental finance which the governments concerned have so far been able to make towards that early restora- ton of world prosperity.
 Ion the nature of the remedial measures that may have to be adopted it is not proposed now to say more than that, in the recent past, his majesty's government in the United Kingdom have fre- quently expressed their view, and that neither in the realm of theory nor in that of fact are they able to find any reason for amending it. They believe that the regime of ntergovernmental financial obliga- tions as now existing must be re- viewed. They are profoundly im- pressed with the importance of acting quickly; and they earnestly hope that the United States gov- ernment will see its way to enter into an exchange of views at the earliest possible moment"

Miss Slattery at
 Church Forum Delivered an Address Last Night Before Large
 Audience {

Miss Margaret Slattery, noted lecturer, educator and author, was the speaker last night at the Sec ond church. The title of her talk was ''The Cynic Knocks at Your Door,. She scored cynics who claim that the world is bad and will al- way remain SO. She told her au-. dience that Russia is now in the midst of one of the greatest exper- iments of civilization and govern lnent that the world has ever known and that while the cynic says 1t can't be done the Russian dreamers say they have hit upon scheme that will beneht all the people.
 The dreamer. Miss slattery said, stands for progress and has been the means of progress. Yet the cynic is always knocking on peo- ple's doors trying hard to make them materialistic and believe that progress is impossible.
 A question period followed Miss Slattery's talk. She admitted that marriage is easier and divorce cas- fer in Russia. As to illegitimate children, she said her guide. while she was in Russia, told her that there were none but that there were illisitimate parents.

PRESIDENT ON
 HIS TRIP BACK
 TO THE CAPITAL
His Important Telegram to His Successor Stirred Up Activity in Foreign Debt Problem
BY HENRY F. MISSELWITZ fIynife5 prass Staff COrn.psnOnflenf

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Aboard President Hoover's Spe- cftl Train, November IA (UP) - President Hoover was returning to Washington today burdened with consideration of an interna- tional war-debt situation so grave that he has asked the cooperation of President-Elect Franklin D. Roosevelt and the incoming ad- ministration in it's solution.
 The president inviting Governor Roosevelt to such a White House conference later this week, took an unprecedented action. In. his tele- gram to the president-elect he re- of the debt problem to the nation and the need of dealing in non- partisan fashion with the question flor the common good of the country"
 Mir Hoover emphasized the prev ious attitude of congress in refus- ing to accept some of his pro- posals aimed toward further nego- tiat;ons after the Hoover mora torium and informed Roosevelt he was '1oath to proceed with recom- mendations to the congress" until he could confer in stating the ad- ministration's case in his telegram he apparently has put aside any further public utterance on tho subject until his expected confer- ence is concluded.
 The president plans no further mention of the international ques- ton until reaching Washington!
 President Hoover's telegram was sent Saturday. reportedly soon af- ter he reached Boulder City. Ne vada, for his tour of inspection of the $165,000,000 Colorado river dam project named in his honor. It was not made public until yes- terday. a few hours before a con ference with the press.
 The chief executive appeared anxious to get back to his desk III the White House. He looked rested, and has acquired a healthy tan from his few days on the Pa cific coast. He intends, after his conference with his elected sue cessor, to go over budget problems with administration officials. He also is completing his program for reorganization of the federal government as authorized by con- gross.
 MT Hoover feels this wsl be sig nificant enough to cause some surprise. For years he has been interested in the problem of rid. ding the government structure or overlapping bureau and depart mental functions. Under action by the last session of congress he may by executive order put into effect such changes, provided congress fails to act within 50 days on ms recommendations.

HOLLYWOOD, July 3O.-The

puzzled friends of Lima Basquette
today as the brunei dancer re-
covered from a serious illness sup
posed to be the result either Of tax
ing poion or drinking onion soup
which disagreed with her.
When Miss Basquette was rushed
to an emergency hospital, she left
a note which read:
Jack. I love you, only you. 1
couldn't go on without YOU
The note first was believed in
tended for Jack Dempsey, former
heavyweight boxing champion,
whose name had been linked with
that of Miss Basquette in a re-
ported romance.
But Dempsey said: That story
about us being engaged was just
publicity stunt"
SO far as her friends knew to-
day, the engagement to marry Teddy
Hayes, Dempssy's former manager,
announced Thursday night, still is
IN force.
Shortly thereafter, Miss Bas-
quette was taken to a hospital. She
told DR.. Ivo Lopizich, police
surgeon, that she had swallowed
100 tablets of caustic poison.
Friends. however, said she mere
ly had taken little onion oup."

By United Press
CLEVELAND, July 30.-The or
ganization which has controlled
Republican county politics here for
three decades, was enmeshed today
in the investigation of a half-mil-
lion-dollar shortage in the county
treasury.
Maurice Maschke, former Repub-
lican national committeeman and
veteran leader of the organization.
was the outstanding figure.
His indictment on charge of aid
ing and abetting the embezzlement
of $4,000 from the treasury
shocked Cleveland today.
He was charged with signing a
$4,000 note which, it is alleged,
was used to cover transactions in
which the treasury was MIXED of
tax funds, and the money used to
finance private enterprises.
Maschke denied the charges. He
called them untrue, malicious and
absolutely without foundation"
Others named in the MaSchke
indictment were Alex Bernstein,
former chief deputy county treas
urer; Henry A. Beckerman, political
associate of Maschke, and H. H.
Felsman, Beckerman's law partner.
Sources in the county court build
ing said others would be involved
before the investigation is COM
pleted.
Herman H. Finkle, lieutenant OF
MaSchke and known as Cleveland's
most powerful city councilman, was
named in another indictment in
connection with the deficit.
He was charged with aiding Alex
Bernstein in embezzlement and
grand larceny of $37,273.52. 1t was
said that he also planned to enter
not guilty plea.
Joseph LANCE, Republican ward
leader and former deputy treasurer,
was indicted on a separate charge
of embezzlement and forgery.
Maschke has a wide acquaintance
in all parts of the United States
through the position as national
committeeman, which he resigned
only last month.
He had been guest at the White
House of Presidents Hoover, Hard
ing and Coolidge, and was the origi-
nal Hoover leader in Ohio.
When arraigned today, Maschke
and four otheer defendants pleaded
not guilty to the charges. Maschke
Charles Bernstein, Beckerman anc
Herman Felsman were placed under
$4,000 bonds. Herman Finkle, coun-
Gilman, was placed under bond Of
$4,000.
The trials were set for Sept. 6.

Merchants today reported heavy

indianapolis citizens pr pared for

Here and there a few scattered
Sneezes and sniffles may be heard,
forerunners of the mighty chorus to
begin as the season opens formally
early in August, when ragweed and
other offending plants begin to cast
their pollen on the breezes.
While physicians estimate that
not more than one in forty or fifty
persons is afflicted to any degree
with this uncomfortable and annoy
ing ailment, the estimate seems low
when the season gets in full swing
and red noses and watering eyes be-
come the rage.
