Indiana and new YORK
May DECIDE FATE OF
STOP ROOSEVELT DRIVE
First Ballot
Claims Are
Challenged
BY RAY TUCKER
Times staff Writer

CHICAGO, June 23.-Claims OF
Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt
spokesman that he will be nomi-
mated for the presidency on the
Democratic conventions first ballot
were challenged by his rivals today
with figures indicating that he may
fall short about 100 votes.
This estimate is based on the be-
lief that many favorite sons and
uninstructed delegations headed by
Alfred E. Smith of New York will
hold out against the New York Gov
ernor for enough ballots to prevent
bandwagon rush.
Among the delegates claimed by
the stop Roosevelt" faction, how
ever, are ninety-Six whose attitude
will not be known until the bal
loting begins.
Roosevelt needs ITO out of 1854
votes for the nomination, with 385
as the minimum his enemies must
have to hold him by one vote.
They claim that they have 483 for
last-ditch fight, and expect to cor
raj secondary strength if they can
maintain their lines for a few roll
calls.
But among their stop Roosevelt"
army are included eighteen doubt
full delegates in Pennsylvania,
twenty-eight in Illinois, thirty in
Indiana and about twenty in New
York, where Tammany Leader John
F. Curry win dominate. Everything
depends on what this bloc does on
the first ballot and subsequent bal
lots.
The anti-Roosevelt peoples calcu-
lations are based on the expectation
that the following delegations and
favorite sons will hold out against
him to the end: Alfred E. Smith
of New York, 1874; John H. Garner

The Americans believed that
French opposition, intensified by
the Paris press and French poll
ticians, could be overcome through
new offers of security.
This might be achieved through
a unilateral security pledge which,
combined with another purely
European security pact, would meet
the French requirements.
Approved by Italy @
Italy was the first nation to give
the plan complete and uncondition-
al approval.
Foreign Minister Dino Grandi
communicated the plan by tele-
phone to Premier Benito Mussolini.
II Duce approved it Immediately.
He outlined the speech which
Grand later made before the COM

Support of the plan by Germany,
Spain, Russia and Great Britain
was considered practically COM

only slight reservations.

BY JOSEPH H. BAIRD
United Press STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, June %. A
world overburdened with ornaments
and resulting taxes today acclaimed
President Hoover's plea for a re-
duction of nearly one.third in guns,
ships and fighting men.
Although the Hoover plans full
success is far from sure, Ambassador
Hugh Gibson at Geneva reported
to State Secretary Henry L. Slim
son that it had been enthusiastically
received.
Italy accepted promptly and I'M
conditionally, just as it did Mr.
Hoover's debt moratorium a year
ago The ether powers spoke well
of the plan, but did not commit
themselves finally. France said it
kcould not disarm without security.
Britain Sacrifices Most
A competent analysis of the pro-
posals effect on the worlds navies
revealed that Geat Britain would
sacrifice most. 1t would scrap $685.
$40 tons of ships.
The United States would lose $685.
$50 tons in battleships, destroyers
and submarines, while building a.
$50 tons in aircraft carriers and
cruisers.
Japan would lose 266, 1853 tons.
While the administration was
seeking disarmament, Rear Admiral
William A. Moffett chief of naval
aeronautics, warned against neglect
of defense, and said the United
States by so doing is riding for a
fall" He told the American Legion
at Macon, Ga:

The Hoover plan would abolish
bombing planes, heavy artillery, gas
and tanks.
1t would cut armies by one-third

1t would reduce the worlds navies

and pools this summer.
A few weeks ago, the word came
from the city hall that anything
within the recognized realm of
decency would be acceptable at city
pools.
The inch leeway soon became a
INLET looked like that to the
matrons and lifeguards-and the
trouble started.
One young damsel was given the
outside sign at a pool Wednesday
afternoon. 1t was reported reliably
that had she spent another five
minutes in the pool there would
have been riot.
TIVE problem has heaped itself
l. on H. w. Middlesworth, recre-
alton director.
This afternoon he will lay the
facts before the park board, and it
then will be up to the board to
pass the edict.
Some will favor leaving it up to
the judgment OF the pool directors.
Others will get behind the plan
of posting rules and regulations. If
that happens, then Middlesworth is
up against it again; he probably
will have to write those rules.
DRASSIERE suits, so far, have
- drawn most of the fire
But there are others with only
straps over the shoulders and down
the back to keep the sun off the
spots that aren't to be tanned.
And one-piece suit s. wham,
they're going to be poison.
But the new trick is that of the
young women who come to the pools
CARRIED in three-piece suits, includ-
ing skirt. The life guards report
those skirts disappear somewhere
along the line.
The park board also pans to
stop another pool practice It's
that of the men swimming only in
shorts. IN private pools that may
be all right, but the municipal spots
no!
So, within the next twenty -four
hours, the swimmers will know how
far they can or, rather, can't, go
