of the old-time semaphores on

Several hours before the race
start the infield was filling up fast

to bring the crowd out, and traf-

SENATE NEARING
CRISIS IN FIGHT
OVER TUGWELL
Brain-Truster's Nomination
to New Post Due for
Early Showdown.
By United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, May 30.-The
future and influence of the Roose-
welt administrations No. l BRAIN
truster are at stake in a fight which
approached a senate crisis today.
The Presidents nomination of
Rexford Guy Tugwell to be under
secretary of agriculture is due for
showdown battle soon.
Mr.. Tugwell may resign his pres
ent position as assistant secretary
if the new nomination is not con-
firmed.
Smith Controls Situation
For the moment, chairman Ellison
D. Smith of the senate agriculture
committee controls the situation.
The nomination was referred to his
committee. Mr.. Smith opposes Mr..
Tugwell, holding that practical
dirt farmer" is to be preferred to
a theoriSt.
Mr.. Smiths strategy to kill the
nomination would be to refuse to
let his committee meet before adj
iournment of congress. Thus, he
could stop the nomination unless
the fight were carried to the SEN
ate floor.
There are enough Tugwell sup
porters to insure a favorable re-
port and confirmation once the
nomination is considered. There
were indications they will bring the
issue directly before the senate on
a motion to discharge the commit
tee with the nomination.
Bankhead Supports Tugwell
A word from the White House
would be sufficient to accomplish
this.
Senator John H. Bankhead (Dem.,
Ala.) is a Tugwell supporter. While
anxious to avoid an open break, he
may be expected to act if he be-
lieves developments warrant.
Mounting pressure behind the
Tugwell nomination would have an
effect on Mr.. Smiths position. The
burly, loquacious South Carolinian
might surrender and permit his
committee to act.

DESPAIR TURNS
TO OPTIMISM IN
Geneva FARLEY
Arms Delegates Cheered by
Pledges of Soviet and
U. S. Speakers.
By United Press

By OHIted Press
GENEVA, May 3O.-Disarma-
ment delegates of the worlds powers
sat down at the conference table
again today in an atmosphere con-
verted in twenty-four hours from
one of abject hopeleSSnesS to one OF
cheerful optimism. They believed
that perhaps something might be
done after all to reduce the worlds
armament burdens, Thus staving OIL
the ever present possibility of war
between nations armed to the. teeth.
Sir John Simon, British foreign
minister, and Louis Barthou, French
foreign minister, we're the speakers
and delegates hoped they would
make concrete proposals that would
continue the new path toward solu-
ton of what had appeared a hope
less problem which was opened yes
terday by Norman H. Davis, United
States delegate, and Maxim Litvlnov,
soviet foreign commiSSar.
Delegates and observers agreed
that the worlds greatest capital
istic Countrywide United States
and the worlds only communiStic
power, both non-members of the
league had INTERVIEWED to save the
long moribund disarmament confer
ence from complete collapse.
Russia Opens Door
First reaction gave Mr.. Litvinov'S
proposals more possibilities for good
than Mr. Davis, 1t was believed
that the Russian diplomat had
opened wide door through which
Germany could return to the con-
ference and the League of Nations
and Japan and the United States,
both montague members, could
participate in league disarmament
work without being members. MIR.
Litvinovs proposals we're essentially
simple. He suggested the confer
ence be made a permanent agency
through which would flow the
worlds efforts to make war impos-
sible. Delegates felt that should
this suggestion be adopted, Ger
many could not afford to hold aloof.
Mr.. Davis in proposing a return
to the British plan of limited
French disarmament and limited
German rearmament as a basis of
negotiations, was believed by many
to be making an empty gesture.
France, it was said, is adamant in
her opposition to any plan calling
for German rearmament.
LitvinOv'S Speech Praised
Some diplomats described Mr.
Litvinov's speech as the most i'm
portant event since the establish
ment of the. league. Some pro-
fessed to see in it Russian bid for
an invitation to join the league,
which, if true, would strengthen an
institution drastically shaken by
the withdrawal of Germany and
Japan.
Many professed to believe that
Mr.. Litvinov had provided the for
mula whereby Germany coud return
to the league and conference, but
Germans, unoff1cially, scoffed at
such a conclusion.
They did not believe Hitler would
care to renew participation until
his premise of arms equality was
recognized.

BOYS CRASH GATES
IN RUMBLE SEATS
Youths Employ New Stunt
to See Classic.

A unique method of gate-crash-
ing was successfully being attempted
by a long line of boys standing on
the road near the Speedway ELL
frances today.
They hailed coupes and roadsters,
climbed in rumble seats, which were
closed down over them and climbed
out in the infield.
The usual crowd of boys was
perched perilouSly in the top
branches of trees outside the gates.
Sunburned, youthful national
guardsmen oficiously patroled their
beats, scowling over the fences for
traces of gate-crashers.
Local police handled the traffic
easily. 1t flowed smoothly up Six
tenth street and filed rapidly in
side the gates.

maker rolled, out on the track
Greasy, haggard mechanics pushed
the gasoline mounts out in front
of the pits, while the drivers
watched nervouSly.

tory awaited events in the white

TROOPS
PREPARED FOR
LENGTHY SIEGE
Strike Mediation Reaches
ImpaSSe; General Tieup
Danger Grows.


TOLEDO, May 30.-Toledo's strife
yoIn industrial area became the
spearhead of a national battle be-
tween labor and capital today as
arbitration in the Electric Auto-Lite
strike reached an impasse and the
city was threatened with tieup of
all business.
National guard troops, modified
last week after rioting caused two
deaths and injuries to a hundred
persons, prepared for an indefinite
siege at the wrecked Auto-Lite plant
after federal mediators announced
they had exhausted all efforts at
arbitration.
Strike of all American Federation
Of Labor afflliates in the city was
threatened within forty-eight hours
unless the Auto-Lite issue is settled.
All electrical workers in the city
issued an ultimatum that thew
would walk off their jobs tomorrow
unless the Auto-Lite situation clears.
This would mean virtual paralysis
of all the city's business, as it would
tie up all industry depending upon
the Toledo Edison Company for
light and power.
Governor Gets Busy
Governor George White mean
while began frantic efforts to
bring peace. He said he had con-
ferred with William Green, A. F. of
L. president, and had been informed
that representative was being sent
here to aid in negotiations
Governor White attempted to con-
fer with Labor Sescretary Frances
Perkins in Washington. She was
en- route to New York. He planned
to telephone her today.
Strikers and Sympathizers made
! ominous preparations for renewal of
the three-day rioting of last week.
Officials regarded last weeks riot
ing as finder for new and more dis
astrous fighting.
Strikers brought wagon loads of
bricks and rocks to their picket
lines, ready to renew the barrage on
the helmeted guardSmen.
OtuCl 4lOupS AeCduJ
Colonel William A. Marlin, COM
handing nearly thousand guards
men, said additional troops were
being held in readiness.
Fear that disorder would spread
to two sister plants of the Auto
Lite Company, the Logan Gear
Company and the Bingham stamp
ing Company, was expressed by
Ralph Lind, Cleveland regional
labor board chairman. He said he
anticipated serious trouble at the
Logan and Bingham shops.
Charles P. Taft, in charge of fed
eral mediatorS, said that concilia-
tors would remain available con-
Stantly to hear any proposal adj
vanced by either side.
Company Union Adamant
The last proposal offered by me-
diators was rejected by the COM
pany- sponsored union at Auto-Lite.
1t would have provided for striking
employees to be returned to their
jobs and for discharge of all strike
breakers.
Loyal workers refused to accede
to the proposal, even though they
we're aware the plant could not be
reopened otherwise.
Union leaders said the electrical
strike would be called by shifts, be-
ginning at a. m. tomorrow morn
ing. They added, however, that ev-
cry effort would be made to supply
service to hospitals and similar in
situations.
