KOHLER, Wis. Aug. 2.-Former

tended roaring factory furnaces
himself in his youth, said today
that rioting strikers have failed to
shatter his ideals of friendly en-
loyer-employe relations, although
they did thorough job of shatter-

in his office amid a litter of broken

EARL PETERS
IS IN LINE FOR
HOUSINGPOST
Former State Chairman to
Get Hoke'S Job, View

FAVORED BY FARLEY

Temporary, Belief in
Political Circles.
FAVORED BY FARLEY

r. Earl Peters, former Democratic
state chairman, is expected to take
over the duties of housing admin
istrator for Indiana within the next
thirty or sixty days.
Although Fred Hoke, indianapolis,
who has resigned as national emer-
gency council director for Indiana,
was appointed to the housing post
Sunday, the appointment is re-
ported to be only of a temporary
nature and that Mr.. Peters really
is destined for the post.
Postmaster General James A. Far
ley repeatedly has indicated that
the national administration is 60
ing to take care" of Mr.. Peters,
who was defeated in the state con-
vention race for nomination to the
United States senate.
Reports that Mr.. Peters will take
The housing administrator job are
in line with the feeling in state
political circles.
The former state chairman first
was mentioned as Mr. Hoke's sue
ceSSor as NEG director, but Gov
ernor Paul v. McNutt and his ad-
visers are reported to feel that
such an appointment would give
Mr.. Peters too much political
power.
Mr.. Peters is far from dead
politically" they realize, and some
of the McNutt political strategists
do not want the former state chair
man in a federal position where
he would be able, if he we're SO
minded, to rebuild his broken po-
litical fences.
The housing administrator post
would "take care" of Mr.. Peters
for his long service to the party,
but would not give him the po-
litical power that NRA compliance
authority would.

MOTHER SEEKS
BABY'S CUSTODY
Woman'S Battle CompIi-
Gated by Dispatches From
Minneapolis.

Battle of Mrs. Mabel McCane,
Minneapolis hospital owner, to re-
tain custody of 2-year-old Juliet
Korth, today was complicated with
dispatches from Minneapolis that
the childs unwed mother, Miss Eva
Elizabeth Korth, is seeking to re-
gain the child.
Mrs. McCane was arrested here a
week ago on vagrancy charges when
local police learned she had left
Minneapolis to avoid placing the
child in custody Of juvenile court
there.
Today, Mrs. McCane, who claims
the mother gave the child to her,
filed petition for a writ Of habeas
corpus in superior court here to re-
gain custody of the child, which
temporarily has been placed in the
Indianapolis orphans home pend
ing settlement of the case.
Local authorities today were noti-
fed that although neither the Min
neapolis welfare society nor the
state child welfare bureau of Min
nesota can provide funds for the
child'S return, Miss Korth is plead
ing for her daughter.
Two years ago when the unwed
mother lay in the Midwest Mater
nifty hosital, Minneapolis, she signed
her baby over to Mrs. McCane, the
hospital owner.
Since then Mrs. McCane has wan
dered over the midwest to escape
the possibility of being forced TO
give up the child.

Another Uprising Imminent,
Says Note Sent to
Europe'S Powers.
APPROVAL IS EXPECTED
Britain, France and Italy to
Reply FavorabIy,

Ccopyright. 1894. BY United Press

u.
LONDON. Aug. 14.-Austria has
sent a note to Britain, France and
Italy asking permission to enlarge
it's army because it fears another
Nazi putsch is imminent, it was
learned today.
The note seeks an agreement
permitting Austria to maintain a
special auxiliary armed force Of
5000 troops beyond the existing
10000 in the regular army.
The powers are considering the
req-est and are expected to reply
favorably.
Advices from Vienna indicated
that Prince Ernst Rudiger Won
Starhemberg, Austrian vice-chan-
cellor, who has been comforting in
Rome with Premier Benito MuSSo-
lini, would go to Paris shortly to
seek French support of the army
plan.
Wen-informed sources here were
ready to credit the Austrian fear Of
another revolt. 1t is known that
the abortive uprising of July 25
was premature and ill-planned. 1t
did not have the support of the
full Nazi strength, which is tire
mendous in Austria.
The hangings which now are in
progress tend to keep the Nazis
Infatuated and eager for reprisalS.
Under the st. German treaty,
the Austrian army is limited to
10000, although it actually totals
at present a little more than 10000.
The number of gendarmes, customs
officers, foresters and members OF
police forces must not exceed the
number employed in a similar ca
pacity in 1918. Austria has no
military or naval air forces.
Consent by Britain, France and
Italy to a military increase would
be regarded widely as a gesture OF
the former allies in support OF
Austrian independence, particularly
against German encroachment.
