The action was expected as the
only move calculated to delay or
avert necessity for devaluing the

What doubt there might have been
regarding the Dawes and Young
loans was cleared up by a spokes-
man of the bank who told the Unit
ed Press:
1.-THE moratorium includes all
middle and long term transfers of

The Nazi cabinets insistence that
the gold standard for the mark be
maintained was meeting opposition
in industrial and commercial quar-

Months ago The Indianapolis
Times started a campaign for util-
tiles regulation. Cooperating with
The Times, Mr.. Minton and the

Results were obtained and political

Kelly, but he was too late.
Negro fishermen. unaware of the

The subpoena will seek his appear
ance before a congressional COM
mittee investigating, %subversive
activities, it was understood. Hanf-
staengl will be asked to testify con-
corning the wartime Black Tom ex-
plosion case and concerning Nazi
propaganda.
Hanfstaengl is named in an afi-
davit filed with the state depart
ment in Washington as the alleged
master who engineered destruction
of 5 100000 worth of ammunition
at a critical period of the war.
The affidavit was sworn to by
James Larkin, deported Irish labor
leader who told Casimir P. Palmer,
former Scotland Yard detective, that
Hanfstaengl distributed the ex-
plosives used to dynamite Black
Tom.
Palmer persuaded Larkin to give
his version of the Black Tom affair
by bringing to his attention a pub
lished attack on him by Germans.
Larkin told the Scotland Yard in
vestigator: THE Germans ap-
preached me on many occasions. NJ
Irishman participated in the ex-
plosion of Black Tom. 1 know every
one who is responsible for the blow
ing up of Black Tom and I know
the kind of explosives that were
used. I know every one by name
because I stayed with them in the
same hotel in Mexico City.
ut was Franz Won Papen who
organized the sabotage in the United
States. The man who organized
the destruction of plants was a mar
named HanfStaengl, an art dealer
at Fifth avenue and Forty-fftt
street. I saw him in Berlin some
time after I left the United States.
Larkin was deported in 1928.

Bother Sherman Minton,
They Hint.
BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY
Times staff Writer

WASHINGTON, June 14-"Lil'
Arthur Robinson is the Kingfish
candidate for United States sen
ator from Indiana.
Although a rampant Republican,
who as the now senior senator from
the Hoosier state is given to rant
ing against President Roosevelt from
the senate floor, Senator Robinson
has the blessing of his colleague On
the Democratic side-Senator Huey
P. Long of Louisiana.
When Senator Robinson returned
recently from being renominated by
the G.. o. P. state convention at In
dianapolis, Senator Long wrung his
hand in congratulations and said:
I'm not only glad that you were
renoninated, but I hope you will be
elected"
Asked later as to the sincerity of
his remarks, the red-haired, freckle-
face, fashy dressing Kingf1sh re-
torted in characteristic fashion.
You're damn right I meant it."
Senator Long asserted half belliger-
emily. I'm for Senator Robinson
and 1 don't care who knows it."
Would you care to elaborated"
he was asked.
"All 1 have to say is that he is
a Progressive and I am for all pro-
gressives. He is for the veterans
and the poor man and so am L"
So Sherman Minton, the Demo-
cratic opponent of lii Arthur" is
going to have to worry along with
out support from the author of
every Man A King"
But he has this consolation-Sen-
ator Long said he would not enter
the Indiana campaign as a stump
speaker for Senator Robinson.

Leaders of the Amalgamated As

PARIS, June 14.-The French
mails we're found today to be loaded
with dangerous bombs, mailed by a
maniac or group of maniacs with an
insane desire to destroy the French

Three more bombs were discovered
this afternoon, making a total of
seven. Police believed the mailman
had mailed perhaps twenty bombs.
Each was constructed on the same
system, containing a tube of dyna-
mite exploded by a cap when the
package was opened, releasing a

The latest bombs were addressed
to a news distributing company, a

company. Letters accompanying

Birds of a Feather

Indiana expressed it's sentiments
about Huey Long at the national
Democratic convention at Chicago,
and I don't see why its opinion
would be changed"
This was the reaction this after
noon of Governor Paul v. McNutt
to the unedifying spectacle of a
Democratic senator indorsing the
Republican Senator Arthur r. Rob-
inson of Indiana for reelection.
The Governor referred to the
contest at the national convention
when opposing delegates lists were
filled with the credentials commit
tee by THE Kingfsh" and John
Ewing, New orleans publisher.
Indiana voted against the seating
of the Long delegates, although Sem
ator Long eventually was success
full in installing his delegation from

nominee. had nothing to say about
the Long Endorsement of Robinson.
Notified of the Kingish's mag
unanimous gesture of fellowship in
supporting Lii Arthur's candidacy,

mayoral candidate, said: We'll,

Local Republicans generally re-
fused to be quoted about the King

The Presidents proposals would

hard fight attempting to keep
the delegates under control.
They chafed against his ruiz
ings, and he pounded his
gavel constantly.
Tighe opened the convention with
a brief address, urging the dele
gates to confine themselves solely TO
the strike situation. His warning
was prompted by reports that sew
eral local matters might be forced
before the convention, and possibly
a move started to GUST Tighe as
president.
Vote on whether the union will
call a nationwide steel strike prob
ably will not be reached before to-
morrow, Tighe said. The afternoon
session will be given over to another
roll call and the convention chair
mans address, he added.
A strong pro-strike sentiment was
evident among the delegates as they
went into the meeting. They frank
ly emphasized that they could not
face their lodges again unless they
carried with them assurance of def

Steel concerns here continued
