COSTS INCREASED BY
NRA, UTILITY CLAIMS
Company Seeks to NuIIify
Rate Cut Order.

Operating expenses has increased
approximately $25O,OOO a year as a
direct result of NRA, the public
service commission was told yester-
day at rehearing of the Public
Service Company of Indiana rate
case.
The utility seeks to set aside the
commission order of April II when
rates in 200 communities in fifty
one counties were ordered lowered.
With the commission order Sched-
uled to become effective May 1. the
utility obtained a federal court re-
straining order. The commission
grant of rehearing nullified the
federal writ.
Evidence supporting the utility's
contention that operating costs
have taken a huge upward leap was
presented to the commission by l..
B. SchieSz, company comptroller.

WATSON PLAYS
Willy GAME IN
C. 0. P. RACE
Ex-senator Quietly Round
ing Up Votes for Party
Leadership.
BY DANIEL VI. KIDNEY
Times staff Writer

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 90
Despite his own statements that he
is mot candidate in any sense of
the word" willy Jim Watson is said
to be in position now to poll more
votes for the Republican national
committee Craftsmanship than any,
one else in the field.
The balloting will be at Chicago
on June 5, date of the G.. o. P. state
convention at indianapolis, where
Jim was scheduled to present the
name of Senator Arthur R. Rob-
inson in nomination.
According to certain senators
who have been checking up on the
situation, the former Senator James
Eli Watson has been getting results
from a roundup he quietly has been
making of the committee members.
They would not go so far as to
say that they believe that he has
votes enough to succeed Everett
Sanders, who has resigned, but they
are unanimous in agreeing that he
has more votes for the post than
any one else.
Watson in Control
Senator Charles L. McNary (Rep.,
Ore0 stated today that the plan to
put Vice-Chairman Ralph E. Will
liams of Oregon in as acting chair
man until after the November cleo
ton is no longer being considered.
Mr.. Williams has refused to accept,
the senator said.
Statesmen of Ex-senator WatSon'S
availability" base it on the declara-
ton that he is the leading CON
sentative" who is at all acceptable
to the 'progressives.
If he doesn't have enough votes
to put him in the Craftsmanship, he
will at least have sufficient to do
some debating at the Chicago meet
ing, it is conceded.
That summing up also expresses
~Gl1C way C41S COI1S1 CSSlOIldl OCl1lO-
Gratis feel about R. Earl Peters as
a senatorial candidate. While in
the city last week, Mr.. Peters
frankly admitted that he has more
than enough delegates to be NOM
mated on the first ballot.
Peters Strength Conceded
While the majority of the Hoo
siers on the hill here refuse to
acknowledge that strength, they adj
nit that no nominee can be chosen
without Mr.. Peters consent.
Mr.. Peters was assured by Post
master General James A. Farley,
who also is national Democratic
chairman, that Indiana'S Democratic
ticket will receive national support
in the fall.
Certain of the congressional Of
fees predicted that this support
largely will be in the way of speak
ers.
IF they have any cash they will
pour it into Pennsylvania and lose,
rather than take it to Indiana and
win was one pessimistic prediction,

The legitimate actor and his

subject which Bert Lytell has
every right to discuss, in view
of his years in the theater and
his record on the screen, having
been listed among the "talkie"
pioneers in ION Trial" Now
that he will appear at the Shu-
bert-Belasco Theater, week be-
ginning Monday, as the star Of
S. N. Behrman'S comedy suc-
cess, 'The Second Man" Lytell's
comment is of particular in
terest.
''The secret of movie acting,
after all, is the technique Of the
Closeup" Lytell says. 1T is in
the closeup that a movie actor
makes his reputation, and that
is why some actors with bad
voices and expressive eyes can
succeed in the movies where
they fail on the stage or in the
talkieS.
But, on the other hand, I
have found that in coming from
the movies back to the legitimate
stage the art of using the face
as a medium for expressing emo
ton has given me greater re-
