Envoy to Spain to Aid
'36 Campaign, Say
Political Experts
BY EARL GOODWIN

Claude G. Bowers, United States
Ambassador Extraordinary and
Plenipotentiary to Spain, is being
considered for a place in the
Roosevelt Cabinet.
This is the definite statement
that is being whispered about
among insiders of the Democratic
national committee and their
friends. It is said on the best au-
thority that President Roosevelt
talked with Mr.. Bowers when he
was at the White House not long
ago, and is understood to have
sounded him out on the subject.
Mr.. Bowers left for New York
and is expected to return to Wash
ington within few weeks and
may give the President definite
answer then, if he hasn't thus far.
The rTmor has every appearance
Of being authoritative, and the
facts in the case are being care
fully guarded. -
l. Inquiry afsthe usual sources Of
official information have trawn
d succession Of blanks.
Campaign Move
The report takes on lively in,
terest at this time because it ar-
pears to be a heavy constructive
move in connection with the com.
ing campaign. Mr., Bowers is an
ardent New Dealer, has deep and
genuine admiration for the Presi.
dent. In addition, he is a Demo
crat of the Democrats, an editorial
writer, author and speaker Of
dominating character.
Being a Hoosier born and bred
he takes his politics seriously and
with a touch of fanaticism. Those
who have heard him in his ia.
nous keynote" appearances at
conventions and Jackson Day din
nerS realize that he can hold q
crowd of hard-boiled politicians
and end up with a peroration
that out-BryanS the late Mr..
Bryan.
1t is this quality in Mr.. Bowers
that would make him the out
standing threat among Cabinet
members when it comes time to
speak to the people regarding the
reelection Of President Roosevelt.
, Assuming the rumor is correct.

Ethiopia Demands League
Take Immediate Action

PARIS, July Is 0N.So-The
Ethiopian minister to Paris today
sent a note to the League OF
Nations requesting immediate &C
ton on the Italo- Ethiopian dispute.
The legation stated it was I'M
able to give out the text OF the
note until it had been published
officially in Geneva. 1t was re-
called, however, the Emperor Halle
Selassie on July 10, announced at
Adds Ababa he would demand
immediate League action.
It was believed the Ethiopian
note insists the League intervene
directly instead of merely con-
tinuing the Cancellation procedure
which Italy requests.
This according to the Ethiopian
view, merely would postpone def
mite League action until the end
of August, thereby giving Italy
time to augment her forces in
Eritrea and Italian Somaliland,
bordering Ethiopia, while awaiting
end of the rainy season and a
propitious time to attack.

GIFT
"Ciqar Box" Present
Just a Friendly Act,
He Says
International News Service

The Senate lobby committee to-
day solved the mystery of the
"cigar box" about which it's mem
bers earlier quizzed John w. Car
penter, president of the Texas
Power and Light Company.
Carpenter told the committee
that his son, John R., gave Repre-
sentative Patton CD Of Texas, a
box of cigars. Further clearing
up earlier questions, Carpenter
said that several days before the
House voted on the pending utility
bill, Representative Patton left his
(Carpenter'SG room with a pack
age, wrapped in newspapers. This
package, said Carpenter, contained
books on livestock for his son.
Memory "Refreshed"I
When Carpenter first appeared
before the committee investiga-
ting lobby activities against the
utility bill, he could not remen1-
Der handing any package to any
one. The committee quizzed him
vigorously, but always got the
same reply. His answer was:
81 don't recall giving any one
any bOx-if / did, and I may
have, it was cigars"
Today, he explained:
IT talked to my son, John,
jr., over the telephone yester-
day afternoon. He had read the
papers, and he said that he
gave Representative Patton a
box Of cigars. He said that he
wanted to do this, that Repre-
sentative Patton had asked him
to go fishing, and that he had
given him the box of cigars"
Carpenter appeared today I'M
der instructions to refresh" his
memory of activities here in
Washington. Apparently, his sue
cess in doing this was only par
tial. He was unable, in several
instances today, to recall his ex-
act movements and actions yes
terday.
Expenditures Reviewed
Carpenter reviewed in some de-
tail the $4,000 which he said
earlier was spent by his company
fighting the utility bill.
OF this total, $16,S42.82 was
dedicated to an educational cam
paign," said Carpenter. This, he
added, included expenses for ad-
vertising, newspaper and radio,
and for collecting, reprinting and
mailing out certain newspaper
clippings, editorials, etc.
The witness reaffirmed his test
mony of yesterday that radio ex-
penses totaled only 1892.
BlantOn TeStifieS
Representative Tom Blanton
Cd, of Texas, voluntarily testi-
fled before the lobby committee
today to offset the inference that
ne had been asked by Carpenter
to vote against the utility hold
ing bill.

Local Entries Out to Push

Points Tomorrow.

Horace Mann and Froebel Of
Gary, and Kokomo. defending cham
pion, were favored over a field Of
81 teams today to win the thirty
second annual Indiana high school
track and field meet here tomorrow.
Horace Mann is conceded the best
chance, despite the fact that it will
be represented by only seven ath-
letes. It's strength is centered IN
the track events where competition
is not expected to be as close as in
the field events.
F'roebel of Gary will depend upon
its success in the field events. 1t
won the Kokomo Relays and the
Northern Indiana Conference meet
by collecting most of its points in
that division
Kokomo will have a team Of 16
athletes in the competition and
should place enough competitors to
finish among the leaders. Froe5el
has only seven athletes qualified for
the finals.
Keene Strong Contender
indianapolis schools, Tech, Short
ridge, Washington and Manual, are
conceded excellent chances Of plac-
ing several entrants among the
leaders in the various events.
Franklin Brown of Tech, who bet
tered the local sectional mark for
the mile last week, is expected to
push the topnotcherS in the distance
runs. Keene; Washington dash ace,
who usually comes out of CONT
mental meets with high point hon
ors, is considered a strong contend
er in the 100 and 220-yard con-
tests. Weddle is the other strong
West Side entrant.
Cardinals Seek HOnOrs
Snortridge has Jack Brown as a
shotput hope, and banks on Roland
Fraser as a consistent half-mile
star. Manual has high hopes for
Jolliff, the lone Redskin representa-
tive.
A total of % athletes will carry
the colors of the four local schools,
Tech swelling the list with pair
of four-man relay teams.
Among contenderS from nearby
towns are Banta and Hickman of
Sou. hport, and Pope of Plainfield.
Banta usually enjoys a strong edge
in the pole vault competition.
Time trials will start at 10 to-
morrow on the Butler field, and the
