Raleigh, Feb. 15-The various can
didates for the Democratic nominal
ton for governor have been strange
ly silent ever since the speech by
Clyde r. Hoey, of Shelby, more than
a week ago, with which he opened his
campaign. But this does not mean
that they have not been busy or that
they are not watching every move
made by the others. DR.. Ralph w.
Mcdonald has been dashing in and
out of Raleigh for the past week or
SO, reputedly working on his organi-
cation plans. Lieutenant Governor A.
Fl. Gram has also been here several
times this week, comforting with diff
ferent ones. Hoey has not been here
since his speech in Charlotte Feb
ruary 6, but his supporters have been
busy sounding out sentiment and try
ing to learn the effect of his speech

APPROVING CONTRACT

College Station, Raleigh Feb. IS
Machinery is being set up now for dis
tributing the unpaid balance Of AAA
crs, Dean I. o. Schaub, of State Col
lege, announced today.
The first step, he said, will be to
complete the job of going over and
approving all 1885 contracts, and iron
ing out technical errors wherever
they are found.
AS soon as the contracts have been
approved, the next step will be to de-
liver checks to the growers.
Contracts which are not in the pro-
per form, and which can be approx
cd without delay, will be cleared first,
the dean said and in all probability
the checks for the growers who sign
ed these contracts will be fOrthcom-
ing in the near future.
However, he said, it will probably
take some time to set the machinery
in operatior, and he could not give q
definite statement as to when the
contracts would be cleared, particu-
larly those contracts in which tech
nical Irregularities are found.
He also said he did not know the
amount of money still due North

cooperation in the crop control pro-

(By The Associated Press.)
Ethiopian diplomatic sources
expressed fear today of Italian in
tentions to bomb Adds Ababa in
revenge of asserted Fascist casual
ties along the northern front.
Their fears arose after persis-
tent aerial attacks in the last few
days, when Italian planes swoOp-
ed down on MakaIe, Dessye and
other concentration points of tho
defending forces.
Informed sources at Rome de-
clared the invaders were pushing
a northern front offensive in an
an apparent effort to soIidify the
lines of Marshal BadogIio's black
shirts between Addi abb, 25
miles west of MakaIe, to the con-
fluence of the Dalxkaze and Ueri

An Ethiopian official communi-
que reported that two mission
aries previously held for failing to
leave the war zone had been sent
to a concentration camp at Sodu,

AID FOR ROAD
JOB WITHHELD
City Rejected by State on
w. Westinghouse
Underpass.

Respectfully, the State Highway
Commission has been compelled to
tell the City of Indianapolis it is
unable to do anything about the
traffic condition that exists because
of the underpass beneath the Big
Four tracks near Roads So and 40.
Headed by Mayor Kern, delega-
ton of city officials appeared yes
terday before the commission and
asked what could be done about
the situation.
The city is in an unfortunate
position financially and is unable
to bear the expense of the project,
said to be necessary to solve the
problem. The probable cost as far
as the commission is concerned, is
$250,000, plus the expenditure of
approximately $4,000 for necessary
right-of -way. The city is unable
to pay that right-o f-way.
Not a project for the Works
Progress Administration, it has be-
come necessary according to James
D. Adams, commission chairman, to
reallocate the funds which might
have been used had the additional
right-of-way been available.
Chairman Adams and Commits
sioners John Wheeler and Evan
Stotsenberg agreed that the situa-
ton required attention Mr.. Adams
said the commission regards the
underpass as dangerous. The COM
missioners were supported by M. r.
Keefe, the commissions chief en-
gineer, and Fred Kellam, engineer
in charge of designing.
Counter Proposal Offered
Mayor Kern and members of the
delegation offered a counter pro-
poSal which would not involve q
Strengthening of the jog in Road 40,
but which would involve raising the
tracks four feet, and the changing
of two minor railroad structures.
Such a proposal, it was said, would
not Involve the purchase OF right
of-way.
The cost would be approximately
100000, according to Mr.. Adams.
The commission, he said, regards
its cost as prohibitive, and not as
an effective answer as repairing the
underpass.
Consequently, in view of its sur
vey, and ALLEGATION of possible
funds for completion of other prof.
ects, the commission feels it can
not do anything about the problem.
Regretting their inability to do
anything, commission members
pointed out that Federal funds at
their disposal can not be, used for
right-of in cities of more than
$500 population.

Continue Controversy

The board continued its contro-
versy with the indianapolis Water
Co. over the installation of new
mains on the far North Side until
records of previous board actions
can be checked.
The company has asked permis-
sion to lay a l6-inch feeder main
on E. 46th-st between Central-av
and the Monon Route tracks and a
24-inch main on Allisonville- from
the. FAN Greek pumping station TO
E. 42d-st.
Mr.. Steeg pointed out that there
is main on 46th-st and that the
new main would cost the city 1926
annually. He suggested that a pre-
vious board had reached a compro-
mise settlement on payment Of costs
on new MAINS

TWO BOYS HELD
IN AUTO THEFTS
High School Youths Are
Accused of Taking
16 Cars.

Two Cathedral High School
youths, whose taste in autos turned
out to be identical with the tastes
of some of the city's leading citi-
zens, are to explain in Municipal
Court this afternoon why they
borrowed the cars without per-
mission for joy rides.
Police who arrested the youths
yesterday, say they have stolen Is
cars in the last Is days and have
driven them aimlessly about the
streets until they ran out of gas,
when they abandoned them.
The youths are James Emerson,
Is, of 1874 E. 30th-st, and Maurice
Cunningham, 10, of 1927 N. Talbot
st. Among those whose cars were
taken are Arthur " Brown, 1921
Washington blvd; William Ray
Adams, of the Adams Roadscraper
Co., 1895 N. Meridian-st; Harriet
J. Plant, 5000 N Meridian-st; Mary
Koehler, 1925 N. Meridian-st, and
F.. R. Buck, 1912 N Meridian-st.
The theftS began Feb. II and con-
tinued until yesterday when Emer-
son was arrested. He implicated his
partner, police said. Detective
George Gilby was given credit for
solving the case when he found a
diary Of the number of cars stolen
and a ring of ignition keys in one
of the automobiles that had been
recovered. This lead to Emerson's
arrest, police said.
The youths were bound over to
the county grand jury today after
hearing in municipal court. Each
is under $1,000 bond.
