By United Press
KANSAS CITY, No.. April IA
DR.. A. E. Osterberg of the Mayo
Clinic today greeted the hay fever
season with word of cheer for you
folks who can't look at the country
side these spring days without
sneezing.
Hay fever can be cured" he said.
tits a tedious process, and in the
meantime you'd better stay away
from the hillside and rill and sleep
in air. conditioned rooms-but if you
have the patience you can be cured"
DR.. Osterberg is head of the De-
partment of Clinical Biochemistry in
the Mayo Hospital at Rochester,
MINI. He came here to attend the
convention of the American Chem
ical Society, because he wanted to
hear about new developments in
anaeSthetic - especially cyclo-pro-
pane, a synthetic gas which is an
improvement over ether because it
curtaiis bleeding from surgical
wounds.
100000 Are Allergic
But the noted doctor made con-
cession to the time of year and took
time out to discuss allergy and its
several manifestations, among them
hay fever.
Some 100000 persons in the
United States are allergic-that is,
they are sensitive to something or
other and can't stand to eat it, wear
it. smoke it or be in the same room
with it, depending on what the Spe-
cific allergen is.
There are any number of aller-
gems. Some individuals can't eat
parsley. 1t makes them double up
in a knot and manifest all the
symptoms of heart failure, poisoning
and asphyxiation.

The conference, to be held under

On the other hand, leaders in the

that Farmer-Labor party could
not be potent power at the polls.
The Socialist Party of Indiana is
to hold its state convention in In

The party, working along the line
that Farmer Labor organization
is a mirage of the future, is to
nominate a full state ticket and

City Medical Men Refuse to
Share Optimism of
Clinic Expert.

indianapolis physicians do not
share the optimistic view of DR.. A.
E. Osterberg, of the Mayo Clinic,
who went on record in Kansas City
today as saying hay fever can be
cured.
Since this is the hay fever center
of the world, and since many In
dianapolis doctors have been work
ing on hay fever cures for the last
decade, they decided to assume a
show me" attitude.
1T seems to me that the treat
ment DR.. Osterberg mentions is the
same that we have been using for
many years." one physician said
While injections of pollen solu-
lions in patients arms brings re-
lief in 80 per cent of the cases, we
have no figures as to how many
cures it effects. The same thing
applies to sleeping in air-condi-
toned rooms"
It's Gloomy Picture
And to make the picture still
gloomier, one doctor reported thai
he has been treating one hay fever
patient for six weeks. These early
birds" are sensitive to tree pollen
and maple trees have been distrib.
uting pollen since February, the doc
tor said.
The rose fever season, really
caused by grass, is to start the thirc
week in May, and ragweed sufferer.

Is and %.
Hay fever "cures" are an old story
one doctor added Everything from
steam baths to mercury and iror
have been tried.
City Holds Title
indianapolis has been classified as
the worlds worst hay fever city
There are few places where the
pollen count is higher, and none OF
them are near any large centers OF
population.
indianapolis doctor said that dur
ing the late summer there are from
$50 to 1900 grains of pollen per
cubic yard in the atmosphere over
the city. 1t takes only a fraction OF
that amount, they added to make
a sensitive patient sneeze.

DUCKS QUERIES
Governor, Back From South,
Refuses to Comment on
GreenIee Charges.
BY JAMES DOSS

Brisk and bronZed after two weeks
under a Florida sun, Gov. McNutt
returned to his Office today and
used his favorite phrase, mo COM
ment," to counter questions peril
nent to the Indiana political situa-
ton.
Asked if he had done any check
ing up on the situation since his re-
turn, the Governor said he was
well pleased" with what he had
found.
Gov. McNutt was told that Pleas
Greenlee, former McNutt patronage
secretary, has said openly he will re-
new his attacks against the state
administration and what he terms
'McHale ism" if any pressure is put
on Mr.. Greenlee's friends who are
state jobholders.
Gov. McNutt said he did not
know whether to anticipate any
further Greenlee oratorical attacks.
81 am not running Mr.. Greenlee's
campaign" he said.
Repeating that he hes made no
public statement concerning his
choice for his successor, Gov. Nc
Mutt said he would not indorse any
candidate before the convention.
Asked about the possibility of
several district chairmen losing
their posts when the Democratic
state committee is reorganized, Gov.
McNutt said there probably will
be a few in the course of events"
He intimated that the state adj
ministration would not attempt to
punish those who have been avowed
Greenlee supporters.
Gov. McNutt would not affirm or
deny recuTent reports that the
break between him and his former
patronage secretary is not real and
that convention time will find them
back together again.
He laughed heartily at reports
that he and Mr.. Greenlee have con-
ferred since they parted company,
notably during the special session of
the Legislature.

thinking up stories while I was

CHICAGO, April 14.-Fair
weather and bitter political
enmities within party ranks
drew a probable record num-
Der OF voters to Illinois pri-

ord vote of 100000 was pre-
dicted.
Twenty-Five men were reported

earlier alterations between sup
porterS of DR.. Herman N. Bundesen

Illinois delegation to the presiden-

summer.
Neither man can stand decisive
defeat in Illinois, politicians belieye.
Record Vote Expected
In Chicago Ludwig Ptzsznski, 30.

kidnapped by two men who bundled
him into a light sedan and sped
away under police fire. He was
seized while standing near the
Tenth precinct polls in the TWENTY
Second Ward. He communicated
with his wife later and said he was
unframed.
Police patrol cars were directed to
watch for a car bearing New Mexico
license plates whose occupants were
suspected of fraudulent voting.
Roosevelt is UnOppOsed
New Deal" Democrats cast COM
plimentary votes for President
Roosevelt, unoppoSed in the presi-
dental primary. Republicans made
an all-important choice between
the Idaho Senator and the Chicago
publisher.
Illinois 81 votes in the Republican
convention will be unpledged, al.
though the primary vote will be
considered advisory" Delegates

Complaining the comparison be-
tween Republican and Democratic
balloting, however, is a most bitter
quarrel between Democratic candi-
dates for Governor. The campaign
was the most vicious in years, and
aroused considerably more interest
and enthusiasm than the Repub-
lican race.
Senator Lewis Endorsed
Most prominent candidates for
the Republican nomination for

SPAIN'S PRESIDENT

Fascists Blamed; One Killed

By United Press
Z MADRID, April a. One man
was killed and several wounded in a
gun battle between Fascists and
Leftists shortly after a terrorist
bomb exploded alongside the stand
from which President Diego Mar
tinez Barrios. Premier Manuel
Azana and other notables were re-
viewing gala parade in celebra-
ton of the republics fifth anniver-
Sary.
A large force of police restored
order. The bomb aimed at the
presidential party exploded harm
lessly, without injuring any one or
doing damage. But the crowd near
by, fearing an assassination plot by
Fascists against the massed notables
of the new Left Wing government,
stormed away in panic.
Police believed Fascist terrorists
exploded the bomb to cause panic.

Enough of them were sprinkled
among the young Democrats-whose
night is really was-to dampen with
their elderly frowns and poker faces
the frequent attempts of the young
SterS to warm up the meeting.
Probably the only wooden Indian
still extant stands in front of one
of Baltimore's cigar StoreS-and you
could pick him out here and there
in the audience as the President
spoke. He was perSonified in the
solemn face of Henry l.. Mencken,
one of the literary critics of the
New Deal, who chewed his cigar
without flicker of expression all
evening.
Ritchie's Influence Felt
But the youngsters who initiated
this meeting behind the backs of
the old folks tried hard, and they
occasionally steamed the meeting
up to something resembling a cam
paign performance. 1t was very
evident that they must carry the
burden OF the coming campaign.
