Times Stan Writer

WASHINGTON, April g.
Ambassador Claude G.. Bow
ers was reported today to be
considering a return from
Spain in order to become the
Democratic nominee for Gov
ernor of Indiana.
Previously it had been predicted
that he would be given a Cabinet
post in time to become one of the
big oratorical guns in the Roose-
welt campaign. But the Hoosier
Democracy is in a plight because of
three-way preconvention split
over the gubernatorial nomination,
and Mr.. Bowers has been sug-
gested as natural dark horse.
1t Is contended that all factions
could agree on his nomination and
that his ability on the stump would
make Indiana, now listed as doubt
full, safe for the Democrats.
According to the report here the
plan has been cabled to Mr. Bowers
and is under consideration by him.
Mr.. Bowers is as famed for his
partisan speechmaking as for his
books on Jeffersonian Democracy.
He keynoted the Houston conven-
ton in 1928.

OF Senator William E. Borah took
the position today that defeat of all
Borah-pledged national convention
candidates IN the New York state
primary was of small consequence
IN the Senator's campaign for Re-
publican presidential nomination.
Yes, 1 read about it in the pa
pers," Mr.. Borah said today when
told of the final returns of yester-
days New York polling. ct was no
surprise to me. 1 didn't know any,
thing about the situation there and
l didn't expect to win"
The New York primary gave the
states Democratic National Con-
vention delegation to President
Roosevelt although Alfred E. Smith
easily won a convention seat. Smith
has promised to take walk" if
the convention Endorses the Roose-
velt Administration.
Borah said he did not consider
the New York poll a real test of his
strength but would so construe re-
suits of the Wisconsin primary
April Z, and that in Illinois one
week later. All II Borah-pledged
delegates in New York were de-
feated yesterday. Uninstructed dis
trict delegates were uniformly sue
ceSsful.

Lutz May Aid Pension
Quiz, Halted Temporarily
Public. Hearings Are to Be
Suspended for at Least
Ten Days.
By United Press

~ UHtted Press
WASHINGTON, April 3.-House
investigators of old-age pension
schemes today took up new and
reputedly "hot" trails into the f.
nancial background of the Town
send movement. Public hearings
were suspended for at least 10 days
to permit a search for new evil
dence.
Chairman G. Jasper Bell Cd,
Mo- made the suspension an
nouncement unexpectedly after a
closed session of the group.
The action followed disclosure
that DR.. F. E. Townsend collected
approximately $l7O0 from followers
in his Old-Age Revolving Pensions,
Ltd, for third party during
mass meeting in Los Angeles, Cal,
last Feb. 20.
Robert E. Clements, former OARP
secretary treasurer, testified he
urged the doctor to put the money
as well as that of all other mass
meetings into the OARP but that he
refused to do it.
Sheridan DOWney, ToWnsends
counsel, said money was "impound-
ed' in California to defray expenses
OF the third party movement but
that the movement is now dead"
He said there was no official connec-
ton between OARP and the third
party mass meeting.
Other points brought out include:
That the Townsend Weekly, start
ed on "shoestring' investment of
$3.50 by Townsend and Clements.
was receiving revenues of from $500
to $500 weekly from circulation, and
that much advertising comes from
patent products aimed to reach the
aged.
That OARP is Incorporated under
a California law by Townsend, his
brother Walter, characterized as a
dummy and Clements that per-
mits division of assets among the
incorporatorS if it is dissolved.

one desperate lunge, Patrolman
Winnings nearly got the creature,
but Emma escaped and ran into the
street.
She ran in the path of a taxi and
the driver went into plain and fancy
skids to save the animals life. When
he had stopped his cab, he opened
the door and yelled at the patrol
men:
You'll have 10 get that damn
goat out of the street or it will get
run over"
Then he drove away

Stronger Local Option to Be
Goal of League, York
Says.
BY ARCH STEINEL

The Anti-Saloon League today en-
tered the 1886 campaign with
stronger local option laws as it's
goal, and will not work for either
state or national prohibition, L. E.
York, Indiana superintendent, said
1--WE favor law, to be passed by
the Indiana Legislature, which
would require signatures of ma ior-
1ty OF resident voters to legalize the
sale of liquor in community" he
said.
The existing law requires that a
petition for license to sell liquor
must have only 80 signatures at
tached.
In, both the primary and the
general elections compaignS, he said,
the league will poll candidates for
seats in national and state legis-
lative bodies on their reactions to
stronger local option laws and more
rigid Federal supervision.
States of candidates favorable to
the leagues legislative ambitions
then will be printed and distributed
to members and the voters in gen.
eral, he said.
1--WE will not seek to have the
Representatives or Senators pledged
to return of state prohibition.
State as we'll as national prohibition
is being left alone by our organiza-
tion," Mr.. York said.
Congressional candidates, he said,
also are to be queried on their views
toward strengthening the Federal
liquor laws.
Just as soon as the filing of dec
larations ends tomorrow night and
we receive list of the candidates
of both parties we will get in touch
with county organizations and the
individual candidates to determine
their stand on a local option law

GREENSBORO, N. c., April s.
Quickly modified relief forces to-
day cleared the debris from a res
idential and industrial area struck
last night by tornado, which took
IL lives here and raised to 40 the
toll of storm deaths over the South
The storm struck Cordele, Ca,
killing 1S persons before hitting
here.
Business men estimated property
damage at 100000. The storm
crushed buildings in a four-block
Swath across the entire southern
edge of Greensboro.
IS Others Treated
With II dead here, IS others were
receiving treatment in hospitals.
The dead and injured were taken
from the 1000 dwellings damaged.
There were Sc buildings demolished,
including Is stores and mercantile
establishments, 80 dwellings, and
nine factory and industrial plants.
The Blue Bell overall plant was so
badly damaged that its 140O en-
ployeS did not report to work today.
Only an unused warehouse of the
Ell Moro Cigar Co. was destroyed
and the plant operated as usual to-
day.
National Guardsmen were on duty
about the stricken area, as 300 WPA
and CCC employees labored to clear
away the debris.
Seven persons were killed by
other twisters, two at Washing
ton, Ca; one at Sasser, Ca; one at
Dawson, Ca; one at Dalton, Ca;
one at Hampton, s. c., and one at
Apalachicola, Fla.
Two Schools Wrecked
Damage at Cordele passed 81 ,O00,-
600, principally because the towns
two schools were wrecked.
Only a few residents of small
frame houses on the city's western
outskirts saw the tornado approach.
1t struck the southwestern corner of
the city first, smashed q block of
small homes, skipped into the air
for half a block, and then roared
with almost unbelievable havoc
across the entire city.
Most residences of the district
were of inexpensive types, many of
them occupied by Negroes. Their
f1imSy frames collapsed like card
board.
Mrs. John w. Sparrow and her 10
year-old daughter Edna were pinned
in one dwelling under a collapsed
roof beam. A gas main beneath the
house broke and the leaking gas
caught fire. 1t ignited the debris
despite the rain. Mrs. Sparrow's
screams of agony from a crushed
pelvis attracted the attention of
neighbors. A dozen men removed
the pinioned woman but she was
critically burned before being pulled
free. Her daughter was bruised.
One Man Electrocuted
Electric power was turned off all
over the city Immediately after the
storm. but one unidentified man
was killed before that by broken
live wire. Darkness impeded res
cue work and increased panic.
Gov. j. C.. B. Ehringhaus ordered
1876 men and II officers of the
Greensboro National Guard unit
modified as soon as he learned of
the disaster. Negro students of
A. and T. College organized rescue
squads and worked all night to
guide injured persons to emergency
field hospitals.
