complicated free.for simmered down to Q two-sided afHair which split the party as wide as the Sin- clair-McAdoo feud divided the dem- ocrats.
 Opposing the organized drive for Landon are old guard members the state central committee and young CT republicans alike who insist the California delegation should be un- pledged, free to vote for the best available candidate at the conven- ton.
 Hoover Support Shown
 The uninstructed group, organ ized along the lines advocated by former President Herbert Hoover, has the support of many infiuen- tial republicans who backed Mir. Hoover fou r years ago. It also has the approval of the republi- can assembly, & statewide organ ization C. young of younger party members, and is headed by Earl Warren, chairman of the state cen- tral committee.
 Landon workers refer to the un- instructed slate aS the Hoover Warren" ticket, while Warren's crowd call the oppositio mas the Hearst -Merriarn-Landon" faction.
 Gov. Frank P. Merriam withdrew in favor of the Kansan after the state central committee had de- clined to name him as the favorite son head of the "ofilcial" party dele- gation. Although taking no active part in Landon's campaign, he rec leased his own supporters who plac. ed the Merriam machine at the dis- posal of the Landon organization.
 BOrah Not In Contest
 Sen. William E. Borah's decision to stay out of the California fight halted an anticipated triangular contest which would have widened the party rift.
 The distinct issues at stake and the party divisions serve to heighten general interest and the vote is eX. pccted to be tho biggest ever cast in a California Presidential pri. mary.
 This primary Is held solely for the purpose of designating ofiicial delegations to represent the state at the party conventions. and-if instructed-to tell the delegates how to vote. Congressional and state legislature primary contests will be decided Aug. 25. The next guber- material election will be in 1888.

Democrats have three choices, President Roosevelt, Upton Sinclair and Rep. John Steven McGroarty. Republicans have to choose between Gov. Ali M. Landon of Kansas and an uninstructed delegation headed by Earl Warren, chairman of the state central committee.
 The primary will determine which delegations will represent Califor- mia at the national conventions next month.
 Two Roosevelt Tickets
 Although three groups of dele- gates appeared on the democratic ballot, two of them were regard ed as Roosevelt tickets. Sinclair, au- thor and former socialist who or- Ranized the EPIC movement two years ago, said that if his dele- gation won the primary, he would xr.ease its votes to Roosevelt after one complimentary ballot for him- self. The president, therefore, has little to worry about so far as 'California's democrats are concern cd, s'nce 6 victory for either the l4ASfAAoV VI SAAAStAA OAhbSo AASaAAo VI votes for Mir. Roosevelt at the con- vention. Observers expected the Mc0roarty ticket to run third.
 Result of the Roosevelt Sinclair contest, however, is expected to show the comparative strength of regular and EPIC democrats in California. Sinclair's main pur- pose in entering the race is to fur- ther the aims of his followers and attempt to carry the production for use" plan to the convention, with the idea of placing 1t in the party platform.
 Sponsor of Townsend Plan
 Mc0roarty, who introduced the Townsend pension plan in con- gress, relies upon Townsend fol- lowers for his support. It Is ad- naitted that if all Townsend dem- ocrats in California vote for him, ho would be an important factor in the primary fight.

 Beaudoin, employed as truck driver for a local concern is said by poli0c to have owned tho place for several years. He lives in a house few hundred feet away from the building in which the distillcry was found.

ing orchestra leaders and their men
Since the Saturday night last
winter when Benny first presented
his band as one of three units on a
Lets Dance" radio program, his
rise to fame has been rapid. Today,
this quiet, beSpectatcled young man
stands as one of the country's lead
ing opponents of Swing" music, and
his highly individualistic clarinet
clicks" are copied by clarinetists
everywhere.
The bands appeal, however, is not
confined to musicians alone. There
are scores of dancers in every Good
man audience who do not know one
note from the next, but who have
learned from Benny'S radio pro-
grams that he plays bouncing type
of rhythm that makes dancing
easy, even for beginners.
Featured in the local appearance
will be singers Helen Ward and Joe
Harris, and Benny's outstanding
drummer, Gene Krupa.

Schaeter is to conduct all four.
These programs have been a
regular post-season feature since
the orchestra's inception in 1881.
Attendance has increased gradually
until last year more than 5000
school children turned out for the
four afternoons. Each number of
the program has been studied I'M
der the supervision of the music
departments throughout the school
year.
The concerts are given in an at
tempt to make good music available
to children who otherwise would be
unable to hear it, and to train them
to appreciate the best in music.
Pay 5 Cents Admission
UP to the present, these programs
have been the only philanthropic
work of the orchestra. Children
pay cents each, and the players
consequently receive much less than
for the seasons regular perform
ances. Plans for the future depend
upon public financial support, but
it is hoped that a wider philan-
thropic program may be adopted.
When the programs were started,
it was felt that, since a choice had
to be made, it was more important
to train the musical appreciation of
children than adults. The need and
demand for good music in larger
public, however, was recognized, and
il is toward this goal that the Indi-
ana State Symphony Society and
the orchestra are working.
The program, identical for all per-
formances, is to be-:
