with six Ono less) new facets" of
that absurd old presidential insanity
story. You may recall that an un-
recognized advertising genius from
New Jersey confessed that he had
advised utilities to spread the word
that the President was not quite
bright.
A facet" primarily means "a
small face" which indicates that
Black has accumulated a half dozen
more of the same. presumably those
of utilities or Non-New Dealers.
Alertness of 'Firemen."
The alertness of Blacks firemen is
attested also by this story straight
from the inside:
Reports recently came to the

Blacks men answered the first
alarm, witnessed the movie, wrote q

Caution Is Advised.
Frankly the best-informed authori-
ties here do not expect Blacks con-
90 Ii.,a a. fhncn ana
other subrosa advance notices. Most
of the five-alarm political develop
ments in the past around here have
not required such advance press
agenting.
Also there is a strong movement
inside President Roosevelt's own
immediate official family designed
to take Senator Blacks matches
dwdy from him. Certain high pres
identidI counselors belicUe Blacks

be used by not being used. Their
threat is probably greater than
their actual pdlue.
These counselors probably will pre-
vail, more or less, in the end.
Campaign Concentration.
Postmaster General Farleyis right
hand political prognosticator, Emil
Hurja, Is understood to have prepared
an interesting confidential report on
the political situation. He is said tc
have advised Farley to concentrate ef-
forts and money in four States-Mas-
sachuSetts. New York, Ohio and Illi-
nois. He figures that if Mr.. Roose-
welt can win two of those four States
he cannot lose the election.
This theory writes of the rest of
the East as probably lost, but claims
the whole of the South and the bulk
of the West for Roosevelt.
EconOmizing on Army.
The extent to which the economy
fever has possessed Congress can be
discovered in House consideration of
the War Department appropriation
bill The House subcommittee worked
so hard on the bill that each member
congratulated his fellow members in
speeches on the floor Their diligent
toll in the public interest was begun
last December and the terrific, cease
less strain was over only q few days
ago.
The net result OF the strain ioas
curtailment of $4,000 in the
s375,000, 900 appropriation for mill
tGry activities. That Is about one
ninth OF per cent. At the same
time the happy but t0eary legis-
lators les it be known that they
are in tdUor of strictest economy.
That tells the story. Every one in
Washington is in favor of economy,
but not necessarily to the extent Of
cutting anything.

COLD WAvE|S
FORECAST HERE
Drop to as Low as 10 Above
Is Predicted by
Bureau.

A sharp cold wave that may take
temperatures down as low as 10
above zero tonight is predicted for
the weekend by the Weather Bu-
reau.
The temperature dropped five de-
grees between 7 and this morning,
and continued falling may create a
new ice hazard in the city's streets.
Some quirk of winds and clouds
saved Indianapolis last night from
a heavy snow that blanketed the
rest of the Middle West and was to
have put four or more inches of
snow here.
Instead, all the precipitation was
a drizzle early last night which
froze upon hitting snow and streets
and formed crust over the snow
and a hazardous sheet of ice over
the streets. In all but IL inch fell.
The storm has passed, however,
and fair weather is predicted for to-
night and tomorrow. Meanwhile,
the streets have been put into good
condition and barring a freeze to-
day there will be none but the or
binary traffic dangers.
Patrolman Albert Beck, AZ, of GIT
Fletcher-av, was treated at City
Hospital today for sprained arm
and wrist following a fall On the ice
last night as he alighted from an
automobile.

SnoWstorm Hits Nation
By Unitea Press

A swirling snowstorm swept over
the Midwest and whirled toward the
Atlantic seaboard today, grounding
airplanes and blocking many high
ways.
North Central states were blan-
keted with snow. Northwestern Iowa
reported the heaviest snowfall in a
decade. Wisconsin country roads
were impossible. Kansas and Mis-
souri, felt the effects of the storm
yesterday as it moved rapidly to-
ward the East.
Pushed by strong winds, the storm
struck Chicago last night and was
expected to leave six inches of snow
On the ground. All available WPA
and PWA workers were notified to
report for snow removal duty.
High waves dashed ice-packed
Lake Michigan harbors. At Ken
osha, Wis, the fishing tug Cheerio,
with a crew of four aboard, rode out
the gale outside the harbor when
ice chunks prevented landing.
Eight inches of snow fell at New
ark. O., the heaviest fall in that
section in many years.
A bitter cold wave was expected
to follow the storm across the coun-
try. Forecaster j. R. Lloyd in Chi
cage predicted zero temperatures by
tomorrow morning.

and prepared to meet another on
slaught by critics when the state
Legislature resumes Monday.
A truce on political statements
regarding the reprieve of Bruno
Richard Hauptmann appeared to be
in effect until Monday, when At
torney General David T. Wilentz is
expected to make a direct attack on
the Governor. Mr. Wilentz so far
has confined his comment to belief
that the reprieve was illegal and
that Gov. Hoffman has no hint of
new evidence.
The Governor mail continued to
mount and contained the usual
number of crank letters, including
some that are threatening. Mr..
Hoffman, however, has taken no
notice of them and no police pre-
cautions.
At the Governors Office it was
said that definite decision had not
yet been made as to whether Gov.
Hoffman would ask Federal agents
to resur their investigation. 1t
was ur fstood that the Governor
might < Federal intervention if he
disco IS direct information which
would require their services.
Gov. Hoffman did not visit his
Office today.

George V
Rudyard Kipling May Be
Buried in Westminster

johnson, Kiplings chief surgeon,
this morning.
Kipling's body lay before the altar
of the hospital chapel, between the
choir stalls.
Friends believed that his ashes
might be honored with burial in
Westminster Abbey in belated Off
cial recognition of his position as
voice of an empire, whose cadences
marched around the world to the
rhythm of the feet of his immortal
British Tommy.
Kipling died at 1910 a. m. today.
His widow, the former Caroline
Starr Baleister of Vermont, held his
hand. Beside her was their oaugh-
ter, Mrs. Elsie cambridge.
The body lay all night on the
death bed, with bouquet of flowers
en- a nearby table. Mrs. Kipling and
Mrs. cambridge. weeping and ex-
hausted after an almost unbroken
"a hours of prayer at his bedside,
slept ftfully in nearby rooms.
Death Came Suddenly
Though Kipling was conceded to
have almost no chance of recovery
his death came suddenly and was
not expected. His condition had
been stationary for several hours.
Continuous administrations of oxy-
gen and carbon .dioxide had been
given him, and he slept restfully at
intervals.
HE put up a hard fight" said
DR.. Webb johnson, who operated on
him Monday for a perforated gas
trio ulcer. "He was conscious al
most until the moment of death.
His spirit was excellent throughout.
Suddenly his heart-in fact his
whole body-seemed to collapse"
He died in 10 minutes. DR.. Webb
Johnson had barely time to call Mrs.
Kipling and Mrs. cambridge, who
had left the room for a few min
utes. Kipling did not speak. but he
seemed to recognize them.
Sons Death Great Shock
Kipling was 70. He had lived in
seclusion at his little estate near
Burwash for many years. He was
shocked beyond real recovery by the
death of his only son, who died in
the World War fighting at the front
with the Irish Guards. Kipling's last
work of Importance was his 1.-THE
Irish Guards in the World War;" a
memorial to his son, which he edited
in two volumes in 1928.
His distinctions were many. They
included the Nobel prize for liter
allure in 1907. But he was denied the
greatest honor that may be paid a

reate. 1t was always said that he
was passed over because of his ref

County Refuses to

DEMANDS OPEN HEARING
Local Committee Is Also
Fired; Charles Daley
Given Duties.
BY JOE COLLIER

AL G.. Feeney today awaited
notice that the State Milk
Control Board has dismissed
him as milk administrator for
the Indianapolis shed upon re-
quest of the local milk COM
mittee.
Mr.. Feeney refused late yesterday
to resign when asked to do so by
Lieut.. Gov. M. Clifford Townsend,
member of the board, and de-
manded that formal charges be
placed against him and that they
be prosecuted at a public hearing.
Mr.. Townsend would give no other
reason for the state boards action
in dismissing Mr.. Feeney than that
there had been a lack of cooper
alton between Mr.. Feeney and the
state board.
Mr.. Townsend today said that he
does not believe that Mr. Feeney
is entitled to a public hearing. He
pointed out that Mr.. Feeney is an
empioye of the milk board and is
subject to summary dismissal.
He explained that the state board
followed the wishes of the local milk
committee of whose 10 members
eight asked Mr.. Feeney's dismissal.
Following wishes of the local COM
mittee, he said, is an invariable
practice of the board.
Charles Daily Put in Charge
At the same time that the state
board voted, on request of the local
committee, to dismiss Mr.. Feeney, it
also voted to ask the resignation of
the local committee, Mr.. Townsend
announcing that until new local
committee can be elected and new
administrator selected, Charles
Daley, attorney for the state board,
will act as administrator.
Mr.. Townsend said the resignation
of the committee was asked be-
