Apparently unconcerned over a
test of Townsend Old Age Pension
political strength and intra-party
fights, Indiana voters throughout the
state turned out slowly today for the
primaries.
Only in counties presenting Wig
orous contests was the balloting
heavy.
Federal agents observed the vot-

6olph Alderman and NJ Edward
Doran are working for the control
of the county Democratic organiza-
ton.
Fair and warm weather, ideal for
working in the fields, held the rural
vote to a minimum, however. One
exception was Kosciusko County
where recent heavy rains have made
the fields unavoidable. There the
early vote was reported almost four
to-one Republican, in keeping with
past performances.

the G. o. p. nomination
Decatur County reported a light
vote, with contests only in the con-

WASHINGTON, May 5.-Whether
Senator Frederick VanNuys OF
Gov. McNutt came out on top in
the WPA investigation in Indiana
will not be known until after the
election today.
A hour and one-half conference
between the senior Senator and
Col. Lawrence Westbrook, assistant
to WPA Director Harry L. Hopkins,
late yesterday brought this deci-
sion.
Senator VanNuys explained that
the investigation, launched by his
charges of political coercion was
progressing satisfactorily" but that
the complete Hopkins report would
mot be made" until later this week
He praised the telegram Mr.
Hopkins sent Wayne Coy, Indiana
WPA director, advising of the rule
to permit WPA workers to exercise
their political rights freely.
Il think Mr. Hopkins is sincere,
Senator VanNuys said.
The conference with Col. West
brook was merely a "pre-election
emergency matter" the Senator ex-
planned, citing the telegram as be
ing "a necessary precaution taken
to prevent coercion"

Responsibility.
PROTECTION PROMISED
HuIrS Inquiry Is Believed

By United Press
WASHINGTON, May s.
The United States has re-
minded Italy of her response
bility under the present cir
cumstances for protecting the
lives and property of foreign
residents in Ethiopia, it was
learned today.
In reply the Italian government
promised that "all possible meas
ures' would be taken to protect the
lives and property of foreigners in
the city of Adds Ababa according
to the rules of war" as soon as the
city was occupied by Italian troops.
The reminder to the Italian gov
eminent was sent to Rome yester-
day by Secretary of State Cordell
Hull at the height of anxiety here
for the safety of the American le-
cation in Adds Ababa.
Hull's inquiry was, so far as was
known here, the first official re-
minder given to italy by foreign
government that the Italian govern
ment has now definitely taken over
the responsibility and assumed the
liabilities for protecting the lives
and property of foreign residents in
Ethiopia.
Reminder Is Significant
The reminder was considered
significant in view of the many
questions on the diplomatic side of
the situation which must be re-
viewed in the light of Italys con-
quest of a heretofore sovereign
country.
Enmeshed in these delicate diplo-
matte matters probably will be the
question of the future status of
diplomatic representation in Eth
opia. The present minister, Cor
nelius Van H. Engert was, and still
is, officially credited to the govern
ment of Emperor Halle Selassie who
Is now fugitive from the country
without having abdicated his throne.
While State department officials
were guarded in any comment on
this phase of the situation it was
admitted that the American posi-
ton in the matter is one which will
require the most careful study.
