4 ocratic presidential race in
1910, rolled into Washington early
today to find boom already launched
by his friends
Almost Immediately afterward, at
press conference. the former Gov
ernor of Indiana declared:
Il am not candidate for any pub
lie ofice. I am giving my time. at
tention. thought and energy to Ameri-
can Philippine relations"
This was his answer to a question,
Will you be candidate for the Demo-
cratic presidential nomination in
l940?"
There was, however a lack of final
ity about Mr.. McNutt's reply to the
question This was emphasized a mo-
ment later when it was suggested by
an interviewer that perhaps his
friends, who are staging big recep-
ton for HIM at the Mayflower Hotel
this afternoon, had put him out on
limb"
Defends His Friends.
My friends in Indiana have never
placed me out on limb" was the in
stant response of the prematurely-
gray. tanned and handsome high COM
missioner. He spoke quickly and with
a smile.
If his Indiana friends needed any
encouragement in their drive to place
MIR. McNutt in the running for the
Presidential nomination, they could
have had it in that answer.
Are you in favor of third term for
President Roosevelt?" was the next
political question asked.
That's question the President will
have to answer for himself" said Mr.
McNutt. Beyond that, he did not
commit himself
His own supporters have taken 1t
for granted that President Roosevelt
will not be a candidate to succeed him.

strike in the interests Of Mr.. McNutt

the country are gathered.

Mr.. McNutt revealed today his visit
to Washington would cover at least
three weeks. He is to appear before
the Appropriations Committees of the
House and Senate in connection with
recommendations for the office of

IN SAM met Staying
Two Men Identified as Robbers
and Ex-Convict All Carried
.32.Caliber Pistols.
Ey the Associated Press.


CHICAGO. Feb. 23.-Two men
identified as robbers and an ex-
convict were questioned today by de-
tectives searching for the slayer of
DR.. Max B. Sammet, German expa-
triate.
When arrested, all three carried .32-
csliber pistols, the type used in killing
DR.. Sammet.
Police Capt. John Siege expressed
the belief DR.. Sammet. 43 years old,
was slain in an automobile by robbers.
He admitted there was no evidence
the victim had been robbed.
Investigators still considered a
theory that Dr. Sammet was killed
because of anti-Nazi activities.
The police said they had been in
formed DR.. Harry M. Seldin, 1 dentist
of Peekskill, N. Y. and friend OF the
slain man, was the source Of some of
DR.. Sammet's income. DR.. Seldin
said he had sent Sammet money for
his schooling because the latter's
funds in Germany had been seques-
tered by the government, investi-
gators reported.

NAVY MANEUvERS
TOBE DEEP SECRET
Press Barred Fom All
Fighting Cratt-Cost of
New Fleet Given.
BACKGROUND

On January 2S, President Roose-
relt informed Congress that efforts
to guarantee 1rorld peace Uere be-
ing unpoductire and recon- n,ended
that America spend $500, 900 900 on
ndrdl building. During hearings
on authorization bill, suggestion was
made that fleets of equal strength
be maintained in both Pacific and
Atlantic. Others opposed program
as leading US into 1Cdr.
By the Associated Press.
The Navy surrounded with war
time secrecy today its forthcoming
fleet maneuvers in the Pacific, where
more than $4,000 men and officers
will test the fighting strength of $50
war craft.
Naval officials disclosed the secrecy
order while the House Naval Commit
tee heard Rear Admiral William G..
Du Bose. chief of naval construction.
testify it would cost $4,000 OO0, 900 to
provide separate fleet to defend the
Atlantic Coast.
The Navy's order barred newspaper
representatives from all the fighting
craft which will maneuver over the
Pacific from Alaska to Samoa and the
Panama Canal from the middle of
March to late April.
The decision, the Navy said, was
made by Secretary Swanson after con-
ferences with Admiral William J.
Leahy. chief of operations, and the
fleet commander in chief, Admiral
Claude C. Bloch.
Problem Highly Confidential.
The only explanation given was that
fleet problem No. 19, to be worked
out in six weeks of mock warfare,
was highly confidential
Officers said that only once before
have newspaper representatives been
barred in recent years. That was in
1886, when Admiral Joseph NJ Reeves
was the commander in chief.
Publicity this year, the Navy said
will be limited to interviews with Ad-
miral Bloch before and after the war
games.
Testifying before the House Com
mittee. Admiral Du Bose said an in
dependent Atlantic fleet would require
166 fighting ships costing about $2,-
SOC, ,O00, 900 and SO auxiliary vessels at
a cost of approximately $400, ,o00. 900.
Such fleet, he said. could be built
in about 10 years If the facilities at
both Navy and private shipyards we're
expanded sufficiently.
Brewster's Questions Answered.
Admiral Du Bose outlined the size
and cost of an Atlantic feet in re-
sponse to questions propounded days
ago by Representative Brewster, Re-
publican, of Maine.
The admiral said his figures had
been compiled after consultation with
Admiral Leahy about the number and
type of vessels such fleet would re-
quire.
Admiral Du Bose said the fighting
craft necessary for adequate defense

years ago, but more recently the in
crease has been at a phenomenal

100000 pounds OF winter legume seed
planted.
The State Department of Agricul-
ture is not sure whether the increas-
ed number of samples sent to the
State Seed Laboratory means an in
creased number Of planting seed, OF
whether it means that farmers are
more generally awaiting themselves OF
the facilities of Mississippi's Pure

tons are correct.
Whatever the cause" stated j. c
Holton, commissioner of Agriculture
"the effect is good We need moro
winter legumes to build up soil fer
tility, and we need the fullest appli
cation of the Pure Seed Law to pro-
tect the farmer.
Right now, while planting seeds
are being purchased in large guam

age of termination, the content OF

The Fords Tell Their Plans
0r 1885

IF WE KNEW anything better we could do for
i the country than make good motor cars, we
would do It.
By every one doing his best in the job he
thinks most useful, this country Is going to regain
its momentum. We have tried to do our best in
our job.
When business was suddenly halted in its recov.
cry more than q year ago, we determined that we
should keep going anyway, if not at full-volume
motor car production, then at getting ready for
greater motor car values that would help future
production.
EXPANDING FOR THE FUTURE
We began to build "a million dollars worth Of
new plants and equipment. We felt that if we
could NOT employ eli our men building motor cars,
we would employ a. many as we could building
better production facilities.
We were told, of course, that this was no time
for expansion, that wiser business policy would
be to ~hold everything"-which means, stop
everything. But no one ever got anywhere
standing still.
Besides, we are not defeatists. We do not believe
this country has its best days. We believe this
country is yet in the infancy Of its growth. We be-
lieve that every atom Of faith invested in our
Country and our People will be amply justified by
the future. We believe America Is just beginning.
Never yet have our People seen real Prosperity.
Never yet have we seen adequate Production.
But we shall zee iii That Is the assurance in
which we have built.
Business Is not just coming back. 1t will have
to be brought back. That IS now becoming we'll
understood in this country; for that reason 1889
will be Cooperative year. Manufacturers, sellers
and buyers will cooperate to bring back the busi-
ness that is waiting to Be brought back.
