UNIVERSITY TO DISCON
TINUE LIGHTING
LOVERS’ CAVE
BLOOMINGTON Ind., July 16
(TP) —Heads of Indiana University
looked over their increasing electric
light bulb bills today—then decided
not to light the campus lovers’ lane
anymore.
Much of Indiana’s campus is dense
ly wooded and many are the paths
where cupid is busy on these summer
evenings. School authorities thought
it would be very nice if the walks
were lighted. They installed dozens
of bulbs.
Each morning, however, grounds
keepers found the lights broken. It
soon developed that the cost of light
ing the cupid’s nooks was more than
the budget could stand.
“Keep ’em dark.” the grounds super
intendent ordered today. “The kids
are just knocking the lights out with
rocks whenever they want to do a
little spooning.’’
STATEWIDE DRIVE
FOR PASSAGE OF
SOCIAL SECURITY
ATLANTA, July 16 (Special to The
Daily Times)—A state-wide drive for
the passage of laws enabling Georgia
to take part in the federal social
security program will be launched
here tonight by Walter C. Carraway,
chairman of the social security com
mittee of the Atlanta Federation of
Trades.
Carraway said a state-wide organiza
tion had already been formed to force
the inclusion of a referendum on
social security legislation in the Sep
tember primary.
Under the plan if the people show
enough interest in the matter, county
ordinaries will be forced to include
the question of ratification of a con
stitutional amendment to the people
n the November general election, and
a two-year wait for action by the
legislature will not be necessary, ac
cording to the labor leader.

LEWIS
1 (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1)
Lewis, when informed that the
-howdown betwen his group and the
parent body had been put off again,
merely smiled. He said later that he
would issue a statement regarding
his reaction today.
Most inform'd observers believe
that the New Deal had much to do
with the federation’s decision to put
off final action in the C. I. O. case.
The administration h fightng hard to
I prevent an outright split between
I Lewis and his labor rival, A. F. of L.
President William Green. Only a
i short time before the federation’s ex-
I ecutive committee handed out its trial
1 date announcement, several adminis
tration chiefs including Assistant La
bor Secretary McGrady, called on
both Lewis and Green. They are be
lieved to have urged the two rivals
to strive again to reach a peaceful
solution of the craft union versus in
dustrial union dispute.
FOREIGNPOWERS
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1)
24.000 tons of over-age destroyers in
service, by following the 5-5-3 ratio
of the London treaty.
John Bull’s naval treaty step did
not take the United States or Japan
by surprise. The British, for months,
have plainly indicated that they are
going to keep all the destroyer
strength possible on the high seas.
The question now is whether Uncle
Sam will meet the British step by
ordering 40,000 tons of destroyers,
scheduled for the scrap-heap, kept in
service. Japan is almost sure to take
advantage of her three-fifths treaty
rights and with a big navy crowd in
the administration’s good graces at
Washington, it appeared hardly pos
sible to naval experts today that the
United States would fail to meet the
British tonnage boost.
FARNSWORTH
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1)
information regarding the naval
strength of their rivals.
Although both Thompson and
Farnsworth have been linked with
Japan there has been no official
change in diplomatic relations with
that country. In fact, U. S. Naval of
ficers today are conferring with
Japanese officials about the forth
coming visit of a Japanese naval
training squadron to eastern waters.
Two Japanese cruisers are leaving the
west coast soon for Baltimore and
New York. The vessels are carry
ing young Japanese midshipmen on a
tour of United States coastal waters.

his name. They said he was an Eng
lishman. The revolver was said to
be a five-chambered weapon loaded
with four bullets.
King Unperturbed
King Edward appeared undisturbed
by the attack. He helped quiet the
panicy crowd and then rode on to
Buckingham Palace. Outside the gates
he acknoweldged the salute of his
guardsmen, wheeled his horse and
rode in. •
It was the first time in the life
of the former Prince of Wales that
a finger had been raised against him
in violence. It was the first time
since the reign of Queen Victoria that
an assassn had menaced the life of
a member of the British royal family.
King George IV and Edward the VII
were attacked by assassins, but both
of the attempts - were made before
the Kings reached the throne.
The attack on Queen Victoria was
made when she rode through Hyde
Park with her new husband, the Ger
man Prince Consort. The sniper
missed and next day the Queen rode
once again, unprotected, through the
Park with her German husband
Again she was fired on and again
the shot went wild. From that day
until today, no man’s hand had been
raised in attempted assassination
against the British ruler.
There was universay astonishment
at the attempt to kill King Edward
VIII. Perhaps no British monaren
LEMKE FAILS IN
COURT ACTION
TAKES UP POLITICS AGAIN
AFTER TEMPORARY
ABSENCE
FARGO, N. D., July 16 (TP).—
Congressman William Lemke turned
back to politics today after failing to
win a court victory for his Frazier-
Lemke farm moratorium act.
The Union party presidential can
' didate personally represented 10
' North Dakota farmers who asked re
lief under the farm mortgage meas
ure. Lemke is one of the co-authors
of the act held unconstitutional by
the Eighth Federal Circuit Court of
Appeals.
The North Dakota congressman
pleaded that the legislation asks for
nothing more than is permitted in
regular bankruptcy proceedings. The
court, however, dismissed the 10
cases on the basis of the decision by
the court of appeals. It gave permis
sion. however .that the cares could be
brought up again if the U. 8. Su
preme court finds the Frazier-Lemke
act constitutional under its amended
form.
EX-PALSTESTIFY
AGAINST PFEIFFER
LAST DEFENDANT IN AB
DUCTION OF WILLIAM
HAMM
ST. PAUL, Minn., July 16 (TP).—
Federal authorities called two con
fessed kidnapers today to testify
aganist the only remaining defen
dant in the William Hamm, Jr., ab
duction trial.
The defendant is a former St. Paul
night club operator, John Pfeiffer.
The witnesses against him are, By
ron Bolton and Edmund Bartholmey.
Bolton was one of the first men seiz
ed to confess complicity in the SIOO,-
000 kidnap. Bartholmey pleaded
guilty yesterday. Bartholmey was
postmaster at Bensenville, 111., and
Hamm was imprisoned at his home
while the ransom was paid.
The prosecution claims that Pfeif
fer was the “finger man” in the gang
led by Alvin Karpis, and received
SIO,OOO of the ransom.
Then cadets were present when the
United States Military academy was
opened at West Point, July 4, 1802.

has ever been so popular at home and
abroad as the slender Prince of Wales
who mounted to the throne this year
with the death of his father, George
V. Edward has traveled around the
world alone. He has walked down
New York’s Fifth Avenue, Berlin's
Un ter Der Linden Paris’ Champs
Elysees and a thousands streets of
the world—utterly unprotected.
American Eyewitness
An American who saw the attempt
made on the life of King Edward told
Transradio Press that the King was
completely unmoved by the incident.
The witness was a pipe organ player
from Grand Rapids, Michigan, C.
Harold Einecke.
Einecke was standing at the top of
Constitution Hill where the would-be
assassin was seized. Einecke described
the succeeding tumult as follows!
"The King was riding slowly as he
approached the arch on Constitution
Hill. I noticed he was looking stead
ily towards the left. I think from his
rigid position in the saddle that he
had a hunch something was coming
off and was watching for it. Certain
ly his horse seemed to sense some
thing was wrong for he acted nervous
with his ears twitching. Just as the
King passed there was a scuffle. A
man rushed out of the crowd. Police
men piled on top of him. Through
it all the King seemed completely un
shaken."

Learner, arrives tomorrow on the first
