BY RAY TUCKER Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.—An end to southern domination and one man control of the house may result from the election of so many northern Democrats, Tuesday, and from the personalities of the men who seek to succeed Speaker John N. Garner as gavel-wielder. With a scramble for the speakership as the first business before the next house, the candidates will find that the shift of the power may upset advance plans. Though the south still retains great influence through the possession of veteran legislators in most chairmanships, its numerical superiority in the party has disappeared before Democratic gains in the north, middle west and far west. With an anticipated membership of 310 Democrats, 155 votes will decide the speakership contest. In that fight, the southern and border states will have about 120 votes, the northern and middle western territory will muster about forty and the west fifty. May Names Northerner A combination between the last two groups would enable them to elect a northern or western man to the second highest past in the nation. Possible deals may lead to such an alliance, especially as the last northern Democratic Speaker was N. P. Banks of Waltham, Mass., in 1857-1858. The speakership battle will see the north presenting Representative John J. O’Connor, a wet, Tammany man from New York City, as one candidate, despite the fact he is a candidate. Paratively young member. His friends expect President-Elect Roosevelt to help him, for O’Connor’s brother, Basil, once was Roosevelt’s law partner. A more powerful northern aspirant is majority leader Henry T. Rainey (111.). A possible compromise candidate is the Kansas veteran, William A. Ayres. South Has Four Candidates The south has four candidates, and this may weaken its strength. The outstanding man is believed to be Representative Joe Byers of Tennessee, chairman of the appropriations committee. Alabama has two candidates, John McDuffie and William B. Bankhead, eloquent orator and father of the actress, Tallulah. Representative John Rankin, fiery Mississippi, also is in the race. No matter who is chosen, the reign of “czars” will be ended. In the first place, the Democrats will be so numerous that it may prove cumbersome for one man to try to guide them. Secondly, the record of the last session, especially with respect to the defeat of the sales tax, revealed that a steering committee is needed to sound out sentiment in advance, and thereby prevent open revolution. CLANCY URGES POSTAL EMPLOYES TO ‘GIVE’ Postmaster Asks Federal Employees to Aid Community Fund. Appeal to all postal employees to give generously to the Indianapolis Community Fund during its campaign which will be opened Monday, was made today by Postmaster Leslie D. Clancy. “We have received a cut in salaries,” Clancy said, “but the cut has been insignificant compared with the general service. Owing to the fact our regularity of work has not been curtailed, with possible exception of post office substitutes, I hope we, as federal employees, will be able to exceed our past quotas. “The man who held his job during The worst depression the world ever has seen is in an enviable position. He will be fitted to keep right on building the minute recovery begins. U. S. FLOOD CONTROL APPROPRIATION SLICED River and Harbor Work Also to Bear Brunt of Ax, Is Report. Seripa-Uoicard Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.—River and harbor work and flood control probably will bear the brunt of economy in the new war department appropriations now being studied by the budget bureau. These two nonmilitary items that provide work, protect lives and property, and improve water commerce have been reduced drastically in tentative estimates that are expected to be retained in the budget as sent to congress. It was reported that the cuts in these nonmilitary activities had not been accompanied by similar drastic cuts in such war department expenditures as the $6,692,000 for citizens’ military training, and the $31,260,000 for the militia and national guard. This report was unconfirmed, however. GIRL KILLED IN CRASH Indianapolis Truck Strikes Auto Near Vincennes; Two Injured.

That Ooddard's end which reached its culmination NBA Service Writer W. M. Co. nearly a year later Hollywood, Nov. 12.— Past experience would indicate that Charlie Chaplin is a much better wooer than husband. This is the last of three stories on Charlie Chaplin's three love—Mildred Harris, Lita Grey and, now, Paulette Goddard. BY DAN THOMAS NEA Service Writer TTOLLYWOOD, Nov. 12.— Past experience would indicate that Charlie Chaplin is a much better wooer than husband. He is ardent in his wooing, but cools considerably after the marriage ceremony. Such, at least, was the experience of Lita Grey Chaplin, after her marriage in Mexico to the screen’s outstanding comedian. Lita was just 16 when Chaplin signed her as his leading lady in “The Gold Rush.” But, long before the picture was completed, she retired from her career before the cameras to become Mrs. Chaplin Number Two. Here is how Lita Grey, at the time of her separation from Chap lin, described their romance: “Our work in the picture brought us together every day. That was the start of a friendship which soon turned to love—at least on my part.” “I sometimes doubt now if Charlie ever really loved me. He was very considerate and kind, and it wasn’t long after the picture was started that I began to have a feeling which made me know I loved him. “I was scared at first, as any young girl might be at finding herself in love with Charlie Chaplin. But he was so attentive that I began to think he too might really care.” HOWEVER, Charlie’s attentiveness stopped soon after the wedding, according to the young wife. He became neglectful and SHORTRIDGE R. O. T. C. MAN GOES TO FORT Captain C. D. Parmelee Is Assigned to Third Field Artillery. Relieved from duty with the Shortridge high school’s R. O. T.

Below—His sons, Sidney and Charles Jr. adopted an attitude of “spend what Money you like, but don't expect too much of my time and attention.” Chaplin’s marriage to Lita Grey created one of the biggest stirs in Hollywood ever has known. For some reason, Charlie wanted the marriage kept a secret, so they went to Mexico to have the ceremony performed. However, that did no good. Hours before they arrived back in Hollywood, glaring headlines had spread the news. But, even after that, Charlie declined to discuss the marriage in any way. Home and studio-alike were closed to newspaper men. That went on for about two years, during which time two sons, Charlie Jr. and Sidney, were born to the famous couple. Then came the crash. According to statements given out at the time, Lita was entertaining some guests after a theater party. Just as the party reached its height, Charlie appeared and practically ordered the guests to leave the house. What kind of a dog is this? Who invented the vacuum tube for the vacuum tube? This is!

By Scripps-Howard Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.—It’s going to be a task keeping celebrities straight in Washington after March 4. The new house of representatives will have in its membership a Democratic James Farley, who is not the New York manager of Roosevelt’s campaign, but is a new Indiana congressman. The house membership also will have a Julius Klein, who is not to be confused with the assistant secretary of commerce, and a Will Rogers, who, though, he comes from Oklahoma and is a Democrat, is not the famous comedian of that name.

That was the beginning of the end—an end which reached its culmination in court nearly a year later. THERE was plenty of uneasiness around Hollywood as the time approached for the Chappins to air their marital troubles in court. Lita threatened to “tell all.” Just how much that was nobody ever learned, due to an amicable last minute settlement. During their separation, Charlie spent much of his time in New York. He returned to San Francisco a week before the trial for a conference with his attorneys. Then the settlement was made and the film colony breathed more easily. A scandal, no matter how minor, always is bad for the picture business as a whole. That voyage on the S. S. Matrimony was an expensive one for Chaplin. While no definite figures ever were made public, he was reported to have made a settlement of $650,000 on Lita. Chaplin and Lita recently have been engaged in litigation over her efforts to have her two sons play in the movies. Chaplin so far has been successful in blocking juvenile movie careers for the boys. With the exception of a reported romance in Europe about a year ago, the Lita Grey episode marked an end to Chaplin’s serious romances until he met Paulette Goddard last July. Hollywood now is wondering how long a third marriage would last. Charlie is well liked here and everyone is hoping for the best if he weds the platinum blond divorcee, as everyone here believes he.

Ohio St. GOLD STANDARD ODSOLEE, SAYS STUART HASE Change Rules and Prosperity Will Return, Famed Economist Asserts. “America’s economic machinery has been clogged by paper-largely by paper-bearing compound interest, and based on an obsolete gold standard. “Restoration of prosperity can be brought about by changing the rules of the ‘money game,’ and, unless this is done, we may be forced to change them.” With these assertions, Stuart Chase, engineer, accountant, economist and author, Friday night painted a word picture of the prosperous years from 1922-29, pointing out repeatedly that throughout this period the farmer never shared in the prosperity. He spoke at Caleb Mills hall on the Town Hall lecture program. “Problems of industrial production had been solved,” he declared. “We entered the economy of abundance, and then the money system cracked. Farmer Remained Unaided “The matter of distribution had not been solved on the financial side. The system jammed with credit paper and the habits of bankers proved stronger than the habits of engineers.” “Profits rose more than wages and we saved more than we spent. The farmer remained unaided, while huge sums were sent abroad to buy red pants for the armies of Peru. Wall Street gambling ran riot to collapse and purchasing power of the people was exhausted. “Prices fell from lack of demand for goods and only the fixed charges of interest, lease rent and taxes resisted. “It is this interest payment which hurts worse than the high taxes.” Suggests Higher Wages Advocating construction of a new economic formula with the present governmental equipment, Chase suggested the following factors: “Managed currency,” with the power to inflate and deflate unhampered by the ancient gold standard which he termed an “anachronism.” Higher wage levels with a national minimum wage of possibly $3,000 a year. Investment control to keep from overbuilding factories. Public works for taking up depression slack and public work to absorb labor displaced by machinery. Governmental financing of slum clearance, pest control and rural electrification. Unemployment insurance. Shorter working week, possibly thirty hours. Curbing of speculation in necessities. Chase declared that persons who must gamble should confine their activities to bridge, horse racing, poker, and other games of chance that have no vital economic bearing on the essentials of life—wheat and other foodstuffs. ‘MOB WON ELECTION,’ SPRINGER IS QUOTED Comes to Indianapolis to Pass Test and Become Lieutenant-Colonel. Raymond S. Springer, Connersville, defeated G. O. P. gubernatorial candidate, became a lieutenant colonel in the army reserve corps Friday. He had been a major. His rank was increased following passing of the physical test here. While in the city he was quoted as saying that Tuesday’s election was won by a “mob” and predicted that the Republicans will win next time. He also pointed to the fact that His total state vote was greater than either President Hoover’s or Senator Watson’s and he carried his home county, Fayette. Springer was the only Republican to get a majority there. NIGHT SCHOOL Business men give preference to those who are preparing for better positions.
