B l’,uusrsa PUTLLES } """ DETROIT CITIZENS Question Whether Sufficient | Strength Can Be Mustered to Upset Administration. By the Associated Press. IT, June 21.—Whether a modern city of 1,600,000 population | C€an muster sufficicnt, sentiment to up- | set its administration without waiting * for the regular election to roll around Was the question occupying the minds of Detroiters, tonight as they watched the progress f the movement to recall Mayor Charles Bowles. Mayor Bowles has served a little more than six months of his two-year term, but (that period has been filled with | versy in which the police depart- | ent, the council and the departments | of street railways and public works took | & prominent part. The mayor was not forced to stand the storm alone. ¥ Aligned with him were his commission- ers of police and public works. The former was discharged a month ago and the other, John Gillespie, now is directing the fight against the recall § movement. Petitions demanding the recall of Mayor Bowles appeared in the city May 21 during the latsst shake-up of the police department which cost Harold H. Emmons his commission- ership. Late Thursday petitions bear- ing the names of 111,270 voters were placed in the hands of the city clerk the first step towara bringing about a recall election. This total was 21,800 more than is required by law to bring | sbout an election. Immediately the city clerk started verifying the signa- tures whils leaders of the opposing fac- tions came out with charges and | countercharges. Commissioners Lend Support. Rallying around ti mayor is Gil- lespie and Prank H. Dohany of the street railway commission. Both men figure prominently in the list of charges against the mayor which appeared on the recall petitions. Mayor Bowles' recall is asked on the basis of 10 charges, none of which 1s l considered sufficient ground by his sup- | |8 porters. These 10 charges include as cusations that the mayor has tolerated | lawlessness by law enforcement agencies, that he delegated Frank Dohany (o control the street railways claim dtfl‘ partment when that person was finan- | cially interested, that he gave Glllesple‘ control of the public works programs ith power to deal with contract ho ad made him . (Gillespie) ‘wealthy,” that he gave Gillespie control of official garbage disposal “despite Gillespie’s long private monopoly of this business,” that he destroyed efficient public service by the dismissal of faith- ful employes, that he threatened the success of municipal ownership by at- tempting to boost street car fares and | by discharging Frank Couzens, son of Senator James Couzens, as street rail- ‘way commissioner. Accuse Political Enemies. Leaders of the Bowles faction have accused rolh,ml enemies of fomenting the recall spirit. In reply the recall leaders have insisted that they were “non-partisan, and that they were not subsi d by any of the mayor’s politi- cal opponents. Mayor Bowles came into office as the wvictor of a three-cornered politicai tle. In the primary he faced John C , then mayor, and John W. Smith former mayor. Lodge ran third and was eliminated. Then Bowles defeated Smith by a narrow margin of 8,000 wotes, a decision which Smith immedi- | ately contested by a recount and an attempt to enjoin the mayor from tak- ing office. Both attempts faileyl. Political gossips already have men- tioned Smith and Emmons as possible candidates against Bowles should the latter forced to go thiough a recall election. “ OTTO KAHN REPROVES BUSINESS PESSIMISTS | Prospects of Future Are as Great as Ever Before, Banker Asserts in Chicago.

(Continued From First Page.) i the first primary election of this year, { which took place in Illinois April 8. ! Since that time 10 other States have held their primary elections, and North | Dakota is to nominate its candidates |on Wednesday of this week. So far | the Republicans have had no bad breaks in the primaries. As a political fact, they were lucky when in Penn- sylvania Secretary James J. Davis of the Department of Labor defeated Senator Grundy for the senatorial nomination. The Grundy nomination, had it taken place, would have made the campaigning a little more difficult for the Republicans, with the Dem- ocrats aiming their attacks at the tariff, and Grundy as the high priest of high tariff duties. When Dwight W. Mor- row was nominated for-the Senate in New Jersey last Tuesday by an_over- whelming vote, the chances of Demo- cratic success in that State faded per- ceptibly. There are few persons now who do not believe that Mr. Morrow will be elected next November. Mr. Morrow’s nomination not only took the prohibition issue away from the Dem- ocrats in a State which is admittedly “wet” in sentiment, but it also put | before the voters next November a { man who has aroused wide enthusiasm |in that State because of his ability and his previous public service. No Contest in North Dakota. There is no senatorial contest in North Dakota this year. But thete has been considerable interest in the State over the candidacy of A. C. Townley for the Republican nomination for the House against Representative James H. Sinclair. Townley more than a dozen years ago was a dominant factor in North Dakota politics because of his organization of the Non-Partisan |League. Today he is running as a wet candidate for nomination to the House. Sinclair has the support of both Sen- ators Nye and Frazier, who have been in the State campaigning for Sinclair. July has primary elections scheduled in Montana, Texas and Oklahoma. All three States elect Senators as well as representatives this year, Down in Texas the row over the Democratic nomination for governor has overshad- owed the other contests in the primary campaign. Thomas B. Love, leader of the anti-Smith Democrats in 1928, is seeking the gubernatorial nomination along with 13 other candidates in his party. The regulars are seeking to do to Mr. Love what they did to Senator Simmons in the North Carolina pri- mary, and what they hope to do to Senator Heflin in Alabama when the November election rolls around. The nomination of Josi 'W. Bailey by the Democrats of North Carolina over Senator Simmons was purely and simply a punishment for the desertion of the Democratic National ticket in 1928 by the veteran Senator from the Tar Heel State. While the Repub- licans may make a hard fight, as some of them promise to do, to elect a Senator in North Carolina this year, it looks decidedly like a Bailey victory in November. Contest for Walsh’s Seat, Up in the Northwest, however, the Republicans are likely to make more of a contest for the Senate seat now held by Senator Thomas J. Walsh, de- spite the fact that Senator Walsh is recognized as one of the ablest members of the Senate. Senator Walsh has no opposition in the Democratic primary and will be re- nominated July 15. The Republicans, however, will be asked to vote for candidates for the senatorial nomin: tion. One is Judge Albert Galen of the State Supreme Court and the other is O. H. P. Shelley, former Republican national committeeman. Judge Galen is a wet. Mr. Shelley is running as a dry. The wet and dry angle of the Republican primary campaign is creat- ing no little interest. Senator Walsh is a dry and if Judge Galen should be nominated the prohibition issue will be carried into the general election. Democratic leaders are counting on picking up Senate seats now held by Republicans in West Virginia, where Senator Neely is seeking to stage a comeback; in Massachusetts, in Rhede Island, in Kentucky and in Oklahoma, where Senator Pine, Republican, is up for re-election. Oklahoma generally is considered a Democratic State, al- though it has gone Republican in presi- dential years now and then. The Democrats believe, too, they have a fighting chance in Colorado to elect a Democgatic Senator and they are hoping that Senator J. “Ham" Lewis will win over Mrs. McCormick. Despite the wet issue, however, Mrs. McCor- mick decidedly has the better of the race, in the opinion of most political observers, ,unless there should be an | uprising against her by the City Hall crowd in Chicago, which supported her in the primary. Such an uprising, however, does not appear logical. Insurgents Up for Renomination. Republican insurgents in the Senate who joined with the Democrats in their attacks on the Hoover administration at the present session of Congress ame up for renomination and re-election in some of the States. Senator McMas- ter of South Dakota, the first to stand the test of the primary, won over a “regular” Republican, but is likely to face a real fight against Gov. Bulow, the Democratic nominee. Senator Schall of Minnesota, another of the coalitionists, has weathered the pri- mary handlly. No one doubts that Senator Borah of Idaho and Senator Norris of Nebraska will be renominated, Borah is certain of re-election. Unexpectedly Senator Norris is to have opposition from a former Demo- tractic Senator, Gilbert H. Hitchcock, in the November elections, it now pears. Some of the Democratic lead: ers here were privately suggesting that it would be an excellent thing if the Democrats of Nebraska should indorse the Norris nomination and let it go at that. Mr. Hitchcock's announcement puts a different light on the situation, however. Hitchcock has been popular in his State. He is publisher of an im- portant daily newspaper. He served with distinction in_the Senate until he was defeated by Senator Howell, Re- publican. Some of the Democrats, how- ever, are inclined to believe that Sen- ator Norris is more of an asset to them, as a constamt critic of the Re- publican administration than another Democrat from Nebraska might be. He | supported the last Democratic nominee | for President and he has fought the present administration from the drop of the hat in this Congress. So popular has Senator Norris been in his State that his re-election had generally been EDISON and STEWART WARNER RADIO SETS Sold on Easy Terms Your Old Set in Trade There are none Better and Few as Good. GIBSON’S 917 G St. N.W. TARIFF ACT LOOMS |FRANCE THREATENS TARKF REPRISAS Strict Trade Reciprocity Is Held Only Guaranty of Normal Relations. By the Associated Pre: PARIS, June 21.—The French min- istry of commerce today made known in a formal press interview that normal relations between France and the United States can be guaranteed only by_strict trade reciprocity. Plerre Etienne Flandin, commerce secretary, announced that his depart- ment was making sweeping investiga- tion of the new United States tariff schedules and comparing them with France's own customs, and that upon the basis of this inquiry demands would be made to the United States for equi- | table adjustments. The official averred that in case the United States Tariff Commission and President Hoover should prove unable to satisfy the French demands, his country would have “to face the situa- tion.” The commerce minister said de- mands of an all-inclusive nature would be presented. “Two eventualities are to be considered,” M. Flandin declared. “The American authorities either will give us satisfaction or refuse. “If we obtain modification of certain tariffs we shall have no reason to change our relations with the great country which rendered us such emi- nent service during the war. “We_hope America’s sense of justice and traditional comprehension of busi- ness will bring it to a reasonable appre- clation of the situation.

The old one did not work very well. The present clause is more effec- tive, in that the commissioners have greater latitude at arriving at differ- ences in costs of production as a basis for adjusting rates. If a foreign coun- try believes that any of our tariffs are unduly high and prevent competitive shipment tnto the United States, it can gluenl its case to the reorganized ariff Commission, which, in coabora- tion with the President, has the power, if the complaint is justified, to Tectify the rates. “This new proposal for dealing with such cases by a semi-judicial body Is unique In the world's tariff procedure. No other nation has offered to us a similar opportunity to present our case where, as often has happened, we have believed its duties were unduly high and discriminatory against us. This plan should enable us to meet in a fair man- ner outstanding cases involving foreign interests.

It should be remembered also that four-fifths in value of our im- ports consist of goods which are either free of duty or unchanged or reduced in duties under the new law. “The United States will continue to buy from and sell to the nations of the world vast quantities of products. Our great and growing buying power, par- tially no doubt a result of the protective system under which we have grown up. enables our people to steadily expand their purchases from foreign countries.” JOFFRE IS PRESENT AT STATUE UNVEILING | Bent Marshal Contrasts With Erect Figure Depicting Appearance in Battle.

Mrs Pearson testified that Johnson entered the apartment house, pusned a revolver into her face and thr2atened to shoot. She called police, who ar- rested Johnson in an adjacent room. No gun was found on the man, but po- lice found a revolver outside of a win- dow which Mrs, Pearson identified as that Johnson had shown. Last Winter Johnson was aivested with former Policeman W. D.

The resolu- tions expressed fear that the “motion picture industry as now conducted con- stitutes a 1eal menace to the home and all the moral foundations upon which our country rests,” and emphasized the “fact that there is a well organized and well financed propaganda for the de- struction of the orthodox church of Jesus Christ,” being spread-by some periodicals. ~ Expressing the opinion that organized crime will be driven from the larger centers, the resolutions counselled “diligence lest these destroy- ers of the peace establish permanent bases of operations in our peaceful communities.” They indorsed all treaties and con ferences of whatever character between nations and groups looking to the sub- | stitution of law for war in settlement of | disputes.” BROOKHART IS INVITED TO LEGION CONVENTION Exception to “Drunken Revels” Charge of Senator.
