BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE, | HICAGO, February 14.— Fisti- | cuffs at Washington between President Hoover and the Sen- ate are a pink tea affair com- pared to the wild and woolly fight now raging in the Chicago mayor- alty primary campaign. “Big Bill"| ‘Thompsan, battling for political life and another term in the City Hall, is in the throes of a knockdown and drag- out for the Republican nomination with Judge John H. Lyle, foe of gang- | sters and gunmen. Lyle has made the issue & cleln-{ cut contest between continued gang | domination of America’s second largest | city and decent municipal government. By inference hardly distinguishable from downright assertion, the judge is holding “Big Bll” up to public scorn as_the principal prop of gunman rule Every time Lyle takes the platform. he surrounds himself with an exhibit | of machine guns, -ned-on shotguns, “pineapple” bombs and “belly” pistols | seized from gangsters, and tells the | meeting these are the symbols of | Thompson’s power and the source of his !!rln[lehold on_Chicago's city ad- ministration. “Big Bill" retorts by call- ing Lyle a “lunatic,” upenlnl his parentage, and dubbing him “four- flusher.” The Sky's the Limit. Accustomed as Chicago is to rough | and tumble municipal campaigns, the | oldest inhabitant can hardly remember any of them that matched the Thomp- son-Lyle imbroglio in invective and vi- tuperation. The sky is the limit. No- body knows which one of the candidates began it. Be that as it may, the war of words is on, and how. “That flabby-jowled counterfeit, our mayor,” thunders Lyle, “can’t intimi- date me. I deal with crooks every day. He likes to refer to himself as & cow- boy. As a matter of fact, the closest | he ever came to being a cow hand was to perform the duties of a chambermaid in a ranch bunk house ‘Wyoming."” Then the learned judge flings this one at King George's arch foe: “But it isn't so important whether he was real gow hand or just a bunk house flunkey. The important question is, how did it happen that he went out West where few questions are - asked nnnm about their past? ympson sent pald__emissaries duvm to my birthplace in Indiana amd to my buynood home in Tennesses, 5| fy o dig up some boyish wrong of mine, if they could find one.

Let him tell us that.” Thompson Sues Lyle, The day after Judge Lyle hurled this bunch of posies at Thompson, “Big Blll‘ flled a sult against him for 00 damages. The accusations of Lyl: tnclud!d the suggestion that the mayor had misappr ted funds col- lected by him for relief of Mississippi flood victims. “Lyle has attacked my integrity,” roared ,Thompson at his noonday meeting. ““No man, no matter who he is, can do that and get away with it. He defied me to sue. I have Lyle overdraws his pay and he is broke.” ‘The judge's rejoinder to this sally was that Thompson is a chronic . filer of Iibel suits against Chicagoans who dare to utter the truth about him, * looked up the records.” said Lyle, during his term of office Thompson has | $3,800,000 lected a cent.” ‘Thompson, & born .showman, puts on a daily circus parade dul:ned to huv" lamages, and never col- ‘The parade consists of an elephant from the 200, proudly emblazoned “Big Bill” in honor of the mayor himself. elephant is followed by decrepit jackass labeled “The Judge”.

The indis- putable records show that people are safer on our streets than th!y are in_any large mg you can name.” ‘The es “Big Bill" cites appear for ‘Thom to show that 67 cities in the United | 52 States have worse per capita crime records than Chicago. “Eventually all America must accord our ci says pson, “its earned esteem as a leader in industry, ance, culture and ideals, with mflLx small smudge of crime upon fts shining shield.” Book Tells Killings. Pred Pasley, Chicago newspaperman, who is winning literally goiden laurels | with his best-seller book, “Al Capone— Self-made American,” seems to take issue with Thompson's Chicago crime statistics. According to Pasley, Chi- cago has had 500 gangster killings since 1923, without a solitary convic- tion or execution. How deeply 1s the great metropolis by the lake throbbing with civic virtue at this witching hour? 1Is a ground swell of nmrm shaping up?

The commonest ex- tation is that “Big Bill” will win nomination. His election is considered more prob- lemsatical.

Still a little more, and the water becomes hard. With a water quality, the right proportions of all the chemicals used in treatment may readily be ascertained. But with a water supply of changing quality, the problem is quite difficult. These problems, however, are being met.

Enactment of the $20,000,000 drought loan compromise in the Interior De- partment appropriation bill, signed late yesterday by the President, was hailed last night by Representative Louis C. Cramton of Michigan, supporter of President Hoover in the fight over drought relief, as “the key to the dead- lock” in Congress. Speaking m the National Radio Forum, arranged by The Washington d broadcast over a coast-to- coast network of the Columbia Broad- casting System, Mr. Cramton said he hoped the agreement had paved the way “to rapid disposition of the im- portant legislation now before Con- gress.” Station WMAL broadcast the speech here. Hopes for Other Legisiation. “It 18 to be hoped,” he said further, “that the jam being broken, early en- actment of the other important supply bills will speedily follow, and that other important ]efllllflofl may also receive consideration.” . Two weeks from next Wednesday, Mr. Cramton pointed out, this session of Congress comes to an end, and up to last night only one of the nine ap- propriation bills had been enacted. “If & special session is to be avoided,” he declared, “eight other regular bills and one deficiency bill, nine bills carrying a total of about $4,000,000,000, must be enacted into law in less than 15 legislative days. In the same few days the calendars of the House and Senate e congested with a motley multitude nl m.her bills, genm] and local, public rivate, important and trifling, de- nrl je and undesirable—all crowding for legislative action and many backed by the insistent efforts of determined supporters.

Statements were issued yesterday by Chairman Hawley of the House Ways and Means Committee and Chairman Smoot of the Senate Finance Commit- tee, warning the Congress that an in- crease in taxes or a big Government bond issue would be made necessary if the bonus bill was put through in its present form. Attention has been called by Secretary Mellon to the fact that, even without the bonus bill. the country faces the prospect of a $500,- 000,000 deficit in the Treasury at the close of the fiscal year, June 30. But while Hawley and Smoot were attacking the bonus proposal and the | Mellon - letter was being interpreted as & threat on the part of the President to veto the bill if it came to him, the great majority of the House mem- bers were 'Krep.rlnc to put the bill through with & rush.

Frear is one of the progressive Republicans from Wisconsin. He proposed to in- crease the surtaxes by 1 per cent on incomes up to $100,000. Between $100,- and $200,000 the surtax rate would be 21 per cent and would reach 25 per cent on incomes of $500,000. Other Bills Pending. The Interior Department appropria- tion bill, carrying the drought relief ccmpromise, is the second of the usual appropriation bills to be sent to the President. The first was a deficlency bill. Four other lpprovmtton bills are in the conference stage, the Treasury and Post Office bill, the A!flc\llwl’o bill, the War Department bill, the State, Justice, Commerce and Labor bill, and the independent offices bill. It is ex- pected that agreements will be reached on these measures promptly, although some cf them may not be given their , | final touches until after action is had on bonus legislation. ‘The Senate late yesterday Jm through the legislative appropriation bill and sent it to conference, too, and is expected to take up the District of Columbia bill Monday. The House has passed the Navy bill, which is in Sen- ate committee, and there remains for the House only one Iprupflltlm bill to_pass, the second deficiency bill. The compromise agreement on the re- lief fund, although reached a week ago, was debated in the Senate for six days. ‘When the showdown came the opposi- tion had dwindled until only 15 votes were cast against it and six Senators were “paired” in opposition, making the in | total recorded opposition 21 Senators. First Proposed Gift. ‘The $20,000,000 relief fund, to be used only in the drought, storm and hail stricken areas and to be loaned for the purposes of “rehabilitation,” in- cluding the purchase of food if neces- sary, is a substitute for the Senate amendment providing $25,000,000 to be| o uud to purehnn necessities of life for| unrmgoyed in the cities as well as th drcught-stricken on the farms. The 425,000,000 was a gift, not a loan. It was strongly opposed by President Hoover. ‘The comprom! provides in effect what the particularly the Robinson and Caraway, the first instance, & loan to the people of the drought area which could be e Shigtnal proposa] calied for 315 o or $15,- 000,000. The compromise provides $20,- 000,000. Many of the Democrats in- sist that they have won a victory in the compromise, although Senator Glass of Virginia and a few others character- ized it as a “surrender,” in view of the ultimatum issued by the Democratic conference of the Senate two weeks ago. In the end, only six Democrats voted inst the compromise, and one was paired against it. Democratic Senators who opposed the compromise, to which agreement had been made by Senator Robinson of Arkansas, Democratic leader, said last night that it was not their intention to start a revolt against the leadershi) of the Arkansas Sena ise agreement, however, Senate, and Senators, ip tor and to attempt ‘'to displace him as leader in the next Congress, despite rumors to the effect that such a move was on. “Lame Duck” Issue Up. 'rh- Hepubumn lndenmn of the has promised to permit the so- callod “lame duck” wnmtuuonu amend- ment to come up later this week. This is ihe measure which has been spon- sored for years by Senator George W, Norris of Nebraska, Republican pi sive, and which has five times adopted by the Senate. The House has before it, however, a resolution of its own, Representative Gifford of Massachusetts, which differs no essential from the Norris resolution. Hovever if the House leadership really to speed the proposal, it could h:ve lneed to bring up the Norru resolution instead of that of Mr. Gifford. For if the House sends to the Senate the Gifford resolution, it will be in ef- fect a measure which has to go through all the parliamentary stages until it shall have been passed. Senator Norris said last night that he would urge the Senate to accept the Gifford resolution, wishing to speed the amendment to the C('m!fitutlnn dulng away with “lame duck” sessions of Con- gress. He made it clnr, hnwever that he resented the effort of the Republi- can leadership of the Hmue w e all credit for the amendment” from him- self.

GANDHI OPENS WAY 10 PEAGE IN INDIA LEGGE T0 RETIRE WITHIN SHORT TIME, =z Asks Viceroy Lord Irwin to Will Re-enter Harvester Com- Confer on Settlement of Long Dispute. By the Assoctated Press. ALLAHABAD, India, Pebruary 14— Peace in India tonight seemed meas- urably nearer than at any time since the ptesent civil disobedience move- ment began nearly a year ago. Mahatma Gandhi, the Indian Na- tionalist leader, made a dramatic gesture today, when it seemed that India would be torn with strife, agita- tion and economic decline indefinitely, by announcing that he had written a letter to the viceroy, Lord Irwin, asking for an opportunity of talking the ‘whole situation over in a spirit of candor and friendship. Extremists Are Surprised. ‘The gesture brought the apparen aimless sessions o(u{he conzr”‘ '.ly Working Committee, which had heen discussing the situation brought about by Premier Ramsay MacDonald's peace proposals, to a close lnd took extrem- ist members of the All saw in it, M‘RVQY a chance for ultimate settlement and also a means of their avoiding a return to prison which only yesterday they confessed | was inevitable if the MacDonald pro- posals were rejected- and the ht against the government continued. It was expected here that Lord Irwin would invite Gandhi to New Delhi on Manday or Tuesday, and that the ensu- ing conference might prove the prelude to & permanent peace. Asked by the correspondent after to- day’s conference what the conditions for peace would be in his conversation wu.h the viceroy, Gandhl reduced them all from his previous elaborate 11 points to one simple demand. Wants Salt Rights. That was: “Restoration of conditions as they existed prior to the civil dis-|mens Fl\u the right of to make their own salt, dis- courage the sale of foreign clgth and block the sale of liquors and narcotics.” one comprehensive phrase, the mflnlmn added, would save the neces- sity of going into elaborate details. Although the Working Committee of the Congress at its final session today ordered the civil disobedience movement in | continued unabated, it was regarded as certain that Gandhi would officially call off the campaign, if, as appeared erly. the viceroy would release politi prisoners serving terms for non-vwlunt offenses. Such an agreement by the two men, it was generally felt here, would leave the path to peace open and clear, for compromises and agreements could be made respecting other points in dispute.

By the Associated Press. MADRID, February 14—The year- old cabinet of Premier Berenguer have ing resigned today, forced to this action by country-wide opposition to its elec- toral program, King Alfonso set about the difficult task of forming another ministry. He met with a serfous obstacle, how- ever, when the powerful Constitutional party announced that it would not par- ticipate in any government that did not include all political factions. The King had at first planned a “concen- tration” ministry of royalist leaders. Thus, unless Alfonso agrees to & “national” cabinet embracing Republi~ cans, Socialists and other groups, he apparently faces a Sty oo i oot perhaps some conservatives. This Would Leave Some Miffed.
