Economic conversations with five | eountries kept thn State Department | busy today. i Diplomatic repment-uves of Portu- | @), Uruguay, Switzerland, Mexico and Greece followed each other on the de- partment’s appointment list to partici- pate in the exchanges of views prelimi- nlry to the World Economic Conference June 12. sl.mlfn talks were held with four | ether countries yesterday. i In Touch With Davis. President Roosevelt devoted almost all of yesterday to the European situa- tion, and he is being kept in constant ! uzfmh with developments there through Narman H. Davis, chief of the Ameri- can disarmament delegation. The attitude of the administration is that hopes for success of the World | Economic and Monetary Conference at London, opening June 12, are necessarily | intertwined with successful achieve- | ments at Geneva. M¢. Roosevelt and his aides have bent their full efforts in the current interna- | tional conversations with visiting diplo-w mats toward paving the way for suc- | oess at London, and they are hopeful | that the disarmament problem can be | surmounted. Personnel Declared Selected. It was reported in competent quar- ters that Mr. Roosevelt has selected five prominent members of the Democratic party to serve on the American delega~ tion to the London parley. ‘They were named as James M. Cox, presidential candidate in 1920; Newton D. Baker, wartime Secretary of War; Bernard M. Baruch, a close associate of: the President; Secretary Hull and | Chairman Pittman of the Senate For- | eign Relations Committee. i ‘This selection was said to be tenta- | tive and it was not disclosed whether Cqgx, Baker and Baruch have given promises to serve.

Disagrees With Administra- tion Program Only on Bonus Issue. BY GRACE HENDRICK EUSTIS. Senator Frederick Van Nuys will go down in the annals of Hoosier Demo- cratic history as the man who defeated Jim Watson, veteran legislator of 40 years' experience. The campaign was a fierce one and | {the young Democrat carried the fight {right to Senator Watson's door, accus- ing him of never giving the plain man the breaks. He won with a plurality of 208,000 votes, putting the cap on a complete Democratic landslide. Indiana is a temperamental State | politically and when it switches, it/ does 30 in a big way. Between 1920 and 1 1928, it was Republican to 2 man. In| 11928 it started to become Democratic | and now there is a Democratic Senator, a Democratic Governor, a Democratic House Delegation, a Democratic Gen- eral Assembly, Democratic court offl- cials in two-thirds of the 92 countries and Democratic municipal government in the big cities, Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, Terre Haute, Gary, Evansville, I= | South Bend, Munsey and Marion. A Young Lochinvar. Senator Van Nuys is one of a group ot young Lochinvars who have come up in the last decade to perform this transformation. He is a man not over 50; the Governor, Paul McNutt, is under 50, and so are most of the pres- ent office holders. They have replaced the famous old-timers, Vice President Tom Marshall, Senator John Kern, Ben Chively and the Democratic State chairman, Earl Peters. The Senator is an extremely agree- able man with plenty of oratorical abil- ity. What is unusual is that he is modest and seems to have retained a the silver tongues. His interest started years ago, when he was running for | prosecuting attorney in Madison. He didn't have any money so he made al house-to-house campaign on his feet and achieved such a pull with the/ housewives that he was elected by 400 votes, the only Democrat to win in his | county. After that he became State Senator and was floor leader for lhe’ Democrats at the same time his present | colleague in the Senate, Arthur Robin- son, was floor leader for the Repub- licans. Next he became county chair- man for the Democratic State Commit- tee until he moved to Indianapolis and took up the law. In President Wilson's administration he was appointed United States district attorney and when President Harding was elected, he went into law partner- | ship with Sam Ralston, who remnmzd\ his partner until his death. In the meantime Mr. Van Nuys was | always in demand because of his ability to make blistering speeches and when- WooDWARD & LoTHROP 0™ ™F anND G STREETS MEN—Be Comfortable Washington Temperature from May 15 to June | averages 66°—in June, averages 72° We Offer a Limited Quantity ard of Managers to Stage Pro- gram at Methodist Home for Aged. ~ The forty-third anniversary tea and ring shower will be held by the rd of Managers at the Methodist | e for the Aged, Connecticut ave- e and Ellicott street, from 3 to p.m. tomorrow.
