MAIN INDORSED BY VANDENBERG Republican Senator, How- ever, Opposes Candidates’ Views on Townsend Plan. By the Assoclated Press. Senator Vandenberg, Republican, of Michigan, opposes the Townsend old- age pension plan, but otherwise in- dorses Verner W. Main, & Townsend plan advocate, who is the Re- publicar. nom - inee in the third Michigan con- gressional dis- trict. Vandenberg, whose name often appears in lists of possible Republican presi- dential nominees, today pictured Main as a man opposed to what he called “trends” toward “com- “fascism” within the Vandenbers. munism” New Deal. Main is opposed by Howard W. Cavanagh, a Democrat, who attacks the Townsend program for paying $200-a-month pensions to all persons | over 60 as an ‘uneconomic” “threatening taxation equal to half the national income.” The election, a special one to fill a vacancy, b3 held tomorrow. Vandenberg, after explaining he had found it impossible to speak personally or in the special election campaign, said | in & statement: “My interest in the election of the Republican Representative from the third Michigan district is my interest in making all possible progress toward reseuing the country from the present pledge-breaking administration at ‘Washington with its rubber-stamp Congress. “The major Roosevelt policies jc:ardlze the American system and Tethrd stable and permanent recovery.

The Belgier’s hulk is lying in about 350 feet of water off Ile de Croix, an island a few miles south of here, in the Bay of Biscay, the Italians said.

MEXIGAN PEOPLE BACK CARDENAS President Dominates Polit- icai Situation as Gen. Calles Remains in Seclusion. By the Associated Press. MEXICO CITY, December 16— President Lazaro Cardenas, with the army under his control and organized labor and other important groups backing him, eppeared today to have dominated completely the agitated political situation created by the re- turn to Mexico of Gen. Plutarco Elias Calles. ‘While the President was receiving additional pledges of support from all sections of the country, Calles re- mained in his home here, surrounded by guards and apparently deserted by a majority of his former allies. Only a few personal friends went to call on the former “strong man” and President. An absolute absence of political activities at Calles’ headquarters fol- lowed charges made in the Senate that he was involved in seditious ma- neuvers, but informed sources said the former President had prepared a campaign which was forestalled by the — vigorous measures taken by Cardenas. Return Held Error. Emillo Portes Gil, President until | 1920, once a friend of Calles and now | head of the National Revolutionary (government) party, asserted Cnllaal “has committed the Zravest error of { his life in returning to Mexico, and above all in the company of Luis Mo- rones.” Morones, head of the regional Con- federation of Workers and Peasants, and one of the dominant figures dur- ing the years Calles was in power, went MOST POPULAR BOOKS FROM OUR OF THOUSANDS OF FINE BOOKS to Los Angeles early last week and flew back with Calles. He recently had been charged with responsibility for numerous alleged crimes during the Calles regime. A new military commander, Gen. Rafael Navarro, took charge of the Valley of Mexico zone in succession to Gen. Manuel Madina-Veytia, who was dismissed by Cardenas with Gen. Joaquin Amaro, superintendent of the National Military School. Amaro was succeeded by Gen. Rafael Chazaro, who immediately an- nounced several changes in the di- rectorate of the school, including the ousting of Col. Pedro Amaro, a brother of the former director. Other Shifts Predicted. Several other military shifts were predicted and action was expected against several state goverfiors known as “Callistas.” The Chamber of Depu- ties, following the example of the Senate, which expelled five of its members for allegedly conspiring with Calles, made known that 10 or more deputies would be removed from office. Private reports from Sinaloa, where Calles formerly resided, said military authorities seized a large quantity of arms as they were being unloaded by contrabandists at Altata, and that workers had asked Cardenas to remove Gov. Manuel Paez on the grounds that he is “an enemy of the actual gov- ernment and a sympathizer with Gen. Calles.” Elsewhere the country was quiet, with *he exception of isolated dem- onstrations against Calles. A rebellious movement which has A Real Treat in Mincemeat Ty Recipes Free Write Angosturs » 250 Park Ave., N.Y.C. STOCK been carried on in the Jalisco moun- tains for many months has been com- pletely crushed, military headquar- ters reported, and there have been no recurrences of sopradic rebel ac- tivities, which occassionally disturbed other states. Except for the charges made In the Senate, where no details were given, that Calles was involved in & seditious conspiracy, there were no developments to explain why the fact that Calles returned created such im- mediate political unrest.

Cummins, veteran Diesel motor engineer, predicted today no attomobile company will produce oil- burning passenger cars on a large séhle in 1936. He said, however, perfection of air eooling probably will permit construc- tien of oil-burning cars in the low price class within the next few years. ‘Until then, he said, cars of this type will cost “approximately $2,000.” &ast Summer, after Cummins drove #rom New York to Los Angeles at & cost slightly under $8 in his first Diesel passenger car, reports, later denied, said at least three motor car menufacturers (Ford, Chrysler and Auburn) were about to build such fmachines, two in the low-price field. “Those reports could not help but be wrong” Cummins said, “because the Diesel passenger car is still in the process of development, and therefore | Np mass production plant could put out such machine “Our company will build approxi- mately 50 passenger car type motors for test purposes during the first six mionths of 1936,” he said. “During the last half of the year, we will step up production to 200 or 300, putting them out for application in trucks, small boats, generators and the like.” e SIS Salamina Rockwell Kent The vemote and beautiful . world of North Greenland as only Rockwell Kent ean tell #t. 80 {lus- trations. 33.75 My Couniry and My People Lin Yutang The most important baok yet written about China.
