STADIUM, CLEVELAND, Nov. 19. (U.P.) A valiant Navy team went down to a 12-to-0 defeat before Notre Dame's powerful football machine here today in the sixth renewal of their colorful rivalry.

Before 70,000 fans the Ramblers pushed over their two touchdowns in the second quarter. The vaunted Notre Dame attack that twice pierced the Middies' goal was put on by a team of reserves with the exception of Sheeketskl, Lukats and Gorman. It was' Sheeketskl who scuttled the Navy. He scored the first counter after working his way through center for ten yards and came back a few minutes later to score again on a nine-yard pass from Lukats. Regulars Fail to Score.

The Notre Dame first team played throughout the second half but failed to score against an inspired Navy defense, although it battered its way down the field to within two yards of the goal. The huge crowd, shivering under a leaden sky and a Cold wind that swept in from Lake Erie, cheered mightily when the Midshipmen beat back the vicious attack of the Ramblers' first team. From the outset, it was evident that Navy was outclassed as the South Bend reserves consistently dented their line while Navy found itself unable to gain ground. Once in the first quarter Notre Dame drove from its own fifteen-yard line to the Navy's twenty-six, only to lose the ball on a fumble by Banas. Navy kicked and then the Rambler re- CONTINUED ON PAGE 12.

Calvin Coolidge, -when he was in the "White House, didn't neefl any adviser on that subject. One day on the Mayflower, with Gen. Pershing, Secretary Kellogg and one other aboard, some one brought up the late George Harvey's suggestion that the United States send a commission to England to talk about the debt.

Mr. Coolidge interrupted, "They hired the money, here, didn't they?" In New England, they believe that when anybody "hires" money, you don't need a professor to advise you to collect it if you can. Hitler, who represents the Fascist idea in Germany, was in consultation with President von Hindenburg yesterday concerning a new, government for Germany. How far will -the Fascist-dictator plan extend? Italy has Mussolini, most powerful; Turkey has Kemal Is Germany to be run by one-man will power, with the idea of self-government through a republic given up? Even in this country some "best minds" say "a dictator might not be bad for awhile." The "best minds" might change their minds if they had their Governor Roosevelt's "forgotten man" is mentioned in the Episcopalian book of prayer, as follows: "Remember in pity such as are this day destitute, homeless or forgotten of their fellow men." In his Thanksgiving proclamation, Governor Roosevelt, your next President, recommends that prayer to your attention. 1 Each religion likes its own prayers best, but that Episcopalian prayer, beginning, "Oh God, Almighty and Merciful," Is a good prayer.

Knowing as we do that not a sparrow falls unnoticed, and that each of our hairs is counted, it Is reasonable to assume that no man is forgotten above. Trotskl, who once helped Lenin to rule Russia, and was lord of the Russian army, is in Naples to visit Pompeii, the city dug out of the It is an appropriate visit. He himself is a sort of buried city, representing hopes, 1 plans, and beliefs that have been buried since the Stalin volcanic eruption began. Japan is not dull. When Japan tells the League of Nations officially about Manchuria, she will say: "We did tactfully, what the United States did more crudely In Panama under Theodore Roosevelt, and united the two oceans with a canal." This statement will remind distinguished Washington statesmen that it is dangerous to throw stones, if you live in a glass house.

It is fortunate that Roosevelt took the land he needed to dig that canal, fortunate that the canal exists, and that nations of the world, thanks to Uncle Sam's generosity, use it on the same terms as American ships use it. Senator Jones of the state of Washington was an ardent prohibitionist, Inventor of the "flve-and-ten" law that fined Volstead act violators $5,000 to $10,000 or put them in prison for five years. He was head of the Senate's important appropriations committee. Defeated in the political blizzard, he is dead, and nothing matters except what he DID. Such is political ambition.

Of all that now are so prominent, the young of this period will read one day: "He is dead." And that 999 out of 1,000 times will be all. Mr. Green, head of the federation of labor, says the working week must be cut, enough work for all, with a forty-eight-hour week, can not be found.

How many automobiles, radios, vacuum cleaners, sets of good books, comfortable houses, thousands of miles of good roads, hundreds of millions worth of modern agricultural machinery would be made if the people could have what they really want? The problem is not too many workmen, but covetousness in accumulating and hoarding money, with which workmen are paid, too much selfishness, inefficient distribution, too much ability concentrated on individual enrichment instead of on general welfare.

Everybody killed in a war would die pretty soon anyhow, and in many cases more painfully." Many think the same. Others would suggest that 200,000 years ago, when every successful human being was a cannibal relying on human meat to carry his family through the winter, the wise would have said: "The answer to the problem of over-population is cannibalism.

Lynchless South, Motto of Women Association Will Conduct Campaign to Prevent Mob Rule in 1933.

ATLANTA, Nov. 19. Mi-Women representing twelve Southern states met here today and started a campaign they hope will bring the South through 1933 without a lynching. They met as delegates to the annual convention of the Central Council of the Association of Southern Women for the prevention of lynching and adopted this motto: "A lynchless South in 1933." Only six lynchings have occurred In the United States thus far this year and only four of these were in the South. reparations, but so far as the debtor-creditor relationships in Europe are concerned, the war debts and reparation obligations are part and parcel of the whole fabric.

In total there are twenty-eight countries involved. Five are debtors only, ten are creditors only, and thirteen are on both sides of the international ledger. Germany, the primary debtor, has eleven creditors; the United States, the chief creditor, has sixteen debtors; Great Britian, a heavy debtor, has also seventeen debtors who owe her; France a debtor, is creditor to ten countries. Thus despite the lack of any legal connection between the debts due the United States, and reparation payments, war debts and reparations are looked upon as one problem on the continent. Our debtors have considered themselves intermediaries for the transfer of reparations to the United States in payment of war debts, consequently the reparations moratorium has tentatively CONTINUED ON PAGE FIVE.

I If vv INDIANA, ST Victory Enables Kizermen to Remain Unbeaten One Tie Robs Hoosiers of Cochampionship. BY YV. BLAINE FATTON. Sports Editor, The Star. LAFAYETTE, Nov.

Boilermakers of Purdue university wound up their 1932 gridiron campaign with full steam ahead and electrified a chilled crowd of fifteen thousand spectators here this somber November afternoon by trampling over their ancient foes from the river Jordan, 25 to 7. and gaining posses sion of the old oaken bucket for another year. The triumph enabled Coach Noble Kizer's eleven to close the season with a record unmarred by defeat, but a tie with Northwestern prevents the Hoosiers from sharing the Big Ten title with Michigan. It was a brilliant victory which tha Old Gold and Black gained over Indiana today and it was achieved by spectacular passes and sparkling end runs, which were clicked off with uncanny precision. Mods Scores on Passes, Paul Moss, a leading candidate for ail-American end honors, snared the leather hurled from the accurate hand Duane Purvis with marvelous ability and on two different occasions raced more than half the distance of the field for touchdowns after receiving the passes.

The losers put up a stubborn fight in face of a superior team and actually outplayed the victors In the final quarter, when the Crimson players hung up five of their seven first downs, registered a well-earned touchdown and were within striking distance of the goal when the struggle ended. Purdue never was threatened during the first three quarters when it tallied its four touchdowns and richly deserved the long end of the margin. Its open game was splendid and the running attack netted 217 yards as against 105 for the invaders. In first downs earned without penalty the Boilermakers listed fifteen to seven. Punting Duel Is Waged, The game opened with Purdue receiving the kickoff.

Moss punted after a short gain, the ball hit a visiting player to put it on side, and was recovered by the Boilermaker! in Crimson territory. A pass was grounded and another punt was killed on I. one yard line. This forced the Bloomington collegians to boot from behind their own goal line. Failing to gain, Moss again punted out of bounds insids the ten-yard line.

Indiana was forced to kick and the Old Gold and Black fired two more passes which were fncompleted before punting out of bounds on the Crimson eight-yard line. Jones again punted from behind his own goal line, but the kick was partially blocked and it was Purdue's ball on the thirty-eight. A pass to Moss was completed for twelve yards ifhd a first down, after which Hecker circled end to place the leather within scoring position.

UTILITIES BILL TO Governor-Elect Plans Action if Public Service Commissioners Refuse to Resign Posts.

BY MAURICE EARLY. For the first time during the long years of legislative debate over the public service commission a bill to abolish it and create a new board may have the support of a Governor. This is what Governor-elect Paul V. McNutt plans should the members of the commission refuse to resign he takes office Jan. 9.

From the time he made his first declaration against the personnel of the commission there has been a question about the power of the Governor to replace its entire membership. Commissioners are appointed for specific terms. T' This situation again-was called to the attention of the Governor-elect during tha French Lick conferences and he confided that he believes the legislative route is open for him in order to make good on his campaign promise. Oppose Drastic Action. Pressure already is being brought on the Governor-elect to keep him from taking such drastic action as an outright repeal of the present utility law.

It is being pointed out to him that an entirely new statute will open the gates for all kinds of "crazy" utility ideas. Nevertheless it is the firm intention of the Governor-elect to weed out the present commissioners even if he has to resort to the ripper bill. In event of abolition legislation it is probable that McNutt will recommend the creation of a commission of less than five members, perhaps three. This is in accordance with the Democratic economy pledge to reduce the number CONTINUED ON PAGE THREE. BDHIHSTEIM SEES Says 9-Week Term Reduction, 28 Per Cent Pay Slash Not Necessary.

There Is no reason why the school year should be reduced nine weeks or why a 28 per cent cut should be made in the pay of teachers, Louis J. Borinstein, president of the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce, asserted yesterday. His statement followed announcement Friday that the board of school commissioners would be compelled to make the "reductions because of the reduction in its tax rate imposed by the Marion county board of tax adjustment. He also contradicted the statement of school board members that reduction of the tax rate from $1,087 to 92 cents, which was affirmed by the state board of tax commissioners, would result in a reduction of $870,000 in the school city's budget. Issues Statement.

"There is no reason why either the school year need be reduced nine weeks or the teachers have to take a total salary cut of 28 per cent, as statements from the school officials the last few days have intimated would be necessary. "As a matter of fact, this organization at no time advocated a reduction of the school year. An analysis of the actual figures, not guesswork, makes it perfectly plain there is no necessity whatever of reducing the school term a day. "While it appears that, as a result of the action of the county board of tax adjustment, which now has been approved Dy the state board of tax commissioners, the school city will be faced with the problem of absorbing a reduction of $605,000, the ac- CONTINUJED ON PAGE NUTT TO FAVDR FORM NEW BDARD WAYFDRSCHQDLS U.S.-CONVICTS 3 Removed to Jail After Attempts to Obtain Release on Bond Fail Jo Be Sentenced Tomorrow. Three dapper real estate salesmen, promoters of sales of lots in Morn-ingside addition, north of Indianapolis, yesterday were convicted by a Federal jury, of using the mails to defraud.

The jurors reached a verdict almost immediately after they had been closeted by a bailiff, and George R. Jeffrey, district and Judge Robert C. Baltzell were called back to the court room to hear the verdict. The men are William N. Dozier, Mel J.

O'Keefe and James Huteson, who operated in Indianapolis nearly five months, and who used the "lunch and lecture" method in making their sales to widows and others who were swept away by smooth, persuasive methods. Sentencing Tomorrow. The three were removed to Federal row in the Marion county, jail immediately after the trial, after defense attorneys had attempted to obtain their release temporarily on bond. They will be sentenced tomorrow morning. The verdict was on four of six counts brought into court by members of the district attorney's staff.

The sentences may be as high as five' years 'each on the counts, and fines may be as high as $1,000 on Thus a total of twenty years' Imprisonment and $4,000 fine for each of the trio is possible. In refusing to release the men on bond, Judge Baltzell said he "doubted the wisdom, of releasing them" since they had attempted to evade arrest and since the government had been forced to bring them from California to face the charges here. He also pointed out' that after their exposure here by the Better Business Bureau they ment to Buffalo, N. and began real estate operations on the same plan. Lunches Used as "Bait." Elaborate lunches on the site of the Morningside addition were provided as "bait" to the prospects, and pep talks and sentimental lectures were given the "guests" at these the government attorney painted out in their final pleas to the jury.

Dozier posed as a Rhodes scholar and presented a "creed" which brought prestige to the firm, the Indiana Estates Company, it was alleged. The contracts were mailed and letters also were sent that promoted faith in the investments, it was said. A number of Indianapolis women were employed for a time as solicitors to hunt out the "luncheon" guests who would be likely prospects. High pressure closing methods were exposed that included elaborate promises of quick resale of the lots purchased. Values were to rise fast, the purchasers were told, and fat profits were to be made by simple transfer of their property soon after its purchase.

Alex G. Cavlns, assistant district attorney, worked with Mr. Jeffrey on the case. Albert Ward, former district attorney, appeared for Dozier and O'Keefe, and Carlisle Miller represented Huteson, who was represented as financier of the operations.

MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 19. It was fourth down, four yards to go to the goal, with thirty-six seconds remaining in the first half today, when Harry Newman, Michigan quarterback, decided to stake his team's chances for an undisputed Big Ten title on his right foot. He booted a high place kick, It narrowly missed an upright, but soared safely over to provide the Margin of a 3-to-0 victory over Minnesota, giving the Wolverines the title and a claim on the mythical national football championship. Purdue, undefeated in the Western Conference, is forced into second place because of a tie with Northwestern earlier in the season.

Fumble Helps Wolverines. A Minnesota fumble shortly before had paved the way for Newman's op portunity to keep unblemished Mich igan's record of eight victories and no defeats or ties this season. The Gophers, fighting the desperate bat tle of underdogs, matched defensive energies In every period, led in the number of first downs, three to two, had the highest total of gains and almost stopped Michigan's dangerous passing attack centering about New man. For Jack Manders, big Gopher fullback playing his last college game, there was a touch of tragedy In the outcome, the final game of the season for the old rivals. He was, with Charles Bernard, Michigan center, an outstanding defense player, but it was his fumble near the end of the second period that turned the tide for Michigan before the 30,000 frost-bitten spectators.

Two Passes Completed. Manders caught a low pass from center with the tips of his fingers and as the ball slid out of his grasp, Bernard and Fred Pctoskey, Michigan end, recovered it on the Minnesota twenty-three-yard line.

After the chief executive had taken this special action to clear the way for foreign debt consideration early next week, a formal statement was issued that at the Cabinet meeting "reductions in appropriations for the fiscal year beginning July 1 were settled at about $700,000,000." "This will, however," the White House explained, "be offset by certain increases in uncontrollable items such as interest and amortization on the public debt and tax refunds to the extent of about $150,000,000.

"The administration Is determined to present a balanced budget."

Demand, Cancel or Delay War Debts? Is Question for Nation Prof. Starr Shows Tax Burden Closely Bound to International Problem Trade Effect Problematical. i BY ritOF. G. W.

STARR, Director of Bureau of Business Research, Indiana University School of Commerce and Finance. Fourteen years after the close of the war we still find ourselves wrestling with the war debt problem. Not only has the debt problem refused 'to stay settled, but there has been a growing tendency abroad to regard debt settlement as a part of the reparations problem. If the settlement of the debt is ultimately made contingent upon the payment of reparations, the United States as the chief creditor, will be the principal loser in any scaling down- operations which may be inaugurated. It was the United Slates who originally opposed the Idea of any Indemnities In the settlement of the claims after the war.

Although political expediency may govern in the ultimate settling of the claims, the debt problem from the point of view of the American citizen is not political, but economic, and In both political parties there are two schools of thought on the problem one claiming that It would be to the economic advantage of the country to cancel the debts, and the other that the debts should be paid in full. DePauw and Wabash Fail to Score In Thirty-Sixth Contest of Series Both Teams Hold When Danger Lurks DePauw Pass Over Goal in Last Second Fails 2,500 Out. The platforms of both the Demo cratic and the Republican parties are. against the cancellation of the debts and both presidential candidates prior to the election amplified the party platform provisions on debt cancellation. No Question on Validity of Debt.

Despite this official attitude on the debt problem, the allies have asked for an immediate reconsideration of the whole question and undoubtedly some concessions will be made by the United States, since there seems little disposition on the part of the debtors to make the forthcoming payments with any appreciable enthusiasm or promptness. There is no question on the validity of the debts, it is entirely one of what will be the best economic policy for the United States to adopt; to Insist upon payment In full, to allow postponement or to cancel in entirety. In so fat as the United States is Interested, there is no legal connection between the war debts and Special to The Indianapoli Star. GREENCASTLE, Nov. 19.

DePauw and Wabash hooked up in their thirty-sixth clash this afternoon and after four periods of relentless scrapping on Blackstock field, which was coered with snow and ice, the ancient foes called It a day with neither able to score. More than twenty-five hundred fans braved a cold, biting wind to witness the encounter. It was a typical meeting of these traditional rivals, with each aggregation fighting just as hard at the final gun as at the initial kickoff. The Old Gold held the Scarlet- jerseyed athletes at bay on several occasions, once within the shadows of the goal posts, when a spirited Wabash drive in the third period had.
