Mr. Hewitt has had veterinarles from Green town and Russlaville examine the animal, and both state that they have never seen or heard of such a case before.

They advised the owner to keep the calf in a dark place, for its skin is a spotted pink, described as being as "smooth and tender as a baby's." In all other respects the calf is normal.

MINTON START Both Busy Despite Facts Battle Doesn't Formally Open Until September. BEE IN GREENLEE'S BONNET Postmaster-General James 'A.

Farley, who also is Democratic national chairman, also afforded party leaders opportunity to get together: It has not been determined when the Democratic nominees for congress will be called in. DflffPEACE (Continued from Page One) McNutt's Patronage Boss Aspires to Governorship; Raymond Springer Is Hopeful. Indianapolis, July both their 'party organization's have decreed that the political campaign in Indiana shall not begin until September, both United States Senator Arthur R. Robinson, Republican, and Sherman (Shay) Minton, Democrat, are busy these days meeting people and making speeches. Senator Robinson, rested by a few days at home, is laying the groundwork for the more or less independent campaign he always wages.

He is in complete cooperation and sympathy with the state committee decision that the actual campaign not start until after "dog days" are On the other hand, is overlooking no opportunity to make speeches, whether partisan or non-political in character. The same is true of Minton. The southern Indiana man quits his position as public counsellor for the public service commission at the end of the 'month, to give full attention to his campaign. He has found time recently, however, to make several non-political speeches and to visit several parts of the state where the McNutt administration has not'been so popular. Minton Rather Anxious.

As the candidate selected by Gov. Paul V. McNutt's organization to be the nominee for' United States senator on the Democratic ticket Minton has several sore spots in various parts of the state to try to heal. For that reason, he went into Lake county the last few days of this week to try to impress his personality on the Democrats there. Lake county has not been responsive to the McNutt form of administration.

He also plans to visit South, Bend, where there have been maneuvers lately to iron out the differences that have prevailed since the 1932 election. Senator Robinson is continuing his visits with war veterans' organizations, and reestablishing the fences he built Jn those sectors in other years. Senator Robinson is popular with all the veterans' organizations because of his stand in the national congress tion favoring the former fighters, and for opposing any reduction In their pensions. Other groups, especially those composed of business men, are to get the attention of the senator in his campaign for reelection. The surge of power shown by Pleas Greenlee, patronage "secretary of Governor McNutt, in putting over his selection--Minton--for the Democratic senatorial nomination, may change the gubernatorial picture two years hence, it is being said around places where politicians Some of Greenlee's friends, enthusiastic over his showing 'in handling the recent convention, put the notion into his mind that probably he should run for the party's nomination for governor in 1936.

Until the convention last month, it is doubtful that Greenlee ever gave' such a suggestion the slightest thought. Now it is said, he is hard bitten. In view of the fact that it has been more or less open knowledge that Lieutenant-Governor M. Clifford Townsend has been undergoing a thorough grooming for more than a 'year for the place, dark clouds appear in the offing. The administration leaders, or some of them at least, have felt that Townsend would be a logical successor, because of his friendship with the farmers and other groups, to Governor McNutt.

The fact that Greenlee has been talking about the'1936 gubernatorial nomination with himself in mind as the nominee, may change some -Other plans of the administration. Some of the men closest to Gov. McNutt had it all figured out a short time back that Greenlee should go to Washington to take a prominent federal position. There, they figured, he could do the governor a lot of good for the future-the future being the immediate period following the end of the McNutt administration in 1936. That Greenlee might be entertaining any aspirations for the nomination for governor, however, does not mean that his loyalty to the governor has weakened a particle.

There is little doubt in the minds of the political folks that Greenlee is just as loyal to the governor's interests as he was when he first took office, and that loyalty has continued. Raymond Springer of Conners- vllle, the Republican nominee for governor in 1932, still entertains hopes of becoming the state's chief executives, according to those in the know hereabouts. Springer, an attorney, has been visitor at state political headquarters In Indianapolis, and his friends say he will be a sure starter. Both Democratic and Republican state organizations this summer are pursuing similar tactics in making ready for the fall campaign. Republican State Chairman Don B.

Irwin has had congressional nomi- neee in for two conferences already, and others are to follow. 'County chairman and vice-chairmen also are being called into Indianapolis by groups to lay before the chairman and problems. Democratic State Chairman Omer S. Jackson has had the Democratic nominees for the state legislature in Indianapolis for one meeting. Gov.

McNutt at that session told them that it was necessary that a legislature in sympathy with the present program be elected if everything he wants done is done. The dinner last week in ol Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, the comment that workers "made a grave mistake when they engaged in a sympathetic strike but they acted wisely when they ordered it officially terminated." Carmen of the Market street railway in San Francisco remained on strike. At Parkersburg, W. 550 em- ployes of the Ames-Baldwin-Wyoming Tool Works walked out as the result of a dispute over an em- ployes' election for collective bargaining. Twenty-four Alabama textile mills remained closed in the textile workers' strike.
