NORMAN DAVIS
WON EMINENCE

‘lnformal Ambassador’ to
Europe Began Career on
Tennessee Farm.
MADE FORTUNE IN CUBA
Trusted Adviser of Wilson

BY MARSHALL M’NEIL
Timrs Staff Writer
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.—Nor
man H. Davis, then a lad in knee
pants, was riding horseback from
his home in Bedford county, Ten
nessee, to a “third Sunday in May
messing.” Those were meetings of
worshippers who humbly washed the
feet of others. People gathered from
about; it was a big day.
Norman tore a stocking on a sad
dle buckle, and the prospect of get
ting to that big Sunday meeting
was pretty black for a moment.
But Norman had
an idea: He took
his chewing gum
cut of his mouth,
patched the
stocking by stick
ing it together
with gum on his
bare leg, and rode
on gaily.
Norman H. Da

and Europe, now

Norman Davis
riidate for secretary of state in the
Roosevelt cabinet, and his elder
brother Ewin tells that story to il
lustrate some of the traits he be
lieves caused Brother Norman to
attain his present eminence.
For some years now, Davis has
been a sort of American ambassa
dor to Europe without portfolio;
and his knowledge of European men
and affairs is highly regarded.
The Davises have been Tennessee
ans for generations. The father, a
farmer and a business man, died
when the six children were young,
and a large share of the burden of
supporting the family was shifted
to the shoulders of young Ewin.
then in Vanderbilt university. Nor
man was there, too.
Began Life as Lawyer
Norman decided he would go to
Leland Stanford university in Cali
fornia to complete his courses. Be
fore he went he was married to Miss
Mamie Paschall of Atlanta, and to
gether they went west, where from
1890 to 1900 he worked his way
through college as a business man
ager of the school paper.
Brother Ewin began his life as a
lawyer, borrowing enough money to
buy his law books; and brother Paul,
now president of the American Na
tional bank at Nashville, Tenn.,
known as the second largest in the
south, started his business career as
a $35-a-month clerk. All three of
these brothers now are in “Who’s
Who."
When Norman returned to Ten
nessee. Ewin tells, he found little to
interest him, and so he accepted the
invitation of a relative to go to Cuba
to start in business.
Fortune Started in Cuba
There he helped organize the
Trust Company of Cuba, and later
a construction company which got
some large building contracts. Ewin
says that is where his brother's
fortune started. During his many
years in Cuba, Norman retained his
American citizenship.
In 1917 he was called upon by
President Wilson to advise in con
nection with loreign loans; and this
led to important financial and dip
lomatic jobs; he was an assistant
secretary of the treasury and un
dersecretary of state.
He later became connected with
an important New York bank,
which, according to Ewin, did only
a local business.
525,000 to Al’s Campaign
In 1927 he was made a member
of the American delegation to the
Geneva economic conference; in
1932 he was appointed by President
Hoover as a member of our delega
tion to the disarmament conference.
The honors given this Tennesseean
by the Republican President appar
ently have caused some to wonder
whether Davis had Republican lean
ing.. But Brother Ewin scoffs at
this, pointing out that Norman gave
$25,000 to A1 Smith's campaign.
“Norman and ex-Governor Smith
have been intimate friends for
years,” Representative Davis said.
Norman Davis also is an old
friend of President-Elect Roosevelt,
and they were in consultation
several times before and after the
Democratic national convention.
Has Eight Children
Davis, indeed, is reported by some
to have had no small part in getting
A1 Smith to take part in the Roose
velt campaign; but Brother Ewin
won't discuss this.
Norman has eight children, and
Brother Ewin-tells how when asked
after his children, in the presence
of his wife, there's a twinkle in Nor
man's eyes, and he answers they
have “eleven, or some larger num
ber."
"And this is always followed by a
correction by his wife.” Ewin says.

Increased Buying Power
Essential to Revive U. S.,
Filene Tells City Group
mBBM ■ It
Employers Soon Will Be
Vying to Pay Highest
Wages, He Says.
Solution of America’s business and
social problems lies in creating pur
chasing power to absorb increased
production, declared Edward A.
Filene, Boston merchant and phil
anthropist, m an address at a noon
meeting of groups from local lunch
eon clubs at the Colum'Qia club.
“It is one of the interesting in
evitabilities of the near future that
employers, business men, and finan
ciers shall be striving to pay the
highest possible wages,” Filene de
clared in his address on “The Busi
ness Need of Financing the Masses.”
“High pressure salesmanship
without a corresponding high pres
sure ’buymanship’ simply is throw
ing money to the winds. We must
finance consumption to keep pace
with production.”
Cites Credit Unions
The credit union, the name given
co-operative loan organizations es
tablished by employe groups, repre
sents a much-needed activity to
finance the working man in times
of temoprary stress and keep his
buying power intact, Filene said.
Filene sponsors credit groups
throughout the nation. Filene was
one of the first business men in
America to become interested in
credit unions.
“No intelligent business man needs
to be reminded that if Americans
generally were buying the thing's
they want to buy, business generally
would be highly profitable,” Filene
said. “To buy, however, requires
either money or credit.
“But we are not providing the
masses today with this buying pow
er. The reason is not hard to dis
cover. Our American financial in
stitutions never were designed to
meet an emergency such as this.
Need Small Loans
“Provision should have been made
forty years ago for the need of small
loans to the average family, at a
rate of interest which would not
ruin the family and make it im
possible to repay the loan.”
“It may have seemed at times
that our bankers acted more like
buccaneers than financiers,” Filene
charged, in a scathing attack on
past methods, in which he touched
on the World war. high tariff, and
farm relief programs.
“We built up great industrial
plants and then we built up high
tariff walls which kept these plants
from functioning,” he charged.
“America loaned billions of dollars
to other countries, and. by excluding
products of other countries, made it
next to impossible for the other
countries to repay their loans.
"We financed agriculture so that
farmers could continue the proc
esses by which they had produced
mountains of wheat and cotton and
other products which couid not be
Death Shatters Dream of Decade for Veteran Dog Racer
JUST as it appeared that one
of his cherished dreams might
be realized. John Hohl, 50, of 2039
Singleton street, died Tuesday
night, without accomplishing an
end for which he had striven for
several years.
Hear disease resulted in Mr.
Hold's death as he was seated at
dinner in his home.
For more than ten years, Mr.
Hohl had looked forward to the
time when he would be permitted
to operate his own Indianapolis
race track, where greyhounds and
whippets would dash around the
course in pursuit of a mechanical
rabbit, always just beyond reach.
Last summer it appeared that
his dream would become reality,
when the special session of the
general assembly passed a bill
legalizing betting, but a veto by
the Governor blocked this.
Now. with the general assembly
again in session, one of the
measures receiving the most seri
ous consideration pertains to le
galized betting. Only a few days
before his death, Mr. Hohl had
discussed with his son. Ralph, the
possibility of the law ocing passed,
little dreaming that nis own death

Weak in Second Day
of Bridge Play.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., Jan.
12.—Although holding consistently
weak cards during the second day’s
play in the National Amateur
Bridge tournament here today, Mrs.
L. H. Brink of Indianapolis con
tinued to lead the field. She is
playing as The Times’ representa
tive in the contest.
Mrs. Brink’s score for the second
round competition was 5,035 which,
combined with her first round score
of 5,070, gave her a total of 10,105.
Her lead, however, was cut dowm.
At the close of the day, 110 sepa

HITS GARNISHEE LAW
Repeal of Act Is Sought in Bill In
troduced in House.
Repeal of the Indiana garnishee
law, which has been branded un
constitutional by many leading at
torneys, is sought in a bill intro
duced today in the house of rep
resentatives by Representative Wil

The act, passed by the seventy
fourth general assembly in 1925, is
entitled “an act concerning execu

of all amendatory and supplemental
statutes also is asked.

duction.
“When any financial system
proves powerless to serve the needs
of business, and then ten or twelve
millions find themselves unem
ployed because of a financial break
down, there is no telling what
demogogs they may follow' or in
what economic vagaries they may
put their trust.”
The credit union system, Filene
said “fortunately was one of the
factors working for safety.” He de
clared it to be the only “financial
organization in America which is
going forward steadily and rapidly.”
More than 300 persons attended
the luncheon, a joint meeting of
the Indianapolis Advertising Club,
Indianapolis Real Estate Board,
American Business Club, Illini Club,
Electric League, Bell Telephone

At 6:30 tonight Filene will speak
at a meeting of Indiana Credit
Unions in the Antlers.

INDIANAPOLIS, THURSDAY, JANUARY 12, 1933
CITY PRIMARY
ABOLITION TO
BE DEMANDED
Repeal Movement Seen as
Certain of Support in
Both Parties.
HANDS OFF BY M'NUTT
Governor Expected to Sign
Bill If Legislature
Approves It.
Abolition of the direct primary in
municipal elections loomed today,
with announcement by Governor
Paul V. McNutt of a “hands off”
policy concerning it.
Leaders of the repeal movement
took McNutt’s statement as indirect
approval of their course
“Primary repeal is not an admin
istration measure,” McNutt de
clared. “But neither will it be op
posed by the administration. Ours
will be a ’hands off’ policy concern
ing it.”
This was interpreted to mean that
if the bill is passed the Governor
will sign it.
Supported by Both Parties
Only local offices, including rep
resentatives in congress, now remain
under the primary system.
Primary repeal is said to have the
i support of both the Democratic and
Republican party organizations.
Passage now would do away with
the municipal primary in May.
Candidates for city offices would be
nominated by the party organiza
tions for final decision of the voters
at the election in the fall.
Two bills are in the process of
making, it was learned. One is a
| blanket bill to repeal ail primary
| law's and the other would effect
repeal of the primary in cities only.
This would leave the county and
congressional offices still under the
j primary plan.
Since the party organizations are
built up from the precinct commit
teemen, and these are selected in
the primary, the repeal bill will
provide that committeemen be
chosen by voters at the general
elections.
State Repeal in 1929
Primary repeal covering state of
fices was passed in 1929 by bi
partisan action.
McNutt also explained today why
he had not mentioned the in
tangibles tax in his message to the
legislature.
“Passage of an intangibles tax is
one of the Democratic platform
measures,” he explained. "In my
opinion, it so was understood, and I
did not stress it because I feel that
it will be a doubtful source of
revenue at this time.”
Bill for a tax on intangibles at 25
per cent of their valuation was in
troduced in the house by Rep
resentative John M. Cantley (Dem.,
Logansport).
Such measure long has been
! recommended by the state tax board.

Epochal Court Conflict to
Be Waged: Widow to See
Infant for First Time at
Hospital Friday.
By United Press
PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 12.—Libby
Holman Reynolds, former Broadway
singer, may see her multimillionaire
baby for the first time Friday, if
her son’s condition continues to im
prove.
Physicians at the Pennsylvania
hospital said today the mother has
not asked to have the child brought
to her. Miss Holman occupies a
suite on the seventh floor of the
hospital.
Her baby, potential heir to a large
part of the $15,000,000 fortune left
by Smith Reynolds, is being kept in
an incubator a few rooms away.
Presuming the baby continues to
respond to the treatment necessary
because of his premature arrival, he
will be given his first bath in olive
oil Friday, weighed officially and
carried to his mother.
Policeman Guards Baby
Meanwhile, guarded by a uni
formed policeman, the tiny, sleep
ing bit of humanity became the cen
ter of what may be one of the most
bitterly contested fights for millions
in the history of the nation’s courts.
Circumstances—the will of the
child's grandfather, R. J. Reynolds;
trust fund established for the baby's
father, in which no mention was
made of possible widows, Young
Reynolds’ two marriages, and the
uncertain legal status of a post
humous child—conspired to produce
a legal tangle in which the judicial
minds of the country were at vari
ance.
It is possible that the United
States supreme court may be called
upon to determine how many of the
Reynolds’ tobacco millions will go
to the baby.
The baby probably will be named
Zachary Smith Reynolds, after his
father, who was mysteriously killed
six months ago at the Reynolds’
North Carolina estate.
Seeks Whole Estate
Through her attorney. Miss Hol
man has indicated that she will bat
tle for the entire estate —estimated
at from $15,000,000 to $20,000,000
for her son.
Other legal forces will be ar
rayed on the side of Ann Cannon
Reynolds, first wife of Smith Reyn
olds, and her daughter, now 2 years
old.
Alfred Holman, Cincinnati city
attorney, father of Mrs. Reynolds,
was expected to arrive in Philadel
phia today. Mrs. Holman has been
with her daughter since the birth
of the baby.
Will to Be Filed
By United Press
NEW YORK. Jan. 12. The
Guaranty Trust Company today
prepared to file the wall of the late
Z. Smith Reynolds for probate,
while attorneys for his widow, Libby
Holman Reynolds, worked on the
contest suit by which they hope to
break its terms and obtain $18,000,-
000 for the widow and his post
humous child.
The Guaranty Trust Company
was given letters of temporary ad
ministration several months ago,
but probating of the will was held
up, pending arrival of the child,
born Tuesday.
Arnold J. Brock, Mrs. Reynolds’
attorney, said Reynolds’ will, dis
posing of his $15,000,000 share in
the trust fund left by his father,
R. J. Reynolds, was inoperative, be
cause he was a minor and because
it was made before his marriage to
the former stage star.
Mrs. Reynolds will claim one
third of the $15,000,000, plus accu
mulated and unused interest, be
lieved to amount to at least $3,000,-
000, for herself and two-thirds for
her son. he said.
Two suits will be filed when the
will is filed for probate. The first
will seek the accumulated interest;
the second will seek the trust fund.

Does the dormant soul in the
opposite sexes demand release —a
change from the commonplace even
in the most settled of human be
ings? Time and again, in every
age, this question has arisen which
leads to an even more vital one—
Should a husband forgive a wife for
infidelity? Should a wife forgive
her husband for his sexual indis
cretions?
“Cynara,” the picture starring
Ronald Colman, opening Friday at
Loew 7 ’s Palace, plunges deep into
this great question of married life.
Would you have done as Kay Fran
cis, the wife, did or would you have
met it differently?
Loew’s theaters throughout the
country are interested in how you
would answer these questions. In
fact, they are interested to the ex
tent of paying S2OO in cash for the
two best answers.
The prizes will be divided, SIOO
for the best letter from a husband,
and SIOO for the best letter from a
wife.
First see the picture, “Cynara.”
Then write a letter of not more
than 100 words to the Cynara Edi
tor, care of The Indianapolis Times,
and in it answer this question,
“should the wife in ‘Cynara’ have
forgiven her husband?”
In addition to the national prizes
of S2OO, twenty-five pairs of guest
tickets will be awarded to the twen

These winners will be considered in

Guest tickets will be good for the

SENATE POLL
SHOWS BLAINE
BILL VICTORY
Majority for Passage of
Dry Law Revision is
Given in Check.
FIGHT ON AMENDMENTS
Robinson of Arkansas Will
Ask Ratification by
Conventions.
BY LEO R. SACK,
Timrs Staff Writer
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.—Com
. pletion of the Scripps-Howard poll
j of the senate on the Blaine prohi
! bition revision amendment indicat
led clearly today that the necessary
I two-thirds vote will be acquired.
Os the ninety-six senators, the
poll showed:
For the amendment in its present
or eventually revised form. 60; op
posed, 16; non-committal, 20. If all
senators are present and voting, six
ty-four votes will be necessary for
passage and sufficient of the twenty
who refused to commit themselves
today are expected to vote for the
final measure to insure its passage.
Two and possibly three vigorous
fights will be made against sections
of the amendment and there is pos
sibility that the judiciary commit
tee’s report will be overridden on at
least one amendment, that pertain
ing to ratification by state con
j ventions instead of legislatures.
Robinson to Ask Change
Democratic Leader Joseph Robin
| son announced that he will offer an
amendment to substitute conven
tions for legislatures. Many sena
tors have informed him that they
will insist on carrying out the pledge
of both party platforms in this re
spect.
Support is accumulating for Sena
tor Blaine’s proposed amendment io
strike out the section giving the
federal government concurrrent
power with the states to regulate
saloons. Senators are saying that a
police regulation should not be writ
ten in to the Constitution.
Mrs. Hattie Caraway of Arkansas,
the only woman senator, announced
she was opposed to the entire meas
ure.
The confidence of senate Demo
cratic leaders that the house of rep
resentatives will accept a measure
not in strict accord with the Demo
cratic platform pledge for outright
repeal was shattered by Speaker
Garner.
Must Keep Pledge
“I have announced,” he fold
Scripps-Howard newspapers, “that
I will oppose any measure which
does not comply with the Demo
cratic platform. I can’t help what
is being said in the senate. I shall
stand by my original position.”
Mr. Garner's announcement is
calculated to strengthen the fight of
senators who are insisting on re
demption of the party platform.
The attitude of senators not in
cluded among the 83 enumerated
yesterday follows:
Arkansas Robinson fDem.): “I
shall offer an amendment insisting
on ratification by state conventions
in accordance with the Democratic
platform. I shall support the reso
lution otherwise.” Mrs. Caraway
(Dem.): “I am going to vote
against it.”
Connecticut—Walcott (Rep.): “I
was for repeal when my state was
bone dry. I hope the sections per
taining to saloons will be stricken
out. I shall support Senator Rob
inson’s amendment.”
Florida Trammel (Dem.): "l
think the resolution should conform
with the party platform, but I shall
vote for final passage.
Would Bar Police Powers
Missouri—Howes (Dem.): I shall
do my best to eliminate objection
able features, such as police regu
lation and retification by legisla
tures; then I shall vote for final
passage. Patterson (Rep.i favors
saloon regulation, objects to legisla
tive ratification, but will vote for
final draft.
New Hampshire Keyes (Rep.),
expected to support committee text.
New Mexico—Bratton (Dem.), fa-
I vors conventions, wants saloon ref
erence eliminated, will support final
| text. Cutting (Rep.), noncommit
■ tal, but is expected to vote affirma
tively on final passage.
North Carolina—Bailey (Dem.):
“I am very much inclined to sup
port the Democratic platform, but
will vote for final draft.”
South Dakota-Bullow: “Am for
conventions, against the saloons.
Will vote yes finally.”
West Virginia—Neely (Dem.): “I
supported the Blaine amendment,
as written, in the committee. I
