Consequently, all that remains is to select that man whom the Townsend administration believes It can advance successfully for the nomination and election to the senate. There aro several angles to be considered In any selection, which are as fellows: 1. He must be a party wheelhorse because no matter who succeeds President Roosevelt in 19-in, the Democratic majority must be maintained. 2. Since President Roosevelt counts on a Democratic congress to preserve and further his liberal record, Indiana's new senator must boa liberal in accord with Roosevelt's principles. 3. He must be In harmony with the present state adininistra tion which is endeavoring to proserve Indiana for the Democratic party. . > 4 4 He must be a man whom the Democratic party in Indiana can unite upon without regard to fractional differences. 5. He must be a man approved by the nutlonal party leadership if Townsend is to receive the 1940 nomination for the vice-presiden «rThus far none of those mentioned for Van Nuys' senate seat can fulfill all of those qualifications. The Democratic high com maud itself admits that to date it has no definite candidate which meets nil of the qualifications. Consequent ly, Parley's junket as lar as Indiana is concerned takes on added significance. Hmay be expected to slip the word into Townsend's ears as to whom the administration will consider I acceptable to succeed Van Nuys. | Most prominently mentioned is i the last 10 days has been R. Earl I Peters, federal housing adminisI trator for Indiana and former! state democratic chairman. Pet- ] ! ers, a political opportunist, is bei iieved to be close to Parley bei cause he advocated that Indiana's presidential delegation back Roosevelt from the start in the 1 1932 presidential convention while former (!ov. Paul V. McNutt connj aelled delay. Peters' sentiments brought federal governmental sympathy after Roosevelt was » elected which may have a bear- | ing on the 1938 and 1940 elecI tiona. Peters is a Port Wayne citizen, which also is in his favor since Senator Minton is from southern Indiana. But Peters made the mistake of ( backing E. Kirk McKinney for governor against Townsend last

spring and accordingly docs not sit well with Townsend's henchmen. In fuel, one man high In command In the pnrty, told the United Press that “99 per cent of the Democratic leadership in Indiana would oppose Peters for U. 8. j senator." If this is true, next week’s ' meeting Is u strategic time for j Parley to reveal whom the administration will support for senator. Townsend has made overtures ' of peace toward obth the McKinney and Pleas Greenlee factions in ; his major state appointments. He has on his hands Sam Jackson, Port Wayne attorney who keynoted at the 1936 convention, and several adnilnlstration loaders are known to he opposed to him. He also has Congressman Glenn Griswood, but who has the handicap ! reportedly of not being too popular In his own district. And finally, Omer S. Jackson, | present attorney-general and state democratic chairman, Is reported to believe that the senatorial toga jis about to drape his figure. : Which Is believed to be a thor--1 ough misapprehension on his part, j He is due to be relieved both as attorney-general and state chairman not later than early 1839. Consequently, Parley is In the | right spot to step in next week and express administration preferences, with the possibility of making no end of deals with the powerful Indiana Democratic machine to the advantage of both—with a vice-presidency possibly at ! stake. O' DISSENSION IN PAGE ONE) Almost all of the 30 conferees at the meeting, the United Press was informed, were willing to “h o1 d off" on recommending changes in the law at this session of congress. No official stand, however, was taken and no rec-i ommendations were made. Miss Perkins called the session as the first of a series of similar meetings to discuss collective bargaining, guaranteed to labor under the validated Wagner act, and methods of averting costly Industrial strikes. One of the conferees said that both factions or organized labor and most of the industrial spokesmen had agreed to oppose immed- 1 iate attempts to enact compulsory arbitration legislation. Miss Per kins and other government representatives also were said to view that type of legislation unfavorably. The agreement would not affect an amendment to the act backed by the American Federation of Labor and providing for recognition of the federation's craft union by the national labor rela tions board in collective bargaining. o Trade in a Good Town—Decatur

Hurls Charges Madrid, Apr. 21.— KU.R>— Italian and German warships were accuss!od of transporting war materials !to the nationalists, of spying on loyalist activities, of bombardment and air bombing government concentrations by the loyalist newspaper, Heraldo De Madrid, today. “This supports the belief that the international mission confided in the German and Italian fleets (to enforce Spanish neutrality) will serve for similar or groat excessess,” the paper said. The newspaper La Voz made similar charges.

In reply to further questions, Sir Samuel said ho does not admit the right of the rebels to Are on a British merchant ship und that "the utmost a hogtllo ship could do would bo to take possession." "As long as a British merchant ship is on the high seas," he continued, “It would be protected by uny British warships within call immeditely she were tired on or subjected to Illegal Interference.” CONGRESS WILL (CONTINUED KKOM PAGE ONE) estimated rovenue at $6,906,000,000 and expenditures at $7,324.-1 000.000 for a not deficit of $418,000,000 and a gross of $819,000,000. The figures compelled the president to withdraw from his assurance of last January that the next fiscal year budget would he balanced except for a $401,000,000 debt retirement item. But he said he hoped yet to achieve it. He avoided all refer ence to the 1939 fiscal year In which he believed last January that there would he an absolute balance of the budget, including debt retirement. The difficulty Mr. Roosevelt is experiencing in keeping expenditures down recalled today earlier White House moves toward budget balancing when, at various times, the president said: January, 1934: "We should plan to have a definitely balanced budget for the third year of recovery (1936) and from that time on seek a continuing reduction of the national debt." January, 1935: “The country will henceforth have the assurance that with the single exception of this item (work relief), every current expenditure of whatever nature will be fully covered by our estimates in current receipts.” January. 1936: “We approach a balance of the national budget.” I Annual Governor’s Outing Is Planned Lebanon, Ind..
