Mr. and ' Mrs. Herman Seddelmeyer and

M. doesn’t lift Nat I Pendleton’s option, he is threaten--1 ing to go on a wrestling tour. Nat i was former A. A. U. champion ! and was world's amateur chamnion in 1925. He boasts he could I toss most of the current grunt and I groan lads clear out of the ring. The illness jinx Is running up overhead again at Twentieth Century. Alice Faye is in the Cedars of Lebanon hospital and Tyrone Power got up out of a sick bed so Director Henry King wouldn’t have to call off production of “Alexander’s Ragtime Band". This is a $2,000,000 picture and every day lost costs the studio some fantastic amtnint like $50,000. "Kidnaped,” another big film on the lot, is minus the services of Director Alfred Werker and also of Arleen Whelan. Gypsy Rose Lee may have to lay off any minu.e on “The Battle Breadway". The trip to Europe Isn’t enough vacation for Wallie Beery, so he

will go to Canada on a bear hunt as soon as he returns. . . . The S e 1 z n i c k offices went on record that Paulette Go ddard WILL play in the Janet Gaynor- Douglas Fa' >anks. Jr., picture, “The Young in Heart”, and definitely WILL NOT be Scarlett

STUDY PROGRAM OF LEGISLATION: — .. h Gov. Townsend Outlines t Study At Sixth District Rally J i Turkey Run State Park. Ind., 1 Mar. 18. -<U.PJ “Detailed studies of I pertinent problems are being con- ‘ ducted by the state administration 1 in preparation for the 1939 Hess- 1 lon of the Indiana legislature. Gov. 1 M. Clifford Townsend reported at 1 i a sixth district Democratic rally 1 here last night. “A tax study commission is work- 1 Ing diligently to find ways of I further equalizing your taxes. A ' marriage committee is studying i ways to Improve our marriage laws I for the public good. Another com- 1 mlttee is studying workmen’s com- 1 pensatfon insurance. t "We are doing all this in the i most Democratic way possible. We are asking the views and sugges- i tions of all the peoples nd hold ing public meetings," the governor said. The battle for democracy, he de- ' | dared, is not a battle of blood and i cannon. It is one of “good government and security." "Our party is the dominant party today because it looks forward. It ( !is progressive. It represents the common man—his dreams and his hopes." Townsend asserted that "six years ago our state hospitals, prisons and correctional institutions were not very far advanced beyond the dark ages. Within the last few years, our state institu- , tions have been improved to keep abreast of scientific methods of rehabilitation. Every effort is being made to make useful citizens 1 out of those unfortuate people who are inmates of our state institutions." ■PERSONALS Elmer Stucky, formerly of near Berne, is reported ill at Woodburn, his prwvent home.

would bet aken pending efforts of President Roosevelt to achieve a solution of their financial problem. Previously railroad spokesmen had indicated that today's meeting was for the purpose of considering the framing of a request to the 21 railroad brotherhoods that they accept a reduction. The board of directors of the Association of American Railroads, headed by President John J. Pelley. hardly had met in secret session when President Roosevelt said at his press conference in Washington that he is seeking a solution to the roads' loss of revenue other than pay cuts and that he believed reductions are not advis-' able at this time. A United Press dispatch on the president's statement was carried into the board meeting where it was understood it caused a considerable stir. What previously had been scheduled for a brief meeting to map the course of a later meeting embracing representatives of the entire 142 roads dragged on past the lunch hour. Spokesmen for some of the lines said they understood there was a strong possibility that the wage reduction would be discussed only in general terms and that the associatio nwould wait for President Roosevelt's three man committee, appointed yesterday, to bring in a report. —_* o * * Adams County Memorial Hospital Admitted Thursday: Mrs. William Welton.

MINTON ASSAILS EDWARD RUMEI.Y Indiana Senator Attacks Opponents Os Reorganization Bill Washington, Mar. 18. — (U.Rr — Chairman Sherman Minton of the senate lobby committee today: charged that executive Secretary; Edward A. Rumley of the national committee to uphold constitu- ( 'tionul government was convicted of wartime trading with the enemy and participated in Indiana Ku Klux Klan affairs. Minton’s charges were denied by, Rumley who also refused, on ad-1 vice of counsel, to submit to the ( committee the records of his organization which has been campaigning against enactment of the| administration reorganization bill. Rumley said he had been convicted under the tradhig-wlth-the-1 enemy act but that his conviction | was set aside and that President Coolidge granted him a full par-| don. He said Minton's assertion that he “helped organize the Ku Klux Klan in Indiana" was “totally false." Gn the senate floor Sen. Burton K. Wheeler. I).. Mont., challenged Minton to investigate the activities of organizations favoring the reorganization bill. Describing the lobby investigation as a “kangaroo court," Wheeler demanded the investigation be broadened to include the American Farm Bureau Federation. American Federation of Labor, Veterans Bureau, "heads of several depart-' ments and governors who have called their senators to urge support of the bill.” Minton said that Wheeler had . lunch yesterday in the senate res-

! taurant* with the "social lobby.” Wheeler retoreted that he had lunch with Alice Roosevelt Long” worth and declared: "If I can't take dinner with someone without becoming containinat- ; ed, I want to quit the senate." Rumley's defiance of a commitI tec subpoena to turn over his rec- | ords was based 011 advice of Elisha ■ Hanson, his counsel, who sat beside him at the lobby committee inquiry. Rumley contended the documents were wanted for a | “fishing expedition." The trading • with ■ the • enemy I charge grew out of world war developments. “You were convicted of trying to defraud the government by taking German money and buying the New York Daily Mail," Minton said. "I didn't take any money I knew was German,” Rumley replied. “Eleven of the 12 jurors said later ’ they would never have convicted me if some of the evidence hud j not . been suppressed." He said he went to Mrs. Addi phus Busch and tried to get her to j put up money to buy the newspaper. i “You did acquire the Daily Mail 1 and you tried to cover up where i you got the money," Minton said. “I didn't try to cover it up." I Rumley said. "My associates who 1 were American citizens put up the money." He said one Herman Sielcken had agreed to help put up the mon--1 ey and Sielcken. then residing in Germany, said he would communicate with Mrs. Busch. Minton turned to another angle. “You helped organize the Ku Klux Klan in Indiana.” Minton said. ■I “That is a totally false statement.” Rumley said. —o Galvin Dubach of Linn Grove has purchased the 80-acre farm of the late John Hoffman near the village.
