apwlflcally today hia campaign; plHtiw whether he will enter the .lune convention to taco almost retrain defeat from organlxationcontiolled delegates, or definitely run a« »“ independent. Thus far VanNuys has refused j to elaborate on the mere state-j uienl: "1 a candidate for reelection.” The last month definitely has widened the breach between VanNuys and the Democratic leadership from top to bottom and leaves no doubt of the death struggle be--tween them. Any faint hope for a reconcilliatlon disappeared when VanNuys and McNutt failed to see eac hother once during the month i the former governor, titular head L>f Hoosier democracy, was in InIdlanapolls and Washington. McNutt was believed to be the only man who could have brought harmony to have a united Indiana behind his 1940 presidential ambition. But when VanNuys and McNutt remained conspicuously aloof from each other, the war irrevocably started. Administration leaders unanimously put out the word at the Indiana Democratic Editorial Association winter meeting last month that VanNuys had dealt himself 'out of the Democratic party when he appealed to Republicans as well

“That’* too bad!” Marie offered, after an awkward pause. "Funny —what different reasons we all have for being on this train. I never thought of it befora—all the reasons why people ride on trains. It isn’t always for pleasure, is it?” “When were trains ever a pleasure?” Miss Yates inquired archly, and clutched at the wall as the train lurched sidewise. Marie flushed painfully and collected her possessions. “Thanks for helping with my dress." She smiled at jaxie and left the room. Miss Yates snorted. “So she’s on her honeymoon and thinks people travel only for pleasure—starting out with a man to obey and take care of, and the next thing she

knows, having children to worry over. I have no illusions whatever about the romance of marriage and motherhood. And she won’t have either, in a year or so. But it will be too late to be sorry, then." Clarice was thinking that there certainly was a bunch of crocks on thia train, especially the women. She rather resented Jaxie's glowing beauty, which required no penciling and rouging to enhance it But men didn’t look twice at a girl like that, she consoled herself. They fell for bizarre effects, color contrasts and graceful forms. Clarice had them all, hadn’t she? The train had stopped. Passengers poured from its opened doorways into the June morning sunshine, eager to stretch cramped muscles and breathe fresh, clean oxygen. They swarmed over the long platform like disturbed ants. The Misses Yates and Colbin selected picture postcards from a rack, with careful discrimination, anticipating the effect of each view upon each recipient Impressing their friends who were left behind with the beauty and importance of the places they visited constituted a large part of the pleasure of the trip. A charitable sharing with others, so to speak. They liked to think of it in that light, the while they estimated the cost of the cards and postage stamps. The distinguished looking gentleman in number 3 walked alone, not venturing too far from the entrance to car 74X. Clarice strolled the length of the train, conscious of every movement, aware of every eye —disdainful, but alert to any possibility. Jaxie looked around her eagerly —a newsgatherer in Kansas City searching for something of interest to her Chicago public. In the station lunchroom, she found Mrs. Dade, with the baby on her arm and Jun-

uh Democrats in letters and pledge cards sent to 100,000 Hoosiers voters. VanNuys may answer that ; charge today as wel las report j I specifically on the response to his i campaign solicitation. He may dis j battle against the statehouse “two cuss his campaign finances in his; percent club” funds of approximately a million dollars. The senior Indiana senator evi dently is hopeful of lining up a coal itlon of conservative Democrats who have grown cool toward the | national administration, particular-' ly due to the recession, with independent Republicans who may be dlssatisled with the outcome of tbelt own primary which already has four candidates. Thus the Townsend organization is confronted with the task ot holding Its normally Democratic forces vigorously into line in this year's election to offset the natural vote which an independent can- 1 didacy would draw. It would be! a terrific blow to the statehouse to have either a Republican or an indpenedent win the senate race —the head of the ticket in 1938— ant! would be a vital embarassment to McNutt's presidential homo. To bring home VanNuys' senate seat the Democratic leadership is concentrating Sam Jackson, Fort

lor clutching her skirt, having a thermos bottle filled with warm milk. “Good morning," Jaxie greeted her. “Did you have a good night?” “We surely did, thanks to you," Carrie assured her? and the golden morning was brighter for them both. “I brought along enough food for us for today, but I had to get warm milk for the children." She sighed a little. “It’s going to be a long day.” Kirby Elliott hurried across the platform and disappeared into the telegraph office. Jaxie, seeing him, thought, “It’s going to be a short two days to know him bfetter.” As Kirby entered the office the man in lower 3—the man with the

keen gray eyes—went out, lighting a cigarette and walking briskly toward the train. His lips curled slightly with an ironic smile as he recalled the words of the message he had just wired ahead to the coast. Clarice sauntered toward the engine, watching the repair crew at work on each car. She wouldn’t have exchanged glances with one of the men, but she enjoyed the thought of their roving eyes and low-toned comments as she passed. Covers of brake cases snapped open and clicked back into place. Longspouted oil cans were thrust into dusty crevices. Men scrambled up on the cars and spilled buckets of crushed ice into water coolers. As she neared the panting locomotive, two thick-shouldered men clasped hands; one was clean and fresh, the other soiled and wornlooking. The former clapped the other on the shoulder and held out a slip of yellow paper. “Congratulations, Joe. 1 couldn’t help reading it. A son! Well, well, ain’t that somethin’, now?” Joe’s weary eyes were misty and he reached up a grimy hand to clear them, leaving more streaks of grease and soot on his face. But the relief and joy swept the fatigue from his body in one swift rush of thanksgiving for this answer to his silent prayera through the long night. Clarice turned about, to meet the appraising eyes of tho only interesting man she had discovered on the whole train. Her half smile was just slightly encouraging. It might convey only a pleasant interest in general. His reaction would decide that. He smiled also and they fell into step, returning to car 74X at the end of the train. "Have I met you before?” he suggested. 4 (To be continued) Copyright. Edn» Bobb Web«t«f. DliUmuted by Kiai Fmuum SjoiiaU. lat

OIL COMPANIES BATTLE ‘GRAB’ Foreign Companies Fight Seizure By Mexican Government Mexico City, Mar. 21.- <U.R> For-, cign oil companies announced to-1 day that they would start injunction proceedings as the first move ■ of their fight to regain $400,000,000 ' in oil properties seized by the gov-1 eminent. Diplomatic proceedings would be the second step. It was estimated that American | j business interests already had lost ' millions through the decree bus pending dealings In gold and for-! , eign exchange issued coincident 1 with the seizure order. Food hoarding had started and prices skyrocketed. American Ambassador Josephus Daniels said that oil companies j were expected to exhaust every legal means of defending their property. "What should be done after recourse to Mexican law is a matter for the state department,” he said, as regards American companies. Executives of the foreign oil companies, announcing their Injunction plan, said that their lawyers would file briefs as soon as I possible. It was believed they ! would plead that the expropriation law under which the seizure was effected —on the ground that the companies were “in rebellion" against court orders to raise wages I —was unconstitutional. For the present the oil industry was paralyzed. American business was nearly paralyzed and oil company workers were in control ot 1 all company offices throughout the i republic. Dispatches from oil centers reported a mass flight of American and British oil company employes with their families. Fear of an oil shortage was ' acute. The department of nation|al economics sought to supply all filling stations, which were besieg- | ed by automobile owners, and sent I inspectors to check on over-charg-ing. It was estimated that poor prices had increased at some places by 20 per cent because of the gold purchase decree. Many merchants refused paper money for purchase in which they would have to give change in silver or nickel. There were indications that oil workers themselves might face ; curtailed wages, instead of the increased pay they had fought for, ' because of a government announcement that it might be necessary to reduce production due to difficulty in marketing oil products abroad. Q GROSS INCOME ROLES CHANGED Changes In Regulations Are Announced By Division Director Indianapolis, March 21 —Several 1 changes in the state gross income '.ix regulations were announced today by Clarence A. Jackson, director of the Gross Income Division as • pieparations were being made for the first quarterly taxpaying period in 1938 beginning (April 1. According to Mr. Jackson the tna jor changes in the regulations in’elude the following: 1. Affective for 1938 returns, but iiot retroactive for periods prior to 1938, individual members of a partnership do not pay tax on withdrawals or salaries from the partnership. 2. Insurance policy premium dividents will not be considered as taxable gross income to policy holders w hether received in cash, applied to purchase of additional insurance, or credited to further premiums. 3. Fiduciaries are required to file returns only when annual receipts ’are more than SI,OOO. The old regulation required a report even though receipts were less than sl,000. 4. 1938 annual returns will be mandatory when taxable gross income exceeds SI,OOO in the annual period. The necessity of filing re1 turns when the annual gross income is in excess of SI,OOO even though no tax is due, is eliminated. 5. Withholding agents will not lie required to show amounts paid to employes named on midyear lists. "As the time nears for closing the books prior to the April taxpaying period, the indications are that the collections for the 12-month period ending March 31, will be a several hundred thousand dollars more than i collections tor the previous 12month period." Mr. Jackson said. "We believe the number of returns tiled will also show a marked lnWayne lawyer, and is expected so<m to iron out the declared candidacy of Alex Gordon, member of the state unemployment compensation board, which is indicqtive of the split between labor and the ‘ organTzatiou powers.

It Jis anticipated that the number of quarterly returns will also show an increase since many taxpayers have i found it more convenient to pay their tax quarterly thus avoiding ihe entire amount of annual tax falling due all at oncce. o POLICE ISSUE WARNING HERE Police Request Motorists Obey Traffic Regulations With the advent of spring weather and warm evenings, police today issued several requests ot motorists. Police asked that motorists re- ! train from blowing horns of autos more than is absolutely necessary. Several complaints have been reeived by the department regarding 'I this. They also warned against speed-

Almost uncanny in their accuracy, such instruments are nevertheless second choice in the navigation of the air. Shoppers who trot off down-town to the stores without first consulting the advertisements of those same stores are likewise flying blind. And needlessly so.
