McNUTTBOOM IS UNDERWAY Open Headquarters To Boom McNutt For Presidency Indianapolis, Jan. 16. — <U.R) — Frank McHale, Democratic national committeeman, today opened two rooms in the Claypool hotel as the headquarters for the drive to install former Gov. Paul V. McNutt in the White House. For the present the rooms will house a clerical staff to handle the growing volume of correspondence in the McNutt presidential boom, McHale said. Later the quarters will be exanded as necessary. "McNutt for President” club will be organized in Indiana immediately and later in every state in the Union, McHale said. James Perry of Indianapolis probably will direct the McNutt movement in Indiana. Preliminary groundwork in others states for the McNutt 1940 campaign has been laid by McHale. McHale said that he still had no information on the date when McNutt, present high commissioner to the Philippine Islands, will relinquish his post at Manila and return to the United States to actively further his presidential drive. McHale and Omer Stokes Jackson, state Democratic chairman, will leave tonight for Washington for conferences with Senators
