Hoosier Politicians Wooing Labor Votes Sen Pepper Blasts G. 0. P. 'Old Guard' Indianapolis. Oct. 3.—(UP) —Both major par’ies in Indiana, approaching the last month of campaigning, apparently were wooing the labor vote today as never before In th«history of Hoosier politics. Homer E. Capehart. Republican senatorial candidate, and Ralph F. Gates, nominee for governor, repeatedly have scourged Sidney Hillman, chairman of ‘he CIO political action committee, and congressional candidates similarly have assailed the PAC. Their apparent purpose, observers felt, was to win support of rival American Federation of latbor affiliates and Independent union men for the Republican ticket and do create a rift within the ranks of

SYNOPSIS A leading and popular resident of Talbot, sleepy Uttla Chesapsaks Bay village. Is MRS. EUNICB REYNOLDS, elderly and unable to walk, but the possessor of young Ideas. She has been dominated by nor strong-willed granddaughter* LAURA, who Uvea with her. Mrs. i Reynolds lilrea ANNS WILSON, personable young New Yorker, to be her nurse. Longtime fiance of Laura Is RUSSELL SMITH, conservative youne attorney. The placidity of Russell's life Is shattered by the arrival, after a long absence, of bis outspoken, liberal brother, DAN - YESTERDAY: Russell finds he misses Den a great deal and debates about dis-usaing llie sailing incident with Anna, CHAPTER EIGHTEEN DAN WAS hesitating about what to do as he stood in front of Mrs. Reynolds' bouse, when someone touched his arm and % light voice behind him said, "Can’t you make up your mind which of them you like best’’’ He turned to see Miss Withers looking up at him. "Oh, Mixa Withers?' He spoke as if the mention of ber name meant something. She chuckled. *1 wtis coming around to see you, 1 thought I'd look here first.” He bowed. "I'm honored.” "Why bo so ironical? Do you think I’m going to rush around and tell everybody you were out bare peeping in at Anne Wilson ?" Ho fell Into step beside her. “Are you quite sure 1 wasn’t peeping at Laura?" "Very sure. No reason at all for you to peep at Laura. You're engaged to her. Or aren’t you ? These days one never can bo sure of things like that." He was annoyed, but he kept tn slow step beside her. He wanted to say something, but wasn't certain just what to say. Mias Withers was a strange person, though he remembered hi.i mother had always said no one should get the foolish notion that Miss Withers was merely a cheap gossip. She was something m eh more than that. He knew It now as they walked along together. At the corner she

the congress of industrial unions. Both Governor Schrlcker and Sen. Samuel D. Jackson, Democratic nominee for the U 8. senate and governorship, respectively, have cited labor and secarPy gains made during the Roosevelt administration. It was left to an outsider, however, to blast the Republican “old guard" and big business In a Demci night. Sen. Claude Fepper. D., Fla.. , cratic labor rally at Anderson last r < harged that the “old guard" would > destroy unionism If the Republican party were returned to power. i "Labor Is being united In every . |>art of the country behind Roosevelt and Senator Truman, for labor t knows that the president Is the . trusted friend of labor and that big . business hates labor,” the southern f sentaor asserted. He said that there was a “strong- . ly confirmed whisper" tha' John L. ] llewls.

halted. "Have you had a talk with Dan ?” she demanded in her abrupt way. He was cautious, "Why should I talk with Dan?” He could see her eyes snap In the light of 'he street lamp. "Don't fence. You're not In court now. You were away yesterday, but Mrs. Gander must have told you what the whole town's talking about.” "You know everything, don't you, Miss ’"ithers?” She thrust the sarcasm aside. "I try to know all I can. I'm Interested In people. I always will be. Life wouldn't be worth anything, otherwise. I don't consider eating and sleeping enough for me. And I have no sympathy for people who are so self-satisfied that they're not interested in others.” "An original point of view, Miss Withers.” "It’s not. It’s merely human. If you werent’ interested in a girl like Anne Wilson after a long dose of Laura Reynolds—well, I wouldn’t be interested in you. I like people that are human. That's why I always liked Dan. He always kept you wondering what he was going to do next. He was stimulating. He gave you something to think about." "And talk about?" "Yes. and talk about” Her eyes twinkled. "You car't hurt n. feelings, Russel) Smith, even if you are so clever a lawyer. When it comes to that kind of thing, any woman can beat any lawyer, or even the chief justice of the supreme court of the United States That’s a mouthful, Isn't it? Nov I want to ask you a serious question. That's why I was coming to see you. Where is Dan ?” "Why shouldn’t he be home?" "Oh, you lawyers. Can’t you be human? Can you say you weren’t mad at him for dumping A"ne into the river, even If he did pull her out? Can’t you say you paid him to run away again and not cut in on you when **>u'ro making up your mind?” “Mias Withers!" "That’s my name. And Tm not blind. Russell Smith.
