Small Crowd Hears Capehart, Jacobs Finish Debates At Evansville Monday Fort Wayne. Ind., Dec. 17 (UP) —Democratic U. S. Rep. Andrew Jacobs says his Republican debate opponent. Sen. Homer E. Capehart, is a "me-too" believer in the program of the Democratic { party. Jacobs made the charge last night in the fifth of a series of debates on whether the new deal party is leading America to Brit-Ish-type socialistnr The two congressmen wrangled orally before a slim crowd of some 300 at Purdue Center. They move to Terre Haute tonight, will recess Munday, and stage the final debate at Evansville Monday night. Jacobs, a lalmr lawyer before entering congress last January as the 11th district representative, said last night's debate, coupled with the four earlier matches, had proved Capehart actually was in favor of the entire new deal pr<e gram. “And if that's socialism, then Capehart has endorsed socialism and lost his cause.” said Jacobs "I'm convinced the new deal party is socializing America," Capehart said. '<lt is only a question of lime before the Democyalic party will go out of existence and liecomi- absolutely the party of socialistic planners.” The congressmen delved into the problem of mono|M>liea for the first time on their tour. Ja< obs said elimination of monopolies would keep socialism out of this country. "As long as the anti-trust laws are enforced,” Jacobs said, "I don't think there is much chance of socialism in America.” But Capehart said the Democrats had been in power so long, they had only themselves to blame for any monopolies that existed. But Jacoba said he meant "if monopolies are allowed to run rampant, there is danger of socialism.” The definition of socialism, raised in the first debate, again came up. Capehart charged socialism had a broader meaning than “just nationalization of industry.” which he said was Jacolrn' defini tlon. "England has done more’ than this.” Capehart said. "They have moved one step at a time toward socialism, just as the Democrats in this’country are moving." Jacobs brought out what he called "inconsistencies" In Capehart's

arguments thus far. He said Capehart was willing to applaud sale of 93.5 percent of government owned war plants to private enter prise after the war. "as long as he thought the Bbth congress was responsible." But Jacobs said he pointed out that the sale was dictated by a law passed by the Democratic con-1 gress in 1944. and said when Capehart found that out, the senator condemned the sale. "Therefore, he favored government ownership." said Jacobs. Case Os Screaming Baby Under Probe Mysterious Case Is Reported At Salem Deputy sherifr Robert Shraluk.i Is investigating further the mysterious case of the screaming baby hut he admits that any possibility of a solution is remote. “We're still looking for clues to the thing." he said, "hut all we have to work on is the scream of a baby and a man running." The baby's scream was heard by Mr. and Mrs. Roy Young, who reside near Salem, Thursday night. The screams, they said, were coming from across the road, from an abandoned house. The Youngs started for the place, hut liefore tiiey could get there a man ran from behind heir home, toward the screams, and disappeared. Almut the time he reached the place from which the screams came there was silence except for the man running. Alsiut 15 men in the community searched the area, but there was nothing uncovered. There had been no car there at the time, and then Is nothing in the vicinity which would indicate any untoward :i<-- : tlons. The search continued Friday, hut there were no new development* it was reported from the sheriff's, office. The only basis for further tn vestigation is the tenuous fact Hint the running man apparently was I wearing Imots or golashes: there was an unmistakable "sllsh-slosh" : a* he ran.
