CITY MANAGER SLATE FAILS TO WIN CITY HALL Many Officials Do Not Like Ticket, But Will Not Talk. BY EDWIN V. O’NEEL Divided views on the Indianapolis City Manager League ticket for the commissioners’ election Nov. 5 were voiced today at the city hall. Seven candidates indorsed by the league failed to win eanroval of a majority of city offlciaro w\d employes. although the lattfcr declined to express their personal views. Many expressed the opinion that the ticket is "weak" although they refused to be quoted. Majority of city hall employes are viewing the coming election through partisan eyes with no regard for the ideal of "nonpartisan business administration’’ as advocated by the manager league. Several party leaders have said that the manager forces are "just another faction in politics."

Not “Vote Getters” Politicians who are opposed to manager government principles, declared that the league failed to pick candidates who will be "vote getters." Scores of independent candidates already have indicated intentions of entering the fall race. Politicians have begun to spread propaganda about the manager ticket, indicating the fight at the polls Nov. 5 will be one of the bitterest struggles in years. Some Democratic party leaders favor supporting the manager slate, which includes three Democrats, while others desire other candidates to represent the party. The personal view of Leroy J. Keach, Democratic county chairman, is that neither political party should participate in the fall election unless the manager law is held unconstitutional. “The city manager plan contemplates a nonpartisan election and I think it should have a fair trial,” Keach said. Organization Stand Mystery E. Kirk McKinney, Democratic city chairman, said it is too early to determine what attitude the city organization will take. George V. Coffin, G. O. P. boss, has returned to the city after a vacation at the northern lakes, but has not made public any plans for the campaign. "Everybody is waiting to see what 'he supreme court does,” Coffin said. *T don't think any one has a right tG anticipate what the court will do, so I’ve not paid much attention to the fall election so far. I’m not in a position to say whether the Republican organization will offer a siate or not. "I’vb talked with a number of bush lets men about the city manager slate and the opinion is divided as to whether it is a strong ticket. I don't know all the candidates, but those I know are all right.” "It’S a very good ticket,” Mayor L. Est Slack, Democrat, said on returning to the city from his summer cottage in Johnson county. Asked whether he would support the ticket he said: "It’s like any one else supporting a ticket. I haven’t decided* what I’ll do personally.” Slack advocated the manager plan and supported the league before he t*>ok office. When he took the mayoralty, he declared he would work toward turning the city over ro the manager forces in good condition. Has Manager Bee Slack Is known to have city manager aspirations and has said he wfil take a hand in the campaign if he "doesn’t like the set-up.” "Ifrt disappointed with the ticket,” declared Sterling R. Holt, city controller and veteran Democratic leader. "I had hoped that the manager league would pick seven big business men for the first commission. I'm opposed to a woman and professional men being on the commission.” Hoit said. "My idea would have been to let all the candidates come out and then pick the seven best to be backed In the election,” he said. Kolt commented that the two candidates south of Washington street live within a block of each other. “It’s a fine ticket, I wouldn’t know as to whether it could be elected,” commented Oren S. Hack, corporation counsel, a Democrat. Edward B. Raub Sr.. Democrat, and city council president, said: "It is a very excellent selection. I think it ought to appeal to the public generally and be supported by the best citizens.”

—Photo Copyright. 1929, by NEA Service. Transmitted by Telephoto. Hidden in the scrubby trees and underbrush on the desolate slopes of Mt. Taylor, 100 miles west of Albuquerque, N. M., the wreckage of the lost Transcontinental Air Transport passenger plane City of San Francisco was found by aerial searchers days after it had carried its eight occupants to their death. The top picture, the first photograph of the scene to be brought out, is an airplane view, looking down on the mountain from above; it shows graphically the lonely, isolated nature of the scene of the tragedy. The dotted line shows the course of the City of San Francisco in her fatal plunge. Wreckage of the wings can be seen at the point where the liner first struck the trees, and a little farther on can be seen the debris of the cabin. Center picture shows the route of the T. A. T. lines in the far west, with cross marking the approximate location of the disaster. Below is Pilot George Rice of the Western Air Express who made the discovery.

Two persons, one a woman, were injured in the rush for the door. Four rioters were arrested. The Freiheit. is a Communist paper published In Yiddish. It printed an editorial attacking the entire Zionist movement, branding it a "tool of British imperialism.” The offices of the paper were the scene of a lesser demonstration Saturday night.

TENNESSEAN IS NEW NATIONAL G, 0. P, LEADER Claudius H, Huston Chosen Chairman of Committee to Succeed Work, BY RAYOND CLAPPER United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.—The Republican national committee today elected as its new chairman Claudius H. Huston of Tennessee. This action was taken in accordance with wishes of President Hoover following the recent resignation of Dr. Hubert Work of Colorado, chairman of the national committee through the Hoover presidential campaign. Huston became President Hoover’s new political pilot charged with the responsibility of preparing for the next national campaign. The meeting of the Republican national committee today was called by Dr. Work to accept his resignation and elect a successor. Work makes way for an aggressive organizer, expected to inaugurate anew and more highly efficient regime in Republican party affairs. Work joins the growing ranks of former Hoover political lieutenants who have severed their close connections, such as Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt and William J. Donovan. No Break in Friendship However, there has been no break in their personal friendship. Work was the first of the Coolidge cabinet to declare for Hoover and the President rewarded him with the national chairmanship and held Work in that post in face of widespread demands for his resignation. Huston’s advent is regarded by many as foreshadowing a, more Hooversque regime in national party politics. He is a successful and wealthy business man of the type Hoover has drawn around him in large numbers since March 4. Huston has a reputation for political achievement. .He is credited with a large share in carrying Tennessee for Harding in 1920. He served as assistant secretary 7 of commerce under Hoover and in 1924 and, again last year, raised large sums for the Republican campaign. Adopted New Yorker Huston has interests in Tennessee, but in late years he has acquired so many in New York he is now almost an adopted son of Park avenue. He is one of the newer type of “white collar” politicians and, it is expected he will undertake to put the Republican party in the south on a more dignified basis as recently urged by Hoover. Exercising the prerogative of her sex, Mrs. Alvin T. Hert, vicechairman of the national committee. changed her mind and several days ago withdrew her resignation, recently offered. A scramble of women for the place sent Hoover running for cover. He persuaded Mrs. Hert to stay on rather than face a choice among half a dozen aggressive women who hoped to be elected to secend place in the national committee hierarchy.

BARBERS CONVENE I, Delegates Expected in City Tuesday. The Journeymen Barbers’ International Union of America will begin a ten-day convention Tuesday at headquarters, 222 East Michigan street.

Fritz, Indiana Federation of Labor secretary, Appointment of committees and other business will be included in Tuesday’s program. The committee formulating laws for the international union, with H. C. Wenzel of St. Paul, as chairman, has been in session in Indianapolis for more than a week.
