INDICT COP IN LIQUOR CLEANUP IN MINNEAPOLIS Police Morals Squad Head Cited; Entire Force Is Flayed for Laxity. By United Press MINNEAPOLIS, April 28.—Indictment of one police officer and a denunciation of the Minneapolis police department was the action taken today by a special grand jury after several weeks of Investigation. The officer indicted was E. J. Gustafson, head of the police morals squal. He was charged with wilful neglect of duty in connection with failing to take action against vice resorts. His indictment was said to have resulted from testimony given before the jury by a retired Lutheran pastor, the Rev. Nons Mldthun, who has been active in attempting to ciose vice resorts in the Washington square district. The minister was reported to have testified that he made complaints to Gustafson regarding operation of vice resorts but that no arrests were made. Even when he took the matter up with Mayor William H. Kunze, the minister was said to have testified, no action u T as taken. The grand jury has called scores of witnesses in its investigation of alleged police protection of gambling, liquor and vice. The denunciation of the police department was made by Dan Harding, investigator for the jury, in an address before the Five Fifty Club. He declared that there are 3,000 bootleggers in Minneapolis. '‘Until recently, crooked gambling was conducted on a wade-spread scale, ** Harding said. “Half of the policemen now on the force would be sufficient to clean up this city. However, you can’t entirely blame the police. If they raided the resorts, they would be transferred out to the residential districts.”

BY BEN STERN. "TTT'HY, we could run a yellow VV dog on our ticket and get him elected,” challenged a power- j ful Republican state leader one day, 1 several years ago, when a discussion of candidates for various public offices was well under way. From a cursory survey of the results of the 1930 election and the public temper today, whether it be. in downtown club or in v frcnt of the employment agency board, the Republicans can’t count on 1932 as a “yellow deg” year. In fact, 1932 is going to be a "darned good man year.” The nominee for Governor must be a man whom public opinion, whether it be banker, clerk or laborer, feels will be responsive to the public needs and absolutely capable. “The next Governor must be able to 'talk everybody’s language, know what economic changes are occurring over the world, bring into office a constructive tax policy, cut public expenditures and pay attention to business,” a prominent Republican business man here said, in discussing various candidates. a a a With these requirements in mind, G. O. P. leaders are being called upon by those who fill the campaign coffers to exercise some selectivity. Republican candidates up for consideration at present include: M. Bert Thurman, Republican national committeeman; Frederick Landis, Logansport editor, who was runnerup in the 1928 convention; Fred Purnell, Ninth district congressman. George M. Barnard, Newcastle and Indianapolis attorney, and Lieu-tenant-Governor Edgar D. Bush of Salem. Thurman, the Watson leader in the state, has not had much chance to display his statesmanship, but he reveals a grasp of public affairs and needs. He should go into the convention with strong Watson support. He resigned as internal revenue collector to devote his time to the senator’s and the party’s affairs, and also withdrew from the 1928 primary race for the nomination to keep his campaign from interfering with Watson's for President. a a i Landis will also go into the convention with much strength. Those delegates who supported him in 1928 will be back again. The bushy headed and fiery editor has gained much strength and is more widely known as a result of addresses at conventions, banquets and over the radio. G. O. P. spellbinder and ardent Watsonite, George M. Barnard definitely has stated he will not be a. candidate if Thurman is in the race. a a a Purnell and Bush are professional farmers’ friends. The former finds himself in the same situation as Barnard. He is a Watson adherent and does not expect to become a candidate if Thurman is in the race, his friends say. As for Bush, he will go into the convention with some farm support, but there is a general feeling among members of the farm federation that the show he put on in favor of the income tax bills was not sincere and therefore he is not to be trusted. RAIL LINE NEARLY DONE 300-Mile Texas Route to Be Open Formally June 1. By United Press CHICAGO, April 23.—The Chicago & Rock Island railroad announced today that the new line it is building in conjunction with the Burlington railroad from Dallas and Ft.

DEPUTIES DUWN MINE STRIKERS IN GUNBATTLE Insurgent Workers Retreat Before Blazing Fire of Machine Guns. HARLAN, Ky.. April 28—Several men were reported wounded in a clash between deputy sheriffs ans men believed to be striking miners at Black Mountain, near here today. More than 2,000 shots were reported fired before deputies with machine guns repulsed the attackers. None of the officers was wounded, but the attackers were seen to remove several wounded. Sheriff J. H. Blair said the officers were fired upon by the men who sought to prevent the mine workers entering the Black Mountain coal mines. The sheriff and his deputies returned the fire, he said. Lasts More Than Hour The battle lasted more than an hour, Blair said. Telephone wires to outside towns were cut, preventing communication during the fight. The deputies, fortified around the mines, were armed with hand grenades, machine guns, rifles and a large quantity of ammunition. The sheriff had rushed three automobile loads of his men to Black Mountain, thirteen miles from here, after miners going to work on an early shift, had reported they were fired on from ambush. Scene of Many Disorders The Black Mountain coal field has been the scene of several recent disorders. Mobs of unemployed have broken into stores and looted them on three occasions. A deputy sheriff was killed and another man wounded several days ago not far from where today's clash took place. A mine draft was bombed and a mine guard shot recently. Blair blamed Communists and I. W. W. workers and their propaganda for the disturbances. RADIO CHANGE IS ASKED Richmond Station Petitions More Frequency, Shared Time.

ALIEN’S ‘DUTY’ IS TRIAL ISSUE Claim Objections to War No Bar to Citizenship. . By United Press "WASHINGTON, April 28.—Regulations of the department of labor requiring applicants for citizenship to swear they will bear arms in defense of the United States, have no foundation in the law or the Constitution, John W. Davis told the supreme court Monday. Arguing in behalf of Professor Douglas C. Macintosh of Yale university, an Englishman, who refused to take the oath to bear arms, Davis said a naturalized alien’s first duty was to God, and his second to his adopted country. Scruples against war should be no bar to citizenship, he contended. In applying for citizenship, Macintosh reserved the righ to decide when war was declared whether or not he would take up arms. Denied citizenship, he appealed to the lower, courts, which, decided in his favor. The government then appealed to the supreme court.
