WOMEN CLASH OVER FIGURES IN VOTE TALK Mrs. Jacob Baur Tosses Challenge at Nellie Tayloe Ross. B>V United Prrr.s WASHINGTON. May B.—Mrs. Nellie Tayloe Ross, vice-chairman of the Democratic national committee, was accused of “misstatements and misrepresentations’’ in a statement issued Thursday night by th? Republican national committee over the name of Mrs. Jacob Baur, Republican national committeewoman for Illinois. Mrs. Baur challenged a statement of Mrs, Ross, made this week in a • c peach at Lima. 0., that “504 individuals. according to government records, reported incomes averaging In excess of $2,000,000 a year.” She cited a report of the commissioner of internal revenue to show that 504 persons reported Incomes “of a million or over—not two millions.” Observers were predicting today that the Baur-Ross episode might rival in the female contingent the widely publicized Fess-Shouse encounter, when Chairman Fess of the Republican national committee accussed Executive Chairman Shouse of the Democratic committee of telling “a deliberate falsehood.” In the Fess-Shouse case it developed that Shouse had been misquoted In press reports of his •speech. In the case of Mrs. Ross and Mrs. Baur, It was pointed out that Mrs. Baur seemed to be disproving a statement which Mrs. Ross did not make. It was noted that, while Mrs. Baur correctly quoted Mrs. Ross’ speech, her counter-argument used the same figures in a somewhat different way. Mrs. Ross said incomes of 504 individuals “averaged” in excess of $2,000,000. Mrs. Baur, on the other hand, showed that the incomes of these same 504 fortunates were in excess of one million dollars each, but she did not deal with averages. Friends of Mrs. Ross said it would be quite possible for 504 persons to have Incomes each in excess of a million, and have them average more than $2,000,000 each.

TTI7TTH much whispering and * ’ “shushing,” Democratic county leaders are on a still hunt for a possible successor to H. Nathan Swaim, Democratic county chairman, who emphatically declares he will not be a candidate in 1932. Swaim frankly 13 disgusted. Because of the depression there were thousands of applicants for county jobs and the position of chairman was particularly onerous after the last campaign. At one time Swaim was confronted with approximately 10,000 applications, and he complained that he had not time to attend to his own law practice. a a a Among possible successors being mentioned are E. Kirk McKinney, city chairman, who managed the 1929 city campaign successfully and now is president of the city board of works, and J. Leroy Keach, former county chairman. McKinney, incidentally, also is being mentioned as the party choice to succeed Mayor Reginald Sullivan in the 1933 election. His advisers tell him he would strengthen himself for this nomination if he conducted a successful county campaign. Keach doesn’t want the county chairmanship, his friends say. It is understood that he would like to be state chairman and some day national committeeman. # # tt The former chairman stands In a peculiar postion. His dearest ambition, it is understood, is to see Louis Ludlow, present Seventh district congressman, the Democratic nominee for the United States senate in 1932. The produce man’ fostered Ludlow's candidacy for congress in 1928 and was active again in the last campaign- Ludlow was the only winner on the ticket two years ago and the only winner Keach managed.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

on the eastern half of the country late this month has been subjected to a baptism of verbal Are even before taking off. Opposition to certain phases of; the air demonstration has come j from national guard units in Mary- ■ land and Massachusetts. New Jersey, New York, and California also have | raised some question about taking part. The war department said today, however, that the objections raised by these units had been met and that all would send ships to Dayton, 0., to fly in the vast formation. It is estimated that the maneuvers will cost about $3,000,000. President Hoover has invited war department officials to go to his Rapidan camp this week-end to , discuss possible ways in which the army may curtail expenses and thus

help reduce the government’s deficit. Army officers understand that the most strenuous objection to the maneuvers has centered in the Maryland national guard. Letters to the war department from the Maryland unit contended that when 672 planes fly in formation there almost are certdin to be crashes and fatalities. The critics pointed out, also, that the proposed maneuvers would be dangerous to civilians in thicklypopulated areas. Demonstrations are planned over New York City, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston and other centers. Other objections raised were that the maneuvers would concentrate all flying experience within two weeks, after which the guard units would have no money left for further activities. *
