JUDGE MISCAST ’ IN HERO ROLE, OPPONENTS SAY New Light Is Flashed on Wilkerson’s Course in Capone Case. BY RAY TUCKER Time# *t(f Writer WASHINGTON. April 8.-Confir-mation of President Hoover's appointment of District Judge James H Wilkrrson of Chicago to the circuit court, will be opposed by the senate Judiciary subcommittee, which has beaun considering qualifications of the jurist, it was reported today. Wilkcrson has been oppos'd bitterly by organized labor and similar agencies for signing the 1522 shopmens Injunction without holding a hearing, while he has been supported by conservative Chicago interests because of the courage he is reported to have shown in sentencing A1 Capone to prison for a long term. The controversy centering around him has been the most exciting since the senate refused to confirm Judge John J. Parker for the supreme court. Three Oppose Appointment It is understood that at least three members of the subcommittee will vote against Wilkerson. They are said to be the three liberal members—Walnh 'Dem., Mont.), Dill <Dem., Wash.) and Blaine (Rep., Wts.). Borah, who is chairman, has not made known his attitude, while Robinson <Rep„ Ind.) is expected to favor the nominee. Chairman Norris of the full committee predicts that Ihe senate will not ratify the nomination. The testimony of George E. Q. Johnson, Chicago district attorney, concerning the agreement under which Capone was to have received a light term, has hurt Wilkerson. It has, in the, opinion of members of the subcommittee, competely destroyed the picture of him as a brave judge defying the gangsters and refusing to sanction any contract between the government, and the merchant of vice. At the time Cnpone was to be sentenced. Johnson said, AttorneyGeneral Mitchell had agreed to a light sentence in view of the governments failure to get in touch with several key witnesses. Tears Halo Off Head Wilkerson, however, denounced this arrangement, and announced that Capone would not be lpt off easily through any such bargain. The judge eventually sentenced the gangsters to prison for eleven years, whereas the original compromise was two and a half years. Instead of resenting the compromise, Johnson testified, Wilkerson at first agreed to it, and broke it only because of Capone's effrontery in making the announcement of the two and a half year sentence before the court did. . “Capone was convicted for his crimes, and not for blabbing,’’ commented one subcommittee member, “and he should have been sentenced on the basis of what had been I brought out in court.’’ “This tears the halo from Judge | Wilkerson's head.” Norris commented.

Here's Ben Bernie With Hot New Limerick Hunch

— ——

BY BEN BERNIE (The Old Maestro Himself) Today begins our “Back to Prosperity with Bernie Drive” and I hope you like It. Yessir, Benny's a patriot, and he’s been sitting up nights figuring out a way to help the government in its anti-hoarding campaign. That’s how I got this Prosperity Limerick Idea and I think it's a swell way to kill two birds with one poem. The contest gives the old maestro a chance to put a little money in circulation—which ought to please congress, and my Republican supporters. Besides that, to satisfy the Democrats, I can use the space which The Times so kindly has allotted to me to spread some antihoarding ballyhoo. Here’s the Idea Os course, understand that anything I might say about not saving your money shouldn't be taken seriously until next, Sunday, when the lads and I play Indianapolis. Youse guys bet ter start hoarding for Bernie right now . . . and begin your prosperity spending spree Sunday night at the Indiana roof ballroom. Here's the idea of the contest. You probably have heard the old maestro and his lads play "Limericks,” the comedy song novelty, on one of our broadcasts. It’s a great tune and writing limericks is great sport. But just to make this contest easy for you, it won’t be necessary to write a whole limerick. Every day this week, up to and including Saturday. I'm going to write the first four lines of a different prosperity limerick, and all you have to do is make up a last line to win a prize. Mark Day on Envelope Either clip it out and write your last line on the newspaper clipping, or copy on a separate sheet of paper and add your original last line. Mark each limerick you submit on the outside of the envelope, according to the day it runs in The Times. For instance, today’s limerick will say “Wednesday” on the envelope. There is no limit to the number of limericks you may submit. There will be a daily prize of two tickets for the dance the lads and myself are going to play Sunday night at the Indiana ballroom. I’ll dig into the money I hoarded in my coffers before this campaign and give $lO to the writer of the best, limerick submitted for the four days. Old Maestro Bernie, himself, will present his hoarded gold to lucky writers at the Indiana ballroom Sunday night. Then, to make it more exciting, the lads will play “Limericks” at the ballroom and I'll mutter the winning verses in my Back-to-Pros-perity baritone. Try This Limerick If you’re not at the dance, boys and girls, it’s your own fault. Grab a pencil right now. get the old brain working, make up a last line for the Old Maestro, and send it to the Contest Editor, The Times. Here’s a sample limerick: Oh. whv shonlfl the whol* world hi* Irarful? Hi*r*' sitnshlnr. * whole eve and e*rfiil. Thnnvh w* haven't mnrh dnneh. Still, with hfir* *0 low. rvfcRYTHtNr. rs ok at.

the old maestro will refund your admission. If you can't stand my unwashed baritone and don’t like the lads’ dance music, just leave your limerick at the ballroom box office and we’ll give you $lO. anyhow—if you have the winning limerick.

BY BEN STERN ONE thing to the credit of the Marion county Republican organization dominated by George V. Coffin is the celerity with which it swings into action. Although only four days have elapsed since end of the primary filing period, the boys in the trenches know the slate by heart. Here it is, according to them, for your reference. “The delegates will vote for Ed Bush as first choice for Governor and James M. Ogden as second choice. “William Henry Harrison is to be our candidate for the congressional nomination in the Twelfth and Fred Dickermap in the Eleventh, and Judge Harry O. Chamberlin for the circuit court bench.” But Coffin is taking Harrison and Chamberlin, not because he likes the two, or has entered into any agreement with them, but because he needs them to add respectability to his ticket this fall. The remainder of the slate is recited as follows: L. Lyn Logsdon for county treasurer and John O. Lewis for prosecutor. And last, but not least, Orel Chitwood for sheriff. n n tt For years Omer Hawkins has been the fair-haired boy of the Coffin organization. As sheriff, as county highway superintendent, as jailer and as county chairman, he always has been Coffin's man Friday, and this time he thought that he again* should be the nominee for sheriff. 'At a meeting one night last week in the office of Schuyler Haas, old Seventh district chairman, the slate was selected. Chitwood, according to the dope, laid the better part of $1,500 on the line and received the assurance that he would be the preferred one for the sheriff nomination. On the way out,. Hawkins vented his ire and declared that he should and would be a candidate for the nomination. a o a. Right then and there he was shorn of power, for Hawkins was at once notified that he was ousted as Washington township chairman, in favor of William D. Bain. Other changes went into effect also. Seth Ward, who wants to be the nominee for congress from the Twelfth, was deposed (he says resigned* as Third ward chairman and the old wheelhorse Billy Hamilton is in charge. Thomas C. Whallon, old Sixth ward Coffin chairman, was notified that Tom McNulty has that job. Incidentally. Ed Hart, Junior Republican leader, recently named Fourth ward chairman by Coffin to replace Hamilton, and Oscar H. Smith, is being talked about for the figurehead honor of county chairman.

VALUES ’ * • • t A New Idea For Auto Buyers Certified Values Guaranteed by the Dealer and The Indianapolis Times to be Genuine Values at the Price Advertised...No Misrepresentations

CERTIFIED USED CAR VALUES is a NEW IDEA planned for the protection of the used car buyer when he steps into a salesroom to consider the purchase of another automobile. It is an accepted fact that the TRUE WORTH of any automobile is the unused mileage, considered in conjunction with the car’s physical and mechanical qualities. The fact that a certain portion of an automobile’s mileage has been delivered for a former owner DOES NOT DETRACT from its desirability as a useful piece of merchandise. Each year, the automobile manufacturers of America offer to the public their new creations. In the majority of instances the buyers of new cars trade in their model through a desire to possess the newer

makes or due to the fact that they have obtained what they consider is sufficient mileage or transportation. Consequently, it is NOT UNUSUAL to find cars on a dealer’s floor with 80 per cent or MORE of the mileage UNUSED for about 50 per cent of the first selling price. The used car buyer makes his purchase through a desire to save or possess a finer car at a smaller investment Therefore . . . THRIFT and PRIDE of FINER POSSESSION are the dominating factors in the purchase of a used car.

officer of the federation. Tuesday charged the Pitman-Moore Company with purchasing stolen dogs and mistreating them in operations for serums and toxins. The company's officials and Dr. Showley Regenos, laboratory director, denied charges and declared their laboratories are under direct supervision of the United States bureau of animal industry and open for inspection at all times. Hargon attempted to file charges i Tuesday afternoon, but returned to ; Indianapolis when Fertig was unable to see him. Today Hargon conferred with Fertig, who refused to enter charges until he has investigated the case. “Nothing will be done,” Fertig told The Times, “until I have had a chance to Investigate this thing thoroughly.” Hargon charged use of animals in laboratory work is inhumane and described methods used as “torture.” Dr. Regenoe countered with the statement that the Pitman-Moore

methods are standard throughout the world and that most of the progress in the field of science has been accomplished with experimentation on animals. "The Pitman-Moore Company has been in business for many years ” said Dr. Regenos, “and the most important step in the development of our serums and toxins come* in the care of our animals. “Our animals must be kept healthy and clean. As far as our operations go there is no pain. Charges of the humane officer are unfounded and untrue.” HINDENBURG FAVORITE Bp United Prett BERLIN, April B.—President Paul von Hindenburg was a 3 to 1 favorite today to win Sunday's runoff presidential election, although politicians forecast that Adolph Hitler would cut the 7,000,000 vote lead Hindenburg held over him In the first presidential poll.

However, when the buyer steps into a salesroom to inspect a used car (and remember, every car driven an hour or a year is a USED CAR) his chief concern is what part of the transportation mileage has been used and what percentage still remains. His mind dwells on such thoughts as . . “has the speedometer been turned back?” . . . “is the motor doped or what?” . . . It was expressly for the purpose of eliminating any such possible risk or apprehension that the Reliable Dealers of Indianapolis under the sponsorship of The Indianapolis Times planned the idea of CERTIFIED USED CAR VALUES. In a few words, CERTIFIED VALUES offer every used car buyer a standard of value or guide by which to judge the kind of car he wants at the price he is willing to pay. When you see a car advertised as a CERTIFIED VALUE . . . you know that car is
