DISMISSAL OF UTILITY'S PLEA TO BE ASKED Singleton Writes Order on Power Loop Plan for Northern Indiana. BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY Dismissal of the Northern Indiana Power Company petition to establish a central Indiana pow<y loop with standardized rates, similar to one established temporarily in southern Indiana, was to be asked of public service commissioners today. The dismissal order was written by Commissioner Frank Singleton, following attempt of the commission to get the Insull company to withdraw the petition. The Northern Indiana Power Company supplies 185 communities and rural areas in central Indiana with electricity. Among the larger towns sre Kokom.o, NoblesvUle ; Rochester, Wabash. Clinton, Martinsville. Huntington, Sullivan. Jasonville, Greerrcastle and Attica. Cuthbertson to Object Opposition to the dismissal petition is expected to be voiced by Commissioner Harry K. Cuthbcrtson. who obtained passage for the order establishing the ‘ south" system. Chairman John W. McCardle may join Cuthbertson, and, if passed, the order likely wili be supported by Commissioners Singleton, Howell, Ellis and Jcre West. West recently has switched from MrCardle's leadership and joined with Ellis and Singleton, converting the minority membership of the commission into a majority. In the dismissal order, Singleton rites the Martinsville decision of the federal court, which sets up the local community as the unit in rate making. Quotes Wabash Decision He also quotes from a recent decision of the Wabash circuit court in the North Manchester case in which the right of a local community to cut in on a big power loop with municipal ownership is upheld. Originally, the Northern Indiana Power petition was assigned by McCardle to Cuthbertson. Upon objection, voiced by Ellis, it was reassigned to Singleton. Ellis’ objection was based on the fact that, Singleton already had been assigned rate reduction petitions filed from various communities involved in the petition. The dismissal order declares that to approve w’ould mean increased revenues for the Indiana Power Company. AID GRADUATES ON JOBS Questionnaire Issued by Head of Vocational Committee.

"TT was impossible for me to over--1 come the opposition of Senator Watson and hi senemies."—Statement of Bert Thurman, following G. O. P. state convention. Through Indiana today there speeds the watchword. “Put not your trust in senators." and at his home in Indianapolis sits a man, broken-hearted, not because he failed of the Republican Governor nomination, but because he was failed by a senator for whom he gave the best efforts of his life. Delegates to the Republican state convention, to whom the ordinary ties of friendship and gratitude mean something, today verbally were pillorying Senator James E. Watson, who until yesterday was knowm familiarly as "Promising Jim,” but who, from now on, will be hailed as ' Double-Crossing Jim," In 1928. when Watson determined on another try for the presidency, he called in his devoted friend, M. Bert Thurman, and asked him to manage his campaign. Thurman, who already had begun work upon his own drive for Governor, laid aside his own ambitions and answered the call of the man he idolized. a it it At that time Watson, they tell me, promised Bert that he would back him for the Governor nomination four years hence. Gullible Bert believed the man whom he worshiped, forgetting for the nonce that it w r as “Promising Jim” who spoke. Os the presidential campaign, It is enough to say that, no matter how easily fooled the people of the nation may be at times, they couldn’t swallow Watson. From time to time during the ensuing four years. "Promising Jim" promised Bert that he would be there pitching for him when 1932 rolled around. I

In January of this year, when Bert was ready to announce for the nomination, his "dear friend” Senator Jim had been putting his feet to the fire for months to get him to resign as national committeeman. On Feb. 28 this column said: "It looks very much as if the well-known double—not play, but cross—may be put into effect with malice aforethought against Thurman. who last week resigned the national committee post to vie for the Republican nomination for Governor. n u n "Not that a double cross Is such a strange thing in Indiana politics, but it generally had been conceded that so astute a politician as Uncle Bert never would become its victim. "Participants in the move are said to the tw r o Jims of Indiana Republican politics—Senator Jim Watson and ex-Governor Jim Goodrich. "They w’hisper it in Gath that Governor Jim has run up quite a telephone bill persuading Senator Jim that he should drop his faithful adherent of years, Thurman, and sponsor the Governor race of Raymond Springer of Connersville, ex-circuit judge and ex-state commander of the American Legion.” And so on. Well, it has come to pass, as doped on Feb. 26. The gentleman has made a motion to change the title of Indiana’s , senior senator from "Promising Jim" to "Double-Crossing Jim.” Do we hear a second? There is a chorus of seconds. A motion to make it unanimous has been presented and, inasmuch as there be no dissenting vote, the chair orders it spread cf record. "Senator James E. Watson known !in Indian?, as "Double-Crossing 1 Jim.”
