VAN NUYS AND M'NUTT PLEDGE SETTER DEAL Democratic Candidates on Air in Rousing Start of Campaign. Indiana Democrats today marched toward the November election under the banners of progressive and liberal government, presented to them in the campaign opener Tuesday night by Frederick Van Nuys -and Paul V. Tl'cNutt, senatorial and Governor nominees. Addressing thousands of radio listeners over a three-station hookup, Van Nuys declared: ' If given opportunity, I will make this promise to the people of Indiana—that my vote and voice will be directed at all times against the St-angle hold of the ‘old guard’ upon the rights and privileges and op■portunities of the masses of American citizenship.'’ McNutt’s address outlined the processes whereby Indiana government would be made to serve all the people. Others Make Short Talks . The Democratic candidates were introduced by R. Earl Peters, state chairman, and short talks were made by Mrs. A. P. Flynn, vicechairman, and Mrs. Samuel Ralston, national committeewoman. A message was read from Thomas D. Taggart., national committeeman. Pointing to the record of the present administration, Van Nuys charged it with being the tool of special interests and privilege. "Practically all evils of our social, economic, and industrial systems today may be traced to the departure Os our government from its original purpose and design; namely, the vehicle and only the vehicle, for the preservation of the lives, the liber- ■ ties, an the happiness of the American people,” Van Nuys asserted. Pledges Farm Aid Reviewing the platform pledges, the senatorial nominee pledged his Vote and support and assured ihe “farm owners that my party will keep the faith with them in this, their hour of need.” He also declared for the shorter week, but without reduction of income. ‘ This must be a permanent policy and not a temporary expedient,” he averred. ■ Pledging anew deal for Indiana, McNutt declared; "The dominant issue of the state campaign is tax relief. The present burden of taxes is intolerable and unfair. Relief is imperative. Jt can not come from temporary expedients or from easy-going pretense that conditions arc better than they actually are. - “It must come from the courageous application of tw'o sound principles: First, strictest economy consistent with proper transaction of public business. This means reduction of the tax load in every division of government. Second, an equitable distribution of the tax burden. Praises Tax Measure ' Praising the tax limitation measure of $1.50 maximum, McNutt declared that some method must be forked out to place taxation in accordance with the ability to pay. ‘ Second only in importance to the question of taxation is the problem Cf public utilities,” he declared. “The statute books contain laws passed for the purpose of regulating I Ihe utilities. r “The Indiana public service commission w’as established to administer those laws, to protect the people from unjust rates, and to award fair returns to invested capital. Laws Held Unsatisfactory ; r “Neither the laws nor their ad-' ministration are satisfactory. We propose to revise the laws for the protection of (he consuming public, to remove all municipally owned utilities from jurisdiction of the commission, to provide more definite and equitable methods of enabling municipalities to acquire utility plants, either by purchase of existing privately owned utilities or construction of new plants. - "We also propose to bring all utility holding companies under full supervision of the commission and ' to make a complete change in the I personnel of the commission so it i may become a public agency which ttas as its chief purpose the com- I mon welfare of the people," McNutt pledged. “Other state ticket candidates made short talks.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

FIREMAN HELD NOT DRUNK ON DEATH DRIVE Cleared of Intoxication Charge in Trial Before Safety Board. Despite testimony of two policemen that John Fahey, city fireman, was drunk when the car he was driving struck and killed a park employe, Aug. 31, he was cleared of the drunkenness charge by the safety board today. Police Chief Mike Morrissey won a victory in his fight against policewomen when the board suspended for sixty days Mrs. Margaret Osborn, policewoman, convicted of neglect of duty and conduct unbecoming an officer in connection with her investigation of a minor i traffic accident. I The board's finding in Fahey's

case was made after Coroner William E. Arbuckle testified that he gmade a personal investigation at the accident scene, and smelled no liquor on Fahey's breath. At a preliminary hearing Tuesday, patrolmen Robert Murnan and Thomas Kergeris testified at Fahey was drunk, although they smelled no liquor on his breath, they said. Fahey has been bound over to the Marion county grand jury on a charge of involuntary' manslaughter. He pleaded not guilty to all charges. Testifying today. Coroner Arbuckle told the board that the only information he had of Fahey's alleged drunkenness was statements by the two policemen at the accident scene that Fahey was intoxicated. Asked why the drunk charge had been placed against the city firemen, Arbbckle declared he had or dered only a manslaughter charge against Fahey, who was held to the grand jury under $1,500 bond by Municipal Judge Clifton R. Cameron. Fahey's auto struck and fatally injured William Mankovitz. the city employe, while the latter was working in the 500 block on Fletcher ! avenue.

KIDNAPERS FREE RICH WISCONSIN SALOONKEEPER Payment of $25,000 Ransom Is Denied by Wealthy Kenosha Man. By United Press KENOSHA. Wis., Sept. 28.—Jess Minkowski, kidnaped Kenosha saloon keeper, was released unharmed today, he telephoned police. Although reported held for $25,000 ransom, Minkowski said he paid no money for his release. He refused to say where he was freed and would give no details of his capture. Suspect Is Arrested CHICAGO. Sept. 28—A quickwitted telephone girl today enabled police to arrest a suspect in the kidnaping of Jess Minkowski, 40,

wealthy Kenosha (Wis.) soft drink parlor owner. The man arrested was Ray Nolan, 32, Chicago, who identified himself as an automobile salesman. He was arrested at a telephone booth in the Chicago. Aurora <fc Elgin station at Glen Ellyn, a Chicago suburb. Police seized him after a hurried trip to the station in response to a call from .Anna Morris, a telephone operator, who informed them a person at the station was trying to place a call to Minkowski's home. Nolan denied calling the Kenosha number. Telephone operators had been warned to watch for a call to the Kenosha number after a mysterious telephone call to the Minkowski home earlier in the evening had given the first intimation the soft drink man had been kidnaped. The call was traced to Wheaton, not far from Glen Ellyn. "We’ve got Jess,’’ the caller said. ‘Tell his brother Joe to get $25,000 ready by tonight.” Minkowski apparently had been in the hands of his kidnapers since Monday night, when he left his place of business intending to return shortly.
