CHARGE GREENLEE INJECTING POLITICS INTO RELIEF JOBS McNutt Aid Giving- Federal Road Labor Work in Shelby County to ‘Deserving Democrats,’ Farmer Claims. REPUBLICAN FIRED, IS REPORT Tractors Used Instead of Teams, Contrary to Agreement; Intra-Party War Flares Over ‘Patronage.’ BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer “Are you a Greenlee Democrat?” This query is said to have been addressed to the pick and shovel workers for the state highway department on their public works program m Shelby county. Shelbyville is the home town of Pleas Greenlee, patronage secretary to Governor Paul V. McNutt, and battle lines have been drawn there between the “old guard” and ‘boy scouts” in the Democratic party. Pearl Hungerford, a farmer who donated part of the right-of-way on State Road 9, south of Shelbyville, is a “John DePrez Democrat.”

That means, m Shelbyville, that he is a member of the old guard and anti-Greenlee. He came to Indianapolis today to complain about patronage being injected into the job relief. Last week he said he laid the matter before members of the state highway commission. Republican Is “Fired” His story is that a Republican road superintendent was removed from Shelby county when the relief work began anda "Greenlee Democrat.” named Earl Arbuckle, took his place. Now Arbuckle travels over the roads accompanied by one Fred Deitzer, who asks the workers the question. Mr. Hungerford said. He also charged that it had been agreed that teams be used and trucks have been substituted. Evan Stotsenburg. state highway commissioner, said that this latter point was the one taken up with him when Mr. Hungerford called at the highway commission headquarters. He learned that teams were to have been taken from those who had donated the land for the right-of-way and ordered that this pledge be kept, he said. Greenlee Admits Battle Mr. Greenlee admitted that a bitter political battle is being waged in his county. But he said that the highway commission rules to draw all men. regardless of party, from the relief rolls to carry on the road work, is being carried out. "Mr. Weitzer is a political contact man,” he freely declared. "But no one ever has been fired for not being a Democrat and I know he never asks if they are GreenleeDemocrats.” He then went on to explain that the "old guard” has been very anti-McNutt and charged that tne family of Gordon Thurston. Shelby county Democratic chairman, have been "hogging the public payroll for years.” - Outside "Public Works” "We intend to break that up and spread the work around.” he declared. Mr. Greenlee then cited the highway commission rule which places all teamsters, truckmen, foremen and the like on the public works jobs outside the "no politics” provision. The "no politics" applies only to relief men. he said, and indicated that the other jobs will go to "deserving Democrats.” CASTLETON MAN HURT Suffers Back Injuries, Lacerations in Car Crash Here.

Spanish diplomat * and brother of the famed Marquis de Murrieta, Spain's wine king, has returned from an unsuccessful moose hunt in Canada. A group of friends met him at the station to help carry the antlers. “Alas, it was after the moose calling season,” explained Olivares. “You mean you wanted to call on the moose before you shot it?”

asked a sticKier ior protocol. He was .quickly snubbed. Resourceful Olivares brought back something more valuable than a moose. It was a bottle of his own Marques de Murrieta wine. “I drink my own," he smiled, as the bottle opened with a pop. “Who cares about moose steak?” exclaimed a wine connoisseur, emptying his glass. Sportsman Olivares was forced to hunt two more bottles with a corkscrew. His friends pronounced him the most successful hunter in the diplomatic corps. Note—En route back to the United States from the Lac St. Jean region of Canada, Sportsman Olivares met William Goulcf Brokaw, a friend of President Roosevelt, who now lives in Paris.

William C. Bullitt, the “diplomatic boy wonder” of the state department

By B'eripps-Howard Xewspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Nov. 18.—With almost the same breath he used to announce Russian recognition, President Roosevelt let it be known that his first ambassador to Moscow would be William Christian Bullitt, “boy wonder” of the state department. Bullitt is a tall, solidly-built, bald, zestful Individual of 42, twice married, twice divorced. He used to be a newspaper man. He comes from ritzy Rittenhouse square in Philadelpha, and made Phi Beta Kappa at Yale. He went on the staff of a Philadelphia newspaper. He was one of the voyagers on Henry Ford's Peace Ship in 1915. In 1918, at the age of 27, he was special adviser to President Wilson and prepared tl\e data which the President used in his now famous addresses on the war and for the even more historic fourteen points which led to the armistice. President Wilson took young Bullitt with him to the Paris peace conference in 1918. And it was “Bill” Bullitt whom he selected as his special envoy to this same Russia. Bullitt has spent the last ten years rattling

Butler’s North Central Eligibility Is Safe Until Spring, Says High Official

BY JOHN B. MILLER Times Special Writer CHICAGO, Nov. 18.— Butler university's good standing as a member of the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools will not be reconsidered by the latter's executive committee in session here today, it was learned. Furthermore, any action seeking to withdraw that Indiana school’s North Central eligibility because of the recent dismissal of Dr. Walter Scott Athearn as president, can not be instituted at least until nex* spring. Dr. George A. Works of the declared. “The question of Butler university’s education status as a member of North Central can not come up

The Greeks smoked gold-tipped cigarets, ornamented with a gilt star and crescent. Someone told a Turkish joke during the dinner that preceded the dance. Dr. P. S. Constantinople (of Greek extraction, incidentally) was toastmaster. A guest insisted his name should be modernized to Istanbul. •‘Well, it's all Greek to me.” muttered a waiter, as he served the turkey. Graeco - Turkish friendship seemed assured. * a * SCENTED Chinese tea has become a feature of afternoon tea at the White House. Mme. Sao-Ke Alfred Sze. wife of the Chinese minister, recently bought some of it for President Roosevelt. Mrs Rxisevelt had told her that the President wasn't enjoying his afternoon tea because the White House had run out of its supply of the particular grade which the Roosevelt family has been using for generations. Mme. Sze not only shopped for scented tea—she shopped vigorously., Asa result, the White House received a supply of every existing Chinese variety. The name of the tea which the President particularly fancied is King Chow Kongo. Mme. Sze reported that certain New York merchants can supply it. Note—a gift from an old Chinese merchant to President Roosevelt’s grandfather started the tea habit in the Roosevelt family. It has singe been unbroken.

before our meeting today,” Dr. Works asserted. “Obviously, it would be a violation of our rules.” Removal from the accredited list of the North Central Association a second time within four years, some faculty members and students of the school feared, would prove a serious handicap to Butler. Beyond the possibility of a drop in enrollment in the face of economic hardships, which also have hit similar colleges, students' would immediately be denied credit transfer privileges in recognized universities of a higher rating. Attempting to allay fears of some members of the Butler faculty and student body, Dr. Works said that no investigating committee has been appointed to look into the dismissal situation. “Our agenda for today’s executive meeting does not include any discussion of the Butler standing, and as a result no action can be taken,” he said. “Only through a special appeal to the association, could the question be properly

I like this bangtail every time he goes and they will have to beat Him farther than they have been to get me off the old boy.

Roosevelt during the war, and came out in his support during the last campaign, working for the New York headquarters of the Democratic national committee. Last January, Bullitt bobbed up again in Europe, and the United States senate rang with cries that he was representing President-Elect Roosevelt and spreading debt-cancellation propaganda throughout Europe. What he probably was doing was finding out how European countries liked their relations with Russia. Roosevelt flatly denied that Bullitt was in any way representing the President-elect, and Bullitt swore he was just traveling around, meeting old friends, and writing a book on diplomacy, which he should be well qualified to do. But on his return, Bullitt was given his present post at the state department. Now he’s the honorable ambassador to Russia.

RUSSIA, RECOGNIZED BY US, PREPARED TO SPEND $350,000,000 NEXT YEAR

rami TRIUMPH Ft* iomtk U. S. and Russia Emerge From Parley With Flying Colors. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scripps-Howard Foreien Editor WASHINGTON. Nov. 18.—Restoration of full diplomatic relations between the United States and Russia today was hailed as a major triumph for President Roosevelt and Foreign Commissar Maxim Litvinoff. For sixteen years and ten days people had been saying it could not be done without the United States giving way on vitally important points. Yet it was accomplished—and a full set of documents is there to prove itr-without either country ceding an inch on a single question or principle. Both emerged from the discussions with flying colors. “The hopes which I have cherished for sixteen years have been realized,’’ said Mr. Litvinoff afterwards. “I feel sure that the many possibilities for economic co-opera-tion between our two countries will be made use of in full. I also feel that our action will have the most beneficial effect for the cause of world peace.” Even on the touchiest of all the issues—that of “Red propaganda’’ in the United States—the President obtained satisfaction so thorough as to be proof against any criticism. Complete religious freedom was categorically demanded for Americans in Russia, and just as unreservedly granted by the Soviet Union, while Americans arrested there are guaranteed against arbitrary treatment. All Claims Refuted ~ Claims which Russia might have against the United States on account of intervention in that country during the revolution were waived by Moscow, while American claims against Russia were, left open for negotiation and settlement. Such, in brief, are the terms of recognition. Coincident with this the White House announced that William C. Bullitt, brilliant young special assistant to the secretary of state and authority on Russia, had been seelcted as first United States ambassador to Moscow. Previous administrations have claimed that Russian recognition was out of the question because of “red” propaganda. It was claimed that Moscow, tongue in cheek, might agree not to attemtp to plant the red flag on the White House, but the Third Internationale, or the Communist party, which runs Moscow, would continue to make trouble. President Roosevelt, in an exchange of notes with Commissar Litvinoff, has refuted completely such claims. He obtained an airtight guarantee against any and every sort of interference with the institutions of this country. Air Tight Guarantee “It will be the fixed policy of the government of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics,” said the Russian foreign minister: 1. “To respect scrupulously the indisputable right of the United States to order its own life within its own jurisdiction in its own way and to refrain from interfering in any manner in the internal affairs of the United States, its territories and possessions. 2. “To refrain, and to restrain all persons in government service and all organizations of the government or under its direct or indirect control, including organizations in receipt of any financial assistance from it, from any act overt or covert liable in any way whatsoever to injure the tranquility, prosperity, order or security of the whole or any part of the United States, its territories or possessions.” In particular, this extremely explicit paragraph goes on to state, does the Soviet Union intend to refrain “from any fact tending to incite or encourage armed intervention, or any agitation or propaganda havin gas its aim the violation of the territorial integrity of the United States, its territories or possessions, or the brinking about by force of a change in the political or social order, of the whole or any part of the United States.” Agreement Is Explicit 3. This section pledges the Soviet Union not to permit groups or organizations of any kind to form on American territory under Soviet auspices for such purposes as the above, to all of which the President replies in kind, making the pledge mutual. The agreement on religious liberty to be enjoyed by American citizens on Russian soil is no less explicit. Mr. Litvinoff fully conceded Americans the religious rights demanded, pointing out that by law in Russia “every person may profess any religion or none,” maintain churches and observe their religious rites Unmolested. Legal protection is guaranteed American citizens, who become involved criminally in Russia, and most-favored-nation treatment will be accorded them. If arrested, within a stated time they have the right to communicate.with and be visited by an Americah consul.

Rapid Growth of Soviet-American Trade Appears Likely to Be First Fruits of Agreement. LITVINOFF ELATED BY RESULTS Communist Party Pledges Not to Use Propaganda; Siberian Invasion Claims Are Waived. By United Press WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.—A rapid growth of SovietAmerican trade and new alignments in world politics appeared today as the likely first fruits of renewed diplomatic relations between Washington and Moscow. Happy following his greatest diplomatic victory which put two of the world’s most powerful nations on official speaking acquaintance after sixteen years of nonrecognition, Foreign Commissar Maxim Litvinoff sought today to complete arrangements for trade. He was expected to confer during the next few days with officials of RFC and other government economic agencies. That America would aid this trade development with substantial credits was generally accepted. Recognition of the Soviet Union was announced by President Roosevelt at the White House, just before he left for a vacation at Warm Springs, Ga., last night. Mr. Roosevelt announced at the same time that he would appoint William C. Bullitt, Philadelphia, as the first American ambassador to Russia. Mr. Bullitt now is special assistant to Secretary of State Cordell Hull. Only a few hours after the White House announcement, Mr. Litvinoff, hitherto silent, met more than one hundred correspondents at the National Press Club. He wore a red necktie and his face was wreathed in smiles. The commissar declared that recognition was not a formal gesture but the portent of real friendship between the United States and the Soviet Union.

Earlier, the state department had begun placing the laurels of recognition on the Soviet’s brow. Robert F. Kelly, chief of the eastern European division of the state department, escorted Mr. Litvinoff to the palatial embassy of the Russian imperial government on Sixteenth street and officially placed it in his hands. No Longer Recognized Acting Secretary of State Phillips, meanwhile, informed Serge Ughet, financial attache of the old Russian embassy, and the Russian consuls in Boston, Chicago and Seattle, that they no longer were recognized in their official capacities. Mr. Litvinoff plans to remain here for several days more. He is expected to devote attention to a proposed $75,000,000 credit from the R. F C. to the Soviet Union for the purchase of American goods. A recent state department study indicated that Russia, if given the proper credits, was prepareed to spend $350,000,000 here during the next year. Adjustment of debts and claims, or at least a search for methods of adjustment, also was on Mr. Litvinoff’s calendar. Agreed on Thursday No arrangement was made in the documents signed by the commissar and Mr. Roosevelt affecting the $187,000,000 debt of the Kerensky regime to the United States treasury; the $75,000,000 debt of imperial Russia to United States bankers, or the $410,000,000 worth of private American claims against Russia. Although it was not announced at the time, recognition was agreed upon at 11:50 p: m. Thursday, when at the White oHuse the two officials exchanged letters. These letters were among eight exchanges of documents in which the Soviet Union guaranteed the United States that it would not sponsor propaganda here, and that it would insure Americans freedom of worship in Russia.
