FOES DISCOUNT PETER'S CLAIMS IN SENATE RACE Dr. McCulloch Disclosed as ‘Dark Horse/ Minton Speaks Nightly. BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY Time* Staff tVHtfr With R. Earl Peters, Ft. Wayne, claiming 1,438 delegates supporting him for the Democratic nomination for United States senator <despite the fact that the primary election has not yet been held), opposition forces continued today to ponder alternatives. They are unconvinced of Mr. Peters' claimed strength, declare no accurate estimate can be made until after delegates are elected, and point out that it is unnecessary to claim ao many, since but 1,075 are needed for the nomination. Governor Paul V. McNutt remains Sphinxlike, adhering to his announced policy of “hands off,” except for his opposition to Mr. Peters. Others in the Race *o the field remains open to speculation. Here are some of the surmises as ! to what might happen: Dr. Carleton B. McCulloch, who succeeded Mr. Peters as Democratic state chairman, might be selected as the “dark horse” nominee. Dr. McCulloch already has announced he will retire from the chairmanship at the committee reorganization in May. Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan to be brought out with backing of Senator Frederick Van Nuys and settled upon as a compromise candidate. Congressman Louis Ludlow to be nominated to attract Republican and dry votes. Man ion May Get Chance Clarence Manion, Notre Dame law professor and 1932’keynote speaker, to be backed by both McNutt administration and Mr. Peters’ forces <should the latter fail to click himpolf) and the long debated matter as to whether a Catholic liberal can be elected senator from Indiana brought to the fore, particularly with Senator Arthur R. Robinson, dry product of the Ku-Klux Klan era. being the Republican nominee. Choose Clarence R. Jackson, state gross income tax collector, with the design of attracting strength from Senator Robinson in the veteran and klan groups. Mr. Jackson was one time state commander of the American Legion. Along with these alternatives, there are other announced candidates in the field, who are advancing various claims. Minton Campaigns Nightly Sherman Minton, public counselor, w ho was thought originally to have been a Governor McNutt candidate, but now is being labeled as the candidate for Pleas Greenlee, McNutt patronage secretary, is basing a nightly campaign upon the record of the state administration, as well as the Roosevelt government. His backers point out that his tactics are opposite from those of Mr. Peters who is capitalizing upon the anti-McNutt sentiment. Therefore, they assert, the Governor should give him the “go sign.” Harvey Cole, Peru attorney, is still in the race, having been brought out with the label of Judge Michael ,E. Fansler of the supreme court and the McNutt lieutenant, Attorney Frank McHale. May Lift Entrance Fee Former Congressman George Rauch, Marion: W. N. White, Covington, and Robert Proctor, Elkhart, are others already announced. There is even talk of the state committee lifting the SSOO convention entrance fee and letting every one become a senatorial candidate who can muster a delegate’s vote. Senator Van Nuys also remains silent and follows the •‘hands-off” policy. Mr. Greenlee filed slates in various counties and continues to manipulate the pay rollers. Should the statehouse job men be joined by the federal patronage, it is likely that they jointly will control the convention and it will be “Peters against the pay roll.” Stump Also a Prospect In these times, when jobs are scarce, they are expected to be very effective. One more alternative might b added to the list. It could bear the label “Peters' alternative.” It would be to nominate Albert Stump, twice a candidate and reported to have beaten the former Senator James E Watson once, but for the Lake i county counting. Dr. McCulloch also has been through two campaigns for the governorship. and his following combines both the old-timers and the McNutt crop, it is pointed out. VETERANS OF STRAYER POST WILL CONVENE ‘House-Warming’ of New Quarters Scheduled Wednesday. A “house-warming” will be held Wednesday night in the lodge room of Ftank T. Strayer post.

STARTED NEW POLICY

Oriental First of Neighborhood Lodges

This is the fifteenth of a series of histories of Marion County Masonie blue lodges which is being published each Monday in The Times. A history of Brookside lodge will be published next week. CHARTERED on May 25, 1875, Oriental lodge No. 500, Free and Accepted Masons, introduced into Indianapolis the idea of neighborhood lodges. Today, nearly sixty years later, it and many similar bodies testify to the sound judgment of Oriental's founders. Now located at Central avenue and East Twenty-second street, the lodge had its inception in the office of Barnard, Johnson &s Cos., where seventeen men met to sign the petition, dated April 25, 1874, which requested dispensation for Oriental to organize as a blue lodge. These seventeen signers, the real founders of the lodge, were John M. Bramwell. M. R. Barnard. C. M. Randall, A. W. Bronson, E. E. Ritter, W. V. Hawk. H. C. Griffin, George W. Powell, R. TANARUS, Brown. J. A. Humphreys. G. W. Alexander. J. D. Morris. J. F. Council. C. P. Jacobs, T. O. Morris. David Powell and Hugh B. Hickson. Lucien A. Foote, then most worshipful grand master of the grand lodge of Indiana, appointed John Caven of Mystic Tie lodge as his special deputy to visit the petitioners and investigate their Masonic proficiency and their standing in the community. Having found them to be possessed of the necessary qualifications, Mr. Caven recommended that their petition be granted, and on June 17, 1874, the lodge met to complete its organization under a dispensation which had been granted five days earlier. The meeting place was Oriental’s first home, located on the third floor'of the William Buschmann block, Ft. Wayne avenue and East Tenth street, which was then called St. Mary's street. The site in those days was well in the outskirts of the city. M. R. Barnard was elected Oriental's first worshipful master, but a peculiar twist in Masonic law, since rectified, deprived him of that honor before he was installed in office. He was a member of a lodge in New York where the order's jurisprudence required an application for affiliation with another lodge before dimit could be granted from the first. On the other hand Indiana regulations demanded that a difhit accompany an application for affiliation. Mr. Bernard thus automatically became ineligible, and those installed as Oriental’s first officers were Charles P. Jacobs, worshipful master: Daniel Waite Howe, senior warden; Joseph A. Humphreys, junior warden; William V. Haw r k, treasurer; John M. Bramwell, secretary; John J. Traub, senior deacon, no junior deacon is recorded; George W. Moore and James T. Layman, stewards, and John Hardwick, tyler. a an THE first member to be initiated passed and raised by the lodge was Worth Wright, who received the three degrees on July 22, 1874, Jan. 27 and March 24, 1875, respectively. In 1891, during the administration of Martin M. Hugg as master, the building in which Oriental rented its quarters changed hands and the new- owner wished to remodel it. The lodge, forced to move, met for the next three and one-half years in the rooms of Mystic Tie lodge, then situated in the old Masonic temple. West Washington street and Capitol avenue, whidh was later destroyed by fire. Oriental next moved to more

CODE MAY REGULATE FAIR CONCESSIONS Church and Other Groups Affected by NR A Ruling. The NR A restaurant code will govern churches and church organizations which operate food serving establishments at the Indiana state fair, unless dispensation is granted before the fair, according to a ruling by the NR A compliance division in Washington received by Fred Hoke, state compliance director. What this will mean in actual practice, however, is open to doubt, since the code provides that retail sales shall not be made below cost, but most of the materials for these church organizations is donated. Furthermore the code regulates working hours and wages, but most of the work is done by members who will not come under the code. The reply to Mr. Hoke's question stated that exemption of such organizations by administrative order was expected soon. 16 GET DIPLOMAS AT CITY BIBLE INSTITUTE 23d Annual Commencement Held in Englewood Church. Diplomas were awarded to sixteen persons last night at the twentythird annual commencement of the Indianapolis Bible institute in the Englewood Christian church. Graduates were: Ida Best. Rex Best. Pearl Borror. Gertrude Bunee. Clara I. Clark. Russell Doles. Helen French. Albert C. Gunther. Ruth Honaker, Alma Iske. Ruth Lamkins. Ruth Schaefer, Clara Southern. Maud I. Steele, Jasper T. Warner and Allen C. Watson. Honorary degrees of doctor of divinity were conferred upon Frank S. Kerner, Harry C. Lince and Stewart L Long.

commodious quarters at College avenue and East Eleventh street, which at that time was called Christian avenue. There August W. Buschmann, owner of the building, had added a third story designed for use of the lodge. The first meeting in this location was held Jan. 8. 1895, at the close of the administration of Charles A. Nicoli as master. He was succeeded by Edward A. Moore, present secretary of the lodge, who served two successive terms, the first beginning Jan. 15, 1895. tt tt tt npo accommodate its growing X membership Oriental finally bought the ground at its present location and built a temple in which the first meeting was held on Feb. 18, 1916, while Warren S. Gibson was worshipful master. Today the temple still is considered one of the finest buildings in the United States devoted exclusively to the use of one lodge. The lodge room, which is luxuriously equipped, has an appearance appropriate to the name of its lodge, suggestion of which, incidentally, is credited to Charles P. Jacobs, Oriental’s first master. * Among the many prominent Indianapolis citizens who have been Oriental members was Charles Warren Fairbanks, who was raised in 1904 while John T. Saulter was worshipful master. Mr. Fairbanks was at that time Vice-President of the United States in the administration of Theodore Roosevelt. Mr. Fairbanks received his first degree at 10 on the morning of Dec. 27 and at 2 the same day had qualified for the second degree. At 8 that night he was raised as a master Mason in the presence of 300 Oriental members and 800 visitors. So large was the attendance for the event that the third degree was conferred in the auditorium of the Scottish Rite cathedral. tt tt tt IT is worthy of note that Mr. Fairbanks was granted no special dispensation by the grand lodge but qualified fully as a regular member, learning and passing all the required work in the course of that one day, and. what is more, very creditably, according to the records. The late Albert J. Beveridge, United States senator and author of the definitive life cf John Marshall and an unfinished but hardly less notable biography of Abraham Lincoln, was a member of Oriental where he received his master Mason degree before more than 500 members and guests late in 1921, while William F. Cleary was worshipful master. Another distinguished member is Frank G. Laird, present most worshipful master of the grand lodge of Indiana, who is serving his second term which will expire May 22 of this year. His is the rare distinction of being one of the very few men who has served two terms as grand master. Mr. Laird also served in the line offices for Oriental and was worshipful master in 1917. Oldest living past master and member In terms of years of affiliation with Oriental is Thomas L. Sullivan, former mayor and father of Mayor Reginald T. Sullivan, who was raised in the lodge in 1876. Next to Mr. Sullivan comes Charles R. Myers, president of the board of safety, who has been a member fifty-four years. Samuel H. Shearer ranks third with fiftytwo years and Harry E. Weaver, fourth, with fifty-one. Among b,he many members who have rendered distinguished service

to the lodge is Frank Z. Sherer, worshipful master in 1933 and an Oriental member for thirty years. It was largely due to his efforts and foresight that the lodge was able to liquidate its bonded indebtedness in 1925, ten years before maturity. This occasion was observed by a two-day golden anniversary celebration which was featured by the burning of the mortgage on Oriental's temple. tt tt Edward h. moore, the lodge’s present secretary, not only has served continuously in that office since 1897, but also was worshipful master' during both 1895 and 1896. Another outstanding service to Oriental was rendered by John J. Twinam who was Oriental’s treasurer from 1882 until his death a few years ago. The lodge is particularly proud of its ten members who have attained Masonry’s highest honor, the thirtythird degree. They are Edward D. Moore, Dr. Thomas D. Noble. William Earl Gentry, John B. Cockrum, Vincent V. Smith, George M. Spiegel, Frank G. Laird. John T. Saulter, Ralph K. Smith and J. Ralph Fensterma cher. Much service to public and Masonic welfare has been contributed by members of Oriental, both as individuals and as an organization. Many members have held important public offices. A large delegation from the lodge served with the United States forces during the World war. For many months during those trying times the dining room in Oriental temple was devoted exclusively to the Red Cross Auxiliary for sewing and preparing hospital and war supplies. The lodge has contributed thousands of dollars to the Masonic home at Franklin. Hundreds more have been sent to sufferers from flood, earthquake and other disasters in all parts of the country. Even today more than 40 per cent of the annual dues of each member is devoted to relief purposes exclusively. Thus Oriental has contributed and still is contributing much to the welfare of not only its 1,200 members but also to the public weal. Officers of the lodge for 1934 are Frederick A. Schneider, worshipful master; Laurence W. Horning, senior warden; Ralph T. Simon, junior warden; William Earl Gentry, treasurer; Edward D. Moore, secretary; John C. Hobson, chaplain; August J. Sieloff, senior deacon; william A. Thomas, junior deacon; Culver S. Miller, senior steward; Sidney S. Miller, junior steward, and Charles B. Brown, tyler.

CITY UNO STATE BUSINESS GAINS LISTEDBY HOKE General Trend Upward, He Reports; Advocates AAA Reform. Fred Hoke, Indiana director of the national emergency council, reported generally improved business conditions in the city and state, in a letter to Frank B. Walker, Washington, national emergency council executive director, which was made public today. “Business, generally, in this district continues on the upgrade,” Mr. Hoke reported. “Banks are seeking loans. Trust companies continue advertising for real estate loans at 6 per cent without commission, on a basis of 40 per cent of the present appraised value. "One of the largest furniture stores, with several branches, reports business more than 43 per cent in advance of last year, with a few recent dais netting a record for sales in excess r i 1930. In several cf our indust ~ J ..i centers specializing in automobiles, parts and accessories, and cabinets for domestic refrigerators, etc., all houses are occupied and there is a distinct shortage. Houses at Premium “For example, i;i Newcastle, Ind., there is not an empty room to be had. More than .1,200 workers in the city are commuting from other cities within reasonable distance. Practically the same condition exists in Anderson, Connersville and Hagerstown. Mr. Hoke recommended that the activities of the agricultural adjustment administration be simplified by placing all its w T ork of assistance to farmers under one committe in each locality. “The entire AAA program is looked on with general satisfaction and favor throughout the state,” Mr. Hoke said in his report. “But farmers seem to be unable to understand wiiy it is necessary to deal with a separate committee for each of the crop reduction programs. It is believed that by placing the several programs under the control of one committee in each county, the administrative expense greatly could be reduced, that all Information, maps and general knowledge of the individual farm thus would be in the hands of one committee, and available for any additional crop reduction program that may be initiated in the future.” Report on City District Reporting on District 12. of which Indianapolis is a part, Mr. Hoke's report said: “Many do not like labor provisions of their codes, and believe that organized labor is given an unfair advantage. The attitude of the taxpayers concerning CWA activities is mixed. I think, however, that most taxpayers approved CWA activities. The people of this district generally are favorably inclined toward the operation of the Home Owners’ Loan Corporation and the public works administration. Such employment as there is seems to be steady and is somewhat on the increase.” 5 Peasants Slain by Bombs By United Press LONDON, April 16. An unconfirmed dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph from Rhodes said today that five peasants were killed and twenty-five wounded when Italian airplanes bombed villagers at Salocho. The firing, the dispatch said, resulted from conflict with island authorities during municipal elections.

chaptex xix Communism an Emotional Dryness

NEITHER Socialism nor Communism meets the realities of human nature as I sense them. Both of them have an emotional dryness, a dogmatic thinness which repels me. They deal in the dry bones of the “economic man” and I crave in addition to flesh, the blood and spirit of the religious and the artistic man. I want to see whole realms of being kept out of the sphere of economics and business. The economic and business machine should be subjected more and more to the religious, the artistic and the deeper scientific needs of man. The business man, prompted all too often by short-time profit motives, has had altogether too much influence; or possibly I should say that his ideals have caused the nation to put entirely too high a percentage of its energy into efforts which were bound to be selfdefeating and eventually productive of unemployment, and misery.

It is proper that we should respect the business man in his true sphere. He should be encouraged to develop a social machinery which will make it possible to bring about an equilibrium from year to year between productive power and consumptive power. fHe should be encouraged to work our social machinery to bring about as nearly as possible a just distribution of our physical output to the different individuals of the nation. For rendering his technical services, the business man should, like all the other elements of the population, be assured of a fair salary and a modest return on capital, combined with such assurances of security as may be possible in view of the resources and productive power of the nation. The bitterness in the hearts of many of the Communists and farm strikers in this country appalls me, but I am even more concerned about the way in which powerful business interests, steeped in the doctrines of laissez faire and survival of the fittest, are able to hire fine intelligent men to serve short-time selfish ends by presenting their case in Washington. tt tt THE expressions of the extreme left-wingers may oftentimes be venomously cruel and brutal, but I am thinking even more about the intelligent burrowing of those whose thoughts are guided chiefly by concern for immediate profit. Os course, our hope lies in the fact that the great bulk of laboring men, farmers and business men are neither bitter nor rapacious. They are patient, longsuffering people, slowly struggling to find the light. If the Christian religion is to help them in finding that light, it must furnish the spiritually hungry people with something which is truer and more compelling than the “dog eat dog” philosophy of the classical economists and the biological scientists. I am not denying either evolution or the law of supply and demand. But I am denying the right of a philosophy based on such laws to guide humanity toward the infinite richness which is resident on the one hand in human nature itself and on the other hand in the capacity of science to exploit the material world for our benefit. Business men operating as individuals on the animal plane can destroy us no matter how great our scientific discoveries. And as a matter of fact, the greater discoveries, the more certain the destruction. We are approaching in the world today one of the most dramatic moments in history. Will we allow catastrophe to overtake us, and as a result force us to retire to a more simple, peasant-like form of existence? Or will we meet the challenge and expand our hearts, so that we are fitted to

wield with safety the power which is ours almost for the asking? From the standpoint of transportation and communication, the world is more nearly one world than ever before. From the standpoint of tariff walls, nationalistic strivings, and the like, the nations of the world are more separated today than ever before. Week by week the tension is increasing to an unbelievable degree. Here resides both danger and opportunity. tt t* tt THE religious keynote, the economic keynote, the scientific keynote of the new age must be the overwhelming realization that mankind now has such mental and spiritual powers and such control over nature that the doctrine of the struggle for existence is definitely outmoded and replaced by the\ higher law of cooperation. When co-operation becomes a living reality in the spiritual sense of the term, when we have defined certain broad objectives which we all want to attain, when we can feel the significance of the forces at work not merely in our own lives, not merely m our own class, not merely in oar own nation, but in the world as a whole—then the vision of Isaiah and the insight of Christ will be on their way toward realization. The spiritual co-operation to which I refer depends for its strength on a revival of deep religious feeling on the part of the individual in terms of the intellectual concept that the world is in very truth one world, that human nature is such that all men can look on each other as brothers, that tha potentialities of nature and science are so farreaching as to remove many of the ancient limitations. This concept which now seems cloudy and vague to practical people must be more than the religious experience of the literary mystic. It must grow side by side with anew social discipline. Never has there been such a glorious chance to develop this feeling, this discipline, as in this country today. (Copyright, 1934.

0. S. NO PLACE FOR HITLERISM. SATSDR.WICKS •Weed May Flourish for a Time, but Will Wilt/ He Declares. \ Dr. Frank E. C. Wicks, speaking from the pulpit of All Souls Church yesterday, denounced present attempts to bring Hitlerism to the United States. He said in part: “The invasion has for its purpose more than the creation of a new feeling toward Hitlerism. It seeks to establish in the United States the same control of every political anq economic function as in Germany. “This ambition is frankly stated in Hitler's ‘My Battle,’ where he says that ‘the man of Germanic race on the continent of America, having kept himself pure and unmixed, has risen to be its master.’ “As Americans we are not concerned with the internal affairs of Germany,” he continued. “We may sympathize with the Nazi or we may abhor it. Our humane feelings are outraged by the persecution of the Jews, but the politics of Germany is none of our business. “Any interference from us will be resented as we would resent interference from abroad. But we do resent the introduction of alien political principles. “I can not believe that Hitlerism can take root in American soil, except as a noxious weed that may flourish for a time, but will wilt and wither under the sun of a true democracy. It will create bad feeling, disturbances here and there; it may stir up racial prejudice, but it will not sweep America. “Defective as our American democracy is; compelled as we may be to change some of its forms; surrendered as we have, much of our power to our executive, we still shall believe in liberty within law, and will not turn to any form of despotism” FLEEING SUSPECT SHOT IN STOLEN CAR CHASE Young Negro, Wounded Trying to Evade Police, Fares Theft Charge, Attempting to escape from police, Joe Franklin, 20, Negro, 1433 Cornell avenue, alleged auto bandit, was shot and wounded seriously by Patrolman Charles G.

CLIMAX DUE TONIGHT IN DIE INDUSTRY DISPUTE 19,000 Tool Workers to Decide on Strike View at Mass Meeting, By United Press DETROIT, April 16.—Dissension in the tool and die industry in Detroit is expected to come to a head tonight when members of the Mechanics Educational Society of America attend a mass meeting to determine whether a “general strike” affecting 164 tool and die shops in Detroit is to be called for midnight tonight. If the meeting results in approval of a strike call it will affect nearly 19.000 workers in all the tool and d:e shops in the Detroit area.
