SSOO DONATION RULE MAY CUT FIELD Democratic Candidate List of Ten Due to Lose Three Members. PETERS, MINTON PAY Heavy Delegate Canvassing Expected Before Opening of Convention. BY JAMES DOSS Times Staff Writer The simple but usually painful gesture known in sporting parlance as “laying it on the line” probably will be the factor that will cut the Democratic senatorial field in half in the state convention Tuesday. In politics “laying it on the line” means that each of the senate candidates are expected to dig down into their jeans and come up with SSOO for convention and campaign expenses. With ten candidates for the senate in the field, it is. obvious that some of them are going to do a lot of delegate canvassing up to the opening of the convention and then decide that SSOO is a trifle expensive for mere personal advertising. The Democrats are more circumspect about the matter than are the Republicans. With the latter there is a party organization rule that requires candidates to pay an assessment before their na?ne is brought before the convention. G. O. P. Fee Reported SI,OOO It is reported that it cost Senator Arthur R. Robinson a sum variously estimated at SI,OOO to $1,250 to go before the convention. This price undoubtedly swayed former Governor Harry G. Leslie and William C. Dennis in the decision that it was hopeless to make the gesture of opposing Robinson. The Democrats do not have a rule that candidates must pay an assessment to have their names before the convention, but it generally is understood that the office aspirant had better “lay on the line or else.” The Democrats hold that any one has a right to run and that to force a candidate to pay before his name goes in for consideration is both illegal and unethical. „ The prevailing price scale for the Democratic candidates is SSOO for senator, S4OO for judge and S3OO for the other state offices. Three May Withdraw It was reported, but could not be confirmed today, that at least three of the ten senate candidates are expected to withdraw at any moment and that one of the withdrawals will offer the name of another aspirant in nomination. Among the candidates who have paid their SSOO “contribution” are R. Earl Peters and Sherman Minton, both of whom are leading contenders for the nomination and are sure to make the race. One of the reasons that the Republicans are not quite as trusting as their Democratic brethren is because of an unfortunate experience encountered several years ago. Deadlock Is Discounted One candidate paid his assessment and when he was unsuccessful in the convention, stopped payment on his check the next morning. He hasn’t run for office since. Senator Frederick Van Nuys, who arrived here yesterday, said he was convinced the Democratic convention will not be deadlocked because delegates are in no mood for a hopeless deadlock. “They want a nominee who will beat Robinson,” he said. The senator added that he had conferred with all but two of the announced candidates, 'and that he believed all would get behind the man nominated. He received visitors today at Democratic state headquarters in the Claypool. and planned to arrange a conference with Governor Paul V. McNutt.

PRAYED FOR RAIN—GOT A FLOOD!

Drought to Cost American Taxpayer Sum Around $2,000,000,000. By United Press CHICAGO, June 9. —Danger of a national famine, a drought-born specter unlaid until rains soaked northwestern farms, has been averted. The drought, however, will cost American taxpayers and consumers a staggering sum—conservatively around $2,000,000,000 — in relief funds and increased food prices. Economic consequences of the year-long drought are entirely incalculable, agricultural statisticians and economists said today. Ten million members of farm families in fifteen states have been reduced almost to destitution. Country trade communities already are feeling a pinch which will glow increasingly severe for at lease twelve months. Livestock herds and forage reserves have been depleted. Entomologists fear a great plague next year of grasshoppers and chinch bugs, born of an ideal breeding season. > Housewife Must Pay Much of the cost will be assessed from food budgets of the American housewife. Close to $750,000,900 must be paid directly by taxpayers in special relief funds. Reports assembled today from fifteen states by the United Press showed that a shortage of cereal, dairy and vegetable products already has materially increased the cost of living f.or the average family. A Kansas City wholesale grocery firm revealed that stocks of canned vegetables have fallen millions of cans below normal. Many canners have withdrawn from production because of inability to obtain raw materials. Orders from jobbers have been refused outright. Prices Show Increase A comparison of prices in a Chicago retail grocery chain on March 1 and June 8 revealed that a can of corn which sold on the former date at 9 cents now costs 11 cents. A box of oatmeal which formerly sold at 8 cents now is 10 cents. Milk has been raised from 8 to 9 cents a quart. Butter jumped from 24 ents to 28 cents. “The increase is uniform in vegetables and cereals, as well as all dairy products,” an executive of the firm said. “We expect prices to go higher after present warehouse stocks are exhausted.” His opinion was backed by the Minnesota department of agriculture. Experts of the department agreed that the drought “undoubtedly will result in higher food prices, particularly in grain lines, beef, butter products and poultry.” Fund Asked Conservative A state-by-state analysis of probable relief needs attributable to the drought in the sixteen most stricken states showed that $525,000,000 asked by President Roosevelt for that purpose probably is a conservative estimate. Illinois alone, for example, has asked $1,750,000 from the federal government for thirty days’ relief. Estimates made by state authorities showed that Colorado will need $18,500,000 in the next year; Oklahoma, $2,500,000; Texas, $3,600,000; Kansas, $3,500,000; Missouri, $2,000,000. Relief directors of other states said their figures would run much higher, particularly in the northwest, but were unable to do better than guess at the amounts at this time.

She told a friend, Mrs. Sarah Stites, 5230 East Washington street, who accompanied the Reynolds l o the park, she would dip in the pt. >' on the way to wash the sand frla her body. More than an hour passed and Mrs. Reynolds did not return. Frantic, Mrs. Stites notified lifeguard Arnold Wade, Cornell, Ind. That was at 3:30. Four hours later, Park Superintendent Everette Dußoise sighted the body from a boat. Dr. John A. Salb, deputy coroner, gave a verdict of accidental drowning. It was the fourth drowning in Indianapolis this summer. Before the body was recovered Mr. Wade and other lifeguards had dived repeatedly in search ,of it. Mrs. Reynolds was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Michael Callahan’ of the Centennial street address. She was married six years ago to James Reynolds, chief boatswain on the U. S. S. Babbitt, now on active duty with the navy Atlantic fleet. Efforts are being made to reach chief boatswain Reyonlds immediately and funeral plans are being held in abeyance awaiting his word. He may be the one to break the news of his wife's death to their small son. The navy man met his wife while on recruiting duty here. Mrs. Reynolds, whose body is in the Conkle funeral parlor, 1934 West Michigan street, was born *in Hall, Morgan county, and was brought to this city by her parents fourteen years ago. Surviving besides the husband, son and parents are three brothers, William and Freeman Callahan, both of Indianapolis, and Theodore Callahan, with the United States coast guard at Gloucester, Mass., and four sisters, the Misses Gladys and Lucille Callahan, both of Indianapolis; Mrs. Marie Buser, Ben Davis, and Mrs. Alma Ferguson, Brown county.

‘RANK AND FILERS’ BALK AT STEEL PEACE MOVES, HURL THREAT OF ‘FIGHT

imi nuim nun uiatwg i sum OF NfyjL S. MD MAN Hunt for ‘Hidden Grave’ in Southern Indiana Ceases With Announcement of Mooresvilie Farmer That He Is Studying Proposals. Hunt for the “hidden grave” of John Dillinger, Hoosier bandit, in southern Indiana, practically ceased today with •the announcement by the desperado’s father that he is considering negotiations for the surrender of his outlaw son.

Revelation of the negotiations came today from John Dillinger Sr., while federal and local law enforcement officers organized anew intensive search for the desperado. At his farmhouse in Mooresville, the elder Mr. Dillinger told reporters that he was approached recently by a federal agent with a proposal that he induce his son to surrender to the authorities. Mr. Dilinger declared that he was open to the plan if he could be given assurances that his son would be “justly treated.” “A man came here to talk to me about a surrender,” Mr. Dillinger admitted. “But I couldn’t do anything about it without a chance to talk to John. Would Have Been “Good” “If I could know that John would be sentenced to ten years and then it would be finished, I would consider the matter of a surrender,” said Mr. Dillinger. “It would be a good thing for John to surrender, but he’d have to get a better deal than he got when he first got into trouble for an attempted robbery here. “I think he might have been a good man if he had been treated right when he first made a mistake. Meanwhile in Scott and Clark counties a Times reporter learned that many farmers had abandoned their drought-stricken acres during the last few weeks to hunt sporadically for Dillinger’s “grave” following a report that the bandit was dead. Creek Dragged Recently A creek was dragged near Austin recently for the body and a rusty pistol brought to light which at first was believed to be Dillinger’s. Peace officers laughed at the “find.” State policeman Fred Charles admitted that the state police have followed more than a dozen false leads in the last two weeks to the effect that Dillinger was buried in the southern part of the state. Federal agents today were working on a report that a Chicago exconvict has several letters which he said were received from Dillinger as late as June 1. Dillinger Is Indicted By Times Special SOUTH BEND, Ind., June 9. John Dillinger, midwestern desperado, was indicted yesterday by the federal grand jury here on a charge of violating the Dyer act. Dillinger was one of fifty-nine persons named in true bills returned before Judge Thomas W. Slick. Capias for the arrest of the outlaw was issued immediately. The charge grows out of Dillinger’s theft of the automobile of Sheriff Lillian Holley, of Crown Point. Dillinger used the car the day he staged his notorious wooden pistol escape from the jail there. The car was found in Illinois several days later.

DROUGHT LOSS SETSJjECORD Havoc Revealed in Official Reports; Roosevelt Aid Note Ready. By United Press WASHINGTON, June 9.—President Roosevelt had ready for congress today a message asking appropriation of $525,000,000 for relief in the catastrophic midwest drought as the picture of immediate losses and long-time ruin grew clearer. The immediate loss was emphasized by agriculture department crop reports. Since April 1, $90,000,000 worth of winter wheat at current prices has been destroyed. Spring wheat worth about twice that much has been lost. Small grain crop losses run in proportion. The livestock toll is yet to be calculated but will be severe. Only corn appeared to have a chance for a fairly normal showing. Agriculture records showed that never since accurate statistics have been kept have conditions been so bad in June. From Ohio to Nevada the department reported pastures in the poorest June condition on record. In most of these states the condition of spring grains was similarly low.

Belligerent Group, Unappeased by Concessions of Mill Owners, Reiterate Warnings of ‘Bloody Strike.’ DECISION IN HANDS OF 18 MEN Fiery Retort Is Answer of Workers’ Faction to General Johnson’s Success in Gaining Arbitration Parley. By United Preen WASHINGTON, June 9.—Eighteen men, their hands calloused, their tempers fired by hot blasts of steel furnaces, today held the answer to war or peace in the steel industry. The eighteen, representing the more belligerent faction of the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers, can bring peace by accepting a neutral, three-man arbitration board'to adjust grievances which have brought the threat of a bloody strike. The Iron and Steel Institute, representing the mills, has accepted the plan. Bluff M. F. (Big Mike) Tighe, president of the Amalgamated, is believed ready to give his consent.

Cooler counsel may prevail today but the latest word of the eighteen was; “Fight.” “We are done with you and your Iron and Steel Institute boards!” raged the “rank and file committee” headed by Earl J. Forbeck in a statement addressed- to General Hugh S. Johnson, NRA chief, whose eloquence had overcome the reluctance of the steel executives to the arbitration proposal. Johnson drew down the wrath of the rank and filers when in an address last night he answered earlier criticism of his efforts by saying: “To paraphrase sixi Indian-fight-ing colonel of my early service, old Greaser Hughes, ‘I have worn enough skin off the part of me that fits into a saddle, or used to, riding

SOUTHERN MOB HANGSNEGROES Pair, Snatched From Police Escort, Strung Up on Wooden Trestle. By United Press CLARKSDALE, Miss., June 9. Authorities from who mtwo Negroes were wrested i>y a lynch mob last night, gathered to hold an inquest today at a rickety wooden trestle near Lambert, Miss., from which the victims’ bodies still dangled. A verdict of “death at the hands of persons unknown” was expected. Sheriff W. T. Haynes, who had taken his prisoners, Joe Love and Isaac Thomas, safely through one mob, only to surrender them to a large crowd, declared it would have been impossible to get the pair to jail. “Every citizen of this whole north Mississippi country was after them,” he said. Love and Thomas were accused of attempting to assault a white planter’s wife. Approximately 150 men were in the group that forced Sheriff Haynes to deliver his prisoners. Officials, admitting that the lynchers had covered their movements successfully, had made no arrests at an early hour today. They did not say whether any of the mcb members were known to them.

over the flat lands of Texas and the hills of Arizona, to make half-dozen such critics as they.’ ” • Fiery Retort Is Answer Retorted the rank and file committee: “We., the undersigned steel workers who have just listened to your refined speech full of hell and bluff, denounce you for making such damnable statements over the radio, using your government position and the national radio to call us steel workers who criticise your schemes as just so much skin off a saddle. “Tomorrow we go to the President and place before him an honest, straightforward plan for settlement. “Having seen the President, who saw the steel magnates earlier this week, we shall go home to our lodges prepared to fight for that ‘pure recognition’ of the right of collective bargaining that you scorn.” Meet With Johnson Today the eighteen and their leader, Tighe, meet with Johnson face to face. Johnson said he would explain his plan for the arbitration board which would undertake to settle all disputed matters of collective bargaining, union recognition, discrimination and such. Johnson maintained he had no intention of arguing with the labor representatives. He said he would simply explain the plan in detail and then leave it up to them to decide whether they would strike or not. He feels that the industry has yielded as much as can ever be expected. The plan, he said, “is practically my prescription” for ending the bitter trouble over the steel code. Tighe, too, conceded that the industry had made important concessions. But the rank and filers were unappeased. They came to Washington determined not to accept whi t they characterized as the “bunk” given to auto workers in the creation of a similar board for that industry. The board plan, they said, “insults our intelligence.”

Sentiment Is Echoed i Jake Etinger, Weirton (W. Va.), I leader, said that after conferring with Johnson: “We are going back to the White House and this time we are going to stay right there until we see the President. We want to find out whether Section 7-A of the recovery act (the guarantee of collective bargaining) is a damn fake or the truth.” His comrades echoed his sentiment. To that Johnson said: “This plan implements the labor sections of the steel code and clears up furtive suspicions that the managements are trying to avoid Section 7-A.” As the situation rested the rank and file leaders had to make up their minds ’ay.

Great Meeting Called Tomorrow a great meeting of the union has been called at Pittsburgh. The workers then will vote whether to go out on strike at the end of next week or to accept the proposed peace plan. It is generally understood that the union membership vill follow the lead of the majority of their representatives here. There was a possibility that the union might advance some counter proposals to the arbitration board plan today. What these might be they did not suggest and it was highly unlikely that the indusry would agree to any substantial change in the settlement offer. Tighe said he was “hopeful of an early settlement.” This, however, was before Johnson’s address and the angry response of the rank and filers. Nub of the union men’s objection to the conciliation proposal is the provision that the representative of employes on the arbitration board shall not be a present or former member of “any labor organization whether national or local.” They feel also that the fact that the board jurisdiction as regards complqjpts shall not cover cases prior to the first of this year, discriminates against men who were discharged before that date for union affiliation*
