M'NUTT BUSTS SUBDUE FOES IN HOWARD COUNTY 5,000 Cheer Governor at Kokomo Rally: Conducts Another Forum. BY TRISTRAM COFFIN Time* Staff Writer KOKOMO, Ind., Oct. 30—A political faith healer came before an audience tinged with hostility here last night, shouted, “I can take it." and proceeded to prove it with an eloquent array of facts. With elections only one week away. Governor Paul V. McNutt invaded bitterly part, an Howard county, th* home of 27.000 registered voters, for a friendly chat with the “folks " After the meeting ended there seemed no question but that the stubborn, skeptical gallery had been won. To an audience composed mainly of small merchants and farmers, the Governor explained the complex principles of government, showing that his administration had re- 1 duced the tax burden and thrown out “incompetent office holders.” Leaning over the rostrum and speaking straight to the audience, the Governor began: “I thought as i saw Arthur Robinson rambling wildly about the state! clamoring about constitutionality that he was a candidate. But Arthur ran out on Sherman Minton. He took me as his opponent—and don't think I can’t take it.” Retails Tax Slashes To the depression-ridden citizens of Howard county, the Governor pointed out where they had actually receive a $6 019 net profit and had a tax reduction of $758,428 during his administration. The Governor silenced the fears of the voters as to the eligibility of Olin R. Holt. Democratic mayoralty nominee in Kokomo, by stating: “Mr. Holt will take office in January. You know what I mean, don't you?” Because he has served seven months of a federal sentence for conspiring to violate the prohibition act, Mr. Holt is seeking a presidential pardon. The problem of relief was stressed by the Governor who said, “Human needs must come before all else.” Finally the questions began to rain in upon him. “How did they make the $1.50 tax law, “shouted an elderly farmer. Governor McNutt a few moments had before pointed out the benefits of the law. Speaks on Jail llrraks “Who controlled the House of Representatives when it was passed?” the Governor asked. “The Democrats. It was passed over Harry Leslie’s veto.” “What about Michigan City and Crown Point?” another voice asked. “They are both deplorable instances resulting from guards I had inherited from the Leslie administration. The theft of $25,000 from the teachers’ retirement fund was another scandal. Where do you think I found the stolen bonds? Sewed to the skirts of a Republican appointee of Leslie.” After answering questions as to the 2 Per Cent Club and the Governor’s private traveling expenses, Governor McNutt thundered, "Have they been calling me names up here? Have you folks heard that I was a czar and a dictator and some other names not repeated in polite company?” A few voices called assent. Reorganization Explained The Governor then explained the necessity of co-ordinating the state government under the reorganization act to reduce expenses and bring about more efficiency. He said that it was an unsolicited bill presented to him by two legislatures and that he in turn presented the bill to a committee composed of labor, industry and the public for approval before it was ever brought up in the General Assembly. “This committee, about 70 per cent Republican, agreed with only one non-voter that such a reorganization was vitally necessary.” The 5.000 people who had packed into the high school auditorium stayed until almost 11 to ask questions. Even after the speech a small group gathered around the Governor and questioned him. In answer to one citizen who had heard that the Governor would be a presidential candidate in 1936, Governor McNutt said. “That is

The Theatrical World ‘Chu Chin Chow,’ British Movie, Is Brilliant Hit BY WALTER D. HICKMAN

F'ILM row in IndianapolLs, which takes up several blocks on North Illinois between New York and North streets, has taken on anew mem-

ber. This time it is F. E. Wagoner, who represents Gaumont British Picture Corporation of America. As Fox exchange is in charge of the distribution of the Gaumont product, Mr. Wagoner has his office at the Fox Film Corporation, 326 North Illinois street. My introduction to Gaumont Picture productions as well as Mr. Wagoner occurred yesterday afternoon at the Fox exchange when I was invited to see a preview of “Chu Chin Chow.” On ttfe legitimate stage, this Oriental spectacle was one of my early favorites. I have seen it on tour and the several productions that Stuart Walker made at the Murat here and in Cincinnati, 0., during his stock seasons. Gaumont British has every right to cheer about "Chu Chin Chow,” because it is a wonderful picture, combining super-adult and juvenile entertainment into a perfect pattern, i Broadway now is singing the j praises of four Gaumont British movies. They are “Chu Chin Chow,’’ "Power,” “Man of Aran ” and “Little Friend," A definite booking has not been announced for “Chu Chin Chow,” but will be soon. My suggestion is to see it when it comes.

foolish. I will be a delegate to the convention and will help re-nomin-ate President Roosevelt myself.” A crowd teetering with a week’s accumulated excitement awaited the Governor as he entered the hall and rase as a man to its feet as the Governor, smiling broadly and waving his hat, marched down the main aisle to the platform. An immense parade of cars, farm wagons, marchers and bandsmen preceeded the meeting, lighting the lined streets with their red flares. Two hours before the meeting, a long line waited patiently outside the hall until the doors would open. Answers G. O. P. Publisher Governor McNutt came from a meeting in Winamac, where he had taken the bull by the horns, and, like an experienced cow puncher, thrown it to the ground. A Republican candidate for congress in that district had published m his newspaper a list of questions for the Governor to answer. Governor McNutt invited the foe to come forth and ask his questions in the open. The nominee sat firmly in his seat, so the Governor picked up a copy of the paper, lead the questions and answered them. Observers from the Democratic speakers’ bureau at the Kokomo meeting said that the Governor had made one of the best speeches in the campaign. As an actor/ Governor McNutt was superb. He had the main dramatic necessities, sincerity, mass appeal and forcefulness. Imitates Li’l Arthur As the Governor would flail his arms in imitation of Senator Robinson or mimic other characteristics of Li’l Arthur, the crowd roared with delight. When the Governor was sternly sincere the crowd was awed into complete silence. Besides those who had managed to squeeze into the hall, several hundred more were at the state highway garage in Kokomo, where loud speakers, carried the Governor’s message. Concerning the threatened statewide utility workers’ strike, Governor McNutt said “Yesterday I talked with representatives of the employers and employes in an attempt to avert the strike. Then I called Louis Howe, the President's No. 1 secretary, and asked him to get in touch with the head of the national union. I heard this afternoon from Winamac that the strike was called off.” NOV. 8 IS SET FOR TRIAL OF HANRAHAN Grill Proprietor Is Accused of ByDrink Violation. The trial of Michael J. (Mike) Hanrahan, proprietor of the Pennhoff gril, 23 North Pennsylvania street, on charges of selling .liquor bv the drink has been set for Nov. 8. two days after election.

G, 0. P. CLAIMS WITHOUT BASIS, MINTONSHOWS New Deal Foes Are Reading Figures Backward, Says Democrat. Hi/ 7 imf* Hpccinl MUNCIE. Ind., Oct. 30—Candidates opposed to the New Deal are reading indisputable business statistics backward, Sherman Minton, Democratic nominee for United States senator, declared in a speech here last night. “Can any one imagine a political candidate for office telling the American Federation of Labor that more men are unemployed today than when President Hoover was in the White House, or telling Dun & Bradstreet that business failures are greater today?” Mr. Minton asked. “Yet that is exactly what the Republicans are attempting to do.” Using statistics to prove his points, Mr. Minton showed that 4.120.000 persons went back to work i in the first year of NR A; that | emergency employment w r as found | for more then 1.500.000 other men ; and women, and that business fail- ! ures in September, 1934, were the least for any month since 1920, and were 40 per cent lower than in September, 1929. His statements were based on American Federation of Labor and I Dunn & Bradstreet. Inc., reports. "Dow-Jones Company of New York reports'that thirteen leading steel companies had net profits of $20,148,226 for the quarter ending June 30, 1934, compared to $14,034,959 of net losses for the corresponding period in 1933," he said. “B. C. Forbes, financial authority, tells the world that favorable action on dividends was taken by 131 leading American industries in August, 1934, compared to twentytwo which took action in August, 1932 and 121 which acted in August, 1929. “This is no time for the organized hammer brigade to be blocking the road to full recovery,” Mr. Minton declared. "This is no time to stop much less to heed the cry for us to go back to something or another; back to 1932, no doubt. We must give President Roosevelt a helping hand and a

change they propose are made. Under the retailing industry's proposed tax plan, no property tax rates could be higher than $1 in rural areas and $1.50 in incorporated towns and cities, except for meeting taxing unit debt payments or for emergencies to which taxpayers consent by popular vote. To prevent schools from being deprived of needed revenue, the retail industry proposes a maximum 3 per cent tax on the retail sales of all commodities except fuel. food, ice and gasoline, the resultant revenue to be used only for payment of teachers' salaries. This 3 per cent tax would replace the state gross income tax.
