‘DIRTY’ POLITICS CHARGE HURLED BY DAVID REED Republican Senator from Pennsylvania Angered by Charges. Bu Cn(tr*f Prrtt WASHINGTON. Oct. 31. The political campaigns, far more exciting than usual when the presidency is not at stake, rolled into the home stretch today to the accompaniment of charges that “gutter” politics was being used by Democrats in Pennsylvania. The charge was made by Senator David A. Reed, conservative Republican. who is seeking re-election against the New Deal candidate, Joseph F. Guffey. Combined with Mr. Reed's accusations was a report of campaign expenditures, showing the concentration points of Democratic efforts to win senate seats from Republican incumbents, and an announcement of nearly $500,000 contributed by Du Pont interests for political purposes over the last fifteen years. Senator Reed, denying allegations that the Republican campaign in Pennsylvania had been guilty of excessive campaign expenditures, hit back with a charge that “the Democratic campaign managers have reached into the political gutters for their weapons.” Reed Writes Bvrnes Coming at a time when the red hot fight in California over the candidacy of Upton Sinclair and bitterly contested elections in other strategic points had w'armed political interest to record heat for an off-year, the new developments in Washington gave an added fillip to the final drives toward next Tuesday's battle at the polls. Senator Reed, in a letter to Senator James F. Byrnes 'Dem., S. C.i, said that his own campaign in Pennsylvania was clean, that he was "doing everything humanly possible to guard against irregularities,” and added: "It is clear to my own mind that the charges laid before your (campaign funds investigating) committee are being made for two purposes: First, to becloud the issues of the campaign in an attempt to turn certain defeat into a chance of victory; and. second, to cover up large sums being spent in behalf of Mr. Guffey and Mr. Earle.” Senator Reed also addressed a letter to Harvey Taylor, chairman of the Pennsylvania Republican state committee, urging ’most meticulous” care in expenditures “so that no question can possibly be raised as to the conduct or good faith of our party workers.” Campaign on ‘Modest Scale’. . In an accompanying statement, Senator Reed said that the Republican campaign in his state had been conducted on “a very modest " and that he always had been opposed to slush fund types of campaigns. Mr. Reed informed Senator Byrnes that he would be glad to testify at any time before the investigating committee regarding campaign expenditures in Pennsylvania. "But,” he WTote, “I shall insist that your committee investigate the losers as well as the winners.” The campaign reports submitted to congress showed that the Democratic leaders were sending money

The Theatrical World ‘Merry Widow’ Waltz Contest on Roof Card BY WALTER D. HICKMAN

HALLOWEEN will be observed all over Indianapolis tonight, j but the Indiana ballroom has made special plans for a big night. Under the schedule which Tom ; Devine has outlined, tonight would be waltz night, but this will be ; changed to give the Halloween fun makers a chance at hot rhythm. To take care of the waltzers, Mr. Devine announces a Merry Widow'' waltz contest for next Saturday | night. The revival of the screen play “The Merry Widow” and its tuneful melodies are responsible for the organization of the contest, which is to be sponsored by the Palace theater, where the picture will be shown starting Friday. ! Because of the many changes in dancing since the time of the story, 1 contestants Saturday night will be asked to dance their version of the j Merry Widow” and the winners : will be judged for the beauty of their interpretation. Three couples will be chosen and given $5, $3, and $2 awards. Joe Cappo and his orchestra, who ! leave the Roof after Sunday, have arranged a medley of the “Merry Widow” waltzes to accompany the | contestants. Persons who attend the Roof's gala Mask-O-Ween ball tonight masked or unmasked, may share in ja croup of awards. Fifteen cash prizes are offered to i the maskers who are to be judged for beauty, originality, and comicality. Persons who do not mask may join in old-fashioned games and stunts to compete for their share of the awards. There will be dancing from 9 until 2. 000 Some Interesting Facts IN connection with the production of the picture, “Age of Inno- { fence,” which opens at the Indiana j tomorrows here are some interesting excerpts from journals of etiquet in an age gone by. Although they perhaps do not hold to the psychological trends expressed by such authorities as Jane Jordan, the excerpts are quaintly | humorous. One of the rules, taken from “Miss 1 Leslie’s Behavior Book,” is as follows: “When visiting a fancy store with a gentleman, refrain from excessively admiring any handsome or expensive article you may chance to see there.” In this day of “sugar daddies” and “gold-diggers,” one can imagine the havoc the enforcement of such a rule would cause. And in an age w’hen men are hired to pack customers into the subways in our larger cities, the “Behavior Book” states: “If. on stopping an omnibus, you find that a dozen people are already | seated in it, draw’ back, and refuse i to add to the number; giving no heed to the assertion of the driver that 'there is plenty of room’.” Another one of the “Emily Posts of the 7Q's” announces that “ . , . we grieve to see a charming, modest, refined young lady, almost the moment a gentleman begins to talk to her. changing her w’hole demeanor, and quickly becoming bold, forward, noisy and nonsensically chattering at the top of her voice about nothing, and keeping up a continual laugh about nothing.” j to New Mexico to combat the candidacy of Senator Bronson Cutting, Republican, who deserted Herbert Hoover to support President Roosevelt in his campaign and in congress except on the veterans issue, but w’ere making no apparent effort to defeat Senator Robert M. La Follette of Wisconsin, another Republican friendly to the New r Deal. The Du Pont reports were to the senate munitions investigating committee and showed contributions of $4?9.356 between 1919 and 1934. Most of the contributions w’ere to the Republican party, although j some were to the Democrats. The : reports covered officials and directors of the Du Pont munitions inI terests.

In the book. “Etiquet and Usages of Society,” was found an admonition to the engaged couples which warns that “ There is many a slip etc.’ Hugging and kissing is perhaps all very well when not too fervently indulged in. The lady should never be too lavish of her caresses nor too forward to receive those of her lover.” 000 Novelty on View THE AMBASSADOR offers today through Saturday the personal appearance of Jackie Merkle, 6-year-old psychic, said to be the only child able to call names, name the make of your automobile and answer questions concerning the past and future. The boy comes to this theater direct from the Emboyd theater in Fort Wayne and the Oriental, Chiago. He has appeared in motion pictures, on the radio and in the leading theaters of the country. He will appear four times daily. On the same bill will be a first showing of Jack Holt in “I’ll Fix It,” a story concerning a political pow’er who runs a city to suit his own taste and who eventually meets a woman that exposes him and in order to win her love, surrenders to her completely. Short subjects complete the program. 000 INDIANAPOLIS theaters today offer: “The Church Mouse,” a Civic theater production, at the Playhouse: “The Gay Divorcee,” at the Indiana; “Gift of Gab” and “Wagon Wheels.” at the Circle; “Transatlantic Merry-Go-Round” at Loew’’s Palace and “Caravan,” at the Apollo.

Perry w’as indicted by the federal grand jury for alleged misapplication of $32,000 in bank funds. He served a term at the state prison for embezzlement of funds from another bank account. Russell M. Perry, his son, is to be returned here from Pennsylvania to face charges of aiding and abetting violation of the postal laws. The trial probably will be held early next month.

FIRST LADY IS QUESTION MARK IN WASHINGTON

Capital Wonders If Nation Approves Activities of Mrs. Roosevelt. BY LYLE C. WILSON United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.—There is no certainty in the capital that the nation has made up its mind whether Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt should do all the things she does. There is ample assurance she will continue to do them. But whether Mrs. Roosevelt finally will prove to be a political liability or a political asset is strictly a matter of opinion. The consensus probably is that a First Lady who often is on page one because of her interest in politics, economics, sociology, literature, name a few —is an asset. It wouldn’t make much difference but for the American habit of including wives among the issues in the political campaigns of their husbands. Mrs. Roosevelt’s activity makes it inevitable that she will be much discussed during the next two years leading to a Presidential election. She has just invaded the field of practical politics as a speaker for Caroline O'Dav, Democratic candi-date-at-large in New York for the house of representatives. Natalie F. Couch! Republican candidate, says Mrs. Roosevelt is boosting her friend with White House prestige. There are indications, but so slight as to be scarcely straws in the wind, that the farm belt and the southwest do not quite understand Mrs. Roosevelt. In those sections, there may be a preference for the smiling, passive Grace Goodhue Coolidge type of President’s wife as opposed to the Roosevelt pattern. The east is accustomed to Mrs. Roosevelt. She is doing now on a larger scale precisely what she did as the wife of the Governor of New York. Mrs. Roosevelt does the unusual. Thirty years ago she marched one day in a demonstration of paper box factory strikers. She shocked her family about the same time by choosing to live in the Rivington street settlement house on New York’s lower east side. Working conditions, workers’ compensation, housing and politics have absorbed much of Mrs. Roosevelt’s adult energy. It has been estimated that in five years before entering the White

House Mrs. Roosevelt picked up $25,000 from endorsements, radio talks and writing. The family purse is rather lean and expenses are large. After the inauguration, she abandoned her cold cream radio hour and resigned editorship of “Babies— Just Babies.” She began an advice-to-the-puzzled page in the Woman's Home Companion. A book, "It's Up To Women,” is fresh from her typewriter. A reviewer remarked that the range of the book embraced NRA avi the preparation of stuffed eggs, indicating a catholicity of interests with which Washington is familiar. Mrs. Roosevelt is 50 years old. In eighteen months she has done much for women in Washington and throughout the nation. Her unprecedented weekly press conferences are arranged to give prominence to selected women among government executives. She has traveled all over the United States and flew to Puerto Rico recently where political, economic and sociological problems are acute. She is a presidential listening post. Once only since March 4, 1933 has popular opinion rendered a verdict on Mrs. Roosevelt. She wanted federal funds to finance manufacture of postoffice furniture at a government subsistence homestead project. The appropriation was blocked by the house of representatives which, except on election day, is the nearest thing we have to a voice of the people.
