CONGRESS SHIFT COUGHLIN'S AIM Radio Priest Would Change Legislators’ Complexion; Assails Roosevelt. P<) I niled Press DETROIT, Nov. 4—The Rev. Charles E. Coughlin and his National Union for Social Justice opened a campaign today to change the complexion of Congress. In his first radio speech of anew season, Coughlin yesterday aimed the greater part of his fire at Congress. He said the slogan ' Roosevelt or Ruin,” on which he supported the President in 1932, might be changed to “Roosevelt and Ruin” unless public opinion removes from Congress the “rubber stamps of moribund-minded men who have lost sight of their duty as representatives of the American people.” Coughlin has been off the air all summer; hence his National Union has not been in the news. It is estimated his weekly addresses this fall and winter will reach 35,000,000*. Yesterday he outlined his line of battle. “First, to bend every effort to return Christianity against paganism and any other ism which opposes the Christian concept of life. “Second, to fight unto death, if necessary, for the retention of the American democratic system of government, together with its republican institutions. Third, to retain our entire Constitution, including the right of Congress to coin and regulate money. “Fourth, to impress upon this audience the President and his Cabinet are negligible entities compared to the Congress of the United States, which is composed of our law-making Representatives and Senators. Coughlin’s attack on Congresses of the past “20 or 30 years” was couched in blazing sentences. He said in part: A history of recent Congresses “has been a history of men who were more interested in acquiring patronage . . . than they were in securing equitable legislation for the thousands and hundreds of thousands of citizens who received no jobs ...” “Oftentimes, there was as little distinction between a Democratic and Republican member of Congress as there was between two worms gnawing on one apple. Exploitation of the inarticulate people continued until wealth was concentrated in the hands of the few.” SHOWDOWN ON TRUCK PURCHASES SCHEDULED Taxicab, Barber Shop Ordinances to Be Introduced Tonight. Charges that the Works Board purchased two trucks at a cost of SI3OO in excess of the lowest bid are scheduled for a final showdown at City Council meeting tonight, Hubert S. Riley, Works Board president, is expected to offer an explanation to findings of Dr. Theodore Cable, Council works committee chairman. An ordinance to limit the number of taxicabs and two labor measures. ohe to repeal the anti-picket-ing ordinances and the other to provide sanitary inspection for barber shops, are to be introduced. Gives Impressions of Japan Maj. Law’rence Meinzen of Ft. Benjamin Harrison, recently returned from a trip around the world, spoke yesterday on his impressions of Japan at a meeting of the Indianapolis Walther League in St. Paul's Hall.

AUTO SALES HAILED AS RECOVERY SIGN M’Nutt Points to Increase of $25,000,000. The marked increase in the purchase of new automobiles in Indiana was cited as evidence of increasing prosperity by Gov. McNutt in his weekly radio broadcast last night. The Governor pointed out that Indiana citizens have spent about $75,000,000 so far this year for new automobiles, an increase of more than $25,000,000 over the same period last year. Approximately 45 per cent of this year’s automobile purchases were for cash, Gov. McNutt pointed out, as against a 5 per cent cash purchase in 1932.

Legion Auxiliary Drafts Resolution Commending Regime of Roosevelt
Move Aimed to Offset Effect of Pacifist Charges by Mrs. Oliphant. A resolution was being drafted today by the American Legion Auxiliary commending the Roosevelt Administration. It was expected to act as oil on troubled waters and to take the teeth out of accusations made yesterday by Mrs. O. D. Oliphant, former auxiliary national president, against Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt. Mrs. Oliphant. permanent national defense chairman of the organization, named Mrs. Roosevelt as “the A-No. 1 first pacifist in this land.” “I am thankful and I appreciate that the President does not follow in her footsteps,” Mrs. Oliphant said. Sees “High Compliment” “I do not expect any criticism of my remarks about Mrs. Roosevelt except from pacifists,” Mrs. Oliphant said today. “I feel I paid the President a high compliment.” As the resolutions committee worked on the resolution commending the Administration, Indianapolis women leaders in world peace movements declined to comment on Mrs. Oliphant's speech. Although they admitted they disagreed personally with her stand, they said controversy over such a statement would tend to defeat work in which ail women’s organizations are co-oper-ating. Mrs. W. E. Ochiltree. Connersville, past national president of the American War Mothers, said that while she agreed with Mrs. Oliphant that too much stress had been placed on the horrors of war, she could not agree with her in her statement about Mrs. Roosevelt. Not First Pacifist “I think she is much more radical than her husband, but I do not think I should call her the first Pacifist of the land,” Mrs. Ochiltree said. “We hear a great deal from pacifists about the horrors of war.” Mrs. Oliphant said. “I wish some-
Coaxing Called Essential Part of ‘Hair Sculpture’ Leon Dourlet, Chicago Head Stylist, Tells Beauticians How to Suit Waves to Character. “Come! Come! That's it! Just a little more curl!” Thßt’s the coaxing patter necessary to turn out a well-sculptured head of hair, opines Leon Dourlet, Chicago “hair-sculptor” for the Four Hundred. He spoke today before the Indiana Association of Beauticians in the Severin.
If you, Madam, can afford the “overhead,” you’ll have Monsieur Dourlet coax out of your locks a hair wave that suits your character. He know’s you from your neck-line to your ears and the sector adjacent —the behind part that always is missed by your Mary and Johnny in washing. The Ugliest Part “Behind the ear is the ugliest part of a woman’s head. She does not realize it. The neck and back of the head lose beauty when an umbrella wave is given,’' the 28-year-old stylist says. If you want your eyes dunked into oblivion let the beautician bring waves too close to the orbs and sink them into shaaowland, he declares. If you have a narrow forehead the next style of curls and more curls will not be attractive. Foreheads as broad as an airport are the best landing-places for curls, the “hair-sculptor” says. After all. a permanent wave or hairdress is, according to Mr. Dourlet, like erecting a building. “A foundation is necessary for the hairdresser as well as the hair. No foundation in training, no foundation in dressing the hair, and you’ve got a pretty poor building,” he asserts.

times they would turn from their talk of the horrors of war and help cure the horrors of peace.” “We should thank President Roosevelt for his proposal of an increased appropriation to the United States Navy, and for his action in increasing the number of appointees to West Point,” Mrs. Oliphant said. “Through this latter action, West Point is now crowded to its limits.” Attacking a national peace organization which last week began the sale of peace bonds, Mrs. Oliphant urged state presidents to write letters to their congressmen, opposing such a bond sale. Senator Gerald P. Nye <R., N. D ), chairman of the Senate Munitions Investigating Committee, who led the exposure of munitions manufacturers, was bitterly attacked by Mrs. Oliphant. “I wish there were some way of getting that man out of Congress,” she said in an aside.
VOLUNTERS ASSIST ‘GO TO CHURCH’ DRIVE Two-Man Teams Work to Enlist Interest in Church Work. Two thousand volunteers, organized in two-man teams, today opened the county “Go to Church” drive in Marion County. Special effort is to be made to enlist interest of men and boys in church work. Christian Laymen’s League and the Church Federation of Indianapolis are sponsoring the campaign. J. W. Esterline, visitation chairman; the Rev. Virgil P. Brock, promotional director; Herbert F. Mitchell, visitation campaign manager, and 35 district visitation chairmen are in active charge. FALL FATAL TO WOMAN Mrs. Emma Lockhart, 72, Dies of Injuries Sustained Oct. 14. Mrs. Emma Lockhart, 1110 S. Pershing-av, died today in City Hospital of injuries received when she fell Oct. 14 in the Second Free M. E. Church and broke her hip. She was 72 and is survived by her husband, Joseph Lockhart, and a son by a former marriage, Floyd Shelby, a City Hospital employe.
KENTUCKY VOTE FOR GOVERNOR NEW DEAL TEST Distilling Industry Threat Feared in Furious Campaign. (Continued From Page One) paign with “a $75 sound-truck and a pitcher of water.” He wound up this week at the head of a 500-car motorcade, a flapping red rooster to ride the sound-trucks hood entering towns and a masseur to keep his muscles supple. Coached at Centre Happy coached football one time at Centre College, famous for its team which beat Harvaid either with a pre-game prayer or a set of all-American backs and linesmen. He trained for this campaign like an athlete. With his rooster, sttendants and paraphernalia and a crooning talent with “Sonny Boy” and such modern spirituals. Happy seems ,o assay a trace of the late Huey P. Long's showmanship. Both nominees ignore the explosive question: Shall Kentucky repeal its prohibition amendment? Both are for the proposed amendment to permit old-age pension legislation. Governor Ruby Laffoon, who also is Democratic national •committeeman, bolted Chandler and demands that the Republican judge be elected Governor in vindication of Laffoons expiring Democratic administration of state business. But both Chandler and Swope denounce the sales tax, which probably was the outstanding legislation of the Laffoon regime.
Seven States Test New Deal By United Press Voters in eight states will cast ballots in an off-year election tomorrow that is expected to provide a test of New Deal sentiment through which political forecasters may obtain a clearer picture of what is in store for President Roosevelt in 1936. Leaders of both major parties have been most active in New York and Kentucky which will hold the most important state-wide elections, although considerable attention is being centered on the Philadelphia mayoralty fight in which the Democrats are attempting to gain a foothold after 40 years of Republican rule. New Dealers predicted that Lieut. Gov. Chandler would win by a 30,000 majority over Judge King Swope, the Republican candidate, in Kentucky, despite opposition from former Gov. Ruby Laffoon, a vigorous Roosevelt critic. In New York, control of the assembly may hang on a few seats. Although James A. Farley, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, insists the election will be decided purely on state issues, the result will be looked upon as indicating the trend of opinion. National issues have been injected into the New Jersey Assembly battle. Virginia will elect anew Legislature, but the campaign has been without unusual features. In Mississippi, a slate of Democratic candidates for legislative and other state offices is expected to win approval with the usual lack of opposition. Mayoral elections will be held in three Connecticut cities, Hartford, New Haven and Bridgeport. Indiana holds town elections only. HOLDUP MAN GETS S6O FROM PASTOR Snatches Billfold and Escapes With Accomplice in Car. The Rev. Michael J. Gorman, pastor of St. Anthony's Catholic Church, was held up this morning in the parsonage garage, Vermontst and Warman-av. The gunman took Father Gorman’s billfold containing about S6O, ran to a waiting car, and was driven away by an accomplice.

SOCIALISTS GIRD FOR NEWBATTLE Beaten in First Court Test, Party Plans to Reargue Title Contest. Beaten in the first court test, the Socialist Party of Indiana today prepared to reargue its case in Superior Court against the Socialist Party of Indiana, Inc. Ruling on a demurrer. Superior Judge William A. Pickens last week declared that Charles R. Rogers, Socialist state chairman, had not followed proper procedure in his suit to enjoin the incorporated group from using its present name and party emblem.

FIREBUG HUNTED IN N. Y. AFTER BLAZE KILLS 6 40 Other Persons Imperiled by Pyromaniac in Tenement Section. Py r niled Pres, NEW YORK. Nov. 4—Resident* of tenements in teeming Harlem organized patrols today to aid police efforts to trap a pyromaniac held responsible for the deaths of a mother and her five children in a fire that threatened 40 other lives. Police revealed after the tragedy that more than 20 other fires in a limited, densely crowded area of Harlem in the last two months probably were incendiary. Sets Two Fires The hunted maniac set two fires early yesterday. In one. a blaze that swirled up the stair well of an old five-story tenement with inadequate fire escapes, Mrs. Marguerite Di Donato. 39. was burned to death with her children, two boys and three girls ranging in age from 7 to 14. Louis Di Donato, head of the family. was found wandering later in the street in his underclothes. Apparently a half dozen persons discovered the fire simultaneously after it had gained terrifying headway through the draughty halls of the building. When firemen arrived men. women and children were leaning from smoke filled windows high above the street screaming for rescue. 40 Persons Escape Approximately 40 persons had escaped over rear balconies to adjoining buildings but persons asleep in front rooms were cut off from exits. Firemen carried the trapped persons down 85-foot extension ladders. The firemen thought they had rescued every one in the building until, after the fire was extinguished, they come upon the Di Donato family. Mrs. Di Donato, clad in a charred night dress*, lay on the smoldering floor. Atop her and around were her children. The two smallest were pillowed on her arms, as though she had tried to protect them from t>e fire. FIVE HOMES LOOTED IN WEEK-END THEFTS Musical Instruments and Cash Included in Loot.
