COL. KNOX HAS 4-POINT PLAN FOR RECOVERY Chicago Publisher Bitterly Arraigns “Brain Trust Economy.’ Bitter arraignment of what he termed ‘ brain trust economy” and submi don or a four-point recovery program as a substitute for it, marked the address of Col. Frank Knox, Chicago publisher, before a capacity crowd last night at Murat Temple. Col. Knox, a prospective candidate for the Republican nomination for President, spoke at a meeting sponsored by the Irvington Republican Club. He had spoken at noon at the Columbia Club, as the guest of Eugene Pulliam, Lebanon publisher, to Indiana newspaper men and editors on "Freedom of the Press.” Undecided on Presidency He declared at a press conference he has not decided definitely whether he will seek the presidential nomination. At the Murat last night, Col. Knox warned against the trend toward a dictatorship in the United States and declared that President Roosevelt now has more dictatorial powers than framers of the Constitution ever intended a President to have. His 4-Point Plan His four-point recovery plan included : 1. Immediate balancing of the national budget which he said could be accomplished by the process of bringing outgo within income and reducing government waste. 2. By removing all doubt as to integrity of the dollar. 3. Complete elimination of the principle of coercion in supervision of business and agriculture. 4. Elimination of the centralization of all power in an autocratic bureaucracy in Washington and recognition of the Supreme Court’s finality of judgment on both Federal and state legislation. Stay in Washington’s Path “We must stop sitting at the feet of Lenin, Marx, Hitler and Mussolini and stay in the straight path trod by Washington, Jefferson. Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt,” Col. Knox declared. He termed the phrase "New Deal” nothing but a catch phrase for a form of government that was old when Rome was young—autocracy. Col. Knox questioned the sincerity of President Roosevelt's recentlypromised "breathing spell for business.” "A breathing spell from what?” he demanded. ”A breathing spell from the hocus-pocus of young theorists with nothing to lose and an overpowering lust for front page publicity.” Cites Roosevelt Pledges Col. Knox declared President: Roosevelt had declared himself ‘TOO per cent for” the 1932 Democratic platform promising a balanced budget and few'er bureaus. "Instead of a balanced budget.” he said, "the New' Deal budgets in three years have been $14,400,000,000 out of balance. The President has been able to get away with an orgy of spending the people’s money because they do not fully appreciate they will nave to foot the bills.” HOPE TO COMPLETE JURY FOR TAIT TRIAL Courtroom Heavily Guarded at Hearing for Alleged Bandits.

Times Writer’s Own Story of Sea Battle With Gale “Through Hell and High Water,” Flashes F. G. Matson, Upon Safe Landing in New York.

(Editor’s Not t: This colorful gale story and account of answering an SOS at sea is related by Frederick G. Mason, Times staff writer, who has been vacationing in the. Bermudas and was returning to Indianapolis via New York when the storm struck on the Atlantic. BY FREDERICK G. MATSON Times Staff Writer NEW YORK, Nov. 19—Nineteen hours late, but we’re here after being through nell and high water. From wallowing in skyscraper waves in order to answer an SOS to the SS. Hartwelson, to seeing our passengers buffeted about like tenpins in the main lounge of our ship, the SS. Veragua, were just a few'

of the marine thrills provided me. It all started Saturday. u a a A 75-mile-an-hour gale whipped the Atlantic into a churning roar of wave upon wave breaking over the Veragua. Rain turning to sleet chilled those who went to the rail to watch the waves and reel with each pitch of the boat. One mammoth sheet of water smashed over our bridge, broke through porthole glass in staterooms, drenched cabins. One woman was spun like a top the entire length of the ship's main lounge as furniture foiiow'ed her catapulting against a bulkhead. She suffered slight injuries. Early Sunday the radio operator of the Veragua received an SOS from the freighter, Hartwelson, bound for Boston. She was 20 miles off Queen City. Md., and we were 20 miles southwest of her. As the gale grew in strength and violence we proceeded full steam. >t a a VISIBILITY was so poor we cruised in circles for the Hartwelson. Long notes of our

HULL REVIEWS CANADA PACT'S PRAISEJICKS New Reciprocal Trade Treaty Elicits Many Bouquets and Brickbats. By United Press WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.—Bouquets and brickbats for the newly concluded United States-Canadian reciprocal trade trea'y were h"' ir rd today upon the desk of Secretary of Stae Cordell Hull. Most of the bouquets were tossed by Administration officials who had a hand in negotiating the agreement, but there were a few faint cheers from the sidelines by representatives of industries whose products are expected to benefit in dollars and cents. The brickbats w T ere from representatives of the Northwest lumber industry; the livestock and dairy interests; the American liquor industry, and from Senator Thomas D. Schall (Rep.), Minn. Both the cheers and complaints were anticipated. In fact, the first cheer, in the form of an official statement by Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace outlining the benefits which the administration believes will accrue to American agriculture from the treaty, obviously was prepared in advance, before any kicks w r ere received, to offset possible complaints from agriculture leaders. Wallace said the treaty would benefit “the whole of agriculture” and predicted recovery of most of the $35,000,000 decline in United States agricultural exports to Canada during the past five years.

BROKERS'TRIAL IS NEAR JURY Pfaff, Hughel Are Branded ‘Schemers’ as Case Is Summed Up. (Continued From Page One) the defunct company, as “odds and ends” of her holdings. James E. Watson, former United States Senator, presented the final defense arguments, followed by District Attorney Val Nolan, who closed for the government. Mr. Hines opened his defense of Mr. Pfaff dramatically wdth: "May I walk barefoot through hell and may my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, if I don’t tell the truth.” He then said the firm was unable to handle many of the dealings because the company was in bankruptcy and that his client had but little to do with the operation of the company the last several months of its existence.” Mr. Hines pointed out that if the members of the firm had wanted to embezzle funds "all they would have had to do w'as open safe that had $150,000 in it. This money still was there at the time of the bankruptcy.” Directed Verdict Denied Motions for a directed verdict of not guilty for the defendants were overruled at the close of testimony yesterday by Judge Baltzell. Mr. Pfaff was on the stand for two hours. On direct examination he said that during his last three years with the firm he merely was a salesman and gave no orders. None of the mailings of confirmation slips or dividend notices charged by the government was under his supervision, he testified. RED CROSS MEMBERS IN STATE INCREASE 20 Per Cent Gain Forecast for Annual Drive. Gain of 20 per cent in membership of the American Red Cross of Indiana was forecast today as enrollments in the annual drive for members were reported to state and county headquarters. Final results of the drive will not be known for two weeks. Loans of campaign supplies have been requested from the Indianapolis organization by suburban chapters. in the state and those in smaller cities.

‘Let’s Gang Up, Eliminate Roosevelt,’ Plea of ‘Maverick Among Magnates’

Super-Lobby to Oust From Public Life Any Man Who Interferes With Its Purposes Urged in Call for 1935 ‘Declaration of Independence.’ BY RUTH FINNEY Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.—Edward F. Hutton, chairman of the board of General Foods Corp., proposed today to all industry that it "gang up” on the Roosevelt Administration; that it organize a lobby overshadowing all other lobbies; and that it eliminate from public life any man who interferes with its purposes. His proposal was made in a signed article in Public Utilities Fortnightly. After reviewing the treatment accorded utilities, Mr. Hutton wrote: "Why have not these other industries whose interests are almost identical with those of the electrical industry ‘ganged up’ with the utilities

and presented an unbroken front in opposition to government competition and punitive legislation? "Why hasn’t all business and industry joined in the fight? ... If the major industries of this country do not hang together, if they do not openly call their stockholders and employes to the colors of a '1935 declaration of independence,’ the radicals that now infest the executive and legislative departments of our governments will joyously hang them all separately.” After a few words about the specters of Communism and Fascism, Mr. Hutton proposed organization of an American Federation of Business and frankly suggested that it be used to eliminate from public life men opposed to its purposes. “All Industry Must Suffer’’ “All industry, big and little, has a stake in this controversy between the Administration and the public utilities,” he said. "If the government should succeed in carrying out plans so carefully drafted by the radical Socialists, all industry must suffer sooner or later. "So I say: ‘Let’s gang up!’ “The business men of the country, the owners of stocks and bonds or any other property, the holders of insurance policies, and the depositors in banks, must realize that the only way to prevent regimentation, collectivism, or any other ‘ism’ is for all groups to join together in one great group which will come to the help of any individual group when it is attacked. Proposes Super Lobby “It is only in this way that a great business and industrial lobby can be created which will be heard effectively in the halls of Congress, in the executive departments, and even in the White House itself. Such a group, representative of all factions, can come to the support of Representatives and Senators who are backing preper and constructive legislation and fight with all of the resources at its command those Representatives and Senators who are backing destructive legislation for their own political ends. “I have said before and I say again that I do not approve of the methods used by minority pressure groups. They have a tendency to warp the judgment of members of Congress and make it difficult for them to exercise their own free and independent judgment. But just so long as they exist, business and industry have no choice—they must adopt similar tactics. “Business and industry can have a lobby which overshadow them all. Why don’t we organize it and come to the help of any part of business and industry when that help is needed?” ‘Maverick Among Magnates’ This biographical sketch of Mr. Hutton is printed by Public Utilities fortnightly: “Mr. Hutton, who has established quite a reputation as a maverick among magnates, was born (1877) and schooled in New York City. “His first job, at the age of 17, was with a mortgage trust company at $5 a week. He stayed at such work until he was 21, when he found himself with SIOOO and a partner in the old Consolidated Stock Exchange. Then started a brief series of brokerage ventures, which in 1904 finally blossomed forth into the noted firm of E. F. Hutton & Cos. “With his marriage in 1920 to the daughter of the late Charles W. Post, famed Battle Creek (Mich.) cereal developer, Mr. Hutton began his activities in General Food enterprises, in which he is at present such a commanding figure. He is also a director of the Chrysler Corp.

(Continued From Page One) chairs as Mary Catherine—brave and I smiling in her blue dress, short socks and dark beret, entered the courtroom, and headed for the witness chair. On the way. she took a piece of chewing gum from her mouth and stuck it underneath the table occupied by defense counsel. There was no formal oath. Court Clerk C. A. Johnson simply leaned forward and said, "You'll tell the truth, won't you?” “Yes, Mr. Johnson,” Mary Catherine said. Edith Maxwell, 10 feet away from her sister, stared at the brown, highheeled shoe—the one with which the slaying was committed—and bit the knuckles of her left hand. Silence Grips Courtroom Silence fell on the courtroom. The hill people, down from the trail of the Lonesome Pine, quieted their babies to listen to this girl who is little more than a baby herself. "Speak up loud now, Mary Catherine,” said A. S. Skeen, chief of defense. “All those men over there on the jury want to hear you.” "All right, Mr. Skeen, I’ll try.” She went through the preliminary questions without trouble, pushing her yellow hair back under her beret. The child's feet dangled six inches above the floor and she seemed lost in the big, oak witness chair. "Do you go to school, Mary Catherine?” "To the grade school,” she said. “You are Edith Maxwell’s sister?” “Yes, sir.” Tells of Fatal Night “And you were at home the day your father died?” “Yes, sir. I was,” Mary Catherine said, and the first tear welled into her eyes. "Just tell us what happened, please.” "That afternoon I went out to the Lonesome Pine case to buy me a I bag of potato chicps with a nickel jmy mama gave me. Pappy and Doc I Sikes was out there drinking beer and Pappy paid for my potato chips so I took my nickel back to ma. "Pappy didn't come home for supper, but that night I was playing with some of my friends up the road and Pappy came along and told me i better be gitting home. I said I was gitting but he better come with me. He didn’t do it so I went home and told mama that Pappy was drinking pretty high. “I went to bed and I woke up later and heard pappy saying something about blackberries. My mama wsa saying: “ 'Trigg Maxwell, go to bed. You're drinking.’ "He says ‘Where is Edith?’ and Mama says ‘She's gone up to Wise.’ Pappy says ‘A man out to break her—’ ” The child faltered and tears streamed from her eyes. She brushed angrily at them with the left sleeve of her coat and sobbed. She was crying because the law was about to force her to utter profanity. “Take your time,” said Skeen kindly, “and tell them what your pappy said.” She fished her handkerchief from her pocket and said, haltingly: - “Pappy said a man ought to brAk her God-damned neck.”

CHUCK WIGGINS OUTOFDANGER Old Battler Believed to Have Won His Fight Against Death. The condition of Charles Frederick (Chuck) Wiggins still is described as critical at City Hospital, but the general belief of those familiar with the case is that the old battler has about w-on his fight against death this time. They are convinced, however, that the fall he took last Tuesday in front of the police station, and the resultant skull fracture, are merely results of a more serious and underlying illness that must be corrected. They point out that his skull has been fractured several times, and that he has had other injuries to his head that all seem to have contributed to a condition that occasionally renders him suddenly unconscious as it did last Tuesday.

GET‘PHANTOM’ TESTIMONY BY COURT'S ‘LIPS' Alibi Aids “Talk’ Through Reporter as Unusual Jones Trial Feature. Those alibi witnesses William (Willie) Mason said had been intimidated into not appearing in his behalf in Criminal Court today, “testified” through the lips of a court reporter. And the trial preceded at such a pace that it will go to the jury some time today. Special Judge William H. Remy ruled the jury trying him for complicity in the machine-gun death of Police Sergeant Lester Jones could hear the testimony as the witnesses gave it during a previous trial in connection with the death in November. 1933, in Noblesville. So Mrs. Josephine Ball, who was a court reporter at the trial, which ended in a jury disagreement, read that part of the record. All of alibi witness were represented but one. Betty Clark Mason. Willie’s common law wife, told Deputy Prosecutor Oscar Hagemier over long distance last night that she had not appeared because ”1 didn't | feel like it.” Testimony Ruled Out She said, according to Deputy Hagemier, she had not been intimidated. and the judge ruled her testimony could not be read. Defense counsels Clyde P. Miller and Edward W. McElfresh charged the four former witnesses had been intimidated by Kentucky officers. Freed from the electric chair by the disagreement of jurors in Hamilton Circuit Court. Mason is being tried now with Edward (Foggy) Dean on charges of inflicting physical injury during a robbery. Mason and Dean are alleged to have been two of the five banidts who shot down Police Sergt. Lester Jones with a machine gun in the Peoples Motor Coach Cos., garage holdup Feb. 7, 1933. Courthouse Under Guard The witnesses who testified previously are Miss Clark; Millard Owens, Clifton (Ky.), druggist; Mrs. Marie Mason Wolff. Mason's sister, and her husband, Roman Wolff, all of Clifton. Criminal Court was heavily guarded yesterday by armed deputies and police after Sheriff Ray feared gunmen might attempt a courtroom rescue. Sheriff Ray said that Friday and Saturday night a touring car, its curtains drawn and bearing Kentucky license plates, circled the jail several times. Both Mason and Dean were searched thoroughly when they returned to the jail during recesses yesterday. The court doors were barred with a police inspecting all spectators. Hits McAllen Testimony Similarly, Superior Court One, where Ernest Tait, Donald Nye and James Flaherty, alleged burglars, I are being tried, was heavily guarded. The defense attempted to shake the stories of star state witnesses by testimony of an FERA cleaning woman, an ex-convict and a former taxi driver. Mrs. Minnie Beddow', 810 S. In-gomar-av, w'ho was employed as a Courthouse charwoman during the former Dean trial, testified that she overheard Patrolman Michael McAllen tell friends that he could not identify the bandits. Patrolman McAllen, w'ho followed Sergt. Jones into the garage, has identified Mason and Dean as two of the gunmen.
