RESIGNATION OF MKINNEY SEEN AS LOGICAL ACT Expected Move Would Be Result of Work by His Aids. BY JAMES DOSS Expected resignation of E. Kirk MrKinney, Indiana manager of the Home Owners Loan Corp., to seek the Democratic nomination for Governor would be a logical result of his lieutenants' activities during the last two or three months. It has been an open secret for some time that Mr. McKinney is ambitious to become Indiana's next chief executive. In fact, Mr. McKinney's political ambitions, plus his allegiance to Senator P'rederick VanNuvs, almost put him into ihe fight for the senatorial nomination in the last Democratic state convention when Senator Sherman Minton, the state administration choice, spread-eagled a field that included then Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan as the VanNuys nominee. Then, Mr. McKinney would have had to fight, only with his Marion County and legation and what little out-state strength Senator VanNuys could have mustered. C an Point to Record Now, Mr. McKinney and his supporters can point to the record he has made as Indiana manager of the HOLC. The Indiana setup is said to have been unusually successful in comparison to HOLC organization and administration in other states and to have been used as a model in many instances. I here apparently is no question that he rates well in Washington, in view of the executive position offered him in the national HOLC. Theoretically, Federal agencies can not be used as political machines but, naturally, the practice is something else. VanNuys and McKinney lieutenants have been ‘ beating the bushes” for prospective delegates and several times have challenged the state administration in county chairman elections. Shown in Elkhart County Most, recent examples of this was in Elkhart County where both sides claimed victory. It wasn’t a clearcut decision because it was discovered, peculiarly enough, that too many voles were cast. Political observers see the McKinney candidacy, if it develops, as a declaration of war by Senator VanNuys on Pleas Greenlee, Gov. McNutt’s patronage secretary. The senior Senator came back to Indianapolis last spring and issued an appeal to "old-line Democrats.” He served notice on the state administration publicly that lie would not stand for any more packed state conventions such as that which elected his colleague Minton. What He Meant r ßy packed conventions, Senator VanNuys meant conventions stacked with delegates who were state administration employes, relatives of employes or persons vitally beholden to the McNutt forces in any way. He reiterated this insistence last •summer at French Lick at the Democratic Editorial Association convention. There was a great deal of loose talk about a "truce” being effected with Senator VanNuys. Gov. McNutt, Senator Minton and State Chairman Omer S. Jackson participating. The so-called "truce” was what the boys in the back room know as a lot of malarkey. The prospective McKinney candidacy is the second of two political developments which came in sequence. Campbell Appointed Hardly more than a week ago. Alexander Campbell, Fort Wayne, was appointed assistant United States attorney in the northern Federal district. It was a VanNuys appointment. Mr. Campbell is a law partner of R. Earl Peters, former state chairman and now Indiana manager of the Federal Housing Administration. Mr. Peters once bucked the state administration ar.il has no love for Gov. McNutt nor his lieutenants.

OSCAR SUSPICIOUS OF CAMERA—AND WHY NOT?

•#*

The picture above shows Mrs. Thelma Williams, 12 04 W. 33d-st. as she posed with Oscar on the Jansen Turkey Farm, and Oscar, although quiet for a moment, was very suspicious of the camera.

Perennial Poser for Thanksgiving Picture Does Sprint About Farmlot in Ugly Mood. It became necessary to take Oscar’s picture again yesterday, and he was just as ugly about it as he was last year, which was pretty ugly. He was not only ugly to look at, but he also was in an ugly mood and ran around the lot so fast that his owner caught him only after a lone chas* ? i °

Oscar is a turkey that ought to be pretty meek at this time of the year when so many of his friends and relatives are carried off in certain Thanksgiving ceremonies that the Pilgrims thought up several years ago. Oscar lives on the Jansen Turkey Farm. 62nd-st and Allisonvillerd, and has lived there for much longer than most turkeys live—which is one year. He is large and for that reason has been the annual photographic subject, although he never seems to get used to it. Yesterday he ran like everything when J. G. Jansen, his proprietor, tried to get him. Mr. Jansen was armed with a long stick with a wire hook exThey displaced him as state chairman with Omer S. Jackson and they told him they would beat him for the Senate nomination in the convention. Mr. Peters scoffed. They beat him. It equally is true that the VanNuys faction wouldn’t play ball with Mr. Peters when a coalition would have blocked the Statehouse, so Mr. Peters is not known to nurse any great political affection for the senior Senator. May Be Olive Branch Thus, the Campbell appointment is regarded as an olive branch. Meanwhile, Mr. Greenlee has been absent from the Statehouse for some time, spending his time hunting with Democratic leaders, a large number of whom are the county chairmen with whom he has cast his fortunes. He is said to be bagging large quantities tof course, not more than the legal limit) of quail and rabbits and probably some political promises. It persistently is reported in Democratic circles that Mr. Greenlee either will take a formal leave of absence or resign Jan. 1 as secretary in order to make a governor campaign in the open.

tending from its end. After he got close enough. Mr. Jansen caught the hook around one of Oscar's feet and Oscar was down, and for a while it looked like he was out oi tne game. Charge on Captor But two other turkeys, frightened by something that happened in the next field, charged blindly into Mr. Jansen and took him out of play and Oscar was loose again. This went on for nearly 15 minutes, when Oscar finally was trapped. Then Mr. Jansen took out a penknife and clipped Oscar’s beak to make it look pretty, and placed Oscar on a chair. While the picture was taken Oscar seemed smugly satisfied with himself. He wasn't startled by the photographer’s flash-bulb, and he didn't start to leave after the first shot. He’s been photographed so much that he knows there always must be two. After the second shot, however, he got restless and Mr. Jansen took him outdoors. There Mr. Jansen endeavored to pose him again, but Oscar got temperamental and started to run. He unfortunately bumped into a tree and was recaptured. Then, instead of standing up for the picture, he sat down on the grass. No amount of coaxing would get him up, so Mr. Jansen moved him to another part of the yard. His new location seemed to suit him better, and he posed a bit grudgingly. All that was left then was to take Oscar back to his pen. Just as Mr. Janser got him there, Oscar got free, but fortunately in his blind flight, ran right into his pen and the incident was closed for another year.

BOARD LETS CONTRACTS ON NEWJCHOOL General Construction for Roberts Building to Cost $162,182. Indianapolis children who can't romp and play "like other kids” are to have anew school of their own. School board members last night authorized signing of contracts for expenditure of $209,008 for construction of the James E. Roberts School for Crippled Children. The building site is 10th and Oriental-sts. Service Construction Cos., cn a bid of $162,182, is to be awarded the general building contract. Other successful bidders were Fred Janitz, $29,440, heating and ventilating; Porter. Glore & Glass, $7802, electrical installation, and Frank Irish, $9494, plumbing and sewers. Action of the board is to be submitted for Public Works Administration approval. Construction may be started within 10 days. 16 Rooms in Building Funds for the building are to come from three sources—estate of Mrs. Henrietta West Roberts, $65,000; Federal grant of appreximately $98,000, and a school city bond issue of $55,000. The building, to be L-shaped, is to have 16 rooms and will be for use by children of grade school age. Crowded condition of the George Washington High School was brought to the attention of the board by a West Side Civic League delegation headed by Mrs. Frank Lentz, 1240 N. Tibbs-av, whd expressed the hope that measures to relieve the condition ■would be given precedence in any improvement program of the board. Painting Jobs Approved In reply, Merle Sidener, board president, stated the members were "very conscious” of the crowded condition and explained that the board building committee is making anew survey in the hope of arriving at some solution. Declaring financing school improvement is the major obstacle, Mr. Sidener said "it seems the only method is direct taxation which is likely to be exceedingly unpopular.” The board approved recommendations of A. H. Sielken, buildings and grounds superintendent, for painting the interiors of Schools 29.31 and 33, at a total estimated cost of $1822.

G. 0. P. MINUTE MEN HEAR ECONOMICS TALK Russell I. Richardson Attacks New Deal Procedure. "One New Deal fallacy is that economic laws are man made,” Russell I. Richardson said in an address last night at the G. O. P. Minute Men meeting in the Columbia Club. He charged that many New Deal laws have aroused antagonism among the various economic classes. Other speakers included Robert H. Orbison, William J. Guenther. O. B. Hanger, Frank H. Fairchild, Fred Jeffrey, Fred E. Shick and Floyd W. Burns. Two Groceries Robbed Loot valued at approximately S6O was taken last night in burglaries at groceries operated by John Hider, 545 Lake-av, and Mose Rootstern, 2216 Boyd-av. The loot consisted of meats, groceries and tobacco.

Young Pastor Accused of Modern Baptism Defends Stand in Illinois Court 22 Members of Congregation. Who Believe Immersion Necessary for Salvation. Would Deny Him *Un-Godly' Use of Church Property. By United Press MOUNT CARROLL. 111, Nov\ 27.—A dark-haired young pastor accused of abandoning the Bible for modernism today came into Circuit Court to defend his use of only a little water” to baptise members of his church. Twenty-two members of the First Christian Church of nearby Thompson, 111., who believe baptism by immersion is necessary' to salvation brought the action against the Rev. David E. Todd. 32, and three trustees. They would deny the pastor the use of church property for "un-Godly acts”—baptism by sprinkling.

Chagrined at the necessity of settling a church controversy in court, the quiet-spoken minister described himself as "neither a dictator or one w'ho wants to be a dictator.’ He said he had attempted to present both sides of the controversy in his sermons and had urged his parishioners to be governed peacefully by the wishes of the majority. He was supported by Bertha Holland, financial secretary of the rural church, who said she was the oldest member, "in length of service, that is.” "It wasn’t him that changed the baptism.” she testified. “We wanted it that way.” Baptism by Sprinkling Miss Holland produced church records to show the congregation voted 43 to 23 to admit members baptised by sprinkling. The petitioners offered seven new witnesses who agreed "the only true path to Christ lay in burial in water.” Among them were the Rev. R. A. Sword, Lanark. 111., evangelist, and Edward Hines, 80-year-old trustee. "Without doubt,” said Mr. Sword, “I am convinced sprinkling or pouring is not baptism.” In their complaint, the petitioners had alleged the youthful pastor taught that some miracles were myths but the court battle centers on the question of baptism. Mr. Todd, a graduate of the University of Spokane, also attended the University of Chicago for two years before starting his preaching career seven years ago. He has been pastor of the Thompson churcli since January, 1933. ‘Ducking’ Not Necessary Harry Gaar, president of the board of trustees, said he had been agitating against baptism by immersion for six or eight years and that a previous pastor admitted to membership his brother-in-law and sis-ter-in-law without "ducking” them ip water. Norman D. French, Thompson banker, one of the four new members baptised by sprinkling, said he considered himself a full-fledged member of the church. He said he joined the congregation because he wanted to co-operate with a church whose goal was a universal religion. Judge Albert H. Manus made two attempts yesterday to settle the controversy without a court ruling but was unsuccessful. Today he in-
