NEW DEAL COST DRAWS FIRE OF YOUNG TEDDY 15-Point Program Outlined by Speaker Before Grass Rooters. Indiana Republicans today considered a 15-point program offered by Col. Thcdore Roosevelt Jr.. New Deal critic, in his addresses io Hoosier G. O. P. ‘ grass roots" meetings yesterday. Col. Roosevelt spoke before a capacity crowd in English's Theater and to an overflow audience in the Columbia Club yesterday afternoon under the auspices of Hoosier Republicans. Inc. The program called for: 1. Reduction of governmental expenditures by abolition of NR A offices and curtailment of Works Progress Administration and Public Works Administration. 2. Balancing the national budget by a system of controlling all governmental expenses. Wants Currency Stabilized 3. Substitution of the dole for made work with the burden of expense and administration on local governments. 4 Limited old-age and unemployment insurance benefits established under state laws with Federal support and co-ordination. 5. Stabilization of currency as an aid to business recovery and unemployment problems. 6. Revive and enforce anti-trust laws and abolish all government agencies which tend to protect monopolies. 7. Decentralize government “wherever practical.” 8. Adequate national defense and a policy of isolation from foreign disputes. Favors Increased Taxes 9. Withdrawal of government from competition with private individuals and companies. 10. Regulation of taxation to protect small businesses. 11. Strengthening of Federal civil service regulations. 12. Increase of taxes. 13. Preservation of the divided responsibilities system of government with the three branches, administrative, judicial and legislative, functioning in conformity with the Constitution. 14. Preservation of rights and liberties of citizens under the Constitution. 15. Survival of the Supi - eme Court as a body not subordinate to the wishes of the executive or Congress. Farley Draws Attack The PWA and the WPA are “a gigantic slush fund that is being used to win the next election,” Col. Roosevelt charged in a bitter attack upon James A. Farley, Postmaster General and Democratic National Committee chairman. "It has been estimated that government benefits in one way or another are going to over 22.000,000 people—more than half of those who voted in 1932,” Col. Roosevelt said. He predicted that Mr. Farley will “out-Tammany Tammany” to win the next election. Demands that the Republican party in Indiana be free from suspicion of "bossism or factionalism” were made in resolutions passed Saturday. Irwin Raps Selfishness Significantly, former Senator James E. Watson, a leader of the conservative element within the state party, was a guest at the Columbia Club Saturday afternoon but did not attend the conference. "This is not the time for personal ambition to dominate the success of the issue, and there is no place within this structure for any organization or individual seeking personal or selfish aggrandizement,” Don Irwin, Republican state chairman, said. "You can never convince me that we would have lost Indiana either in 1932 and 1934 had we had active, courageous leadership. I feel that the time has come when we must reorganize the Republican Party from the ground up and let the chips fall where they may,” Benjamin Wallace Douglass, Brown County G. O. P. chairman and writer, said. Reunion Is Held Reunion of Col. Theodore Roosevelt Jr. and several of the men who fought with him in the First Division took place yesterday before his lecture at the Republican "grass roots” meeting. Among persons who attended were Earl T. Bonham, Harry H. Martin, H. M. Van Natter of Vincennes, Dr. W. H. Lee, Elmer L. Jarvis. Wayne w. Smith, Rqbert A. Hendrickson. Andrew H. Golden of Connersville and Schuyler Mowrer. GUARD HEADS RESENT ATTACK BY BUTLER Indiana Officers Displeased Over General’s Magazine Article. MaJ. Gen. Smedley D. Butler's magazine description of the National Guard as "an organization wedded to the defense of big business” brought expressions of resentment fror Indiana Guard officers. At their annual dinner Saturday night at the Claypool, Maj. Gen. Robert H. Tyndall offered a resolution criticising Gen. Butler. He pointed out that since Gen. Butler has been on the public pay roll for years and still is on the government pension list, attacks on the Guard from such sources are in bad taste. Gov. McNutt spoke on national defense and dinner music was provided by the 139th Field Artillery batjd of Lebanon, Lester De Bard directing. The dinner was in charge of Lieut. Howard Maxwell. Indianapolis, president of the Indiana National Guard Association, and A1 Wynkoop, Lebanon newspeoer man, was toastmaster. DOCTORS MEET TUESDAY Group to Discuss Habit-Forming Drugs and Effects Members of the Indianapolis Medical Society are to discuss habitforming drugs and their effect on addict* at a meeting in the Athenaeum Tuesday night. Dr. Murray DeArmond. Dr. Paul G. Iske and Dr. William M. Dugan are to speak.

Smith Rallies Old Foes in Fight on Roosevelt; New Dealers Jeer Back

Record of 1928 Campaign Is Cited to Refute AFs Barbs. • (Continued From Page One) which sponsored and heard Smith's address were those interested in "the license to pillage and control the functions of government.” "In the old days it used to be the ra-adio,” he spluttered. "He's even reformed his language. It’s now radio. He now has moved uptown.” He brought shouts of laughter and applause as he cleared his throat and addressed the House as "fellow rubber stamps.” Woodrum asserted that Smith’s "unequal ego doubtless was feeding on the applause from a gathering—--75 per cent of whom in 1928 started a well-known whispering campaign.” Rep. Fish Defends A1 Rep. Hamilton Fish. <R., N. Y.), lanky former Harvard all-American football tackle, then upbraided Woodrum for his "personal attack on Smith and challenged him to meet the issues laid down by Smith's address. Meanwhile, the question of whether Smith will bolt the Democratic party for the first time in his political career stirred excited interest in national political circles. Democratic leaders declared Smith must explain for himself what he meant when he said that, if the 1936 convention indorses the New Deal: "There is only one or two things we can do. We can either take on the mantle of hypocrisy or we can take a walk—and we will probably do the latter.” Republicans, however, professed no uncertainty over Smith’s meaning. Senator Daniel O. Hastings iR., Del.) presented a typical reaction. “I think it’s very clear what he meant,” Mr. Hastings asserted. "It must be apparent that conservative Democrats can not be good enough Democrats to follow blindly a man who has taken them away from all principles espoused by the party for generations.” Smith’s Testimony Recalled The next question raised in political counsels was how far Smith would go if he does “take a walk," and what company he would have on the “walk.” The critical rejoinder to Smith’s attack made by Senator Alben Barkley <D„ Ky.) and Secretary of Interior Harold L. Ickes in which Smith's testimony before the Senate Finance Committee in January, 1933, was cited drew attention to statements made by the former New York Governor at that time. Senator Barkley charged that Snfiith urged the establishment of a “dictatorship of public works” and “shelving of the Constitution” in the crisis. Study of Smith's testimony failed immediately to reveal the exact quotations that Senator Barkley cited.

First to Reply First to reply—and “point to the records”—were Secretary of Interior Harold L. Ickes, Senator Alben W. Barkley (D., Ky.) and Donald R. Richberg, former NRA head. They accused Smith of repudiating the policies he advocated in 1928. Senator Joseph T. Robinson (D., Ark.), Smith’s running mate in the 1928 presidential campaign, will make the Administration's formal reply to Smith in a 30-minute radio address over a nation-wide hookup tomorrow night. His speech was more caustic than had been expected, and his repudiation of the New Deal more emphatic than political observers had anticipated. But he left his future course in doubt. His statement that he was born in the Democratic party and expected to die in it appeared to dispose of any possibility that he would campaign for a Republican presidential nominee or lead a coalition ticket of any kind. Tense With Emotion Smith, his voice tense with emotion, shouted that New Dealers might disguise themselves as Karl Marx, Norman Thomas or Lenin if they wished. “But what I won’t stand,” he added, “is to let them march under the banner of Jefferson, Jackson or Cleveland.” While politicians • speculated on the possibility Smith may become the active leader of a conservative Democratic move against Mr. Roosevelt’s re-election, Mr. Ickes and Mr. Barkley quoted Hoover in Washington’s Town Hall forum last night. They dramatized a “Socialism exchange” betw’een Hoover and Smith during the 1928 campaign. Barkley asked Ickes if he recalled the Hoover-Smith debate on Socialism. Speeches Are Recalled Mr. Ickes read an excerpt from what he said was Hoover's address at Madison Square Garden, New York, on Oct. 22, 1928. He quoted Hoover as saying Smith and his supporters had "abandoned the tents of their own party and turned to state Socialism” for a solution of the country's problems. “ ‘The cry u socialism,’ ” Ickes quoted Smith as saying in Boston two days later, "has been patented by large interests that desire to put a damper on forward, progressive legislation. “ ’Failing to meet arguments fairly and squarely, special interest falls back on the old stock phrase of socialism. ... To refer to the remedies for all these evils as state socialism is not constructive statesmanship, it is not leadership, and leadership is what the country is hungry for today.’” The White House was silent. Presidential secretaries refused even to reveal whether President Roosevelt had heard Smith's speech on the radio. Senator Norris Critical Senator George W. Norris <R.. Neb.), who supported Smith in 1928 and has been friendly toward many New Deal measures, belittled the New Yorker’s speech as offering nothing new and representing the "suppressed feeling of a bad loser.’’ The peroration, he said, "was that of a demagogue.”

Unique Period in U. S. Politics Inaugurated by League Dinner. (Continued From Page One) for unemployment insurance and old-age pensions. But when he criticised the kind sponsored by Roosevelt, the audience tcok a reassured breath and applauded. Justice's Son Cheers When Smith gave thanks to divinity for the Supreme Court. Winslow B. Vandevanter was among his listeners. Vandevanter is a son of the Supreme Court justice, who has voted against the New Deal on each issue presented to the court. Ralph o. Brewster was there, the Republican congressman from Maine who told New Dealers he was with them in their fight for the holding company bill, sat with them at their strategy meetings, and then voted against them, denouncing them as he did so. So were 11 other Republican members of the House. So was James A. Emery of the National Association of Manufacturers. Two former Republican Senators were there. Bingham of Connecticut and Robison of Kentucky. William P. McCracken, a member of the Hoover Administration, and Judson C. Welliver, who dates from Harding days, were present. Albert Ritchie Attends So were Jay Cooke of Philadelphia, -whose ancesters made Republican history. Most of Baltimore’s Democracy rallied round, led by Albert C. Ritchie. And in this polyglot array were four men who once served in the New Deal—Dean Acheson, James M. Warburg, Ferry K. Heath and Stillman Evans. Few representatives of the West were present. Significantly, those few were for the most part from California, home of Hoover. Campaign contributions have indicated, for years, that business and finance pay little heed to party lines, but the Liberty League dramatized that fact as it has never oeen dramatized before. It marked, perhaps, the beginning of a New Deal Mr. Roosevelt didn’t contemplate. GRAIN DEALERS TO MEET HERE AAA Decision to Be Topic at * Annual Two-Day Session. More than 350 persons are expected to attend the thirty-fifth annual convention of the Indiana Grain Dealers’ Association to be held Thursday and Friday in the Indianapolis Board of Trade. It is expected to be the largest convention in the organization’s history, Fred K. Sale, secretary, said. The recent AAA decision, and general business conditions as they affect farmers, millers, grain dealers and allied interests are to be discussed. An annual dinner for members, their wives and guests is to be held Thursday night in the Columbia Club. Business sessions are to be presided over by G. A. Pritchard of Fortville, association president.

Bray, 64-year-old conductor for the Wabash Railroad, died of a heart ailment at his home here yesterday, just two days after his train had killed 12 persons in an accident near Grabill, Ind. Mr. Bray had been confined to his bed in his home since his arrival here following the accident which took the lives of a father, mother, and their 10 children. Dr. Clyde R. Van Gundy, attending physician, said that the shock of the accident led to Mr. Bray's death.

The strike has been in peaceful swing since New Year’s Day at nine plants, including one at Vincennes, Ind.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

ROOSEVELT MAY KEEP MISSOURI IN FALL VOTE Boss Pendergast Ready to ‘Go Down Line’ for President. (Continued From Page One) gotten west of the Mississippi, as east of it, in election year. The Roosevelt majority in Missouri probably will be far below the 460.000 he piled up against Hoover. Missouri was one of five states which gave Mr. Roosevelt more than a million votes in ’32, the exact total being 1,025,406. In that year, besides the deep-seated resentment against Mr. Hoover which was whipped up partly by the old war-horse Jim Reed, wdth his "Sir ’erbert” philippics, the Democratic candidate attracted support because of the party's wet platform. Double Hoover Vote This was responsible for Mr. Roosevelt's majority in St. Louis, center of the brewing industry, where he nearly doubled the Hoover vote in a city normally Republican by about 50,0000. St. Louis business men are sore over the New Deal, and loudly so. The city probably will go back into the Republican column. Business likewise is disgruntled in Kansas City. But the rural districts still seem to be for the President—defeat of the Triple A appears to have solidified this support—and, with the usual Pendergast majority in this city, which ran up to 70,0000 in ’32, the New Deal appears to be safe in Missouri. Sponsors of the Presidential candidacy of Gov. Alf. M. Landon of Kansas are asserting that his nomination would increase Republican strength in the farm communities of this neighboring state, but they do not profess that it would defeat President Roosevelt. G. O. P. Expresses Hope Beyond the possibility of help from the Landon candidacy, Republicans express hope from other factors. One is the preliminary show — which is all it is expected to be—that will be put on by Missouri Democrats in the contest for the gubernatorial nomination. Mr. Pendergast has given his blessing to Lloyd C. Stark, originator of the Stark apple, owner of one of the world’s biggest apple orchards, at Louisiana, Mo., a man who never has run for office before but has been active in politics for years. Mr. Stark, an Annapolis graduate, served eight years in the Navy and was a major in the field artillery overseas during the World War. He is a popular figure in the state and it is assumed that he attracted, rather than sought, the Pendergast support. Farm Leader to Oppose Him His nomination will be contested by William Hirth, president for years of the Missouri Farmers Federation, a big co-operative enterprise. He has been a leader in the long fight for Federal farm legislation. “Bill” Hirth is making open war on Pendergast "boss-ism.” He is an effective, two-fisted campaigner. While no one expects him to defeat the Pendergast choice, Republicans hope that he may so dramatize the boss issue as to drive many independent Democrats into the Republican fold this fall. The primary is in August. Republicans likewise point to the enthusiasm apparent in recent Republican district meetings all over the state under the direction of the aggressive Arthur M. Curtis. Springfield lawyer and national committeeman.

It’s a Long Row to Hoe Admittedly, however, Republicans have a long row to hoe in face of the Pendergast grip on the election machinery and the still disorganized condition of the Republican Party in Missouri. The only announced candidate for the Republican gubernatorial nomination is Edward H. Winter of Jefferson City, a newspaper publisher, former lieutenant governor and Speaker of the House, who was defeated in ’32 by Pendergast’s candidate, Gov. Guy B. Park. Another candidate may announce soon, Jesse Barrett of St. Louis, former attorney general, one-time state commander of the Legion and also once president of the Missouri Bar Association. A former member of the Roosevelt brain trust is doing effective campaigning against the New Deal in this state by proxy. This is young James P. Warburg, once an ardent supporter of the President, whose book, “Hell-Bent for Election,” is being distributed widely here by business men. STREET IMPROVEMENT PROJECT IS APPROVED Section of Brookside-av Here to Be Resurfaced. Resurfacing of Brookside-av from Tacoma-av to Rural-st was approved today by the Works Board.

JUST BACK FROM A TRIP TO WARM TROPICAL SEAS

This is what old salts must mean when they exclaim, "Shiver my timbers!” Anyhow, the remark would have been appropriate from any member of the crew of the S. S. Southern Prince, which steamed into New York harbor during the coldest portion of tne year, decked out in a gleaming coat of frozen spray. And only a few days before it had been cruising on the tropical seas off South America!

U. S. Press Divided on Merits of Smith Talk ‘Hardest BLa/ Yet Struck at New Deal,’ Says New York Times; ‘Bunk,’ Says St. Louis Paper. By United Press Representative editorial comment on Alfred E. Smith's Liberty League address follows: NEW YORK TIMES (Ind. Dem.)—“The hardest blow which the New Deal and Administration have suffered was delivered by Ex-Gov. Smith. . . . His bold and direct attack upon the policies in force at Wash-

ingtci during the last three years was a oolitical event of the highest significance.” NEW YORK HERALD-TRIBUNE (Rep.)—“Here is a plain intimation of an impending split uttered by the most powerful leader in the Democratic ranks next to the President himself. . . . His revolt constitutes a major threat to the gentlemen in Washington who have played ducks and drakes with the principles for which he stands.” ST. LOUIS GLOBE-DEMOCRAT —“No Republican opponent of the Administration has yet delivered an assault so uncompromising and devastating as this one of Gov. Smith.” ST. LOUIS STAR-TIMES—“AI Smith’s charge that the President is stirring up class warfare is the veriest bunk. .. . Although the Liberty Leaguers are unable to see it, Roosevelt stands between them and class warfare.” PHILADELPHIA EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER (Ind.)—“There has never been any doubt about the attitude of Mr. Alfred E. Smith toward President Roosevelt and his Administration. This is a fight within the Democratic party. But it is obviously of interest to Republicans and to all those who expect and intend to stand in opposition to the New Deal next .November.” PHILADELPHIA RECORD (Dem.) —“AI Smith’s speech to the LibertyLeague revealed more about A1 Smith than it did about anybody else. A man is known by the company he keeps. A1 can only be judged in 1936 by the people who cheer him in 1936.” CLEVELAND NEWS (Rep.)—“He (Smith) now sounds like the unhappy warrior.” CLEVELAND PLAIN DEALER (Ind.-Dem.)—“lt is in his emotional peroration in which he accuses the New Deal of ‘Socialism’ that Smith displays the amazing, and to many, the tragic change from the forward-looking executive of other years to the frustrated man who apparently can not live down his disappointment at not being President.” BUFFALO EVENING NEWS (Rep.)—“The resentment stirred up at Washington by his (Smith's) slashing attack shows that his arrows reached the mark. CHICAGO TRIBUNE (Rep.)— “Fidelity to party pledges, fidelity to party principles, fidelity to oath of office, fidelity to the institutions and principles which the officeholder is sworn to uphold, these are the essentials of popular government. They have all been betrayed by Franklin Roosevelt and the men who have supported him. This Mr. Smith has made abundantly plain.” CHICAGO DAILY NEWS—“Who can doubt that if A1 Smith, with his long record of fidelity to promises

made, had been the candidate of the Deomcratic Party, the promises made in that 1932 platform would have been fulfilled? “Had they been fulfilled, the United States today would have been leading the world toward recovery.” KANSAS CITY POST (Ind.)—“lt was a striking sight to see Democrats and Republicans united in the common cause of preserving the Constitution and the American form of government, now so vitally threatened and so dramatically saved by an intrepid Supreme Court." SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE (Rep.)—“Gov. Smith spoke for all those Americans who rightly fear the building up at Washington of an autocratic power.” KANSAS CITY STAR (Ind.) “Certainly millions of Democrats will share the serious and multiplied misgivings of their chosen leader of eight years ago.” OPPENHEIM STORE DAMAGED BT BLAZE Origin of S3OOO Fire Today Is Not Known.

ITALY REPORTS KILLING 10,000 Bulletin Says Rome’s Losses Kept at Minimum in Recent Battle. By United Press ROME, Jan. 27. —Ten thousand Ethiopians were killed in the recent battle of Ganale Dorya in southern Ethiopia, an official bulletin announced today. The bulletin said Italian losses were “held at a minimum.” Several hundred natives on the Italian side were listed as killed, wounded or missing. The bulletin said 1467 Ethiopians also were killed on the Somaliland front yesterday in a battle at Malca Murri, 130 miles northwest of Dolo, when the Italians occupied the town. It also was announced that the Italians defeated the Ethiopians at Uadara, and that the Ethiopians destroyed their own munitions depot after retreating there.

ESCAPE PLOT DENIED BY SCOTTSBORO BOYS Deputy’s Remarks Led to Attack, Is Claimed; Lawyers Incensed. By United Press BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Jan. 27. Attorneys for the nine Scottsboro Negroes hoped today to turn the wounding of one of the youths by a sheriff into a piece of good fortune for all nine. Incensed by the Negroes’ statements that a deputy sheriff goaded Ozie Powell, 21, into slashing at him with a knife, and that the deputy struck the handcuffed Powell before the knife was drawn, the lawyers indicated they would ask a Federal court to take jurisdiction. Samuel Leibowitz, New York, and C L. Watts, his Southern associate, asserted that a fair trial of the internationally known case was impossible in Alabama courts. American Kidnaped in Mexico By United Press MEXICO CITY, Jan. 27.—Max L. Quin, American mining man, was in the hands of bandits in Guanajuato state today. Federal soldiers were in close pursuit.

10 BELOW ZERO MARK TO STAY, CITYISWARNED City Grade Schools Close at Noon; Tomorrow’s Schedule Unknown. (Continued From Page One) p. m. and continued in zig-zag fashion to this morning's low. For 46 hours last weeek temperatures remained at zero or below, which is said by the Weather Bureau to set anew all-time record for Indianapolis. In 1918 the mercury stood at zero or below for 37 hours. Five Injured in Falls Five persons were injured over the week-end when they slipped and fell on icy walks and streets. Two boys were injured in a coasting accident. The injured are: Mrs. Nellie Martin. 40. of 4827 English-av; Mrs. Hazel Scott, 33. of 1617 N.

The fire department reported 25 small fires in the last 36 hours, ail ranging below S2OO in damage, due to defective flues and overheated furnaces. Interurban and railroad schedules were near normal. Shippers were forced to protect perishable goods from loss through freezing. Greenhouses in the county kept smudge-pots and fires high to protect green vegetables. City street cars were on schedule time, but taxicabs almost rivaled their last week’s rush business as a blue-cold Monday sent workers to offices and factories. Grip on State Tightened By United Press Winter tightened its grip on Indiana today with anew cold wave which sent temperatures below zero for the second time within five days. Eight deaths were recorded over the week-end, increasing the cold weather toll to approximately 30. The subzero wave was pushed into Indiana last night by a 20-mile-an-hour wind. Low temperatures are expected to remain for at least 36 hours. Low Temperatures Forecast Temperatures as low as 10 degrees below zero were forecast for today by the United States Weather Bureau. With the snow on the ground already packed, there is little danger of drifting and blockading of highways, as was the case in the first wave. Schools throughout most of the state were expected to re-open today. Dead Are Listed The deaths included: Thomas J. Gray, 86, Indianapolis, died in Rochester from injuries received when he fell on icy pavement last Wednesday. Edward C.
