ROOSEVELT IS * TOPS IN lOWA, STOKES SAYS AAA Decision Solidified Him With Farmers. Writer Declares. BY THOMAS L. STOKES Timri Special Writer DES MOINES. Ia„ Feb. I.—The name of Franklin D. Roosevelt is still one to conjure with in lowa. The grumbiing of the business element which rises elsewhere is not so noticeable here, for lowa is predominantly agricultural and the heart of the farmer out in the com rows—now buried under several inches of snow—still beats warmly for the man In the White House. Mr. Roosevelt's strength appears to have been solidified by the Supreme Court decision which killed AAA, and the state's 13 electoral votes should be chalked down in the Roosevelt column in November. The New Deal influence may sweep out of public Hie at the same time a former idol of lowa, Senator Lester J. Dickinson, the whitehaired orator who has raised his voice so often against the Roosevelt regime. The Senator is up for re-election this year and there is also some talk about him as a Presidential candidate—but this is not taken very seriously. Mr. Dickinson har. alienated many of his former farm supporters by his fight on the AAA. Other former friends have been angered by his attacks on New Deal programs with which they are affiliated. He has attracted the anti-New Deal element, of course, but close observers of lowa politics believe this will be a minority in November. First Hurdle June 8 Nor have the farmers liked their Senator’s tirades against Secretary Wallace, an lowan who has grown in popularity here because of the farm relief program he devised for President Roosevelt. Senator Dickinson has a preliminary hurdle in the lowa primary, which comes on June 1. eight days before the Republican National Convention meets at Cleveland. If he should lose there his presidential boom would collapse immediately. Just how formidable a foe he may have in the primary—if any—depends upon negotiations now going on. There is some disposition in the Republican organization to squelch any hopefuls on the theory that, while the Senator's course in Washington has not been to the liking of every one, he has fought the regular Republican fight and should not be sacrificed because of it. But former Senator Smith Brookhart is thinking about trying to take Senator Dickinson’s measure in the primaries—and the organization can have no influence with Mr. Brookhart, for he always has fought it. The entrance of Mr. Brookhart, who has worked with the New Deal in Washington, is said to depend upon his success in getting together a mpaign fund. There Are Other Possibilities There Is still a possibility that former Gov. John Hammill, who has been friendly to the New Deal farm program, may challenge Senator Dickinson’s right to return to the Senate. Howard Clark, a Des Moines attorney, who has not held political office before, also is discussed. The Democratic senatorial candidate, it appears now, will be Gov. Clyde L. Herring. He already has announced. He may have opposition in the primaries. The Republicans may benefit, from a series of scandals in the Democratic state regime involving alleged slot machine rackets, campaign fund irregularities and liquor stamp frauds. Gov. Herring, who has not been involved personally, has a way with him of glossing over such apparent handicaps. He has a frank, wisecracking manner that wins friends. Keeps State in Good Humor His exploits keep the state in good humor, such as his visit to Gov. Floyd Olson to present the Minnesota chief executive with an lowa pig. which was the stake in a football bet involving the two state university teams. He’s full of such tricks and lowans seem to like them. There is one aspect of the New’ Deal which farmers do not like and which Republicans will capitalize heavily in the campaign. This is the spending program. lowa farmers abhor debt. They have had enough of it. They are pretty well liquidated now, but their comment on the state of the Union includes frequent references to the public debt, even including the cost of AAA. Oppose Big Expenditures “It's just one tax piled on top of another," said one farmer who was against AAA. "They vote billions and never think where the money L ; coming from.” “It looks as if some day we’re going to have to pay for this money they re putting out now,” said another. Farmers have indicated some hostility toward relief expenditures, not only because of their size, but because, when they were faced with a shortage of labor, they saw ablebodied men drawing relief money from the Government.

SAFETY DRIVE OPEHED HERE City Police ‘Crack Down’ on Double Parking, for Business Firms. (Continued From Page One) Safety Committee chairman, today advocated the purchase of 15 light roadster autos for traffic policemen instead of that many motorcycles, because of what he claims are unreasonable prices submitted by motorcycle dealers. Traffic Officers Shifted “The city,” he said, “could save about S2OO a unit on the roadsters and have a trade-in value when they are no longer useful for traffic patrol. “Two companies have a monopoly on motorcycles, and for that reason demand high prices. This city doesn't choose to be held up. The roadsters would be a lot safer, besides.” Also in line with the campaign of safety, a statewide drive was launched last night at a meeting in the Board of Trade library. Representatives of more than 50 organizations and industries met with Reginald H. Sullivan, former mayor, as chairman, and decided

Huey’s Widow, Native Hoosier, Named to Serve Unexpired Term of Kmgfish

Friends Expect She Will Continue Battle* for ‘Share-Our-Wealth.’ isy United Pres* NEW ORLEANS, Feb. I—Friends of Mrs. Huey P. Long, appointed to serve the unexpired Senate term of her slain husband, believed today that she will attempt to revive his share-our-wealth movement and follow his independent policies. Receiving flowers and messages of congratulations by hundreds today in the $40,000 home her husband left her, Mrs. Long refused to discuss her policies. She will go to Washington within a few days to become the country's third woman Senator. Mrs. Long is a native of Greensburg, Ind. Reviews of her recent past uncovered little to help those interested in her future conduct, for she had remained in the background of Long's career for several years, but observers recalled with new interpretations that she had obtained clear title to copyrights, patents and the mailing list of his Share-Our-Wealth Clubs. When Long was making his first meteoric assaults on Louisiana political redoubts Mrs. Long, preferring domesticity, proved herself a capable political worker. Long repeatedly attributed his first election successes to her. Reared Three Children In Washington, with the assets of the Share-Our-Wealth organization and with the congressional mail franking privilege at her command, she may decide to seek power on her own account, friends believed. Long built the Share-Our-Wealth clubs through use of the franking privilege, employing a large staff to maintain contacts. He claimed 10.000,000 members. The Rev. Gerald L. K. Smith, his principal aid. has worked hard to keep the clubs alive since the Kingfifish was slain. The magic of the Long name might rejuvenate them. Aside from reorganization of the Share-Our-Wealth clubs, no one among either the Long faction's friends- or enemies could predict with any plausibility what Mrs. Long would do. She is a woman of polished manner and great personal charm. She has three children whom she reared almost alone while the Kingfish fought his later political wars. She has had small part in public affairs. It was possible to assume, and many did. that the Long machine had not appointed a successor to

But Mrs. Long refused to comment. She w'as appointed yesterday by Gov. James Albert Noe. In a formal statement she said she was "proud of the honor” and hoped “to be able to render profitable service to the people of Louisiana." She will find at least one close friend in the Senate, Mrs. Hattie Caraway (D., Ark.). Mrs. Caraway went to the Senate in similar circumstances as her husband’s successor. and won re-election in 1932 because Huey Long took his sound truck and his oratory to her aid in

one of his most spectacular campaigns. Leaders of the Long faction were jubilant at Mrs. Long’s appointment. They had been worried by the unplanned elevation of Noe, former Lieutenant Governor, by the death of former Gov. O. K. Allen. Today they accepted him as a dependable wheelhorse. Most enemies. of the machine adopted an attitude of tolerance. Frank J. looney, Shreveport attorney. who unsuccessfully opposed Allen for Long's senatorial place in the recent primary, said that she is “a fine little woman and if I had to select somebody from that crowd I would rather pick her than any one else."

BONUS PAPERS STILLPOUR IN Veterans’ Office Here Kept Busy Filing, Checking Applications. Bonus applications from Indiana World War veterans now living in other states and from Hoosier exservicemen, today kept the United States Veterans Bureau, regional office, on Cold Springs-rd, busy filing, checking and certifying them. Warnings were reiterated by John H. Ale, regional manager, that veterans be sure the fingerprints on the applications are sufficiently clear for identification purposes. Applications being received from outside the state are from veterans who made loans on their policies through the Indianapolis regional office. Following certification of the applications here, they are to be sent to the United States Veterans Bueau in Washington, so that fingerprints can be checker! with Navy and War departments records. The Indianapolis Power and Light Post 300, American Legion, is to meet Monday night at the Morris-st station, 1230 W. Morrisst, to distribute bonus applications and information to its members. GIANT SLEEPING PLANE COMING FOR DISPLAY American Airlines Bringing First of New Transports Here. Indianapolis citizens soon are to have an opportunity to inspect the first of the new Douglas sleeper transport planes, William Roose, city sales manager for American Airlines, Inc., announced today. The first plane of a fleet purchased by American Airlines is to be exhibited on the West Coast this month, after which it is to be shown in Chicago, Indianapolis and other midwest cities, Mr. Roose - said. The new Douglas sleeper transport is to be the largest land ship to fly in the United States, costing more than SIOO,OOO. The ship wt* to have been shown here this month, but the tour was delayed.

Shakeup in Personnel of State Milk Board Urged Demand for a shakeup in the personnel of the State Milk Board was voiced last night by James Nelson, retired banker and dairy operator. at the Federation of Community Civic Clubs month’y meeting at the Washington.

The present board, Mr. Nelson charged, is comprised of persons interested personally in the milk business instead of being a highgrade neutral board. Heads of two co-operatives are drawing large salaries at the expense of the consumer, Mr. Nelson said. “Milk prices should be established on the scientific basis of butterfat content instead of the arbitrary four grades which now are being used,” he continued. “Under the present classifications the farmer is exploited on one hand and the consumer on the other. “Ice cream, butter and condensed milk manufacturers as well as distributors pay different prices for the same milk. This levies a tribute on the small producer under the checkoff system.

LAW TO BLAME FOR CRIME. IS NOLAN'SBELIEF District Attorney Aims at Partisan Politics in Address. Failure of the law to provide for security of the masses and the association of partisan politics with prosecutions largely is responsible for lawlessness today, Val Nolan. United States district attorney, believes. In an address before the Indiana Prosecutors’ Association last night in the Claypool, Mr. Nolan warned that if prosecutors are not interested in honesty and justice "war must be waged on the prosecutor.” "If prosecutors in Indiana had built up an abiding faith that prosecutions are invariably courageous, intelligent and indiscriminate, we would not be embarrassed by the sordid spectacle of the armed National Guard supplanting civil authorities in four great counties of Indiana,” Mr. Noland said. Hits Partisan Force “In popular government, the close convention off administration of criminal justice with partisan politics is an inherent obstacle to enforcement of criminal law. "The prosecutor can not expect unbiased, indiscriminate law enforcement from police officers and judges unless he performs his duties ■without dictation or influence from partisan politics. “One discrimination in favor of a political friend, one refusal to prosecute a case that should be prosecuted, one unwarranted dismissal of an indictment, one groundless recommendation for a suspended sentece is all that it takes, in my opinion, to destroy a prosecutor's self-respect and all hope of a completely successful tenure of office. Up to Prosecutor “This building into a community of the consciousness that neither political nor personal interest can reach the prosecutor in any case, is the primary and important job of any prosecuting officer. “And if the prosecutor is indifferent to attaining that record, individual liberty must not be sacrificed because of his indifference, but a triumphant war on crime must be assured, by waging war on the prosecutor. Solicitude for the individual leads to a minimum regard for the general security and and security of social institutions and to reliance upon strictly regulated punitive justice, hampered at all points by checks and balances and technical obstacles. Think in Terms of Society “This emphasis has made for increased individual self-assertion which the lSth century taught us was the end to be promoted by the legal order, and is making for conscious and aggressve self-assertion at a time when the general security demands that we think more of an ordered society and less of individual freedom to do in all things as one pleases.” Pointing out the colonial rebellions, disregard of fugitive slave laws and riots in the early history of labor organization, Mr. Nolan denied that today there is a more inherent disregard for law than at other times in history.

HOME FOR JUVENILES APPROVED BY STATE George Bruce Says’ Structure Is Not Condemned by Marshal. The building which houses Marion County Juvenile Home has not been condemned by the state fire marshal, as reported in yesterday's Times, George Q. Bruce, said today. The property complies with a*! city and state building codes and regulations, according to Mr. Bruce. John S. Newhouse, president of the Board of County Commissioners, has said the building is unsuited to the needs of the county.

Mr. Nelson described the difficulties encountered by the farmerdairyman in getting a fair price for nis milk. "If any one car sell milk for 8 cents instead of 9 he should be allowed to do so, as long as the distributor makes a fair profit,” he said. After Mr. Nelson's charges, the Federation adopted a resolution casing for a series of meetings between distributors, producers and consumers to iron out the present difficulties so a fair retail price can be established. Chief Morrissey described the new traffic stickers and the operation of the police department. Lieut. Albert G. Parrott explained the operation of the Bertillon department. Paul C. Wetter presided.

GAS PIPE LINE TO DETROIT IS TO TOUCH CITY Construction Made Possible by U. S. Victory in Anti-Trust Suit. j Timrs (Special WASHINGTON. Feb. I.—lndianapolis is certain to be included in the $20.000 000 gas pipe line to Detroit. construction of which now has been made possible by the government’s victory in the anti-trust suit, assistant attorneys general in charge of the case said today. The decision as to how soon cnostruction will start and what route it will take rests with Gano Dunn, New York, engineer-trustee of the Pandanlde Eastern Pipe Line Cos. Dunn, former president of the J. G. White Engineering Cos. and a member of Secretary of Commerce Roper's business advisory council, was appointed trustee by the court upon recommendation of government attorneys. By bringing suit against the Columbia Gas Electric Cos., Federal authorities were able to "uncork” the Panhandle pipe line which came to a dead end 75 feet over the Indiana-lllinois line at Dana, Ind. Originally planned by Frank Parish and financed through his Mis-souri-Kansas Pipe Line Cos., the Panhandle was halted by Columbia securing control. Brought Suit in Delaware Parish was prosecuted and acquit, ted in Chicago on Federal charges of fraud, claimed “persecution” got the Federal Trade Commission to investigate charges that monopolistic interest were thwarting his pipe line plans, and the attorney general broke the deadlock of the line into Indiana by bringing suit in chancery court in Delaware. That suit was won yesterday and it is this decision that paves the way for continuing the pipe line through Indianapolis to Detroit or into eastern cities, lawyers explained. Whether the already constructed Indiana Transmission Cos. line, owned by Columbia and running four miles north of Indianapolis, will be used in the Panhandle extensions is one of the tihngs Mr. Dunn will decide. Various routes and cost have been suggested ranging from $12,000,000 to $28,000,000 but all include Indianapolis Federal attorneys say.
