ROOSEVELT IS TOPS IN lOWA. STOKES SAYS AAA Decision Solidified Him With Farmers, Writer Declares. (Continued From Page One) this year and there is also some talk about him as a Presidential Candida te—but this is not taken very seriou'ly. Mr. Dickinson has 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. 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. First Hurdle June 8 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 campaign 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 is 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.

PREDICTS SAVING IN GAS PRODUCTS USE Carr Urges Inquiry by City to List Possibilities. Dr. Silas J. Carr, City Council safety committee chairman, Monday night is to tell councilmen that great savings could be made jf city units purchased fuel and oil from the Citizens Gas and Coke Utility. "Since the city now owns this utility, I think chemists from the Park and Works Boards should visit the plant and see if the tar byproducts could be used on city streets and boulevards.” he said. An ordinance is pending which would require expenditure of $31,000 for coal to heat City Hospital. Dr. Carr thinks coke should be purchased from the utility. The taxicab licensing measure is not to be handed down for second reading Monday night, Dr. Carr announced. The committee, he explained, still has to make several minor changes.

Shakeup in Personnel of State Milk Board Urged James Nelson, Retired Dairy Operator, Charges Present Group Not High Grade, Neutral Body. 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 monthly 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. Neiaon said. "Milk prices should be established on the scientific basis of butterfat content instead of the arbitrary four grades which now ave 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. Difficulties Are Described Mr. Nelson described the difficulties encountered by the farmerdairyman in getting a fair price for his milk. “if any one can sell milk for 8 cents instead of 9 he should be allowed to do so, as long as the dis-

tributor makes a fair profit,” he said. After Mr. Nelson’s charges, the Federation adopted a resolution calling 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. Milk Law Attacked The Indiana Supreme Court today was considering arguments for and against the validity of the state milk control law following oral arguments yesterday by two South Bend attorneys. We lter ArnoM attacked the act on the ground that arbitrary power is granted the State Milk Board to refuse without justification to license dealers. The court review provided

Havoc wrought by the wreck of the crack Reading Railroad train. "The Williamsport.” bound from Williamsport. Pa., to New York City, is strikingly shewn in this air view. Below the overpass from which the limited leaped when the engine and tender struck a broken rail are shown the cars piled along the highway. The wreck caused the first death of a passenger which has occurred in a rail accident since 1934. The engineer and the firemen also were fatally hurt, and not one of the 32 other passengers escaped injury. Passengers were trapped in the coaches and were rescued through windows, in near-zero weather. Hundreds of feet of track were ripped up in the disaster.

2 ALLEGED GUNMEN FACING LIFE TERMS Habitual Criminal Charges Filed at Logansport. Times Special LOGANSPORT, Feb. I.—Two alleged desperadoes, arrested here when police found both heavily armed, today faced possible life imprisonment as authorities charged them with being habitual criminals. The’ pair, identified as Earl E. Hall, 42, Oshkosh, Wis., and S. I. Dawson, 45, Peoria, 111., are said by police to be former convicts of both state and Federal penitentiaries. Their criminal records, according to Prosecutor Robert David, date back to 1919, and since that time have included convictions of burglary, auto banditry, and assault with intent to kill. The two, if found guilty, will be among the first sentenced under Indiana’s habitual criminal statutes, enacted in 1933. 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 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. in the act is so written that the review would be worthless, he charged. Roland Obenchain contended the Indiana law closely follows the New York and New Jersey acts, which have been held valid. He said no arbitrary authority has been placed in the board’s hands. The case came before the Supreme Court as the result of the milk board's attempt to restrain two northern Indiana dairies from further operation.

LAW TO BLAME FOR CRIME, IS NOLAN'SjELIEF District Attorney Aims at Partisan Politics in Address. Failure of the law to provide for security of the marses and the association of partisan politics with prosecutions largely is responsible for lawlessnes stoday, Val Nolan, United States district attorney, believes. In an address before the Indiana rosecutors’ 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 conenction of 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 refusel to prosecute at 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 al 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 prc-secutor i nany case, is the primary and important job of an yprosecuting officer. "And if the prosecutor is indifferent to attaining that record, individual liberty must not be sacrificed becaus eof his indifference, but a triumphant war on crime must be assured, by waging war the prosecutor. Solicitude for the individual leads to a minimum regard for the general security and and security of social institution sand 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 IS-th 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.

GAS PIPE LINE TO DETROIT IS TO TOUCH CITY Construction Made Possible by U. S. Victory in Anti-Trust Suit. Timet 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 Ropers 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-Il’inois line at Dana, Ind. Originally planned by Frank Parish and firtanced through his Mis-souri-Kansas Pipe Line Cos., iha Panhandle was halted by Columbia securing control. Brought Suit in Delaware Parish was prosecuted and acquitted 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 lour 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, LEGION TO ANNOUNCE BEST ESSAY WRITERS Winner to Broadcast Over WFBM; School to Get Medal.
