PLEAS MAPPING NEW ATTACK ON M'NUTrS AIDS Who’s Next? Is Speculation of Political Observers Watching Race. (Continued From rage One) others he regards as “ganging up" on him and his friends. The speculation as to the next Greenlee target embraces Vergil (Skits) Simmons, state conservation director; Bowman Elder, treasurer of the “2 Per Cent Club.’’ and Frank Finney, state auto license commissioner. Most of the gucssers give Mr. Simmons the “pole position.” Political Opinion Divided Naturally, political opinion is strongly divided as to whether Mr. Greenlee endangered his chanct: for the nomination by the McHale attack. Those who believe he did are the more numerous. They—and they include persons both pro and antiGreenlee—insist that no candidate can rip into another Democrat—no matter whom he may be—and still expect consideration from the rank and file of the party. Others say the jealousy within the Democratic party against Mr. McHale, because of his closeness to the Governor and the authoritative voice he is said to possess in the party’s inner councils, is so strong that the attack by Mr. Greenlee is meeting with much silent approbation. Claim Sympathy Solidified • This school of thought also believes the McHale attack served to solidify for Mr. Greenlee the sympathies of many of the party faction headed by R. Earl Peters, now Federal Housing Director for Indiana. They say it is true Mr. Greenlee joined with Mr. McHaic in crushing Mr. Peters’ senatorial hopes in the last state convention and, before that, in ousting him as state chairman. But, they point out, Mr. Greenlee then was executive secretary to Gov. McNutt, and was carrying out orders, whereas Mr. McHale merely was acting as a private individual with the anomalous and unofficial title of "No. 1 advisor.” Meanwhile, the feeling of tension at the Statehouse and elsewhere among state employes is heightened by the approach of April I—and it isn’t because that's April Fool’s Day. Fry Ouster Rumored There are several state department heads supposed to be irrevocably bound to the Greenlee cause and rumor persistently fixes April 1 as the date for their severance from the administration service. It was reported frequently prior to the special Legislature session that the “ax was to fall” on Paul Fry, state excise administrator, and Harry McClain, state insurance commissioner, to name two of the most influential Greenlee supporters. The special session was supposed to have delayed any such action because the Governor and his advisors had enough trouble on their hands in limiting the session to social security and keeping the “home rulers” at bay. Any “head chopping” directed against Greenlee followers, it is said, would have weakened the Governors influence with the Legislature if it occurred before the session was out of the way. On the Republican side, the search for a candidate stronger than those in the field continues. Gause. Hinted G. O. P. Choice Recently, a group of Republican leaders met at the Columbia Club and discussed the prospects of several potential candidates. It was supposed to be a secret session, but was about as much so as could be expected with so many invited. It was decided that Fred Gause, former Supreme Court judge, would be able to make a stronger race than Raymond Springer, 1932 loser, or any of the other announced Republican candidates. Mr. Gause, however, is said to be very reluctant to make the race so another session of the “strategy board” is to be held, it is said. Friends of Elza Rogers, Lebanon, a former state chairman and already announced, are said to b 5 trying to convince this group in search of a candidate that he can make such a strong appeal to all factions of the party that it is useless to search farther. CHANGES ARE MADE IN DISTRICT WPA CHIEFS W. F. Owens Transferred to Vincennes to Replace Skinner. W. F. Owens, Bloonfington, Works Progress Administration director in the Fort Wayne district, has been transferred in the same capacity to the Vincennes district by Wayne Coy, WPA administrator. Mr. Owens succeeds Theodore Skinner, who has been transferred to Monroe County. Forrest M. 'Woodward, assistant director in the Fort Wayne district, has been promoted by Mr. Coy to fill Mr. Owens’ place. The assistant director's post is not to be filled. Mr. Skinner's transfer resulted, it is said, from his attempting to pledge WPA foremen in the Vincennes district to Pleas E. Greelee. Gov. McNutt’s ousted patronage secretary, and one of the leading Democratic candidates for Governor. YOUNG REPUBLICANS TO MEET THIS AFTERNOON Dinner, Dance to Be Held in Claypool This Evening.

Rebirth of Hope for Jewish Youth in Palestine Described by Young Leader

Children Taken Far From German Hatreds, She Explains. The dawn of anew and confident Jewish civilization in Palestine, far from the despair and hatred of Germany, was described today by Mrs. Ilse Warburg, young leader of the German Jewish youth movement. Mrs. Warburg is visiting Mrs. J. A. Goodman, a director of Hadassah, American wing of the Palestine movement. Mrs. Warburg addressed a group at Mrs. Goodman’s home last night, her eighty-fifth American lecture. As she talks in her soft voice, Mrs. Warburg, a member of a prominent German-Jewish family, inspires confidence in the movement that has been her life since April, 1933. Jewish Culture Recreated The transportation of children from 15 to 17 from humiliation in Germany and the despair of refuge camps scattered throughout Europe means the recreation of Jewish culture and ideals and the rebirth of new lives to Mrs. Warburg. On the land purchased from the Araßs, the Jewish youth grow their food. “We give the children technical training in crafts, carpentry, mechanics, iron work and horticulture and agriculture. We do not encourage professional training, because we believe they should be independent, that is, able to make their own livelihood with their hands,” Mrs. Warburg said. “There are no limits to our future if we have the co-operation of the Jewish people. The young Jews are bringing anew life and energy to Palestine. What is most important is that we are restoring lost confidence to human beings. German Situation Desperate “The situation in Germany is so desperate that Palestine means the opening of anew life to these young people. The theory behind the youth movement is that it is almost impossible to rescue the old generation. “But the youth are able to respond and adjust themselves to the new mode of living.” Mrs. Warburg lives in Palestine, the assistant to Miss Henrietta Szold, 75-year-old American Jewess, who directs th eyouth colonies. Mrs. Warburg explained that “aliyah,” a term symbolical of the youth movement, means “going up.” Children Given New Hope “The children are given anew hope and'a new land. That is why going to Palestine is ‘going up’,” Mrs. Warburg said. She said that parents, frequently with tears in their eyes, apply to the youth movement authorities to have their children sent to Palestine. She told of one club-footed boy who stowed away on a boat from Warsaw, Poland, and then dragged himself to Palestine. Today, after three operations, his physique is normal and ne is working under the near-eastern sun in a colony garden. Approximately 1500 children have been taken to Palestine under the sponsorship of the “aliyah.” Cost Is Outlined „ The cost of maintaining one child is $360 for the two-year course. After the two years, f the young workers are skilled enough to take their places independently in the growing civilization. She said that the contributions of American Jewry are doing much to make a reality of the new civilization which, she feels, is the salvation and hope of her race. State Deaths ANDERSON—Mrs Eliza N.

If granted the court would then order Warden Mark O. Kimberling to show cause why he should not execute Hauptmann. If Kimberling failed to convince the court that he had cause, the court would set anew date for the execution. If he still refused to carry out the court order, Hauck said he would get a writof mandamus from the Supreme Court, forcing Kimberling to act. This, he pointed out, would permit Hoffman to delay the execution a ~hort time, but the delay would be less than under a reprieve.

County Agents of State Call in Farm Leaders to Form Crop Control Bodies Eight Marion Meetings, Listed by Horace Abbott, Are to Be Held Next Week: Committees to Direct Indiana Program of Soil Conservation. BY ARCH STEINEL Hundreds of meetings in townships and farm communities of Indiana next week were planned today as state agrarians accepted the Federal government s crop-reduction program of a co-operative venture of soil conservation, .

Returning from eighrt district meetings, where the new state AAA program was explained, county agents called in farm leaders to draft county organizations to obtain benefits from the government. County Agent Horace E. Abbott announced that Marion County meetings will be held next week at New Augusta, Nora, Lawrence, Warren Central High School, New Bethel, Southport, -Valley Mills and Bridgeport. Committees to Be Organized Under plans outlined at the district meetings yesterday—Marion .County leaders attended a session at Rushville—the county agents are to organize a supervisory committee of four persons for each township and farm community. Township committee chairmen are to form a board of directors and elect a county committee of three farmers to direct the soil-conservation program. Political candidates and Federal and county office holders are barred from becoming county and township committeemen. The township committees are to appraise or measure the acreage of each Indiana farm to determine the number of soil-conserving and soildepleting acres. Benefits to Average §lO Acre Benefits, which are to average $lO an acre for the nation, will be sll an acre in Indiana, A. F. Troyer, Marion, district supervisor for Marion and 10 other counties, declared. High productivity of Indiana land has resulted in the increased benefits to Hoosiers. Benefits accrue to farmers when CITY CIVIC BODY ELECTSWETTER Federation Renames Chief; Pastor Named First Vice President. Paul C.

they take shift soil-depleting crops and to soil-conserving. Federal bounties are paid to farmers converting up to 15 per cent of their soil-depleting acreage into conserving crops. Example Is Outlined For example, a farmer with 100 acres of actual cropland, who had 70 acres in soil depleting acreage, would receive benefits of an estimated $lO to sll an acre on all acreage converted up to 15 per cent of the 70 acres. Fifteen per cent of the 70 acres is 10.5 acres. His benefits would be the 10.5 acres multiplied byq $lO or sll. In the case of $lO this would mean $lO5 in benefits from the Federal government. Mr. 'Troyer'pointed out that in addition a farmer could receive $1 an acre for placing acreage in soilbuilding legumes such as crimson clover or soy beans and then turning them under as green manure crop. Soil-depleting crops in addition to corn, tobacco and potatoes, are wheat, oats, barley, rye (harvest for grain or hay), sudan grass and millets (harvest for hay or seed). Soil-conserving crops include clovers, grasses and other annual legumes. 85 Attend Meeting Yesterday’s district meeting in Rushville was attended by 85 farm leaders and county agents from 11 counties. Mr. Troyer and Peter J. Lux, Shelbyville, chairman the meeting, urged the farmers and county agents to complete all organization work within 10 days. Farm surveys in all counties will begin as soon as little AAA organization is set-up. Each farmer will receive a work-sheet for declaring his intentions of converting his cropland to soil-conserving, acreage. The performance as* pledged on that work sheet will betermine the Federal bounties to be paid him. “The farmer signs no contract. We merely tell him what he can do so that he can derive monetary benefit from his performance,” Mr. Troyer explained. County agents attending yesterday’s meeting expressed the belief that the change of pace in cropreduction, caused by ousting of the AAA, may mean that more farmers will co-operate and that larger benefits are possible for those farmers who have made a practice of sowing soil-depleting crops. The base of bounties is broadened under the conservation program to the point where a farmer with acreage suffering from erosion is benefited greatly by abandoning that acreage for corn production, it is said.

CITY CONSIDERS 5275-PER-MILE TROLLEY OFFER Indianapolis Railways Bid Hailed as Step Toward Accord. City officials today hailed the proposed Trackless trolley contract submitted to the Works Board yesterday as a definite step toward settlement of the Indianapolis Railways franchise dispute. In its proposal the railway company revealed that it was willing to pay the city at the rate of $275 a mile annually for the use of certain streets under a 20-year franchise. When the company's expansion program is completed, its trackless mileage is to include 49.3 miles. At the rate suggested, the company would pay the city approximately $13,475 annually, which is about S3OOO more than the SII,OOO the city has received since trackless trolleys made their debut here. Under the terms of temporary permits, the company has paid • the city 5 - per cent of reconstruction costs and 10 per cent of resurfacing costs for improvements and repairs to streets on which trolleys operate. Sliding Scale Provided The new contract provides for a sliding scale of payments for use of the streets. The first year the company would pay $137.50 a mile, and gradually increase this amount to $380.76 through the seventh year. Starting with the eighth year, it would pay $275 for the duration of the franchise. Under terms of the contract, payments would start in 1937 and would be paid semiannually. Permission also was asked to discontinue street car service on Cen-tral-av, Minnesota-st and Lincolnst, and substitute trackless trolleys. The contract also set out that the company would make a street conform to the condition or type of payment in the event that a line was abandoned. While not commiting himself on the proffered contract, Mayor Kern did say it was his opinion that a franchise based on annual payments for the number of miles of streets traversed by the trolleys constituted the basis of a desirable contract for the city. Further Study Planned The Mayor pointed out thai when the company increased its mileage, the city automatically would benefit in proportion, instead of having to enter into anew agreement. Members of the board and Corporation Counsel James E. Deery, declined to comment until after they had studied and discussed the proj posed contract. A public hearing may be held next week. Faces Murder Charge Robert Summers, 23, Negro, 1014 Edgemont-st, today faces a charge of murder. He was arrested yesterday after allegedly stabbing his wife, Mary Summers, at the home of her mother, Mrs. Dora Cole, 57, 941 i Roach-st. Summers and his wife had been separated.
