Nov. 4 May Find Rush County With State’s Youngest, Prettiest Auditor

Feminine Deputy Files; Is Only Democratic Candidate. Rush County may have the youngest, piettiest, county auditor in Indiana after Nov. 4. Prettiest? Yes! prettiest—for Miss Fern E. Jordan, 22, present chief deputy auditor, has filed es the only candidate on the Demociatic ticket for county auditor, ana five men are running for the same job on the Republican ticket. Miss Jordan doesn't believe in counting votes before they are cast any more than adage-makers do in counting chickens, but she says that if every one who says he’ll vote for her will do so, she’s sure to win. In Rush County and Rushville a victory for a Democrat Is a mansized job, but the town and county organization pin tlv-ir faith on Miss Jordan repeating for the party in the auditor’s office. Qualifies With Experience She has been county auditor *n duties, if not in name, since November when her boss, County Auditor Edgar Stiers, became ill. Mr. Stiers is the only elective official of his party in the courthouse. Miss Jordan is modest about her knowledge of tax rate making. Knowing more about poor relief bonds than lipstick brands, she is reluctant to talk about her work. “But I do get along well with the three Republican county commissioners since handling Mr" Stiers’ work,” she says. Graduated from high school in 1931, she became a stenographer in a lawyer’s office and in 1933 the chief deputy auditor under Mr, Stiers. “—And,” says her mother, Mrs.

‘Pope Plan’ Is to Be Subject of Senate. Probe

Inquiry Into Pension Idea of Chiropodist to Follow OARP Check. BY MAX STERN . Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, March 30.—The 'Pope plan” for pensioning all Americans at 55, and increasing the pensions as they grow older, is scheduled to follow the Townsend plan before the Bell Committee’s searchlight. Fathered by “Dr.” J. E. Pope, a Tulsa chiropodist, who in the past has promoted various schemes, this plan has been operating throughout the South and Southwest with success second only to that of the Townsend plan. It has been winning thousands of supporters among the Negroes and whites of Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas, Missouri and Illinois, and word comes from the deep South that organizers are barnstorming the cotton belt in large numbers. “Dr.” Pope was first to see gold “in them thar hills.” He began promoting his scheme a full year ahead of Dr. F. E. Townsend. A Virginian, he moved to Arkansas, then to Texas, then to Oklahoma. In the spring of 1932 he launched his “National Old-Age Pension Association.” Sells Eight-Page Tabloid His method is not to organize clubs or collect dues from members. He prints and sells an oi'ht-page tabloid called The National Forum and Federal Old Age Pension Advocate. It sells for a dollar a year— j cash, not stamps—and the two-bit pieces come tumbling in. “Dr.” Pope claims a circulation of 100,000, but he says he has "a lot of unpaid subscriptions.” Under the Pope Plan, Americans are offered Federal pensions of S3O at the age of 55; S4O from 60 to 65: SSO for all past 65, “regardless of income or worth.” No mention is made of how the money is to be raised. “Dr.” Pope is sleek -and middleaged, and has a sanctimonious air. About two years ago Rep. Wright Patman (D., Tex.) told “Dr.” Pope’s life story on the floor of the House. He said that during a quarter century Pope had been arrested and convicted twice, and another time indicted, for misuse of the mails and frauds of various kinds. Sent to Leavenworth He was convicted in 1904 at Houston, Tex., and sent to Leavenworth for 18 months. In 1923 he was arj rested at Fort Worth and pleaded ; suilty to misuse of the mails in an oil swindle, served 60 days and paid a SSOO fine. In 1927 he was arrested in Denver and indicted for a stockselling scheme, “taking in over $lO,000.” “The indictment,” added Rep. Patman, “was dismissed because Pope had evidently reformed and WHITE SHRINE ELECTS Mrs. Katherine Armbruster Named High Priestess of Organization.

Jack Jordan, “she didn't think she could handle the deputyship when she was first asked to take the job and now—well we hope she’s elected.”

was leading an honest life as a chiropodist at Tulsa.” at his Washington office if the Patman statement were true “Dr.” Pope showed irritation. “Oh,” he said, “that’s all in the past. Why bring that up?” The Pope plan was embodied in a bill introduced in the last Congress by Rep. Disney (D.. okla.) and Senator Capper (R., Kas.) in. the Senate. Rep. Rogers (D., Okia.) later became its most active sponsor in Congress. SCIENTIST TO PRESENT STUDY OF RARE BIRDS Cornell Ornithologist to Speak for Nature Club. Dr. Arthur A. Allen, Cornell University ornithology professor, is to describe his search with a microphone, sound mirror and motion picture camera of the voiced of vanishing birds Thursday at the American Central Life auditorium. Sound motion pictures of such rare birds as the trumpeter swan, sandhill crane, ivory-billed woodpecker, water ouzel, lesser prairie chicken and a golden eagle are to be presented by Dr. Allen. The pictures were obtained by Dr. Allen and his co-workers in a 15,000-mile trip to the native habitants of the birds. The ivorybilled woodpecker, sandhill crane and trumpeter swan were once refdent of certain sections of Indiana. The illustrated lecture is being sponsored by the Nature Study Club of Indiana. Samuel E. Perkins 111 is in charge of the event. VETERANS TO READ HOOSIER’S ARTICLES Writings of Dr. Robert Levell to Be Placed in Naval Home. Dr. Robert O. Levell, Newcastle, registered podiatrist and national secretary of Naval Veterans of the World War, today received notice from the office of the governor of the United Naval Home that three of his articles of interest to veterans are to be made available to the inmates of the home. The articles are entitled the “Lighthouse,” “Liberty Bell” and the “Statue of Liberty.” A picture is to accompany each article. The Naval Home provides a residence for aged, wounded or helpless Navy men who are unable to support themselves. NAVAL VETERANS TO MEET HERE SATURDAY Program to Include Business Session, Sightseeing Tour.
