REDS, TOWNSEND DECLARES; ~~ SPRINGER FLAYS TAX LEVY

Work for All All Will End. Radical Threat, Candidate Says.

The most effective means of stopping the spread of radicalism is to “give the common man an economic opportunity, the chance to earn a living and to own a home,” Lieut. Gov. M. Clifford Townsend, Democratic nominee for Governor, said in local meetings last night. ' Mr. Townsend spoke at Laurel-st and Hoyt-av, 22d-st and Martindaleav and in Carr's Hall in Irvington. The nominee said: Communism, but I think it was wrong for the Terre Haute police chief to arrest Earl Browder, the Communist candidate for President, and thereby deny the right of free speech.” ~ The Lieutenant-Governor said he would veto any sales tax proposals if he were Governor and an unfriendly General Assembly attempted to enact sales tax legislation. “The state administration has lifted taxes off property and through the gross income tax placed it on those in the higher brackets,” . he said. “We had to write either a gross income tax or a sales tax to keep the schools open. My opponent

wants to repeal the gross income tax.”

Charges New Deal

Moves Nation to Left

Charging that the New Deal is moving the country to politically, Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormick Simms addressed Indiana Women Republicans in the Claypool Hotel yesterday afternoon.

The speaker assailed Felix Frankfurter, Raymond Moley and Rexford Tugwell as radicals and attacked the NRA and AAA. “We American citizens signed away our independence under NRA to Mr. Tugwell,” Mrs. Simms said. “We were charmed by those fireside chats. Under the NRA and AAA, the legislative and executive branches of the government had gone haywire, so the Supreme Court stepped in and saved us.”

Wallace to Speak at Lafayette Oct. 26

Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace is to speak at Lafayette, Oct. 26, at a rally sponsored by the All-Party Roosevelt Agricultural Committee. Floyd J. Hemmer, com-

McNutt Claim of of Economy Attacked by G. 0. P. ‘Candidate.

Times Special

WASHINGTON, Ind., Oct. 10.—Failure of the state administration to reduce the 15cent state property tax was attacked here last night by Raymond S. Springer, Republican nominee for Gover-

nor.

“Gov. McNutt never has cut the 15-cent levy on property, and while preaching economy but {failing to practice it, has inaugurated state extravagance offsetting local economies,” Mr. Springer said. Referring to the Democratic organization, Mr. Springer said, “we have tyranny by a ruthless political machine fired by the insatiable ambition of an oratorical spoilsman who has set up a Hoosier counter part of Tammany Hall in its worst days. “The Democratic Party in Indiana has been submerged in the in-

terest of the rough-riding group of

political privateers. The veteran leaders of the party regard the McMcNutt machine as a menace. “Even the Roosevelt Administration, which is no amateur in roughriding machine tactics, has no love for McNutt. At every turn the McNutt administration in Indiana has been repulsed by the national Administration. That is because the New Deal wishes to have none of it.”

Party Aim Opportunity for All, Says VanNuys

The Democratic Party stands for “democracy of opportunity for all the people,” Senator Frederick VanNuys told the State Colored Employes Roosevelt-Townsend Club last night in the Walker Casino. “We hold this truth to be selfevident—that government in a modern civilization has certain ipescapable obligations to its citizens, among which is the establishment of a democracy of opportunity,” Senator VanNuys said.

VanNuys Defends Party Platform

Senator Frederick VanNuys defended the national Democratic platform as “true Jeffersonian democracy” in a speech before the State Colored Employes RooseveltTownsend Club in the Walker Casino last night. He referred to a declaration in the platform which reads: “We hold this truth to be self-evident—that government has certain inescapable obligations to. its citizens, among which is the establishment of a democracy of opportunity for all the people.”

Resolution Supporting Him Expected Before Mayors; Kern Is Speaker.

By United Press SOUTH BEND, Ind, Oct. 10.— Proposal of a formal resolution supporting Clare W. H. Bangs, jailed utility-baiting mayor of Huntington, was expected today at the annual convention of the Municipal League of Indiana. From his’ jail cell, the militant mayor yesterday sent a plea for the league to “transcend all politics and throw support to candidates who fearlessly champion the restoration to cities and towns of the right of local government to own and operate their own utilities.” The convention will conclude today with election of officers. Mayor Clell E. Fireston, Goshen, is the leading candidate for president, and Mayor William Teal, Lafayette, is unopposed for vice president. Possibility of reduced city government costs through elimination ‘of over-lapping functions of city, county and townships in the same geographical units, was explained yesterday by Mayor Kern, Indianapolis. He urged more discretionary power be given city officials in manipulation of funds. City Attorney Louis L. Roberts, Evansville, urged a “thorough and exhaustive study of Indiana’s body of statutory law to meet the changing needs of communities.” A plea for home rule by cities and towns was given in a dinner address last night by David A. Ross, of Lafayette.

Faced with loss of a PWA loan and grant for a new Marion County | Detention Home unless a site is selected in 10 days, County Attorney | John Linder today wired PWA officials in Washington asking for additional time to make a selection.

sion of time as choice of a prop- |

erty for the new home became involved. Deciding the asked price of $18,000 was too high, County Commissioners have abandoned plans to build the home on E.
