Industrial Pension Systems Endangered, G. 0. P. Candidate Says at Rally.

BY LEO DAUGHERTY Times Staff Writer

LOGANSPORT, Oct. 29.—Rival Cass County political leaders today made conilicting claims for the vote in that county and the Second District after the visit here of Judge Raymond S. Springer, Republican candidate for Governor. Leland Smith, G. O. P. chairman, insisted Judge Springer would win this county in which four years ago he ran approximately 3300 behind Gov. McNutt. Congressman Opie Halleck seeking re-election, "predicted Judge Springer would carry the district by 20,000 votes. On the other hand, Homer Stonbraker, Democratic chairman, declared M. Clifford Townsend would roll up a majority of 1000 in the county and President Roosevelt at least 1600. Judge Springer, in his speech at the Berry Bowl rally last night, opened an attack on the social security legislation enacted by the McNutt and Federal Administrations. Pemsions Endangered, Charge

He asserted the pension systems established by 750 of the largest business organizations protecting more than 3,000,000 persons, will be dismantled because of the New eDal social security acts which become effective Jan. 1. He presented figures tending to prove the financial benefits accruing _ to workers under the Federal setup will b> much less than received from private industries. “Studies by industrial insurance companies show the average worker 35 years old will get a Federal pension of $39.50 per month when he is 65,” Judge Springer declared. “Under an average private pension plan a worker of the same age receives $60.25.” Declares Law “Forced. Through”

The candidate said Gov. McNutt called the special session of the legislature and “forced. through” a law on social security while many groups of taxpayers were urging consideration ‘of “other pressing measures such as repeal of ‘the gross income tax law.” “But the Governor and Legislature prevented any action on that law, although they now say they are in favor of amending it,” Judge Springer continued. “In his desire to please the powers that be at Washington, Gov. McNutt seemed more anxious to make a record for speedy action, rather than careful, deliberate consideration of a bill that is to effect the welfare of so large a number of citizens.” Judge Springer also attacked statements of Democratic leaders as to the property tax reduction under the present state administration. He gave credit for any recent economies affecting taxpayers to legislation enacted during the, regime of Gov. Leslie. The Connersville candidate then tore into the McNutt administration for disseminating what he turned to be “misleading and untruthful propaganda.” “I appeal to voters to help me drive from Indiana the slimy hand of political deceit and the black hand of political assassination . . . assassination ~ of every political right you and I have been taught to regard as priceless and as untouchable by those whom we have elected to high office,” he said. Halleck Blasts New Deal Congressman Halleck blasted the New Deal for exhorbitant expenditures. Two state candidates who attended

the rally were Orin W. Dickey, Mar- |

jon, candidate for Supreme Court judge, and Alfred Evans, Bloomington, candidate for the Appellate bench. The rally followed another torchlight parade with floats ridiculing New Deal measures. Judge Springer left here for Indianapolis and is scheduled for talks today in Clinton and Terre Haute.

District Safely Democratic, Party Political Experts Tell Nominee.

BY TRISTRAM COFFIN Times Staff Writer

MUNCIE, Ind, Oct. 29.—Congressman Finly Gray, who has been shaking hands and talking politics in every township of the Tenth District for the last two months,

said today that never before had he seen the district in better shape for the Democrats. The Tenth District, home of former Senator James A. Watson and Raymond S. Springer, Republican

» | nominee for Governor, returned a

majority of 2581 for President Roosevelt in the 1932 landslide, but Senator Sherman Minton lost it by 2715 in 1934. Anderson Ketchum, district Democratic chairman, believes the district will return to the Democratic column.because of the factory workers in Muncie, Newcastle, Connersville and Richmond.

Muncie Upturn Cited

In Muncie, the industries are employing new labor, houses are at a premium and the voters’ registration is increased 30 per cent over 1934. Lieut. Gov. M. Clifford Townsend,

Democratic nominee for Governor, was the principal speaker at a rally last night in the WPA-built Muncie city garage. Four thousand working class peoplé attended. The meeting was preceded by a torchlight parade of 4007 cars, by police count. The speech, which -was broadcast, was halted momentarily as the crowd cheered a man in working clothes who paraded down the aisle with a placard stating “From Soup to Sunflowers.” The Democrats put on a good show with a 700-car parade and an afternoon rally yesterday in Rushville, generally considered a rockribbed Republican community. Various floats contrasting the price of corn in 1932 and 1936 drove past Mr. Watson's former home.

Historic Flag Displayed

One float displayed withered sunflowers and a goat was penned in a truck which carried a banner, “We've .got Springer’s goat.” The chigf feature of the parade was a large American flag, which was purchased in 1884 to celebrate a Democratic victory in Richland Township, Rushville. Congressman Gray spoke briefly at the Muncie meeting. The lanky monetary expert is conducting a cne-man campaign by dropping in on friends and inviting them to his meetings. A story is told that often he will go to a telephone - exchange and have the operator inform all the neighbors he is to speak in the vicinity. The district organization rarely knows his speaking engagements. He is known in Congress for his speeches on currency control and is indorsed by both the National Union for Social Justice and the Townsend Old-Age Pension organization. This year he is making his campaign in the rural districts on rural electrification. Along the march of the Rushville parade an elderly woman, a black shawl tied around her head, waved an American flag as Mr. Townsend rode by in an open car. Townsend Flays Security Attack One motorist had a placard stating, “This is the car Hoover promised me and Roosevelt gave me. Please don't take it away.” line and a sign, “Lest We Forget,” was portrayed in another float. Mr. Townsend at both meeting condemned “employers who misrepresented the social security act to their workers by inserting messages in pay envelopes.” Today, the Democratic nominee begins a tour of the southern part of the state with addresses scheduled in Vincennes, Rockport, Evansville, Brookville, Lawrenceburg, Columbus and Bloomington.

briefly and then motored to Young’s Cemetery, where he placed a wreath on the late President’s grave. Mrs. Roosevelt recently indorsed the candidacy of Govarnor Landon. The Governor said he ‘did not discuss politics with Mrs. Roosevelt. “It was just an old-fashioned visit,” he told newspaper men. “We idn’t talk about anything in pariculat.” . The journey to Oyster Bay preceded a series of conferences in which Gov. Landon met Republican leaders of Brooklyn as a prelude to his summation of the main issues of the campaign in his final’ eastern speech tonight (8:309:00 C. S. T.) at Madison Square Garden. Concluding his New York campaign, he will turn back through West Virginia to St. Louis for a 4major speech Saturday night. On Monday evening he will deliver a' radio speech from Topeka, leaving later for Independence, Kan., his home town, to vote Tuesday morning. He will return that afternoon to receive the election returns in Topeka.

Confers With Al Smith Governor Landon prepared for his pilgrimage with the blessing of Alfred E. Smith, one-time titular leader of the Democratic Party. They met last night in the Murray Hill Hotel, where they shook hands and agreed they would stand shoulder to shoulder against the New Deal. Mr. Smith will be on the platform tonight when Governor Landon comes into Madison Square Garden to make his supreme bg for the vote of Mr. Roosevelt’s ho state. Mr. Smith may do more than that—he may introduce the Kansas Governor and ask all followers of the brown derby to throw their sup-. port to the Kansas sunflower.

in the American press, that the King is about to marry Mrs. Simpson. “The evidence that the King is contemplating a political and constitutional innovation of this magnitude is extremely slender. “It has been known for some time that Mrs. Simpson is a member of the inner circle of the King’s friends, and this, apparently, is the sole fact on which the American press has proceeded. “Nevertheless, their statements now are of the most positive kind, the matter being almost taken for granted. “The explanation is partly, at any rate, due to the curious behavior of the English press over the story (of the divorce), though usually any domestic misfortune of any person connected, however remotely, with the court is good copy. Circulate Rumors

“Secondly, certain disgruntled former palace influences, who are annoyed that the new King will not take their advice, are continuing to circulate, and allow to circulate, various ors which depict the King as unconstitutional and ‘headstrong. From these . aristocratic sources flow a continual stream of tit-bits to swell the rumors.” There.was no effort to disclose the “disgruntled influences” = which, with the American newspapers on one hand andthe British newspapers on the other, opened the way for The Week's article. King Edward has made certain changes in the official household since his accession. So far, Mrs. Simpson’s divorce, by which she sought freedom, has proved only a hindrance, it was understood.

But she has remained almoit in|.

seclusion. at her new home at 16 Cumberland Terrace while King Edward has divided his time between Buckingham Palace, where he has his cfice, and Fort Belvedere, his country place near Windsor. He motors there each evening and motors in to town in the morning. Two policemen, uniformed and not plain clothes men, patrol outside Mrs. Simpson’s home, eyeing suspiciously all who approach. Servants keep the steps freshly whitened, so that it is possible to see that no one is using the front door, and thick cream muslin draperies cover the windows. It is said in well-informed circles that King Edward is unlikely to be seen in public much with Mrs. Simpson until her divorce decree is made next April, so that he will not embarrass her by causing comment.

To be approved, employers must keep pay roll ‘records for at least four calendar years, plus: each current year. The records must contain specific information set owt by the rules so that the department can compute readily the employe’s benefits and the length of time to which he is entitled to benefits, Mr. ~ackson said.

At that time there was not sufficient sentiment for such a tax. "Advofates of the income-tax plan feel now that the anti-Roosevelt crusade has done their work for them and that the new Congress will be ready to lift the burden from the workers and put it on upperbracket taxpayers.
