Headed Insurance Firm
Mr. Leslie was president of the: Standard Life Insurance Co. here at
the time of his death. He was elected to the office in 1934, a year after he left the Governor's office. His home was at 345 Blue Ridge Road, where three sons, John, Richard and Robert were when they received word ‘of their father’s death. He was nominated for Governor and elected on the Republican ticket in 1928, taking office Jan..1, 1929. He served through the early part of the depression when his office was besieged with delegations seeking relief measures. He was called to Washington by
former President Hoover to confer |
on methods of relief for unemployed. It was his suggestion, car-
ried out in Indiana and several}
other states,"that led to relief of farmers , through employment on highway projects. Mr. Leslie, who once was a grocery clerk in West Lafayette, started his political career as Town Clerk in West Lafayette. From there he entered county politics and became Tippecanoe County Treasurer. He first was elected to the Indiana Iegislature in 1923 from Tippecanoe and Warren Counties and was reelected to the 1925 and 1927 sessions _ when he was Speaker of the House. His popularity as a Speaker led to his nomination for Governor at the State Republican convention here in May, 1928. As a young Purdue University student at the turn of the century, Mr. Leslie won fame as a star football player, and on the university's baseball team. He was captain of both in 1902 and 1903. Mr. Leslie was one of the few survivors of the train wreck in Indianapolis in October, 1903, when 16 of his Purdue football teammates were killed, :

Truck Signal fo Stand on Its Merits, He Tells Motor Group.
Indiana truck owners today had the promise of Earl Crawford, State Highway Commission chairman and president of a company which sells directional turn signals, that he would not use his official position “to threaten or pester” them to have private business dealings with him. Delegates to the Indiana Motor Traffic Association convention to whom this statement was made also had ample opportunity today to study the device being marketed by the Auto Safety Signal Corp. formed July 8, 1936, with Mr. Crawford as president. The firm, the only Indiana corporation among the 11 whose equipment was approved by the State Safety Committee, had a display at the Hotel Antlers, association convention headquarters. - Joseph D, Eastman, Interstate Commerce, Commission member, in an address at noon today predicted

FEARS EVER-NORMAL GRANARY PLAN LOST
McNary Charges Farm Bill Would Defeat Step.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 11 (U.P) — Minority Leader Charles L. MecNary, (R. Ore.) today asserted that the mechanics of the Senate Farm Bill would destroy the “ever-nor-mal granary” objective sought by Secretary of Agriculture Wallace. Senator McNary contended that provisions of the bill intended to raise prices through a scarcity policy would result in virtual elimination of the ever-normal granary -and would make no provision for years of drought, flood or other adverse conditions. He cited a provision which would
‘eliminate © the ever-normal gran-
ary in the event that the Secretary of Agriculture believed tnat the current average farm price would exceed the goal price set by the Government in the program. Senator Pope (D. Ida.), coauthor of the Farm Bill, agreed that “we should recognize the validity of Senator McNary’s’ arguments.” Senator Pope contended, however, that the Agriculture Committee, whose amendment Senator McNary opposed, had felt that the objective (Turn to Page Three)

FORD VIEWPOINT VEILED
Government Gives Evidence To Grand Jury in Milwaukee.
By HERBERT LITTLE _ Times Special Writer Eg DETROIT, Dec. 11.—The automobile’s’ industry “big three” and the Federal Government are squaring
squebble over the financing of auto sales. Hi Sensational developments are expected soon as a result of the refusal of General Motors and Chrysler to sign a consent decree under ‘which their control over their produc’ would cease virtually at the factory gate. Ford's position is not known definitely. The Government had been submitting antitrust evidence to a Federa] Grand Jury in Milwaukee, obviously aiming at criminal indictments, The case is understood to involve the biggest men and corporations of mi om, as well as the auto finance companies: they own and control.
Jackson Appears for U. S.
Robert H. Jackson, the New Deéal’s antitrust law ace, is handling the case for the Government. : Mr. Jackson’s proposal: for a consen} decree to stop litigation, it is learned, would have put the big thrze on the dotted line on two major points: (1) Agreeing to stop, the alleged coercion of dealers into pursuing certain practices which the the manufacturers consider necessary for the orderly marketing of cars, and (2) abandoning at once all ownership and coptrol. of finance companies by the motormakers.

Independent finance companizs arid the Justice Department charge that the “repossession reserve” amounts to a rebate, in restraint of commerce, and is a violation of the antitrust laws.
