SAM D. JACKSON ANNOUNCES FOR
VANNUYS' SEAT
State Administration Drive |
On Senior Senator Goes Into High.
(Continued from Page One)
Supreme Court reorganization plan, has announced he will campaign for re-election. The Jackson announcement was Seen as definitely drawing the battle lines for the 1938 race and removing the possibility of peace between the state organization and the senior Senator. Some Democrats also saw it as the second move in two days that nar rowed the list of rumored possibilities for Paul V. McNutt, Philippines High Commissioner, as a stepping stone between his present job and his expected campaign for the 1940 Democratic Presidential nomination. Former Governor McNutt has been talked as a possible senatorial candidate against Senator VanNuys. Val Nolan, Indiana University trustee, said in Washington that Mr. McNutt is not being considered as a “candidate” for the I. U. presidency, another post frequently mentioned for the former Governor.
Candidacy Announcement
Mr. Jackson's announcement statement follows: “In the person of the President of the United States is at present our highest hope that democracy as a form of government can be made to succeed in America and endure in the world. Therefore, I am for Franklin D. Roosevelt. “The present and last previous Indiana State Administration, and the Democratic state organization have given him their complete support, and I wholeheartedly indorse them and their acknowledged spokesman, Goyernor M. Clifford Townsend. “The nominee of the Democratic Party to head the ticket in the 1938 campaign should be one whose very selection will be an unmistakable ratification of, and a clear declaration of allegiance to, our existing leadership. “To this end I submit my name to the Democracy of Indiana for its consideration at the 1938 state convention of the Democratic Party as the nominee for United States Senator.” Jackson's most recent political activity was permanent chairman of the 1936 state convention which nominated Mr. Townsend for Governor—over the opposition of Mr. VanNuys. In 1934 he was head of the state organization's speakers bureau, which campaigned for Sherman Minton—who also was opposed by Mr. VanNuys.
In 1928, Mr. Jackson was an un- |
successful candidate for Congress in the Fourth District, being defeated in the Republican landslide. He served two terms as Allen County Prosecutor from 1922 to 1926. Native of Allen County
Mr. Jackson is a native of Allen County, a graduate of Indiana Law School at Indianapolis in 1917. He enlisted in the Army and came out of the World War as a captain. He is a member of the American Legion and a former member of the Board of Governors of the Indiana Bar Association. He is married and the father of three sons, is a 33d degree Mason and a member of the Presbyterian Church.
Mr. Jackson's chief opposition in |
the Democratic Party other than Senator VanNuys comes from his fellow townsman, R. Earl Peters, present Federal Housing Administrator for Indiana and former state chairman, who reportedly wanted the senatorial nomination himself. Mr. Peters is close to Postmaster General Farley and is at outs with the state organization. Mr. Farley is reported to be keeping hands off.

By LEO DAUGHERTY Former U. S. Senator James E, Watson owes a bit of an explanation today to 75 members of the Business and Professional Women's Club.
The reason is that last night he “stood them up”—plus yours truly. Back home from Washington, the Hoosier politician was scheduled for an address at the club at 1101 N. Delaware St. after the ladies had cleared away the tables following a 6:15 p. m. dinner and a little business meeting. So at 7:50 I thought it safe to venture inside, expecting him to be right on the dot 10 minutes later. The ladies had been waiting for some time. So when a couple of members of the reception committee answered the door bell, the ladies inside gazed toward the darkened entrance and said: “That must be him now.” Imagine being mistaken for an ex-U, S. Senator even before you ever have been mistaken for a pres{ent U. S. Senator. | Anyhow, I moved right in, was in- | troduced to some charming women | and joined the waiting and the exchanging of: “Well, he ought to be here any minute now.”
A hope for a “business comeback in the spring,” and doubt that President Roosevelt's suggestion for stabilization of production through industrial con-

is shown at the
right at the start and the time went quickly. Then things got dull. Committee members called the Columbia Club and Woman's Department Club, thinking Mr. Watson had been mixed up about where he was supposed to orate. I looked over the crowd and silently admired the evening gowns and those paper hats, like those you
I thought maybe the ladies were getting tired of being stared at, so I concentrated on the golden draperies. They're really beautiful, every stitch—and I know every stitch of them. About that time the president said they'd keep on waiting, but go on with the rest of the program. A young lady sang three beautiful soprano solos. The best one was “Because” — a bit appropriate because Jim Watson up to then was getting very late. An evening-gowned woman decided to contribute to the program and started off with that old “Did you ever hear the one about?” It was a pretty good little story, too. Very appropriate. About a prospective bridegroom and his not showing up either.

may be too late for economic action . . “Leaving only a resort to force of arms?” “Yes. And then what will they do? I don’t know. Surrender, probably.”
Claims F, D. R.’s Support
He said President Roosevelt was in agreement with him on this need for economic action, but the people “did not seem to be aware of what is going on or to be interested.”
He was asked about his refusal to attend Nazi conclaves — devoted largely to attacks on democracy. “There are some things,” he said, “which a man just cannot do. After all, there was no reason why a representative of a democracy should do such a thing. And the representatives of all the other democracies agreed with me, every one. But they were scared into it.” Mr. Dodd, who resigned two weeks ago after more than four years’ service, said he would submit his final report to the State Department in Washington Monday. Then, as a former University of Chicago history professor, he will make a lecture tour of the country. Mr. Dodd declared a new order of government had spread “from Rome to Tokyo,” and freedom had ceased to exist. Nearly all the nations of the world, he said, had violated the treaties of 1919-1923. He said he doubted if any American envoy who held his ideals ‘of democracy could represent the United States successfully in Germany today. He said “I did the best I could.”
LIFE TERM PRICE OF FEW HOURS’ FREEDOM
MISHAWAKA, Jan. 7 (U. P).— Fred Bailer, 38, was headed back to the Michigan City State Prison today where he faces a life term instead of freedom which might have been his next September.
Fleeing from the prison honor farm, Bailer attempted to walk over a railroad bridge near Osceola last night. He lost his footing and piunged 15 feet into a creek below. Passerby discovered him in an injured condition and brought him to a Mishawaka hospital. His prison garb betrayed him and officials communicated with the State Prison. He was identified as the missing convict. Bailer, a Ft. Wayne resident, was sentenced to a life term for criminal assault. The State Clemency Commission commuted this from life to 12 years which would have made him eligible for parole in September. Prison officials said Bailer's few hours of freedom will restore his life term.

tion to defer action, without the consent of its opponents.” “The members of Congress are directly elected by the people, and subject to removal every two and six years,” said Rep. O'Connor. “It is beyond imaginable possibility that they could ever be so unacquainted with the attitude or the wishes of their constituents as to declare war against the will of the people.” Rep. Knutson followed Rep. O'Connor with a denunciation of the opposition.
Borah Leads Attack On Antilynching Bill
(Editorial, Page 22) WASHINGTON, Jan. 7 (U. P.).—
| Senator Borah (R. Ida.) in a dra-
matic plea for defeat of the Antilynching Bill, today warned the Senate that state sovereignty was democracy’s bulwark against encroachment of dictatorial rule. The bill is sponsored by Senators Wagner (D. N. Y) and VanNuys (D. Ind). Condemning the measure as an unwise and unconstitutional effort to “sit in judgment” on Southern states, the veteran constitutional expert said that the bill would do only harm. He referred to recent utterances of Premier Mussolini of Italy in regard to the “bellowing herds of democracy” and the confusion existing in democratic states. “But Mr. President, there is no confusion about the precepts of democracy except when we depart from principle.
Calls Bill Compromise
“The people of the South — its generals, its statesmen, its soil and sunshine—are a part of our country. I shall cast no vote in this Chamber that reflects upon their ability and sincerity. When we condemn state sovereignty in the South we have no ground on which to maintain self-government in the
North. This bill is another compromise with a vital principle of our dual system of government. “It is another instance in which we are not strong enough in faith in our Government to say that however serious your problem you must work it out according to the longaccepted practice of democratic government.” A dozen Southern Senators crowded around Senator Borah to shake his hand as he concluded his speech on the second day of a filibuster against the antilynching bill. Senator Reynolds (D. N. C.) who spoke most of yesterday afternoon on the beauties of his home state, and the economic and political conditions in other nations, will continue debate today, according to Senator Connally, “He has quite a few more countries to talk about,” Senator Connally said. “He wants to make some remarks about Peru and Turkey among others.” Majority Leader Barkley (D. Kv.) showed the first signs of irritation when he warned members to stick close to business or face long day and probably night sessions.
‘Pork Barrel’ Cuts
Face Opposition
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7 (U. P.).— Congress offered sporadic resistance today to President Roosevelt's budget message proposal for “pork barrel” economies, but Administration leaders predicted success in winning approval of reductions totaling $539,000,000. Sharpest controversy in both House and Senate centered around the $200,000,000 that Mr. Roosevelt requested be cut from highways, reclamation and irrigation, rivers and harbors, flood control, and public buildings—appropriation items highly cherished by Congress.
NLRB Faces Further Attacks in House
Times Special WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.—The National Labor Relations Board has cleared its first hurdle in the new session of Congress, but faces further attacks in the next few days. The House today has before it a $2,995,000 appropriation for the Board's operation in the fiscal year 1938-39. This is $385,000 more than the Board's current budget and only $80,000 under the Budget Bureau recommendation.

HAGUE ANDC..O. TRADE EPITHETS
Battle Lines Are Drawn for Continuation of Long Struggle.
JERSEY CITY, N. J.,, Jan. T (U. P.).—Battle lines for continuation
were drawn clearly today, each having accused the other of being a “menace to the nation” and having pledged themselves to a ‘finish fight.” Climaxing a long fight, Mayor Hague spoke last night at a rally sponsored by the Jersey City Chamber of Commerce. He said the C. I. O. represented the “forces of intimidation,” said that its leaders were Communists who have “marked Jersey City for destruction” and declared that he would continue to prohibit the organization existing here, At the conclusion of his speech, Morris Ernst and Dean Spaulding Frazer, of the Newark Law School, both acting as special counsel for the C. I. O, spoke over the same radio hookup in rebuttal. Addressing Mayor Hague directly, Mr. Ernst said: “You are a danger to the American nation because you are the basic radical of our day, radical in the sense that you are going back on the founding fathers and our bill of rights. The fight is on. We are not going to stop until that town is open to the traditions and the folklore of the American people.”

I use ta think the picture actors were a pretty soft lot, but I want ’ta tell you, I never saw s0 many athletes in my life. Among ‘em you find the best from every line of sport. I don’t believe sporting blood is admired anywhere in the world more than it is out here. One day Grandpa Snazzy was crossin’ Hollywood Boulevard and one of them picture actors run over him with his car. Grandpa got up and told the fella that he wasn’t hurt a bit and the fella says “well, now, you certainly are nice about it—it's a real pleasure to knock down a thorough sportsman like you.”
