“PARTY CHIEFS IN WASHINGTON PRAISE WHALE

Aggressive, Says VanNuys; Declines Comment on Gordon Action.

By DANIEL KIDNEY Times Staft Writer WASHINGTON, Jan, 25.--Selec-tion of Frank McHale as Democratic national committeeman for Indiana was greeted with universal approval today by both Senators and the 11 Democratic Congressmen from the State, Senator VanNuys was high in his praise. He read in the papers about the French Lick meeting, where Mr. McHale was chosen, and also about his being invited to speak at the Indiana Democratic Editorial Association banquet on Feb. 19, he said. The event is expected to give impetus to the 1940 Presidential boom for High Commissioner MeNutt of the Philippines, who will be the honor guest, Approves of McHale

“I heartily approve of Mr. McHale as national committeeman,” Senator VanNuys said. “He is aggressive, has a fine personality and will fill the office admirably. “As to my being a speaker at the editorial dinner, all I can say now is wait and see. For as yet I have received no official invitation and know nothing about it except what was in the newspaper account.” Senator VanNuys declined to comment on the announcement of Alex E. Gordon that he, as well as Samuel Jackson of Ft, Wayne, will seek the Democratic nomination as the senior Senator's successor, Senator Minton arrived at French Lick Saturday, after Governor Townsend, Mr, McHale and other party leaders had left, he said. ‘I Am for Frank’ “Of course IT am for Frank” he commented, “The Indiana organization is functioning 100 per cent for Paul for President.” Here is how the
