GORDON BIDS FOR TOWNSEND'S AID IN SENATE RACE

Labor Leader Invades Home| District of Rival in Fight | For VanNuys' Seat.

FT. WAYNE, Jan. 27 (U. P)— Alex Gordon, Indianapolis, railroad labor leader and candidate for the Democratic nomination for U. 8S. Senator, bid for <Governor Townsend's support today. Invading home territory of his rival, Samuel Jackson, Ft. Wayne, who also has announced his candidacy for the post held by Senator VanNuys, Mr. Gordon declared | labor was “100 per cent back of the | Governor who, in turn, is in sym- | pathy with labor.” In an interview, Mr. Gordon declined to state whether he had the Governor's support, but added: “In my uwavels throughout the state. many party leaders and workers have volunteered their services.”

Urges Labor Unity

Politicians have speculated whether the State House organization would support Mr. Gordon or Mr. Jackson—or both—for the nomination. Addressing an organization meeting of Labor's Nonpartisan League here last night, Mr. Gordon urged “unity of labor at the ballot boxes.” “Get your committees in action,” he said. “Use your influence with the party powers. Get your men nominated. Investigate all the candidates and select those friendly toward labor. “President Roosevelt is one of the best friends labor has had. Governor Townsend also desires labor's | support.” Speaking of the business recession, Mr. Gordon said: “Inrustry hasbeenon a sit-down strike. but we are coming out of the recession now.

Co-operation Essential

“The President has every right to expect co-operation from business. Business, in turn, has every right to expect Governmental co-operation. Labor and industry also should pull together. When the wages and hours bill passes Congress, we will have gone along way to end this recession.” He traced the history of labor and labor legislation since 1890. He outlined legislation against * cut-throat” competition, and for better working condtions. In 1920. labor went to sleep at the ballot boxes, he said, and reactionaries were elected to office.” | “A third party was organized, but that blew up,” he declared. “Labor went backward until 1932, when we had a revolt at the ballot boxes.”

RETIREMENT PLAN INTEREST SUSTAINED

| Public interest in personal ast] corporation retirement or annuity | plans has not been lessened by the | Federal Social Security Act, William | T. Earls, Cincinnati Chartered Life Underwriters vice president, today had told the Indianapolis Life Underwriters Association. “It was thought the act would | lessen public interest in various type as personal and corporation | retirement or annuity plans, but the reverse is true,” Mr. Earls said at a meeting yesterday. “The public is more than ever conscious of the need for a retirement income plan.”

TALKS ON STREET PLANS

Important street improvements in recent years and plans for future development of thoroughfares in the city are prominent factors in retathing and increasing property values, val B. MclLeay, City Plan Commission secretary, told members of the Apartment Owners’ Association yesterday at the Hotel Washington.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES Lions Scout Troop Gets Commissions

STATE CONTROLS MAIN HIGHWAYS THROUGH CITIES

Traffic Signals on Principal Routes to Be Operated By Commission.

The State Highway Commission is providing for maintenance and operation of traffic signals on Indiana ighway routes through cities, Chairman Barl Crawford reported today. Meanwhile, it was announced some sections of the State highway system had been closed temporarily to vehicles with a gross weight of over three tons on account of the weather.

State Takes Control

On Jan. 1, the Commission took over control of streets over which State highways are routed in ail cities but Indianapolis. Agreements are being made with city officials and utilities for State control of stop-and-go signals and other traffic regulations on these streets. The Commission also will keep these streets cleaned, it was announced. Sanding of intersections and snow removal already have been started by the State maintenance force.

Heavy Traffic Restricted

Mr. Crawford said alternate freezes and thaws required the closing of heavy traffic of some secondary roads. The order will not affect automobiles. From experience of past winters, Mr. Crawford said, the Commission had found these temporary closing orders protected highway surfaces.
