Jacobs Declares Facts Support Charges of Wide Open Gambling Here; Workers’ League Sends
Questionnaires
Only a few contests for Maton and Democratic State conventions delegate candidates to file. " Officials of the Marion County Clerk’s office said no petitions would be accepted after 5 p. m. today. Party leaders reported that throughout the state more than 75 per cent of the candidates for Democratic delegates and nearly as large a percentage of Republicans are unopposed.
Questionnaires Mailed
_ Other political developments were: 1. Questionnaires seeking views of
, local candidates on labor were + mailed by the Workers Non-Par-
tisan Political Action League, Inc. of Marion County, the A. F. of L. group. 2. John W. Esterline, businessman and civic leader, advocated a Home Rule Amendment to permit simplifying of city and county govern-
- ment, in an address before the Irv-
Sion Republican Club. 3. Andrew Jacobs (D.), Prosecutors candidate, asserted in a campaign talk last night that “charges of wide open gambling in Indianapolis can be supported by facts.” His statement followed a reply of Governor Townsend to the request of the Indianapolis Methodist Min-
isterial Association for an investi-
gation of gambling here. 4. If was announced that the Indiana Socialist Party convention will be held May 8 at Room 308, Holliday Building. 5. Edwin Haerle (R), candidate for Prosecutor, advocated prompt trials for traffic violators and abolition of sticker fixing, in a meeting at his headquarters, 46 N. Pennsylvania St., yesterday. 6. “Machine Rule in Politics” will be discussed by Sheriff Ray (DJ),
- mayorality candidate, at an East
Side Democratic rally at Irvington Masonic Temple tonight. Other speakers are to include Mrs. Nellie M. Walker, candidate for Warren Township Trustee; Chalmer Schlosser, candidate for judge of Superior Court 3; L. William Curry, candidate for judge of Superior Court 5,
"and Mr. Jacobs.
Court Program Indorsed
7. Directors of the Irvington Quest Club, Fayette Club, Indian-
. apolis Alumnae Association of Kap-
J
pa Alpha Theta Sorority, and Par-ent-Teacher Associations of Schools 20 and 63 have pledged support of the Juvenile Court Committee's program, *it was announced today. The committee is sponsoring two candidates for Juvenile Court judge. They are William H. Remy, RepubHeat, and Wilfred Bradshaw, Dem-

is Political Action League mailed separate questionnaires to candidates for county and township, municipal and legislative offices. Candidates for municipal offices are asked what their pelicy will be
_in regard to employment of firemen
and policemen on work regularly done by the building trades. : Among the subjects on - which. legislative candidates are quizzed are the Unemployment Compensation Law, the Workmen’s Compensation Law, State-operated industrial insurance for workmen's compensation, minimum number of employes on railroad trains, a State labor disputes law similar to the Wagner-Connery Act, State-wide primary for all elective offices, retail sales tax, Gross Income Tax
Law, State wage and hours legisla-
tion, and labor’s recommendation on _amendments of social and labor laws. Sees New Deal Failure
Mr. Esterline said “failure of the
New Deal” is due not so much to improper objectives, “but for the reason a quickly organized, ® inexperienced group of individuals undertook to do 50 years’ work in five.”
to Candidates.
County delegates to the Republican were seen today, the last day for
economic miracles comes to be written, due credit will be given for the high and laudable objectives which impelled those who conducted this experiment, because these objectives are worthy. Likewise, we shall record that by and large these men and women who tried to remake the universe in so short a span were sincere.” He asserted the City Manager plan is a step toward better government but that it should not be sponsored by partisan political organizations. In commencing on the gambling situation, Mr. Jacobs said: “I can furnish to the Governor facts concerning gambling if he desires this information. It is such common knowledge that the Indianapolis . Police Department has made no good-faith effort to enforce gambling laws in the city that I can hardly conceive of the Governor being ignorant of these facts. “I would like to call attention to the recent arrest of two obscure colored boys for‘Tunning a ‘numbers racket.’ It is a notorious fact that one of the largest numbers rackets in the country is operated on Indiana Ave.” Mrs. Myrtle Buehl (D.), for Center Township Trustee, also spoke at the meeting, promising that, if elected, politics would play no part in her decisions as to relief needs. Mr. Haerle deplored the high death and accident rate in Indianapolis. “Instead of spasmodic enforcement of the traffic laws,” he said, “the Prosecutor should consistently aid the police in bringing all traffic offenders to justice without regard to their wealth or position. The hit-and-miss enforcement palicy now followed by the present officials is deplorable.”
VanNuys Wins Backing
A movement to re-elect Senator VanNuys as an independent with Republican votes has been started by Lynn W. Whipple, editor of the Valparaiso Vidette-Messenger. In an open letter to Rep. Charles A. Halleck, Second District, only Indiana Republican in Congress, Mr. Whipple asked the Congressman to indorse the movement.
Citing Mr. Halleck to political history, the letter asks: “Does not this clearly indicate that Lincoln would warn the Republicans of Indiana that the real foe is the New Deal-Democratic combination that has ordered the defeat of Senator VanNuys? . . . Does this not clearly indicate that Lincoln would advise Indiana Republicans that the only safe and reasonable thing to do is to refuse to play into the hands of the oppositionr by nominating a candidate for the U. S. Senate seat now held by Senator VanNuys?
“For, if anything political in Indiana is crystal clear it is this: The Republican Party has no chance, divided as it is, to elect a senatorial nominee in 1938. All that it could do would be to set up a straw man who could probably take enough votes from Senator VanNuys to elect the New Deal Democratic nominee.
“This writer is convinced that any of those now aspiring to the Republican nomination for U. S. Senator big enough to deserve that nomination are also big enough to be willing to step aside when once the situation and danger is made clear to them. . .. “Bold . action by you in Indiana at this time will do more than merely redeem Indiana Republicanism and bring to its standard thousands and thousands of earnest men and women now confused by the lack of positive leadership against New Dealism—it will point the way to victory for the Republic-

women and song, I place first song. That is to say, my work. So theoretically I agree with the Communists. But women and wine—it is the furniture of the house. To
live with only work is like to live in a nakea house.” His personal life was equally glamorous. In his first autobiography, “Pages From My Life,” he wrote of what a critic called “rather Casanovian love affairs.” Lovesick women and girls in every city beleaguered him. His first and unhappy love left its mark on his life. In 1898 he married Guilla Tarnaghi, an Italian ballerina who bore him eight children. A Catholic, she refused to divorce him, although he openly declared his new love for Marie
‘Petzold, with whom he lived for 16
years. He finally obtained a Soviet divorce and married Mme. Petzold.
Gorki Was His Friend
' Chaliapin was born in Kazan, the Tartar capiiai, on Feb. 15, 1873. He sang the rich folk songs of his native land as a boy playing in the fields with his closest chum— Maxim Gorki, Russia's greatest modern writer, with whom he broke later when he left the Soviet. Despite the bitterness and poverty of his childhood, Chaliapin sang everywhere. He was finally fired as a cobbler’s apprentice, when he was making 5 cents per 18-hour day, because he sang too much. When .he was 17 he joined a troupe of wandering players, and sang in Baku. There Ussatov, the only instructor he ever had, heard him and took him to Petrograd. His rise was rapid. He became a sensation at Milan, visited the United States, toured South America, and was recognized as Russia’s outstanding singer. : Like Maxim Gorki, he was illreceived by America at first. But unlike Gorki, he returned, hailed as an operatic genius. As Don Basilio in the “The Barber of Seville,” as Mephistopheles in “Faust” and in “Don Quichotte” and “Boris Godounov,” he carved for himself a lasting niche in the operatic hall of fame. “I would sing in a ditch if engaged to do so,” he once said.
Remembered for Opera Appearance Here
Chaliapin, acknowledged one of the greatest singing actors in operatic history, will be remembered for Indianapolis appearances both in concert and opera. He presented his own company in “The Barber of Seville” at the Murat during the Ona B. Talbott concert series. The following year he returned here in recital. His tour this season, which included a scheduled recital in Bloomington, was cancelled at his physician’s order.

OARNER SPLITS WITH F. D.R. ON
RELIEF BUDGET }
President May Seek More ‘Than Four Billion to Fight Slump.
(Continued from Page One)
all, however, would like to see funds earmarked for a PWA, as well as WPA, program, “I am against any so-called governmental: pump-priming to stimulate business,” Rep. Halleck said. “If there is anything that has been proven fallacious during the last six years it is the New Deal theory that we can spend ourselves into prosperity. A balanced budget will do more for business, although I appreciate that to mention a balanced budget in certain political groups is to be charged with wanting to starve people. “Of. course I will vote for whatever is necessary for genuine relief purposes, but even there I think the money should be turned over to the states and that they ought also to contribute. That was what the late Senator Robinson, Democratic floor leader, fought for, and I still believe he was right. “With the Federal Government handling the money it is undoubtedly making for a higher overhead, particularly where they put on additional supervisors and other highpaid officials around election time. “About the best thing President Roosevelt can do right now is to return to his 1932 platform and begin to carry it out.”
Favors Loan Restriction
Rep. Louis Ludlow declared he is for whatever the experts feel is really needed for relief, but certainly would want to give a great deal of thought to any further pumppriming outlays. “I do not think there should be any 50-year, interest free loans made to states, cities and other local governmental units as has been reported,” Rep. Eugene B. Crowe asserted. “Phat period is entirely too long and the community would still be paying for buildings after they had been torn down. The period should not be greater than 20 or 30 years, and payments should be made with at least a nominal amount of interest charged. “I am for the PWA idea, however.” Rep. Arthur H. Greenwood said he believed local projects should be “financed with Federal loans and not be merely gifts.” Pump-priming is just so much bunk for Rep. Finly H. Gray, who flatly declared: “I don’t believe in it. I want to get the Government out of the red and restore private industry.” “Backs Needed Relief
This objective could be obtained by adopting his monetary policies of currency expansion through printing greenbacks based on the sterilized gold and silver, Rep. Gray explained. RFC and PWA were termed a “far better approach to recovery” than the WPA expenditures by Rep. James I. Farley. He will support relief while needed, however, he declared. “I am for the local loan PWA plan, but think that at least 1 per cent interest should be charged in order to finance the transaction costs,” Rep. Farley said. “Let Congress lay down more spe-
cific rules for all of these unusual
expenditures. I am against using these funds for social experiments which result largely in supporting a large staff of experts.” Reps. Jenckes, Schulte and Larrabee asserted they will support the Administration program 100 -per cent.
Adjournment Plans Peril
Legislation for Carriers
WASHINGTON, April 12 (U. P). —Plans for an early adjournment of Congress today jeopardized the chances of immediate legislation to aid the railroad industry. Chairman Burton K. Wheeler (D. Mont.) of the Senate Interstate Commerce Committee, believed a substantial part of the summer would be required to enact the reform measures suggested by a special Interstate Commerce Commission Committee, headed by Commissioner Walter M. W. Splawn. Majority Leader Barkley (D. Ky.) was noncommittal on what proportion of the railroad program, if any, could be passed at this session. He has expressed hope, however, hat Congress would adjourn by May 15. President Roosevelt left the problem of revitalizing the railroads and of solving their financial troubles up to Congress in his special message yesterday.
House Group to | Report Wage-Hour Bill
WASHINGTON, April 12 (U, P.. ~The House Labor Committee today decided to report some form of Wage-Hour Bill to the House despite indications there is little hope for passage of such’ legislation. Chairman Mary Norton (D. N. J.) said the Committee was “in agreement” on pressing for enactment of a bill. The Committee today received a new “escalator” labor standards measure drafted by a subcommittee. Coincidentally, President William Green of the Amer-
ican Federation of Labor condemned f
the measure as “dictatorial.” Mrs. Norton said the Committee would meet tomorrow to discuss the new bill.

A report on the value of tax delinquent property disposed of at the annual sale yesterday is to be made tomorrow or Thursday, County Treasurer Frank E. McKinney said today. The usual auction was not held this year because an injunction issued by Superior Judge Joseph T. Markey prevented sale for less than the delinquent taxes
About 20 persons crowed around a table at the Court House during the sale. Seated (left to right) are George Snyder, representative of an Atlanta, Ga., purchaser; Albert L. Koesters, chief deputy county Treasurer, who had charge of Ye sale, and Leroy Fligel, treasurer’s office

Welfare Department officials said there was one book which would not be sent to a prison. They said it is called “American Locks and Their Mechanism.”
Missing 15 Years
The book collection unearthed three belonging to the State which have been missing for more’ than 15 years. One of these, “The Battles of the American Revolution.” bore a sticker, “The Library of the Indiana School for the Deaf and Dumb.” It will be returned to that school, officials decided. Another donor mailed in an Indianapolis Library book whose pages revealed the donor's library ecard. Two books marked with a stamp of the Marion County Library, formerly located at the Court House, but nonexistent for many years, also were received. Inmates at the Indiana Woman's Prison soon will see the latest 1938 fashion patterns in a donated magazine.
Dickens’ Works Lead Rest
More copies of Charles Dickens’ works were received than of any other author. Several complete sets were donated. Romeo and Juliet was a close second with more than 30 copies. Dictionaries were third with about 15. Welfare Director Thurman Gottschalk issued a new appeal for dictionaries and said today he will accept unlimited number of them. More than 50 volumes from the lbrary of former Governor Samuel Ralston were donated by his widow, Mrs. Jennie Ralston. ‘Books considered by the selection committee as undesirable will be

ISocialists Vote 45- 47 To Support Daladier; Chinese Press Drive
Japs Still Being Pressed Back . SHANGHAI, April 12 (U. P).— Chinese forces massed today for a major assault on Tsinan, rich silk and glassware manufacturing capital of Shantung Province.’ Unofficial reports from Chinese field headquarters asserted that severe street fighting was in progress in the eastern and southern suburbs. In Hankow, provisional Chinese capital, Gen. Chen Cheng, head of the Political Affairs Bureau, -said that “Chinese troops are still in the vicinity of Tsinan, although they failed to occupy the city.” The Chinese Army gazette reported that advance units had withdrawn from the outskirts temporarily to await the arrival of reinforcements.
Japanese Units Trapped
Other Chinese reports claimed that scattered forces had isolated Japanese units at many points along the Tientsin-Pukow Railroad, although the chief offensive was
against Tsinan. A Japanese spokesman denied any reverses in Shantung Province. In southern Shantung, survivors of the battle of Taierchwang, where the Japanese suffered their greatest defeat of the war, barricaded themLselves in Yihsien, to the northwest. The town was under heavy assault and the Chinese predicted that the Japanese would be “annihilated soon.” Remnants of the Japanese forces in the hills east of Yihsien were being “mopped up and machinegunned and bombed from the air.” The Japanese, meanwhile, bombed strategic points along the Lungahi railroad, the main Chinese line of defense protecting Hankow, in an effort to disrupt the flow of supplies to the Chinese Shantung forces.
$50,000,000 Chinese Silver Bought by U. S.
WASHINGTON, April 12 (U. P.). —The United States has purchased more than $50,000,000 of Chinese silver since the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese war, official reports disclosed today. Evidence was lacking whether the dollar. exchange which this country thus made available to ‘China was used for war p s, but an official source told the United Press that as fast as dollar credits were set up, China used them to purchase American “merchandise.”.
Soviet to Protest
Jap Plane Invasion’
- MOSCOW, April 12 (U.P.).—The Government was reported ready today to protest to Japan against a reported encroachment of the So-viet-Manchukuo border by Japanese planes. The incident was reported by the Tass News Agency in a dispatch from Kharbarvosk. Eleven Japanese military planes, including two bombers, were said to have crossed the frontier 12 miles from Paltavaka. Soviet planes were said to have met and followed the Japanese ships back to the frontier. One of the Japanese planes made a forced landing just inside the border. Its pilot was detained. He gave his name as Maeda and said that the plane belonged to a squadron of Japanese Army bombers from Korea.

End of Strike Ordered
To Aid Daladier
PARIS, April 12 (U. P.) —Premier “National Dee fense” cabinet went ihto power toe day with an overwhelming prelimie nary vote of confidence in the Chamber of Deputies and a quickly engineered agreement to end the general strike threat against French industry. A Government victory on the full powers bill was virtually assured when the Socialists, in party meet Ing, voted 45 to 27 to support the i
The strikes, tying up the mete allurgical industry of the Paris region and threatening a serious blow to national rearmament, came unexpectedly to an end during an afternoon of negotiations between Paul Ramadier, Labor Minister, and union leaders. The General Labor Federation. accepted arbitration and agreed to order immediate evacuation of the factories by the sit-down strikers.
