paigning on the platform of a “businessman for Senator.”

Because of the limited capacity of the club quarters, it was announced, atténdance will be limited to male voters. Mr. Willis is to be introduced by his brother, Fred I. Willis, Indianapolis. Mr. Chaille, in announcing his support of Mr. Teckemeyer, said: “The one esesntial thing to be done at this time is to bring about the changes in our methods of managing the affairs of the City of Indianapolis which Mr. Tecke=meyer proposes. The tax situation is now beyond all reason and is a burden to everyone.

Advocates Economies

“Any candidate who can and will strive to effect economies in government deserves the support of all Republicans, regardless of factions. “Mr. Teckemeyer has been in the realty management business here in Indianapolis more than 10 years and his success in that field qualifies him for a similar post in charge of the affairs of our city. “He has both a local and national reputation in the management fieid and the experience gained in managing real estate through the dark years of the depression has been a wonderful teacher in pointing the way to effecting economies and eliminating waste. “Mr.. Teckemeyer is a lifelong resident of Indianapolis and knows the City’s needs. His one aim, if nominated and elected, will be tc effect the economies which will lead to a lessening of the tax burden. We know he has the courage and ability to carry out this plan without impairing the public service or eliminating any of the real necessities.” It was announced that Mr. Teckemeyer’s candidacy also is being supported by the following real estate and businessmen: «William S. Allen, James K. Robbins, Charles A. Huff, Joseph J. Schmid, Thomas F. Carson, Thomas Grinslade, Fay C. Cash, Charles O. Grinslade, Frank L. Moore, Otto Meyer, Harry Krause, Ralph Huber, Frank L. Thomas, P. A. Havelick, Robert Kershaw, Edgar E. Brodbeck, Harry Hull, Carl G. Seytter, C. B. Durham, Russe Hartman, Fred L. Palmer, James. W. Hurt and C. A. Young. The women’s Wolff-for-Mayor Club will not have central headquarters, Miss Fuqua said, but will meet in various homes during the primary. Miss Fuqua predicted that women will play an important part in the campaign. “Women will really get out and work,” she said. “And this time they have a cause to which they can really give their best efforts. “Herman Wolff has the ability to give the city an efficient and eco-

4a

nomical administration and this appeal .is one that will certainly win the votes of women.”

* Other Officers Named

She will serve as chairman. Other officers will be Mrs. Julia Reed, vice chairman; Mrs. C. C. Wallace, secretary; Miss Carrie Hoag, treasurer; Mrs. Lawrence Orr and Mrs. Louise Brink Flétcher, publicity chairman. William Tyner has been named president of the Fountain Square Henry-for-Mayor Club. Gerald Ricketts is vice president, Leslie Iliff

is secretary and Mrs. Ruby Hansing,

treasurer. Mr. Tyner issued the following statement: “This is the first time in the history of Indianapolis that the citizens supporting the Republican Party have had the opportunity to vote for and nominate a candidate for Mayor from the South Side. “George Henry, having lived throughout his life on the South Side, is familiar with the definite need for track elevation and the correction of traffic evils in this area. He also is committed to a policy of reduction in the costs of government, and I am sure that his nomination will mean the election of a Republican Mayor.”

Pledges Accident Probes

Mr. Haerle pledged that if he Is elected every drunken driver will be prosecuted vigorously and. every accident involving a drunken driver will be investigated promptly.

“It has come to the point,” he said, “where our children and wives are not safe on the streets of Indianapolis for fear that some inebriate, who has no regard for law or its enforcement, will either murder them in cold blood or seriously injure and deform them for life. “A deputy prosecutor will be especially assigned to cases of this character, and it is my intention to see that these cases are quickly and effectively disposed of. “When such offenders realize that no political influence or friendship will prevent their being prosecuted to the full extent of the law, then and then only will there be a decrease in drunken driving.”

Urges Playgrounds :

Mr. Wolff said every section of the city is entitled to adequate playgrounds for children. “I favor any reasonable move which will serve to keep them from the physical dangers of playing in the streets and the moral hazards of frequenting pool halls and other such undesirable places,” he said. In another address at 2502 Columbia Ave., Mr. Wolff said expenditure of Federal money allocated to In-

dianapolis should be divorced from

all political considerations. “There is no room in a properly operated city government for the diverting of such funds to building a political machine,” he said. “Such money comes from the taxpayers of America, and must in all honesty be used for the furtherance of the interest of the majority of taxpayers, not for a favored few. “Simply stating this self-evident

On Possible Choice of State Democrats.

woman to represent Indiana in the Senate. ; Rep. John W. Boehne Jr. is about the only Congressman to contend he isn’t willing to be promoted to the upper chamber at this time. His Evansville residence also bars him | from consideration, it is contended. Val Nolan, United States District Attorney at Indianapolis, has been mentioned, however, and he aiso comes from Evansville. One of the latest names {to reach here as a possibility with strong labor support is State Senator E. Curtis White, Indianapolis, who also is president of the State Board of Agriculture. The latter position would attract farm votes to him also, it is contended. Fred Hoke, Indianapolis manufacturer and president of the Public Welfare Board, is being mentioned prominently here as another possible candidate. .

State Democrats Look For Candidates, Report

Indiana Democratic leaders today were reported exploring the possibilities of finding a candidate for the Democratic nomination for U. S. Senator who is stronger than any of those now in the race. The State administration reportedly has decided to refrain from supporting any one candidate at the moment. Samuel D. Jackson, Ft.

date. I solemnly pledge myself, if you see fit to make me your Mayor, that all such funds will be impartially and judiciously expended for the greatest good of the greatest number. Not only will there be no favor for the few, but I positively assure you that nobody will be discriminated against by reason of his race, creed or political faith.” Mr. Richardson said: «Marion County citizens and its legitimate businessmen bear a great part of the loss in money and property that organized crime exacts in the State of Indiana. «This is true because such money and property are diverted from the normal channels of ‘business, and there has been no notable decrease in the tax burden wherever racketeering has been known to flourish, Its entrenchment makes thoroughgoing enforcement still more difficult. , . . “It is not enough merely to prosecute the individual who is a pawn in the hands of the ‘barons’ and leave undisturbed the persons who control the situation. “We have on our books statutes which apply. equally to the ‘big shots’ as well as to their underlings, and if IT am nominated and elected it shall be my policy to strike at the root of the evil if evidence shows ‘that orgdnizers have their crime organized for self protection.”

Frank McHale, Democratic national’ committeeman, said today that the senatorial situation was discussed at a meeting of organization leaders in the Governor's office yesterday afternoon. a At Newcastle, where he spoke last night; the United Press quoted Governor Townsend as denying that his support had been withdrawn from Mr. Jackson. The Governor previously had said repeatedly in press conferences that the administration was not committed to any candidate. 2 Among those seen as possibilities for the Administration’s backing are State Senator E. Curtis White, State Agricultural Board president and labor leader; Welfare Director Thurman Gottschalk; Public Service Commissioner Fred Bays; Walter

Myers, Indianapolis, who sought the,

nomination six years ago, and U. S. Attorney Val Nolan. It was not believed the Administration’s change of position would have any effect on the status of Senator VanNuys, or of Alex E. Gordon, labor leader, who also has announced for the post.

PLEDGE TO HOLD

[HOME'S CONTROL

Commissioner Firm Against Surrendering Orphanage To Welfare, Board.

Although County Commissioners are hampered by a lack of funds in their supervision of the Colored Orphens Home, Dow W. Vorhies, Commissioners’ president, repeated today that he will “fight to the bitter end to prevent the County Welfare Board from taking charge. The Commissioners yesterday completed their inquiry into conditions and methods of supervision at the home. Lo pRlas ..As the Commissioners prepared to submit a transcript of statements taken from inmates and employees to Juvenile Court Judge John F. Geckler, W. D. Harrison, representing the Civil Liberty League, Negro organization, said that the league was not entirely satisfied with the results of the investigation.

‘Tll Fight to Bitter End’

“If you can’t pay for trained workers here, why not let the County Welfare Board run it?” he asked Mr. Vorhies. “I see what you want,” Mr. Vorhies exclaimed, jumping to his feet. “But I'll tell you this: I'll fight to the bitter end to prevent the Welfare Board from taking charge out here. If we had the money the Welfare Board has we could do a better job. We're not satisfied with conditions as they are, but we're doing the best we can with what we have. “This is the only institution in the country without an auxiliary or civic group which is interested in it. If some group would come out here and help the children there would be less criticism. If you'd help us it would be a better place.”

Turns in Badge

The Commissioners ordered an engineer at the home to stop carrying a revolver while on duty. The engineer turned in a police badge, saying that he “wouldn’t want the badge without the gun. If I'm going to be the law here I want to be all the law.” He said that he had drawn the gun only once, when a superior drew a pancake turner on him, which he described as a “deadly weapon.” Se A matron accused by some of the girl inmates of cursing and beating them, denied she cursed, but said she had whipped some of the smaller girls. -

CONTROL OF COUNTY ROADS BY STATE HIT

Any attempt of the State of Indiana to take over all county roads willl be opposed by the Indiana County Commissioners Association, Dow W. Vorhies, Association secretary, said today. : The Association met this afternoon in the Washington Hotel to determine the strategy to be used if such a move as has been proposed

in Michigan were proposed here.
