Don Stiver, State Safety Director, reported highway deaths in Indiana dropped 78 during the first three months of the year as compared * with the similar 1937 period.

Meanwhile, Marion County's traffic toll for the year reached 39 when one man was killed and three others were injured critically in a spectacular crash on W. Washington St. late yesterday. The county toll this time last year was 53. During the first three months this

year, 213 persons lost their lives in Indiana traffic mishaps, compared with 291 for the 1937 period, Mr. Stiver reported. Mr. Stiver warned, however, that this gain might be wiped out as the

approach of spring and summer weather brings pleasure traffic to the highways. The State Police, he said, are taking extra precautions to curb any outbreaks of recklessness. Mr. Stiver reported that 6500 accidents involving property damage of approximately $600,000 occurred in January, February and March. But he saw a hopeful note in the figures for March, when only 36 persons were killed, a 38 per cent decline from March, 1937. Knox County had the best record of counties of more than 25,000 population with no fatalities during the period. Other counties which led their classifications with no deaths reported were Hamilton in the group from 20,000 to 25,000; Adams from 15,000 to 20,000; Franklin from 10,000 to 15,000, and Switzerland in the group under 10,000 population.

‘Evansville Sets Record

- ““Evansvillée had the best record in cities aver 70,000 population, reporting only three persons killed, and Logansport made the best improvement over 1937, reporting no deaths. The following cities led their classifications with no deaths in the three-month period: Elkhart, 25,000 to 70,000; Logansport, 10,000 to 25,000; Columbus, 5000 to 10,000; Tell City, 2000 to 5000, and Danville, under 2000. Meanwhile a motorcyclist was injured in one of the four city accidents here overnight as police arrested 38 motorists on traffic charges, 12 on charges of making illegal left turns, six on speeding charges and one on a charge of drunken driving. * Seven erring motorists were fined $46 by Judges John McNelis and Charles Karabell in Municipal Court today. Delbert C. Kimberlin, 31, of 925 Cedar St., gasoline station operator, was fatally injured when the auto he was driving in W. Washington St. ran across the road, plunged over a ditch, struck a tree and crashed into a home in the 7200 block.

Foot Is Severed Dessie Mahaney, 18, of 539 S. _ Birch Ave. in the frunt seat with Mr. Kimberlin, received a fractured left hip and his left foot was severed at the ankle. Delbert Cook, 18, of 821 S. Birch Ave., and Lewis Wilson, 19, of 815 Coffey St., riding in the rear seat, suffered head injuries and possible skull fractures. The injured wepe taken to City Hospital. Mrs. Ethel Heuser, R. R. 3, Box 184, told deputies she was in the front room of her home when she saw the machine speeding toward the driveway as though to turn toward the house. She said she ran from the front room to the kitchen just as she heard the car hit the tree, then it plunged over the front steps and through the front wall of the house into the living room. Deputies said they believed Mr. Kimberlin was racing or was trying to pass another auto when he lost control of his car. Verle Smock, 25, of 530 N. Temple Ave., suffered a back 4njury when hurled from his motorcycle after it struck a truck driven by A. H. ‘Heath, of 1140 E. Washington St., at Highland Ave. and Michigan St.

Democrats File List of Names for County Slate; Watson Attacks Spending|

Henry Proposes Materni-| ty Hospital for Needy; Wolff Asks Tax Cut.

“New Deal spending” was the target in a political broadside last night from former U. S. Senator James E. Watson, launching his “comeback” campaign. : Speaking at an Irvington Repubcian Club meeting, the former Senator said he believed local instead of Federal authorities should handle relief and unemployment and added that he favored “a limited social security program.” He charged that Democratic Party leaders wanted additional relief funds

“for political purposes.” Mr. Watson described himself as a “youngster,” and said he was perfectly able to conduct a campaign. He is to seek the G. O. P. nominaton for Senator at the state convention. Other Republican developments today included: 1. Herman C. Wolff, mayoralty candidate, reiterated his pledge of tax reduction and economy in city government, in campaign addresses last night. 2. George A. Henry, mayoralty candidate, advocated establishing a free maternity hospital for the poor. 3. Earl B. Teckemeyer, mayoralty candidate, said in a speech last night he had not carried on a “campaign of villification or mudslinging,” and “will have nothing to live down or take back.” In attacking New Deal attempts to end unemployment, Mr. Watson said the national Government has a debt of 44 billion dollars.’

Criticizes Fund Request

“Now the Democrats are asking for more money. How can we be any better off,” he said, “after this administration spends five billion dollars more? “What do the Democrats’ want this money for? For political purposes! But with conditions- that exist in this country today, I don’t believe that the American electorate can be bought. “Who knows best how to handle the problems of relief and unemployment, the people in individual communities or theorists ‘who sit in some office in Washington? = The local folks do, of course.” Mr. equality under the Constitutica meant equality of opportunity, and, addressing the younger members of the audience, he said . that their “grandchildren will not have finished paying for New Deal extravagance and tinkering.”

Opposes Influx of Aliens

He said if he is returned to the Senate his first fight would be to tighten immigration regulations and exclude aliens “who have no right in this counfry.” . “Following the recent happenings in Europe, the President said we should open the gates to let in some of the unfortunate peoples of other countries.” the former Senator said. “I don’t believe we should. I am opposed to any form of unrestricted immigration. There are six million aliens in the United States now who are not registered. “Many of them are on relief, They are being kept by the hard-earned money of American taxpayers.” He attacked the reorganization bill and the Supreme Court revision plan as attempts to establish “oneman government,” and declared the Democrats have carried out only one platform pledge—the repeal of prohibition. Defending the Republican Party's protective tariff theory, Mr. Watson said “it wag the greatest factor in keeping American wage scales high.” Mr. Teckemeyer told the Irvington group that he is running on the

“shortest, simplest and most im-

portant platform in the history of local campaigns—reduce taxes.” “I am fully aware of the other pressing problems which must be met and they will be met in due

G. L. U. Opposes Sullivan’ s| Candidacy; Snethen Urges Labor Board.

The Marion County Democratic Central Committee this afternoon filed ‘with the Election Board the list of candidates who have consented to be included on the official Democratic county slate. In several cases, two.or more candidates ror one office were listed. Additional consents were expected to be filed later, Election Supervisor Charles R. Ettinger said. Party leaders said the lists do not constitute . the slate, but explained that the official slate will be “made

up from those who have filed con-

sents.” Two Names for Judge

Among the offices for which more than one consent was filed ‘was that of Criminal Court judge, with both Frank P. Baker, incumbent, and Dewey E. Myers listed. The list included no names in the mayoralty race. . Shortly after the Democratic list was filed, similar. lists were submitted by the Workers Nonpartisan Political Action League, an A. F. of L. group; Labor's Nonpartisan League, a C. I. O. organization, and by a group of 12 persons identifying themselves as “independent Republicans.” Meanwhile, the Indianapolis Central Labor Union was on record as opposing Reginald H. Sullivan for the Democratic mayoralty nomination, after a stormy session in which his record as former Mayor was both denounced and praised.

A resolution of opposition to Mr. Sullivan’s candidacy was adopted by the organization, composed of A. P. of L. unions, last night. The vote was 51 to 22. The delegates’ action conflicted sharply with that of the Workers Nonpartisan Political ‘Action League Inc.,, which voted over the weekend to indorse Mr. Sullivan's candidacy.

Record Is Attacked

The C. L. U. resolution, signed by about 25 delegates, follows: “Whereas, During the term of office of Reginald Sullivan as Mayor of the City .of Indianapolis and Ernest Ropkey as City- Councilman, the ‘anfipicketing Jaw Was not repealed: and; “Whereas, Wages were cut as low as some receiving $800 per ‘year; and, “Whereas, Strikers were clubbed by the police and strikes were Depkem ‘with the aid of the ‘police; an ¥ “Whereas, It was impossible to have. favorable labor legislation enacted; therefore be it. “Resolved, That this body oppose the election of Reginald H. Sullivan as Mayor of Indianapolis and Ernest. Ropkey as Councilman of Indianapolis.” The debate for adoption of the resolution was led by Arthur W. Lyday, of the Motion Picture Operators’ Union. The group against adoption was headed by State Senator E. Curtis White, member of the Pressmen’s

Union and president of the Allied

Printing Trades Council, and by Adolph. J. Fritz, Indiana State Federation of Labor secretary.

a Resolution Criticized

Mr. Fritz asserted that Mr. Lyday was among a group of 15 labor leaders who. asked Mr. Sullivan to run for Mayor. Mr. White contended the resolution was improper because a C. L. U. rule prohibits political action. He ‘told . the delegates that as Mayor, Mr. Sullivan “did everything

in his power for labor and to help

labor.” = Defending. municipal pay cuts as forced by the depression and necessary “to help the man in the street,” Mr. White said, “Mr. Sullivan took the biggest salary cut of all and took it first.” - Other Democratic political developments included: 1. Mr. Sullivan’s nomination was urged ‘by five speakers in a radio program last night. 2. Edward O. Snethen, mayoralty : (Turn to Page Five)

Individual responsibility, association activity and group co-operation are requisites of an effective safety program, Miss Marion L. Telford, National Congress of Parents and Teachers safety chairman, said this afternoon. She spoke at the second session of

the 27th annual convention of the Indiana Parents and Teachers Con-

Assisting her were to be members of the Governor’s Committee on Safety. “One out of every 12 of you seated here will be killed or injured ‘in

Miss Telford said. Lauds Safety Program

“Individual responsibility in lowering the high accident rate could be assumed by the practicing of proper safety measures by parents and teachers as examples for children.” She commended the “Highway Safety Program of States,” indorsed by the National Congress and’ 11 other prominent organizations. The program, designed to reduce accidents, has proved itself in the experiénce of states which have lowered accidents, Miss Telford said. It includes. group co-operation in legislation, motor vehicle administration, enforcement, engineering, edu=

~The : Safety “Board. revealed today that an old Indiana ‘blue law,” still in force, prohibits the: performance on Sunday of light entertainment, including movies, circuses and dances. : ~ It was discovered when Mrs. John Moore, Indianapolis Orphans Home president, asked the Board for assurance that Cole Bros.Clyde Beatty Circus would be allowed two perfomances here Sunday, May 8. She explained the Home sponsored the Sunday shows and received money used

‘Edward Fillion, Board member, told her of the law, and said that anyone, by filing an affidavit, could stop any of the movies and - dances and could stop the circus. He explained that circuses in the past have played on Sunday without permits because “the City was not inclined to issue permits for shows that were unlawful, : ‘But, he said, if the people appear to want the circus, it probably will show, since all laws are meant to follow the will of the most of the people.

VANNUYS SEEKS ELEVATION FUND

Senator Urges Earmarking Of Sum for South Side Tracks Project.

By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, April 26.—Senator VanNuys will seek to earmark funds in the new spending program for the long-discussed South Side track elevation project in Indianapolis, he announced today:= A similar effort was made by the senior Senator in 1936, but was unsuccessful. “I believe that both WPA and PWA funds should be earmarked by Congress this time so that only worth-while projects will be carried’ out,” Senator VanNuys ex-

“In my. “opinion, noné is more worthy than track elevation .on the

funds for track elevation were made under the administrations. of former Mayors Sullivan and Kern.

| A contract had been drawn in which

the railroads involved were to finance 50 per cent, the City of Indianapolis 34 per’ cent and Marion County 16 per cent of the cost.

| Germany Left Off

Welles’ List WASHINGTON, April 26 (U. P.). —The State Department, replying to the House Foreign Affairs Committee request that it name the countries it regards as treaty violators today cited previous statements on foreign policy which indicated it felt that Italy and Japan come in that category. A letter from Sumner Welles, Acting Secretary of State, responding to a resolution by Rep. Byron Scott (D. Cal.), requesting the information was made public by Chairman Sam D. McReynolds (D. Tenn.). The Committee voted to report the resolution adversely, citing that all Pett ment information had been suplie Immediately upon convening, the House received the Committee’s ad-

‘| verse report and voted to table the

Scott resolution. Scott Unsatisfied

Rep. Scott asserted that he did not “consider Mr. Welles’ letter a satisfactory answer, or a realistic answer.” “It was a partial answer,” he said.

“It does not name all the nations |

now breaking the Kellogg-Briand Pact. It doesn’t name Germany in the Austrian situation, or Italy and Germany in connection with the Spanish situation. “It doesn't give as many specific dates and instdnces as I wanted.” Rep. Scott, when he introduced his resolution a week ago, intimated that President Roosevelt had given his tacit approval to the move.

Japan and Italy Mentioned “In the summer and early autumn of 1935 when it appeared probable that an invasion of Ethiopia by Italian forces might occur, the Government of the United States took occasion to remind both

the Italian and Ethiopian Governments of the provisions of the Pact

of Paris (Kellogg-Brian pact) and

the obligations existing thereunder,” Mr. Welles’ letter stated. “The statement issued by the Secretary of State on Oct. 6, 1937, to the effect that ‘the Government of the United States has been forced to the conclusion that the action of Japan in China . . . is contrary to the provisions of the nine power treaty of Feb. 6, 1922, regarding principles and policies to be followed in matters concerning China, and to those of the KelloggBriand pact of Aug. 27, 1928, 1s another instance,” it was stated. Mr. Welles told the Committee he assumed that the resolution did not refer to the 15 Governments which have defaulted or failed to pay in full their debts to this government.

AUTO LEADERS SUPPORT CODE

Approve 17 of Fair Trade Proposals; Eventually to Come Under FTC.

DETROIT, April 26 (U. P.).— Leaders of the automobile industry indicated general approval today of a proposed fair trade code.

Their votes on the first of a series of fair trade proposals indicated satisfaction with a plan which eventually will bring the industry |

under the wing of the Federal Trade

Commission. Approximately: 400 representatives of manufacturers, dealers and affiliated industries were present at a meeting conducted by the FTC and voted upon proposals which may be included in the fair trade agreement, ; Of the first proposals suggested, 17 were passed. These indicated the industry’s sentiment. The Commission, after all proposals have been voted upon, will draw up a frade code which will be submitted to individual concerns. After they have had an oppor-. tunity to indicate their reaction to the code, a final one will be drafted by the FTC and it will have court power to enforce it. Proposals voted upon favorably today were: Prohibition of misrepresentation, in advertising, in guarantees, in age of cars, mileage of cars, models or other factors; prohibition of defammation of competitors or issuance of ‘disparaging data concerning competitors’ products; ‘prohibition of circulation of misleading price quotations, not only to the public but within the industry, including to dealers; prohibition of misrepresentation of used cars, offering officials’ cars as new cars, or offering used cars as new ones. Prohibition of tampering with speedometers on used cars; prohibition of misrepresentation of busi-

ness, whereby only authorized deal-|’

ers would be so designated, designed to prevent car bootlegging, and prohibition of espionage to obtain information from competitors. . Prohibition of attempts to induce customers or agents to breach contracts with competitors; prohibition of cofmercial bribery; prohibition of sole of altered trade-marked merchandise; prohibition of imitation or concealment of trade marks and trade names; prohibition of quoting fictitious reductions in price; prohibition of false advertising by misrepresenting prices or terms. Prohibition of the practice of misrepresenting prices or terms by false use of the word “special”; prohibition of practice of substituting products; prohibjtion of use ‘of misleading illustrations; prohibition of contingent sales as a prerequisite to purchase of one or more other products where effect might be creation of monopoly.

Tech High School building would be financed

with a bond issue, it was said.

Mr. Good said he recommended the Broad Ripple addition be given preference in the proposed PWA grant in a questionnaire sent him by the Federal Government.

Three Projects Under Way

Completion of the two projects would mark fulfillment of a program outlined two years ago. Three other projects included in the program are under way. A fourth is completed. Those which are being cone structed are the new Thomas Carr Howe High School in Irvington, the Washington High School addition and the Crispus Attucks addition. - A junior high school addition at School 26 was put into use this semester. The need for the Tech High School building was outlined in the building committee’s report as fol lows: “The overload of students in exe cess of adequate facilities at the Technical schools is approximately 2300. The school now has 30 class< rooms housed in temporary porte able buildings, which are unsatise factory for educational purposes. Besides these temporary buildings there are five other buildings at least 60 years old, which should be possible.” ne On the Broad Ripple situation, the committee reported: “The present facilities for extrae curricular activities at Broad Ripple High School are wholly inadequate,

At the present time, it is necessary for students to go elsewhere for activities. in dramatics and for all home indoor athletic games. “The lack of proper auditorium . facilities makes it impossible to have those convocations of the entire student body which are so valuable a part of high school life.”

Finance Committee Named

The committee last February in a report to the Board urged speedy completion of the remaining two projects. Mr. Wilde, in an editorial in The Public School News, official School Board publication, released today, said: “A finance committee appointed by the Board undertook to devise ways and means of carrying out the program. On account of the great reduction “in property values, there was no substantial bonding margin and the program outlined by the finance committee for the units now completed or under construction, involved raising the greater part of the needed money by the inclusion of the necessary amount for capital expenditures in the tax levy. “It is hoped during the current calendar year ways and means of financing these projects will be devised. Experience in the past has proved. . . . that failure to carry out the proposed high school building program will impair the usee fulness of our school system.”
