lars to pull ourselves out of the depression” there is more unemployment today than there ever was.” 3. Also addressing the Irvington group, Herman C. Wolff, mayoralty candidate, said election of Republican municipal, County and Congressional candidates must lead the way toward restoration of sound government.

Charges Ban at Meetings

“The County Organization voted to make this primary an open one,” Mr. Henry said. “It also decided that there would be no slates. With these declarations of principles, I am in hearty accord. I have learned, however, to my amazement, that the wishes of the organization and the will of the people of our party are to be brushed aside.

“Within the last two days, speakers from my headquarters have been denied admission to Republican rallies where other candidates have talked. I, personally, have been requested not to attend certain meet.ings, which, I subsequently learned, were addressed not only by my ‘chief opponent for Mayor .but by other candidates in the Republican primary. “I also have learned that slates are being prepared in an attempt to ram down the people’s throats the choices of the utility interests of this city in the present primary. Many closed meetings are being held, at which political offices in this County are being bartered like §0 much merchandise.

Republicans Consent

The following G. O. P. candidates gave their consent to have their names included on a slate to be filed by 12 “independent Republicans”: Alvah C. Waggoner, State Senator; Elmon Williams, joint State Representative; Cary D. Jacobs, Paul G. Mofiett, Joseph O. Carson II, Walter J. Mercer, J. Otto Lee, Ellsworth E. Heller, Charles P. Ehlers, Wesley T. Wilson, Julia Belle Tutewiler, Kenneth A. Weddle, Edward H. Wischmeyer and William Heim, State Rrepresentatives. William O. Nelson, 11th District Congressman; Edwin Haerle and Russell I. Richardson, Prosecutor; Arthur FP. Eickhoff and Frank Cones, Treasurer; William A. Royse, Superior Court 1; John F. Engelke, Superior Court 4; William D. Oren, Auditor; Mabel L. Lowe, Recorder. Edward R. Kealing, Sheriff; Maude Moudy, Center Township ; Charles C. York, Clarence ©. Baker and Deane M. Stephenson, Center Township Advisory Board members. Herman C. Wolff, Mayor; Carl Buddenbaum, Carter W. Eltzroth Sr., Harmon A. Campbell, Frank Beckwith, Herman E. Bowers, Walfer E. Hemphill and Ralph F. Moore, City Councilmen.

Twelve “Independents” The 12 “independent Republi-

» cans” who indicated their intention

to drait a slate are Seward A. Baker, Frank E. Livengood, Vester E. Clark, William G. Kreis, Claude Lett, Paul Phillips, Mrs. Lula Bess, Inez M. Miller, Fannie Parson, Ethel Bradley, Walter Spahr and Jessie Spahr. Three men filed consents to be included on slates of a Wayne Township Republican group. They are Earl Hoffman, trustee; Fred R. Eastwood, assessor, and Charles W. Martin, constable. In his addresses, Mr. Teckemeyer said: “Victory for Republicans in the fall is assured if we present a ticket made up of men who are as clean as a Whistle and who are not vulnerable to political attack when the time comes for the fall campaign. “We must nominate men who have had the right kind of wholesome support in thi campaign and

avoid those men whb can not appeal to ail the votérs in the fall because of the comnections they were compelled to make to win the nomination.

“Above all things that situation !

or be avoided because such men, even if nominated, can not be elected and the people and workers know it.

Nelson Charges Waste Addressing the Irvington women,

: Mr. Nelson said:

“We have observed the experiments of the New ‘Deal for six years; we have seen untried plans put into operation on wholesale proportions without pretrial or due study. “We have seen the promotion of class hatred, we have seen control

the candidates

of labor, industries, farming and business by bureaus with the bianket authority of Congress; we have spent nearly 20 billions dollars to pull ourselves out of the depression—and where do we find ourselves? “There is more unemployment today than there ever was; there is almost no market for the farmer —and no sales for the merchant or manufacturer.

Charges Relief Waste

Speaking at the Irvington Women’s Club meeting last night, Mr. Wolff said: “It s time that the problem of relief be approached from the standpoint of need and efficiency rather than from one of political expediency. “Money which should have gone for relief of our needy citizens has been wasted and squandered in expenditures on useless projects and on extravagant, overmanned organizations. ° “Relief of any lasting nature must come from real payrolls and real jobs. The confidence of industry and the confidence of labor can be restored in this country if we will start in now to concentrate all of our energies on the election of Republican candidates next fall. J. W. Ebaugh, seeking the nomination for Auditor, said his many years “of business and accounting SxDeriene qualified him for the ofce “There is no activity in the county government not affected by the Auditor’s office,” he declared at a meeting last night at 2230 College Ave. “A keen knowledge of administration procedure and strict adherence to the law without fear or favor are necessary to a successful administration of the office.”, Hiner Hits Rate Pleas Ward B. Hiner, mayoralty candidate, speaking at Republican meetings at 2300 Pierson St. and 2145 Shelby St. last night, declared that promises of mayoralty candidates to reduce utility rates are “silly crackpot plans.” “Doesn’t it sound silly,” he said, “for a supposed-to-be-intelligent man to stand’ before an intelligent audience and say that he will see that utility rates are reduced? “Isn’t it an insult to an intelligent audience to tell them that when the plain cold facts are a matter of record in the Federal Courts’ wherein the reduction of water rates has been at issue for nine years? “The utilities are backing men for

‘Mayor and it is well known to

everyone who reads the papers wherein the candidate says, ‘I stand for reduction in utilities’ rates.’ That slogan and statement has been manufactured and furnished to by the utilities themselves, knowing that they have a throttle hold on court procedure, that they can wear the people out before they get a reduction in

rates. “Why is it that the utilities have hired ward chairmen for years to work for the utilities at large wages? Everyone knows it is politics, and they expect to control the politics of the city by hiring precinct committeemen and ward chairmen.” Duties of the Marion County Treasurer were outlined by Prank Cones, Republican candidate for the office, in a campaign talk Mr. Cones said the Treasurer not only is the tax collector and banker for the County, but also is Treasurer for the City of Indianapolis, the School City and the Police and Firemen’s Pension Funds, and custodian of the Barrett Law money paid in for street improvements. Because of the fact many taxpay-

ers desire to see him personally, Mr.

Cones said, the Treasurer should be in his office all the time during the regular office hours.

Importance of the office of Sheriff |

was emphasized by Jack Schlott, Republican Sheriff candidate, in campaign meetings last night. “I have previously pledged the closest co-operation with County, City and State officials,” Mr. Schlott said, “and now renew that pledge. “Just yesterday we had an instance of friction existing between the Sheriff and the Prosecutor. Such lack of agreement can only result in the public being the sufferer, and if nominated and elected, the Sheriff’s office will be conducted by me for the best interests of all citizens.”

Boyce Favors Managership

. The State Legislature, in the last analysis, determines the kind of government the people have, William, A. Boyce Jr. candidate for State Senator, said in a talk last night at 2238 Pearson St.

“Citizens interested in improving their local government affairs,” Mr. Boyce said, “should not overlook the importance of nominating on their ticket for the Legislature men who have a proven background of conscientious : public service.

“The voters of Indianapolis, in 1927, voted five to one for the City Manager form of government, yet the Legislature under McNutt and Townsend’s absolute control, have done nothing to restore the City Manager law to the statute books. “I favor the adoption of an amendment fo our State Constitution giving cities above the fourth class the right to adopt by plebiscite their own home rule charters of local government, supplemented by a re-enactment of a workable City Manager law, by the next session of the Legislature.” Emsley W. Johnson and Mrs. Marjorie Roemler Kinnaird today issued stateme in behalf of Russell I. Richardson, seeking the nomination for Prosecutor. “Mr. Richardson is not a politician in any sense of the word, but would conduct his office motivated by the highest ideals,” Mr. Johnson said. “It gives me pleasure to indorse his candidacy.” Speaking at the Irvington Women’s Republican meeting last night, Mrs. Kinnaird said: “Mr. Richardson has .demonstrated over a period of years that he is a loyal Republican and devoted to the ideals of the party. His nomination will add strength to the ticket in the fall election and his administration as a prosecutor will be one in which ‘we "can al take pride.”

Juvenile Court Group Plans to End Activity

. Activities of the Juvenile Court mmittee will be terminated with the primary Tuesday, provided candidates it sponsors are nominated, according to a statement issued today by the committee. The statement follows: “The committee was formed several months ago for the purpose of obtaining in.each party the ncmination of a man, who, in the opinion of the committee, could be relied upon to elevate the Juvenile Court to the standards set up by specialists in the handling of juvenile offenders as special cases.” “Judge Wilfred Bradshaw of Municipal Court 1, was indorsed as the Juvenile Court candidate in the Democratic primary, and William H. Remy was indorsed in the Republican primary. “The committee is confident both these men will be nominated and it will continue as a campaign organization only in the event one or the other of these candidates is defeated. In thé case of victory for both, the committee in the future will function only with a view of bringing about ‘some legislative changes which have been recommended to help and strengthen the court. “There is every reason for members of the committee to feel it has performed a vitally important public service and it was a source of great satisfaction for the Indianapolis Bar Association to vote overwhelmingly in its recent poll for Judge Bradshaw and Mr. Remy.”

Urges Street Repairs

Discussing street improvements, Mr. Snethen said:

“A visitor often judges the city | fF

by the streets he drives over, and if

the street is full of chuck holes, if | £!

it is dirty and has certain hazards existing in it, then that visitor will get a bad impression of the city. “There are hazards that now exist, such as sharp jogs, crossings with shrubbery or buildings coming out even with the street to hide the view of approaching motorists, and even confusing stop and go signals at diagonal street cross-

ings. “Especially is this true at Fountain Square. Most motorists are confused by the different stop and go signals ' at Fountain Square. Many accidents have occurred here, and only last week the Fountain Square Civic Club made public protests about these confusing signs. “We have had a death trap for many years on W. Washington St. where the National Road and Rockville Road intersect., If these hazards were removed we would lessen accidents and fatalities. “We cannot blame the South Side for wanting track elevation. These tracks have been a hazard for motorists to cross for many years. It is time we weré giving them this track elevation which they have sought for so long.”

Mrs. Buehl Supported Nomination of Mrs. Myrtle Buehl

|as Center Township. Trustee was

urged by Perry Easton, candidate for State Representative, at an open air meeting on W. Washington St. last night. Mrs. Buehl, a South Side resident, is a former social worker and nurse. Commenting that the Trustee's office dispenses more than a million dollars . worth of direct relief each year, Mr. Easton said Mrs. Buehl has all the qualifications necessary to fill this office acceptably. Speaking at the same meeting, L. William Curry, candidate for judge of Superior Court 5, declared: “Bossism caused the downfall of the Republican Party in Marion County and will cause the downfall

of the Democratic Party unless it is |.

ended in this primary. “Candidates picked by the political machine will be dummies if they are placed in office. They owe too much to the machine,”

Parties Meet Monday

To Set Conventions

The State Committees of both Democratic and Republican parties are to meet Monday to fix dates for State conventions. Although Republicans, in previous | vears always have met first, this year there is strong sentiment in both camps to wait and see what the opposition is going to do. Under election laws, both parties are required to fix the convention dates prior.to the primary election, to be held Tuesday. After Omer Stokes Jackson, Democratic State chairman, issued a call yesterday for his State Committee to meet Monday noon in the Claypool, Arch N. Bobbitt, Republican State chairman, set the G. O. P. State committee meeting for 2

By WILLIAM H. LANDER (Copyright, 1938, by Oaited Press) NEW YORK, April 27 (U. P).— President Lazora Cardenas of Mexico is confident. that his country’s relations with the United States will remain unimpaired despite the expropriation of Ameri-can-owned property. ’ “We can look upon the economic

| future of Mexico with well-founded

optimism,” he said in dn exclusive interview: “As. a matter of fact the industry will have an easy time in this country because we have both the co-operation of experienced technicians and the enthusiastic collaboration of all oil workers and the frank support of the people at large. These factors contribute to guarantee success for our enterprise. “Government to government,” he continued, turning to future relations with the United States and Great Britain under conditions of expropriation, “and people to people, the good relations remain intact.

in June.” The Democratic date in recent years has been June 15. Many G. O. P. leaders have indicated they favored delaying their convention until late in the sum-

mer to take advantage of any de-

velopments which would work to their favor if the Democratic session is stormy. Mr. Bobbitt said there is not as much sentiment now for a late convention as there was several weeks ago. One of the objections is that it will prolong the campaign for delegate support for the nomination for U. S. Senator, :

Delegates Named Tuesday

Delegates to the State convention are to be elected in Tuesday's primary. In the G. O. P. camp five men now are.campaigning for the senatorial nomination. They are James E. Watson, former Senator; Clarence H. Wills, Kokomo; Walter F. Bossert, Liberty; Raymond E. Willis, Angola, and Oliver Starr, Gary,

The Democrats have two announced candidates — Samuel D. Jackson, Ft. Wayne, and Alex E. Gordon, Indianapolis labor leader. Senator VanNuys, declaring the State convention delegates will be hand picked by the State House organization, has anonunced he will run for re-election as an independent candidate.

Mexico wishes them to remain so. It also desires to make the relations more cordial because of Mexico’s loyalty to:a principle it long has mantained—that human relations should ° not be stained by egoistic interests.

‘Calls Act Defensive

“The good international relations of Mexico must not in the least be affected by the Government's action regarding ‘the oil companies inasmuch as Mexico's action was founded in the vital and indisputable necessity the Government has to watch over the tranquillity and

| prosperity of the inhabitants of the

country.” Gen. Cardenas said that his order for expropriation of oil properties, largely British and American owned, was a defensive measure. It was to protect the nation, he said, against chaotic conditions which might follow stoppage of the industry as was threatened ong March 18, the date set for termination of labor contracts between the companies and their 18,000 employees. On that day the oil properties were expropriated. “It should not be forgotten,” Gen. Cardenas said, “that our economic peace was . seriously threatened when the companies refused without reason to comply with the ruling of the highest court of the Republic, seeking to lead Mexico—which has always been so ilberal to them—to dangerous economic disequilibrium.’

Companies Deny Refusal

The oil companies contend that they did not refuse without reason to comply with orders of the Mexican Supreme Court. The workers demanded a tremendous levy in increased wages, extension of unionization fo the point where all but actual executives would be compelled to have a union card, and a considerable voice in management. In a last effort to avoid expropriation the companies offered to meet the wage increase but refused to share management responsibilities with unionized employees. President Cardenas claims that his every act in conhection with foreign-owned properties is provided for under the extraordinary powers and policies imposed by the revolutionary Mexican Constitution of 1917. He joined the revolution at 18 and became President after 25 years of intermittent fighting. Today he is as deeply committed to the New Deal in Mexico as President Roosevelt is to the New Deal in the United States. Between the two are some similarities and some fundamental differences. Gen. Cardenas avowedly is chief executive

Jof a socialistic state. Mr. Roose-

velt often has reiterated his commitment to capitalistic principles. Both have described their objectives as an improvement in the condition of the little man.

Both Seek Friendship

Where their policies are most closely duplicated is in the desire of each to maintain friendly relations Mexico City. Their stake there is big and mutual. It is because both Washington and Mexico City have so large an interest in mutually friendly relationships that both Governments are eager now for Satistaciory adjustment. x

FRENCH-BRITISH AIR PACT SEEN

japanese Fear Chinese Will Cut Yellow River Dikes.

- LONDON, April 27 (U, P.)—Premier Edouard Daladier and Foreign Minister Georges Bonnet of France arrived here tonight to begin talks looking toward the strengthening of Franco-British co-operation against threats to the peace of Europe. Viscount Halifax, British Foreign Minister, and French embassy officials greeted them at Croydon Airport. Creation of a British-French Air Force pool, providing for technical co-operation and joint war plane action in event of war, will be a principal topic for discussion when the conversations open tomorrow. It was understood that the Cabinet discussed the .air force pool plan today, at its regular weekly Cabinet meeting, and also discussed a plan to seek Parliamentary authorization for a gigantic war reserve of food supplies. On the Cabinet agenda were: 1. The British-French negotiations, described as the most important political talks to be held here since the Locarno Treaty discussions In 1936. 2. The diplomatic possibilities of demands of the German minority in Czechoslovakia, whom France is bound by treaty to aid against any attack. : Pessimists who sold securities on belief that Britain's credit would be weakened by the huge new budget were routed in hectic trading on the stock exchange today. Powerful private interests bought heavily the market after Government bonds had been hammered down along with stocks in early trading.

Japanese Fear ° Dikes Will Be Cut

SHANGHAI, April 27 (U. P)— Japanese claimed today that thousands of Chinese civilians were abandoning sections of southern

Shantung and Honan provinces in|

what was interpreted as a further indication that the Chinese intended to blast the Yellow River dikes. The Chinese were evacuating to the west. from areas along the Tientsin-Pukow railroad, particular-

ly in the heavily populated Liu]:

River district in Honan Province. The Liu River is southeast of an enormous bend in the Yellow River,

in the exact path of its former}

course. Engineers predicted that the Yellow River would flood, if the dikes were cut, a huge area from which escape would be impossible,

Rebels Crush Attack By Youthful Recruits

HENDAYE, April 27 (U. P)— Rebels crushed a Loyalist counteroffensive south of Alcala de Chisbert on the coast highway to Valencia today. Trenches were strewn with dead and wounded, mostly recently recruited youths, Rebel sources reported. For six hours the Loyalists hurled themselves against the Rebel trenches near Acocebre. Battling in rain and mud, masses Loyalists sometimes came within a few

yards of the Rebel lines. The voices |*

of officers, ordering their men to advance, could be heard. Wave after wave slogged through the mud to be met by machine gun fire and .hand grenades. Those who escape the fire and reached the Rebel lines were grabbed by the knees and hauled into the trnchs. Rbels said more than 2000 prisoners were taken, mostly from 18 to 20 years of age. They reported that a major surrendered with an entire battalion, including 38 other officers, who said they could not continue to sacrifice so many young lives.
