SANTA FE, N. M, April 28 (U.P.).—Federal agents announced today that they had begun a systematic search of the Southwest for a boy seen here Tuesday night who | resembled Peter Levine, kidnaped son of a New Rochelle, N. Y,, lawyer. R. H. Colvin, special agent in charge of the El Paso office of the Department of Justice, revealed at reports had been current for two weeks that the boy had been seen in Southwestern states. A boy, in the company of two men, bought sandwiches Tuesday night at the small roadside restaurant operated by John Karavanos in Santa Fe. Mr. Karavanos and a waitress, Nellie Thiehoff, each identified pictures of the Levine boy as identical with the boy for whom they fixed sandwiches. Karavanos did not become suspicious until he went to the Police Station yesterday on another matter and saw pictures of the Levine boy on the bulletin board. He immediately told local police that he had seen the Levine boy the night before. The search for the boy was extended today to the Taos, N. M.,, art colony.

Albert Barnes Anderson, Federal Court judge here and at Chicago 27 years, who died yesterday at St.

Vincent's Hospital, is to be buried at Oak Hill Cemetery, Crawfordsville, following funeral services at 1:30 p. m. Saturday at Flanner & Buchanan Mortuary.

Judge Anderson, who was 81, had ’

been a patient at the hospital since April 10. He was stricken while at his home at Winter Park, Fla. His wife, Mrs. Rose Anderson, is the only immediate survivor. She accompanied her husband here and has been living at the Marott Hotel. Friends and attorneys today paid tribute to the late jurist. Judge Anderson resigned from the U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals at Chicago in June, ‘1929, after four years’ service, concluding a brilliant career as Federal jurist. Previously he had served as U. S. District Court judge here 23 years by appointment of President Theodore Roosevelt. He won wide prominence through presiding in the Los Angeles Times bombing case, Terre Haute election fraud trial, the na-tion-wide coal strike litigation of 1919 and former Governor Warren T. McCray’s fraud trial. Judge Anderson's resignation from the Chicago bench when he was 72 was accepted by former President Herbert Hoover, who praised his long and colorful career. Department of Justice officials joined jn, the tribute, naming Judge Anderson one of the most capable jurists in the Federal service. He was eligible for retirement .at full pay two years before he submitted - his resignation, but con-

tinued until. his health forced Am Ao-retice. -

‘| County, Feb. 10, 1857, Judge Ander-

son was the son of Philander -and Emma A. Anderson. He received his bachelor of arts degree from Wabash College in 1879 and later was awarded master of arts and doctor of laws degrees by the same institution. He was admitted to the bar in Crawfordsville in 1881, and continused to practice in that city until he was appointed to the Federal District Court bench in 1902 by President Theodore Roosevelt. In 1882 he was married to Miss Rose Campbell of Crawfordsville. Serving as Montgomery County prosecutor from 1886 to 1890, he led a vigorous campaign to “clean up” county affairs. While Federal Court judge here, Mr. Anderson established a reputation for promptly clearing criminal and civil dockets. He was opposed to long legal delays. Although appointed to the Indianapolis bench by President Roosevelt, he incurred the executive’s disapproval when he held that Mr. Roosevelt's libel suit against a newspaper was to be tried here instead of in the District of Columbia, where the suit originated.

Snubbed By President

Mr. Roosevelt refused to greet Judge Anderson at a reception for the President at the Columbia Club following the decision. Public interest rested upon Judge Anderson when he presided in the McNamara case, which involved dynamiting of the Los Angeles Times Building and other structures in which the steel work had been erected by nonunion workers.

Historian Claims Proof of Guilt in State Land Sales; Two Books Financed Here Reshape Antislavery Story

Federal records to be published on Indiana public land sales soon “practically will prove the guilt” of some persons who then held high office, Dr. Clarence Carter, who edited them, said today. Dr. Carter, hey of the Mississippi Valley Historical Association which today began its 31st annual convention here, said the papers will show that the Hoosier pllitical urge began even before Indiana was a state, but was fighting in Congress to remain a part of Illinois. He would not name the high officials whom the papers would involve, but said any student of them will be able to identify the men. Sessions of the convention this

the value of recent Federal research projects into historical source material. The afternoon sessions were to deal with the Civil'War and the Northwest Territory. The papers on the Civil War connected with opinions of many historians that two = Indianapolis-

will make it necessary for the entire history of the antislavery movement to be rewritten.

Bradshaw Charges Decline In Juvenile Court; Snethen Urges Youth Work.

A Criminal Court judge not only should be above reproach himself but' should insist upon impeccable conduct by his attaches, James E. Deery, attorney, said today in a speech urging nomination of Dewey E. Myers, Democrat, for the Criminal Court bench. Mr. Deery spoke before a group of Mr. Myers’ supporters at the Myers - for - Criminal Judge Club headquarters. Other Democratic political developments include: 1. Marion County has had the misfortune - of seeing its Juvenile Court go downhill through neglect, Municipal Court Judge Wilfred Bradshaw, candidate for the Juvenile Court bench, declared today. 2. Edward O. Snethen, Mayoralty candidate, urged co-operation of City officials in teaching safety, health’ and good government to children. 3. The record of Judge Frank P. Baker, Criminal Court, Judge, was praised

Mr. Deery said Mr. Myers, during his four years as Judge of Municipal Court 3, appointed attaches whose records and reputations were beyond reproach. “Dewey Myers now is a candidate for the Criminal Court nomination, one of the most important in the county, and I say to you that it is important that you examine not only his record but that of his associates,” Mr. Deery said. “The character of a court can he above reproach only so long as the Judge demonstrates that he not capable and sincere, but that he insists upon impeccable conduct on the part of his attaches. “A Judge may be fooled in an isolated case and suffer from misjudgment of someone he has trusted. But if he is striving for the highest type of public service, he won't he fooled more than once. “The overwheming victory given by members of the Indianapolis Bar Association in their poll of preferences for candidates in the primary reveals the: high regard in which Mr. Myers is held among the members of his profession.” Judge Bradshaw said J.

At Jordan Hall, John D. Barne hart, Louisiana State University, said that the South contributed to the Northwest a large number of its early settlers and the ways of life which they carried with them; the ideal of a white man’s civilization, because most of the upland South immigrants did not believe in slavery, and a church so divided that there was no “undue clerical influence.”

“I believe firmly in well-paid, sat-

If we are going to have industrial peace this is absolutely essential. “There are several things which are necessary if we expect to continue the fine relationship now existing between industry and labor.

“Some of these purchases were made for speculative purposes, some for squatters on the frontier interest terms of 40 to 75 per cent; some by those who hoped to set up great baronial estates,” he said. “The growing intersectional bitterness after 1854 seemed to encourage southern investments in the north and as late as 1858, 1859, and 1860, individual investments of $20,000 or more were being made in Iowa, Wisconsin, Nebraska and Kansas.”

The books which the historians say will cause the anti-slavery history to be rewritten, were published by the Albert J. Beveridge Fund of the American Historical Society. They were the “Weld-Grimke Letters,” gathered by Prof. Dumond and Hubert H. Barnes, and a monograph on “The Anti-Slavery Im-

Tstate Congressional Races Hold Chief Interest of Both Parties.

By United Press Hundreds of candidates in Indi-

ana’s Tuesday's primary election entered the home stretch of their campaigns today amid a welter of

local issues from which Republicans expect to revitalize the party for the 1940 election and Democrats hope to retain their present superiority. Almost all political leaders will be watching the vote in the Congressional contests to ascertain if the business recession, the Government Reorganization Bill and the new Federal program will produce any marked swing from the present political lineup. Rep. William Schulte of the First District (Lake County) has been a stanch Roosevelt supporter. He has two opponents, Russell Conlin, a Gary musician, and John Murphy of Hammond, his fellow townsman. _ Unite - on Hammond Lawyer

First District Republicans have united on . M. Elliott Belshaw, a young Hammond lawyer who ran a good but unsuccessful race for the

position. Indiana’s lone Republican Congressman, Charles Halleck of Renssalaer, is unopposed in the Second District, rmally Republican. Seeking the Democratic nomination are Homer Stonebraker, head of the State Excise Police and former famous Wabash College basketball star, and Arvid Johnson of Hamlet. Mr. Stonebraker is reported to have the backing of the State Administration.

The Third District is wide open on hoth sides since Rep. Samuel Pettingill is not a candidate for reelection. George N. Beamer, St. Joseph County Prosecutor, is reported to have Administration backing for the Democratic nomination over J. Harry Browning of Elkhart, Earl R. Dunning of Michigan City and James A. Bell of Elkhart.

A three-way battle is on for the Republican nomination between Robert A. Grant, member of the St. Joseph County Liquor Board; Herman W. Voges of Elkhart and Harry Taylor of South Bend. Rep. James I. Farley is unopposed in the Fourth District while George W. Gillie of Ft. Wayne, former Allen County Sheriff, and Fred W. Greene of Ft. Wayne are after the Republican nomination. Rep. Glenn Griswold of Peru has one opponent in the Fifth District, Marvin D., Myers of Michigantown, but the real fight is on among the Republicans. Richard T. James of Portland, in 1936 again is a candidate. He is generally considered to be allied with former U. S. Senator James E. Watson. Forest A. Harness of Kokomo, who was one of the Federal prosecutors of Samuel Insull, is a candidate, reportedly with the backing of Glenn

Hillis, Kokomo political and finan- |

cial leader. The third Republican (Turn to Page Three)

of Butler University and now of the University of Illinois, said that the books also showed that it was a mistake to think that churches were ardent supporters of the antislavery movement. “It was rather the ' evangelistic and missionary elements in the

church which fostered antislavery,|

not the churches ¢ as a whole,” he said.

The letters of the Grimke sisters, who were natives of South Carolina,

but who later settled in Pennsylvania and Ohio, revealed that the evangelistic activities of Charles G. Finney, who later became president of Oberlin College, had much to do with the movement. “It now seems that Garrison was only an opportunist, and that at the time he organized his antislavery movement upon his return from England, other men were about to do the same thing and that they would have done it more soundly,” Prof. Randall said.

BROAD 3D PARTY BASIS FORESEEN

La Follette to Outline ‘Abundance’ Policy at Mass Meeting.

By THOMAS L. STOKES Times Special Writer MADISON, Wis, April 28—A comprehensive economic and social program for the nation, founded on the theory of abundance in contrast to the New Deal's controlled reduction of production, will be proposed tonight by Governor La Follette of Wisconsin as the basis of a third-party political movement. The 41-year-old Governor hss worked out a detailed formula, which calls in essence for direct Government attack at the roots of present economic disorders rather than further regulation of the existing structure. He will present his case in an hour-and-15-minute address to several thousand supporters from this politically insurgent belt in the Central Northwest, plus representatives from more distant states, including New York.

WASHINGTON, April 28 (U. P.).—Senator Robert H. La Follette (Prog. Wis.) today charged that President Roosevelt 10 years ago enunciated principles in direct conflict with his request for a billiondollar naval expansion pro- © gram. His criticism of the President came in a speech bitterly denouncing big armament expenditures “in time of economic crisis.”

- In devising his program, the Governor in co-operation with his brother, Senator La Follette (Prog. Wis.) has consulted experts in every economic and social field and representatives of every political school, the range including prominent financiers and capitalists. He has supplemented this expert advice with conferences and correspondence in recent weeks with plain people of every walk of life. It can be forecast, as the result of a talk with the Governor, that his program is destined *o arouse nation-wide interest. It is calculated to appeal not only to independent political groups which have become allied with him—including various units here in Wisconsin, the Farmer-Labor Party in Minnesota, and such other organizations . as the American Labor Party in New York state—but also to businessmen and ‘industrialists. As they say along Main Street, the youngest of the La Follettes is “going to town” tonight. Along with announcement of a new independent political movement and the program upon which it is to be based, “Governor Phil” is expected to reveal his plans to seek a fourth term as Governor—as a means of continuing control in Wis-

BOY’S DEATH IS LAID TO RABID PET DOG

Cecil E. Hughes Jr., 15, of 1250 Lee St., was dead today of a brain inflammation which City Hospital attaches said resulted from contact with a rabid dog. The dog was given to the boy as a Christmas present by his father, Cecil Hughes Sr. The boy became ill Monday and was taken to the hospital. He died yesterday. Investiga-

tion disclosed the animal was suffer-

ing from rabies, police said. Cecil would have graduated this June from School 46: He had attended Woodworth Etter Tabernacle. Funeral services are to be held at 8:30 a. m., Saturday, at the Farley Funeral Home. Burial is to be at Oakland City. Survivors besides the father are two sisters, Larota and Vernia Hughes.

ment in an interview when he

was asked about general con-

ditions.

“There’s a lot of people who are half asleep,” he said. “They are looking for a leader and they have one who is putting something over on them—and they deserve it. People ought to be their own leaders.” Following his luncheon with President Roosevelt yesterday, Mr, Ford previously had expressed bes lief that there is too much Government interference with business and too much financial interference with Government. “Did you come away from the conference with President Roose= velt assured that conditions will be

| better?” Mr. Ford was asked.

“Conditions are going to be dife ferent,” he said. “Do you mean better?” “Better?” Mr. Ford replied. ‘‘Certainly. Conditions will always change. People have go to wake up and go to work. We are getting near civilization.” Silent on Third Term Asked whether he favored a third term for President Roosevelt or whether he favored the general practice of a third term, Mr. Ford replied, about that.” Mr. Ford characterized “security” as a “delusion.” “The only security,” he said, “is in knowledge and ambition.” Earlier Mr. Ford said there was too much Government in Business. He did not say whether he told these things to President Roosevelt. He said only that the luncheon had been a social success.

He expounded his theories on pole

itics and economics in a press con= ference on the train out of Wash= ington. He spoke of the two-hour conference with Mr. Roosevelt in clipped sentences. “Everything was very pleasant. . .. It was the first time I had seen the President since he was Assistant Sceretary of the Navy nearly 20 years ago. . . . I never had any falling out with him that I know of (replying to a question as to whether he and the President h d ‘made up’)... «1 said before’ I* went to Washington that I wasn't going to give him any advice erismerit ane other question.)” Informally, members of Mr. Ford's party said that he and Mr. Roose= velt had chatted pleasantly in the manner of two men sitting at a wayside inn, but had seemed to agree thoroughly on only one topic —that the Government should not interfere with business.

No Roosevelt-Ford

Agreement Seen

WASHINGTON, April 28 (U. P). —President Roosevelt moved fore ward his recovery drive today in the face of plain implications that he and Henry Ford are as far apart as ever in economic doctrine. The White House preserved strict silence on the meeting of Mr. Ford and the Chief Executive and indicated that Mr. Rooseveif, himself,

will have no public comment on the .

meeting. There was no indication from White House or other Administration sources that discussion between: Mr. Ford and the President, over the luncheon table and in the White ‘House Lincoln study, had produced any meeting of minds on the recovery spending-lending prae gram or other New Deal economic and governmental questions. On the contrary, Detroit news. papermen declared after talking with the motor magnate that he adhered firmly to his often expressed economic views—views in direct conflict with the bulk of New Deal policy.
