(Continued from Page One)
Federal Bureau of Investigation head declared juvenile delinquency should be called “public delinquency.’ . : “Marion County has the good fortune to have a Juvenile Court to handle these cases so important to society,” Judge Bradshaw said. “It is unfortunate, however, in having seen this court go down hill through neglect. “It is of vital importance that the voters study the qualifications of the candidates before voting Tuesday. I am proud,” he said, “that I have been indorsed by the Juvenile Court Committee and the Indianapolis Bar Association, and I intend to live up to the confidence that has been shown in me.” Judge Bradshaw said he agreed with Mr, Hoover that behind almost every case of a youthful law violator there has been a failure either on the part of society or of parenthood to do its duty. Judge Bradshaw spoke at 1005 S. Warman Ave. 2224 Thornberry St. and 4713 W. 13th St.
Snethen Explains Stand
In a statement to his workers at a meeting in the Circle Tower last night Mr. Snethen explained his plan of having City government officials co-operate with school executives in the teaching of safety,
health and good government. The Accident Prevention Department, the Health Board and the City Recreation Department could provide speakers and show motion pictures at the schools, he said. School playgrounds should be kept open during the summer, Mr. Snethen declared, for children who do not live close to any park. He said “junior cities” should be organized at playgrounds and parks, with the children electing officers and studying municipal government through the operation of these little model cities. “This would be a delightful and practical way of teaching civics to our children,” he said. So
Jacobs Decries ‘Machine’
Andrew Jacobs, candidate for Prosecutor, called upon “machine candidates to break their persistent silence,” in a talk at 2004 S. Meridian St. last night. “The ministers of the city several weeks ago called upon the Governor for assistance in a fight against gambling,” he said. “This was not an idle gesture. These men do not wish anything from politics execpt protection from criminals and especially syndicates, of which there are plenty. “Their response was that talk of gambling was political propaganda. At that time I publicly offered to furnish the Governor with plenty of evidence of gambling. I received silence as my response. “Again this week the ministers have sought aid from the State. And : again silence is the response they “receive for their civic efforts. “We have silence to the left, silence to the. right, silence in front "of us, but behind we have ‘whispers in the dark’ : “My opponent is afflicted with silence. . “Now the Parent-Teacher Associations ask for help. Those people are close to little children and they love the little ones. Where is the heart of our public officials?”
Schlosser Talks for Ray
Nomination of Sheriff Ray as Mayor was urged by Chalmer Schlosser, candidate for judge of Superior Court 3, in a talk at a Democratic open air meeting at 1900 S. Meridian St. last night. He also attacked “mdchine rule” as the cause of many eXisting evils in city government. Sheriff Ray also spoke at the meeting, urging nomination of Mrs. Myrtle Buehl for Center Township Trustee. Robert Elder, candidate for Recorder, predicted an “early winter? for candidates of the regular organization, in a talk at the same meeting. “Some of those machine candidates are going to find it necessary to go south for their health right after the primary,” he said. ~ Mr. Elder promised an efficient administration and urged nomination of candidates backed by Machine Busters, Inc.

for-Criminal-Judge-Clubmee ting, Mr. McElfresh said: “The Criminal Court of Marion County is the most important governmental agency in the fight against crime and lawlessness in this community. “Its effectiveness depends entirely upon the caliber of the man who is selected to be its judge. The best proof of the effectiveness of any man in public office is the result of his official conduct. “Frank P. Baker became judge of the Criminal Court in January, 1931, and has: served as such seven full years. In the four years im-. mediately prior to his taking office there had been reported to the Police Department stolen property aggregating $7,213,041.94, or an average of $1,803,260.48 per year. “In the next seven years under Judge Baker there has been reported stolen property aggregating $6,276,563.45, or an average of $896,651.92. Thus Judge Baker's administration has resulted in a direct savings to the citizens of $906,608.56 per year.” -
D. H. R. Club to Dance
The D. H. R. Club is to have its biennial frolic and dance tomorrow night at Municipal Gardens, with all Democratic candidates invited. Special transportation has been arranged with busses leaving the Circle at 7:45 and 8:20 p. m. The committee in charge includes Russell Battreall, general chairman; Fred Lutz, co-chairman; Fred Eisenhut, ward chairman, and Mary F. Schackelford, vice chairman. All Sixth Ward committeemen and vice committeemen will be hosts and hostesses. Several hundred persons attended a idance last night at the Starlite Ballroom in honor of Orville P. Bray, candidate for Sheriff. Several other candidates attended.
City Employees’ Union Takes Neutral Stand
A neutral stand in the mayoralty race is being taken by the 300 or more city employees who are members of Local 32, State, County and Municipal Workers of America, it was announced today by Donald Zinn, Indiana representative of the union. : Mr. Zinn said he issued the statement to correct an impression that the union, which is affiliated with the C. I. O., is “calling for the defeat of Reginald H. Sullivan in the coming primary.” “Our union,” he said, “is solidly behind the program of Labor’s Nonpartisan League. We feel that this program, if carried out, would be of great benefit to the people as a whole, assuring the greater participation of the people in their government, assuring industrial peace and providing ample care for the needy, as well as contributing to the welfare of the people generally. “However, newspapers recently carried the story that Labor's Nonpartisan League of Marion County had adopted a decision to defeat Reginald H. Sullivan in the coming mayoralty race. “Because Labor’s Nonpartisan League is the C. I. O. political organization, many people came under the impression that our union also was calling for the defeat of Mr. Sullivan. This is not true. Our union has adopted the decision to support no one candidate in the race. “We are taking an absolutely nonpartisan stand. Our decision on the question of indorsing and supporting individual candidates is that each member of our union shall decide for himself what candidate or candidates he wishes to support. “No matter what candidate is elected, we shall protect the jobs of each and every one of our members, but we are supporting no one and condemning no one in the race. “We are solidly behind the program and principles of Labor's Nonpartisan League, and of the C. I. O,, but in this one instance we must reserve the right to make our own decision.”
W. C. T. U. Backs Local Option Supporters
Candidates who will favor local option in liquor regulation are to be supported in the primary election by the Marion County W. C. T. U. At a meeting of the group yesterday, a resolution was adopted urging women voters “to heip elect lawabiding citizens who will enforce the law and favor local option.” °’ Another resolution endorsed the Indianapolis Methodist Ministers’
Association’s stand against “vice and lawlessness” in Indiana.

spent on numerous useless projects. 1 condemn the policy of the New Deal for the wasting of large sums of money in the employment of men to do useless tasks. “Indianapolis is in sad need of flood control projects and track elevation. A well-defined program covering these needs would add to the permanent value and investment of our community. The encouragement of such projects would result in the employment of a large number of skilled craftsmen and other employees at the prevailing wage scales. This would definitely add
to the general business upturn of the
community and the buying power of its citizens. There is also a need for the erection of public buildings for civic use in Indianapolis. Such buildings would add lasting permanent values to our community. Aid for Contractors “Our city not only has capable, conservative labor leaders, it also has some of the most outstanding contractors in the nation. These contractors pay substantial taxes in the City of Indianapolis and employ Indianapolis labor. Under the New Deal policy these contradtors have been deprived of an opportunity to engage in their usual line of business and to employ highly skilled craftsmen of this city. This should not be. I favor, wherever possible, the employment of Indianapolis contractors and Indianapolis craftsmen and employees at the prevailing wage scale. Suggests Labor Board
“Should it be the desire of labor and industry that a. joint conciliation board for the adjustment of labor problems be established, I shall call together representatives
from both groups so that they may formulate a plan that is mutually agreeable. I will then offer and give assistance to make such a plan a success.
“I shall do everything in my power to further the harmony existing between labor and industry. While I favor arbitration that is beneficial to both employee and employer I pledge that my. office will never be used to force upon labor any unwelcome settlement of its disputes.
“I shall promote the construction of projects of definite civic value to our community and I shall use my office to effect the construction of such projects by Indianapolis contractors using Indianapolis Ilabor.” If the present moral and ethical letdown remains unchecked, it promises ill for the future of our race, Mr. Remy said in a series of addresses last night. “The Juvenile Court's mission is the salvage and protection of humanity, as other courts safeguard and protect property,” he said. “As you read your daily papers. you cannot fail to be appalled at the amount of the violent crime committed by our young people. “I do not claim to have the answer to this major problem of our community, but I have made a study of youthful offenders ever since 1923, and I should like to devote a few years of my life toward putting the information and experi-
ence thus gained to a practical pur-.
pose for the benefit of the whole community.
Stands for Tax Cut “I cannot promise any miracles of achievement, but I believe thai a scientifically organized Juvenile
Court, with its assistants chosen on
the merit rather than the political basis, would show surprising results within a short time.” Mr. Remy has been indorsed by the nonpartisan Juvenile Court Committee in the Republican pri-
-| mary. Judge Wilfred Bradshaw, of
Municipal Court, Room 3, has been indorsed by the committee in the Democratic primary. An immediate cut in the tax rate is the “crying need of the times,” Mr. Teckemeyer said in a statement issued today at his headquarters, 130 N. Delaware St. “It will aid business 'recovery,” he said. “It will lessen the load on individuals and will make it impossible for us to continue the practice of making ‘bums’ out of able bodied men as our handout policies have been doing. We must soon begin to operate our City as a busi-

ness and cease operating a ‘rescue mission.’ “Therefore, our first and foremost plank is: : 1. Immediate reduction in taxes 2. Vigorous effort to obtain proper form of City Manager plan of government as quickly as possible. 3. Completion of the track elevation without further side-stepping or hedging. This is of prime importance. . 4. Law enforcement against dives and violators. 5. Adoption of laws to abate the smoke nuisance. “After our ticket is nominated the job is but half completed. The next thought is, can we elect the ticket we have chosen? Can we ‘sell’ our nominees to the common man in the fall campaign? We can if they are of the right type. “Men whose support has been such that there is even the slightest suspicion that they may not be able to carry out campaign pledges will be difficult to elect in the fall. That is what we must guard against. “Urge the voters to think before they act—select their candidates before going to vote and shun the efforts of workers to influence their vote. This is an open primary—let us make it that in the fullest sense of the word.”
Pledges Tavern Law Support
“Not only will I halt the sale in taverns of liquor to children, but I will also see that the law is enforced in regard to young girls acting as barmaids, or waitresses or entertainers in taverns,” Mr. Henry said. “There are tavern keepers in Indianapolis who are paying no attention to this law as well as other laws governing the regulation of taverns. “I am reliably informed that nightly, in many taverns in this city, minors, both girls and boys, congregate, drink and, in many instances, become i¥oxicated. This is a deplorable state of affairs, and one that will cease if I am suecessful in my race for Mayor. “This sale of liquor to minors is not only increasing the crimes among youths, but is daily adding to the hazards of traffic, both in the city and outside Indianapolis. “If I become Mayor of Indianapolis, the tavern keepers who persist in disregarding laws and regulations governing their establishments, will learn that Indianapolis has a police force, and by the same token, the police force will learn that it is its duty to arrest tavern keepers selling intoxicants to minors, using minors as bartenders, drink mixers or waitresses, or permitting minors to congregate and loaf on their premises.” Mr. Henry is to speak tomorrow night at the Odd Fellows Hall, Olive and Cottage Sts. ’ All war veterans and 17th Ward voters are invited to attend, Ancil Morton, 17th Ward Republican War Veterans chairman, said. Support of Edwin Haerle for Prosecutor was urged by Carl Vandivier, attorney, in an address before the McKinley Club, 2217 E. Michigan St., last night. Mr. Vandivier said Mr. Haerle is able and experienced in trial practice and qualified in every respect to be Prosecutor. > It was announced that John M. Caylor, candidate for Judge of Superior Court 1 will be unable to attend any campaign meetings until after the funeral for his grandmother, who died at his home.
Deplores Party Strife Subscribing to. the policy of “a fair primary,” Mr. Richardson at a meeting of party workers at 5709 | W. Morris St. last night declared:
“Too much is at stake both for the party workers and the public as a whole to permit the mistakes of former years to lay groundwork for defeat. I have said before that personal ambitions and party strife should be put aside. “With a united party, represented by the best from our available candidates, we can start the tide toward return to power.” : He said the Republican Party to be consistent could not attack dictatorship trends at home and abroad and permit “dictation of local politics in any ward or precinct of Marion County.” “Republicans do not believe in that sort of thing either on a large or small scale. Those who practice it are neither well advised in the way to win an election victory or truly to represent the principles of the Republican Party. It has cost us defeat in the past and is the mistake now talked about in the New Deal,” he added. Plans for a state-wide member-
ers of Indiana, Inc., were announced today by William J. Heim, Warren Township, president of the group and candidate for State Represeniative. Key men already have been selected in many counties, it was

Former Federal Judge Dies At 81 Following Long Siege in Hospital.

hundred persons were killed in the bombings. ere were 744 witnesses at this trial’ which lasted from Oct. 1 to Dec. 26, 1911. Thirty-eight members of the International Association of Bridge, Structural & Iron
Workers were convicted of conspir- |
acy and violation of the Federal law prohibiting transportation of explosives. Union headquarters at that, time were in Indianapolis and a quantity of dynamite had been found in a downtown building here. The Terre Haute election fraud case involving Mayor Donn M. Roberts and 100 other persons was tried here by Judge Anderson in 1915. The bituminous coal strike litigation was heard in 1919. He issued an injunction against officials of the United Mine Workers of America, enjoining them from prosecuting the strike, and later issued an order directing them’ to rescind the strike action. John L. Lewis, mine union president, won over an element in the union which favored defying the court order and the strike was called off and later settled through negotiations. Judge Anderson earned the reputation of giving prompt trials to liquor law violators during the prohibition era and often criticized City and County officials for laxity in enforcing dry laws. Urging prosecution of “men higher up” in liquor rings, he was instrumental in pressing charges against many officials, including nearly all members of the Gary City Government, Former President Coolidge appointed him to the U. 8. Circuit Court of Appeals at Chicago. He was a member of the Republican.Party.
Rested in Florida
Since his retirement, Jufige and Mrs. Anderson spent most of their time at their Florida winter home and at their summer place at Burt Lake in Michigan. It was their custom to spend a month with Indianapolis friends while traveling between their two homes. Pleasant contacts with Judge Anderson were recalled by his friends today as they paid him tribute. “Judge Anderson's photographic mind was demonstrated in the 1911 dynamiting trial,” said James W. Noel, Indianapolis attorney who represented the U.S. Attorney General in the prosecution. “He absorbed the evidence of about 700 withesses remarkably. “Law violators trembled before him; although Judge Anderson never imposed long sentences. Philosophy and history were of particular interest to him and in these fields he read constantly.” Career Called Brilliant ALBERT C. SOGEMEIER, U. S. District Court Clerk, who served as chief deputy clerk during Judge Anderson’s service, described his career as “brilliant.” Other comments were: ALBERT B. RABB, attorney: Judge Anderson was a kindly man
and his severity was brought to|
bear only on those defendants who he thought were trying to put
something over on him or on those |
attorneys he thought were lazy, unprepared or too garrulous. JUDGE BALTZELL: Ihad charge of the World War draft and came into contact with the judge ih the prosecution of several cases which arose then. He was an outstanding judge in this country. His influence on the enforcement of law in
Indiana was felt many years after | ;
his term on the bench here. - He was a brilliant man, a distinguished lawyer and a judge of rare ability. ALEXANDER G. CAVINS, former assistant U. S. District Attorney and later acting District Attorney: I cannot speak tao highly of Judge Anderson, He was a manysided man, with a delicious wit and keen, ironic tongue. I have seen him keep a whole courtroom laughing many times. And again I have seen him administer stinging rebukes. THOMAS D. STEVENSON, Indiana’ Bar _ Association president:
“There never has been his superior |:
on a district bench. The legal profession suffered a severe loss when he retired from the Circuit bench and. a greater one with his death. None who knew him had anything but respect and admiration for his remarkable qualities.”

Petition May Be Started; AF.L.-NLRB War Looms

Wagner Act By HERBERT LITTLE
Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, April 28.—Des-
‘perate behind-the-scenes maneu-
vers were afoot today in the fight over the Norton Wage-Hour Bill, as a rank-and-file demand for the measure threatened the House leadership on two fronts. Word was received that Rep.
‘John O'Connor (D. N. Y.), House
Rules Committee chairman, would
be opposed for re-election by Mrs. Elinore Herrick, a leader in the American Labor Party, if his Committee bottled up the bill again as it did last year. Mrs. Herrick is New York Regional Director for the National Labor Relations Board. She would have to resign that post to make the race. : Rep. O'Connor has said he is for the bill, but a hostile majority is reported to dominate the 14-Man Committee. Meanwhile both C. I. O. and A. F. of 1. came out for the use of a discharge petition, requiring signatures of 218 House members, to bring the bill up for a House vote if the Rules Committee acts adversely.
Mrs. Norton Changes Mind
Chairman Mary T. Norton (D. N. J). of the House Labor Committee, sponsor of the bill, today reversed her stand against a discharge petition and said she would favor one if defeated by the Rules Committee. Three doubtful members of. the Rules Committee are the key men in the fight. One is a Democrat, Martin Dies of Texas, and two are Republicans, Carl E. Mapes of Michigan and Donald H. McLean of New Jersey. Four Southern Democrats and one Republican, J. Will Taylor of Tennessee, are definitely against the bill. Five other Democrats, including Arthur Greenwood of Indiana, and one Republican, Joseph W. Martin Jr. of Massachusetts, are for permitting a House vote on it. The bill must get at least two of the three doubtful votes if it is to clear the committee hurdle. The House Democratic leadership, including Rep. O'Connor, has consistently opposed use of the discharge petition, but it now appears that there is a good chance of overriding them if the Rules Committee acts adversely. :
Indiana’s Share in PWA Fund Small
WASHINGTON, April 28 (U. P.). ~Rep. John Taber (R. N. Y.), hitter critic of New Deal policies, said today that there would be wide disparity between states in per capita Federal spending under President Roosevelt's $4,512,000,000 recovery program. As ra g minority member of the : Hoise Appropriations Deficiency Subcommittee which is drafting the necessary legislation for the program, Rep. Taber issued a compilation claiming that the disparity in public works spending would range from 75 cents per person in Arkansas to $32 in Louisiana. He said Indiana’s share would be $620 per capita compared with $4 in Kentucky, $14 in Illinois, $4.75 in Ohio, $7 in Michigan and $31

Threatens .
To Force Action
WASHINGTON, April 28 (U. P.). — The American Federation of Labor’s latest attack on the National Labor Relations Board led to reports today that the federation’s executive council may demand removal of all three Board members. A. F. of L. President William Green again accused the Board of favoring John L. Lewis’ Committee for Industrial Organization and complained of recent NLRB decisions. At a press conference last night he was asked whether there was any sentiment on the council, meeting here for its annual spring session, for repeal of the Wagner Labor Relations Act or removal of the present members of the Board. “There is no sentiment for repeal of the Wagner act,” he replied. “We believe the act is sound, if administered properly. “But I can state definitely that we feel the Wagner act has been very badly administered by the Board.” The present members of the Board are Chairman J. Warren Madden, Edwin S. Smith and Donald W. Smith.
VanNuys Sees
Party Lines Breaking
WASHINGTON, April 28 (U. P.. —Senator VanNuys (D. Ind.) believes the New Deal relief system is causing a breakdown of the morale of the people m many places. He said last night in a speech it was a fundamental problem which the country must meet, because relief is creating a generation of people who are relying on the Government for support.
“Men in some places are giving up other jobs to go on relief because the hours are easy and conditions are relatively good for them there. Farmers in Indiana in some places find it hard to get help because men would rather stay on relief.” Senator VanNuys spoke at the annual banquet of the Earlham College Club of Washington. Senator VanNuys said he saw party lines breaking down widely over the United States as voters begin to cast their ballots strictly on the merits of men and the public
