JACKSON BOOMED IN N. Y. TO STRENGTHEN NEW DEAL

LEHMAN LIKELY CANDIDATE FOR

La Guardia Also Also Factor in | State; Roosevelt to Take Active Role.

By THOMAS L. STOKES

Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, June 20.—Ardent

New Dealers see a chance for Solicitor General Robert H. Jackson— their 1940 favorite if President Roosevelt doesn’t seek a third term | —to capitalize upon the new political situation in New York caused | by the death of Senator Copeland. They are again discussing the | plan, first advanced a few months ago, of entering Mr. Jackson in the | race for Governor of New York—as | a prelude to the Presidential test | in '40. As they see it, the way has been | cleared to bring the Solicitor General back into the picture since it is being assumed that Governor Lehman will seek the Senatorial seat left vacant by Senator Copeland's death, rather than run for a | fourth term as Governor. In recent weeks Governor Lehman had been discussed as a candidate for a fourth term, largely because of the conflicting ambitions of other aspirants, but his friends had represented him as preferring the Senate. A switch whereby he | would seek the Senatorial seat now occupied by Robert F. Wagner, whose term is expiring, and Senatm™ Wagner would run for Governor, | had been put forward, but with no | encouragement from the Senator.

Two Senate Seats Open

Senator Copeland's death leaves | the way open for both to run for | the Senate, since two seats are to be filled. President Roosevelt would like to | make his own state a New Deal bul- | wark. The opportunity now is at | hand. Senator Copeland had broken | with the Administration many | months ago, and had been identified with the anti-New Deal element in the Senate. The Administration would have liked to eliminate him | in 1934, but found him too strongly | entrenched. Governor Lehman openly

chal-

lenged the President on the Supreme | Mr. Brann indicated by earlier state- | Court “packing” bill in a letter iq ments that he will wage his fight |

Senator Wagner which was give part of the credit for the defeat of that measure. But he has a record of social reform, has generally been | sympathetic with New Deal objectives, and there is evidence that the breach between the Governor and the President is on the way to clos- | ing. Governor Lehman is popular in New York, and it was in recognition | of this that Mr. Roosevelt drafted him to run in 1936 for a third term, to bolster his own chances of carrying New York. The Governor's plurality exceeded the President's.

La Guardia Also Favored |

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn, June 20 (U., P.).—A record primary vote appeared probable today as Minnesotans went to the polls to select three party tickets for the November election. Principally because of a tumul-

in the Farmer- | Labor gubernatorial race, it was be-

| lieved the vote might pass the

| record mark of about 713,000 ballots cast in the primary of 1934. It was estimated that half the | total vote would be cast in the Farmer-Labor column, where attention focused upon the bitter

| struggle between Governor Benson,

seeking re-election, and Hjalmer Petersen, candidate of more conservative party members.

Supporting belief that the Farm- | er-Labor total would be unusually |

high was evidence that many Republicans and Democrats planned to vote the Farmer-Labor ticket Petersen in the hope of defeating Mr. Benson, Should the Governor be renominated, they had slight hope that he could be defeated at the general election.

Barrows Favored in

‘Maine Primary

PORTLAND, Me. June 20 (U.P). —Maine went to the polls today to vote in the primaries on two partisan tickets and to set the stage in this “barometer stage” for an election on Sept. 12 on the issue of the New Deal. Republican Governor Barrows was expected to score an easy victory and renomination over state Senator Fernald of Winterport. Former Governor Brann, the state's New

| Deal spokesman and leader, is unopposed for the Democratic guber- |

natorial nomination. Mr. Barrows carriea the indorsement of the Re- | publican State Convention.

The primary campaign has been |

{ waged strictly along state lines, but |

for election on the claim that this traditionally Republican state needs | a Governor friendly Deal.

By WALKER STONE

Times Special Writer OKLAHOMA CITY, June 20.—If President Roosevelt comes into Oklahoma before the primary election July 12—and he has announced his intention to do so—he will need to put on asbestos gloves before laying hands on the political situation. That the Oklahoma Democrats’

family fight is considered too hot for casual White House handling was demonstrated when the President's son and secretary, Jimmy Roosevelt, cancelled a scheduled visit to the State. Jimmy had agreed to speak at the dedication of a Federal-building {annex in Muskogee today, and had been expected to say a few kind words for various New Deal candidates. But instead he chose this day to enter the Mayo clinic at Rochester, Minn. | He announced in Washington he | changed his plans on doctors’ ad- | vice. But it is known he received | plenty of concurring advice from friendly Oklahoma politicians who fear the consequences of too much Rooseveltian interest in Oklahoma's party battles.

West Pays Visit

Incidentally, Jimmy's announce- | ment that he would not come .o | Oklahoma was made a few hours | after Charles West, former Under-

| Secretary of the Interior, had paid la hurried and secret visit to this; | city. Mr. West, political “contact man” | for the White House, came in by | plane last Friday, caucused with | state political leaders in a downtown hotel, and caught the next plane to Texas. The two things which Mr. West came to ask were: 1. How the national Administration could help re-elect New Deal | Senator Elmer Thomas, and 2. How it could help prevent the nomination and election of William H. “Alfalfa Bill” Murray, who | has a long lead in the race for| Governor. The advice Mr. West received was that the New Deal must unite its! political forces behind one candi- | date each in the Senatorial and | | gubernatorial races, or risk possible | defeat in the former and certain | | defeat in the latter. Surveys in various parts of the | | state show Senator Thomas running | nip-and-tuck with Gomer Smith, | Oklahoma City’s present Congress- | man, who is locally famous as a | trial lawyer. Mr. Smith is a rip-| roaring campaigner. |

Smith Seeks Senate |

New Deal element a strongly en-| as permanent chairman of the Re-|last year to fill an unexpired term |

trenched position. More left-wing New Dealers would | like to see a Wagner-La Guardia- | Jackson combination, with the present New York Mayor occupying the other Senate seat, but this does not | scem practicable, since New York Democrats would not consent to take the Mayor on their slate, The Wagner - Lehman - Jackson | ticket would draw American Labor | Party support down the line, un-| doubtedly. The party controls half a million votes. “Bob” Jackson has been regarded | as the personal choice of President | Roosevelt as his successor, whether it be in 1940 or 1944. His home is in Western New York, at Jamestown.

i publican State Convention next | week, it was announced today by | State Chairman Arch N. Bobbitt. Mr. Bobbitt also announced ap-

pointment of James M. Knapp, Re- |

is the oldest member of the House in point of service. Mr. Hutcheson headed the Republican National Committee's La- | bor Bureau in the 1932 and 1936! conventions. The State Committee will meet | Wednesday to discuss final details | of the State Convention, scheduled | for June 28 and 29.

Dr. Townsend is coming into the | state to speak against Mr. Smith, | | whom he cails “a traitor.” He will | ask Oklahoma's Townsendites to! vote for Senator Thomas, and ac- | cording to Mr. Thomas, men here | | will pay no attention to Governor | Marland, the third candidate in the | | Senatorial race.

BAKER ORDERS 6. 0. P. BALLOTS INTO CUSTODY

Judge to Start Investigation During Recount; Feeney’s Gain Now 1323.

All Republican ballots cast in the primary election were ordered placed under the custody of Marion | County Criminal Court by Judge | Frank P. Baker today as the recount | of Democratic votes continued to] show wide variances in totals. Judge Baker said he would start | | his investigation of the ballots be- | fore the recount is completed. Previously he had said a Grand Jury investigation would not be started until the recount is completed.

Awaits Probe Fund

“I will have my investigators go through the Republican ballots as soon as an appropriation is made,” Judge Baker said. The County Council is scheduled to meet Thursday to vote on a requested appropriation of $15,000 to be used for hiring a special prosecutor and investigators. In a recount of four more precincts today Al Feeney, defeated for the Democratic sheriff nomination, gained 54 votes, bringing his new recount total for 125 precincts up to 8714, compared with his original Canvassing Board total of 8454. Charley Lutz, Democratic nominee for sheriff, lost 82 votes, bringing his new recount total down to 7526, compared with his original total of 8489 for the 125 precincts.

Ray Makes Protest

In the recount of five more precincts in the Democratic mayoralty race, Reginald Sullivan, the mayor-

his recount total for 121 precincts counted thus far down to 15,775, compared with canvassing board

| for the mayoralty nomination, lost one vote, bringing his recount total for the 121 precincts to 7811, compared with his original total, 7879. Watchers for Sheriff Ray challenged all ballots cast in Precincts 7, 10 and 12 of Ward 10. The recount commissioners overruled the challenge and their protest was reerred to Circuit Court for hearing

pressure from Washington, is re- | ported to be lined up behind Sena{tor Thomas. Last winter Ron Stevens, State WPA director, issued an order for WPA employees to | stay out of politics. Two weeks ago he rescinded his “no politics” order, reportedly on instruction from Au- | brey Williams, right- hand man of Harry Hopkins in Washington.

66,444 in WPA Force

But the Thomas men are not

are getting. They complain the WPA crowd, since being turned loose to play politics, has been devoting too much time to the governorship race, campaigning for Wiliam S. Key, National Guard brigadier general and former state head f WPA. The WPA rolls include 3300 salaried employees and 63,000 wage workers. As was true in the Pennsylvania | primary, and as is apparent in the Barkley-Chandier contest in Kentucky, the Oklahoma fight is featured’ by a conflict between Federal jobholders and state jobhoiders, with rising resentment on the part | of bystanding taxpayers. The pressure is being applied boldly and openly. Neil Addington, head of the State Welfare Board, which distributes doles and surplus foodstuffs to 108,“cases,” ‘publicly served notice on the board's 500 salaried employees to “get out and work for Marland or quit your jobs.”

Yet Gomer Smith, now considered a sure bet for either first or second

| place in the Senate race, is receiv-

ing support from neither of these tax-maintained political machines. He is going his rough-and-tumble way, denouncing both Senator Thomas and Governor Marland. He blames both of them for get- | ting the state's old-age pension set- | up in a snarl which caused the Federal Government temporarily to withdraw financial backing. He promises bigger and better pensions, direct from the Federal Treasury, financed by a gross income tax. He is vague on details, but glowing in promises.

WPA Scale Is Issue

The rambunctibus Mr. Smith also | | has made an issue of the WPA wage scale, which he says is too low. That pleases relief workers, and those! trying to get WPA jobs. So serious | has this issue become that Senator | Thomas put the touch on Washing- | ton and obtained a promise that the | WPA base scale in 46 counties would be boosted from $23.10 to $32 | a month—the same as in Kansas. And finally, Mr. Smith labels both Senator Thomas and Governor Marland as “New Deal rubber stamps.” That pleases the large oil, utility and banking interests, which want nothing S0 much as a |

chance to help give President Roose- took money from three persons |g, to take over 350 miles

velt a political black eye. But Mr. Smith is trying to keep the President's popularity from becoming the dominant issue. i “I have voted for the President the 90 per cent of the time when he has been right,” he shouts, “and | against him the 10 per cent of the time he has been wrong.” So, too, in the governorship race. The colorful “Alfalfa Bill’ is without machine backing. But the band wagon is moving his way.

EXTORTION PLOT

Follows Theft of ¢ of Brief Case With Demand on U. S. Aid, Is Claim.

An alleged extortion plot in which a 24-year-old youth sought $10 for return of a stolen brief case containing Government records was foiled by City detectives, who captured the youth.

The case was one of a dozen crimes investigated by police over the week-end. Police sought a bandit who shot at a motorist after an attempt to rob him, two gypsy women who relieved five victims of money after “blessing” rites, and thieves who stole nearly 60 chickens over the week-end. The brief case was stolen from the auto of L. F. Schenkel, 5119 Maple Lane, U. S. Farm Credit Administration employee, Saturday night while the car was parked on E. Ohio St. Also stolen were clothing, binoculars and a suitcase.

Receives Phone Call

Last midnight, Mr. Schenkel received a phone call in which return of the brief case was promised provided he wrapped a $10 bill in a newspaper and dropped it on the north side of Ohio St. in front of

the Post Office. Mr. Schenkel notified police. While detectives hid behind pillars in front of the Post Office, Mr. Schenkel dropped a newspaper, without the money, at the designated spot. When the youth picked up and opened the newspaper, detectives seized him. He is held on a vagrancy charge under high bond. From the prisoner's hotel room and from pawnshops, detectives reported they recovered the other articles stolen from the car. Raymond Rawitsch, 37, of 716 E. 40th St., told police that when he Stopped his car at 16th St. and the Canal for a traffic signal, a bandit stepped on the running board, broke the window glass with a revolver, and announced: “This is a stickup.” Mr. Rawitsch said he started his car with a jerk, throwing the bandit from the running board. As he fell, the bandit fired one shot, which struck a front fender. Two masked bandits held up a young couple at Church St. and Chapel Road Saturday night and robbed them of jewelry and $6. The victims were Robert Freeland, 21, of 1617 Carrollton Ave. and Mary Lou Edwards, 21, of 421 E. New York St. Sam Friedman, 28, of 531 E. 31st St., told police he was robbed of $135 Saturday night.

Newsboy Held Up

An 11-year-old newsboy reported to police that he was forced to hand over 85 cents collected from his | new spaper route to a Negro boy yesterday afternoon.

The youth, Albert Parmeter, 1402 N. Alabama St. said the Negro “strong armed” him in an apart- { ment at 1603 Central Ave. Two 15-year-oid boys who | escaped from the Columbus, Ind. jail last week, stole a car and robbed a grocery here Saturday night, were held by police today. The youths broke into a store at 728 E. Vermont St. through a rear

door and stole about $15 in merchandise, mostly cigarets. Police sought two women, accompanied by a 2-year-old child, who |

Wed in Death

|| Bridegroom Is Stricken Fatally During Marriage Ceremony.

EW YORK, June 20 (U. P.). —Evelyn Schoenfeld put away her trousseau today and observed her 20th birthday in mourning for her bridegroom, who collapsed and died during their wedding ceremony. Across the street from the home of her parents in suburban Laurelton was the tidy cottage that she and 21-year-old Harold Landy had bought and furnished. In her purse were letters confirming reservations for her honeymoon tour. The long rabbinical wedding service was reaching its climax’ Sunday. Two hundred guests assembled in the Linden Heights Community Center listened to the low chants of the cantor, the prayers of the rabbi and waited for the final moment when each would sip from the single glass of wine. Suddenly Mr. Landy clutched at his breast and sank to the floor. The guests shrieked, several women fainted, and the dark-haired bride-elect stared at the man at her feet. “Harold,” she moaned, what is the matter.” He looked up at her for a moment as though making a last effort to talk. He was buried before sunset yesterday, in accordance with Jewish law, but Evelyn—who was neither bride nor widow—was too weak to take part in the funeral and stayed at home,

DIGUS FEARS CURB

ON ROAD BUILDING

A reduction of 36 per cent in Federal funds to be received by the State Highway Commission during the fiscal years of 1940 and 1941 will curtail Indiana's road construction program unless additional revenues are received from other sources, Chairman T. A. Dicus said today. He predicted that there probably

would be no other sources of State taxation to tap for road building since Indiana “has an average gasoline tax rate.” The chief problem now, he said, is tc prevent further diversion of gasoline tax funds from road building. Federal funds to be received during the fiscal year ending 1940 are divided into three categories. They are: Regular Federal aid, $2,437,000; feeder road program, $365,000; elimination of grade crossings, $508,000, for a total of $3,310,000.

1941 Total $3,930,000

The 1941 total is $3,930,000, including $2,803,000 regular Federal aid; $365,000 feeder roads, and $762,000 grade crossing elimination, During the current fiscal year the State Highway Commission has expended in State and Federal funds a total of $14,242107.81 of which Federal grants were $5,135,728.90. The seriousness of this problem is | increased by the fact that the Legis- | lature has mandated the Commisof city streets which also are the routes of State highways, The Commission took into its system 500 miles last year and 500 miles this year,

AUTOS KILL SIX; 43 FINED HERE

One Traffic Fatality Added To City Toll; Speeders Draw Penalties.

Following a week-end in which six lives were lost in Indiana traffic, one of them in Indianapolis, the largest number of traffic law violators to appear in Municipal Court since the traffic drive started last July was fined a total of $380 today. Forty-three were found guilty this

morning and many others of the 124 arrested over the week-end were to appear this afternoon.

Mrs. Maude Smith, 65, of 1919 N. Illinois St., was fatally injured when struck by a hit-and-run driver as she crossed Illinois St. near her apartment at 9 p. m. Saturday. Police said witnesses reported a man was driving the auto and fled after the crash. Mrs. Jean Warren, 2257 N. Illinois St., who police said declared she was driving, is under arrest on charges of drunkenness, vagrancy and failure to have a driver’s license.

Dies of Injuries

Mrs. Smith died in City Hospital of broken arms and a mangled leg. Her mother, a son and a daughter, all of St. Louis, survive. Thirteen speeders were fined $15 each; four $20 each; one $30 and one $13 and costs; one $12 and another $11. “Parents of youngsters recently out of school should be informed of the seriousness of traffic violations and especially speeding,” Municipal Judge John McNelis said. “A great | number of these boys are under the age of 18 and have just received their first licenses.” Five lives were lost elsewhere in the state, and a 20-year-old local

Raub, Democrat, Council president, charged that Mr, Kealing ‘is only seeking publicity because he is the Republican candi= date for Marion County Sheriff.” Mr. Raub, refused to comment on the resolution’s chances of passage. The 10-cent charge is made at pools in Rhodius, Douglas, Garfield and Ellenberger parks after about 2 p. m, daily with these exceptions: Rhodius and Douglas, free Monday and Friday, and Garfield and Ellenberger, free Monday. Willard pool always is free. The resolution charges that the 10-cent fee “is working a hardship upon the boys and girls of this city who do not have the 10-cent admission fee.” It demands that the pools “be open to the general public at all regular hours without any admise sion fee.” Jackiel W. Joseph, Park Board president, defended the fee as a revenue measure. The resolution declares that “there are adequate funds in the Park Board to defray the necessary expenses.” H. W. Middlesworth, City recrea« tion director, said the fee prevents overcrowding in the afternoons, thus enabling adults to swim after worke ing hours. The resolution says “There is plenty of room in the City pools to accommodate all the said children at all times.” Mr. Kealing said he had talked with William: J. Oren and John A, Schumacher, the other two Republican councilmen, and had heen ase sured they favor the resolution.

Civic leaders have urged abolie tion of the fee.

The Council also is to consider proposed ordinances which would tighten regulations of second-hani stores; alter taxicab regulations; prohibiting trucks on N. Pennsyle vania St.; repeal the finger-printe ing provisions of the 1937 pawne brokers ordinance: prohibit circuses on Good Friday and Easter Sunday; amend the zoning ordinance; create ing a housing authority,

With the exception of the zoning ordinance amendment, all those measures have been held by the Council for several months and no action is expected tonight.
