SEES TRIUMPH FOR VANNUYS
Senator to Be Re. elected by Huge Majority, Pettengill Says.
WASHINGTON, June ( P) Rep. Samuel B. Pettengill (D Ind) today predicted that Senator VanNuys (D. Ind) would overcome opposition of the New Deal and the Indiana Democratic state machine and be “re-elected by a tremendous majority Mr. Pettengill frequently opposed cles . He is not running for re-election I shall support Senator VanNuys” he said in a speech inserted the Congressional Record, “and I shall do so on whatever ticket he may sun”

Cites Former Campaigns Mr. Pettengill VanNuys' pendent, Party said President Roosevelt, for example, has never worried over party regularity, He is regular when it suits his purpose and he is irregular when it suits his purpose. Mr. Pettengill cited former campaigns in which the President supported independents or FarmerLaborites and called attention the President's Jackson Day speech saying Mr. Roosevelt “took pride in announcing that he had at one time voted the Republican ticket for President.” Mr. Pettengill blamed New Deal policies for the business recession. saving that confidence was shaken by the Supreme Court measure and the Government Reorganization Bill. Pointing to Mr. VanNuys' apposition to those bills, the House member said that “for neither of them was there any mandate of the people in the Democratic Party platform of 1938."

Seven months of bedfast pain— Bight skin-grafting operations— Three blood transfusions— And all for one little firecracker! That is why little Mary Anna Taylor hopes City officials will ban the use of fireworks by all except experts. The first firecracker Mary Anna lighted at 7 in the morning on July 4, 1935, set fire to her print pajamas. She screamed and ran into the kitchen. She poured water by tin- | cups full in a vain effort to extinguish the fire. Her mother dashed into the room and pulled the remaining half of her blazing clothes from her body. A doctor came and administered aid. She was taken to Methodist Hospital with about one-half of her skin seared.
