State House observers, engaging in a “guessing game,” were of the opinion Mr. McMurray and Mr. Stump would be unopposed. Although stressing that there had been no organization decision on support of any State office candiates,the observers “guessed” that likely nominees would include Mr. Robertson for treasurer; Mr, Thompson for auditor and Mr. Koenemann for Secretary of State.

Judge of the Criminal Court and the Prosecuting Atforney’s office. “As Prosecuting Attorney, I have attempted at all times to prevent these personal differences from interfering with the performance of my duties in Criminal Court and shall continue to do so. “These differences date back the prosecution by me of Peter Cancilla for an assault on a news-

He charged that frauds had occurrred particularly in the Democratic Sheriff's nomination race between Mr. Feeney and Charley Lutz. Judge Baker denied that Prosecutor Spencer and his office force “are competent, able and willing to fully and faithfully conduct the investigation called for with regard to said primary, for the reason that relator (Prosecutor Spencer) and at least one of his deputies were extensive beneficiaries of the apparently concerted violations of law appearing in said primary, and because at least two of the deputies of relator were so connected with apparently criminal conduct in said primary as to place them under grave suspicion of complicity therein.” Spencer Disqualified The Judge alleged that “these facts call for an investigation which will include, as a part thereof, an investigation of the office of the prosecuting attorney of Marion County and its connection with said primary and that said neces-

Senator Tydings, lieved of his job yesterday. Purge Is Denied FHA officials here denied charges of “purging” and said the removal was part of an efficiency program. Meanwhile, Rep. David Lewis, the 69-year-old ex-miner whose candidacy has the apparent but unannounced blessing of the Administration in the “turn out Tydings"” movement, spoke out against any use of Federal relief machinery to further his Senatorial hopes. “I would have no part in soliciting or accepting WPA help in my candidacy or any other candidacy, and if I find any of my friends active in such ways I will publicly denounce them,” Mr. Lewis said. State Rights Are Issue There are other reasons why Maryland seems likely to be free this year of any open effort to influence votes of relief workers: 1. The State WPA Administrator, Francis E. Dryden, and his deputy, Harry D. Williar, were appointed on recommendation of Senator Tydings, and are regarded as personally friendly to him. 2. Marylanders traditionally have resisted inroads on states’ rights. 3. Maryland's WPA rolls are small when compared with the total population and with the WPA legions in other states. Further, it is estimated that about half of the Maryland WPA workers are Negroes who are registered Republicans.

He charged that extra marks had been put on ballots and that there were many erasures. “Cheating in the precinct committeeman race cause me to lose a lot of votes,” he said. “It was very clear that some one had put extra marks in the squares opposite committeeman candidates and caused the mutilations.” Chief Deputy Prosecutor Oscar Hagemeier, in charge of the Grand Jury's election probe, said the jury’s work will be delayed several days next week because of other investigations that have to be made in cases where accused persons are in ail.

BLAGK TRIANGLE OF T. B. STRIKES

State’s Sauthern Counties | Have Highest Death Rate in U.S.

The apex of the “black triangle,” zone of the highest tuberculosis mortality rate in the United States, has reached into Southern Indiana counties, which are “steeped” in the | disease. Thirty counties in this district are | without any bed facilities for tuberculosis sufferers. The death rate | is correspondingly high. The State of Indiana, where an | average of 1730 have died annually | of this disease during the last five years, has the fewest beds per patient of seven Midwest states. This was the picture drawn today | by the Indiana Tuberculosis Association which has appealed to Governor Townsend and the Legislature for an appropriation to build a 150-bed sanatorium in Southern Indiana. Estimated cost for the institution is $650,000, of which 45 per cent might be met by PWA funds. Expects Passage

Thurman Gottschalk, State Welfare director, said he was confident the Legislature would pass the appropriation at a special session later this month. “Everyone seems to favor the construction of the sanatorium,” he said. “It's one of our primary needs.” Outlining the tuberculosis situawhich he said was in critical need of hospitalization facilities, Murray Auer- | bach, Indiana Tuberculosis Associasaid: now has 1628 sanator-

“Indiana

Of these, 1112 beds are located north | of the southern border of Marion | County, 216 in the southern counties.

Four Beds to 10 Deaths

“South of Marion County, there | beds for every 10 | deaths. Outside of Vanderburgh and Knox Counties, which have sanatoria, there are 1192 known cases of tuberculosis which receive no hospital care at all and are not segregated.” The annual death rate for this section of the State, based on a five year average, is 62.4 persons for every 100,000 in the population, compared to 51.5 for the entire] State. The Northern section of Indiana, with 9'2 beds for each patient, has | a correspondingly lower annual | death rate of 50.1 per 100,000 population. Indiana's Problem “The tubercular problem in Indiana is not confined to the southern counties,” Mr. Auerbach said. “It migrates everywhere with infected persons.” He pointed out that in Marion County, which has adequate facilities, 27 per cent of all tuberculosis deaths last year were of persons originating in the southern counties. The “black triangle,” which appears on every U., S. health map as a black, roughly triangular blot, covers Tennessee, Kentucky and southern Indiana, with a slight overspread into the southern portions of Ohio and Illinois. “Nobody knows why this mortality rate blot exists,” Mr. Auerbach said. “But we think it results from previous lack of control until this area has become the worst in. the country. “I feel that the condition would not exist today if provision for care and segregation had been made years ago.” Dr. Verne K. Harvey, State Health Commissioner, said he felt it imperative that the proposed institution be built “to take tubercu-

Mr. Lutz now has 14,826 compared with his canvassing board total of 16,539. In the Democratic mayoralty contest, Sheriff Ray gained 23 more votes yesterday for a new recount total of 19,100 compared with his original 19,023. Reginald Sullivan, certified as the winner, now has 34,928 compared with his original total of 36,211. There are only 31 more precincts to be recounted in this contest.

‘Spotted’ Rains Slow Pace of Crops in U. S.

WASHINGTON, July 9 (U. P.).— Crops which got off to an unusually good start last spring have encountered unfavorable summer weather, Department of Agriculture reports indicated today. Officials said that conditions since June 1 were “spotted,” with too much rain in some sections and not enough in others. The general crop report, to be made Monday on the basis of July 1 conditions, was expected to reflect | less favorable growing conditions in | June than May. Farm production above the average for the past years still was indicated, however. Department officials predicted a

| bumper wheat crop of between 950

million and one billion bushels. The six leading Chicago grain dealers forecast a corn crop of 2,498,000,000 bushels, compared with 2,645,000,000 bushels last year; an oat crop of 1,139,000,000 bushels, as compared with 1,146,000,000 bushels last year.

PWA GIVES G0’ T0 CITY POWER

But Private Rivals Must Be Made ‘Reasonable’ Offer, Ickes Says.

By HERBERT LITTLE Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, July 9.—The Administration’'s five-year-old policy of

| encouraging city-owned power pro-

has an open road

The first loan-and-grant for such a project in more than a year is

expected next week, under the new

policy of noncompetition announced today by PWA Administrator Ickes. Objections to public competition with private enterprise, raised in Senate debate on the lendingspending bill a month ago, brought from Mr. Ickes today a statement of policy which requires that a city, make a “reasonable” offer to buy any privately owned utility property with which the proposed municipal utility would compete. Mr. Ickes is to be the judge of what is fair and reasonable. This policy will not apply, however, to any of the 127 public-power projects for which loans and grants already have been allotted. Furthermore, it applies only to facilities for distributing current, not to the construction of generating or transmission facilities. Cities will not be required to offer to buy all the facilities of a private company, but only such part as would be in competition. ‘

MATT LEAH'S AUTO IS LOOTED BY BURGLARS

Pair Grabs Pedestrian and Robs Him of $110: Purse Stolen.

A $110 robbery, an insurance fraud, the theft of property worth more than $80 and several minor thefts were reported to police in siX overnight crimes here.

John LeFevres, 39, of 1901 Lame bert St., told police that a Negro man and woman grabbed him as he was walking in the 300 block on Ellsworth St. and took him into a house. There they robbed him of $110 before fleeing.

Property valued at more than $80 was reported taken from the car of Matt Leach, Antlers Hotel, which was parked in front of the Public Library. Clothing worth $47 was taken in addition to a $25 traveling bag. Mr. Leach told officers ene trance to his car was gained by breaking small side windows. He estimated the damage to the wine dows at $15.

Walter Hardy, 435 E. New York St., reported the theft of a purse containing $16.

Probe Insurance Fraud

Police today were investigating an alleged insurance fraud, having ree ceived information from Mrs. Bare bara Weisenberger, 69, of 2916 Paris Ave. that she had been swindled out of $95. Mrs. Weisenberger told police that a man representing himself as an insurance adjuster came to her home July 2 and informed her she was to receive $3000 principal and $1000 interest on an insurance pole icy of her husband. Mr. Weisene berger died May 19. The man told her, she said, that before obtaining this money she would have to pay $27 to bring the policy up to date. He returned on July 4 and told her she would have to pay $68 taxes. He said he would return July 9th or 11th. She called police and told them she knew of no policy her husband had had.
