Mr. Brennan explained that tentative plans for the building were completed in case members of the Legislature decided they wanted it included regardless of the Gover101's recoinmendation, The Governor said he felt the State would have no difficulty in securing a PWA grant for 45 per cent of the total cost of the construction program The State's share, or approximately $4 400.000. would be appropriated from the General Fund balance of $24,557. - 947

state 30 per cent and the counties 20 per cent, It would cost $2,000,000 annually
for the State to take over the en-|
| tire share of counties. Two plans for redistributing social security costs {now are being considered — “the State-aid” system, and the direct assumption of part of the counties’ share “The appropriation of Statematching funds for the program, and the redistribution of welfare costs are to form this relief program,” the Governor said. “At least those are to be my recom- | mendations to the Legislature. The call was issued for July 19 at 10 [o'clock in the morning.” The welfare cost program is reecommended by the Farm Bureau and the Indiana Taxpavers Association, and derives support from representatives from rural and farm communities, who attempted to have a
| similar program adopted by the 1937 |
Legislature. State Welfare Director Gottschalk (said the State is not considering | taking over the entire counties’ share | of welfare costs. It could take over | & portion of the counties’ 20 per cent or establish a “State aid sys- | tem.” Under the latter proposal, the counties would continue to be billed for their 20 per cent, but the State

FOR DAILY COLUMN
| Headliners’ Club Names Best
Writers of Year.
(Clapper’s Column, Page 10)
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J. July 11 (U. P).—The National Headliners’ Club made -ublic today its awards for outstanding achievements in reporting and writing for the year ended June 1, 1938. Raymond Clapper, columni:t for The Indianapolis Times and ScrippsHoward newspapers, received the award for outstanding work as a columnist,
John R. Morris Far Bastern United Press manager, was awarded a silver plaque for the outstanding foreign reporting of the year. His award was based upon his eye-witness accounts of the bombing of Shanghai on Aug. 14, 1937. The award for the best domestic news reporting was given to three
| staff members of the Chicago Times “these !
for their expose of Nazi organiations in the United States. They were William Mueller, John Metcalfe and James Metcalfe. The award committee recognized the Spanish War reporting of the late Edward Neil, Associated Press staff writer, with a posthumous award. Formal presentation of the awards will be made Saturday night at the annual Headliners Hose.
Kinney, Mr. VanNuys’ manager Mr. McKinney, who advanced the name of James Deery for a Supreme Court judgeship, also said today that it looked like the other Marion County nomination will go to H. Nathan Swaim Senator VanNuys denied that he had “practically indorsed” the “Two Percent Club” collections when he appeared before the platform drafters. It had been reported that he had been asked: “Senator, would you prefer to have party finances built up through 2 per cent collections instead of from corporation contributions?” and that the Senator replied: “Definitely.”
Revolt Talk Persists Today, however, Senator VanNuys asserted that such State matters were not discussed. He predicted that the beer importer setup will he repealed and said “within the next few weeks, the Democratile party in

house cleaning.’ Some talk of revolt still persists among the delegates, particularly where they were hand-picked to Mr. VanNuys and now are asked to take him, Commenting on his threatened expose of a more than $100,000 tax return which he previously had claimed a Democratic State leader made from his political connections, Senator VanNuys said: “There wasn't anything about it.” There is to be no further talk of exposes from him, he indicated. Mrs. VanNuys arrived here this morning and joined the Senator at their suite in the Spink-Arms. Senator Minton also is there and has indicated that will have little to say as permanent chairman regarding the VanNuys renomination

by acclamation was Lew O'Bannon, Corydon editor, who urged nomination of a “100 per cent” New Dealer and elimination of the senior Senator because of his Court Bill stand. Clarence Manion, National Emergency Council director for Indiana, discussed with early ariving delegates a possible insurgent movement against Mr. VanNuys' renomination,
Jackson Stays Out
Some members of the Allen County delegation were reported attempting to revive Samuel A. Jackson's candidacy, but Mr. Jackson quickly squelched the movement with reiteration of his earlier announcement that he was not a candidate. The VanNuys harmony program was advanced late yesterday when Senator Minton reportedly gave his colleague verbal assurance of his support. The promise was reported made at a conference in Senator VanNuys’ campaign headquarters at the Clay= pool Hotel. The conference was called when it

County Delegates Split
Choice of the State ticket was delayed when the Marion County delegation was unable to agree on one of several local candidates. State administration support of City Controller Swaim to displace Supreme Court Judge James P. Hughes, Greencastle, met with opposition from a portion of the delegation, Supporters of James Scott, trucking firm operator and local Safety Board member, for clerk of the Supreme and Appellate Courts, and Joseph Hoffman for Secretary of State, swarmed into the Claypool lobby last night and vainly sought backing for their favorites. Party leaders were reported still favoring Edward A. Koenemann, Vanderburgh County Auditor, for the Secretary of State nomination, despite a growing opposition by labor groups who charge he is unfavorable to labor,
White May Announce
It was reported today that State Senator E. Curtis White, president of the Marion County Allied Printing Trades Council, may enter the race for Secretary of State today, with support of labor groups. Certain labor groups also are opposing choice of State Senator Frank G. Thompson, Bluffton, because of his voting record on bills affecting labor,
Paul Stump, Crawfordsville, in-
cumbent clerk of the Supreme and Appellate Courts, and Floyd I. Mce Murray, Lebanon, present super tendent of public instruction, are expected to be renominated withe out opposition. Joseph M. Robertson, Brownse town, is reported to be the definite choice for Treasurer.
Caucuses Tonight
The State ticket problem is exe pected to be settled before the dise trict caucuses at 7 o'clock tonight at the State House and the Claypool. Each of the 12 districts will elect one member each of the Resolutions, Credentials and Rules and Organization Committees, which will meet and organize immediately after their election. The convention sessions will open at 9:30 a. m. tomorrow at the State Fair Grounds Coliseum with State Chairman Omer Stokes Jackson presiding,
Preceding the nominations will be committee reports and Governor Townsend's address as keynoter and temporary chairman. Senator Mine ton is to be permanent chairman. Senator VanNuys is not scheduled for an address, except for a brief speech of acceptance following his nomination,
