New Reply to Magazine Says He Never Bowed To Temptations.
"NEW YORK, Aug. 19 (U. P).— Denying ‘charges in a Saturday Evening Post article entitled “Jimmy's Got It,” James Roosevelt said in an’interview published today by ’ Collier's Magazine that “1
couldn't take it”—his reference being to “political insurance.” Walter Davenport, the interviewer of the President’s son and secretary. quoted him: ° “I am not in the political insurance business. Political insurance is insurance that is required by a political boss or body in order to win contracts from that boss or
gang. “Listen, I never have written a surety bond, a contractors’ bond, fire insurance, life insurance or any other kind of insurance that might by any stretch of any definition be called political insurance. Never. And I never will.”
“They Wanted Nothing”
The Collier's article published today was the second and concluding installment of Mr. Davenport’s interview. It comprised the reply of the President’s son to allegations pertaining to his income and busi-
ness practices in the Saturday Evening Post article by Alva Johnston. - Still on the subject of “political insurance,” Mr. Davenport quoted Mr. Roosevelt further: “Oh, sure, it’s been offered to me. I refused to place bonds for the late Joseph A. Maynard, collector of the Port of Boston. I refused to accept such business from Joseph McGrath, the present collector at Boston, from Peter F. Tague, postmaster at Boseon, and many others. “These gentlemen wanted nothing of me. They offered me the business out of pure friendship. “But, you see, I couldn’t take it. #I have thus rejected a vast amount of business.” ?
“I'm Not a Fool”
In another section of the interview, entitled “I'm glad you asked me,” Mr. Roosevelt was quoted: “I'm not fool enough to try to laugh this situation off—these ‘innuendoes, implications, whispers, ambiguities. I'm not a fool. I'm not permitting occasional successes to make me forget what underhandedness, political connivery and so on might do to my father. “2 “If all these rumors that I'm a snide—a political racketeer, a trader on the place my father occupies—if all these rumors are true, then certainly some one has proof, or evidence so close to proof, that I should be brought before some tribunal. “And if all these smear stories are so, they must involve many of the Government agencies and many of those individuals and groups to whom I've sold insurance. Thus they, too; must be engaged in dark practices.”

End of $10 Clause Brings New Names as Regular Claims Decline.
More than 12200 unemployed Hoosiers, affected by elimination cI the $10 clause, filed claims for unemployment compensation benefits during the first three days of this week, reports from 104 claim offices showed today. At the same time, the number of regular claimants, who were not affected by the $10 clause, hit a new low last week of 3341—a 58 per cent decrease from the T7783 claimed filed June 18. - Regular claims have been declin-
ords showed. : As state-wide claims filed und the $10 clause amendment average 4000 a day, 1668 Indianapolis unemployed sought benefits in the three-day period. ; : Division officials estimated that 20,000 in the State would file claims this week. This would be threefifths of the number which offiicals estimated would be affected by the amendment.
. Balance Is Seen
Meanwhile, 12,900 beneficiaries relinquished their benefits in the first two weeks of August. Apparently they returned to private employment, since they were otherwise eligible to continue drawing benefit checks. This led to the belief that the influx under the $10 clause amendment would be balanced in a short time by the number leaving the rolls for employemnt. - In the first two weeks of this month, there was a net decrease of 5469 in the state’s unemployment compensation load, division records showed.
HOLDUP MAN CUTS VICTIM

Awakened early today by a noise in his room, Charles Barrett, 64, of 1653 Carrollton Ave. saw a young polo-shirted thief crawling out of his bedroom window, he told police. The intruder took with him a black leather billfold containing between $18 and $20. Other petty thefts cost Indianapolis residents more than $150 Paul Gray, 42, of 417 E. 17th St. was treated at Methodist Hospital for a cut received when he grappled with a would-be holdup man who threatened him with a knife as he parked in front of his home. The thug fled empty-handed,” Mr. Gray said. Thieves broke into a filling station at McCarthy St. and Madison Ave. and escaped with eight tires valued at about $60, Russell Kelso, 97, of 810 N.

" “In the petitioner's (Miss Evans") case, she is a feminine star, one whose chief stock-in-trade is her feminine charm and beauty, and in connection therewith the respondent (Government) allowed a deduction for wigs, makeup, etc. in the sum of $583.55 and an additional deduction for a maid of $802... . “This type of expenditure is entirely different from a tonsil operation which was deemed advisable to eliminate the susceptibility to colds. “Who: does not get a cold and who does not have his or her working efficiency reduced by such ‘an affliction? Are, therefore, all tonsil operations ordinary and necessary expense?”
Trip Expenses Contested
Another item the Government contested was the expenses for a trip from Hollywood to New York for Miss Evans and her mother, and a trip to Europe for her mother. In both instances, the deductions were claimed because the actress said'the journeys were partly for the purpose of making and improving theatrical contacts—to which the Government replied that looking for a job is a personal expense. Altogether, Miss Evans made deductions totaling $11,777. These included $675 for rent; $2667 for traveling; $1200 for special photographs for “Madge Evans Clubs”; $3647 for wardrobe: $143 for cleaning and dyeing; $459 for medicinal purposes; $1179 for automobile expense.
