Minton Defends New Deal Business Measures

Times Special ANDERSON, Oct. 8.—Security for small business man depends upon security for the worker and the farmer, U, S. Senator Minton declared at a Democratic Party rally here last night. He said he “would be ashamed of his party” if it were opposed to honest business, and added that the regulatory measures of the New Deal were aimed “at the few dishonest business men." “The problem now is to distribute the purchasing power of the 36,000 wealthy families who have more income than 11,000,000 people. “The small business men of In-

REGISTRATION DELAY

From Registering.

Arch N. Bobbitt, Indiana Republican State chairman, today ordered Republican district chairmen and (vice chairmen to caution subordinates to guard against attempts to prevent registration of voters, especially in the larger population centers. Mr. Bobbitt said he had been informed that there apparently had been an organized campaign to prevent registration of Republican voters and changes #n registrations. “Registration offices had been | | surrounded,” he said, “by repre-| sentatives of the opposition and, either through delay or actual in- | terference, it has been made virtually impossible for some voters to] register. | “This condition has been true in| the larger cities particularly, but| [ have heard of a number of cases | of it in some smaller cities, espe-| cially in the southern part of the] State.”

Morgan County Women To Hear Willis

Times Special MARTINSVILLE, Oct. 8.—Winding up another week of his swing through the state, Raymond E. Willis, Republican Senatorial nominee, was to address a meeting here today sponsored by the Morgan County Republican Women's Organization. Mr. Willis spoke yesterday at Auburn, where he outlined his agricultural policies at the annual Dekalb County Fair. He gave a major address Wednesday at Richmond, speaking on “Youth.” In his talk at Auburn, the nominee said he opposes operation of reclamation projects “while arable acres are lying idle.” “The Republican Party,” he said, “always has been the friend of the farmer. Most of the constructive policies of the Government with regard to agriculture were established by Republican Administrations.

might get them out of any walk of life, and still get in every case an honest man.

Urges Check of Records

“However, we must not blame the entire police force because of the lack of intelligence, carelessness, or even dishonesty of a few of them. “It is useless expense and definitely militates against successful law enforcement for the police to make arrests when weak prosecution or an antiquated legal system prevents the successful conviction of those arrests, Obviously more must be done than merely changing the Chief of Police. In addition to the fact that he should be appointed and retained on a merit basis, he should be given the support of the public, of civic and private organizations. “May I, therefore, offer in the spirit of constructive criticism that you, or any other candidate, offer to check the records to make a thorough investigation as to where the inefficiency or blame may rest, and to pledge that after such a complete investigation has been made you will see that we have the best possible man for the job regardless of his politics, or regardless of what this or that faction, political organization, or self-serving group may demand.”

Lists ‘Things Done’

Mr. Overley wrote that he was “disappointed in your statement

that your first official act in event of your election to mayor will be the removal of Mike Morrissey, Chief of Police.” Mr. Overley listed the following things which he said Chief Morvissey had done: Installed and operated the first Police School; enlarged and improved the radio system “until it is today one of the leading systems in the country”; installed a criminal record system “second to none in the United States”; inaugurated a crime laboratory; remodeled the police station for efficiency, and inaugurated the Crime Prevention Department. Mr. Overley added that he had learned Chief Morrissey “has spent as high as 16 to 18 hours a day working for the Police Department. I know that he has ridden in a radio car night after night until 2 and 3 o'clock in the morning, check=ing on calls . . . and keeping them (police) on their toes.”

WEIRTON CASE 1S DELAYED

WASHINGTON, Oct. 8 (U. P.) — The National Labor Relations Board announced today that the 14-month old board hearing against Weirton Steel Co., scheduled to resume Monday, had been postponed until Oct. 19, by agreement of both parties.

Bureau, last night charged the New Deal with permitting Texas to raise a 105.000-000-bushel corn crop without Government control while Indiana and other Midwestern farmers were forced to adhere strictly to the terms of the latest farm act. He charged that when the Southern cotton markets were lost, the Texas farmers turned to raising corn, Under provisions of the new farm bill, only commerciai corn raising states, including Indiana, were subject to its terms. “What the corn farmers of the Middle West cannot understand, and so far no attempt has been made by higherups at Washington to explain, is where any logic can be found in a policy that while destroying a market for one commodity, deliberately opens the way for cutthroat competition by the growers of that commodity with growers of another commodity,” Mr. Heim said.

John W. Kern, former Mayor, and his mother, Mrs. John W. Kern Sr, were interested spectators. the U, 8. Tax Appeals Board in Washington,

apartment at the hospital, rent free; that he has a maid and a houseman, who are on the City payroll, but that they do nothing but serve him and his family, consisting of his wife and two children; that water, heat, electricity, telephone and food are furnished him and his family at no cost to him.

Claims Special Food Ordered

“That the food that goes on his table is ordared special, and is far superior in quality to that served the patients in the hospital. That he receives repairs, parts, gasoline and oil for his own personal automobile, all at the expense of the taxpayers, thus bringing his compensation to several thousand dollars more than that fixed by the budget. Maybe that's why many of the employees are working at a relief wage. “I will admit that after the Republicans had been in power here for several years, they became] guilty of some acts detrimental to the best interests of the commun-

the maid ard houseman was ‘“absolutely false.” “Maintenance includes gasoline for my car, but nothing else,” he stated. “All repairs come out of my own pocket.” Mr. Wolf said pay for his position during Republican administrations was $4000 a year.

G. 0. P. Arranges Two County Rallies Tonight

The Marion County Republican organization will conclude its week's activities with two campaign meetings tonight, one at the Edgewood Grade School auditorium and the other at 3109 Jackson St. William O. Nelson, 11th District Congressional nominee, and Howard Meyer, attorney, will speak at the Edgewood meeting. A number of candidates are expected to attend. The Jackson St. meeting, sponsored by the 24th Ward Young Republicans, will be addressed by Herman C. Wolff, nominee for Mayor, and John D., Hughes, chairman of the Young Voters’ branch of the Republican State Speakers’ Bureau. Ralph Hamill, chairman of the Marion County Young Republican Organization, will preside. Cites Loss in Strikes Mr. Wolff, speaking at a Republican meeting last night at 2407

{Ethel St., touched on employer-em-

ployee relationships in Indianapolis. “Nobody profits from strikes, which mean a loss to both em-

ity, but I defy anyone to say that | public employees were threatened | with the loss of their jobs unless] they contributed to the Republican | campaign fund in any amount, much less in an amount fixed by the party organization, and I pledge to the citizens of Indianapolis that as long as I am county chairman of the Republican Party of this County, no such practice as is now being carried on by the boss-con-trolled Democratic machine will be tolerated for a minute. “The Democratic party is going to rally from time to time. I give them these conditions to rally around.”

“Ridiculous,” Says Myers

Dr. Myers characterized charges as “ridiculous.” “No assessment whatsoever {is made on any professional or semi- | professional member of the personnel here,” he said. “This includes physicians, nurses and laboratory technicians. “Orderlies and janitors, who have agreed to pay a small sum a week, do so on the same basis as all over the city. Those who got their jobs through politics pay and they want to do it. “Some of them may have dropped behind and for the past couple of weeks they have been cashing their

checks and paying out a small sum. I don't know what it is.”

Figure High, Says Wolf

Mr. Wolf claimed that the hudget figure used by Mr. Vandivier denoting his salary was “too high.” Commenting on the charge that hospital employees are forced to make contributions, Mr, Wolf said

that the lay personnel contributed the same as personnel in any other City Department, “We can't take anything out of their checks. We do cash their checks as a service, since we're some distance from town. Then they pay their contributions as they see fit,” he said. In answering Mr. charges, Mr. Wolf said: : “When 1 first got this job, the salary was $3600. It was later cut to $3,551.10, which is my present salary here. “I am on full maintenance here, the same as 290 student nurses, internes, graduate nurses, lay employees and the superintendent. As far as luxurious furnishing are concerned, I furnished my apartment at my own cost and I don’t think it's luxurious.”
