Higher Wage Levels Urged

Indianapolis wage levels for various kinds of work must be brought

Wolff said last night in a campaign talk at the I. O. O. F. Hall, Cottage Ave. and Olive St. “Out of the recent depression and the desire’ for economic security,” the nominee said, “is coming a new type of Republican Party, with new jdeas of employer-employee relations, new concepts of the tailoring of education to meet the needs of & complex industrial society. “Our Democratic opponents regard themselves as the sole champions of social reform because under

programs have been put into effect. “The Republican Party of Indianapolis and Marion County believes in co-operation with industry and business to give more jobs and more economic security to our people.”

Haerle Attacks Prices

Speaking at a meeting in the I. O. O. F. Hall last night, Edwin Haerle, candidate for Prosecutor, declared that “it comes within the province of the Prosecutor to examine into excessive prices paid for relief groceries.” “The poor man is entitled to have these extra foodstuffs in his basket instead of seeing them held back to take care of some gilt-edge politician downtown,” he asserted. Meanwhile, Republican County headquarters announced that Mr. Wolff, Walter Pritchard, candidate for Criminal Court judge, and W. H. Jackson, Negro leader, will share speaking assignments at a 15th Ward Republican meeting Oct. 26, at 808 S.

New Deal Farm Efforts Praised by Minton at Knox Rally.

The remainder of the Democratic campaign in Marion County will be based chiefly upon the slogan: “We stand on our record,” leaders at Democratic headquarters said today as they prepared for another double rally tonight, : There will be no “wild primes” that can’t be carried out, County Chairman Ira Haymaker said. Speakers at the opening rallies have based their appeals for support on the achievements of present and former Democratic administrations. Governor Townsend is to enter the county campaign actively for the first time tonight when he is scheduled to speak at two rallies, one on the North Side and the other on the South Side.

Torchlight Parades Set

Sharing the platform with him at both meetings will be Reginald H, Sullivan, Democratic mayoralty nominee. Other speakers at the North Side meeting, at 2225 College

Ave. are to be Chalmer Schlosser, James E. Deery and Mercer M. Mance. Among speakers scheduled at the South Side meeting, at Russell and McCarthy Sts, are John Layton, City Clerk nominee, and Dr. Theodore Cable, State Representative nominee, Torchlight parades will precede each meeting and following them there will be fireworks displays. More new industries have come to Indianapolis in the last eight years than in any similar period during the last 30 years, because labor and industry have worked co-operative-ly, Mr. Sullivan said last night at a meeting at Hod Carriers’ Union headquarters, 422 N. Senate Ave.

Judge Bradshaw Speaks

Mr. Sullivan reiterated his belief that workers should be compensated adequately and permitted to work under favorable conditions. “I.recognize the right of labor to organize and bargain collectively to obtain these ends,” he added. The Juvenile Court was founded 35 years ago to prevent children from being treated as criminals, but that concept apparently has been forgotten today, Municipal Court Judge Wilfred Bradshaw, Juvenile Court judge nominee, said in a talk

burg Address,” was demanded by Raymond E. Willis, G. O. P. Senatorial nominee, in a campaign address here yesterday. The demand was made at a meetin the Court House sponsored by the Putnam County Women’s Republican Club. The book to which he referred, Mr. Willis said, was “Development of America,” by Fremont P. Wirth, Nashville, Tenn. “In this textbook, adopted under the influence of a New Deal State Administration,” the nominee said, “there are 800 pages, but not room for a picture of Abraham Lincoln or for the Gettysburg Address. “You might as well leave the Sermon on the Mount out of the Bible as the Gettysburg Address out of an American history.” Asserting that the Roosevelt Administration plans to decrease tax exemptions at the next session of Congress in order to raise more money for its spending program, Mr. willis proposed, instead, to reduce taxes to the “little fellow” as well as to business. This, he said, could be accomplished by cutting down the size of the Federal Government, by stopping wasteful spending in relief and by ending all tax exemptions for public officials. The nominee was a luncheon guest of the Kiwanis Club here and was entertained at dinner by the DePauw Chapter of Phi Delta Theta, the fraternity of which he is a member.

last night at Christamore Settlement. Judge Bradshaw said young offenders should be treated as.wards of the State, and that they are entitled to guardianship, protection and wise parental control.

Minton Praises Farmer-New Deal Ties

Times Special KNOX, Oct. 14—The relationship between the farmer and the New Deal “is the essence of democracy”’ since it ‘shows the people and their government working out

their problems together, U. S. Senator Minton said here last night. Speaking at a Democratic rally, he declared that the New Deal, with its crop limitation, rural electrification and land utilization plans “has been a good investment for Indiana farmers.” “The AAA has accepted 243,983 crop adjustment contracts from Indiana farmers,” he said. “Soil building practices have improved 2,027,384 acres. “The Land Utilization Division is converting 53,000 acres of land to forestry and recreation. The Rural Electrification Administration has provided 8000 miles of electric lines to serve more than 26,000 families. All these figures are for Indiana alone. “Debts of Indiana farm families were scaled down 83.3 per cent by the Farm Security Administration. I cannot understand how any Republican would have the nerve to attack this magnificent record, particularly since that party permitted the farmer to fall deeper and deeper into a mire of debt and low income when it was in power.”

McMurray Says Democracy Enriched by Education

Times Special

RICHMOND, Oct. 14.—Thousands of persons are able to “participate more intelligently in their govern-

ment” because of adult and workers’ education programs being sponsored by State and National Administrations, Floyd I. McMurray, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, said here last night. Speaking at a Democratic rally, Mr. McMurray said: “The change from an agrarian and small community civilization to an industrial society has brought up many new problems which were not discussed in the schools a generation or two ago. “Within the last few years the educational system has tried to bring these problems before adults, so that they can judge them impartially and decide for themselves. In this way democracy has been enriched. . . ” Mr. McMurray said that the State recently adopted a program of vocational education for salesmen in various distributive fields. He also praised the workers’ education program of WPA and declared it was “a great tribute to the workers that they have responded eagerly to these classes, and have asked for more and more education and trainny in cultural and vocational elds.”

your chin! That question gives us an opening to fire away with a fistful of facts.

While motorists appreciate Phillips clean test rooms, they really cheer for the quality and economy of Phillips 66 Poly Gas. In fact, their repeated and ever-growing purchases have skyrocketed our sales figures in a way never before seen in the industry: 1500 per cent increase in the last ten years.

Phillips 66 Poly Gas is more accurately custom-taslored to your month-by-month changes in climate than any other gasoline. And scientific surveys show that it contains nearly four times as much natural high test gasoline as the average motor fuel.

Yes sir! Your gasoline money buys more volatility in Phillips 66 Poly Gas. And experts declare that volatility is the most important quality in gasoline: Says a well-known scientist: The more

volatile fuel can be used with a leaner carbutetor setting, and hence with less fuel consumption.”

Says a professor of chemical engineer-

ing: ‘Increased volatility . . . is very effective in shortening the warm-up period . . . providing more uniform distribution of fuel to the different cylinders . . . reducing choking...and producing snappier acoelersiion and response

Says an editorial in an oil Msatinei

“Outstanding in the characteristics of improved motor fuel ... for superior performe , ance . . . is volatility.”

Remember, the extra volatility in Phillips 66 Poly Gas costs nothing extra, because Phillips is the world's largest proddiss ‘of

New Power Commission Aid

Resigned Jurist Starts Federal Service at Washington.

Times Special WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.—Posey T. Kime, who resigned an Indiana Appellate judgeship to join the legal staff of the Federal Power Commission, started work on his new assignment here today. The new post carries the title of “principal attorney” and pays $6400 as compared with the $10,000 he received on the Court. Like the nearly 40 other FPC attorneys, Judge Kime will be under the direction of the FPC general counsel and his two assistants. Since Oswald Ryan, Anderson, Ind., Republican, was promoted to membership on the new Civil Aeronautics Authority by President Roosevelt, William Koplovitz, St. Louis, has been acting general counsel. Mr. Ryan held the general counsel post for many years and Mr. Koplovitz was his assistant. Judge Kime declined to discuss the politics involved in his resig-

hation and advent here. It is understood, however, that he was recommended for the job by both Senator Minton and John W. Scott of Gary, FPC commissioner, Mrs. Kime and the children will remain in Indianapolis through the present school semester and then join him in Woshingin, Judge Kime said,

in Columbus a few nights ago. Most of us have forgotten Westerville. It has been out of the news a long time. The little town, near Columbus, is the home of the AntiSaloon League. Nobody said anything about prohibition or the liquor problem at the meeting and Westerville probably stirred few memories in the crowded auditorium, Coincidently. only a few minutes later, picking up a newspape: of ene of Ohio’s bigger industrial cities, I found a long leading editorial pointing out liquor abuses which had grown up in Ohio and warning that the abuses must be corrected if another national dry movement is to be headed off. Mention of the Anti-Saloon League and national prohibition calls up, among other things, the vision of diminutive, alert, persistent Wayne B. Wheeler, late head of the league, who started here in Ohio the crusade which put over national prohibition, and then sat in his dusty little office across from the Capitol at Washington and kept tab on the members of Congress in his exhaustive filing system to hold what he had won. Resentment Rises After his death, the 18th Amendment was swept from the books. Mr. Wheeler often said that the liquor interests, once they regain their power, always overdo it. Today in Ohio, where the prohibition movement started, resentment is rising over obvious abuses—a resentment noted also in other states. This resentment is being translated into action. In 31 counties, embracing more than 150 districts, some of them in the large cities, citizens will vote in the November election on retention or outlaw of the sale of liquor. The citizens, themselves, put the questions on the ballots by petition. . The resentment crops up here and there, in newspaper editorials, in letters to editors, in meetings of women’s organizations and ParentTeacher Associations. It is not of the fanatical type noted in preprohibition and prohibition days. A survey made by Frank Stewart, state editor of The Cleveland Press, shows that the people are being aroused over lax enforcement of liquor laws by the Ohio Board of Control; disregard by State officials of population quotas in granting permits; traffic fatalities and accidents caused by drunken drivers; violation of closing hours by night clubs and road houses in residential districts; licensing of beer parlors in the neighborhood of schools and churches; operation of slot machines and other gambling devices in drinking places. 885 Townships Dry Already 885 of the 1340 townships of Ohio are under some form of prohibition, It is forecast that the number will increase to nearly 1000 by the Noverhber election. Vigorous campaigns to outlaw liquor have been carried on in thick-

ly populated sections of Akron and

INVITES TOURS OF INFIRMARY

Commissioner Denies G.0.P"Charge of ‘Slavery’ Conditions.

A invitation was issued by! a 2 Y low Trophy, made. the second pres-

County Commissioners today for “any group of persons or individ-|€ uals” to make a tour of inspection of

| the County Infirmary on Tibbs Ave.

Their invitation followed a Republican charge that conditions at the Infirmary are “worse than the slavery system of the Middle Ages.”

Dow Vorhies, president of the Commissioners, said: “Of course, we require all ablebodied inmates to do their share of work on the farm, but working conditions are not as strenuous as on private farms. Aged or handicapped inmates are not required to do heavy work.” Criticism of the Infirmary was made by William E. Garrabrandt, G. O. P. candidate for County Commissioner. He charged that the inmates “are not getting. the benefit of the better grades of food raised on the farm.” Mr. Vorhies said Harry Barrett, Infirmary superintendent, reported recently that a wide variety of substantial food was being served to inmates.

Youngstown, with elections scheduled in 24 separate districts in Akron and 14 in ‘Youngstown. Agitation is going on for an election in one of Cleveland's large residential districts, Lakewood. Elections scheduled in the 31 31 counties are not county-wide, but include districts within the counties. In recent local option elections, drys have been very suceessful, winning far more than they lost. Figures for the entire country show that they won 5000 local option elections out of 7000. Professional dry organizations have: shown themselves ' much shrewder of late than when the issue . was subject to national controversy. They work quiety, emphasize temperance and slowly capitalize public sentiment that - already has been stirred up by abuses.

BIG FUTURE AS
