Henry Claims Democrats ‘Muffed’ Chances

Minton Visits City for Three Campaign Talks Tonight.

Democratic war veterans of In- - diana had been reminded today by J. Monroe Johnson, assistant U. S. Secretary of Commerce, of New Deal expenditures for “an adequate national defense.” Mr. Johnson was the principal speaker last night at a state-wide rally at Tomlinson Hall. Senator VanNuys, also on the program, cited his record on veterans’ legislation during the last six years and promised continued support of measures affecting veterans’ welfare. Mr. Johnson said: . “Those with war experience were - (lisconsolate at the supineness of the " Republican = Administration in its neglect of our national defenses. But with the expenditures of the Democratic Administration to Army . and Navy, a glow of well-being is pervading us.” He declared that for 10 years prior i to 1933, defenses had been neglected to such an extent that both the Army .gnd Navy were “prevented from -carrying on normal, peace“time training.” -

Commends Veterans’ Stand

;. He commended the veterans for 7 their stand that preparedness not only tends to insure peace, but costs the country nothing more than “a . ~ premium payment on a permanent peace insurance policy.” He said that if the issue in the ‘.coming elections was put into a single phrase, it would be that of liberalism in government against conservatism of the reactionary. ~ In pointing to the record of the New Deal, on which he said the .Democrats now stand for re-elec-ction, he cited the creation of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Social Security Act, PWA -and WPA, the CCC and the present “trend toward a “permanent pros- - perity.” Senator VanNuys said: : “It has been a real pleasure this “fall to campaign not so much for ‘myself as for those two grand old - Democratic institutions, Reginald Sullivan and Louis Ludlow. Unless -all signs fail me, we're going to win 00 Nov. 8 with the biggest margin yet. oh : “As for myself, I stand on my record on veterans’ legislation durTing the last six years. I have done teverything I could for you. And Why not? You've been good to me. ‘I had a fight over the bonus, but I Say to my guns and I'm proud of : Promises Loyal Support

“I have in back of me you as vet--erans, the laboring people and my Negro friends. And to you and them I promise the same loyal sup-

sport I have given during the last .40 years of my service in state ‘and national public life.” Other speakers were Rep. Louis Ludlow and City Controller H. Nathan Swaim. Mr. = Sullivan, Democratic candidate for Mayor, ‘was introduced but did not speak. t Tom McConnell, State chairman ;of the Democratic Veterans, preSided.

s Speaks at Ward Rally

: At a ward rally at 28th and Station Sts., Senator VanNuys said: + “My opponent offers but one suggestion toward permanent relief for the unemployment situation, and .that is absorption of the unemployed by private industry. There is noth{ing new or original in the sugges‘tion. That is the objective toward which we all are working. “My opponent is making promises. ‘My promises are backed up by past * performances. . If re-elected, one of my main objectives will ‘be to foster a more sympathetic cooperation between Government and business, a fuller recognition of the .common interests of capital and ‘labor and a consequent revival of free enterprise.”

Minton Defends Trade Pacts at Ligonier

Times Special LIGONIER, Oct. 21. — “These people who go running around the State with baskets of imports either are deliberately deceiving the people or they do not know that the farm and industrial goods that the United

States sells abroad far outweigh the imports,” Senator Minton said here last night. Replying to Republican charges that reciprocal agreements had put European industry and agriculture in competition with American farmers and workers, the junior Indiana Senator said: “Let’s take up the charges of our critics one by one and dispel the

0g. “They say that imports have increased since 1932. Well, 1932 was a low point in the slump of world trade. Why should any foreign nation want to invade our market when corn was selling for 10 and 20 cents?”

Claims Imports Negligible

Senator Minton said there had been imports only at times when the price for domestic commodities rose because of shortage. “The truth is,” he said, “that even after serious crop failures, competitive farm imports never amount to more than a tiny fraction of the total production here. “When farm prices are good in this country and farm exports are moving abroad, farm imports increase, too. But they don’t threaten the American farmers’ home market.” He said that a bushel of corn pays 25 cents plus freight to enter this country. A bushel of wheat, he said, pays 42 cents plus freight.

Cites Rise in Exports

“The real way to stop imports is to keep farm prices at ruinous levels,” he declared. “That’s the way the Republicans checked them in 1931-32.” He denied the contention that imports brought the price of farm products down. = “It works just the other way around,” he said, “because imports do not come into this country unless there is a scarcity and the price is high. “While imports of farm products dropped 32 per cent for the year ended June 30, 1938, exports increased 158 million dollars, or 22 per cent.”

Charges Trade Stifled

The Senator charged that America’s foreign trade was “stifled” during the Coolidge and Hoover years. “The tariff monopolists raised our customs barriers higher than ever before, and other countries answered by raising the same barriers against us,” he said. “The trade ;agreements are undoing that damlage by making customs duties more reasonable for the countries which do the same for us. “These agreements offer protection against competitive products because they limit the amounts which can come in under reduced tariffs.” 1

Oliver P. Morton Club Meeting on G. O. P. Schedule.

“The Democratic Party has muffed every chance to give Marion County good, clean, honest government and now, on the eve of the election, has the audacity to ask the

voters to return it to power,” George A. Henry had asserted today. Mr. Henry, defeated for the Republican Mayoralty nomination in the primary, praised the nominee, Herman C. Wolff. He spoke at a meeting last night at 310 W. 28th St. “The party in office,” Mr. Henry said, “should at least have a record for achievement on which to stand. What is the Democratic record in Marion County? “It is one of crime, vice, gambling and wholesale disregard of the laws on the part of certain privileged persons who, in return, throw their dubious support to the political machine.” Charging that “women and children are not safe on the streets” and that track elevation had been “kicked around like a football,” the speaker pointed to the record of Mr. Wolfl.

Consistent Stand Claimed

“His (Wolff’s) record shows that he was one of the original workers for the city manager plan,” he said. “His stand has been consistent. “Although the Democrats have been in power for nine years, with a glorious opportunity to install a city manager plan in Indianapolis and have done nothing, they now meekly declare themselves in favor of it on the eve of the coming election.” ; He said he “defied” the Democratic Party to show a constructive effort to bring about the plan. “What is the Democratic record during the last nine years relative to installing a constructive program on smoke abatement?” he asked. Asserting that teachers, ministers and parents have requested the cooperation of Chief Morrissey and the Governor, “time and again,” he said: “It is true that they received promise after promise that these conditions would be eliminated, but have these promises been kept?

Wilson Raps Liquor Law

“Can the Democratic Party consistently say that it has rid Indianapolis of the vice and corruption existing in our community?” Wesley T. Wilson, Republican candidate for State Representative from Marion County, last night urged new legislation to end what he charged were “evils of the present Liquor Control Act.” Speaking at a meeting in the residence of Otto Guston on Edgewood Ave. the nominee declared: “Although the Indiana Liquor Control Act was declared to be for the economic welfare of the peoble, its results have proved a sad disappointment. “It has resulted in the increase of petty crime, corruption, graft and law evasion.” Mr. Wilson asserted that the election of a Republican Legislature il mean a revision of the liquor aw.”

Townsend Labor Record Attacked by Tucker

T'imes Special BRAZIL, Oct. 21. — Governor Townsend's labor record was attacked by James M. Tucker, Republican candidate for Secretary of State, here last night in retaliation for Democratic attacks on the labor record of Raymond E. Willis, G. O. P. Senatorial nominee. “Governor Townsend, who now poses as the great friend of labor and the farmer, was not always so,” Mr. Tucker said at a party rally. Democratic state and national officials have been criticizing the labor record of our Senatorial candidate, Raymond E. Willis, when he was a member of the State Legislature in 1919 and 1921. ‘Therefore, let's have a look at the labor record of the present Governor when he was a member of that Legislature in 1923.

Charges ‘Arrogance’

“The House Journal of 1923 freveals that Governor Townsend at that time voted to kill the Full Crew Bill, to kill the Women’s Eight-Haur Bill, refrained from voting on Compensation Law amendments, the State Constabulary Bill, the bill creating the Department of Mines and Mining, and the Soldiers’ Bonus Bill. “An analysis of the votes on these bills shows that when there was no controversy over a bill, Mr. Townsend was present and voting and that twice when measures of vital

cal opportunists who pose as libera and friends -of labor are in power, they are so arrogant as to think no one else is interested in the problems of the laboring man. And they accuse everyone else of being opposed to his interests.”

Social Security Reforms Advocated by Willis -

Times Special FRANKFORT, Oct. 21.—Raymond E, Willis, Republican candidate for the U. 8. Senate, in an address here last night, indorsed and supported changes; in the Social Security Act suggested, he said, by “friends of labor.” _ ) The suggested amendments, he said, included the issuance of receipts showing the amount credited to each person's account each year and extension of the act benefits to agricultural and domestic service workers. : “Many of my labor friends have suggested that the Government issue a definite record each year of the total amount of money paid to each Social Security account during that year,” the nominee asserted, ; “I think the suggestion has merit and I shall most certainly give it my utmost support. “The fundamental principle of Social Security is insurance against old-age dependency in the form of the purchase, during the life-time of the individual, of an annuity. Therefore, it would seem to me that the Government should follow the same procedure, in accordance with the best business practice, of the private insurance companies.

“Legal Obligation”

“When an individual applies for insurance with a private company, he is issued .a policy upon the initial premium payment. This policy operates as a direct legal obligation against the company and expressly stipulates the benefits to be derived from such policy. “Receipts should be issued by the Government annually which could be made a part of such a policy and thus every worker would have a definite record of payments to his account. Such a plan would reduce greatly any possibility of misunderstanding or confusion when such policy shall have become a claim against the Government.” The nominee said agricultural and domestic service workers under the present act are not included in social security benefits. “These people cannot come within terms of the act and consequently in their old age they can receive only old-age assistance and not oldage pensions. This assistance is not given as a right, but as a privilege. “Thus the people in these noninsured occupations cannot receive assistance until they have undergone the humiliating procedure of a ‘needs’ or ‘means’ test. As a matter of justice, if some are to have

Farmers Regimented, Heim Asserts

Times Special COVINGTON, Oct. 21.—William J. Heim, Republican State Agricultural Bureau head, charged here last night that farmers were “regimented and moved around like pawns in a chess game by masters in Washington.” “There is no man who is a farmer who today can say that he is lord and master of his home and actions on the farm,” he told a meeting of farmers. : He asserted that reciprocal trade pacts had “encouraged” foreign farmers to increase their production.

TWO PER GENT PROBE UNLIKELY

Jeffrey’s Letter Turned Over To U. S. Commissioner ~ Of Internal Revenue.

Times Special WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.—Federal officials do not plan to do anything about the Indiana Democrats Two Per Cent Club, it appeared today. For when Atty. Gen. Homer S. Cummings received a letter alleging the club has evaded the Federal Income Tax Laws, he merely turned it over to Guy Helvering, Commissioner of Internal Revenue. The letter asking a Federal Grand Jury investigation came from George R. Jefirey, Indianapolis, Republican candidate for Superior Court judge and former U. S. district attorney. It is considered unlikely that such action will pe taken, it was indicated at Mr. Helvering’s office. ] Senator Sheppard (D. Tex), chairman of the Senate Campaign Investigating Committee, has said that the Indiana Two Per Cent Club is not a Federal matter and therefore his committee is without jurisdiction to investigate its activities. However, two investigators for the committee have been in Indiana for some time and a report is to be made at the committee meeting next
