Republican Strength

Youthful Leaders Take Reins in Struggle for Return To Power, but Advance Is Expected to

Be Below Party’s Hopes. — By THOMAS L. STOKES Times Special Writer : CHICAGO, Oct, 24.—Republicans are showing definite signs of life

in the Midwest, once one of their strongholds. ; This is apparent in a tour which covered Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin,

Minnesota, Iowa and Illinois.

It revealed, in varying degree and not

everywhere, an infusion of young blood who have pitched in to reorganize the party from the bottom and to pound away on issues which have accumulated from New Deal policies affecting farm and city into which

the-area is divided. Younger faces appear in busy campaign headquarters, youngsters have been put in charge of precinet and county organizations in many places. Younger men are pumping at the Democrats from the platform. J They've got a big job ahead of them. They'll realize some gains this year, though not what headquarters are boasting publicly. This is not yet the year of jubilee for which they have looked for six years. There’ll be no sweeps anywhere. Put on New Clothes

But there is a different psychologly than has been discovered for the last few years. Among numerous party workers is found the recognition that the Republican Party has got to cast off its old clothes and its old figures and catch up with the. times, though it js difficult in many cases to divest the party of the old G. O. P. raiment. Estimates of experts consulted, and not of party headquarters, are that Republicans will .pick up four to five house seats in Ohio, two In Michigan, one or two in Wisconsin, two in Minnesota, two or three in Jowa and three to five in Illinois, or from 14 to 19 in the six states.

Four Senate seats are at stake and Republicans are making a real bid for them. Republican Robert A. Taft is pressing Democratic Senator Bulkley in Ohio in what looks like a very close race. Ex-Senator L. J. Dickinson of Iowa, who condemns the New Deal up and down the line, is making a strong race against Senator Gillette.

Alexander Wiley, Republican aspirant in Wisconsin, is running well in the three-cornered contest there, and here in Illinois a youngster, Richard J. Lyons, is at least exerting a lot of energy in campaigning against ex-Congressman Scott W. Lucas.

Best Chance in Ohio

Tt would appear that Republicans have their best chance to capture a Senate seat in Ohio. Democrats are favored in the other states except Wisconsin, where - “Senator Duffy appears to be-out of the running, with Herman. Ekern, the Pro- - gressive Party candidate, favored at this stage. In their fight for Governorships, the Republicans have good chances in Ohio, Minnesota and Iowa. Their candidates in the first two are aggressive younger men, John W. Bricker in Ohio and Harold E. Stassen in Minnesota. These two and young Mr. Lyons in Illinois are the type of younger Republicans who are coming along to constitute a real threat to Democrats, with a counterpart in Tom Dewey in New York. Republicans this year probably have the most fertile field to win a Governorship in Michigan, due to the recession which hit the automobile industry there so hard, labor confusion and the natural advantages in an off-year in a state long normally Republican. But there they followed along the old line and picked candidates strongly identified with the old G. O. P.,, mostly older men. That is expected to prove helpful to Governor Murphy, a stanch New Dealer and close friend of the President, against ex-Governor Frank Fitzgerald. This race will be very close. ‘Republicans have put more em-

phasis this year on their Gubernatorial candidates and state tickets, which is the essential for rebuilding the party. Republicans are making inroads

Ohio, Michigan and Minnesota. They are capitalizing farm discontent with the C. 1. O., WPA and low crop prices. In Minnesota and Iowa there is nothing like the “farm revoit” which Republicans have pictured. Farmers there are not happy over the fall in prices, but they still are willing to ride along, for the most part, with President Roosevelt and Agriculture Secretary Wallace. It is those who did not co-operate who are sore. Roosevelt Still Magic Greatest Republican obstacle still is a man named Franklin D. Roosevelt, whose personal popularity seems to continue despite criticism of individual policies. He is not running this year, but you'd never guess it to hear Democrats roll his name around their tongues. . There is a noticeable movement toward middle ground on both sides, with Republicans insisting—with some exceptions—they agree with some of the Roosevelt objectives, and Democrats shying away from hundred percentism but using the Roosevelt name to the limit. A decided pick-up in business by Election Day, which now seems in prospect, also should help the Democrats. The auto industry is taking on thousands every week in Michigan.

SERVANT RETURNS MISSING 3-YEAR-OLD

Tells G-Man He Took Child On Visit to Friends.

FLORAL PARK, N. Y., Oct. 24 (U. P.). — Three-year-old Dean Tripp, son of a wealthy accountant, was returned home today after being missing since Saturday morning. The child disappeared with George O’Connell, 36 - year - old handyman in the home of Wilbur D. Tripp, after a shopping trip to New York City. Mr. O'Connell and the child arrived at the Long Island home this morning. Mr, O'Connell appeared surprised when police surrounded him. The child ran into his mother’s arms. Mrs. Tripp, who was near collapse, told Mr. O’Connell: “I never want to see you again.” Mr. O’Connell, employed in the Tripp home for 15 months, told Federal agents called into the case, that he took the child to spend the week-end with friends. He said he couldrn’t understand why an alarm had been sent out.

CONTROLLER SWORN IN

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24 (U. P.).— Preston Delano, a distant relative of President Roosevelt, today was sworn in as Controller of Currency, one of the Federal Government's major fiscal posts. Mr. Delano, a native of Phoenix, Mich., formerly was a governor of the Federal Home Loan Bank system.

likewise up against it. Piecework rates are illegal if they fall below the minimum hourly wage of 25 cents an hour. Wage-Hour officials believe piecework will be a diminishing factor in American industry except insofar as it as a bonafide bonus system for exceptionally efficient employes. Homework likewise is expected to recede, since the incentive .to scatter production among unsupervised employees, working often under inefficient conditions in ill-lighted living quarters, will be reduced. - The scandalous abuses of the company-store system are- also in the line of fire. No employer may dodge the 25-cent minimum by deducting excessive sums for the grits and sowbelly his workers buy at his own stores or extortionate rent for company-owned houses. Mr. Andrews is counting heavily on pressure from low-paid workers in intrastate occupations to force the passage of state wage-hour laws supplementing the Federal act. He forsees a time when some industries, now claiming a local character, will be demanding an interstate classification in order to escape state regulations more stringent than those of the Federal act. In the meantime, he plans to enforce the act “uniformly and compellingly, with forbearance but without partiality.” There was a touch of the boisterous confusion and turmoil of early NRA days as regulations were hurriedly issued during the last few Snys before the law became effective. : Persons familiar with the WageHour Act already are complaining that it was hastily and unsatisfactorily drafted. Officials complain that the division is understaffed and lacks adequate funds. National experience with it from now until January when Congress meets undoubtedly will underwrite a movement for amendment.

Smith, Indianapolis manager of the State Employ= ment Service (right), hands him a pamphlet ex-

George R. Jeffrey, Republican candidate for Judge of Superior Court 2, today had questioned whether bonds posted by the Indiana Bonding

collected in the event of forfeiture. Mr. Jeffrey also charged that two members of the Marion County Prosecutor’s staff are officials of the company. They are Oscar C. Hagemeier, Chief Deputy Prosecutor, listed as a director and attorney for the company, and Richard S. Page, an investigator for the Prosecutor, listed as president of the company. Both Mr. Hagemeier and Mr. Page said Mr. Jeffrey’s charges were “just politics.” Speaking yesterday at 2730 Sutherland Ave., the nominee said: “This company claims among its assets a mortgage for $100,000 on land which is assessed for taxation total of only $1120.

“Mud Throwing” Is Retort

“This is the same company which was notified of the indictment of those election fraud defendants before their names were made public, and even before the indictments were returned in open court, the purpose being that the company could have the bonds already prepared and its agent waiting to obtain the release of these defendants whenever they were arrested. “This is the same company of which R. S. Page, a salaried investigator in the Prosecutor’s office, is president.and of which Oscar Hagemeier, Chief Deputy Prosecuting Attorney in charge of the Grand Jury which returned the indictments, is one of the directors.” “It looks like George is just throwing a little political mud,” Mr, Hagemeier said when informed of Mr. Jeffrey’s charges. “As I understand it, the company signed about as many bonds for Republicans indicted in the election fraud cases as it did for Democrats. The bonds it signed for Republicans under indictment in the case were signed at the request of the attorney representing the Republicans.”

‘Politics,’ Says Page

Mr. Page said that the statements made by Mr. Jeffrey were ‘just politics.” “Mr. Jeffrey’s charges shouldn’t be taken too seriously,” he said. “I understand he is getting his information from Morris Moss, who is employed by the Republican County committee.” Mr. Jeffrey said he had a certified copy of the mortgage from W. E. Neal of Marion County to the Indiana Bonding & Surety Co. upon 140 acres of land in Union County, Illinois. “The mortgage purports on its face to secure the payment of a promissory note for $100,000, and it was executed to the company before the company was incorporated or had any legal existence,” he said. Mr, Jeffrey said a certificate, executed by Louie C. Kelley, clerk and ex-officio recorder of the Union County, Illinois, Circuit Court, certified that the mortgage had been executed by W. E. Neal and made to the Indiana Bonding & Surety Co. on Dec. 29, 1933. : “The Indiana Bonding & Surety Co.” Mr. Jeffrey said, “was not even incorporated until Jan. 6, 1934.” Incorporated in 1934 Officers of the Indiana Bonding & Surety Co., as contained in the firm’s annual report to the State Insurance Department, are Richard S. Page, president; Lloyd S. Wright, secretary and treasurer, and Frank

90 | Throop, vice president.

Directors listed are Richard and Charles Page, E. K. Spencer, J. C. Cravens and O. C. Hagemeier. The company was incorporated with the Secretary of State Jan. 6, 1934. Mr. Spencer could not be reached for comment. The City directory lists Elinor K. Spencer as the wife of the Prosecutor, but she said “I don’t know anything about the Indiana Bonding & Surety Co.”

CHICAGO, Oct. 24 (U. P.).—Police today speeded up investigation of the murder of Mrs. Mary Du

Vuona, 27, attractive housewife, after a shot, believed intended as a

home of her sister-in-law. The shot splintered a window glass last night in the apartment of Mrs. William H. Foerstiner, sister of the victim’s husband, Rosario, 33. No

|one was home at the time.

The attack mystified police. Capt. John Horan believed it was intended as a warning to Mrs. Du Vuona’s family not to press investigation of her slaying. Her husband found her body,

APPROVES ADDITION TO BEN DAVIS H. $,

State Tax Board Consents To Approriation.

An additional appropriation of $110,909 to permit Wayne Township officials to construct an addition to ‘Ben Davis High School was aps proved today by the. State Tax Board. The Township is to issue $61,000 in bonds to match a PWA grant of $49.909 for the project. Bonds are to be for a period of not more than 15 years and interest must not-exceed 4% per cent. Township Trustee Herbert H. McClelland said plans call for construtcion of 12 more class rooms and a separate shop building. The shop building basement is to be used for vocational courses. Industrial arts and manual training classes are to be on the first floor, and the top floor ia to be used as a band practice room.

Deny History Textbook Is Propaganda

BALTIMORE, Oct. 24 (U. P.)—Baltimore school officials today absolved a history textbook of charges that it was filled with ~ pro-New Deal propaganda, and was unfit to be read by children. Dr. David E. Weglein, superintendent of schools, said that an examination of the controversial history text, “Visualized American History” by Philip Dorf, failed to disclose anything “objectionable.” He said that a committee of teachers, principals and supervisors studied the book and decided it was without bias. The point was raised Oct. 2 when E. Paul Dehles, local architect, complained that his daughter, Ytive, had been reading the book and absorbing “propaganda.” Dr. Weglein said that the - book is not required reading by local school children, but is on a supplementary list. He said further that it gave both sides of the pro-anti New Deal controversy.

ROB TRUCK DRIVER AFTER COLLISION

State Police searched this afternoon for two Negroes reported to have slugged and robbed M. O. Johnson, Freihofer Baking Co. truck driver, following an accident earlier today in Speedway City. Mr, Johnson’s truck was involved in a collision with a car containing two Negroes and two Negro women companions. After the crash, the Negroes assaulted Mr. Johnson, took $12 from him and fled, State Police reported. No one was injured in the acci-

divan when he returned home Saturday. Capt. Horan theorized that Mrs. Du Yuona had been slain by a rejected admirer. He said an informant had told him Mr. Vuona had a fight outside his home three weeks ago with an admirer Mrs. Du Vuona had refused to allow inside. Mr. Du Vuona, Capt.

. Czech Proposals Rejected;

Cardinal Denies He Attacked Hitler.

BUDAPEST, Hungary, Oct. 24 (U. P.).—Hungary formally rejected Czechoslovakia’s latest proposal for settling their territorial dispute today. The Hungarian answer to the Czech offer to cede sections of Hun-garian-populated areas in the dwindling republic was dispatched during the night for delivery to Frantisek Shavalkovsky! Czechoslovak Foreign Minister, this morning. The Hungarian Council of Ministers had decided that Czechoslovakia’s answer to a.formal demand for territory was “not acceptable in its present form.” New Hungarian counter-proposals were sent.to Praha today, but although Hungary said negotiations would continue, half a million Hungarian troops were massed at the Slovak frontier.

Daladier Wins in

Senate Elections PARIS, Oct. 24 (U. P.).—Premier Daladier was strengthened measurably by elections for 97 of the 312 Senators, returns showed today. Though the vote was an indirect one—in which departmental councilors of 30 provinces named the Senators—it was interpreted as a vote of confidence in the Government and, most particularly, in its foreign policy of which the Munich agreement on the dismemberment of Czechoslovakia was a part. It was asserted in political quarters that M. Daladier would be strengthened materially in any plans he might have to form a strong national coalition Cabinet or take the more extreme course of asking a dissolution of Parliament and a consequent general election. The result of the election was as follows: Socialists, four; Union Socialist Republican, two; Republican Socialists, four; Radical Socialists, 41; Independent Radicals, nine; Left Republicans, 10; Republican Democratic Union, 27.

Cardinal Denies Attack on Hitler

VIENNA, Oct. 24 (U. P.).—A circular letter by His Eminence Theodor Cardinal Innitzer, archbishop of Vienna, repudiating attacks on him by Nazi newspapers, was read to the congregations in all Roman Catholic churches yesterday. The attacks on the Cardinal were a sequel to the riots which started Oct. 7 after a youth service in St. Stephen’s Cathedral. In his letter the Cardinal said: “I declare that the Austrian bishops’ declaration of last March 18 (after the German absorption of Austria) was dictated by an honest will for peaceful co-operation with the present legal Government. “Later developments, however, included measures deeply shocking to

every Catholic. : “In my sermon at the Catholic

‘|youth service at St. Stephen’s Oct.

7 I did not attack the Chancellor with a single word, nor have I formulated attacks against him, the state or the Nazi Party.”

BERLIN, Oct. 24 (U. P.).—Der Angriff, Labor Front organ, bitterly denounced the Pope today for his speech last week criticizing Nazi attacks on Catholics. Describing the Pope’s words as “monstrous accusations of Germany,” Der Angriff said: “Who asked ‘Christ's representative’ in the style of Jewish war mongers to make allegations about

- {the political intentions of the Ger-

man Reich—allegations which must be classed as hatred, filled with calumnies?”

KAUNAS, Oct, 2¢ (U. P.).—The Lithuanian Government has abandoned two proposed sets of laws for regulation of the Memel territory and its transfer from martial to civil

{law, well-informed sources said. The

step was considered partly a concession to Germany.

British to Start New

JERUSALEM, Oct. 24 (U. P.)— British troops planned a new large scale drive on Arab rebels today. It was expected to start this week. The British authorities were surprised at the strong resistance of the rebels despite the increased size of the British armed forces which now total about 20,000.

U. S. Makes Gesture

In Favor of Jews

LONDON, Oct. 24 (U. P.)—Political quarters reported today that Prime Minister Chamberlain might announce at any time important changes in the cabinet. Joseph P. Kennedy, United States Ambassador, called on Malcolm MacDonald, Colonial Secretary, today, presumably with a suggestion that Jewish immigration into Palestine should not be stopped.

U, S. DISTURBED BY NAZI AIMS IN SOUTH AMERICA

Kennedy Reconcilation Plea Lacks Echo in State Department.

By RAYMOND CLAPPER Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON ,Oct. 24.—Since Munich, our higher Government officials have withdrawn into silence

concerning the state of the world. That silence, however, should not be misconstrued. It is not the silence of tacit approval. On the contrary. This Government does not feel reassured by the settlement. It is disturbed. Its anxiety is increased by Japan’s new control of the whole Chinese coast, marking the elimination of British influence there. The opposite impression might be gathered from the Trafalgar Day address by American Ambassador Joseph P. Kennedy in London. He urged reconciliation between democratic and dictator countries. He would stop hammering away at “irreconcilables.” I inquired at the Department of State whether Ambassador Xennedy’s remarks accurately represented the policy: of this Government. In reply, I was handed a copy of Secretary Hull's statement of Sept. 30, commenting on the Munich settlement of the day previous. . : One Phrase Underlined In the statement, Secretary Hull used this significant sentence: “It is hoped that in any event the forces which stand for the principles governing peaceful and orderly international relations and their proper application should not relax, but redouble, their efforts to maintain these principles of order under law, resting on a sound economic foundation.” The last part of that sentence, beginning with the word “redouble,” was underlined in pencil for emphasis. However easy Mr. Kennedy may feel about the future, Washington is disturbed, very much disturbed. The crux of this uneasiness is Latin America, the expectation that Herr Hitler will intensify his economic penetration there which already had hosn begun some time before Munch.

BUENOS AIRES, Qct. 24 (U. P.). —La Prensa, one of South America’s most influential newspapers, appealed to the United States editorially today to foresake its trade isolation for the sake of “A better age of humanity.”

serted that the bombing apparently had been deliberate and protested strongly to the Japanese. : . Sir Robert S. Craigie, British ambassador in Tokyo, also protested.

The gunboat was patroling near Changsha, in the Siang River, which empties into Lake Tung Ting and the Yangtze above Hankow. To the complications over the American liner and the British gunboat, there was added a possible Portuguese complication in the far south. From Macao, important Portuguese island across the mouth of the Pearl River from Hongkong, came reports that Japanese warships had been sighted east of the island. It was added that Japanese were reported to have landed troops near Wangmoon, with the apparent obeject of isolating Macao from the interior. By doing this, the Japanese would cut off Macao as a Chinese supply base, just as they cut off Hongkong last week. . Japanese fire brigades at Canton set off explosions in an effort to halt a huge fire whith, they charged, was started by Chinese incendiarists. The fire spread to the foreign sec tion on Shameen Island. One of the dynamite explosions damaged the United States Cone sulate. Every window in the building was shattered. A Chinese clerk was cut by glass.

Resistance Ordered

Chinese reported that Au Tehchen, Kwangtung Province civil government, issued a ‘proclamation to people of the province, of which Canton is the chief city, to resist the Japanese invasion to the uttermost. At Hankow, the Japanese were almost within striking distance of the emergency capital. They reported that their advance units marching up the Yangtze River occupied Twangfeng and pressed on past Kokiatien, which is only 19 miles away, Despite all denials, reports of . a British-German mediation effort aimed at stopping the war continued. It was rumored without confirmation that Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, the Chinese leader, had offered to resign in favor of Wang Ching-wei, former Premier, who was forced from office early in the war because he favored negotiating peacefully with Japan. Reports that Gen. Chiang arrived at Hongkong Saturday to talk mediation with Sir A. Clarke Kerr, the British Ambassador to China, proved incorrect, according to Hankow reports. However, a dispatch from Hongkong last night corrected the original version and said that Gen. Chiang had been in Hangkong secretly last Tuesday and Wednesday and left for Hankow at 3 a. m.

Thursday morning.
