New. Deal Triumph Is

Forecast by Barkley In Gary Talk.

Campaign oratory assumed a Halloween tinge today as Demacrats| fired “a double-barreled attack on Herman C. Wolff, Republican can-

didate for Mayor.

Circuit Court Judge Earl R. Cox, | speaking at a Democratic rally last night at the Sports Arena, asserted that Mr. Wolff began getting “spooks before the eyes” long before

the Halloween season -opened.

Meanwhile, Mr. WolfI’s qualifications to “handle efficiently the second largest corporation in Indiana” were challenged in a statement issued at Democratic headquarters |. ee ‘that if he is elected, Indianapolis)

today. : ‘Rushing Season’

“Mr. Wolff really rushed the season,” Judge Cox said at the rally last night. “As soon as th€ Republican.campaign got under way. some weeks ago he began seeing ghosts and goblins stalking our streets and

alleys. “As the weeks went by

movies. : - “I really am surprised that

come to Indianapolis these days. They probably expect to step over dead and bleeding bodies in the streets and by-ways.”

Mr. Cox said he had lived in In-

dianapolis a long time, adding that “the only complaint I ever had against the place was that at times

it was a little dull.” - Inexperierice Charged

“I must be getting old,” he said. “Here the old town fairly is reek-

ing with sin and I am not getting around to gaze upon the orgy. As a judge of one of our courts, I

ought to see what is going on.” The statement issued at Democratic headquarters today asserted “the Republican Party is asking the voters to hire a man who has demonstrated that he lacks the necessary qualifications to run the City corporation, which is 10 times larger than any other business in the City.” “No private corporation,” the statement continued, “would hire a manager who had no experience in that line of work.” Continuing, the statement said that Reginald H. Sullivan, Democratic nominee for Mayor, had “qualified himself during five years as Mayor to run the City government efficiently.” The State government is the only other Indiana corporation larger thari the City, according to the statement. :

New Deal Aid to Masses Praised by Minton Times Special = DECATUR, Oct. 29.—Growth of alien and terroristic doctrines in America has been ‘prevented because the New Deal took an interest in the welfare of the masses, U. 8. Senator Minton declared at a Democratic rally here last night. «If we kept millions of people out of work, allowed them to lose their skill and their morale, and maintained them on a dole, so that they ate or starved at.a governmental nod, that would be a dangerous policy, threatening the downfall of American institutions,” he said. Declaring that the New Deal had pursued a policy beneficial to the we:fare of the large majority, he added: “Nations that have not achieved any lasting democracy failed in the time of need to care for the idle and the hungry and the homeless. But in America, the land with the best

government on earth, we have re-

mained a great democracy because the Government did not fail the people.” . & Barkley Defends Social Legislation

Times Special

GARY, Oct. 28.—Democrats of the Calumet District today gained hope from the prediction of Senator Alben Barkley (D. Ky.) that “logic would - dictate a Democratic - ballet

at the polls Nov. 8.”

The U. S. Senate majority leader addressed a rally here last night which--party leaders estimated was

attended by more than 5000.

Defending the Administration's social legislation, the Kentucky Sen-

ator said:

“We are endeavoring to safeguard the right of all our people who believe in the theory of Democracy to enjoy as much liberty as is consistent with the general

welfare,

“It is because of this we have en-

During our administration of 1930 to 1934 inclusively we devoted ourselves strenuously to a program that would bring credit on ourselves throughout the nation. “Most members of my administration, like myself, had back‘grounds deeply rooted in the history of the City and we put pride of our city above personal consideration.

Must ‘Encourage Expausion’

“The way in which our City has bloomed from a physical standpoint in the last eight years has been a source of great satisfaction to me. Boulevards have sprung up where eyesores existed. New traffic thoroughfares have been opened to provide expansion of the City. “Hundreds of new homes ranging from attractive bungalows for the modest wage earners to palatial residences have been built. Our City is growing rapidly and it must continue to have a City government that will encourage this expansion. - “Economy must and will be the watchword, to the end that we may keep down the taxes for the benefit of property owners and new industries. In recent years we have seen new industries and established industries spend more than 15 million dollars in our City because we had fine administration to support our other natural advantages. “We will continue to attract industries which will provide employment and help thousands of those now unemployed to regain their economic independence.”

Townsend Asks for Democrat Assembly

Election of a Democratic Legislature today had been asked by Governor Townsend to assure-the con-

and the improvement of measures now on the statute books.” The Governor spoke at a rally last night at the Sports Arena, North and Pennsylvania Sts. “We want to continue our job of making life more secure for the common people, and we cannot do it if the Republicans gain control of the Legislature,” he said. “We know from past experience that the opposition to liberal measures, such as old-age pensions, has come from the Republican membership.” : The Governor declared that some of his administration’s programs were enacted to meet emergencies and to keep people from starving. “Now,” he added, “the task is to adjust these programs so that those who are receiving their benefits may have greater protection against insecurity and dependency.”

Charges State Costs Are ‘Almost Double’

Times Special WILLIAMSPORT, Oct. 29.—Governor Townsend's statement that Indiana is giving more government for the money now than it was in 1932 was denied by James M. Tucker, Republican candidate for Secretary of State, in a talk here last night. Mr. Tucker said Department of Commerce figures revealed that the per capita cost of the general departments of the State Government had been “almost doubled” during the McNutt and Townsend administrations, adding: * “And yet Governor Townsend, ‘in an address at Bedford the other night, said that the cost of government was being reduced in Indiana.

Farm Program Bogged Down, Says Willis

Times Special PLYMOUTH, Oct. 29.—The National Administration’s entire farm program is bogged down, Raymond E. Willis, Republican Senatorial nominee, charged in an address here last night. Mr. Willis called Secretary of Agriculture - Wallace : “ridiculous” for suggesting that the present market prices of farm products do pos reflect the true market condition. “If the Republican Party had made such a claim in 1932,” Mr.

Willis said, “Mr. Roosevelt ‘and his| aids would have said that we were:

insane. on “The truth of the matter is that the entire Administration farm program has bogged down, and they are attempting to use any argument to convince the farmer that it has not failed. “If you want to know why it has bogged down, I can tell you that, too. Their industrial program, with its interference with business, has killed part of the domestic market. And the reciprocal trade treaty system, which resulted in an increase in corn imports from 347,000 bushels n 1932 to 86 million bushels in 1937, has stolen much of what remained of the American market.”

Sober Judgment Needed, Wolff Declares

Sober, considerate judgment, not red fire and fireworks, is the need of voters as they go to the polls Nov. 8 to select their next City administration, Herman C. Wolff, Republican mayoralty nominee, said last night.

Speaking at a campaign meeting

at 27th and Clifton: Sts., Mr, Wolff |.

said: “At no time has this campaign appealed to me as a three-ring circus. Only once in four years do the people of Indianapolis have an opportunity to determine who shall manage their City affairs and spend their tax money. It is a time for serious reflection. “In these times when business, itself, is conserving its resources, we need to apply serious business practice to the affairs of our City and County governments.” Mr. Wolff has been contacting thousands of industrial workers in his daily campaigning. - His program includes informal appearances at factory gates where he meets the employees as they leave the plants. No speeches are made. The. schedule for the first half of next week includes: Monday, 11:30 a. m., Climax Machine Co.; 3:45 p. m., Beech Grove Shops; Tuesday, Hall-Neal Furnace Co.; Wednesday, 11 a. m. to 12 noon, Omar Baking Co.; 3:30 p. m,, E.

VICE SQUAD CHARGE DENIED BY CHIEF

Replies to Allegation by Sheriff Ray.

Chief Morrissey denied today that his police vice squad was being used as “a political whip,” as charged by Sheriff Ray. -

lowing the trial of Joe Lynch, poolroom operator and former Democratic ward leader, on a charge of keeping a gaming house, The Sheriff said he was an “interested observer at the trial.” Lynch had been arrested in a raid by Roy Pope Jr. vice squad member. “Lynch was a ward chairman for

the Machine Busters, Inc.” Sheriff Ray said. “He formerly was active

as a Democratic worker in his ward,

but this fall he is not doing anything politically. It looks to me iike someone has been trying to hurt him.” Chief Morrissey said: “The vice squad is not and never has been used politically since I have been Chief. I didn’t even know Lynch was a politician. I do know he ran a poolroom and has been arrested several times before.” Municipal Judge Pro-Tem. Edwin K. Stiers discharged Lynch, declaring, “It’s very peculiar that this man should have been brought in without any evidence.” Sergt. Ashley said “the players

MARSEILLES, France, Oct. 29 (U. P.)—Premier Daladier’s policy of temporarily ignoring the League of Nations and working in accord with Germany and Italy was fully approved today by the annual Radical Socialist Party congress. Full co-operation with Britain would be continued, : A resolution approving the policy was voted after Foreign Minister Georges Bonnet made a speech out-

M. Bonnet defended the Government’s policy in the Czechoslovak crisis, and its participation in

I the four-power Munich agreement

on Czechoslovakia’s = dismemberment. ; : - Redefining the. Government's policy in light of the crisis, he said that France without abandoning the League of Nations could not continue to base its whole policy on Geneva. On the contrary, he said, the collapse of the collective security system and the League's inertia in the Czechoslovak crisis obliged France to seek to reorganize peace among the four Munich powers.

Hope for Co-operation

“The keystone of our policy remains the French-British entente,” M. Bonnet said. “But to avoid war for our children we hope that the Munich accord will permit improvement ,of relations of France with her neighbors. : “We hope that sincere co-opera-tion will be possible with Germany. “Normal relations have been reestablished with Italy. ;
