Times Special WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.—Senator VanNuys received $2354 and spent $5793.66, and his Republican opponent, Raymond E. Willis, received $4655 and spent $4002.07, according to their official campaign reports filed here today. But Senator VanNuys also collected $2492.15 from Federal employees who were indebted to him for their appointments, and then turned that sum over to the Democratic State Committee when such collections were ruled illegal, his report states. The ruling that such ‘personal campaign collections from Federal employees are illegal was made by the Senate Campaign Investigating Committee of which Senator Sheppard (D. Tex.) is chairman. It was held, however, that contributions can be made by Federal employees to the regular party organizations. Senator VanNuys explained in his report that he had held such e¢ollections in a special fund until the ruling. was made and then turned the money over to the State Central
law. Among the Federal appointees listed as making contributions were Val Nolan, U. district attorney, $100; W. Ray Sa customs collector, $50; Al Hosinski, U. S. marshal for northern Indiana, $200, and several bank receivers from $100 to $200 each. Largest contributor t6 Mr. Willis campaign was the Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee with $2000, Other contributions listed included Glen R. Hillis, Kokomo, $1500; J. K. Lilly, Indianapolis, $1000, and Everett Sanders, Washington, $100.

NEW YORK, Oct. 31 (U. P).—
Commiftee in compliance with the
tor of St. Paul Methodist Church, today indorsed a reported proposal
law to curb such radio programs, after services at his church Jast night nearly were disrupted by the “war’’ scare. The Rev. Mr. Lizenby was preaching a sermon on “Subduing the Enemy,” when an excited woman member of the congregation burst into the church. Without waiting for the service to halt, he said, she told of -hearing a radio report that New York City had been Sesitored by men from Mars. “We were stunned, ” he said: today. “I asked her if she was sure it wasn’t just a radio program, but she was somewhat hysterical, and I let it go at that. ; “I told children in the choir whose parents were not present that they could go home. A few adults in the audience also left. Because in such a situation, I .feit we should not leave hysterically, I said a short prayer, and then continued with my sermon. “Ten or 15. ‘minutes later, some of the congregation returned to say the report was false, and everybody relaxed.”

The program caused thousands of persons in every part of the country to believe that the Eastern United States had been invaded by creatures from the planet Mars. “1 withHold final judgment until later,” Chairman McNinch said, “but any broadcast that creates such general panic and fear as this one is reported to have done is, to say the least, regrettable. “The widespread public reaction to this broadcast as indicated by the press is another demonstration of the power and force of radio, and points out again the serious public responsibility of those who are licensed to operate stations.”

WASHINGTON, Oct. 31 (U. PJ). —President John J. Pelley of the
: | Association of American Railroads i | today conferred with President i | Roosevelt on the carriers wage con-
| troversy and announced the Presi- ¥ | dent seeks settlement of the dispute | “without trouble on a peaceful
basis.” ‘Mr. Pelley was called to the White House as Mr. Roosevelt intervened to prevent development of the con-
troversy which threatened a strike|
of one million rail workers. A few minutes before the conference, Chairman H. A. Enochs of the Carriers’ Joint. Conference announced that representatives of the carriers will meet in Chicago within two weeks to decide whether to withdraw their demands for & 15 per cent wage cut. Mr. Pelley said Mr. Roosevelt assured him the Administration would support a constructive rail rehabilitation program in ‘the next Congress. He said the President is hopeful that the recently appointed “informal” committee of three rail management leaders and three labor leaders will producé a rail program which the Administration can support. President Roosevelt, in separate conferences, reviewed both sides of the wage controversy. Mr. Pelley was followed to the White House by Chairman George M. Harrison of the Railway Labor Executives Association. Mr. Pelley said Mr. Roosevelt asked him to determine the railroads’ attitude regarding compliance with an unanimous emergency factfinding board report recommending

action will be taken at ‘Chicago, but informed sources predicted the carriers’ will abandon their demand for a 250 million dcllar annual wage sut in the face of an adverse board report and the threat of the railway unions’ 960,000 workers to stage a nation-wide strike. . Mr. Pelley said Mr. Roosevelt did not press the railroads to accept the board’s report, but “it goes without saying he would be very pleased to have this settled on a peaceful basis.” A strike would be certain if the roads attempted to enforce a cut in the face of the board's recommendations, he said. Mr. Pelley indicated that some of the weaker railroads might be opposed to withdrawing the pay-cut demand, but would not amplify this
remark.
Mr. Enoch’s committee conferred ‘with Mr. Pelley ‘before he left for
ithe conference with Mr. Roosevelt.
Mr. Enoch ‘said the committee was “disappointed” by the recommenda-
‘tions but thdt “the railroads are all
law-abiding.” “I don’t know whether all the railroads will comply with the board’s recommendations. We must give it calm and deliberate judgment,” Mr. Pelley said.

LARKSBURG, W. Va, Oct. 31 (U. P.)—The thunder of dynamite blasts on Spelter Mountain today carried for miles the report that a crew of loyal men and women was about to rescue Sport, five-year-old beagle hound trapped in a narrow fissure for 12 days. Sport is “everybody's dog,” When neighbors and friends of Howard Walls, 19, Sport’s master, want to go hunting, they have only to whistle and Sport will trot along with them. Thus it was that, when Sport fell into a sink hole, almost the entire population of the tiny community of Spelter turned out to help in the dog’s rescue. A full-time rescue crew of 15 never has stopped working to get the dog.,There are seven on the day crew and

(Editorial, Page 10).
The biggest costume party of the year is practically upon us, and by twilight you won’t know your own friends in their outlandish get-ups. For tonight is Hal:oween and, true to custom from nightfall to the wee hours the town will belong to persons who might be charged with impersonating ghosts and things if there was-an ordinance against it. ‘The tivo southern segments of Monument Circle will be roped off
for street dancing and police will be especially vigilant that no imposters take advantage of concealed identities to commit thefts and acts of vahdalism. ther public parties will be held in. some of the business communities, and police predicted that the streets of practically every community business center will be alive with brilliant costumes and laughing children.
* Vigilance Ordered
. Meanwhile, police, concerned with the more serious aspects of Halloween, have been ordered to be especially vigilant against property losses from vandalism. The week-end brought reports of many acts of vandalism, ranging from what might have been decidedly serious to small losses from broken windows and annoyances of scattered ashes and hurled tin cans. Two youths, 16 and 18, were arrested Saturday night on charges of malicious trespass, and two others, 15 years old, were taken to the Juvenile Crime Prevention Bureau for a prank that might have resulted in serious consequence, police said. They placed wooden bars across the doors of an East Side theater so that it was necessary to break down ‘the doors -from the inside to permit patrons to leave. A fire at that time would have caused a great loss of life and injury, police said. -

ASK SHELBY ST, TRACK RAISING
Civic League Leaders Fear ‘Squeeze-0ut’ Under Present Plans.
A request for inclusion of Shelby St. in the proposed South Side track elevation project was made today before the Works Board by the Track Elevation Committee, representing various South Side civic leagues. The Board at the delegation’s request directed City Engineer Henry B. Steeg to meet with the committee representatives at 2 p. m, Friday. Present elevation plans now under consideration by the Indianapolis Union Railway call for elevation of the track at Madison Ave. and Singleton and East Sts. only. Spokesmen for the South Side delegation told the Board that citizens in the Shelby St. district believe they will be “squeezed out” of sharing in the elevation for some time to come. Harry B. Dynes, one of the spokesmen and a committee member, said it was felt that if the board accepts the City’s offer to finance the railroad’s share of the costs for a 10-year-period, that Shelby St. would be unable to get elevation during that time unless Shelby St. were inoriginal program. ‘The South ‘Side group's request was signed by E.

Mr. Spencer said, after the r Precinct 6, Ward 15, began
checking the registration lists. Mr. Spencer said, “at least 20 registrations in that one precinct were found to be false.” : Informed of Mr. Spencer's announcement, Carl Vandivier, Republican County chairman, said:

they didn’t get a receipt for regis~ tration, they should take with them to the Clerk’s office any witnesses they may have. “I urge everyone in this situation to act promptly because we are informed by the registration clerk that we will have only until Tuesday evening to get these matters straightened out before they start making up the list to be used election day.” Mr. Vandivier commented that there is “not a single Republican working in the registration office as all the employes are Democrast cme ployed by the County Clerk.”
