al Hopes Hinge on
‘Tuesday Elections
Dewey Most Spectacular G. O. P. Possibility for 40; McNutt Expected to Begin Seeking Delegates
After Return
From Manila.
By LEE G. MILLER . Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Nov. 4—The Fate of many a Presidential bee will - be affected by the election returns next Tuesday night. p= Among the Republican hopefuls, the most spectacular possibility is shat 36-year-old Thomas E. Dewey may win the New York Governorship—a springboard which has yielded some 14 Presidential nominations
If Mr. Dewey—“Sir Galahad,” as Harry L. Hopkins calls him—should unseat Governor Lehman and go on to the Presidential nomination and ' election in 1940, he would be inaugurated at 38—four years younger than Theodore Roosevelt, our youngest President to date, was at Mc- - Kinley’s death. _If he loses but makes a good showing, he still may be a potent possibility in 44 or later. The New York returns also will be important to the eventual White
l House aspirations, if any, of James
A. Farley and of those two New Deal insiders, Harry Hopkins and Solicitor General Robert H. Jackson. Mr. Farley rated No. 1 in several Presidential straw votes among Democrats a few months ago. Trial balloons for Messrs. Jackson and Hopkins as candidates for the New York Governorship were sent up last winter but grounded quickly.
Vandenberg an Aspirant
The Michigan returns will be important to the prospects of a leading Republican and a leading Demo- - crat—Senator Vandenberg and Governor Murphy. A recent cross-section survey by “Fortune” listed Mr. Vandenberg third (after the aging Senators Borah and Glass) among Senators “most admired” by the public. He undoubtedly is an aspirant for the nomination. Mr. Vandenberg himself is not up for re-election this year, but a Republican victory over Governor Murphy, who is seeking re-election, would enhance the Senator’s Presidential “availability.” = Mr. Murphy is being hard-pressed by the old-line Republican whom he unseated in 1936—former Governor Fitzgerald. Farmers and businessmen, still shaken by the auto sitdowns of 1937, are heavily against the Governor, who preferred mediation to armed action in the strike crisis. President Roosevelt, worried by the Michican situation, found a way to come to Governor Murphy’s aid last wecsk when he denounced as “gisurdly false” the charges made against the Governor before the Dies . Committes. If Mr. Murphy is re-elected, he wiil bzcome a Presidential possibility —though his Catholicism might be a drawback, as it might also he to Jim Farley and Ambassador Joe Kennedy. If Mr. Murphy loses, he . will be talked of as a Supreme Court pessibility—though Michigan is in a
--. circuit already represented on the
Supreme Court by Justices McReynolds and Reed.
Ohioans in Running
Pivotal Ohio, “mother of Presidents,” offers at least three possibilities. If Robert A. Taft unseats Senator Bulkley, the Republicans will have a famous name to conjure with. Mr. Taft is 49, the son of the late exPresident and Chief Justice, an able Cincinnati lawyer. Senator Bulkley was talked of as Presidential material some years ago, but his Washington service has been too undistinguished to sustain such discus= sion. ° The Ohio Governorship race offers two men of potential White House size—John W. Bricker (R) and Charles Sawyer (D). Secretary of Agriculture Wallace is regarded by many as a logical—and willing — Democratic nominee for 1940, but his political stature would be reduced if the Republicans carried his own state of Iowa next week, or if the “farm revolt” made notabie inroads at the polls in Kansas and other breadbasket states. In Kansas, for instance, the coauthor of the Farm Act, against which so many complaints are being heard, is in danger of being unseated—Senator McGill. (The other author, Senator Pope, lost out in the Idaho primary.) As for Iowa, Secretary Wallace cannily declined to stick out his neck in the ill-fated attempt to purge that State’s middle-of-the-road Senator Gillette in the primary, and he now is urging Senator Gillette’s re-election over ex-Sena-tor Dickinson, an Old Guard Republican if there ever was one. In Missouri, the size of Senator Clark’s vote for re-election may have a bearing on the Presidential boom of that unpurged son of the late Speaker Champ Clark, whose loss of the Presidential nomination to Woodrow Wilson in 1912 is still a chip on the son’s beefy shoulder. Senator Clark is regarded generally as the Presidential candidate ef Vice President Garner and other conservative Southerners, to say nothing of Kansas City’s Boss Tom Pendergast.
YanNuys Victory Expected
In Indiana, the expected re-elec-tion of Senator VanNuys will conclude the deal by which Mr. VanNuys, once exiled by the Indiana Democratic machine, finally was proffered a fatted calf instead of © castor oil—at the insistence of a . man in far Manila who hopes to be the next Democratic President. High Commissioner Paul V. McNutt is expected to return to Indiana in a - few months to start his search for + delegates. : : In Wisconsin the future of th “National Progressives of America,” ‘a new party launched last year by ‘Governor Phil La Follette with the “support of his brother, Senator Bob La Follette, is at stake in a hot election contest. Either of the La Follette brothers may be President someday, but that day will be deferred if the millionaire manufacurer, Julius P. Heil, Republican candidate for Governor, unseats Governor Phil. * Minnesota Republicans are rallybehind an even younger “new face” than Tom Dewey. This is Harold Stassen, 31-year-old farmborn prosecutor who is making a strong race to unseat Governor Bengon, the zealous Farmer-Laborite. Mr. Stassen (whom Governor Benan: calls a “drugstore cowboy”), is
a fine orator and cam-|| liberal k
PROTECTION FOR PARTY CLAIMED
Bart Says Townsend Has Guaranteed Communists Free Speech Right.
LAFAYETTE, Nov. 4 (U. P.). — Philip Bart, state secretary of the Communist Party, said last night that protection had been promised his party by Governor Townsend if it wishes to hold a meeting in
Bloomington, where it was denied permission to use the County Court House a few days ago. Although Mr. Bart previously had said a meeting would be held in Bloomington before the election next Tuesday, he has not announced a date or meeting place. Mr. Bart said he received a telegram from Governor Townsend stating that the matter had been turned over to the State Police and that if necessary the militia would be called out to guarantee the right of free speech and assembly. Mr. Bart said the Communists were “extremely gratified” by the Governor's prompt reply. “We feel the minority in Bloomington did not represent the true sentiments of the people there,” Mr. Bart said.
War Veterans
Form Organization
BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Nov. 4 (U. P.).—A group of war veterans’ organizations, whose members succeeded a few days ago in forcing the abandonment of a Communist meeting in the Court House here, today formed an organization designed to prevent Communist meetings on public-owned property: Col. T. J. Louden, Spanish-Amer-ican war veteran, was appointed by the veterans’ organizations to name a committee which will draw up incorporation papers for the new organization. Previously, the veterans reportedly received agreement from City, County and Indiana University authorities that use of their properties would not be allowed the Communist party.
Blansett to Speak In City Tonight
Miles Blansett, Communist candidate for U. S. Senator, will address a Marion County Communist rally at 7:30 o'clock tonight at the Walker Casino, Indiana Ave. and West St., Communist Party headquarters announced. The candidate will speak on “The Communist Position in the 1938 Elections.” Other speakers at the meeting are to include Wenzell Stocker, Communist candidate for Secretary of State, and Philip Bart, state secretary of the party. The meeting is open to the public. Mr. Blansett will speak over radio station WIRE at 11 p. m. tomorrow.
lent and scandal-scarred races are unlikely to produce White House timber. Governor Earle, the rich polo player who turned to politics a few years ago, was hailed at one time as a Democratic comer, but even if he is elected to the Senate over Senator Davis the odors of the recent Harrisburg charges and counter-charges are likely to cling te him, regardless of their merit or lack of merit. Pennsylvania’s Republican candidate for Governor, Judge Arthur H. James, has been mentioned as a possible 1940 nominee if he wins, but his association with the reactionary Pew-Grundy-Annenberg-Weir-Cooke machine and his refusal to resign his $18,000 judicial post while campaigning might make him too vulnerable for such advancement. His Democratic opponent, Charles Alvin Jones, is an untried newcomer to bigtime politics. Massachusetts is a State to watch, for a clue to the future fortunes of 36-year-old Senator Lodge (grandson of the late nemesis of Woodrow Wilson and the League of Nations). The eloquent Mr. Lodge is not up for re-election, but a governorship victory by another blueblooded Republican, Leverett Saltonstall, over the much-maligned but vote-getting ex-Governor Curley would boost Lodge stock. In a word, election day will write a lot of future history.

Child Bride, Mate Fight Annulment
SOUDERTON, Pa. Nov. 4 (U. P.)—Mrs. Frances Erb Souder, 13-year-old - bride, and her husband, Robert, 20, said today that they would fight any attempt by Mrs. Souder’s parents to have their marriage annulled. Mr. Souder, a WPA worker, and the young high school student said they were married Wednesday at Elkton, Md., by the Rev. C. M. Cope, who set a new record for the Maryland (Gretna Green” last month by officiating at ‘688 ceremonies. France’s older sister, Mirian, 17, and Martin Nace, 25, Perkasie clothing worker, were eloping to Elkton two days ago and asked the younger girl and Mr. Souder to accompany them. - “In the car going down to Elkton they were all talking about Mirian’s marriage,” the child bride said, “and as we got near there we got to saying how nice it would be if we could get married, too.” So they did.
SEC FINISHES STUDY OF INSURANCE FIRMS
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4 (U. P.)— The Securities and Exchange Commission completed a preliminary investigation of life insurance companies today. It will be ready to present evidence at public hearings of the monopoly study committee in January.
Experts of the SEC’s monopoly study division have analyzed approximately 385 questionnaires submitted to and returned by life insurance companies. The questionnaires, designed to disclose the corporated setup of the companies, were sent to 406 life insurance firms. All but about 35, who were given extensions of time, answered and returned them to the SEC by Oct. 1. The analysis will serve as the basis for further investigation. Most of the work, it was explained, will be done here. There will be little field investigation.
SEEK TO AID JEWISH EMIGRES
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4 (U.P.)— The Refugee Economic Corp., organized in 1935 to assist in the economic reconstruction of German Jews, intends to raise five million dollars through stock sales to finance settlement of Jewish emigres in Central America and the Argentine Republic, a prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission disclosed today.

{Heads of Carriers Expected

CHICAGO, Nov. 4 (U. P.).—Executives of 139 Class 1 railroads meet today to determine whether to withdraw or stand by their order for a 15 per cent wage reduction for 960,000 employees. If they persist, they will face a national strike Dec. 1. ; Observors close to the situation believed the carriers will call off the cut. They believed the railroads have no alternative in view of a report made last week by a Presidential fact-finding commission that a wage reduction in the in-

dustry is “unjustified” at the present time. In addition, it was reported unofficially that the railroads would abandon the order so that work may begin at once on a manage-ment-labor program for rehabilitation of the industry—a program which President Roosevelt said he will support in the next Congress. The brotherhoods voted several months ago to strike if the cut is put into effect. It is scheduled for 12:01 a. m., Dec. 1. The carriers had insisted that the cut, which would mean an estimated saving of $250,000,000 a year, was necessary to straighten
out the industry’s financial plight and to prevent ‘‘disaster.” the past few days, however, indica-
tions have been that they are will-|
ing to dismiss their plans for wage reductions in return for the promised aid from the Administration. Labor leaders have contended that the cut would do more harm than good and would serve only to start a spiral of wage reductions in others of the nation’s industries.

Price List Bared in Los
$1 ‘PEEKS’ AT CVIL SERVICE LIST CHARGED
Angeles as Fitts Presses Corruption Fight.
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 4 (U. P.).— The latest revelation in the city’s civil service scandal today was a price list indicating that men paid $1 a minute for advance peeks at examinations for policemen and firemen. : District Attorney Buron Fitts said the prices were those charged at a “Civil Service Mill” set up in a downtown office by a man who had
powertul City Hall connections. The te :

If you didn’t think you could pass the examination after one look, you could come back and buy another $5 worth. $250—For a complete copy of the questions and answers, to be meme orized before the applicant took the Civil Service test. $500—The de luxe offer, assuring that the buyer was placed high on the Civil Service list and in direct line for the job he wanted.
Copies Mimeographed There were connections with a salary loan company from which the applicant could borrow the price of a $250 set of questions and answers by paying a $50 bonus for the loan. Glenn Gravatt, discharged former
Civil Service manager, faces charges of altering Civil Service records. He told Mr. Fitts that a high city official forced him to “play ball with us—or get bounced.” :
