DIRECT PRIMARY LUDLOW'S GOAL
Congressman Believes Next
Legislature Will Revive System.
Times Special ' WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.—That the direct primary for State offices and the United States Senatorship . Will be restored in Indiana by the 1939 Legi: lature was predicted here today by Rep. Louis Ludlow. ‘Mr. Ludlow, who for the sixth time led the Democratic ticket in Marion County and now is dean of the Hoosier Democrats in. Congress, ‘expects to do all he can to aid in such restoration, he said. He fought repeal of the primary law in letters to the Indiana Legislature in 1934 and this year wrote a letter to the Democratic State Convention urging that it go on record for restoration of the complete direct primary system.
« --. Party Bosses Blamed “The veteran Indiana Congress-
man ‘believes that the party primary
system best represents the demo-
cratic aspirations of the people and |
that repeal was. put over only by bipartisan’ action of the party bosses, he said. “I'am polling the Governors of all _ the 48 states to learn their opinion regarding the direct primary,” Mr. “The letters which I have thus far received in answer to my inquiry show that most states have the primary system and consider it much more successful than the convention with its boss-rule. “When I was in Indianapolis I had a long talk with Senator E. Curtis White, Democratic majority leader in the State Senate, and he told me that the primary will be restored, in his opinion, and that even a Republican House of Representatives will be for such restoration.”
Farm Bureau Aid Hailed

it boils down to the people vs. the professional politicians and 1 am sure the people will win.” : Mr. Ludlow declined to say whether or not he will seek the Democratic nomination for Senatqr should the primary be restored in Indiana, but if conditions are the

‘Oscar’ Teaches
lock Holmes.
Capt. Eckert
A Thing or Two About Crime
By TOM OCHILTREE Capt. Walter Eckert returned to his post at State Police headquarters this week with a deeper sympathy for college students facing final examinations and added respect for the crime detection methods of Sher-
He said he developed these attitudes in Washington during the ‘last restoration it just seems to me that three months while attending the National Police Academy conducted by
‘the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
There wasn’t any Dr. Watson at®
this school, but there was Oscar, who had a large wardrobe. and a tendency to get in all sorts of scrapes. In the course dealing with practical application of scientific crime 1 detection, Oscar, a ‘clothing store dummy, was always the victim. The students, Capt. Eckert explained, would find Oscar in a disarranged apartment, on a lonely country lane or in an abandoned barn, and he was always surrounded by clues. It was up to the class then to figure out who the “suspect” was and to make an “arrest.” : “Sometimes we found threads from a man’s coat hanging on bushes, and subjected them to chemical analysis to determine the culprit,” he said. “Oscar’s doublebreasted coat was a clue in one case, but none of us tumbled to that one (and had to solve it & harder way. “Men always button a double breasted coat on the right side, and the coat Oscar had on that day was
‘buttoned on the left side, the way
a woman does it. “That would have let us know what sex to 100k for, but my group didn’t see this clue. We did crack the problem though. That was the way the school operated; you worked at a case until you solved it.”
Many of these imaginary cases in which Oscar took part were taken from files of the FBI. Sometimes the class worked on sand tables on which miniature sections of a countryside were laid out.
Sand table problems, he said, dealt with ways to blockade roads against bank robbers or surround and enter a house and capture armed men. The students, who came from police departments in 28 states, also worked in the -laboratory and attended classroom lectures.
Capt. Eckert said he filled five big loose leaf note books. The classes lasted from 9 a. m. to 6 p. m. six days a week. “After you finally transcribed your notes by midnight, the rest of the night was yours,” he said.
And all this is what leads him to sympathize with college students, but he is doing this sympathizing in a minor key. He has a daughter in Franklin College, and he wants her to be well up in her studies. As for Sherlock Holmes, Oscar proved the value of some of his methods, but in addition the school taught scientific crime detection which would have amazed even the English sleuth. “Such things as ordinary writing paper are important clues to the scientific crime detective,” he said. “The FBI can tell you what the paper is made of, who made it and what part of the country it, comes from, by analyzing its fibers and comparing them with its charts. “When we first came to Washington, we were given a practical problem to work out. A similar problem was given before we left, and we all got a surprise,” he said. “There was quite a difference between our approach to the first problem and the way we unraveled the second one.”
item. SAYS GOODBY, KILLS SELF Times Special : _ SOUTH BEND, Nov. 22 —Less than a minute after he had kissed his sister goodby, Fred Gray, 25, of near Argos, shot himself in the right temple. He died two hours later. His sister, Mrs. Edward Hostetler, found a note, reading: “Goodby, sis, I'm going home now. Left note. Get in touch with Mildred . . . I loved her so much I couldn't go on without her.”

CIVIL LIBERTIES ‘AID DENOUNGES INQUIRY BY DIES
Chaillaux ‘Misinformed’ Mayflower Society.
“The Dies Committee will go the
of recent years,” Mrs. Lucille B. Milner, American Civil - Liberties Union secretary, said today. Mrs. Milner has been in Indianapolis conferring with members ‘of the Indiana Civil Liberties Union.
laux, Americanism director of the American Legion, had misinformed the Society of Mayflower Descendants regarding the worth of the Dies Committee “I am gratified to see that Mr. Chaillaux has become one of the stanch supporters of the Bill of Rights, and that he has urged the society to take upon itself the responsibility for the ‘preservation of the American form of government . + « and individual liberty.’
Charged With Slandering
“Both Mr. Chaillaux and the Society have been slow in recognizing the need for this. ? “The Dies Committee has spent its time slandering the progressive labor movement, the liberal groups and the New Deal. Every real friend of civil liberty has been attacked and not a single person who has requested a hearing before the committee to refute the false charges has been permitted to testify. . “Mr. Dies, in a radio broadcast, attacked the American Civil Liberties Union and when the .general counsel for the organization, Arthur Garfield Hays, wired Mr. Dies for an opportunity to be heard in reply, no invitation was forthcoming. “Public funds have been wasted to cover the front pages of the newspapers with charges made by prejudiced witnesses, charges which were already widely circulated even before the Dies Committee began its horseplay.”
