Indiana Survey Planned As High Court Hears Party Arguments.

By DANIEL M. KIDNEY' Times Staff Writer

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1. — Provision for financing the effort to unseat Senator VanNuys may be included in the Republican National Committee’s 1939 budget, G. O. ‘P. headquarters here reported today.

Final decision depends upon a survey to be conducted in the state, the results to be submitted here, ac-

,|cording to an agreement reached at

a conference yesterday. The Indiana cause for a Senate contest, designed to show that the Republican Raymond Willis and not Democratic Senator VanNuys was clected Nov. 8, was presented by Will G. Irwin, Republican National Committeeman from Indiana. John D. M. Hamilton, national chairman, advised the state survey as being the best way of obtaining data for final action and it was agreed that such facts should be submitted from both Indiana and Iowa. The latter state also was represented at the meeting.

4 Judges Ask Lifting-of Ban on Recounts

The Indiana Supreme Court today was asked by Republican candidates seeking recounts in seven counties to dissolve its temporary orders restraining the recounts and hear oral arguments. Judges of the Circuit Courts in four of the seven counties, restrained from proceeding with the recounts, also asked that the order be dissolved. The responses asked that an early date be sef for the oral arguments. Today #was the final date set by the high court for the Circuit Court judges to answer the writs. . Responses were in behalf of Raymond E. Willis, candidate for U. S. Senate, defeated by Senator Frederick VanNuys, and all Republican state candidates except James M. Tucker, Paoli, who was elected Secretary of State. The responses were prepared by the G. O. P. legal staff, headed by Robert B. Armstrong, Indianapolis attorney.

Two Orders Issued

One of the temporary restraining orders was issued on behalf of Senator VanNuys, who claimed that the U. S. Senate had sole right to pass on its membership. One was issued on behalf of the state Democratic candidates, who charged it would be unfair to recount seven counties and not the others.

The responses alleged that the Democratic allegations should have been made later, if at all, in election contest proceedings. Contest proceedings in the case of Senator VanNuys would be in the U. S. Senate and in the cases of state officers would be in the Indiana House of Representatives.

Respondents Listed

The response on behalf of Mr. Willis said in part: “. . . This respondent (Mr. Willis) further shows to the court that the right of this respondent to file said petition for recount and the right of this respondent to have said petitions granted and said recounts made according to the prayer thereof exists under statutes of the State of Indiana, passed by the General Assembly of said State, pursuant to the provisions of Art. 1, Sec. 4, Clause 1, of the Constitution of the United States, which provides as follows: “ ‘The times, places and manner of holding elections for Senators and Representatives shall be prescribe in each State by. the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by law make or alter such regulations, except as to the places of choosing Senators.’ ” Judges of the Circuit Courts who responded were John W. Spencer Jr. Vanderburgh County; G. Edward Bingham, Vermillion County; T.

Rich Girl Irene Brown Gets

$3785 for Champion Bull That Cost $60.

HICAGO, Dec: 1 (U.P.).—Irene Brown, 14-year-old Aledo, Ill, High School sophomore, the first girl in history to show the Grand Champion steer of the International Livestock Exposition, sold him today for $3.35 a pound to the Firestone Tire and Rubber Co. of Akron, O., at the highest price paid for an Exposition champion since 1929. Miss Brown bought the bull last January and raised him virtually as a household pet in connection with a 4-H Club livestock feeding project. She paid only $60 for him, Since then: he s eaten about $80 worth of ttening foods. When sold, today he weighed 1130 pounds, bringing her $3785.50. Miss Brown said she would use the money to continue her 4-H Club work during her remaining two years in high school and to finance a college education. She hasn’t chosen her college yet, but believes she will take a commercial course.

ANTHONY EDEN DU IN U. S. NEXT WEEK

LONDON, Dec. 1 (U. P)—Anfhony Eden, former foreign secretary, booked passage today aboard the French Liner Normandie which

sails for the United States from Southampton Saturday. He will reach New York Dec. 8 to make a speech there. Lord Halifax, commenting on the visit during debate in Parliament, said: “Eden is - going to the United States not as a. Cabinet minister but with the fullest assent and approbation of the British Government. I have no doubt but that his visit will be extremely valuable in establishing contacts.”

G-MEN’S AID ASKED IN HUNT FOR GIRL

Father Fears Two Truckmen Slew Daughter. .g

‘(Continued from Page One)

Brown, nearly prostrated by her daughter's kidnaping, appealed to the abductors by radio not to harm “my girl.” Over local radio stations she broadcast a description of Mary and asked “everyone to please watch cut for her.” Then to the abductors

{she said:

“If you are listening to me, I implore you—send my daughter back to me unharmed.”

Two Suspects Grilled

Two men arrested in Washington last night were virtually cleared by the girl's sister. She was unable to identify them as the men who dragged her sister into a lightbodied truck and drove off in the direction of the capital. Although Lucy could not identify the suspects, they still were being held in Washington. A third man, arrested about 2 a. m. (Indianapolis Time) also was held. While the father conferred with FBI officials, Lucy again was taken by state police to headquarters to view prisoners picked up early today. Police admitted, however, that they held no likely suspects. The girls were returning from Notre Dame Academy in Washington shortly after 3 p. m. yesterday. A small delivery truck stopped beside them on the country road, Lucy ‘said, and two men offered them a ride. “We told them no,” she told police. “We said we just had a litie iid to go and would rather Ww 8, .

Heard Mary Scream

The truck drove on a short way, an dthen turned and came back. Both men jumped out. ’ “They didn’t say a word,” she said. “I ran into some bushes near the road and kept running. I heard Mary screaming and looked back. Both men had grabbed her and were throwing her into a truck.” Lucy, near collapse when she reached home, could give only a general description of the men. She said they were “big and rough looking.” : : The truck, she said, had no lettering on it, but had a license which she did not believe was issued either by the District of Columbia or Maryland. . All trucks of the type described were being stopped by police and their drivers questioned. Mary is next to the eldest of six children in the Brown family, which has lived on a farm near here for 15 years. : Yesterday was the first time the girls had walked home from Oxon Hill. Usually they were met by their stépmother. But arriving in the center of this small suburb of Washington, they noted that Mrs. Brown’s car was parked in front of the family doctor’s house. They decided to start. walking, expecting their stepmother to pick them up farther along the road. They had arrived within a quarter mile of home when Mary was kidnaped. : Mary is an attractive brunette girl of average height with ddrk eyes. She and her sister have been going for some time to Notre Dame convent where they attended its high school classes. Lucy also is a brunette and, although much smaller, looks like her sister, The other children range from age 20 to 1% years. All but the youngest, Michael, are the children of Brown's first wife who died several years ago.

PETITION SEEKS -HALT IN SERVICE

The Pennsylvania Railroad today filed a petition with the Indiana Public Service Commission asking permission to discontinue its two passenger train schedules between Indianapolis and Vincennes. A similar petition was denied earlier when residents in the territory served by the trains suggested that a change in the schedules would make the line profitable, and the railroad was ordered to change them. In another petition, the railroad asks permission to abandon its non= agency station at Center, in Howard

Moral Rearmament Needed, He Says, at Inauguration As I. U. President.

has not known for centuries. This display of barbarism might cause timid souls to doubt the very concept of human progress. : ‘“Never was the university’s re sponsibility for the development of character of greater significance than at the present hour. If the rising tide of intolerance and hatred is to be arrested before it engulfs the world, there must be, in the words of a group of eminent Englishmen, ‘moral rearmament’ of all people. : “For the moral regeneration of the city, state and nation, and, consequently, the solution of many of our most pressing problems, lies in the regeneration of the individual.” “Our public school system is our great bulwark of liberty, Without liberty there can be no security worthy of the name. A slave may have the security of food and shelter for transitory periods, but always his very existence is subject to the whim of some master. That is not the security for which the American people strive. ‘Has to Be Born Anew’ I would not suggest that the student be indoctrinated with a given set of principles but rather that he understand the philosophical basis for democracy—an understanding that encompasses not only its benefits, but its weaknesses as well. Democracy need not depend for acceptance upon a bureau of propaganda, which uses evasion, halftruths and distortion. It is the one system of government about which the truth can be told to win the

compatible men. . . ‘ “There has been a little too much tendency on the part of our people to accept democracy as a priceless possession won by our ancestors, to be handed to members of the present generation on a silver platter without effort or thought on their part. Nothing could be further from the truth. As John Dewey has said: ‘Democracy has to-be born anew every generation, and education is the midwife.’ : 8 “We are entering a period when the traditional position of importance to education may be challenged. Economic and social conditions are such that many demands made upon the public purse will be motivated by the very commendable desire to increase the security of our people. It would be foolhardy to relegate education to a secondary position in public responsibility, since that action would cripple an instrumentality for making security.” In outlining his policies for administration of the university, President Wells said: “The first has to do with the faculty. Great teachers beget great men. The minds of scores of the next generation's leaders may be moulded by a single teacher. We must keep, within our borders and on this campus, the mighty constructive forces of the ideas of renowned scientists and scholars.

‘Must Keep Pace’

“I$ is necessary that our administration machinery and pedagogical procedure keep pace with the changing tempos of new ideas in the arts, the sciences and the professions. We have recognized that need and for several months a faculty committee has been making an analysis of administrative and teaching methods. “It is hoped that its recommendations will furnish the basis for changes in the university organization and policy to facilitate the work of teachers and students. “Though the contemporary problems facing the university be many and grave, they need not discourage us. The resources available for their solution are vast. Cognizant of these rich resources, heartened by the achievements already won in more than a century of distinguished service to state and nation, we face

“While fixing of the levy at 96 cents will call for certain drastic readjustments., we can hope with these readjustments accomplished to carry out the general program of operation and building for the school year.” Dana Webster, president of the Citizens Tax Protest Committee, said he had no comment to make on the action of the Board, and that he did not know what action, if any, the committee would seek to take. Harry Mie retary of the InGiana Taxpayers Association, was out of the City and could not be reached for comment. The board also yesterday approved the Civil City rate of $1.30 on each $100 of taxable property. It restored an appropriation of $4000 for installation of two-way police radios which did not change the rate. School officials had asked for complete restoration of the 3 cents lopped off by the County Board. A. B. Good, business manager of the

schools, concurred with Mr. Morgan
