FOUNDER'S DAY DINNER IS SET
Organizer’s Widow Here for
40th Anniversary of Institution.
The 40th anniversary of the founding of Flanner House, a Negro settlement institution, will be celebrated at the Central Y. W. C. A. tomorrow night with a dinner and program. The featured guest will he Mrs. Mary Flanner, widow of the founder. Here especially for the event from her home in California, Mrs. Flanner is scheduled to speak on ‘“‘Remarks.” Also on the program is Miss Katherine F. Lenroot, chief of the U. S. Labor Department’s Children’s Bureau, who will give the address of the evening, and a number of Flanner Houde musical organizations.
Tells Origin The Founder's Day Committee is composed of Harold B. West, chairman; W. Rowland Allen, Lionel F. Artis, R. L. Brokenburr, Louis E. Evans, Mrs. Rose Lee Farrell and Mrs. Henry E. Ostrom. Frank B. Flanner, Board president, will preside. Mrs. Flanner, seated in the home of her nephew who now is Board president, recalled today that Flanner House was founded after her husband, Frank W. Flanner, came into possession of property in the Negro district through a business deal. “I believe that sooner or later he would have done something for the Negroes, because he was always interested in them, but the possession of the property gave him a chance to do something right then and he did it,” Mrs. Flanner said. Is Playwright “He founded the house and deeded the property to the organization. For years he and a few of the fellow-founders were actively in-
o | terested in the work, saw that it was
going right, and frequently made unrecorded out-of-pocket contributions to it as financing problems arose.”
During her stay here, Mrs. Flan-
ner has organized classes at Flanner House in dramatics, which she teaches. She is a playwright and actress and has had much experience in amateur dramatics. Cleo W. Blackburn, the organiza~ tion’s executive director, will address the meeting on the subject, “Forty Years of Helpfulness.”

problem arises.” No ‘Sullivan Machine,’ He Says
On one point he is determined, and that is to have as little to do with politics as possible. “There isn’t going to be any ‘Sullivan machine’ while I am in office,” he said. “I'm not going to have any political machine and I'm not going to run the Democratic County ‘Committee. “I'm just going to stick to the business of running the City in the interest of the people. “I'm in favor of a hands-off policy in the next primary. I feel that anyone who wishes to run for office should have a fair opportunity to do so.” Mr. Sullivan said ‘he strongly favors the idea of a central tabulation of ballots to insure an accurate and fair canvass of the vote.
Cites Kentucky System
“It seems to me that we ought to push through the Legislature in January a bill providing that where paper ballots, instead of voting machines, are used, the ballots be counted publicly in a central place, like the Court House, as they do in Kentucky,” he said. . “They have a pretty good system there, but if there is anything better, let's have it. The people must have confidence in the primary, and it must be on the square.” Mr. Sullivan revealed that he went to Kentucky last spring to see how the Kentucky system worked. One of the first major civic problems he intends to look into after taking office is that of smoke prevention. “I want to get at the smoke problem and see what can be done about it,” he said. “I realize you can’t solve it in a day, but I am going to make an honest effort to correct the
“Look at that,” he added, pointing out the window to dense clouds of smoke pouring from several downtown stacks. “It’s a real handicap to the city.”
Discussing Municipal expenditures, thé Mayor-elect said the way to make Indianapolis grow is to have an economical administration. He paid tribute to the administration of Mayor Boetcher, declaring: “I've known Mr. Boetcher for 30 years and he is naturally thrifty. He doesn’t believe. in wasting, and neither do I.” He added, however, that he does believe in spending - ‘when we can get something for it.”
“Statutes Limit Operations”
“We need an orderly city,” Mr. Sullivan said. “We have to improve it all the time and make it appealing to outsiders. “There are some changes I would make in the City’s operation, if I could, but we are limited by the statutes. It would take legislation to make any major changes, and I don’t know what we can get passed in the next session. There probably will be some amendments proposed, but I am not prepared at this time to suggest what they may be.” Discussing track elevation, Sullivan commented: “I think it is very desirable if we have the money. You remember we did some elevation work in my first administration,

CLAIMS WORLD NEEDS CHRIST
Dr. Welch Says Pastors Are Failing to Furnish Religious Guidance.
Universities are filling the physical and mental needs of men but ministers are failing to give the needed spiritual teaching, Dr Charles Welch, general assembly moderator of the Presbyterian Church, told the Indianapolis Ministerial ‘Association today. Speaking at the Roberts Park M. E. Church, Dr. Welch said: “The World today is very lonely for the spiritual teaching of Christ. Our prisons are filled with thonsands nf men who have never had the spiritual guidance they so need. “To most of these men, no minister has ever said, ‘My son you should be a Christian.” Dr. Welch, who is pastor of the Fourth Avenue Presbyterian Church of Louisville is to speak at 7:30 o'clock tonight at a mass meeting at the Tabernacle Presbyterian Church. The annual moderator’s dinner at 6:30 p. m. is to follow the reception at the Tabernacle Church. Dr. Welch was the honored guest today at a luncheon at which the Presbyterian Ministerial Association and the Rev. Harry E. Campheli- were cohosts.
BODY OF GARY GIRL TO BE DISINTERRED
GARY, Dec. 5 (U. P.).—The body of Frieda Borman, 22, was to be disinterred today in a further effort by officials to learn the cause of the pretty girl's death, An open verdict was left in her death Nov. 3 when her body was found in a clump of bushes along a lonely road near Griffith. At the time, officials said an- examination of her body led them to believe she died of pneumonia after inhaling gas.
ments—I don’t know now what our program will be.” Mr. Sullivan said he hasn't made any definite appointments to City Hall positions yet. “I haven't made up my mind yet, and I probably won't have any announcements for two or three weeks,” he said. “I just got back from French Lick where I spent nine days just resting. “For some time I have been jotting down names on my list and studying them. I am studying only the major appointments now, and probably won’t get around to giving any thought to the minor jobs until

GUFFEY STIRS 30 TERM ROW
Pledges Pennsylvania 1940 Convention Votes to Roosevelt.
(Gallup Poll, Page 13)
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5 (U. P.)— Pennsylvania’s unexpected boom to renominate President Roosevelt in
1940 today threatened to involve the new Congress in a third-term debate
‘which would jar the Democratic :| Party from top to bottom.
Mr. Roosevelt was put forward to beat the “camouflaged fascism” of the Republican Party by Sen. Guffey (D. Pa.), a member of the Democratic National Committee and now undisputed Democratic leader of his
state. He fired the first big gun in
the 1940 campaign with this statement: “Pennsylvania was, is and will be for President Roosevelt, and Pennsylvania’s 72 votes at the next Democratic convention will be cas. to make him our standard-bearer in 1940. “The 1940 campaign will be the most momentous in the history of the nation. The issue will be the liberal democracy of Franklin D. Roosevelt versus the camouflaged fascism of powerful financial and industrial interests masquerading under the colors. of the Republican Party.” Some politicians interpreted Mr. Guffey’s statement as a maneuver to protect his powerful state delegation to the nominating convention against raids by “middle-of-the-road” candidates or other Democrats put forward by the conservative wing of the party. King Replies
So long as he and his delegates are pledged to Mr. Roosevelt, they remain comparatively safe from other pressure, and would be in a position to make the best available bargain if Mr. Roosevelt finally refused to permit his name to go before the convention in June 1940. . But if Mr. Guffey has undertaken to lead a draft-Roosevelt movement, it is believed that Congressional opposition will develop to stop him. Many political veterans were convinced last session that bitter thirdterm debate could not long be postponed, and that a resolution might be offered in 1939 to express the sentiment of either the House or the Senate in favor of the two-term tradition. “Senator Guffey is not the leader of the Democratic Party,” snapped Senator King (D. Utah) in reply to the third-term proposal. “The American people never have favored a third term, and all moves toward such an objective in the past have been abortive. Precedents set on this issue should be followed.” So far as could be determined today, Mr. Guffey raised the Roose-
velt third-term banner without con- | sulting Chairman Farley of the Denjocratic National Committee or the President. Mr. Farley has repeatedly said he does not know what Mr. Roosevelt plans to do. The chairman is believed to be ready to join in the movement to nominate
a mid-road conservative in 1940 any
time Mr. Roosevelt removes himself from the contest. Mr. Roosevelt occasionally has intimated an intention to retire after his [present term, but many persons closely associated with him have intimated, quite as strongly, that he may be forced to run again, either to vindicate the New Deal or in view of some such catasthrophe as war.
