HULL REPORTED 1940 FAVORITE OF HOUSE BLOC

Democrats Said to Place Him Above Farley and Garner.

By THOMAS L. STOKES Times Special Writer

WASHINGTIN, April 19.—Cordull Hull is _ today the outstanding Presidential favorite among House Democrats, according to a politician who is in constant touch with the membership. The Secretary of State is said to be much ahead of the two other candidates who have blocs of support in the House—Postmaster General Farley and Vice President Garner. Most of those who express a preference for the two latter, according to this politician's survey, say the Secretary's nomination would be satisfactory to them. One significant aspect of the informal canvass is that President Roosevelt's vote-getting ability is still highly regarded by practical politicians in the House. There are indications that if he chose to seek & third term, House Democrats would flock to his standard.

A compelling factor is said to be the realization by many House Democrats that the President's popularity has pulled them through in recent elections. They recognize that his coattail has been an effective vehicle.

Republicans Fear President

Also they have learned, in the frankness of cloakroom gossip, that Republicans fear Franklin D. Roosevelt of all possible Democratic nominees in 1920. But while the President has a staunch backlog of support among practical politicians who do not agree with him on some issues yet appreciate his vote-getting capacities, he has not succeeded in transferring his mantle to a typically New Deal candidate for 1940, so far as House Democrats are concerned. Little sentiment exists among the legislators for such men 2s Commerce Secretary Hopkins, Solicitor General Robert H. Jackson or Attorney General Murphy. A more conservative type is preferred.

Hull! Suits Both Wings

The reaction among House members discloses that Secretary Hull is looked upon as the candidate who could best satisfy both wings of the Democratic Party and therefore most likely to heal the breach which all recognize as an impediment to victory. Mr. Roosevelt, House politicians believe, could not turn Secretary Hull down, whereas the nomination of Vice President Garner might jead to an open break by the President. Among other advantages suggested in Mr. Hull's favor are that he has kept aloof from the bitter controversy over domestic issues which has rent the party during its incumbency, and therefore has not raised up the enemies made by other key figures in the Administration, He is regarded as a sort of middle of-the-roader.

RULING SOUGHT ON PARKING METERS

The Safety Board is preparing to ask the City legal department whether it will be possible to install | parking meters in Indianapolis, Leroy J. Keach, Safety Board president, said today. Several years ago the legal department decided that the meters were illegal on the grounds that the streets belonged to the public and the public could not be charged for their use. i “Since that time many state Su-, preme Courts have decided the par king meter is legal,” Mr. Keach said. “J have already had preliminary discussions with the Works Board and have briefly discussed this Sr the City Council members.” It has been estimated by advo- | cates of the system that the meters would give the City an income of from $15,000 to $100,000 a year. The City has already received of-| fers from several meter concerns for free installation of the meters and | their. free maintenance over a period of time. The City would | pay for the machines from a percentage of the collections.

Garner Runs Ahead of Senator Vandenberg In 'Trial Heat' for Race in 1940.

By DR. GEORGE GALLUP

Director, American Institute of Public Opinion. EW YORK, April 19.—If Vice President Garner were to run for President on the Democratic ticket against Senator Vandenberg on the Republican ticket, a majority of voters expressing a choice at this time say they would prefer Mr. Garner, according to a national survey by the American Institute of Public Opinion. In one of its series of “trial heats” between leading prospective

candidates for 1940, the Institute questioned a scientifically selected cross-section of voters of all parties in every section of the country as to how they would vote in a hypothetical race between the 71-year-old Texan and the Republican senior Senator from Michigan. While changes of sentiment are virtually inevitable between now and 1940, the attitude of voters on this particular race as of today is as follows. “If Garner runs for President in 1940 on the Democratic ticket and Senator Arthur Vandenberg runs against him on the Republican ticket which one do vou think vou would prefer?” The vote of those with opinions was: Garner Vandenberg Approximately one voter in every four expressed no opinion. & & 2 NE question which interests many political observers at this time is how many voters may shift party allegiance in the next election. The rate of shift will, of course, depend largely on what candidates are put up. Today's survey sheds light on how many 1936 Roosevelt voters would shift to Senator Vandenberg at this

come principally from the South and from the states along the Atlantic Coast and the Pacific Coast, whereas in the Middle West the race would" be nip-and-tuck. In the East Central States, which include Senator Vandenberg’s home state of Michigan as well as Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, the two candidates run neck-and-neck in the survey, and in the farm states immediately west of this section the result is likewise extremely close. Favor Vandenberg New England. ... 57% 43% Middle Atlantic. 54 46 East Central .... 50 50 West Central... 51 49 South . 22 Far West 39

In an earlier “trial heat” the Institute tested the sentiment of voters at this time on a Democratic ticket comprised of Mr. Garner for President and Postmaster General Farley for Vice President against a Republican ticket composed of Thomas E. Dewey for President and Senator Taft for Vice President. The result was a photo-finish, with Mr. Dewey and Mr. Taft slightly in the lead. They polled 52 per cent, against 48 per cent for the Gar-ner-Farley ticket.

Serves 5 Years for Crime Dickerson Confesses.

EFFERSON CITY, Mo., April 19 (U. p.).—Sherman Hodges will serve out his sentence in the Missouri penitentiary despite the fact that the man who said he was guilty of the crime for which Hodges was sentenced was captured in New York. Hodges smiled wryly when he heard today that Claude Dickerson, the “Dillinger of the Ozarks,” had been caught after a five-year chase. “When I was convicted in 1934 of robbing the Grandin, Mo., bank, Dickerson wrote the authorities that he—and not I—had robbed the bank,” Hodges said. “I've been here about five years —with good behavior I'll get out next February. I couldn’t get out any sooner if I had a new trial so I guess I'll stick it out. But when I do get out I'm going to try to get a full pardon and get my citizenship restored.”

time, and how many 1936 Landon voters would change parties to vote for the conservative Mr. Garner, if these two men happened to be the rival candidates. It shows that about one-fifth of the 1936 Roosevelt voters who express a choice in the survey would favor Senator Vandenberg, while aporoximately one-seventh of the 1936 Landon voters say they favor Vice President Garner. In other words, the proportion of shift would be slightly in favor of the Republicans.
