resignation of Felix McWhirter as treasurer of the State Repub-

week in a Bloomington Daily Telephone editorial written by B. W. Bradfute, a Republicna. The editorial reads in pant: “For several weeks the people of Indiana have been expecting to hear of the resignation of Mr. McWhirter as treasurer of the Republican State Central Committee . . . “When Mr. McWhirter took to letter writing and got himself

” ”® ” NE of the biggest Democratic organization meetings of the year will be held at the Claypool Hotel on Sunday .afternoon, July 30. State Chairman Fred F. Bays has sent letters in an urgent tone to 184 county Democratic chairmen and vice chairmen, asking each to :be there without fail. The meeting is designed as a sounding maneuver to detect any new hints of factionalism in the state machine which has een declared the “smoothest since 1932.” The county chairmen will be told what the State organization expects of them next year and the State Committee will, in turn, promise aid for the counties in distress.
A demand by several State Republican leaders that the State headquarters staff “get busy at
once with some colorful campaign’
activities,” disclosed that lack of money is holding up the ballyhoo parade.
So State Chairman Arch N. 3 Bobbitt assigned Carl Ogle, party -
publicity man, to get out and beat
the bushes for gold instead of.
votes for the time being.
Mr. Bobbitt told the Committee - that the party coffers may ‘lie
filled up enough by September ‘fo start the campaign ball rolling. 3 ® 2

Burch, former State Highway Commission chairman, “wants to run for Governor.” Mr. Burch was defeated twice in the race for mayor of Evansville.

ASHINGTON, July 22 — When the report reached Washington this week that Clarence A. Jackson, Indiana’s Unemployment Compensation director, was coming here to aid Federal Security Administrator Paul V. McNutt, Chairman Arthur J. Altmeyer and his Social Security Board. staff are alleged to have broken out in a cold sweat. For Mr. Jackson is the leader of all the state director opposition to Security Board policies and never has come to. town without having a first class row with Ir. Altmieyer over the matter. A businessman’s type of administrator, who plays closely with the Chamber of Commerce crowd, Mr. Jackson frankly scoffs at some of the social idealism and what he terms impracticability of “these New Dealers.” ‘So his arrival here is anticipated with deep foreboding by Mr. Altmeyer’s organization. Nevertheless, the new Federal Administrator feels'that the man he picked to head his Tax Division while he was Governor of Indiana has something to offer which will be of abiding value here. . Mr. McNutt is determined to make a record and one of the first steps likely will be putting some economy into the Security Board. They are said to have a staff of 90 lawyers there-‘now trying to make it work. Mr. Jackson’s idea always has
‘been to put the states on the
job and not centralize power in Washington. He has cited duplications .of effort wherein three ‘governmental departments are involved in carrying out some of the program and all complicate the problem for business. One of his pet peeves has been the Unemployment Service, which is under Mr. McNutt’s jurisdiction now. A drastic change may be brought aboyt under the Indiana Plan as established by Mr. Jackson. Increasing economy and effi< ciency in any of the governmental setups under the new Federal Security Agency would rebound to

That Mr. Farley himgelf has been greatly perturbed by his present position in relation to the White House he has confided to friends. Something may be done to bring about a showdown on the situation when he returns from a scheduled trip to Europe, these friends say. Although he still holds his two top political jobs as National Democratic Chairman and New York State Democratic Committee chairman, Mr. Farley’s loss of leadership, as well as the complete lack of it among Democrats on Capitol Hill, was well reflected in the Hatch BIlll fight. The National Committee commenced putting the heat on Congressmen to emasculate the bill, but what happened? On the night of the big fight,
"Rep. Joseph W. Martin Jr. had
his Republicans 'in their ‘seats popping up and down like well trained troops and they rewrote the bill on the floor, inserting the Dempsey amendment to which the Farley forces had objected. ” ” 2 True, they had about 10 ver cent Democratic support and these men

stayed on the floor and fought shoulder to shoulder with the G. O. P. to make the bill mean what Senator Hatch (D. N. M.) had intended. . But many of the “machine Democrats” were not on the floor as crucial tast votes were taken. An outstanding example was Rep. William L. Schulte (D. Ind.), who bragged that he was for preserving the patronage system and against the whole Hatch Bill idea.
Rep. Schulte never showed up
and missed all of tlw important votes in the Committee of the Whole House. On the final roll calls he was listed as having a general pair with Rep. Marcellus H. Evans (R. N. Y.).

EP. GEORGE W. GILLIE (R. Ind.), the Ft. Wayne veterinarian, gets about the best publicity in the Congressional Record and here is how. His secretary, Charles A.

So into the Record go clippings from that paper with such headlines as “Victory for Gillie,” with stories telling how the Congressman triumphed in this or that fight. Such services are not banned by

Senator Minton (D. Ind.), who once introduced a bill to make newspapers print nothing but the truth, has discovered one newspaper which he really likes. It is the Corydon Democrat, published for 30 years by Lew O’Bannon.
