WHALE DENIES - NUTT WANTS
Candidate for Presidency|
Only, Wisconsin Party Leaders Hear.
MADISON, Wis, Aug. 17 (U. P.). =—Paul V. McNutt is running for President and will not accept a Vice Presidential nomination, Frank McHale, Democratic National Committeeman for Indiana and campaign manager for the former Hoosier Governor, declared here. “Were running him just for President,” Mr. McHale told Wisconsin Democratic leaders with whom he conferred last night on a 16-state’ tour of “making McNutt known.” 2 “We are predicating our campaign on Roosevelt not running for a third term,” = Mr. McHale said. “We don’t think he will. When Roosevelt announces his intention

will have our candidate already known. >
Goés to Minnesota
“Mr. McHale spoke at length last night to a meeting of Democratic Senators and Assemblymen and state leaders of the Young Democrats. Afterward he cofiferred with a smaller group, parrying questions on chances of Mr. McNutt and the Democratic Party in 1940. He said he was not trying to line up dele-
gates to the 1940 Democratic con-
vention on this tour. Mr. McHale left today for Minnegota, where he said he would confer with. State Democratic leaders at St. Paul. From St. Paul his itinerary includes Fargo, N. D. westward to Washington, and a swing south which will have covered 16 states by the time he returns to Indianapolis Sept. 22.
Democrats Conte First
“McNutt has a lot of good will and is very well liked every. place I have been,” Mr. McHale said. “We're fairly certain of him in the Middle West, the West and some of the East.” Regarding Southern states, he said, “Well, Mrs. McNutt is a native of San Antonio, Tex, and he has
» spoken and has supporters in every
state of the union.” Mr. McHale said he had made no overtures to the Progressive Party here because such a move would be far too premature. After all, he said, what he seeks first is the Democratic nomination. After Mr. McHale’s visit, Democrats who met him expressed themselves as “quite favorably imPeessed” by him and his description of McNutt, but insisted that they still were noncommittal concerning who would get the Wisconsin delegation vote at the national convention.
McNutt Silent
On Vice Presidency
WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 17.— Paul V. McNutt never has said whether or not he might accept the Vice Presidential nomination on a Roosevelt third term or any other sort of Democratic ticket setup, it was pointed out at this office today. The Federal Security Adminis] trator himself declined to commen on a Madison, Wis., dispatch which stated that Frank McHale, his Presidential campaign manager, had disclosed there that Mr. McNutt would not accept a Vice Presidential nomination. There were no direct quotations
from Mr. McHale to justify such)
a story it was pointed out. | Since Mr. McNutt accepted the assignment. of heading the Federal Security Agency, with jurisdiction .over what has been termed “the heart of the New Deal,” political commentators here have considered it likely that he would also accept second place on the ticket if President Roosevelt seeks a third term. But Mr. McNutt remains mum on the subject and only says that he is out to do his present job well.

GASOLINE PRICE STARTS UPWARD
Premium Grade Is Boosted Eighth of Cent, Third Grade One-Quarter of Cent.
TULSA, Okla., Aug. 17 (U. P.).— Gasoline prices started up today as a result of shutdown orders invoked on oil wells in six big states—Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas and New| Mexico. The price of premium grade gasoline was boosted % of a cent a gallon by midcontinent refiners and an increase of 14 cent a gallon was put into effect on third-grade fuel. The price upturn which included the kerosene market in' West Texas, originated with small refiners who had meager supplies of crude oil on hand to operate their plants and no immediate prospects of getting more. Approximately 80 per cenf of the nation’s oil supplies come from six affected states, but the shutdown was not 100 per cent effective. The Lion Oil Refining Co. of El Dorado, Ark., defied the shutdown order issued by the Arkansas Oil and Gas Commission and continued to produce in its Shuler Field near there. : The shutdown order was effective at 7 a. m., but was ignored in the Shuler Field. Several hundred wells continued in operation. Simultaneously Jeff Davis, attorney for the company, prepared to file suit for both a temporary and permanent injunction ‘in Union County Chancery Court to prevent the state from enforcing its order.

SHIP LAUNCHES SELF; ONE KILLED, 20 HURT
BELFAST, Northern Ireland, Aug. 17 (U.. P.).—One person was killed, 20 injured and a major disaster narrowly averted. today when the 23,000-ton British aircraft carrier Formidable broke away and launched itself. Dozens of workmen scrambled for safety as the vessel tore its cradle to pieces and moved down the slipway unsupported, threatening ot topple on thousands close under its sides. Mrs. Mary Kirk, wife of a shipwright’s driller, was killed by fiying timber. Lady Kingsley Wood, wife of the British Air Secretary, who arrived on the launching platform just as the Formidable broke away, barely had time to smash a bottle of British Empire wine across its bows.

‘We Don’t Want Moochers,’ He Declares; Some Growers Defend Workers.
(Continued from Page One)
we find them sleeping out, even if they have jobs, we're going to pull them in.” Some Criticize Sheriff
However, there are a good many people in the county who believe that the Sheriff has been too severe this year with the southern-states workers, who have fof years counted Indiana harvest field work as a part of their annual income. Not since the Indiana relief laws were tightened, they said, have whole ‘families immigrated to the state with the expressed intent of settling. Nearly all of the 800 to 1000 persons from seven or eight states who were'in the County, according to the Sheriff, are lone men who intended to return home after the work is done. A good many farmers disputed the Sheriff’s statement that the immigrant workers have depressed the field wage levels, too, and thus made the jobs unprofitable for local unemployed.
Grower Defends Workers
“We couldn't get our tomatoes harvested if it weren’t for the outside workers,” Cecil Clore, Bargersville tomato grower, said. “For the most part these fellows are nice, clean, hardworking lads who are paid what we farmers think is fair. We wouldn't pay more if they were not here and we wouldn't pay less it there were twice as many.” Mr. youths picking his 18-acre late field. Two of them had been there the year before. They set up housekeeping in three brooder houses, cooked their own meals and kept spic and span house. - They said they make about $3 a day each at picking and they had a car to take them home when the harvest is over, about a month from now. “Of course,” Mr. Clore adraitted, “there is an undesirable element that drifts north along with the workers. And there are petty thefts and occasionally some drunken brawls. But then, we have them occasionally when the harvest season isn’t on. I think Sheriff Pangburn has gone too far in this.” The wife of a prominent businessman added her voice in protest
said someone should take up the battle for the workers and pointed out that the seasonal immigration to the harvest fields is not new and very possibly is indispensable.

terest -to the novel, “The Grapes of Wrath,” which is about dispossessed cotton sharecroppers and their harsh treatment by police of Cali-
-| fornia, where they went to harvest
fruit. And they also pointed out that the situations are not very similar, since the migrants to the Indiana fields generally are not dispossessed and intend to return to their homes after picking up what wages they
|can.
The Hougland Packing Co. for instance, has a “hotel” at the side of the plant—a large dormitory where cots and mattresses are furnished the workers free. Many of the workers take rooms for the: season, and still others move in with relatives or friends. In past years some of the workers parked their cars along streams on the outskirts of the city and made camp there for the season, but no such camp was to be seen today. The Sheriff said this was due to his warnings.
Seventy Arrests Made
Many of the full-time employees at the County's six canning factories said there seemed to be no greater labor supply this year than in other years and said that the labor supply had nothing to do with the factory wage levels, which are around 30 cents an hour. Persons in charge of factories said they make every effort to employ local persons first and immigrants next. : Meanwhile; ‘about 70 persons have been arrested in the drive. Most of them have been given days on the State Farm on charges ranging from drunkenness to petty thefts. The 18 now in Sheriff Pangburn’s jail complain little, seem a {trifle bewildered at winding up in jail when they were looking for work, and wonder what will happen next.
WOMAN ACGUSED OF NEWSSTAND THEFT

at the southeast corner of Meridian;
and Washington Sts. G. B. Sutton, 2956 Park Ave., employed by the Florsheim Shoe Co., and Peter Larsen, 16 N. Walcott St. who operates a news stand at the northeast corner of the -intersection, had been watching the woman for the past 10 days, Mr. Sutton said. Mr. Larsen said he had seen her take some papers from his stand. Seeing her near the Larsen stand this morning, the two men followed her across Washington St. Mr. Sutton saw her take the money, seized her and called police. The woman, who refused to give her name, was middle-aged and poorly dressed, Mr. Sutton said.

MURPHY PLACED
AT BUND RALLY
Attorney General But Gave No Praise, Kuhn Testifies.
(Continued from Page One)
the Bund sent delegates to the “American Christian Conference” in
Kansas City Aug. 20, 1937 to form such a united front. Today Kuhn denied that the Bund had delegates there. Kuhn’s first objection was to a question whether the membership of his brother Max on the German Supreme Court had anything to do with his appointment. Kuhn als declared that 0 was unfair for Mr. Whitley to say that part of the $3000 he handed to Adolf Hitler in 1936 for German “winter relief,” came from unemployed in America receiving Federal Government money. He denied that the Bund’s “O.D.” (Orderly Division) was patterned after the Nazi storm troops. When shown a picture of the swastika 1iying at a Bund camp in New Jersey, he said the American flag also was flown but not photographed.
“Hopes So” Letters Destroyed
Shown a photocopy of a receipt signed by him in 1937, saying “for the fifth year of our battle,” Kuhn
| said this did not mean the fifth year
of Hitler's battle, but the fifth year of the German-American elements’ fight against “persecution” by American citizens. He denied that the Bund posts corresponded with Germany. Rep. Dies asked him if the Chicago post had destroyed its papers showing communications with Germany. “I hope so they did!” Kuhn shouted. “Why did you order them destroyed?” " “Because you didn’t give us a fair play. I must have a lawyer. I must have legal advice.” He repeated his demand ‘for an attorney a few minutes later after a question by Rep. Joe Starnes (D. Ala), with whom Kuhn almost clashed yesterday.
Waives Counsel
Rep. Starnes had questioned him today about a Bund contest in which the first prize was a trip to Germany, the third prize a shortwave radio which Rep. Starnes said was for receipt of short-wave broadcasts from Germany. After the morning session Kuhn asked Mr. Whitley if he -would be permitted a . lawyer. Mr. Whitley said that would delay the hearings for three or four days. Kuhn then said, “Well, I don’t think the committee is legal anyway and if the committee will be fair I won't need a lawyer.” Yesterday’s clash came when Rep. Starnes suggested that the Bund sought to establish the present German form of government in the United States. “That's an absolute lie!” Kuhn shouted. Rep. Starnes leaped to his feet and cried: You can’t call me a liar?”
Police Prevent Fight
He moved toward the stocky Bund leader, pushing through photographers, but a Capitol policeman seized his arm. Another moved to restrain Kuhn. Chairman Martin Dies (D. Tex.) persuaded Rep. Starnes to sit down. Kuhn explained that «National Socialism is fitted only for Germany. The philosophy of the National Socialist movement cannot possibly be brought within the framework of a nation like the United States. Kuhn exchanged bitter words with
| Rep. Starnes and Rep. Noah Mason,
(R. Ill.) when they described his organization as “a money-making racket.”

The County Council has received the county = departmental budgets and is to begin hearings on the requests at 9 a. m. Monday. The Civil City budget must be presented to the City Council at its meeting Monday night. The City Council is expected to set a date for hearings at its Monday meeting. With officials pledged to operate the City government next year on a virtual “deficiency” budget, little change in departmental requests is anticipated.
Balances May Be Higher
City Controller James E. Deery has estimated that the City’s share of State taxes will be less next year than this year. Balances at the year’s end, however, may exceed those last year because of a general increase in the City’s 1939 budget in almost all departments. Balances utilized for budgetmaking purposes last year totaled $148,105. Miscellaneous receipts are expected to run about the same as last year, when the total was $594,791.05. With a $1.30 rate, the City this year raised a total of $6,638,762.34. With 1938 balances, miscellaneous revenues and tax receipts, the City had available a total of $7,861,367.67, exclusive of $699,386.40 in gasoline tax funds. : The City General Fund rate will probably show a slight decrease from last year, it’ was indicated. No significant slashes will be made. All departments, including police and fire, are being asked to operate on appropriations similar to last year’s. : ; * Deery Cites Saving One saving will be made, according to Mr. Deery, by the elimination of equipment funds in the Works, Park and Safety Boards’ requests. Necessary equipment, he said, will be purchased through bond issues, to be retired over the period during which equipment is to be used. The Park Board’s land fund, it is understood, has been slashed from $15,000 to $5000. Reductions in estimates for boulevard lighting, park lighting and recreation have resulted in a total of almost. $30,000 being cut from the Department’s original request. The Health Department is asking slightly more than its 1939 appropriation. The City’s bond liquidation schedule calls for principal and interest payments on outstanding bonds totaling $478,644.97. With current low interest rates, there is a possibility some of ‘these bonds may be refunded.
CONSTABLES’ LES’ GROUP
P.).—An open clash appeared imminent today between St. Joseph County law enforcement officials and the Justices of the Peace and Constables Association, Inc.: The association warned Prosecutor Arthur PF. Scheer and Sheriff William J.
