Indianapolis Times that political and family favoritism had played a -heavy part in his distribution of the township’s $1,000,000 a year ree lief business.
Investigation revealed’ that Dan R. Anderson, who managed Mr. Quinn’s campaign last year, operates two groceries which, combined, have been receiving 17 per cent of the township’s grocery relief orders. It also was shown that Mr. Anderson and two other grocers, one of whom operates two stores, have . been receiving more than 40 per cent of the grocery business, the remainder being divided between half a hundred other less favored grocers.
Bakery Gets Half of Orders
One bakery, it was shown, has been receiving more than half of the township’s bread business.
Following his admission, Mr.
Quinn promised to redistribute the|. ¢
township’s relief business on a “fairer” basis. =~ Mr. Quinn also admitted that his son, Thomas M. Quinn Jr, had been listed on an assessment sheet as a partner in the Martindale|; Market, opened” by Mr. Anderson a few days after Mr. Quinn took office last January. |
Mr. Quinn Jr. explained he had|’
discussed the possibility of going into partnership with Mr. Anderson, but several months later rejected the idea. He said he learned that before he had reached a decision, Mr. Anderson had filed the assessment sheet listing the firm as a partnership, with “Anderson and Quinn, partners.”
‘Big Three’ Gains Continue
Meanwhile, with the filing of grocery relief. claims for the last half of September, it was disclosed that the “Big Three”—the three grocers whose five stores consistently have enjoyed a major share of the township's business—continued to gain in volume during the month. The stores are Anderson’s Market and Martindale Market, operated by Mr. Anderson; the E. F. Blygestein grocery and the Park Food . Market, operated by E. ¥. Bluestein, and the Ben Siegel grocery. Each showed a gain over August. ‘These five filed claims totaling $31,748.40, or 43.4 per cent of the township’s total grocery business in September. Their percentage of the total business in August was a fraction of a per cent less. Since Mr. Quinn’s promise a week ago to distribute the relief business more evenly, several groceries which have been receiving only a small amount of relief orders, report they are beginning to receive a few new orders.
Township Food Bill Rises
The claims indicated Center Township's food bill was $4943.87 higher in September than in August, and that the three most favored grocers’ increase in volume was $3142.30. The claims for the last half of September listed a new name among the groceries, the Lexington Market, at 1652 Lexington Ave. Inquiry revealed that this was the former Joseph Brothers Market. Clarence I. Wheatley, former City Councilman and former County Commissioner, said he took over the market, one of those on the Center Township relief list, the middle of September.
Maurice Bisgyer, Washington, * national secretary of B’nai B'rith, told members of the local lodge last night that Jewish people always have been in the forefront in the fight for liberty and freedom. Mr. Bisgyer help to launch the annual membership drive of the Indianapolis chapter at a meeting held at Kirshbaum Community Center.

HINT SOVIET-CHINA
ALLIANGE IS NEAR
SHANGHAI, Oct. 19 (U. P.).—Reports reached neutral diplomats to-
| |day that a strong Russian military
delegation had arrived. at Chungking, the Chinese temporary capital, and reports were circulated at once that a military alliance would be negotiated. Russian sources at Chungking denied the report. ~ According to the reports, which the Japanese Domei News .Agency also broadcast from Tokyo on the strength of a “Shanghai press report,” two generals and numerous technical experts were in the delegation. It was added that five air-
planes had been needed to take the delegation to Chungking.
TOKYO, Oct. 19 (0. P.) —American Ambassador Joseph Clark Grew told a luncheon of distinguished
Japanese today that the American
public strongly resented some Japanese Army actions in China and the situation would have to be changed if relations were to be improved. As regards Japan’s “new order in East Asia,” Mr. Grew said Americans understood its significance as well as Japanese and believed that it meant an attempt to - deprive Americans of their . long-standing rights in China, - Mr. Grew spoke before 700 Japanese and Americans and other foreigners at a luncheon of the America-Japan Society. He had
anT old U. SR Army's Action
in on
ly into new 7 phases of Jap-| erican relations with of-
States and pointed out that on vacation had given him an opportunity to learn American public opinion. “It would be an insult to your intelligence if I talked of trivialities,” he continued, and then launched into a | speech whose frankness astonished his hearers and caused
them to try vainly to recall a recent precedent.
* |DEALER HERE CLAIMS | G. M. USED PRESSURE
3 SOUTH BEND, Ind. Oct. 19 (. P.).—An - Indianapolis automobile dealer testified today that pressure was exerted upon him to do his financing. through the General Motors Acceptance Corp. General Motors, three afiiliates and 17 individuals are being prosecuted in Federal Court on tharges of violating the anti-trust laws. PF. L. Elliott said that before can-
cellation of his General Motors franchise: in 1937, he was told that “this condition cannot continue to exist” when he financed his sales through companies other than G. M. A. C. He'added that he had received several letters from General Motors officials telling him it would
be “better” if he used G. M. A. C.
U S. Experts Warn of Possible 40 Recession
WASHINGTON, Oc. 19 (U.-P.).— Warnings of the ‘possibility of a business recession in 1940 and the need for greater public consumption and capital expenditiires to sustain current business levels came today from two officia’ sources along with a boom time estimate of present industrial production.
The warnings are calculated to prepare the public mind for a falling off of business more likely to be
temporary than to extend through|all
1940. They appear to indicate some degree of Administration alarm, but they were substantially optimistic on a long-haul view through next year. Reversal of downward wholesale price trends and improved farm. income were notable favorable ‘factors in the current situation. And, favor-
able or not, Government economists estimated industrial - production in the second week of October at 129, a boom time level. That is a jump of 19 points over
the September average and 10 points ]
beyond the average for 1929. Ine dustrial production, however, is the
point at which any slow-down or recession would’ be felt first, if
. The Agriculture Department’s highly regarded Bureau of Agricultural Economics and Secretary of Commerce Harry L. Hopkins joined today in warning of the dangers of speculative inventories—accumulations of goods in the hands of distributors, and others than cone sumers.
