‘Partial Disfranchisement’ Of Workers Charged by Democrat Leader.

By NOBLE REED Charges that the recently enacted Hatch Law results in “partial disfranchisement” of thousands of WPA workers in Indiana were made in a statement issued today by the State Democratic Committee. Under the Hatch Law, Federal Government employees, with a few exceptions, are barred from active

participation in political campaigns. “In our opinion the Hatch Law is a blow at the two-party system of government in our nation,” the statement said, “a system long - recognized as one of the checks and

Prisoner’s Release While

Morrissey Is Away.

Charging that the Police Department and “the 400,000 people of Indianapolis are under one man’s thumb,” Judge John L. McNelis today posed the question of whether “policemen in this city are scared of their chief.” Judge McNelis’ inquiry followed officers’ refusal to grant Judge Mc~ Nelis’ request that a prisoner be released on his own recognizance,

Later the prisoner was released on

Aimed at Patronage

“The law is aimed primarily at those. who are employed on WPA. Just why these thousands of Amer-~ icons, who by no fault of their own are earning a living as result of provisions of a bereficient government, should be denied by law to take part in selection of candidates is hard to understand. “There should be a means. of correcting pernicious political activity without partial disfranchisement.” Supporters of the Hatch Law in Congress won its passage on the grounds that it was necessary to prevent the use of Federal money and patronage in influenging elections. .

Recent rumblings of an organized;

insurgent movement to overthrow the present leadership in the Republican Party in Indiana appear to be fading. Factions being organized by Ralph Gates, Columbia City, to force the election of a new State chairman to succeed Arch N. Bobbitt, apparently have been unable to muster sufficient voting strength to complete the coup. During a two-day rally here a month ago, factional leaders worked | night and day to perfect the insurgent movement but some party leaders expressed belief that it had failed at least so far as immediate action is concerned. » » 2

Republican Presidential sentiment in Indiana will be checked by party leaders here Oct. 30 when U. S. Senator Robert A. Taft (R. Ohio), mentioned prominently as a candidate for Presidential nomination, will speak before the Indianapolis Bar Association. Senator Taft is reported as gaining support in some Central and Western states.

Indiana Democratic women will organize delegations all over the State next Wednesday to go to Muncie where Mrs. Pranklin D. Roosevelt is scheduled to-speak at a public meeting sponsored by the Muncie Optimist Club. Party leaders will use the event as a starter for more organization work among Democratic women in the State.

INTENT TO STEAL U.S. MONEY CHARGED

Edward Beck, 25, of 1141 N. West St., was arrested today and charged with intent to steal Government money. According to A. C. Garrigus, chief postal. inspector here, Beck went into a ‘drug store at 1828 College Ave. on Oct. 9 and held up the clerk, Samuel J. Oburn. Mr. Oburn who, it is alleged, was forced to hand over postal receipts, told Beck, “Now you're really in trouble. That's Gévernment money.” Beck handed the money back, Mr. Garrigus said. Beck waived preliminary hearing. His bond was set at $1500 and he was bound over to the grand jury.

Eugene B. Crowe (D. Ind.) is being congratulated here upon his address to the 25th anniversary meeting of the American Association of State Highway Officials at Richmond, Va. Billed as a speaker from the House “Roads Committee, his colleagyes claim’ Mr. Crowe really turned out to be a magician. For he turned the hundreds of miles of paved roads in Indiana into Simon Pure Democratic political propaganda. Here are some excerpts from that speech as printed in the Congressional Record: “My State, Indiana, is making great progress in road building, particularly during the last seven years. Prior to that, it was more of a haphazard, hit-and-miss proposition. “prior to these late years, when the slab was layed, there was no bridge to cross the stream, or if they . built a bridge across the stream, there was no slab. “After both slab and bridge were constructed, then you would have to beg maybe for months before the berms would be put in condition and still further months before the side roads on curves and embankments would properly be protected by fencing or other safety devices. . “Today in our State, when the slab| is layed, a bridge across the stream is constructed, the sides of the roads are completed, the fencings and guardrails are constructed, and in a businesslike manner the road is completed. “This, thanks to our last two Governors and to the very splendid

DAPPER REP. FOREST A. HARNESS (R. Ind.) had the delightful assignment this week of being escort for Miss Eilleen Legg, Tipton" County Corn Queen, and her five Maids-in-Waiting. All are Tipton County high school girls brought here and to the New York World's Fair to honor Will Curry, Tipton County’s “International Corn King” who has won the championship by exhibiting the world’s best 10 ears of corn annually for the past five years. The girls . accompanying the Queen were Misses Catherine Herron, Betty Goodnight, Evelyn Fernung, Marygene Young and Juanita Engleman. Mrs, Betty Mettler was the chaperone. ‘ They are making the tour with Irvin Miller of Muncie, who has escorted 2400 Hoosiers on such Eastern tours this year, he said.

Rep. Harness was dashing through the Capitol corridors to meet these girls from his District when accosted by an old man who halted him to inquire: “Do you know where I can find the Congressman from Indiana?” Questioning disclosed that he lived on a farm near Fort Wayne, so Rep. Harness advised him to see Rep. George W. Gillie (R. Ind.), who represents the Fort Wayne district. Rep. Gillie took the old gentleman into thé House Gallery and

“GOVERNMENT ECONOMY Is Aim Of McNutt” was the huge headline over the Government Departments column written by Jerry Klutz in the Washington daily News one day this week. It read in part: “Paul V. McNutt is out to make a name for himself as a Federal Government economizer. If he succeeds, he will be painted as a frugal New Dealer next year in his campaign for the presidency, which, it must be admitted, would take some of the starch out of the Republican argument of reckless New Deal spending should Mr. McNutt be the Democratic nominee. “As chief of the Federal Security Agency, the former Indiana

Governor ‘has an excellent oppo tunity to show savings in the-ad-ministration of six agencies” under

him that spend around three-quar-ters of a billion dollars a year. And he is working earnestly toward that end, while at the same time guarding against reducing the benefits to the needy and aged. “Comparatively little is heard about balancing the Federal budget these days, but Paul McNutt will have an answer ready. if the issue is again brought to the forefront during the 1940 campaign. “He can point to his record of a balanced budget while he ‘was Governor, and furthermore, of

SAFETY CONGRESS STUDIES BIKE ‘PERIL

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J, Oct. 21 (U. P.).—The National Safety Congress found a new worry today in the resurrection of a favorite of the gas light era—the bicycle. A committee of the National Safety Council disclosed there are 8,000,000 bicycles in the United States, twice as many as in 1932, with a consequent. increase in fatalities to riders. Seven years ago, the committee said, there were 350 bicycle fatalities, last year, 700. There is one bicycle for every four automobiles and one for every 17 persons, the committee said. It found that where motorists® violate trafic regulations in 24 per cent of their accidents, bicyclists commit violations in 72 per cent of theirs. It recommended strict enforcement for riders. regular mechanical inspection of hicycles, and strict registration and licensing.

Seven “first editions” of fraudulent checks remained in the hands of Indianapolis citizens today to remind them of the “rare book collector” who came to town two weeks ago to buy a downtown book store, which specializes in first editions. The handsome affablg stranger left town yesterday, taking with him $28 from the book store’s cash

drawer and a new typewriter, secured by passing two worthless checks to a local firm. The book store’s proprietors were hurrying home today from North Carolina and were expected to reach Indianapolis this evening. Representating himself as one of two partners in a Shanghai book firm, the stranger had arranged to “close the deal” on Thursday. On that date, however, he told the proprietors’ lawyer that his partner had become suddenly ill en route to Indianapolis, and that he had been taken from a train at Crown Point and returned to Chicago. The Shanghai firm which the man said he represented is a known

The “host” had departed before the party’s scheduled hour. The checks, including those given the typewriter company, totaled $286.
