SAYS HOOSIERS FOR CASH-CARRY

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.—Despite the ‘hundreds of letters, telegrams and petitions to-the contrary, a majority of ‘Indiana citizens favor the Administration plan to lift the arms

embargo and. establish cash-and-|§ :tcarry Arthur H. Greenwood, Wash-

ington, Ind., former Seventh Dis-

trict Democratic Congressman, de-{# ,|clared today. - = ‘Although he served eight terms in -|the House and was one-time Demo-

cratic: Whip, Rep. Greenwood denied that his conclusion is based on partisanship. “The Gallup Poll shows a majority in Indiana in favor of changing the present Neutrality Law,” Mr. Greenwood said. “I am sure that represents the prevailing sentiment in the Seventh District and in my opinion, throughout the state.

“Hoosiers want no part of any|

foreign war, but they are willing to do business with belligerents on a cash-and-carry basis, including the selling of arms.” Mr. Greenwood was defeated last year by Rep. Gerald W. Landis, a Republican supporting the Town-

send Pension Plan. Mr. Landis had |

run three times previously. Mr. Greenwood declined to say whether he will attempt a comeback next year. He predicted, however, that Mr. Landis will have to support the Neutrality Law change, or be defeated because of the sentiment in the Seventh District. .

to give up oranges —
