FOR HOLDS KEY, BOTH WHEELER, M'NUTT DECIDE

Montana Senator Thinks Nominee Must Have Roosevelt 0. K.

By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Dec. 22. —Federal Security Administrator Paul V. MecNutt is pleased today at confirmation of his political judgment by no less a veteran than Senator Burton K. Wheeler (D. Mont.) Both the former Indiana Governor and Senator Wheeler are front rank candidates for the Democratic Presidential nomination in 1940. Many months ago Mr. McNutt declared he would not compete against President Roosevelt if the President sought a third term, and pointed out that he was certain that any Democ;at would have to have the Presi-| dent’s approval for the nomination | and active support for election. | Senator Wheeler this week came to exactly the same conclusion.

F. D. R. Power Cited Back from a Western trip, the Montanan declared that unless the Democrats nominate a liberal the Republicans will win out there. He then commented that President Roosevelt will wield “veto power” in the Democratic national convention | next year. “President Roosevelt will hold a veto power, in the sense that no candidate he turns thumbs down on can be nominated.” Senator Wheeler said. “And no Democrat can be elected without his support.” | The statement of Senator Elmer) Thomas (D. Okla.) saying that he will support Senator Wheeler for the Democratic presidential nomination “provided the President doesn't run,” came as somewhat of a surprise to the McNutt forces here. Supported in Oklahoma For outside of Indiana, Oklahoma has been rated as the leading state so far as McNutt supporters are concerned, Interest in the Hoosier's candidacy has been reported as widespread there and such Congressional leaders as Rep. Jed Johnson (D. Okla.) are outspoken in his favor, providing there is no third term. Governor Leon Phillips of Oklahoma, who expects to have far more to say about the convention dele-| gates than either Senators Thomas) or Josh Lee (D. Okla.) is said to be a supporter of Vice President John N. Garner for the nomination.

New McNutt Pamphlet Uses ‘Executive’ Photo

Featuring the new “executive” photo of Paul V. McNutt, a pamphlet was issued today by the Security Administrator's Presidential | campaign headquarters here, re-| viewing his financial record as Govemor of Indiana. The pamphlet, entitled “Record of Paul V. McNutt for Governmental Finance,” is third in a series, The pamphlet asserts that when Mr. McNutt was Indiana governor in 1933-1937, all bills were paid by the State when due without use of borrowed money,

WILL REPORT ON MILK INQUIRIES

Seeks to Determine Whether Anti-Trust Laws Are Violated.

——————— 2

The committee selected by the Indianapolis Federation of Community Civic Clubs to determine whether Indianapolis milk distributors are violating the Sherman AntiTrust Act is to meet next week. Thomas Daily, committee chairman, said that a study is being made of the Chicago milk situation, where

public officials, milk distributors and | labor unions are under indictments for conspiracy to create a monopoly. The committee seeks to discover whether similar conditions exist here. Mr. Daily said the investigation is proceeding “satisfactorily.” |

Price Hiked Here

The State Milk Control Board this week made permanent a l-cent increase in retail milk prices after more than a month of hearings at which civic groups from all parts of the City objected to the increase. ! It was after these hearings that the civic federation appointed the committee with instructions to ferret out “any violations which can be | turned over to the proper authorities.” Thurman Armold, U. S. Justice | Department prosecutor, announced last week that investigation of alleged monopolies in several large cities will be conducted. | While New York City and Boston were mentioned by Mr. Arnold, there was no references to any city in Indiana. Federation officials hope, however, that through their study they will gain sufficient material to justify a large-scale probe here,

Start Report Next Week

Following next week's meeting, the committee will start work on its formal report of findings to be presented to the federation during the latter part of January. The price increase issued by the Board will keep in effect for four more months the l-cent increase granted Nov. 16 upon petitions of producers and distributors. The board also ordered the distributors to pay producers $2.54 per hundredweight for class one milk, an increase of 36 cents or 16 per cent over the price received by producers last summer. Also to be discussed by the comwill be an ordinance pending the City Council which if would permit the sale of only A Milk in Indianapolis,

Nine deputy sheriffs today were sporting new shirt-sleeve emblems to identify them as graduates of an advanced course in first-aid given by the Red Cross. | They received the emblems yesterday with cards from the Red Cross office in Washington. They earned the cards and emblems in a 20-hour course conducted at the County Jail by Dr. Ralph Berger, Red Cross examiner. | The course covered handling of fractures, artificial respiration and other first-aid treatment. Two of the deputies this week were credited | with saving the life of a man overcome by carbon monoxide fumes by applying artificial resuscitation. | Those who have received Red Cross certificates for the advanced course are Carl Beck, Gus Meith, Harry Cook, Irwin Shoemaker, Tony Maie, Clarence Sparrow, Roy Barrett, Hubert Stevens and John Dora. The 17 other deputies in the Sheriff's office, including office employ‘ees, all have passed examinations in the standard Red Cross course, Sheriff Al Feeney said. Their average grade was 97. New first-aid equipment also has been added to the Sheriff's office,

including two sets of hospital splints, '

blankets, stretchers and first-aid kits for emergency cars. Ba2cause of an increase expected in crime activity and in automobile accidents at Christmas time, Sheriff Feeney said

New regulations designed to bring

about uniform valuations of per'sonal property in Indiana in 1940 were outlined at the annual cone ference of county assessors at the State House today. State Tax Board officials said the regulations agreed upon by the assessors will provide taxing officials a more equitable basis for appraisals. Uniform valuations were outlined in an address by C. R. Benjamin, Republican member of the State Tax Board. He prescribed a scientific program for making personal prop= erty appraisements to avoid diver gent valuations on the tax duplicates. The assessors also adopted a plan for a closer check on intangibles |taxes., This procedure was outlined by Marshall Williams, State Tax Board member, who advised the assessors against accepting the valuation of stocks and bonds as offered by their owners. He said a check of current market prices should be

made before intangibles taxes are listed. |
