Hoosiers In Washington—
DEAREST SANTA: YOU KNOW WHAT
MNUTT WANTS a
Hoosiers” Christmas Wishes Listed as They Go Home For Holidays. By DANIEL M. KIDNEY : WASHINGTON, Dec. 28.—Since
most of the Hoosiers of Washington are back home in Indiana for the
holidays, it may be safe to predict, |
without the slightest consultation with them, what they really want for Christmas. Maybe it would be better to call it their New Year wishes for 1940. Federal Security Administrator Paul V. McNutt is one of the few Indianians remaining in the city. It is relatively easy to guess what he wants. Probably all he would like right now is President Roosevelt's blessing on his 1940 Presidential candidacy, enough Democratic delegates to insure his nomiantion and & majority vote for his election to the White House in November. For Minton's Stocking Senator Frederick VanNuys (D.)., the Vienna, Va. farmer, would like & good crop and no third term for President Roosevelt in 1940. Senator Sherman Minton (D) will be quite satisfied with re-elec-tion, appointment to the U. S. Supreme Court, or to any other Federal court for that matter. That re-election wish goes for all Congressmen from Indiana. In addition they might also be well pleased with the following from Santa Claus: Rep. William T. Schulte Cheap milk for Washington babies
and a lot of publicity for himself|
in the Washington newspapers. Rep. Charles A. Halleck (R)— The G. O. P. Senatorial nomination, if it looks like beating Senator Minton will be as sure a thing as election of a Republican Congressman in the Second District. Rep. Robert A. Grant (R.)—To grow up and play with the Big Boys in the House. , Rep. George W. Gillie Some way to get Townsend Club members to forget that he didn't vote for their bill, after accepting support on the premise that he would do so. What Boehne Wants Rep. Forest A. Harness Down with the Democrats! Rep. Noble J. Johnson (R.)—No more hard work in 1940 than in the last two years. Rep. Gerald W. Landis (R.)—To stick with Dr. Townsend so that he (Landis) won't have to teach school. Rep. John W. Boehne Jr (D.)— | Courage to remain during the remainder of the New Deal days. : Rep. Eugene ‘B.
