F. D. R. CHOICE INMNUTT FEUD | MAY BE FORGED

Hoosiers Clash With Altmeyer Over Ohio Pensions Widens Breach.

By NED BROOKS Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.—Differences over Ohio’s claim for lost oldage pension funds have precipitated an official feud of such proportions

that President Roosevelt may be forced to choose between the two top| { men administering the multi-mil-

lion-dollar social security program. Principals in the feud are Paul V. McNutt, Federal Security administrator, and Arthur J. Altmeyer, chairmen of the Social Security Board, the largest unit in Mr. McNutt’s domain.

at loggerheads. * Ohio Congressmen have been told that Mr. McNutt misinformed members of the Senate Judiciary Committee as to the. attitude of Mr Altmeyer and his fellow Board members toward the pension bill. After the bill reached the White House, Mr. Altmeyer called on the President with a group to confer on health matters. He remained behind when the others left and informéd Mr. Roosevelt that he thought the Ohio bill should be vetoed. He is said to have told the President that his superior misstated "his position.

McNutt Aid Enlisted

Thereafter, the President dealt with Mr, Altmeyer, who is said to have assisted in preparing arguments for the veto. Mr. McNutt, who earlier had submitted a report favorable to the bill, was not consulted further and did not learn that the veto was impending until Ohio Congressmen, forewarned of the action, besought his aid in rescuing the measure. Two days after the veto was anrounced, Mr. Roosevelt conferred with Oscar Chapman, Assistant Secretary of the Interior, and rerely his original choice for the ition Mr. McNutt holds. ; McNutfy and Mr. Altmeyer aur. been reported at swords points since the episode and other Security Administration officials are wondering who is really boss. Relations between the two were not helped last summer when Mr. McNutt brought in Clarence Jackson, Indiana Unemployment Compensation Director, as his acting executive assistant. Mr. Jackson had been a critic of Alimeyer policies.

State Rescues Stage-Struck Beaver Banished by Brothers

By JOE COLLIER Events subsequent to the State Fair Conservation Department exhibit last fall demonstrate conclusively that there’s no fool like an old beaver, especially if he is stage-struck. All hands agreed last fall that Big Red was stage-struck. After his first fright at the crowds that gathered around the store-made dam where he and five other Reavers were temporarily housed for the week,

He sat on the beach and pawed his face and the crowds laughed and the more they laughed the more he pawed his face. At the end of the week, his face began to show signs of wear and tear. 2 8 = ” TAKING THEIR cue from Big Red, the other beavers started to paw their faces as they sat on the. beach, dividing the adulation. Big Red grew jealous. He bit his rivals and in a day or so they all had to ke removed for first aid and Big Red had the show all alone. - Conservation Department show managers, who had looked over all the beaver talent in the state carefully before they selected the cast, admitted they had made a - mistake and that they didn’t know what to do about it. Well, the other beavers knew what to do. They got Big Red back after the fair in a colony. Nothing more was heard from him by Conservation men until a few days ago when a call came from Stueben County. A farmer said a beaver had built a dam in Pigeon River and that it was backing water into, a drainage ditch. He wanted it taken out.

8 # ”

CONSERVATION MEN went up there and tore out the dam. As the water lowered the beaver den came into view and they stretched a net across the mouth of it. Then they began digging and in an hour or so who should come out but Big Red. . There was no other beaver in the den. Big Red, they said, had been forced out of the colony as an undesirable, and he had wandered his lonely -way about seven miles in the cold and snow.

There, in Pigeon River, he built |

a dam all by himself, and they estimate it took him at least 10 days to complete it. And back of the dam, upstream, he built bachelor quarters—a den just big enough for himself. There he had planned to stay the winter, and maybe, they say, the rest of his life, a hermit and an exile, He was even estranged from his wife.

2 » #

THE LONELY HEARTS Bureaj of the Fish and Game Division of the Conservation Department liberated him a few days later in the middle of a big colony of beavers in Silver Creek in Clarke County, the length of the state from his home-folks and presumably outside the range of gossip about his reputation. There, they hope, he ‘ill marry again and live happily ever after, eventually forgetting the lure of the stage and settling down to Some useful, but not gaudy, beaver business. .

the: Administration recently,

Other C. I. O. Units Back F. D. R.

But more devastating for Mr. Lewis is the proof that he cannot control even the C. I. O. ‘on this political “issue, Two OC. 1. O. vice presidents, Sidney Hillman of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers and Emil Rieve of the Textile Workers, repeated their praise of the Administration and their unions’ stand in favor of a third term. Even the United Mine Workers’ convention, under the heavy Lewis voice and hand, was embarrassed by third-term resolutions from unre-constructed-rebel local unions. . The C. 1. O. state organizations in New York, New Jersey and California, along’ with many of the C. I. O. unions and locals, are on record for a third term. ‘At a Philadelphia meeting Saturday night for the new president of the American Federation of Hosiery Workers, Alex McKeown, there was great applause when the honor guest and other speakers favored drafting Mr. Roosevelf. Reference to John L. Lewis, in this C. I. O. union meeting, drew only silence.

The United Rubber Workers have voted for a third term. The large United Automobile Workers union also is believed to be more favorable to the Hillman pro-Roosevelt policy than to the Lewis bolt. It is "divided, like many other C. 1. O. affiliates.

So Mr. Lewis has been more successful in splitting his own C. I. O. army than the Democratic forces— at least for the’ moment.

- Lewis Denies Worry

Mr. Lewis professes not to be worried: by this. His comment on the defiance of the C. I. O. third termers is that “all these things will develop ' later,” and “they will keep pace with their friends.” But there is no sign that the Hillman group will surrender to Mr. Lewis on the Roosevelt issue, as it has on other issues such as its overruled advocacy of C. 1. O.-A. F. of L. peace.

It is significant, however, that Roosevelt. labor popularity—which is strong enough to challenge even the Lewis control of the C. I. O.—does not carry over to the Democratic Party as a. party, much less to a conservative Presidential candidate.

LEWIS BACKED BYLOCALC. 1.0.

Unions Support Criticism; McNutt Is Not Named Specifically in Action.

Unqualified indorsement of recent critical statements by C. I. O. President John L. Lewis regarding Paul V. McNutt and other presidential candidates was voted at a conference of Central Indiana C. 4. O. unions here yesterday.

Mr, McNutt’s name was not mentioned specifically in the resolution.

Other resolutions adopted condemned the Sherman Anti-Trust Act “as it has been used recently against organized labor”; concurred in passage of the Wagner Health Bill; set up a committee to fight for the cause of peace in Indiana and adopted the slogan, “The Yanks Are Not Coming.”

Condemns WPA Cut

The group urged Congress to continue investigation of infractions of civil liberties, approved passage of the La Follette Oppressive Labor Practices Act, condemned President Roosevelt's proposed budget as “forsaking the aims and objectives of the New Deal and as a concession to those forces which desire to drive our country into war.”

present cut in the budget for WPA and Federal relief, protested continuation of the Dies Committee and “recent attacks on trade unions by the Federal Bureau of Investigation as-a menace to the civil liberties of labor and the American people.” It was decided unanimously to seek ‘to defeat any application of the Industrial Mobilization Plan.

Warns of Tax Peril

‘The group set up machinery to seek Congressional enactment of the C. I. O. 1940 legislative program. Samuel C Cleland, Ft. Wayne tax expert, and O. P. Craig, Ft. Wayne, spoke. Mr. Cleland predicted that “if we are to continue the perpetuation of Bureaucracies with their extravagant tendencies,” sooner or later “you will get the kind of tax you do not want—a Federal sales tax” .

but to formulate an unwhitewashed program for the next Legislature as well, our hands are tied. So quit worrying about it. We have tried.” Rep. Evans wrote the letter to Rep. William Brown (R.

DEWEY IN LIST FOR ILLINOIS PRIMARY

NEW YORK, Jan. 29 (U. P).— Thomas E. Dewey undertakes his first crucial test in his campaign for the Republican Presidential nomination April 9 when he enters the Presidential primary of where Republican leaders hope to send uninstructed delegates to their national convention. Illinois, a vital pivotal state politically, is the third most important because of its 58 delegates. New York, with 92 delegates, and Pennsylvania, with 72, are the only ones with more. Leaders in the midwestern bloc of Illinois, Indiana (28 delegates), Kentucky (22) and Missouri (30) all hope to send uninstructed delegates to the convention. Hence, a Dewey victory in 1llinois would shatter that bloc. Mr. Dewey also is to participate in the Wisconsin and New York primaries, both April 2.
