MNUTT HAPPY AFTER PRIVATE TALK WITH FOR

Hoosier Pleased as President 0. K.s Paper’s Apologia ~ On Tax Probe.

By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.—When Federal Security Administrator Paul V. McNutt called on President Roosevelt for 15 minutes just be-| fore the Chief Executive left the city on that secret trip, he emerged

- ~ smiling and reported privately that . “it was about the best man-to-man talk we ever have had.” Only that morning the former Indiana Governor had been given a full column of apologia in The Washington Post. It was written by Columnist ' Harlan Miller, who predicted that there will be nothing but an apology coming from the Treasury Agents when they get through inspecting Mr. McNutt’s tax returns. ’ President Roosevelt saw that column and his approving comments were what made Mr. McNutt feel so good. Meanwhile th: arrest of 250 men at a lewd Baltimore stag party may give Administrator McNutt a chance to put .Chairman Arthur H. Altmeyer of the Social Security Board over a barrel.

Worked for Alitmeyer

For many of the men were S. S. B. employees and when their picture was taken at the police station The Baltimore Sun ran it under the caption: “Police Get Social Security Boys’ Number.” Mr. McNutt pointed out that they were civil service people and under Mr. Altmeyer’s jurisdiction. « Mr. Altmeyer is the one who got President Roosevelt to veto that Ohio pension payment bill after his superior, Mr. McNutt, had recommended its passage. He is rated as one of the slickest bureaucrats in Washington. tJ t J o The epidemic of McNutt speeches may .be bearing more fruit than some of his press critics care to contemplate. ] Excerpts from his speech: to the automobile dealers’ convention here have been reprinted and now are " being widely distributed by the Automobile Manufacturers’ Associa- ~ tion from its headquarters in Detroit. { Hone reprint carries this introducon:

The Division of State Publicity will appoint in the next day or two, a five-man committee to meet with it and solve the division’s ills. Created in the last Legislature, the division’s duty is to sell Indiana to the nation. At the invitation of the publicity group, 50 prominent men from throughout the state gathered at the Columbia Club yesterday and heard division represeritatives outline their program and the obstacles which lie ahead. When the act which created the commission was first introduced in the Legislature it had a proviso alloting $150,000 annually for two yeays to finance the “sell Indiana division.” When the bill finally was enacted into law that sum had been reduced to $25,000. - This is not sufficient, according t J. H. Albershardt, division director. There is, however, a clause in the law which “provides that the money appropriated may be augmented, the division being authorized to accept gifts and contributions for this

purpose.”

Mr. Albershardt said, “This new

effort in the State’s behalf, through

“Every man a King” was the slogan of the late Senator Huey P. Long, and while Hoosiers have no such regal aspirations, Rep. Clifford R. Hope (R. Kas.) returned here this week ready to bear witness to the long established fact that in Indiana every man is a politician. As chairman of the Special Republican Agricultural Study Committee, Rep. Hope presided at the farm sessions in Indianapolis last week-end, with the seven G. O. P. Congressmen from Indiana ting in. “1 understand now why Indiana is noted for hot politics,” Rep. Hope said. “Every farmer that talked was a first-class orator and so filled up with his subject he seemed ready to fight for his viewpoint.” Count on Fighting Spirit It is this fighting spirit among the Hoosier farmers that the Republicans are counting on to carry 1) © state. ay “One of the things the farmers

business enterprise. Fundamentally it is a sales job. It calls for the investment of adequate funds and wise management, and is intended to produce a tangible result in the form of profit dollars—which should benefit, in some degree, every citizen of the State.” : In comparing Indiana with other states which have publicity commissions, division officials’ pointed out that Pennsylvania has currently invested $48,000 in advertising in a single magazine for 21 weeks. “It is currently reported that 12 states are now investing a total of $2,500,000 annually in advertising their farm products alone,” the divisio nstates. | Among those who spoke in indorsement of the motion to select the five-man committee to confer

State Republican campaign leaders, making up for lost time, have launched a terrific drive that is being felt keenly in the Democratic camp. : Cries of “smash the New Deal” by half a dozen speakers over the State every night are not falling all together upon deaf ears. State Democratic Chairman Fred F. Bays still is the lone campaigner for the Democrats and will remain so until some candidates for State offices get into the running. It was reported that Lieut. Gov. Henry F. Schricker will announce his candidacy for the gubernatorial nomination “within 10 days” and R. Earl Peters, Indiana FHA director, is said to be preparing to announce his candidacy “about March 10.” Democratic organization leaders claim the race for the gubernatorial nomination will be “kept wide open.” An organization spokesman said: “We're going to show the people some real political democracy by letting the man with the most delegates be nominated regardless of who he is.”

A dry element entered the state political picture this week: * The drys were reported mustering their forces for a fresh onslaught against candidates known to be wet. It was reported that the AntiSaloon League and the W. C. T. U. were organizing in the rural communities to oppose State Senator William E. Jenner and Judge James -iA. Emmert, both candidates for the Republican nomination for Governor. 2 The drys set out to clip Judge Emmert’s wings after he recently advocated state-owned liquor stores.

STATE CUTS FARM ~ TAX ASSESSMENTS

Indiana farmers will be saved thousands of dollars in taxes in 1940

as the result of the State Tax Board’s order to assess farm products March 1 on the basis of 80 per cent of the local market price, C. R. Benjamin, board member, said today. Ay The order, issued yesterday to assessors in every Indiana county, was made to equalize the assessment of farm products with the assessment of the stock of retail merchants. Heretofore, livestock, grain and produce had been assessed at its full market value while the retail stock had been evaluated at cost rather than at retail price. Mr. Benjamin said that no figures were readily available as to just how much saving in taxes the order. would effect for Indiana farmers, but that it would “run into high figures.” The nearest local market prices are to be used in making evaluations. The Board also has prepared a scale of values for farm products not frequently marketed. The table lists as top values, registered cattle, $200; good cows and bulls, $75; common cows and bulls, $47; good horses, $131; common horses, $75; registered stallions and mares, $830; ponies, $25; race horses with records, $500, and drivers and

CHALLENGES RIGHT TO FIX MINE PRICE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17 (U. P.).— The Federal Consumers’ Counsel ed for three trial examiners today a legal challenge to the Bituminous Coal Division's authority to fix higher minimum prices for soft coal sold at the mine when it is to move by water or truck instead of by railroad. . The examiners will recommend new price schedules to Bituminous Coal Division Director Harold Gray, who will promulgate prices. Coal men believe that prices may be made effective about April 1. : In its brief, Consumers’ Counsel suggested proposed price reductions totaling approximately $6,000,000. It also suggested important price for Indiana coal operators where reductions have been urged by. the Indiana operators themselves

The holdup man kept his right hand in his pocket as if concealing a revolver and said, “Hand over the big money and also the quarters and half dollars.” An attempted holdup was frustrated last night when the lights of an approaching automobile diverted the bandit’s attention. Niles Kehrer, 1130 W. 18th St, told police he had his car parked in West St., 600 block, and a man approached and ordered hm into the car. The stranger acted as if he had a gun concealed in his pocket. When another car turned on its lights, Mr. Kehrer slammed his car door and drove away.
