(Photo, Page 15)

Indianapolis’ pedestriantraffic toll stood at seven today, two above last year. Two men died overnight in accidents as police and civic campaigns to cut down the rapidly mounting pedestrian death toll got under way. Pedestrians have been the victims in every traffic fatality thus far in 1940. : Both of the two latest victims were struck down as they ran across the street in the face of oncoming vehicles, They were: OTIS B. BAKER, 314 E. 10th 8t., injured fatally early today by an auto as he and his wife ran across E. Washington St. in the 2200 block. He was 33. MARCUS B. WATERMAN, 65, of 621 S. Alabama St, killed almost instantly last night when he was struck by a Lexington streetcar at Virginia Ave. and South St.

Spurs Council Program

Their deaths spurred members of the Indianapolis Accident Preveption Council in their program to eliminate “fixing” of traffic cases in courts and for other steps designed to make traffic safer for motorists and pedestrians. i The council is seeking pledges by all law enforcement officials that they will enforce all traffic laws rigidly and without favoritism. The car which struck Mr. Baker was driven, police said, by Glenn Schmidt, 19, of 119 S. Belmont Ave. He was not arrested. Mrs. Baker, 22, who also was struck by the car, was treated at City Hospital for minor injuries. Dr. Hugh Thatcher, deputy coroner, sent Mr. Baker's body to City Morgue. Later the body was taken to Milan, Ind., for burial. Mr. Waterman, police were told, had been standing on the curb and, as the streetcar approached, started to run across the street. His body was hurled about 20 feet by the impact. The streetcar was being operated by Jesse Cox, 65, of 31 N. Walcott St. Mr. Waterman's .body was sent to the City Morgue by Dr. Don Wood, deputy coroner.

Several Others Hart.

The victim is survived by a daughter, Miss Charlotte Waterman, and a stepson, Gus Horton, both of Indianapolis. . ; Several other persons wefe injured in traffic overnight. Charles Vanderford, 14, of 345 E. Merrill St., is jn fair condition at City Hospital with a broken arm and bruised head. He was found lying in the street at Kentucky and Senate Aves. where, police believe, he fell from a truck. He is ‘the son of Mrs. Rose Strand. Two men were arrested and one of them sent to a hospital after their cars collided last night at State Ave. and Minnesota St. They were James Tomlin Jr., 20, of 5712 Shelby St., and Walter Boliman, 40, of 1308 Bradbury St. Mr. Tomlin, arrested on a charge of failing to have an operator's license, was

sent to St. Francis Hospital for] -

treatment. Mr. Bollman was charged with failing to stop at a preferential

street. Two Women Injured

Mrs. Nora Anderson, Knightstown, Ind. was injured slightly when her car and one driven by Ralph Fidler, 346 N. Davidson St., collided at E. _ Washington and Pennsylvania Sts. Miss Dorothy Knight, also of Kn'zhtstown, and a passenger in the Anderson car, was injured slightly. Both were taken to City Hospital. Mr. Fidler was not injured. William Taylor, 401 Prospect St., and Earl Gillispie, 1701 First Ave. Mars Hill, were bruised slightly when the car Mr. Taylor was driving struck a parked car at Colorado Ave. and New York St. Mr. Gillispie was taken to Methodist Hospital for treatment.

BRITISH TROOPS SEIZE U.S. MAIL

Marine Invasion of Clipper Plane at Bermuda Jan. 18 ~ Stirs Senate Anger.

NEW YORK, Feb. 22 (U. P.).— British ‘marines ‘seized 2600 pounds of American mail from a Pan American Airways Clipper at Bermuda Jan. 18, it was learned today. Pan American has turned the whole question of - British censorship of U. S. air mail at Bermuda over to Secretary of State Cordell Hull and therefore was not in a position to discuss the incident. Capt. Charles A. Lorber, in charge of. the Clipper invaded by the British marines, protested at the time to British authorities at Bermuda, it was explained. ‘The company has been complying with British censorship regulations since without protest.

Captain Resisted

The incident marked the inauguration of British censorship of U. S. air mail at Rermuda. Captain Lorber’s Clipper had landed en route to Lisbon, British censors boarded the craft’ and announced they were going to remove its ¢argo of mail. Captain Lorber, the United Press was told, informed the British party that the Clipper was an American ship and .that he would not permit examination of its mail. After a heated argument, Captain Lorber ordered the British off the Clipper.

Marines Fix Bayonets

The censors stepped out and their leader signalled to a party of marines in ‘a nearby launch. The marines, with bayonets fixed to their rifles, boarded the Clipper and Captain Lorber submitted to the seizure, demanding a receipt when the British had removed half of the 5200 pounds of mail in the cargo. Captain Lorber then wrofe a formal protest to the British Consul. . Since ‘then, the British have censored every item of Clipper-borne (Continued on Page Three)

Detectives said today they had located the woman who made a mysterious phone call to the filling station at 10th and Wallace Sts., a few minutes after the proprietor, Francis T, Smith, was found slain on the night of Feb. 2. They said a thorough check of the woman’s story had convinced them she was not implicated in the crime, 3 The woman, who lived in the neighborhood, said she knew Mr. Smith slightly and when she saw police at the station she called to find out what was going on, the officers said. She hung up, detectives said she told them, when the person answering the phone said he “didn’t know” in answer to her question, “Is this IR-00532" Then she called back a few minutes later, officers said, and hung up again when a woman’s voice answered. Police said that the woman's story checked with the aceount of Paul Kervan, 5152 Pleasant Run Blvd. North Drive, the man who found Mr. Smith's body and who answered

the first call, and Dr. John Graves’ nurse, who-answered the second call. Dr. Graves was the physician called after the body was discovered.

Weir, Steel Baron, Chosen To Direct G. O. P. Financing

Multimillionaire One of Most Unyielding Foes of New Deal.

By FRED W. PERKINS Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.—This year’s Republican drive for the Presidency will be financed under direction of a man who has demonstrated that his heart as well as his purse is in the cause. He is Ernest T. Weir, self-made steel of individualists, out-and-out foe of the New Deal. National Chairman John Hamilton announced today that Mr. Weir has accepted appointment and started work as chairman of the Republican : National Finance Committee. Finance headquarters, for Mr. Weir's convenience, will be established in Pittsburgh. While the appointment is jtechnically to last only during Mr. Hamilton’s service as chairman of the National Committee, which may end immediately after the Party's 1940 ticket is nominated at Philadelphis in June, it is expected that Mr. Weir will continue in charge of finances throughout the campaign. His job will be to raise a fund that. may break records for campaign spending. In 1936 the Republican National Committee spent $8,892,971 for all purposes, while the Democrats disbursed $5,030,848. Mr. Weir is said to be in complete agreement with Chairman Hamilton and National Treasurer C. B. Goodspeed of Chicago on a plan of “streamlined” party financing, with solicitation unified under one agency, the National Finance Committee, rather than conducted by numerous state and other campaign bodies. A multimillionaire, Mr. Weir has ‘been a large contributor to his party. Although regarded as a progressive industrialist, he has fought the New Deal’s labor policies to a standstill.

MNUTT RAPS 4 '6.0.P. LEADERS

‘Quartet of Carping Critics,” He Says; Defends New Deal Policies.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Feb. 22 (U. P.) —Paul V. McNutt, candidate for the Democratic Presidential nomination, in a speech prepared for Ldelivery here today, said the four leading ‘Republican candidates were a “quartet of carping croakers”’ and that the chorus of the “malcontents was getting louder and funnier.” He ‘challenged the Republicans— Senator Robert A. Taft of Ohio,

| District Attorney Thomas E. Dewey

of New York, Senator Arthur Vandenberg of Michigan and Frank Gannett. New York publisher—to present a program superior to the New Deal policies he defended.

Mr. McNutt said his record as Governor of Indiana was “open to the public in all respects.”

Defends Two Per Cent Club

“And that includes the Two Per Cent Club organized in Indiana to help pay campaign expenses,” he said. “There has been a lot of gossip about the “Two Per Cent Club.” There are two ways to finance a campaign like that. “One is to dangle the hat before people who expect to get favors. . . . The other is to open the way for voluntary contributions by people of your own party, men and women who are interested in a common program of government. * “The latter way is the honest way, and I prefer it. Besides, those 2 per cent contributions were not 2 per cent. They were only 13 per cent. And no one had to contribute ior.fear of losing a job.”

Calls for Liberal

At a press conference Mr. McNutt said the Democratic Party must nominate a Liberal to stay in power and termed his relations with James A. Farley as “cordial.” “President Roosevelt can have the nomination if he wants it,” Mr. McNutt asserted. “My own candidacy hinges on his decision. “Whoever wins the .Presidency, is in for a tough time. “A precarious 'foreign situation fis added
