GE 16 __ ‘REPORT FARLEY HELPING GARNER

‘ Senate Democrats Spread Story 6f Anti-Third Term Action. By LYLE C. WILSON

United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, March 18.—Reparts that Postmaster General James A. Farley was co-operating informally but effectively with Vice President John N. Garner's antithird term movement circulated today among Senate Democrats. These reports were somewhat off-

set, however, by negation of a considerably touted strategy whereby Mr. Farley has to have entered an anti-third term slate of delegates in the May 13 Ohio preferential primary. That Mr. Farley would enter sa slate in opposition to the state organization which is frontirig for the third term in Ohio was published here and throughout the country. But the deadline for filing in Ohio passed over the week-end and Mr. Roosevelt is assured of 52 delegates there if he wants them. There was, in fact, no confirmation from Mr. Farley that he intended to go into Ohio at all.

Next Major Test in Wisconsin

The political relationship between the Postmaster General and President Roosevelt still has not come to the open break which many observers predicted. The political breaks of the past few days have been considerably in favor of the New Deal organizers of draft-Roosevelt strategy although it is not -known here, even yet, whether Mr. Rooseelt intends to run again or merely wants to accumulate a big bloc of delegates so that he may try to name his successor. The first major preferential pri- - mary will take place two weeks from tomorrow in Wisconsin, where both Democratic and Republican stakes are high. Without suggesting that there is a coalition or anything of the kind between Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg (R. Mich.) and Senator Robert A. Taft (R. O) it is fairly obvious now that both hope the Wisconsin primary will begin to submerge District Attorney Thomas E. Dewey's 1940 hopes. Dewey to Go West Again Mr. Taft is staying out of Wisconsin so Mr. Vandenberg has a clear field against Mr. Dewey. Dewey strategists evidently are aware of the situation because their man is going to the Midwest again for some pre-primary campaigning. No great significance is attached here to last week's New Hampshire primary indorsement of a third term. The continued refusal of Democratic candidates other than Mr. Garner to come out in the open with their anti-third term views seems to be hurting the Texan’s prospects. Entry of an anti-third term Farley slate in Ohio would have improved that situation materially. Mr. Garner’s reaction to the situation is to redouble his efforts in such states as Wisconsin, Illinois, Oregon and California, where there will be direct contests between draft - Roosevelt and anti-third term forces.

State Senator Maps 6-Point Program in Bid for Renomination.

State Senator Jacoh Weiss, mem-: ber of the Indiana Legislature since 1930, today announced his candidacy for Democratic renomination in the May 7 primary. He was one of three candidates entering the primary lists over the week-end. The others were Sherwood Blue, 4232 Graceland Ave., Re--publican, for nomination as Prosecutor, and George E. Kincaid, present County Councilman, for the Republican nomination for County Commissioner, First District. In announcing his candidacy, Senator Weiss called for reduction in tax burdens and a more equitable distribution of the tax load, a larger return of State gasoline tax funds to Marion County and Indianapolis, a home rule authority for Indianapolis, an equitable balance between the needs of the people and property values, continued social efforts and the reduction of the cost of Government and tax burdens.

Terms Poll Tax Unfair

He declared the poll tax should be abolished as placing’ an unfair restriction on the man who ‘can least afford it without relieving the tax burden-in the least. Mr, Weiss said that although Indianapolis and Marion County pay more than one-tenth of the gasoline tax colections, they receive back only an infiflitesimal portion, forcing them to levy taxes to maintain roads and streets. Smaller cities, he said, are relieved of this tax burden by gas tax funds. - He has served as president pro tem. and as Democratic majority leader of the Senate, and in the last five general election campaigns has assisted the Democratic County chairman. He is a member of the Indiana Judicial Council and is vice chairman of the Commission on Interstate Co-Operation.

Four in Prosecutor Race

Mr. Blue is the fourth candidate to enter the local Républican Prosecutor race. Others who have announced are Russell J. Richardson, Glenn W. Funk and A. Jack Tilson. Mr. Blue has been practicing law here since, 1928. He has been a lecturer on advanced business law at the Indiana University Extension Division, and since 1935 has been™a lecturer in social work and the law at the I. U. training course for social work. His family has resided in Indianapolis more than a century. In his announcement, Mr. Blue said: | “The conduct of the Prosecutor’s office upon the highest plane, without stint of effort and with unremitting good conscience and unselfish devotion to the duties of that office, -is of paramount inportance.”
