== MINTON EXPECTS “NO OPPOSITION

‘Just Newsnaner Talk. He Says; McNutt Predicts Senator’s Choice.

By DANIEL M. KIDNEY { Times Staff Writer

WASHINGTON, March 19.—Senator Sherman Minton doesn't believe that he will face “opposition in the Indiana Demdcrafic convention

sion of the Hatch Law to the states, he declared today. “That is just.a lot of newspaper talk and perhaps some wishful “I will be renominated by. the Democrats without "opposition; whether the ‘newspapers like it or not.” This view was shared by Federal Security Administrator Paul V. McNutt, who, as the Indiana Democrats’. Presidential candidate, is recognized as chief of the party. “There isino doubt but Senator Minton ‘will be renominated and re-elected,” the former Governor commented. Other Democrats ‘here pointed out that the party is facing enough trouble trying to .find a:candidate for Governor who might stand a chance of winning. They consider it unlikely that party leaders will want to add the burden of finding someone suitable for another major position on the ticket. The only possibility of Senator Minton not being renominajed would be his appointment to: a Federal judgeship, they say. The Senator long has had his eye on the bench. Hoosiers Democrats here are di-

'| vided in their opinions as to the ef-

fect the Hatch law fight will have on Senator Minton’s political fortunes, particularly with regard to the inSepenasns voter. ajority seem to feel that he ei have been better off if he had fot assumed leadership in the scrap. This view (is held by Senator Frederick VanNuys, who voted against the numerous ajtempts of Senator Minton and his cohorts to kill or emasculate the measure. ~ a } “ |

GROCER LOSES $500 IN EAST SIDE HOLDUP

An east side grocer reported to police last night that.a man wearing a long black overcoat accosted him as he was getting in his ‘car in front of his grocery, 2326 E. Washington St. and obtained $500. Oliver Riggs, 47, of 413 N. Pine St., ‘the grocer, said the man prodded him in the back with what he thought was a revolver, and fled | north bbtween the buildings. '

because of his fight against exten-|

German north flank against attack and threatened to seal the southeastern European front against the Allies. \ Both Allied Governments were under incre&singly sharp criticism. In Paris the French Chamber of Deputies began secret debate on the Government's . foreign policy after 6 deputies asked Premier

to take the war initiative away from Germany and Russia. Deputies said that they would ask M. Daladier to form a war Cabinet composed of resolute “uncompromijsing men distinguished for action rather than their political affiliations.” Indications were that orators in the Chamber would veto any proposals for a compromise peace.

Peace Hope Appears Slim

In Rome and Vatican City, the emphasis was on the possibility of peace discussions in which there was

lan obvicus effort to interest the .| United States but under the smoke

there appeared to be little change in the positions of the belligerents and thus slight hope that progress could be made toward getting them together. The: Vatican was understood to have transmitted an 11-point peace plan fo Sumner Welles, the U. S. Undersecretary of State and Berlin dispatches spoke of peace terms that agreed : in ‘general with this plan. But both proposals were for peace on Herr Hitler's own terms. The 1l-poi-* plan as given by a Vatican informant follows: 1. General and simultaneous disarmament on land, sea and air;

Tripartite State Lis

2. Formation of a . small, independent Poland in the center part] of the former state, around Warsaw, with about 10 million population; Gdynia to be a Polish port on the Baltic; the Poles to have a free port‘at Danzig and Polish commerce to the Baltic to be facilitated; boundaries of the small Polish state to be determined by plebiscites under international commissions; minorities prohlems to be solved in the Danubian emigrations;. 3. Czechs, Slovaks and Hungarians to form a tripartite state allied to Germany with Germany to hold certain industrial and communications rights for 25 years; 4. Austria forever to remain in the Reich; . 5. Germany to ge} back her colonies’ within 25 years or at least certain colonial concessions or the protection .of German emigration to certain zones in Africa; _ 6. A Danubian confederation to be formed with the paricipation of

7. A Balkan status quo thereafter, protecting the frontiers such as Rumania’s Transylvania and Bessarabia districts; 8. Absolute liberty of religion; Germany’s remaining Jews to emigrate under the direction of Britain to Palestine, to Italian East Africa and to French Madagascar; 9. Absolute liberty of trade -after the war; no tariff barriers for raw materials and direct contacts for economic collaboration with the United States; also facilitation for German and Italian emigration such as Malians to Tunisia and Germans to Africa; 10. Special treatment of Italian commerce at Djibouti, also free passage at Suez beginhing in 1945; 11. A new statute for Italians in Tunisia. In brief Germany feels that she shquld retain her territorial gains except for the creation of some form of semi-independent Polish and Czech states; that the German colonial interests should be restored; that the Balkans should be put under strong German and Italian (and perhaps Russian) influence; and that the power of the British Empire should’ be ‘broken.

Chamberiain Is Cheered . During Fighting Speech LONDON, March 19 (U. P)— Neville Chamberlain, Britain’s 71-year-old Prime Minister, today made a | fighting speech to the House of Commons designed to counter-attack a series of German diplomatic triumphs and to cut the ground from under his critics at home. He was loudly cheered as he said that: 1. Great Britain and France will not be hustled into dangerous military adventures but will choose the time and place to strike at Germany most effectively. 2. German threats against Sc#ndinavia broke up at the last moment a vast Allied plan to send 100,000 men and more if necessary to save Finland and, if necessary, to fight Germany and Russia in northern Europe. 3. Persons far away (obviously in the United States) are mistaken when they criticize the Allies for failing to intervene in Finland be-

y A

pared, but never asked, to go the limit for the Finns and Germany was Jresponsible for Finland's loss of independence. ° 4. Neutral nations cannot hope to be saved unless they show a “determination to defend themselves and join others (the Allies) who are ready to aid them in their defense.” That was the Prime Minister's bluntest reference to the attitude of neutrals, whq previously had been criticized by First Lord of the Admiralty Winston Churchill. 5. Germany is an “unscrupulous” foe and has long been prepared to strike in force at any hour.

British naval base at Scapa Flow did only minor damage to one warship (instead of the four claimed. to have been damaged by the Germans) and was of slight i importance.
