Indiana head of the agency. Of Mr. McNutt, Mr. Peters said he was responsible for providing “the machinery by which all benefits of Federal legislation would be available” in Indiana, and that during his term of office the Legislature enacted aid to | “agriculture, labor, business and banking.” Departing from his text, Mr. Peters said, “I do not now have, nor shall not have, any quarrel with any other member of my party envolving personalities. . . We should join as Democrats to do our bit to give Indiana a chance to nominate a citizen to the highest office in the nation. . . . What I can contribute to the success of the party I will contribute.” Mr. Peters credited Governor Townsend with the improvements of relations between industry and labor by his “common sense and fair play,” and said the Governor was responsible for a‘state-wide safety program.

An Olive Branch? Observers here said the references to both Mr .McNutt and Governor Townsend might be an olive branch to .the reported divisions in the party. A conference at Indianapolis recently was reported to have ended in an agreement for a strictly hands-off policy until the state convention. While no split in party accord || exists, Mr. Peters is reported to have the unannounced support of Governor Townsend, while Mr, McNutt is said to favor Lieut. Gov. Henry Schricker, who announced his candidacy several weeks ago. To date, the two are the only ones in the field. : Attending the rdlly here were Pleas Greenlee, former secretary to Mr. . McNutt, who pledged Mr. Peters “all my support”; Floyd Wil laimson, former state auditor; Albert Stomp, Democratic senatorial nominee in 1926 and 1928; T. A. Dicus and Cliff Sinfff of the State Highway Commission; John Heller, Decatur, and V. M. Simmons, Fourth district/ chairman. Alex Gordon, Indianapolis labor leader; Al Feeney, Marjon County Sheriff; Mrs. A. P. Flynn, one-time party vice chairman, and others wired congratulations.

sPetit Issues Statement

Otto W. Petit, a Republican candidate for Sheriff, issued a statement today pledging that if elected he would maintain three patrol cars, using station wagons which were] equipped with first aid and riot materials as well as fire extinguishers. In the event of a serious accident, the deputies would be able to give first aid, and then transport the injured to a hospital. The deputies also would ‘be able to extinguish small fires in the rural areas, he said. Mr. Richardson, in filing for prosecutor, announced that a volunteer publicity and speakers’ bureau of more than 50 persons has been formed to support his candidacy, . “The principles I announced in 1937 and which won the confidence or more than 17,000 Republican voters are still in my platform,” Mr. Richardson. said.

Registered Optemetrist—Office at

Ernest E. Owens, Republican candidate for 12th District Congressman, told a group of Negro busi-

day at the Walker Theater that “the ‘existence of the New Deal depends upon a continuation of poverty.” “It maintains a horde of bureaucrats who swarm out from Washington, and whose jobs depend upon the misery of the people. They feed upon the taxes wrung from the productive toil of the people. These taxes in effect are shackles upon the productive life of the nation. ‘Businessmen will not venture into new fields and business stagnates.”’ "He added that the Democratic Party “is not the friend of the Negro people now and never has been.”

COUNCIL SPLITS

ONE. 10THPLAN

Residents Oppose Designating Three-Block Frontage For Business.

The second battle of E. 10th St. was on today as City Council, as a body, remained neutral. The battie raged over a City Plan Commission ordinance rezoning residential property on E. 10th St. between Linwood and Gladstone Aves. to business use. The property

4401 E. 10th St., who told Ceuncilmen he wants to sell it. A group of E. 10th St. residents, whd defeaved an attempt last summer to set ap a Mardi Gras on the land, told Council they opposed the ordinance | it meant that a carnival could be hd there this summer.

Want Streets Platted

Mr. Neuerburg assured them the rezoning would merely enable him to sell lots on the three-block long property to business enterprises. The residents then demanded that adequate provision be made for | streets through the property and that this be incorporated in an smendment. : Mr. Neuerburg = opposed the amendment, proposed by Edward J. Fillenwarth for “he residents, asserting the ctreets would be cut through according to Plan Commission specifications. As the debate developed, Councilmen got into it. And when the measure came to a vote, four of the eight members present opposed it.

A Tecnical Failure

An argument then developed be-= tween Council President Joseph G. Wood, a Democrat, and Harmon A. Campbell, Republican, over whether the ordinance had passed or failed. Mr. Wood said it had failed, but Mr. Campbell maintained that a 50 per cent vote was enough to pass ya Plan Commission ordinance. The members dispatched Adolph Emb .rdt Jr. to look up the law on the subject and relaxed. Mr. Emhardt reported back that the measure, technically, had failed. The opposition, led by Mr. Wood, then agreed to compromise by reconsidering ‘the measure at the next meeting. Council deferred action on the siealth Board's milk ordinaice, pending the preparation of amendments to it and further) public hearings.

for legitimate purposes, surely Mr. Elder could have no motive for withholding this information. “Perhaps if Mr. Elder made a clean breast of the dubious financial dealings of this mysterious Two. Per Cent organization, he would blow a little life into the deflated Presidential boom of his idel, Paul V. McNutt. From word we hear from Washington these days, few of the newspaper observers or. Democratic political leaders are aware that Paul McNutt is in the Presidential race.”

Democrats Divided, He Says

He added that Democratic National Chairman James A. Farley was “surrounded and almost stifled” by McNutt leaders on. his recent visit here, but “refused all comment on the McNutt candidacy, not even dignifying it with a denunciation, although all politicians know . . .

vancement for McNutt.” | Mr. Jeffrey said there are two definite Democratic factions in ithe state, one “the McNutt ‘Two Per Cent’ crowd which is backing Lieut. Gov. Henry PF. Schricker surreptitiously in the face of public assertions of neutrality.” “The other,” Mr. Jeffrey said, “is the blacktop paving, buying State House gang which is supporting R. Earl Peters. It is the same State House and antiState House fight and the ones who will profit will be the Republicans.”

WILLIS RAPS F.D.R. | ON FOREIGN POLICY

Times Special AKRON, Ind., April 2 = Raviaond E. Willis, candidate for the G. O. P. senatorial nomination, charged that

matic policies “are similar to those that led - America into the World War,” in an address here-last night. “The publication in Berlin of documents alleged to have been found in the foreign offices of conquered Poland, express a striking similarity of present-day events with those which less than a generation ago, led America into a war in which thousands ‘of our boys were slaughtered,” Mr. Willis said. “Wars do not begin with the roar of cannons—they begin with unwarranted interference in the affairs. of ‘other nations. Of course, America will co-operate in every sound way to build a lasting peace in Europe but America has no diplomatic formulae or assurance which can offer Europe a solution of a controversy based up age old lusts for power and possessions.”
