Jeffrey Promises 2 Per Cent Club Quiz

Times Special EVANSVILLE, Ind. April 19.— George R. Jeffrey, Republican gub-

~ernatorial candidate, said last night

that if elected, one of his first acts would be to determine if the “Two Per Cent Club” owes Gross Income Tax. He said he also would seek to determine if the club officers are ‘liable to prosecution under the Corrupt Practices Act and whether the club is exempt from reporting ‘its contributions. - Speaking at a Republican club rally, Mr. Jeffrey said former Gov‘ermor Paul V. McNutt was the “father” of the club and that his Secretaries and closest ‘advisers incorporated it.

McNutt has admitted the failure of the New Deal i bring about a “more abundant e. ” ..-Senator Jenner quoted Mr. MecNutt as saying at Arkadelphia, Ark., ‘that “when conditions we ourselves ‘have created are mastered, we shall truly perform miracles.” .Mr. McNutt spoke a truth that “has been evident not only to ReJpublicans but to the majority of the people of the United States, Senator Jenner said.

War ‘Inter-Meddling’ _ The European situation must not ‘be permitted to becloud “the fact that the New Deal domestic poli-

cles have failed,” Ernest E. Owens,

Republican candidate for the 12th District congressional nomination, said last night. ‘* Speaking at a meeting at 533 Senate Ave., he said the welfare of Ahe United States depends upon holding aloof from the European ‘conflict. “While the President, from time ‘to time, expresses his determination to keep ‘America out of the war, his actions. and recommendations do not look in that direction,” Mr. Owens said. “Scolding notes to other nations about matters of their internal licy is not the way to keep out of war. We would not tolerate such

conduct from other nations con-

cerning our own domestic affairs

“and certainly they do not appreciate

our inter-meddling.”

MRS. TAFT RAPS, REGIMENTATION

New Deal Sets Sets Up Relief Class System, South - Bend Rally Told.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. April 19 (U. P.)—The New Deal is seeking more and more governmerital control and regimentation toward a socialized state, Mrs. Robert A. Taft, wife of the Ohio Senator and Republican Presidential aspirant, last night told a meeting of several hundred Republicans. She charged, the New Deal lacks the spirit of liberty and justice for all. “It has set up a class system in relief that is a flagrant example of the lack of justice,” she asserted. She said her husband favors relief with Federal funds, but with

_|local administration. This, she said,

would provide a fairer, more efficient and far more economical administration because it would eliminate much of the overhead. “We Republicans think of government,” she said, “as a .sort of traffic police to keep the people from running into each other and injuring one another, but the present administration thinks the way to handle the situation is to jump

N.|in and run all the trucks. The New

Deal doesn’t believe in the capabilities of the American people to run themselves.” Mrs. Taft said that she had found people throughout the United States almost unanimous in their: determination to keep out of the European war and ddded that “even the suggestion of war brings emergency power to the government and it is difficult for the people to get it back.” “People should be concerned with these powers,” she warned, “and if they are conferred be sure they are given to a man who will not use them for his own power but who

4 will return them eagerly.”

Dr. May Cravath Wharton, who, at 68, travels by mule or horseback through the Cumberland Mountains to administer to the ill and destitute, came to Indiana today to present the cause of the hospital

she founded and directs. Dr. Wharton, cousin of Paul D. Cravath, president of the Metropolitan Opera Co., is director of “Uplands,” hospital and health resort on the Cumberland Plateau, 2000 feet above sea level, 11 miles from any town and 100 miles from one of any size. Tall, erect, vigorous, the doctor arrived by train, describing it as “much more comfortable than the trip I had the other day.” She referred to a 25-mile journey, partly by auto, horseback and four miles on foot to visit a patient in the backwoods country. A member of a missionary family, Dr. Wharton after graduation from the University of Michigan began her work as a medical settlement worker in the slums of Cleveland. She served the sick in the New England mountains. Twenty-three years ago she went to Pleasant Hill, Tenn., a hamlet, with her® husband, now deceased, who became principal of the Pleasant Hill Academy for mountain boys and girls. Seeing the suffering of the people, trapped in isolated caves, and in circumstances which would prevent them from getting medical care even if it was available, she went to work. “ ‘Uplands’ was just a shack when we started 23 years ago,” she said. “All we had was that building with two beds and about fifty dollars.” ‘The institution now includes two main hospital buildings with 50 beds, six bassinets and “many drawers which are often used for babies, but only two free beds, the only ones available in Tennessee outside of the cities.”

Dr. Wharton’s Indiana visit is to interest Hoosiers in the work of the

institution and obtain assistance in providing needed free beds. The mountains are more thickly populated than an yother under=privileged rural section of the country, she said, and in all ways they stand at the lowest in health and medical conditions. Most of the people who have work, she said, are On WPA. , The people have the fewest doctors, she said, the fewest hospitals, the most diseases on account of inadequate diet and seek medical service the least because they are the least accustomed to it. That is why aid must go to them, rather than them coming for aid. “It’s always just a ‘little piece’ to where they live,” she said, but ‘four miles by road’ usually turns out to be eight miles and very little road. “But when I go into a mountain cabin, I feel I am in a real American home where family life means everything.” Dr. Wharton traveles in all kinds of weather, but the kind she tries to avoid is during what she calls the “tick season,” the warm season when insects cover the ground. “Uplands” has no endowment, is not supported by any particular denomination and is dependent chiefly

committee has been formed to interest northern philanthropists in the work. Harold B. West, president and treasurer of the West Baking Co. here, is a member of the committee. Dr. Wharton is a guest in the West home, 4120 N. Illinois St. Dr. Wharton will speak at 6:30 p. m.,today in the First Congrega-

day morning in the Union -Congregational Church.

REILEY SUPPORTED IN PROSECUTOR RAGE

Garth B. Melson, Indianapolis atforney, today issued a statement supporting the candidacy of William E. Reiley for the Republican nomination for Prosecutor. Mr. Melson said one of the reasons he favors Mr. Reiley’s candidacy is that Mr. Reiley is “aware of the difference between prosecution and persecution.” He said there are two things which Mr. Reiley dislikes in a prosecutor. “One,” he said, “is the use of the office as a political sweapon directed against certain individuals. The other is a lop-sided sense of values which fosters the prosecution of

|petty offenses and overlooks major

criminal activities.” Mr. Melson said Mr. Reiley “has the judgment which will tell him how to mobilize his energies in prosecuting our criminal offenses.”

Funk Calls Trustee Inquiry ‘Politics’ The present Grand Jury investigation of the Warren Township Trustee’s activities was termed “political persecution” in a statement issued today by Glenn W. Funk, Republican candidate for Prosecutor. “The Prosecutor’s office,” Mr. Funk said, “made a promise to the people months ago that it would make a full and complete investigation into the affairs of the Warren Township Trustee. The last Grand Jury conducted such an investigation and nothing of an official nature ever was reported.

minor charges have been obta. in the Democratic debauch of publie funds in Center Township they are attempting to draw the ‘red herring’ across the path of the Republican Party once more, and thus becloud the issue of good government that is before the people.”

Citizens ‘Fed Up’ on Trusts, Stark Asserts

The average citizen is “fed up” on anything smacking of« trusts or

publican candidate for the 12th Dis-

trict ~~ Congressional = nomination, said last night. = Speaking at meetings at 145 Geisendorff St. and 533 N. Senate Ave. Mr. Stark said “price fixing of com-

'modities, whether initiated by the

Government or by monopolistic combinations, is unfair to industry, |, bad for labor and unjust to the consuming public. “The major part of the business of this country is small business and it should be encouraged and protected from the unfair competiiv of monopoly. If the Federal Government wants to investigate and regulate business, let it pursue with increased vigilance the prosecution of unlawful price fixing combines.”

Congress Made Up of ‘Yes. Men,” Collins Says

Congress has become the “greatest ‘ves’ body of all time, under pressure of New Deal influence,” James A. Collins, Republican candidate for the 12th District Congressional. nomination, charged in a campaign statement today. Commenting that Congress formerly had the reputation of being the greatest deliberative body in any government in the world, he added that “under the present setup. in Washington, it has been repeatedly likened to the famous dummy comedian, Charlie MecCarthy.” “Not a single one of the 49 or more alphabetical bureaus now operating under Federal supervision would have been created by any other €ongress that gathered on Capitol Hill,” he said. ;
