FRIDAY,

JON iS DECISION ON STATE RACE NEAR

Highway Commission Member May Announce Tomorrow,

Whether He’ll Seek Nomination as Treasurer; McClain Only Candidate.

-—

Preliminary to making a definite decision on whether to enter the race for the Democratic treasurer’s nomination, Jap Jones, state highway commission member, today went back to his h-.ae town of Ft. Wayne “to sound out” his

friends there.

He indicated that he probably would make an announcement “one way or the other” tomorrow.

His decision is being awaited with a great deal of intereste by all groups in the Democratic party. Should he decide to run, he, & member of the state highway eommission, would be marked automatically as an administration candidate against Harry McClain, Shelbyville, state insurance commissioner during the McNutt admin-

istration. McClain in Race

Mr. McClain, a close personal friend of Pleas Greenlee, former McNutt patronage secretary, so far is the only candidate in the race. Many leaders in the Schricker administration are reportedly opposed to Mr. McClain, not on personal grounds, but because of his gonnections with Mr. Greenlee. The governor himself is keeping his “hands off” pledge in regard 0 the convention, but it is reported that he is not now standing in Mr. Jones’ way should he choose to enter the race. For some time it was reported that the governor was anxious to have Mr. Jones remain at his post in the highway commission, staying out of a political fight. Meanwhile, many party leaders were combing the state for a woman to place on the ticket.

Bauldridge Indorsed

The woman many of them had hoped to place on the ticket, Miss Katherine Patton of Gary, was practically eliminated as a political contender Wednesday night when Lake county delegates adopted the unit rule and indorsed Vernon Bauldridge of Gary instead of Miss

Patton. Both Miss Patton and Mv.) Bauldridge were candidates for the rubber belting, {other such items are to be found on | farms.

nomination of clerk of the supreme and appellate courts. In indorsing Mr. Bauldridge, many Lake county delegates assailed what they termed ° ‘interfer- | ence” by the state organization in| behalf of Miss Patton. Mr. Bauldridge is not regarded so highly by some present state Democratic leaders because he held an auto license branch under Dick Heller, former patronage secretary during the Townsend administration. Clayton Backed The Lake county group also decided to cast its 179 votes for L. Barney Clayton, former Gary mayor, for the Democratic nomination of state auditor, and George Hershman, Crown Point lawyer, for the appellate court judgeship nomination. This action enters Mr. Clayton against E. Curtis White of Indianapolis who had been unopposed so far for the auditor's nomination. But most party leaders discount Mr. Clayton's chances, pointing out that he couldn't even win the Demo-

cratic mayoral nomination in the

recent primary.

CHINESE FORCES SAY 2000 JAPS WIPED OUT

CHUNGKING, June 26 (U. P.).— Chinese forces have killed 2000 Japanese attacking positionson the slopes of the Taihang mountains, and are fighting desperately to throw them out of the suburbs of the important air base city of Lishui, the Chinese army communique said today. Loss of the highway town of Kinki, 80 miles southeast of Nanchang on the Kiangsi province front was admitted by the Chinese. A battle still was raging in the vicinity of Kwangfeng, where a Japanese detachment, trying to cross the Hsin river, was ambushed. More than 300 of the enemy drowned.

FARMERS ASKED

+ T0 HUNT RUBBER

Told to Bring It to Trading|

Centers: Sullivan Issues New Appeal.

A state-wide plea to farmers to search their homes and buildings for scrap rubber and bring it to their trading centers tomorrow night, was issued today by both state and county campaign officials. “We've found that the rubber available per capita is much greater on the farms than it is in the cities, and that’s where we're placing the emphasis now,” Sam Hurd, state committee publicity chairman, said today. He said small country telephone exchanges were plugging in several of the patrons at once and conducting “party line” broadcasts on the rubber drive. Farmers have been asked to hang a rag on their mail boxes if they have rubber and it is being picked up by oil company trucks servicing rural areas. Co-operating in the drive to get the rubber in at country trading centers tomorrow night are 4-H clubs, farmers’ organizations, AAA workers and county agricultural directors.

Phil T. Williams, county cam-

paign chairman said that undoubt- |

edly

Leland K. Fishback of the state executive committee, said that rub{ter is “pouring in faster now than it has during all the campaign.” Mayor Sullivan, in a special statement today, urged every Indianapolis householder to search his home thoroughly this week-end for every available bit of rubber.

MOSCOW, June 26 (U. P.).— Marusya Baida, a member of the Russian girl scouts aiding in the defense of beleaguered Sevastopol, killed 25 German soldiers when they surrounded and tried to capture her, dispatches from Sevastopol said today.

DISTRICT WPA DOORS TO SHUT

5000 Will Be Taken Off Roles Next Week and 2500 in August.

In anticipation of a greatly reduced work relief appropriation for the coming fiscal year, the WPA district office here will be closed July 1 and the Ft. Wayne office will be moved shortly to smaller quarters, John K. Jennings, state administrator, said today. Supervision of WPA activities in the 22 counties hithertofore directed by the Indianapolis district headquarters will be taken over by the state office here. Mr. Jennings also reported that 137 administrative employees will blose their jobs June 30, with a further administrative reduction to be made during July.

Drop 5000 Next Week

At a meeting with the four WPA district managers here this week, details also were worked out to drop 5000 from the WPA rolls next week land another 2500 during August. As a result of next week’s dismissals, the WPA rolis for district 1 will be reduced from 5161 to 3734 men; district 2, from 2777 to 1962; district 3, from 5698 to 4038, and district 4, from 3939 to 2813. Mr, Jennings pointed out that the cuts in project employment are in line with the reduced WPA appropriation bill now before congress. During the next year, he added, WPA operations in Indiana will be confined for the most part to certified war projects and other projects important to public welfare, The division of training and reemployment will continue its program of training WPA workers for war jobs and no quota reduction will be made in that division, the state administrator said.

IT’S ONE MORE DAY NEARER TO VICTORY

a

ONE OF THE RESULTS of the overwhelming victory of the Ralph Gates-Burrell Wright team at last week’s Republican state convention was to catapult the name of Mr. Gates squarely into the far-away 1944 G. O. P. gubernatorial race. His foes say that his activity at the convention gave gave definite proof of his gubernatorial ambitions and his friends say that he

“truly represents” the Republican party in Indiana and deserves the nomination. Mr. Gates himself pooh-hoos all this early talk—as would any politician who has ‘been in the busjness for two decades. e well realizes that if some disaster should befall the party during his leadership, such as the Democrats winning a number of the eight Congressional seats now held by Republicans, he probably would be back at Columbia City practicing law very shortly. Despite what he says, his opponents point out as definite proof of his “present” gubernatorial ambitions the fact that his home district, the fourth, did not place or even try to place a man on the state ticket at the convention over which Mr. Gates had control. This was done, they say, so that Mr. Gates in 1944 could point out to the delegates that the fourth district didn't get anything in 1942. These opponents assert also that his gubernatorial ambition was the chief reason Mr. Gates went “to bat” for his old friend, Rue Alexander, for the secretary of state nomination. If elected in the fall, Mr. Alexander will have control of the patronage-heavy motor vehicle li-

—

cense bureau, and that could be used to good advantage for Mr. Gates’ candidacy in 1944, they add. There is no doubt in party circles that Mr. Gates will be in a strong position to capture whate ever office he wants in 1944, if the party makes a good showing im the fall election. His control of the party at pres= ent is fairly complete. » 2 =» ANOTHER POLITICAL figure who. is shying away from talk by both friends and foes of his future ambitions is Governor Schrécker. Practically every politician in both parties regards the Governor as a cinch candidate for the Democratic senatorial nomination in 1944 to succeed Senator Fred- : erick VanNuys. But when asked about this, the chief executive, makes one flat statement, “I have no ambitions.”
