Genial Jim Holds Lines
Firm" Against President's
‘Attempt to Dictate Nomination of
~ Candidate for Governor.
_ By THOMAS L. STOKES : NEW. YORK, Aug. 15.—Jim Farley has done what even the wise guys were betting he couldn’t do.
- He has stopped cold the attempt by President Roose-
elt -to. come into New York state and dictate the nomi-
nation of a Democratic candidate for Governor.
The hand-
picked White House candidate, Senator James M. Mead, who
was shoved intp the race at ‘Farley's candidate, John J.
the last minute against Mr. Bennett Jr., state attorney
general, never did get going somehow.
treat. Jim F, come of terference in state politics will undoubtedly have its effect far beyond New York, presaging the failure of socalled . “purge” campaigns, even in this year when the president’s prestige is so high. ' Strangely enough, the breakaway from Senator Mead started in
; Tammany, whose leader, Rep. Mi-
! ehael J. Kennedy, had pledged it to ‘Senator Mead and the White House in one of those gestures regarded .a85 a bid to strengthen the once famous and powerful political organization. Leaders Slip Noose
Five Tammany * district leaders slipped the noose and bolted to Mr: Bennett in two days, despite Mr. Kennedy. This breakaway was followed by the desertion of a district delegate in the Bronx, the private preserve of Boss Ed Flynn, who also is chairman of the Democratic national committee. This proved very embarrassing to Boss Flynn, one of the leaders upon whom the president was relying. Jim Farley was grinning at his press conference last night when he personally announced his triumph. “The changes that have taken place in Manhattan (the Tammany .realm) and in other places in the state prove conclusively that Mr. Bennett will be nominated,” he said. “At the present time I feel that a check-up would show there will be. more than 700 votes for him.” This would seem to forecast that the state Democratic convention, which opens next Wednesday in Brooklyn, would turn out to be merely a formality, instead of the knock-down-and-drag-out fight that was - indicated at first when the president chose to ¢hallenge his one-time friend and national political manager. There are 1014 delegates to the convention with that number of votes.
-- Mead May Withdraw
President Roosevelt and the New Dealers who were managing the » Mead campaign by telephone from Washington ° apparently expected ~’ something in the form of a bandwagon procession to their candidate, but nothing of the kind happened. To the contrary, Jim Farley’s lines held tight, and now a procession has started in the other direction. ‘There was talk, too, and it is still hezrd, about a compromise candidate, but Jim Farley pays no heed. He is demanding a full and complete victory—the nomination of Mr. Bennett who, he says can defeat Thomas E. Dewey, the certain Republican candidate, in November, the American Labor Party and others to the contrary.
" Will Mead Withdraw?
Whether Senator Mead will withdraw before the convention, or go down. to defeat there, was not . known; but such a move, in the interest of harmony, was anticipated in some quarters. The president, it was learned, privalely has confessed defeat in the Mead venture. This apparently is not a good year for “purges.” The primary elections, here and in other states, have failed to reveal any widespread public reaction to attempts to stir up vengeance purely on.the issue of iso- / lationism ‘before Pearl Harbor. There seems also to be resent‘ment against outside interference. Isolationism was not an issue in the Mead-Bennett contest, but outside intérference was, and it failed, even though it came from the president of the United States himself, and in his own state.

NAVY INSPECTS
Releases First Eye-Witness Account by High Official.
HEADQUARTERS, UNITED STATES PACIFIC FLEET, PEARL HARBOR, Aug. 15 (U. P.), — Japan’s bases in the Aleutians are a potential threat to both Alaska and Siberia but the Japanese will get a surprise if they try a major offenisive' from them, a high naval officer said last night after a tour of the fog-bound islands. “Right now the Japanese have not much in the way of strategic positions,” he said. “The fact that
they have toeholds constitutes a threat east and west. But key American bases are strongly defended and the immediate enemy menace is not great.”
Indian Warfare
In the first eye-witness description of the Aleutians situation by an officer under the command of Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, chief of the Pacific fleet, the informant said that because of the heavy, unpredictable weather, operations at present were a sort of Indian warfare in which stealth was the chief factor. The informant, reporting on developments in the last month, declined to speculate on possible specific enemy moves. He agreed that tHe Japanese might. have 10,000 men .in the area. “Our forces have made pany effective bombing dttacks on the Japanese,” he said, “and are hampering Japanese attempts to develop bases, mainly at Kiska.
Might Be 10,000 Japs
"Even local knowledge of the weather does not help much, the officer said, because the combination of fog and sudden wind éhanges makes conditions difficfit to forecast. “We roam up and down the Aleutian chain constantly in. heavy weather and fog,” he said. “It is a constant battle ' against the weather and it demands the greatest resourcefulness. and courage.” During’ the recent ‘bombardment of Kiska, he said, American navy surface ships advanced close to the
the crews could barely - see the blinker lights on the ships closest to them. For that reason, he explained, it was impossible - to observe results. . “If enemy aircraft carriers are operating -there they are ‘doing so under extreme difficulty and: they are vulnerable to surprise attack, » he said. The fogs generally clear by September, he said, but then come strong gales and the temperature drops to below zero.

The legion convention yesterday brought together two overseas: vet-
erans of World War I who hadn't met since they were mustered out of service in May, 1919—23 years ago. It happened like this: William Helgers, of Mellott, was approached by Robert Graney, a ticket seller at Union station, who inquired about the line of five medals Mr. Helgers was wearing. They looked familiar, for Mr. Graney admitted later he, too, has an identical set. Identity of the medals prompted Mr. Graney’s face to brighten with: ‘ “Why, doggone, gether ‘over there’!” And that they did, for they were members of the old 69th New York national guard which was converted into the 165th infantry regiment, part of the famous Rainbow division. They served together, 18 months overseas—12 months on the lines and. six months with the armies of occupation in Germany following the Armistice. Mr. Graney came to Indianapolis a month ago from Brooklyn, N. Y., and is. a member of Bruce P. Robison post 133 here. » Mr. Helgers is past commander of the-sixth district and his home post is Charles Forrest No. 288, Veedersburg. * The medals? Theyre the purple heart, the Mexican border, the|S0 silver star with palm, the campaign badge with bars denoting participation in five- major engagements, and the New York State medal.

Legionnaires from all walks of life have registered at the Claypool hotel convention desk for the state department conclave today and tomOrITow. Physicians, dentists, policemen— and defense workers, too — were among the early registrants yesterday, 24 hours ahead of the first convention session. # ” ” Harry Lorber ‘of Indianapolis post 348 was the first man to register. He was clocked a? 12:15 noon yesterday. He was described by registrants from the Indianapolis convention bureau as “a young fellow”—about 45. i 2 8 = The first Legionnaire from out of the city to sign up was Dean Bechtold of Garrett. He received his credentials shortly aft- _ er Mr. Lorber “checked in.” » ® = There was one from out of state, although it’s an Indiana state meeting.

women’s auxiliary, Mrs. Hattie Whitman of Columbia City was credited with being the first delegate to register. She was first among several hundred who had mailed their registrations in advance. 8 8 = The first auxiliary delegate to report to the registration desk yesterday was Mrs. Alivia Schnell of Santa Claus. She signed up at 9 a. m. : 2 2 tJ It’s streamlined, the entire convention—both in the women’s and 3 men’s activities. “We're down to business this year, directing our attention to our nation’s defense,” was the cry of the men and women behind this year’s session—the first state Legion meeting of world war IIL The Legionnaires have eliminated their colorful parade. The women have cancelled: the secretaries’ breakfast, war mother’s tea and child welfare luncheon, headline social funelions of past years. 4 #8 “Our banquet this year is the only social function,” sdid Mrs. Jean Randall of Indianapolis, uncontested candidate for historian. The dinner, which will be held at 7 p. m. today in the Claypool, will be of the “Victory” motif, featuring a red, white and blue color scheme—even the decorations and the menu. large “V” of flowers will form the centerpiece of the speakers’ table.
» [ZN W. E. Sayer, who is on leave of absence as state department adjutant, sent word that he would ‘arrive here today from Nashville, Tenn., where he is stationed with the ground. crew of the’ army air force. 2 2 = ~ National defense was uppermost in the minds of the convention committees when they planned the state meeting back there months ago. They scheduled the convention for Saturday and Sunday, “so as not to take time away from defense work—where many of the Legionnaires are engaged in this war." ¢ : Ce A. C. Duddleston of Terre Haute, who is 83 and believed to ke wc oldest Legionnaire in Indiana—
| and one of the oldest in the U. S.—
was expected to register today. (He’s never missed a ‘state convention): A captain during the first world war, he celebrated one birthday in France. Mr. Duddleston: has heen a newspaperman all his life and managing editor ‘of Terre Haute papers.. He atyended the meeting in the state house here in 1920 when the veterans organization, forerunner of
workers—with shirt sleeves rolled
the Indiana. Legion, was formed.

Declares Congressman
‘Back. from Alaska.
SEATTLE, Aug. 15 (U. P.).—Rep. Warren G. Magnuson . Wash.) reported last night that Japanese naval forces escaped destruction at Dutch Harbor because a standing U. S. navy order was not interpreted | “liberally” by the army, but “there| is no possibility of this happening | again.”. “Failure on the part of one army. command to interpret liberally’ standing naval orders regarding
which gave the enemy an oppor- | : tunity to remove itself,” said Madg-| nuson who returned yesterday from | | an aerial inspection of Alaskan bases. Magnuson, said he understood i the ariny command at the unspeci-| . fied Alaskan base which could have| sent bombers on June 3-4, when
had been relieved of duties. ~ 1 A navy PBY patrol plgne had a’ Japanese carrier under continual, observation soon after the attack on Dutch Harber and its crew awaited arrival of the army’s land- | based bombers to make the kill, Magnuson said’ he had been. informed. “The army command, however, believed "its orders were not broad enough to warrant sending out a bombing force at this stage of the battle without definite isos) tions,” Magnuson said. |
WICKARD GETS PLAN T0 ERADICATE BORER
Recommendations for control of the European corn borer under the 1943 AAA farm program in Indi: ana ‘Were sent yesterday to Seécretary of Agriculture Claudé R.. Wickard, according to an announce-
|ment by L. M. Vogler, state AAA -
chairman. ; Recommendations, . Mr. Vogler said, include the planting of. trap crops of corn in all of the state’s counties, according to the program the trap crop will be planted at least two weeks prior to the usual planting season. - The crop is to be carefully cultivated - and then plowed under not later than July 1, if approved by the county AAA committee, Mr. Vogler said. A soil building payment of $3 an acre to be paid for plowing under the crop also was announced in the recommendations. - The. trap crop will ‘not count against AAA allotments if properly plowed under. Effectiveness ‘of the corn borer control plan, he said, will be greater if all farmers. plan to plant a few acres of extra corn next spring as a trap crop. : Since the corn borer can fly up to 20 miles, complete co-operation by all: farmers will be necessary, he said. ;

ONDON, Aug. 15 (U. P.).—Ger1y has a new super-bomber be+d ‘capable of carrying 1000 ads of bombs to New York and rning to the French occupied :t, Wing Comm. Max Aitken, son lord Beaverbrook, said in a rdeast last night. mm. Aitken said his squadron ‘zech airmen in the Royal Air ‘ea had shot down one of the es, a Heinkel-1717. ie Heinkel has a range of 2000 3 with a bomb load of 3000 ds, Aitken said, but could make flight from Brest, France, to York and return with 1000 ds. ’ 1e Heinkel is comparable in size speed to Britain’s Lancaster Stirling bombers which carry t-tons of bombs. It has a wing ad of 133 feet as compared to Lancaster’s 102 and the Stirl- ; 99. ;perts commenting on Comm.
believed Germany did not have many super-Heinkels now. . It was believed that Heinkel production had suffered heavy damage by the four smashing raids the RAF made on Rostock in March. The authoritative Jane’s all the world’s aircraft puts the Heinkel’s bomb. load at 8000.pounds and its maximum speed at 300 miles an hour. On the basis of Aitken’s statements, the suggestion was revived that Germany might at some time attempt a “psychological” raid on the American Atlantic coast.

If Perry township wins: the back tax dispute, Decatur: township will be bankrupt, township officials ad mitted today.
It all started back in 1933 when. county commissioners ruled that the boundary line between Decatur and Perry townships was in. the wrong place and moved it north just enough to include all the Harding st. property of the Indie anapolis Power & Light Co. Res cently the supreme court upheld. that ruling.

' The light company property haps pened to comprise about two-thirds of ‘all Decatur township's property valuations and its removal to Perry township’s tax duplicates : means that the whole tax burden in De= catur falls back on individual prop= erty owners. As the result of this loss, Decatup township’s present rate of 53 cents may have to be boosted to $1.59, the highest in the township's hise tory. This would make the total rate for next year about $2.25, coms pared to $1.12 this year. )
