WELL, OUR LOGAL politicians have. now got to the point where they are saying for public print what they have been whispering. The kid-glove type of campaign which had been in progress here for six ‘weeks was just too much for them to stand, WAr Or nO War. ‘So now it's just an old-fashioned campaign with a lot of mud in the air and a lot more—some pretty solid hunks—to come during the next two weeks. oh Sidney Miller, grandson of the attorney ‘general in President Harrison's’ cabinet, led off for the G. . 0. P. :Wednesday ‘night by throwing virtually everything in the book at Judge Dewey E. Myers, the Democratic mayoral: nominee, and other leading Democrats.

WILSON SLAMS “CAPITAL AGAIN
Biggest Bottleneck of the War, He Tells House Colleagues.
: Times Special ; WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.—Repre-
sentative Earl Wilson, Hoosier Republican crusader who thinks Washington is a mess, got a whole hour in the house this week to unburden himself to his colleagues.
.“I asked for an hour on special
order so that I can talk about the biggest bottleneck in this war— Washington, D, C.,” the ninth district congressman explained.
“They don't have to take my word
for it. I got a trunkful of news-
paper clippings, many from the
leading Washington columnists, to prove my point.
Cites F. D. R.’s Criticism “Even the president admitted the
truth of this charge when he came back from his secret tour of the country and found that Washington inefficiency is no secret out in the states.
“The only trouble was he blamed
congress, -the press and some few underlings in his administration. That is like saying that the feet is| walking off with 'the head. He should have shouldered the blame himself. For basically the trouble is that we can’t win this war and carry, on the new deal at the same time. NIt is up to him to: provide the winning leadership, or continue new dealing and possibly lose.”

The Indiana Democrat didn’t join
in the questioning of Wilson, but there were plenty of others—particularly southerners—who did. At last they got the former Hoosier schoolmaster fighting mad. He told them that they were “just a bunch of New Dealers who cannot stand the truth.” And in answering a question from Rep. ] freshman Democrat from Tennessee, Rep. Wilson shouted:

“The trouble is that down there
in Tennessee they don’t even know how to read.”
Amends Complaint Seeing that the two Republicans
present, Reps. Earl C. Michner (R. Mich.) and Jessie Sumner (R. IN.) didn’t approve of such wild talk, Rep. Wilson added red-facedly:
“Of course we have some few in
Indiana who cannot read either.”
The result was a horse laugh. Up to that point Miss Sumner-had

POTOMAC HITS CREST, RECEDES
Capital Damage Small but - Other Eastern Areas
Suffer Severely.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 17 (U. P.). —The rampaging Potomac river began receding slowly here today after its swirling waters had hit new record high levels and inundated several low-lying sections of the capital. -
damage here would be comparatively negligible, due largely to hurried erection of sand-bag dikes in two * vulnerable spots—around : the city’s sewage disposal plant and between the Washington monument and Lincoln memorial grounds. Several families living along the river banks were evacuated from
their homes before the flood crest hit this region. . In Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia, however, floods along the
Savage rivers—as well as the Potomac—already had caused at least 15 deaths and property damage running into the millions,
Crest at 17.5 Feet
"At many points the floods were worse than the 1936 disaster which wrought damage at $9,464,000. The crest of the flood hit Washington early this morning. It registered 17.5 feet im Georgetown, 10.5 feet above flood stage. The Rappahannock also was receding ‘at Fredericksburg, Va., one of the hardest-hit towns. Fourteen were believed dead there, Police there said they were unable to estimate damage, but reported that little traffic was moving in or out of the city by mid-morning, they reported. President Roosevelt toured the flood section of Washington yesterday and ordered officials to spare neither effort nor money “to protect the city.”
EX-RESIDENT BURIED
John H. Robbins, a former Indianapolis resident, was buried yesterday at Arcadia. He died Thursday at the Masonic hospital in Franklin at the age of 95. 'Previously, he had lived here with a granddaughter, Mrs. Helen Pierce,

URGES ELECTION OF GOP HOUSE
Mrs. dann " Say; It's the Way to Check Follies Of New Deal.
If the voters in November will elect a Republican house and increase the Republican strength in the senate, “the follies of the New Deal can be checked,” Mrs. Dolly Gann told the fourth annual convention of the Indiana Federation of Women’s Republican clubs here
today. : “We can then get rid of the inefficiencies ‘in our government,
prosecute the war more vigorously and hasten the day of peace,” the sister of the late Vice President Charles E. Curtis said. “The. Republican party is needed in this emergency as never before since Lincoln’s time: Our party is the one implement that we can use to" hasten victory in the war and preserve our form of government and free enterprise system.” Samuel B. Pettengill, chairman of of the G. O. P. national finance committee, also addressed the convention.

Within minutes after the torpedoe smashed into the Caribou, she sank. Gunner: A. R.

There were 12 of us when we started, six men and six women. Only two women and three men came through. “We put the women on top of the .boat. The men hung onto the rope. I was in the water, all that time.” Wife Is Rescued : Mrs. Fielding, however, was rescued, and told her story from a hos-' pital bed: “My husband took me up on deck. He put his lifebelt on me. and threw me overboard. ‘Is he all right? I didn't see him again.” After swimming an hour, she was put on a raft by a soldier. He swam alongside, then disappeared.

‘Envied’ by Schricker
ONLY ‘AN hour or so later, Governor Schricker chimed in. “Dewey,” he said in addressing a Democratic rally, “if this is your machine, then I envy you.” (Mr. Miller had charged Judge Myers with being the “docile tool of the Democratic machine.”) The Republicans kept things going by having A. Jack Tilson, candidate for county clerk, concentrate on another major G. O.P. campaign point in a talk yesterday—how much money the Democratic candidates have drawn from the public coffers. He said Judge Myers has drawn $68,500; County Auditor Glen Ralston, $289,000; urer Walter Boetcher, $182,000; County Clerk Charles R. Ettinger, $123,700; Judge Cox, $78,000, and Superior Court Judge Joseph T. Markey, $78,000.

Times Special VINCENNES, Ind, Oct. 17.—The funeral of D. Frank Culbertson, 64-year-old Vincennes attorney and former state senator, was planned for tomorrow here. The former chairman of the|P® federal George Rogers Clark Memorial commission, died yesterday in a St. Louis hospital. He suffered a heart ailment ‘several months.
