A question reporters forgot to ask Semator VanNuys.during his news-making press conference yesterday was how he reconciled his no-third-term statement during the '38 campaign with his present indicated .intentions to seek a third term. =~ 0 The senator admits frankly that he did make that statement.

But, he says, he was good health, shai He says he covered that question in the press conference when he said he ‘would like to see his original objectives some of which still art pending, carried out land that he would like to participate in the peace and post-war adjustments at home. i * Senator VanNuys expects to remain at his headquarters at the Indianapelis Athletic club through next week and thereafter make visits te different sections of) the state. He does not expect to return to Washington until Sept. 1. : » # 8

The Bars Are Down

THE REACTION of supporters of ‘Governor Schricker, who are boosting him for the Democratic senatorial nomination, to Senator VanNuys' statements is that the bars are now down and the race for the nomination is on. They say that there is no ques-

tion that the. governor will be a candidate, regardless of what the

. senior senator does,

They had hoped, of course, that the senator would not seek renomination and that thus there would be no contest, And they are still hoping that when the senator finishes his ‘grass roots” sounding expedition that he will decide not be a candidate. In addition te the passing of resolutions recommending the governor for higher office at district meetings, the Schricker supporters have been doing a lot of spadework, contacting county chairmen and getting their pledges of support. Fors The Democratic Editorial association meeting this fall will be the kickoff for the real campaign. Ray E. Smith, secretary to the governor, is president of the editorial association. ; #2 8 =

That Bedford Rally

IT APPEARS that the men now in the saddle of the Republican state organization will select either Atty. Gen. James Emmert or State Auditor Richard T. James as their candidate to oppese Homer E. Capehart for the G. O. P. senatorial nomination. > Mr. Emmert’s name in being mentioned most frequently here but out over the state one hears Mr, James’ name mentioned the most. Mr, James is speaking tonight at a Republican rally in_ Bedford, the city in which Mr. Capehart: virtually announced his candidacy last month. o Political observers. see 4 tought rally as an attempt by Bedford Republicans = to convince. the Capehart-hating G.

“Warned About the Water

The last time the parents saw the three boys alive was about 2 p. m. yesterday when they all got permission from their mothers to go

back of Butler university campus. They had gone bicycling there many times before and, of course, had been warned about going into unguarded water. But after riding for a while in the hot sun the boys apparently succumbed to the lure of the cooling water of the canal nearhy and decided to go wading.

Jumped in To Save Him

According to Jack Stone, 14, of 610 W. 41st st., who was fishing in the canal near the scene of the tragedy, the Misner lad went in wading first. “Suddenly his feet seemed to slip out from under him as if the current k@iocked him off his balance and he went under,” the Stone bey related. “Then the older boy, I believe it was John Richards, jumped in the water to get him and he, too, went under. Then the Emery boy went in to try to help the other two boys.” : The Stone hoy said he dropped his fishing rod and ran to a small

Parents Identify Bikes ..

Mr. and Mrs. Richards and Mrs. Misner were the first ‘of the parents to arrive at the scene .and

identified the missing boys as their

sons by the bicycles left on the bank of the canal. : “I ought to know this bicycle is Jack’s because I painted it myself,” Mrs. Richards said. Mr. Misner did not learn of the tragedy until after he came home from the Curtiss-Wright Corp. plant where he works. :

‘Pets Wait for Return
