WASHINGTON, Oct. 3 (U, PF The second naval officer involved in 8 scrap which broke out in the Statler hotel here on the night of President Roosevelt's address to the A.

He formerly was chief maintenance engineer for Eastern Air Lines, : Lt. Randolph Dickins Jr, the other officer, told his story yesterday.

companion was held down by the alleged attackers throughout the melee, Suddeth corroborated Dickins' story except for what he called “a few minor differences.” He had me completely down throughout the fight,” Suddeth said. “Actually, I was only halfway down and I was doing my almightiest to get back up.” President Daniel P. Tobin of the Teamsters’ union denied in New York versions of the scrap which said he was involved in it. He said he “never heard of this affair until I read it in the papers.”
Doesn't Recognize Tobin
Dickins, a veteran of the Battle of Midway who has been a battle fatigue patient at the Navy hospital in Bethesda, Md., did not recognize Tobin from a photograph as one of his ‘opponents. Tobin said reports he had attacked the naval officer were “libelous and slanderous.” Such reports were circulated, he said, in hope “that a political

The party retained control in virtually every community, and by heavier majorities than two years ago. There were only two switches in allegiance, Ashford went Demoeratic for the first time in three years, while North Stonington swung into the Republican column.

Times Special LINTON, Oct. alt Auditor Richard T. James, G. O. P. nominee for lieutenant governor, asserted here last night that Earl. Browder and his Communists “have not been repudiated by any leading New Deal candidates in Indiana or elsewhere.” “Their continued silence,” he said, “will mean they are very willing to campaign with the active help of the Communist organization, accepting lip service, financial help and, it is fair to believe, the commitments such support means.”
BEDFORD, Ind, Oct. 3 (U.P). — Closing arguments were set for today in the second-degree murder trial of Everett Toon, 60, charged with the fatal shooting of Dennis Coleman during a political quarrel. The defense made a surprise move yesterday when it rested its case without calling any witnesses. In its cross-examination, the defense hadgattempted to show that Coleman and his brother, James, whom toon also is charged with beating fatally, were intoxicated and quarrelsome when they went to a neighbor's home where the argument occurred.

The Political Action Committee must have the money to do the job. “Your dollars and the dollars of the members of your union can help solidify the peace, insure employment and security after. the war and build the foundation for happiness for all our
Mr. Frisbie said that P, A. C. funds are used to buy literature, radio time, posters, hahdbills and to pay “for necessary services” in getting voters to register and vote. “The entire future of our coun» try depends on what we do now,” he said in his letter. “Indiana id a key state, it’s importance can't be over-emphasized.” He urged all P. A. C, leaders fo do everything possible “to persuade workers particularly to contribute voluntarily to political action.” Of each $1 collected, 50 cents goes to the national P. A. C,, 35 cents to the state organization and 15 cents is retained by the local P. A. C. It was reported early last summer that the original P. A. C. goal for Indiana was $100,000. But leaders have said since that it would be impossible to raise this amount. P. 8: G. O. P. County Chairman Henry E. Ostrom announced at the beginning of the fall campaign here that the Republican campaign fund goal in this county was $125,000. Political campaigns, it seems, take a lot of money. = . . s

Communists, who are supporting Roosevelt, do not favor home and marriage . . . For weeks now, G. O. P. gubernatorial candidate Ralph Gates and other party orators have been saying that if Roosevelt is reelected he will appoint Sidney Hillman as secretary of labor. Now comes New Deal Senator Claude Pepper of Florida to tell of “a strongly confirmed report” that if Mr, Dewey is elected he will name John L. Lewis as secretary of labor.
Denies Train Rumor
CAMPAIGN TIME rumor denials: ; Congressman Halleck says there is absolutely no truth to the wide spread rumor that he got off the train on the West coast after Mr. Dewey made his speech criticizing the Smith ConnallyHarness anti-strike bill for which Mr. Halleck voted. Mr. Halleck was not even on the Dewey train, Jess Murden, campaign headquarters manager for Mr. Gates, says that the numerous reports concerning his alleged connections with various materials compahies, etc, “are entirely untrue.” Mr. Murden says he is connected with no company interested in doing business with the state and that he is no longer connected with a railroad.

‘Warren charged that the political careers of both Robert E. Hennegan, chairman of the Democratic national cemmittee, and the Democratic vice presidential nominee, Senator Harry 8. Truman, were “launched in the muddy waters of Pendergast politics” and said he wondered if they would now be willing to be known by “these machine promoters.” The “gargantuan bureaucracy” which is now in control of the nation, Warren said, “must not become £0 entrenched, but also so corrupt that perhaps never again in our life time can young men of the type of Harold Stassen, Ed Thye (present governor of Minnesota) and Tom Dewey successfully aspire to high! political office.”

President Roosevelt and Senator Guy M. Gillette, (D. Ia.)—each of whom once tried to purge the other —today enjoyed mutual good wishes for success in the November elec-] tion. .

When Gillette came up for his first full senate term in the senate in the 1938 election he ranged high on the presidential “purge” list, but he won despite Mr. Roosevelt's opposition. | Gillette declined in 1940, and again in 1944 became imminent, even to be a delegate to his party's national convention which named Mr. Roosevelt for third and fourth terms.
Accepts Nomination
Still opposed to more than two terms in the White House for any man, Gillette finally accepted Iowa's i senatorial nomination this year on the same ticket with Mr. Roosevelt on the plea of Iowa Democrats that otherwise the state was almost certain to fall to the Republicans in the November election.
