PAC Attacks Capehart

The Indiana C. I. O. Political Action Committee today charged Homer E. Capehart, G. O. P. senatorial candidate, with “perversion of historical facts and the grossest sort of political hypocrisy.” The P. A. C's statement said that Mr. Capehart’s principal qualifica-

turned Republican, possessor of a fortune made during Roosevelt's administration and of a remarkable flair for fiction. | “He has rewritten the history of the United States from the Hoover administration to the present, has turned it around and set it on its head. ‘It was not Mr. Hoover,’ says Homer, ‘who was President when our country suffered its worst depression agony; it was Roosevelt's depression.’ “This same Capehart . . . was so hard up in the early thirties that he begged jobs for his relatives, whining that he and all his family had always been good Democrats. Wealthy now, he slanders the President under whose leadership our country reached its greatest prosperity and is victoriously coping with its greatest peril, the aggression of fascism. “Mr. Capehart is a city farmer, 8 juke box manufacturer. With ali} the tremendous problems of victory, | lasting peace and guarantee of jobs for all facing our government, he solemnly stated, ‘as U. 8. senator I promise that one of my first official acts will be to join in a demand for an airing of all the secret operations of the New Deal.’ “The future of the world is at stake and Mr. Capehart looks forward to muck-raking. Mr. Capehart is about as qualified for the United States senate as a brokendown brewery horse,”
