UPTON CLOSE PRUDS | NBC ON HIS OUSTER

EVANSVILLE, Ind. Nov. 21 (U. P).— Radio Commentator Upton Close charged that Niles Trammell, president of the National Broadcasting Co. - used “nice cover-up words” in explaining why Close was removed from the network. Close, in a reply to a statement by Trammell referred to “network operations,” which the NBC president sajd were solely responsible for removal of Close as commenator under the sponsorship of the W. A. Shaeffer Pen Co, ’ Still unanswered, Close said, are the “only questions that interest the public about me.” “Those questions,” he said, “are just who is putting me off NBC's| air and why? Mr. Trammell re-| plies ‘network operations’ alone put | me off. Those are nice cover-up | words. The questions remain: Who! and why?”

EFFUSIVE DEMOCRATIC Sta the results of the recent Indiana

signs of a “great” Democratic victory in 1946.

“Our ability to carry about all

proof that the laboring people are’ Democratic,” he said today in his first official statement since the recent disastrous election. “We can

and shall. regain the rural vote.”

He listed eight cities which elected Republicag mayors in 1942 and “which camé back to the

Democratic fold this time as indicative of things to come, The cities are Indianapolis (the city proper), Muncie, Anderson, Terre Haue, Evansville, Connersville, New Albany and Jeffersonville, Mr. Bays said he believed that the newly elected Republican state officials have made promises they cannot or will not keep “and that two years of Republican state rule will be sufficient to convince the rural vote (where the G. O. P, victory was obtained) that the Democratic party is the only guarantee of good government.” Mr. Bays also pointed ta the

Goudy Cites Complaints

THE STATE chairman’s statement was contained in a Demo-~ cratic news letter to party papers. The letter, written by Newton M. Goudy, editor of the Hoosier Sentinel, party organ, said complaints were coming in now from all over Indiana concerning disfranchisement of Democratic and independent voters. “A complete probe of what Democratic party officials believe was a well-laid and widespread conspiracy on the part of certain G. O. P. machine politicians to prevent Democrats and independent voters from voting . appears to be assured as preliminary investigations are extended and more and more reports of -alleged irregularities come in by mail, by phone and in persohal reports,” the letter said. n ” »

Bays Is Target °

ALL IS NOT peace and harmony by any means within the Democratic ranks, even though there have been no “it was your fault” blasts. Most of the rancor that goes with defeat is directed at Mr, Bays who has served as state chairman during the past three elections which saw the Democratic ticket go down to defeat here. But some of it Is directed at Governor Schricker who is criticized for not devoting more time to building and strengthening the party organization during his tenure as governor, ” » .

ADMITS. KILLING 63 ‘PRO-NAZIS

Paris ‘Bluebeard’ Faces Sanity Test in Mass

Murder Case.

PARIS, Nov. 21 (U, P), — The fantastic Dr. Marcel Petiot, the Parisian “bluebeard” charged with mass. murder on a scale unequalled in French criminal history, awaited a test of his sanity today, He atmitted at a preliminary court hearing that he had killed at least 63 persons, some with a “secret weapon” of his own invention, Petiot, who is accused of murdering and dismembering scores of men and women in an abandoned house at 21 Rue Lesueur during the German occupation of Paris last summer, appeared before an examining magistrate yesterday for the first time since his arrest several weeks ago. The -heavily-bearded doctor assured the magistrate solemnly that all of his 63 admitted victims were

collaborators, Thirty of them, he said, were Germans. Petiot was visibly nervous

throughout the: hearing, and his rambling account of- his “patriotic activities” frequently forced the magistrate to smile broadly.

Made Offer to U. 8S.

The doctor said he had been a member of the French resistance movement since the German occupation in 1940, and had fought with the Spanish maquis against the Franco government. When it appeared that the United States was about to become involved in war with Germany, he said, he went to the American consulate in

“secret weapon’ which could instantly destroy all the occupants of |a single building. The offer apparently was declined. “I founded a group to get rid of collaborators,” Petiot testified. “I killed 63 collaborators, including 30 Germans, some of them with my secret weapon.” ’

ONE DEAD, TWO HURT IN TRAFFIC CRASHES

One pedestrian is dead and two other traffic casualties are in City hospital from injuries received yesterday. James W. Ogborn, 60, of Bridgeport, who was injured yesterday in an accident there, died last night at City hospital. Police said he was struck by an automobile driven by William H. Davis, R. R. 1, Clayton, as the pedestrian ran across Road 40 to catch a bus. A motorcyclist, Lois Johnson, 24, of Terre Haute, was brought to City hospital last night with a broken shoulder received in an accident. Her condition was described as not serious. Orville McLerren, 46, of 1421 Carrollton ave. received head injuries and was taken to City hospital. Police said he was struck early last night by an automobile driven by Betty L. Bodenhauser, 25, of 2240 N. Dearborn st. at Massachusetts ave, and 10th st. They were told Mr. McLerren was hit when he attempted to run across the street.

Douglas MacArthur's liberation of the Philippines through dwindling enemy air and naval power are growing progressively weaker, Vice Adm. John S. McCain, who succeeded Vice Adm. Marc “A. Mitscher as commander of the world’s most powerful carrier force, told a press conference the U. 8. garrier fleet is now so strong “we can go anywhere on earth as long as there is water to float us and wind to launch our planes.” Earlier Adm.
