OPPOSITION TO EX GOVERNOR

Coers . Withdraws; Entry Breaks Deadlock Among Democrats.

By ‘ROBERT BLOEM Former Hoosier Governor M. Clifford Townsend today entered the Democratic “race” for U, S. senatorial nomination. “Announcement of his entry literAly mowed down a)l opposition, poth real and projected. By nomfnating time at next Tuesday’s state convention he was expected to be fn the clear for the nod by acclamation. Entry of the 61-year-old party leader into the senatorial picture broke a long deadlock between nearly a dozen party leaders, all of] whom appeared to be reticent about} { taking the plunge. Not one of those frequently men- | tioned as prospective candidates in recent weeks now was expected to risk a vote showdown against Mr. Townsend on the convention floor. The Rev. Morris Coers, local Baptist minister who virtually had car- | ried on his campaign for nomination in a publicity vacuum, withdrew as soon as he learned of the former governor's announcement. Mr. Coers, in pulling out, said: Pledges Full Support “I have heen interested for many | years in tha cause of liberalism. I feel that Mr. Townsend will represent the cause of labor and the common man and therefore gladly withdraw my name as a candidate for senatorial nomination. I pledge Mr. Townsend my full and wholehearted support.”

Only other avowed candidate was |

William Rogers, New Albany poet, who some time ago informed party leaders h& would not buck a strong candidate for the nomination. The Townsend announcement was | made at Democratic state headquarters here by State Chairman! Pleas Greenlee. Mr. Greenlee said the former governor had telephoned his intentions

Supreme court nomination for the Second judicial district. Judge Long's fellow townsmean, Frank N. Richman, is the incumbent judge but was “purged” from the new list of candidates by the Republican state organization at its convention last week. Party strategy on Mr. Townsend's candidacy was expected to be a primary appeal to the farm vote, although he is also a favorite with labor groups. First indication that the labor angle would not be played hard was a remark by a party leader that Mr, Townsend “may be said to be acceptable to labor.” Use ‘of the word “acceptable” was described in labor quarters as a “masterpiece of understatement.” '

The Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce has made a last-minute effort to intervene in behalf of Indianapolis Railways, Inc.'s petition for higher fares, The Times learned today. The Chamber's “unofficial” tervention—made a month after the case was closed—will not, however, alter the commission's decision to deny the hike in fares. The ruling was to have been made public this week. It has been postponed until next week.

Federal Tax Collected on Some Pinballs

By KENNETH HUFFORD EVERAL persons operating pinball machines here were forced to pay a federal slot machine tax of $100 annually after federal agents found the devices were used

for gambling purposes. Police Inspector Donald Tooley, who yesterday was ordered to conduct a checkup of seven Indianapolis establishments listed as having paid the federal slot machine tax, said he was informed federal agents have watched closely for possible gaming use of pinball machines, Ld ¥ ~ VISITING city spots as undercover men, the federal found several pinball operators “paying off” .on the machines, the police official was told. Inspector Tooley yesterday sent squads scurrying to all parts of the city to search the seven places listed in The Times as having filed slot machine taxes at the federal building, Meanwhile, Sheriff Albert Magenheimer’'s vice squad headed by Investigator Virgil Quinn, assisted by Deputy Sheriffs Everett Maxwell {and Henry Hazelwood, were visiting other county establishments in a search for. slot machines. . » n » A HURRIED sortie last night, which took in a number of suspected taverns, poolrooms and night

‘a quarter would be disastrous. The railways company petition declares that an emergency exists for a 2-cent increase in token fares. A long series of public hearings on the petition was completed a month ago. Briefs had been filed by both the company and the two principal intervenors, the city and the OPA. The commission was ready to announce its decision when the Chamber made its move. Following the visit of Mr. Book | and Mr. Bradley to the governor's office, the firm of George S. Olive & Co., accountants, entered the picture to interpret some of the railways’ financial statements to the commission—although the commission maintains its own accounting staff, “In te Help Out” Joseph Baerncopf, one of the | Olive senior partners, explained | that as a member of the Chamber's * board of directors and as a chamber | {past president, Mr. Olive himself had decided to intervene as “amicus curiam.” “Mr. Olive and I were in there to {help out on a situation that looks {to become serious,” he said. “Mr. |Ottve has always been keenly interin the development of Indianse and wants to do his bit.” What figures the Olive Co. would | interpret for the commission were not disclosed. According to Mr. Baerncopf, the May financial state- | ment of the company isnot yet prepared. Evidence presented in the hearings had dealt only with the first quarter's earnings of the company. The chamber’s move was made in the face of the specific plea of the railways. attorneys, Gilliom, Armstrong & Gilliom, several weeks | ago that the commission rule on the petition on the basis of facts {brought out in public hearing.
