rm Election Is The Forecast
INDICATIONS \RK THAT CAMPAIGN IN INDIANA MILL JIB HOTTKST IN MANY YEARS
' Indications that tlie fall election campaiRii will 1>p one of the bitterest in Indiana* annals was furnished by developments of the political front over the weekeivl. Foremost was the summer outing of the Indiana Democratic Editorial AssociaMon at French Lick, where the party's big-gest oratorical guns were unlimbered Saturday night in a slashing attack on the Republicans and a vigorous defense of President Roosevelt and the new dell. Governor McNutt, n* the same time, took occasion to defend his administration against charges of the Republican state comrr.i tee that is is exceeding all existing lerords for state government expenditures. He cited figures to refute the charges. Republicans, on the other hand, were massing their forces for a big rally next Wedne day at Middlebury. in Elkhart county. This meeting will be the opening broadside in the O. O. P. campaign in the heavily populated northern tier of counties. Both parties, probably better organized than at any time in years, arc getting off to an unusually early start, with the race for United States senator between Arthur R. Robinson, the incumbent, and Sherman Minton, choice of the Democrats, holding the spotlight. Don Irwin, Republican state chairman, has been holding conferences for weeks with party leaders and nominees. As a result elaborate campaign plans have been worked out, with certain duties alloted to each nominee. The Democratic organization is depending to a large extent on aid from 'Washington in the campaign. Senator Robinson ha- been one of the outspoken opponents of the new deal and speakers high in the ranks of the party as well as financial assistance is anticipated from the capital. Senator Robinson will be the principal speaker at the Middlebury rally. He will he preceded on the platform by Andrew J. Hickey of La Porte, who is seeking to regain the seat he formerly held in congress, and Raymond S. Springer, gubernatorial candidate in 1932. More than 1,000 Republicans, in- < luding county and district leaders, : re expected to be in Middlebury far t ie meeting. On the same day, women Democratic lenders of the Calumet will j at her in Gary to honor Mrs. Emery .'•choll of Connersville, Democratic .■ la'e vice chairman. Plans for Mrs. Scholl’s visit are taking on unlooked for proportions ar | the day promises to be one of the biggest pre-election gatherings for women in northern Indiana.
«>l 1) LETTERS FOUND
AUSTIN, Tex., (UP)—Six letters, written more than UK) years ago to men at the battlefront of the Texas revolution, were discovered recently in the Bexar Archives at the Univer*ity of Texas. g The messages never had been de>ffveiod. A messenger enroute to the battlefront either was killed or other wise prevented from fulfilling his mission. The letters provided a cross-section of home life near Houston long ago, One letter began: “Dear Somerville; Some damned rascal has stolen my horse.” The writer, Put C. Jack, begged Somerville to catch the thief.
TO REVISE CROP CONTROL WASHINGTON, Aug. 13—Planning war ime vigilance over the nation’s food an 1-feed supplies next fall and winter, the farm administration also is preparing drastic revisions of its 1935 crop control program. Official government estimates are for !he lowest crop production in more than 30 years because of continued drought. Therefore, the AAA has un lertaki n a day to day watch ,ver conditions, and is starting an inventory of the food and feed supply which will form the basis for guiding its work during the coming year. Next yeai’s wheat plan is likely to call for the same acreage planted during the years 1927-32, rather than •i 15 per cent reduction from that figure. Necessity for this move grew rom the prospective cut in the carry-r.-er fi jm this year’s excessive figure ,,f 270,000,000 bushels to about the normal of 125,000,000 bushels. Cotton production acres under the voluntary control plan and to 10,100,251 hales under the Bandhead act, probably will be extended in 1935 to Glow production of 32,000,000 to 36,>00,000 acres. This year’s largo carry .,ver of 13,000,000 hales is r/pected to he cut to about the normal level of 5,000,000 next year as a result of the prospective short 1934 crop of 9,195,000. ’The program for com and hogs is still to he considered. Pinal decision w ill hinge largely on the report of the feed and forage situation showing supplies available in comparison with the live stock population it must support. Over a period of years, according to Secretary Wallace, the number of hogs tends to balance with the supply of com. The administration will seek to maintain this ratio. The 1935 tobacco program awaits drafting after 1934 sales, which will show how far the former excessive surplus has been reduced. Indicated production this year is 1,043,000,000 pounds, about 200,000,000 pounds less than normal consumption requirements. The administration is still hopeful of drafting a single contract which will bring the major crops and some feed and forage crops together- Coupled with these plans may also he a ciop lending program.

JOE PALMER, TEXAS KILLER, CAPTURED IN KENTUCKY PADUCAH, Ky., Aug. 13, (UP)— A telephone call from a detective story fan led to identification of Joe Palmer, who e caped from the death eell of the Huntsville, Texas, prison. Palmer was seized by Chief of Police Bryant’s detectives. The chief was told to look on a certain page of a detective story magazine. There was a likeness of Palmer, giving his history. Palmer was found asleep under a tieo by detectives. He had 20 cents in his pockets. At first he. was believed to be Alvin Karpis, who is wanted in Minnesota on kidnaping
charges.
Palmer’s fingerprints hail been bruised by rubbing on concrete and identification was difficult. Finger prints were sent here from the Kentucky state penitentiary at Eddyville. Positive identification followed. Palmer later boasted that “I’ve killed six men and been sentenced to burn. That’s why I’m so hot, hut you’ll never find out wdio I am.” Confronted with his identity. Palmer snorted “Why should I tell you who I am, maybe Pm Palmer and
maybe I’m not.”
Palmer was arrested near a railroad track in the southern part of the city. Detectives Daily and Sheehan grabbed a 45-calber automatic pistol that was in easy roach of the sleep-
er’s left hand.
“The I/)rd had his arm around those two cops,’’ Palmer muttered. “If I hadn’t been dead tired for sleep
you’I have to bury them.”
He said to Chief of Detectives
against you, cop, hut I'm going to kill you if I get a chance—and if you
don’t kill me first.”
