INDIANA'S PI BI.IC DEBT It may not mean much to the average taxpayer to know that the public debt in Indiana is only one per cent of the total indebtedness in all of the forty-eight states, or that only three other states have a lower per capita debt than Indiana. The gross indebtedness of all of the 48 states including all municipalities was $19,576,412,000 in 1932, the latest available figures show, so that it can be seen that the indebtedness in Indiana was less than one per cent of the total indebtedness in all of the 48 states. Far away fields often look greener, but this is not the case with Indiana and the public debt.

I KBAN STOVER APPOINTED

Two Withdraw; Byrns Gains In Speaker’s Race

CONGRESSMAN FROM SOI TH LIKELY SUCCESSOR TO LATE HENRY T. RAINEY

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13, HIP)— Withdrawal of two of his chief competitors today virtually assured Rep. Joseph W. Byrns, D., Tenn., the speakership of the 74th congress. The lanky Tennesseean’s candidacy gained momentum as additional state groups divided their support. West Virginia's six Democratic representatives joined Pennsylvania’s 23 in announcing for Byrns. Rep. Sam Rayburn, D., Tex., considered Byran’s principal rival for the office made vacant by the dentil of Rep. Henry T. Rainey, D., 111., withdrew a few minutes after the West Virginia vote was announced. Rayburn’s decision was announced in a terse three-sentence statement: •‘1 am no longer a candidate for speaker. There are no alibis. Under the circumstances I cannot he elect-

ed.”

Rayburn’s withdrawal was preceded by that of Rep. John E. Rankin, D., Miss., who announced he would seek the post of floor leader instead. Rep. William Bankhead, D., Ala., probably the mst prominent candidate opposing Byrns, was exported to withdraw. The bandwagon movement behind Byrns reached such proportions that interest switched to selection of a house leader to succeed Byrns, in the event he is elected speaker. Selection of a northern or eastern man appeared probable. The newest candidate for the leadership was Rep. John McCormick, D., Mass., chairman of the Nazi investigating committee and member of the house ways and means committee. He has Tieen in congress seven years. Others seeking the floor leadership include Rep. James M. Mead and Rep. John J. O'Connor, New York Democrats who are angling for support of the Tammany delegation. Two Illinois Democrats. Rep. William Arnold and Rep. Adolph Sabath, sought supprt of their state delegation today before deciding whether or not they will announce for the leadership. Rayburn gave no indication of whom ho would support for the speakership but it was believed most of those pledged to him would climb aboard the Byrns bandwagon.

POLICE HUNT COMPANION OF SUSPECT IN YOUNG MAN’S HI KHKIC TULSA, Okla., Dee. 13, <UP* - Authorities today sought an alleged accomplice of Philip Kennamer in the slaying of John Gorroll, 21. This accomplice, it was said, may have killed Sidney Born, 19. Kennamer, son of a federal district judge, who has admitted killing Gorrell but contends he acted in self defense, provided authorities with the names of three youths whom he suspected of having killed Born, His story was discounted and no action was taken. The investigation of a gang of wealthy youths seeking excitement in crime, proceeded with utmost secrecy. Kennamer, accused by authorities of being the leader, gave an interview in his jail cell last night asserting that Gorrell was the leader and his own part had been not alone innocent but chivalrous. Gorrell, he said, had been planning to kidnap Miss Virginia Wilcox, daughter of H. F Wilcox, oil millionaire. Because he was "deeply in love” with Miss Wilcox, he sought to prevent the abduction, he said. Sheriff Charles Price made it clear that he gave no credence to Kennamer's story. Bom drove Kennamer, and Price believes, a second man to ’his meeting with Gorrell that ended in Gorrell’s death This second youth. Price said, may have feared Born would reveal his identity and killed him to insure silence. Kennamer said Bom was his best friend and would have been an important witness in his defense He named three youths as friends of Gorrell whom he said he suspected of killing Born because they feared he would expose their membership in Gorrell’s gang. Many scions of prominent families remained in hiding, and Tulsa and Oklahoma generally followed every detail of the sensational scandal involving families known throughout the Southwest. Bom was the son of a professor of Tulsa university. Gorrell was the son of a prominent local physician.
