M'NUTT DENIES
He ASPIRES TO
SEAT IN SENATE
Tells Ft. Wayne Audience
Whispering Campaign
Has No Basis.
BY DANIEL NJ. KIDNEY,
Times STAFF Writer

Claiming that there is "whis-
pering campaign" going on to the
effect that he will back a candidate
for the United States senate who, if
elected, will resign in two years and
give him the post, Governor Paul
V. McNutt went to Fl. Wayne last
night to stop it,
Fl. Wayne was chosen for his
declaration of policy, including the
hands off, plan of primary cam
paign, because it is the home town
Of r. Earl Peters, former Democratic
state chairman and leading sena-
torial candidate at the present time.
These reports of the McNutt plan
for taking the senatorShip are said
to have originated in the Peters
group, if not from the candidate
himself.
He Announces Stand
So at the fourth district rally last
night, the Governor announced the
following stand for the senate race:
Several days ago, in a political
speech at Batesville, I stated I
am not now, have not been, and
shall not be a candidate for the
Democratic nomination of United
States senator from Indiana. l
trust that statement is cleaI-that
there will be no further wh.Sperings
among certain groups that I will be
a candidate.
Tonight I desire to clarity fur
ther my position in regard to this
nomination. Some o. those now in
the race are my close personal and
political friends. Other good friends
are expected to enter the race be-
fore the convention gathers.
These men, each of them, under
stand clearly that I am not COM
nitted to the candidacy of any one
Of them. That policy of keeping
hands off, I shall continue. I have
firm faith in the ability of the duly
elected delegates to select a candi-
date who can win next November.
He Gives His Word
81 give you my word now that I
shall campaign as vigorously in 1884
for the success of the candidates
named by the convention as I did
in 1882 for the candidates named
then. AS loyal Democrat I could
do no less.
Efforts to make it appear that
this or that candidate will be the
candidate of the state adminiStra-
ton are without foundation. They
are the product of the Imagination
of those who might hope to gain
support from the large group of
loyal Democrats who would right
fully oppose the handpicking of a
nominee by any one within the
party. Such tactics can not be sue
cessful."
Mr.. Peters was on hand and was
roundly applauded by the crowd.
Peters Man Ousted
Peters and anti-Peters, McNutt
and anti-McNutt, feeling was run
ming high due to the ousting by the
state administration of G. j. Ster-
ling from the automobile license
distribution post at Ft. Wayne.
He was a Peters man.
Pleas Greenlee, McNutt patronage
secretary, attended the Fourth dis
trict organization meeting during
the afternoon and pleaded for a
loyal and militant" machine.
Virgil M. Simmons, Fourth dis
trict chairman and state conserva-
ton commissioner, presided.
Last Of the district meetings, at
tended by the state chairman and
secretary and after which the Gov
ernor speaks, will be held at La Porte

fore Secretary Wallace. If the gov
eminent intervenes here, the entire
industry Will be placed under the

dent of the Indianapolis Dairy Pro-
ducerS' council.

OLDEST FLIER'S
CAREER MAY Be
ENDED BY ARMY
inventor of Blind Flying
Instruments Faces
Court Martial.

BIZ United Press
FORT SAM HOUSTON, Tex,
Mar. IA court martial jury of
nine officers today listened to testi-
mony which may end the army ca
reer of Major William c. Ocker, So
year-old air corps inventive genius.
The prosecution moved swiftly
down its list of forty witnesses called

struments which made blind flying

flight surgeon, who ordered Major
Ocker grounded after finding the
pilots eyesight defective, was the
first witness He told the court of
Major Ocker's alleged remarks.
According to the army surgeon,
Major Ocker said
If other pilots on this field, name
/ ly such as Colonel Clagett, we're
given more than a cursory eXamina-
ton they, too, would be off uying
status. There was collision be-
tween the commanding officer and
you major JohnSOn) relative to

an unprintable epithet to his su-
perior, prefXed by the adjective

Life of Our Lord Shows
Dickens POwer-Erskine
Famous Author Declares Work Reveals Greatest
Literary Genius Ever Shown.

that though the Gospel story is
here made, as he intended, easier
for children, the values Of the
original text have not been dis
turbed. The tone is the same, the
doctrine is impaired with practi-
cally the original emphasis, the
incidents are kept faithfully in
the relative proportions of the
original text. I know no more re-
markable instance Of rewriting to
scale.
THE difficulty Of the feat will
= be clear if you try it yourself,
or if you listen to any sincere
Sunday school teacher attempt
ing to convey a section Of the
Bible story in her own words.
The success Of the feat can easily
be tested by referring to the
Gospels after you have read
Dickens account. I think you
will agree with me that at no
point will you have to revise an
impression, or readjuSt mood.
The fidelity to the original mas
terpiece is astounding. Here are
literary genius and intellectual
integrity
In this manuscript I find
good deal Of Dickens the actor,
and of Dickens the dramatist. If
you compare the Gospel original
with the version for the chill
dren, you will notice that Dickens
has adopted certain mannerisms
of the biblical style-the use, for
example, of connectiveS between
sentences. He suggests to the ear
some of that extraordinary word
music with which the English
Bible casts a spell.
Of course, he himself had a
quite different style, but true
dramatist, an imaginative actor,
can put on manners not his own.
It is Illuminating to compare the
fragments of dialogue which he
seems to quote. Often the quota
tons are much simplified, or even
entirely recast, yet they sound
like the original and to all in
tents and purposes they are the
original.
If we look for it, we can find
here Dickens passion for social
justice and his brooding over the
inequalities of life. Though not
at first apparent, his humanita-
rianism is tucked away in pass
ing comments and explanations.
To this extent, at least, he APP
proves of the interpretations of
men. Speaking of one Of the
Parallels, for example, he offers
a merciful excuse for human err
ror.
Our Savior meant to teach by
this that people who have done
good all their lives long will go
to heaven after they are dead.
But that people who have been
wicked, and who are truly sorry for
it however late in their lives, and
pray God to forgive them, will be
forgiven and go to heaven, too"
At the end of the manuscript
there is a brief summary of the
Acts of the Apostles, and a charm
ing little sermon on the spirit of
Christianity. That paragraph, and
the prayers for his childrens use
which conclude the manuscript, are
precious, tender things which do
honor to the noble man who wrote
them.

The employers, on the other hand, are not quite
ready to accept the A. F. of L. leaders in the basic
industry, in STEEL for example. They are fearful
that these leaders are longer capable of holding
back the workers from struggle. That is why
the employers are willing to accept Roosevets
truce" plan only the basis Of the status quo
that is, the basis of present conditions for the
workers, and an avoidance of outright recognition
of the A. F. of L. bureaucracy in the basic indus
try They prefer yet to work through company
unions.
These are the maneuvers going on around the
Roosevelt truce" plan. In reality, of course, all
three, Roosevelt, the employers and the A. F. OF
L. officials admit and agree on the main purpose
Of the plan-to stop the rising strike wave. 1t is
only on the precise method of doing it that they
disagree. Their disagreements are only on how to
break the resistance of the workers.
1T is clear what this plan means to the workers
The employers have already demonstrated what
they mean by the status quo" status quo which
has been, under the last 18 months of the N.R.A4
a continuous and ruthless drive against the wage
levels of the workers and their conditions of work
Roosevelt has demonstrated what he means by
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1934-10-03

DOOSEVELTS proposal for an industrial truce"
~ has been hailed by capital and labor" in the
form of enthusiastic statements by William Green,
CT the American Federation of Labor, and the gen.
lemen of the National Association of Manufac-
turers.
They both see in this proposal the opportunity
to achieve their purposes.
William Green, speaking in the of the
A. F. of L. bureaucracy, pledges that he will at
tempt to bind the A. F. of L. unions to the Roose-
welt system of arbitration of labor disputes" if
the employers will pledge to do the same"
And the Manufacturers Association representing
big industrial capital welcomes the Roosevelt pro-
posa if labor" will agree to maintain the status
quo
What is the situation here? Why does Roose-
welt act now for truce" and why do the A. F. of
L. bureaucrats and the Manufacturers Association
respond to this proposal as they do?
The answer is this. Roosevelt and the employ
erS realize that they face the biggest strikes in
the country's history, particularly in basic indus
try in marine, steel, auto rubber They are aware
that the conditions of the workers in these in
duseTies, c'a.y where the N.R.A. labor boards
succeeded in breaking strikes earlier in the year,

becoming altogether intolerable. They know
that the MIRA. has brought the workers to po-
sition where they ready to strike against the
intensifyng misery which the N r. A.-Roosevelt
program has brought them.
Therefore, Roosevelt steps in to ward off
these strike movements by means Of his truce,
attempting to play the part of a neutral force in
the struggle between capital and labor urging both
sides to mediate their disputes before resorting to
the "older weapons of industrial dispute"
Actually of course, this truce is of the great
est advantage to the employers, who thus get the
government protection against the resistance of the
workers
WHAT does William Green mean by his proposal
to pledge acceptance if the employers promise
to obey the law" that is the rulings of the Roose
welt Labor Board? He means that the bureaucracy
of the A. F. of L. is willing to pledge their unions
to no-strike agreement if the employers will
recognize them the union representatives CT the
workers in the basic industry The A. F. of L. lead
ership is thus bargaining with the employers, offer
ing no-strike agreement in return for the emoiu-
nents and dues that VIII with the recognition
of the bureaucracy in the basic industries

arbitration" in the strikebreaking in the STEEL
auto and textile industries. sending the workers
back every time without the slightest material con-
cession in wages or conditions.
And the A. F. of L. leadership is only seeking
face-savng device whereby it can restrain the
workers from fighting for their welfare.
Roosevelt's "truce" can only mean the binding
of the workers, while the employers continue to
lower wages and intensity speed-up.
For the American working class to accept this
truce" is to accept slashes in real wages, as
Rocsevelts initiation sends the cost Of living up
ward 1t is to accept more degradation in condi-
tons of work. 1t is to encourage the employers to
proceed with their offensive.
The weapon of the strike cannot be handed over
trustingly to the class enemy. On the contrary,
now is just the time when the strike weapon be-
comes the sole bulwark between the workers and
new misery.
The Communist Party calls upon the workers In
the trade unions, in the American Federation OF
Labor to reject this treacherous Roosevelt truce,
and to organize themselves with greater determna-
ton than ever before in new mass struggles for
bread for decent conditions of work, for unenploy-
ment insurance, and for end to the yoke Of
capitalist wage slavery
