FOR WERNEKE
IRKS VANNUYS
Senior Senator Reported to
Be Offended by Visit
of Chairman.

By Times Special
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-The
visit here of Omer S. Jackson, Demo-
cratic state chairman, and Keith
Johns, state Democratic secretary,
left the Hoosier Senators at logger
heads today.
For Mr.. Jackson went with Sgla-

ter General James A. Farley and
Louis Howe, White House secretary,
regarding the nomination of Rich
ard Werneke. Terre Haute, for the
United States MarShals post at In
dianapOliS.
Mr.. Werneke was nominated for
the post by Senator Minton and the
Democratic organization, but the
senior Senator, Frederick VanNuyS,
has nominated the anti-McNWtt
Fred Bays, Sullivan.
MIR. Jackson and Mr.. Johns left
last night.
But, because of their activity in
the matter, Senator VanNuys was
reported offended and more deter
mined than ever to oppose the Wer-
neke appointment. He is support
ed in his stand by Rep. Virginia
Jenckes, who is a neighbor of Mr..
Werneke in Terre Haute.
Following the precedent set by
Senator Minton, It is now Senator
VanNuys' turn to hold monthly
dinner for the Indiana congressional
delegation. The dinner will be at
the VanNuys penthouse apartment
tomorrow night.
But, to make sure that no poll
tics will be discussed, Senator VAN

operators Of amusement tables, lner-

instruments, scales and similar
machines" that we have already
incurred some heavy obligations in
your interests" held meeting
Monday in the Crystal Room, Hotel

Indiana operators were told in a
letter that they must attend" the

According to the printed letter
head of the association, F. j.
Horuff, New Augusta. is acting
chairman of the association.
According to Al G. Feeney, state
safety director. Mr.. Horuff is inter-
ested in the distribution of marble
machines and had stated to him his
opposition to the Jordan anti-slot
machine bill, now pending before
Judiciary B committee Of the Indi-
ana Senate.
Extremely Good News

today to reach Mr.. Horuff and W..
E. Slingerland, acting secretary

explanation of a paragraph in the
letter to operators were futile.
At their homes, it was said both
men are in Chicago.
The paragraph regarding which
The Times sought explanation
read:

been in connection with legislative
matters. Today we have some ex-
tremely good news for you. We are

sent to the Senate, where it was
referred to Judiciary B committee
of which Senator Frederick F..
Eichorn 3D., Cary is chairman.
Several attempts to hold a COM
mittee meeting for discussion of the

failed because no quorum of the
membership attended.

selected "as we will not be permitted

Miller refused to elaborate

question whether the 35-cent rate
is too high or too low, retorted: Il
wouldn't care to say"
The natural gas probers were I'M
able to obtain from Mr.. Miller any
estimate of the price at which
Columbia Gas and Electric expects
to furnish Indianapolis with nat
ural gas, although he declared
emphatically that Columbia is IN
the market for Indianapolis and
that it's bid, when and if offered,
will be "in line" with what the
public should expect.
Refuses to Make Estimate
They did obtain from him, how
ever, a detailed and technical ex-
PLANTATION of why such an estimate,
even an approximate one, could not
be made until "all the conditions
were known. -
There are some manufacturers IN
Indianapolis who would not take a
35-cent gas" Mr.. Miller declared.
Atty. Gen. Philip Lutz Jr. inter-
jected that such a condition should
have no effect on an estimate of the
gas price at the city gates and only
would enter into the eventual dis
tribution cost. Other committee
members also insisted on an esti-
mate at the city gates.
When Mr.. Miller said he could not
give such an estimate, it was Sug-
gested he was being evasive because
of unwillingnesS to jeopardize any
future contract which might be
entered into between Columbia and
the city.
Negotiating With Many Cities
1t was pointed out to him that
Kansas City, for instance, has 40
cent rate at the city gates and
manages to retail the gas at so
cents. Even with such a somewhat
comparable situation as an example,
Mr.. Miller said he could not esti-
mate the probable gate rate for In
dianapolis.
In citing the necessity for know
ing all of the conditions here such
as the variant in the load, Mr.. Mil
Ter pointed out that indianapolis IS
only one of a score Of Indiana cities
with which Columbia is negotiating.
lone factory IN Kokomo could
use as much gas as all of Indianap-
oils could, based on present con-
SUMPTION" he declared.
He testified that the Indiana Gas
Transmission Corp, which crosses
Marion County and which is a
wholly-owned Columbia subsidiary,
buys gas at the Indiana-IllinoiS
line at 18 cents a thousand cubic
feet.
Parish Denies Statements
In rebuttal, Frank Parish, former
head of the Missouri-Kansas Pipe
line Co., which Columbia is alleged
to have broken in order to maintain
natural gas monopoly, declared it
would be a perfectly simple process
to determine the probable Indian
apolis rate.
This price, however, is only tenn
porary, he testified, so no estimate
could be reached unless firm con-
tract were effected with the Pan
handle Eastern co.

each week, only to be run up at
the close. Leadership is switched
from one group to another in the
old way.
Evidently traders are finding a
way, and stock exchange seats
have risen in value.
1 note, too, some faces in the
board rooms which usually APP,

made most of their progress.
Last week, among the most &C.
tive stocks the largest gains were
made by Chrysler and Westines
house Elec tric-24 and 339

note, however, that few Of the
stocks which led in activity wer&
outstanding on Saturday, either IA
volume or in movement. This SUD
gestS that good deal of profiA
taking went on. under the coved
of strength in American Can, Dup
pont, and the utilities. While this
market was we'll sustained at the
close, it acted a bit tired. 1t seems
as if at least a period of greater
irregularity lies ahead, and the
possibility of a little corrective re.
action today or tomorrow is ap.
parent.
1 can see no indications of
any great reaction, however,
nor any reason for disturbing
lOng-pull positions. 1 would
merely not reach for stocks
here.
On the bull side, I note that
last week the composite averages
rose above the preceding resist
ance level. The majority Of
stocks rose, and the most active
stocks were those which moved
up. Increasing public participa-
ton is apparent. Initiation pros.
poets continue, and large Gov,
eminent spending lies ahead as a
stimulant.
The market does not "act" as
if it were through. 1t may have
entered the stage of increasing
distribution" and may not go
ahead much pending new stimu-
lantS, but such StimulantS may be
administered.
On the bear side, we find rail
way stocks continuing to lag. 1t
is notable that the rise has
off a little and that the
hourly volume of trading declined
on Friday and Saturday. Per-
haps the most disturbing symp-
tom is the fact that while the
active stocks have continued to
rise, the volume of trading in
these stocks has fallen to very
low percentage of the total
volume.
OF course, the growing dullnesS
of business activity is not stimu-
lating to the stock market. Par
ticularly the condition Of the
automobile industry makes that
important spot vulnerable one.
But the chief factors in the
market are "eaSy money" and
Initiation, and these work to-
gether. The growing difficulty
of getting any considerable in
tereSt on deposits or high grade
investments, is driving many to
buy preferNad stocks and "blue
chip industrial common stocks.
The anticipation of growing de-
probation in the purchasing
power of money is driving many
others to put money into oils.
metals, and other lOw.priced in
duStriaIS which present Specula-
tive opportunities. Meanwhile
bonds lag.
The silver policy and the bonus

Of the move since March.
But strangely enough, these
have been supplemented by grow

will be checked by the Supreme
Court, and that the public is
