Mugs. The VanNuys bloc in
the State Senate is claimed to
be Is strong. 1t would have
to muster only half of the
minority and swing over a few
"on-the-fence" Senators to
pass the primary bill.
This test may come Monday.
Pressure is being exerted both
ways. The VanNuys adherents are
trying asSiduouSly to line up enough
pledges to pass the bill and the
McNutt administration leaders are
trying to defeat it.
Test of Strength Awaited
The bill was reported the subject
of special attention by the So-called
personal comm itee" of six Senators
to whom Pleas Greenlee, the adj
ministrations political field mar
shall, has intrusted the task of de-
feating it.
Originally, the bill called for plac-
ing back in the primary all state
officials including the Supreme and
Appellate Court judges. Languish-
ing in the Elections Committee, the
bill is reported now, after amend
ment in committee, to provide only
fof the primary selection of the
Governor and United States Sem
ator.
1t is scheduled to come to the
Senate floor with a majority report
for passage and a minority report
for indefinite postponement. The
action on the committee report is
expected to be the first test of
strength between the administration
leaders and the Van Mugs faction.
Committee Sessions Avoided
The Elections Committee meetings
have been regarded so strongly as
heat sessions" that several MEM
bers looked upon as strong admin
istration men have "ducked" them.
This obvious effort to have as lit
tie as possible connection with the
bill once provoked Senator Swihart,
the committee chairman, to demand
that Senate President M. Clifford
Townsend enforce attendance at the
committee hearings.
If the McNutt-V anNuyS embro-
Clio comes to a test on the primary
bill as scheduled, the fight will be
the climax of political variance
that has been brewing for months.
The administration advisers and
the VanNuys faction come to an
open rupture in the Democratic
state convention which nominated
United States Senator Sherman
Minton, the Administration choice.
Then came t. Washington bat
tie over the ~ stion of Federal
patronage in which the Senator
VanNuys won technical victory.
Pending is the question of which
Senator is going to name the United
States marshal here. The position
will be vacated this month by ALI
Meloy, Republican. Senator Van
Mugs has named Lee Bays, former
OIul4NcAA AOUllCy Clldll lIIdH dIlQ
anti-McNutt Democrat. Senator
Minton has named Richard Little
Dick Werneke, Terre Haute poll
teal boss.
VanNuys Bolts Roosevelt
Added to this Indiana picture Is
the fact that Senator VanNuys yes
terday went against the Roosevelt
program by voting for the prevail
ing wage scales for relief work. Sen
ator Minton went along with the
national Administration.
The underlying Importance of the
primary bill in Indiana is obvious.
according to political observers. At
stake primarily is the next guberna-
torial nomination. OF course Gov.
McNutt can not succeed himself be-
cause of constitutional bars, but the
McNutt machine wants to maintain
control.
The VanNuys faction wants to get
control

No reputable manufacturer ever be-
grudged the ability of his competition to
find better methods of production to
reduce costs. Usually these So called
"bargains" were at the expense of quality,
workmanship and labor. As result, the
buyer got no more than he paid for
often less-and the whole nation paid the
penalty in reduced incomes.

of State experts near the end of the
jury box.
The kidnap ladder and the attic
board were propped up against the
charts. Nearby was the Hauptmann
closet panel bearing the address and
phone number of DR.. John F. Condor.
In front of the jury rail was the round
table Reilly used In his address.
Hauptmann and the jury arrived in
court at the same time. The defend
ant inspected the buzzing crowd of
spectators interestedly and then gazed
long and thoughtfully at his jurors
Later Associate Defense Counsel c.
Lloyd Fisher spoke encouragingly to
him.
Pausing on his way back to his cell
yesterday after Reilly had charged
that a gang kidnapped and killed the
baby, Hauptmann whispered to the
attorney, Thank you" and Reilly's
associates praised his address with ex-
sension in the defense ranks.
Considering the time spent on the
summation, he did remarkable job"
said Fisher, generally regarded as
Hauptmann's favorite on his legal
staff.
Even before the case went to the
jury, defense attorneys began making
plans for possible appeal in the
event of conviction. They stressed
that lack of funds would hamper them
in carrying the case to a higher court.
Conviction would bring Haupt-
mann's removal to the State prison
at Trenton within 10 days for either
life imprisonment or electrocution.
Unless an appeal were taken. JUS
tice Trenchard would fix the date for
death sentence about a month
hence.

RA|NEY PORTRAIT
CONFUSION GROWS
Sixth Artist Slated to Sub.
nit Painting, CompIicat-
ing Task of Judging.

Representative Kent Keller's guam
Diary over the selection Of a portrait
of the late Speaker Henry r. Rainey
became even more confusing today
with the announcement that sixth
artist would submit a likeness before
the final judging.
Four paintings are now hanging in
the conference room Of the House
Library Committee, of which Mr..
Keller Is chairman. Another is being
painted by Hans Schlereth Of Harris
g. Ewing, photographers, and a sixth
Is expected momentarily by the chair
man.
When the time for final selection
comes, the committee will have to
deal with six artists, each Of whom
thought his painting was to hang In
the Speakers lobby and that he was
TO paid $4,000. The committee has
introduced bill for the payment, but
1t still must decide who Is to re-
ceive it, along with the honor of
hanging the painting.
Representative Keller announced
that Mrs. Henry T. Rainey will be the
final arbiter. He also intends to ask
Representative Caroline O'Day of
New York, formerly an artist, and
Representative Isabella Greenway of
Arizona, whom he termed IAN artist
all the way through her nature" to
help him. Mrs. Greenway was sghast
at the idea of acting as art critic and
Mrs. O'Day said she was without an
opinion.
The artists who have paintings in
the conference room now are Howard
Chandler Christy, Boris Gordon, N.
R. Brewer and Edwin Child. The
name of the sixth artist was not
revealed.

S|LVER'S DECLINE
APPEARS CHECKED
Some Experts Believe u. S.
Seeks to Block Move for
Cheaper Pound.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 30.-The back.
sliding in world silver markets ap-
peared to have been checked today.
The price Of foreign white metal
for commercial use held unchanged
in New York at yesterdays level Of
75s. cents an ounce, after prices had
stiffened in London and Montreal.
The 75A -cent level compared with
the 15-year peak of 81 cents last
week. The Treasury still stood pat
on its price to domestic mines Of
77.57 cents.
The Montreal futures market re-
covered / to IA cents an ounce. In
London. silver bullion rose II of
penny to "a 411-16 pence, which was
equivalent to 75.4s cents in New
York.
Some Wall Street monetary ex-
perts thought they saw developing
situation in which the giant British
equalization would dance-and like it
while the United States Treasury
piped the tune.
The administrations silver-buying
program at advancing world prices
some quarters in the foreign exchange
market believed they perceived a
threat to the Indian rupee, and
through it to the British pound ster-
ling. to which it is anchored" through
Official exchange control.
While the principal backing Of the
Indian currency unit Is holdings of
British sterling securities, 1t is pointed
out that the major part of the circn-
lating medium. in a country where
banks are nearly unknown outside of
the few large cities, is silver coin.
A further advance in the world price
Of silver to $l06 an ounce or there
abouts, according to most calculations,
would put the rupee in the present
position of the Mexican peso. where
it would be profitable to melt it down
for its bullion content.
That is calculated on the present
exchange value Of the pound and the
rupee with the dollar. Now if the
British official control were to try to
depreciate the pound further, these
Wall Street experts point out, 1t would
lower the world silver price at which
it would become profitable to melt
down rupee coins.
So they think the American bid
ding up of the price Of silver may rep
resent a warning to the British not
to try to depreciate the pound further,
for if they do, silver can quickly be
put to level which will disrupt the
rupee coinage. Recent declines in the
pound sterling have had an adverse
effect upon American commodity mar
kets and have been q source Of con-
siderable worry.
