Verdict V'indicates'
Earle, Too, Declares
Lawrence, Acquitted

Democratic Choirmon
Cleared of BIuckmuiI-
Conspiracy Charges
By the Associated Press.

HARRISBURG, Pa. Dec. o.
Cleared of blackmail-conspiracy
charges, Pennsylvania Democratic
Chairman David L. Lawrence viewed
the verdict today as "vindication"
for himself and former Gov. George
H. Earle and his little new deap
administration.
Shortly after a Jury acquitted Mr..
Lawrence on all counts Of three
indictments last night, he tubilantly
declared: "1t's a vindication for
the Governor (Earle), too."
Democrats we're swept out Of
Pennsylvania State Offices last year
by an avalanche Of Republican votes
after controlling the Keystone State
for the first time in q half century.
Mr.. Lawrence, secretary Of the
commonwealth in Mr.. Earle's cabi-
net, was charged by the prosecu-
ton with favoring the Pioneer Ma
terials Co. in award Of State gravel
contracts; blackmailing its former
president, Spurgeon Bowser, OF 5000
and failing to report that sum to
the Democratic State treasurer as
political contribution.
The defendant testified he had
been framed"
Mr.. Lawrence still is listed for
trial next month on another indict-
ment charging coercion of State en-
ployes, together with Ralph M.
Bashore, secretary of the Democratic
State Committee and former secre-
tary Of labor and industry, and flve
others.
His month-long trial was the third
resulting from the special grand
jury's investigation. In one, James
P. Kirk, Pittsburgh Democratic
leader and city treasurer, and Victor
Skok, his associate in the insurance
business, were convicted of conspir-
ing to monopolize the business of
bonding State highway contractors
in Western Pennsylvania. A third
defendant, H. H. Temple, whom
Earle dismissed as chief engineer
of the Highway Department after
the gravel investigation, was acquit-
ted.
Another former member of Earle's
cabinet, Roy E. Brownmiller, was
convicted in the padding of the
State Highways Department pay
rolls just before the 1898 guherna-
torial election, while Brownmiller
was secretary Of highways.
Appeals from the convictions are
pending.

Dental candidate for 1940-Franklin
D. Roosevelt.
The Secretary Of the Interior said
he did not believe that the President
favored Mr.. McNutt for the Demo-
cratic nomination. He added that
the former Hoosier Governor would
not suit the liberal and progressive
element in the New Deal party.
Whether this is just private fued
on the part Of Mr.. Ickes against
McNutt or whether 1t is a begin
ming of a concerted move on the
part of the administration to cut
the McNutt comb has not been dis
closed. It has been, known for
sometime that another member of
the cabinet-Postmaster General
James A. Farley, chairman Of the
Democratic National Committees
opposed to the nomination of Mr..
McNutt.
If this fight against McNutt, who
has been doing lot of the running
so1ar in the Democratic presidential
race, is to be pushed. and in an
acrimonious way, it does not augur
for Democratic harmony. Mr.. Nc
Mutt, 1t is true, has said he will not
be a candidate if President Roose-
velt Is to seek another nomination.
But Mr.. McNutt is not likely to al
low his candidacy to be pushed aside
by Mr.. Ickes or any one else, if the
President is not q candidate.
President Still Silent.
The McNutt people recently have
made wide claims Of support for
their candidate. all the way from the
Atlantic to the Pacific. His cam
paign manager, Frank McHale, has
toured the country and talked with
Democratic leaders in most Of the
States. Mr.. McNutt gave Indiana a
New Deal government when he was
chief executive of the State. and has
proclaimed affection for the New
Deal policies inaugurated by the
President. The assertion of Mr..
1ckes, however. that the liberals will
not support him throws out a dis

tional Committee make common

will fly. President Roosevelt so far
has made no statement regarding his
support or lack of support Of Nc
Mutt. If he gives Mr.. McNutt a pat
on the back, it is probably the New
Dealers will line up for him. But
what Mr.. Farley will do in that case
is another matter.
The Farley opposition to McNutt
goes back to the failure of the
Hoosier, then Democratic leader of
his State, to turn the Indiana dele
CATION to the 1892 convention over
to Mr.. Roosevelt, when Farley was
looking desperately for more dele

Wheeler Sees Need
For Pause in Battle
For Social Reform
Senator Urges Chonge
In Labor Act, Balanced
Budget, End to Waste
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-United
States Senator Burton K. Wheeler,
Democrat, of Montana says the time
has come to stop, look and listen"
in the battle for economic and so
cial reform.
Senator Wheeler, mentioned as a
possible presidential candidate. told
the American Congress of Industry
last night that he favored modi-
flying national labor laws, a bal
anced budget and elimination OF
Government extravaganza and
waste.
The Senator, who was the Pro-
gressive party's candidate for Vice
President in 1924, predicted Con-
gress would take corrective steps"
to change the Wagner Act as a re-
suit of pressure from both labor and
industry, and added:
Public opinion in a democracy
sooner or later furnishes protection
from bad laws and inefficient execu-
tives."
The $500 industrial leaders at
tending the final session of the con-
gress also heard Wendell L. Will
kie, president of Commonwealth &
Southern Corp, criticize the scope
of power granted New Deal agen-
cies.

The National Association OF
Manufacturers, sponsor Of the In
dustrial Congress, elected as its 1910
president H. w. Prentis, jr. presi-
dent of the Armstrong Cork Co. OF
Lancaster, Pa.
Senator Wheeler, in urging cur
tailed governmental expenditures,
made it clear he believed that no
party in power, liberal or conserva-
tive" could have maintained q
budget in balance through periods
of national emergency such as we
have been experiencing"
He declared himself in full sup
port of what he termed the pro-
gressive legislation adopted under
the Roosevelt administration, then
continued:
"The hour has come when we
must stop, look and listen. We must
reinforce our much-advanced posi-
tion in the battle of economic and
social reform.
Every intelligent businessman
realizes we must have reforms to
meet changing conditions-but re-
forms must be constructive and not
always destructive. They should al
ways be within the framework Of
free government"
Hits shifting PHILOSOPHERS"
Senator Wheeler said business
seeks "the greatest possible degree of
stability" and that legislation re-
flecting shifting economic philoso-
phies" makes 1t difficult for business
to plan ahead.
Statutes construed and manipu-
lated by overzealous administrators
create an uncertainty more feared
by business than drastic, though spe-
cif1c legislation"
He said that industry, with the aid
of government, should cooperate
to solve Americas farm and con-
sumption problems.
"The farmers" he observed, "can-
not solve the farm problem. They
are too individualistic to cooperate
as have great business organizations.
The politicians have not and cannot
solve It,"
