THE POST-DEMOCRAT FRIDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1939.
THE POST-DEMOCRAT A Democratic weekly newspaper representing the Democrata of Muncie, Delaware County and the 10th Congressional District, The only Democratic Newspaper in Delaware County. Entered as second classc matter January 15, 1921, at the Postoffice at Muncie, Indiana, under Act of March 3, 1879. PRICE 5 CENTS—$1.50 A YEAR 223 North Elm Street, Phone 7412. MRS. GEO. R. DALE, Publisher Muncie, Indiana, Friday, October 13, 1939.
First Lady Comes To Muncie One week from next Wednesday night, October 25th, Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, wife of the President and First Lady of the United States, will come to Muncie and appear before an expected huge audience at the fieldhouse to give an address on the “Problems of Youth.” The program is being sponsored by the Muncie Optimist club for the benefit of their boys work program. Mrs. Roosevelt will come here direct from Washington by plane and a large welcome is being planned for her visit to this city. It must be admitted that Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt is a most brilliant and learned woman and a very capable speaker. Two years ago last August, the President’s wife and son, James, attended the national convention of the Young Democrats of America at*Indianapolis. Both Mrs. Roosevelt and her son, Jimmie, who was at that time a secretary to his father, the President, appeared on the program before a large group of young Democrats. Many from Muncie heard the First Lady talk then and personally met her on that visit. Having raised a sizable family of her own, Mrs. Roosevelt has continued to be much interested in the problems of youth and is often called upon to make public addresses as well as write newspaper and magazine articles upon these subjects. She h^s also widely demonstrated her interest in numerous charitable projects among which is the federal housing program for the better living conditions of unfortunate peoples. This country is fortunate to have as a partner to our President such a character and mate as Eleanor Roosevelt. She is accepted as being the greatest First Lady to reside in the vhite House and spares nearly all of her time for the benefit of public interest and welfare. Muncie is honored to have such a woman as our guest and to hear her speak is most worthy of your attendance at the fieldhouse, October 25th.
We Must Keep Our Heads Rarely in our history has it been so necessary for Americans to keep their heads as it is today. The most ghastly of all tragedies has engulfed Europe. It is the burning hope of the vast majority of our people that we may escape the holocaust of destruction. We have not forgotten the World War. It sowed the seeds for the years of social discontent and depression that followed. We have not forgotten that thousands of American lives and untold billions in American wealth and resources were sacrificed. Only history will eventually reveal what good, if any, came from that war. ' The President has said that as long as it remains within his power, there shall be no “blackout of peace” in this nation. In that he echoes the minds and hearts of all of us. But the mere wish is not enough. Hysteria, passion, fanaticism, mistaken idealism—these things can be the producers of ruin and horror. American neutrality is dependent upon America keeping its head. No one knows when the war will end, or who will be the “victor.” But certainly there is justified fear that all that is best in Europe may be lost to that continent for many years after hostilities have stopped. War means that the arts of peace must be ruthlessly dropped in order that the arts of death and destruction may be advanced. The preservation of liberties which have been won through centuries, are threatened in a warring world.
FIRST DUTIES The Western Hemisphere acknowledges the United States as the leader. These republics to the south are usually good neighbors. Argentina is just as careful of its integrity and fairness as is the United States. It is “historically and commercially a British supply house,” observes Time Magazine, because Britain is a natural market for its agricultural products—we raise our own. Nevertheless the United States announces the good news of a proposed trade agreement with Argentina. For various reasons Chile, Peru, Brazil and other republics, have every reason to deal with the United States on a basis of equality as their conduct is usually proper and neighborly. On the whole, a condition of solidarity, such as is of vital importance in the time of a world war, is likely to be maintained in the Americas. The leadership of the United States can hold this chain from breaking. That is our first duty.
A popular program introduced last year in the Muncie city schools will again be conducted this year on November 10th. The boys and girls will stay at home on that day while their parents are invited to attend classes at school. The classes will be conducted in the afternoon and evening in order to provide for th& attendance of more fathers than were able to go to school last year. The program is an observance of National Education Week and will end with a dinner being served in the high school cafeteria and an assembly *m the auditorium where an outstanding speaker will address the student body of mothers and fathers. Gum chewing, cigarette smoking, paper wad throwing and such other practices against school discipline is expected to be rigidly enforced.
A large number of prospective major league ball players exhibited their style of base running, fielding, catching, hitting, and other tricks on a baseball diamond during the past week in the local tryouts conducted by representatives from the Brooklyn Dodgers. It is altogether possible this community may produce some mighty good material who in a few years wilhbe exciting the fans at a World’s Series battle.
The city of Muncie may soon be the center of an aeronautical map, at least for awhile, if the two endurance fliers who have been continuously in the air since a week ago last Sunday are able to crack the world’s record for a such a flight. Robert McDaniels and Kelvin Baxter hope to remain aloft for 500 hours which would break the present record by nearly 157 hours. This is the second trial for their goal, having been forced to land last month after flying for 188 hours.
‘THE-'’ leoosxEie’s: 'Siouies
By WALTER A. SHEAD Approximately 60,000 owners of Indiana dairy herds comprising some 700,000 head of cattle, are today forced to stand the expense of blood testing, and have lost their indemnity for destroyed cattle in tihe fight against Bangs Disease, as a result of the refusal of Republicans in the last general assembly to appropriate money for this cause. * * * Up until the end of the last fiscal y«ar June 30, 1939, the Federal government was bearing one-third of the cost to eradicate this dread and fatal disease among cattle. But the Republican House of Representatives J^efused to appropriate $100,000' to match federal funds for the Indiana dairymen. * * « s* It will be remembered, and is 1 remembetred by the farmers, that Mr. Archie Bobbitt, chairman of the Repuiblican State Committee, who was giving orders to the 51 Republican members of the House, was particularly adamant upon this specific appropriation, saying in substamce, “The farmers have had enough, and it will be our { policy to step on every appropriation for any cause, for any purpose or for any reason.” And step they did. * * * The result is that Dr. j. Leonard Axby, state veterinarian, after considerable dickering with the Federal government and with Purdue university finally contracted with the pharmaceutical firm of Pittman & Moore, to make these blood tests at 10 cents per test. The government would have charged 25 cents. * * * For cattle destroyed, however, the dairymen lost the indemnity paid by the state and federal government jointly. The state veterinarian. has, since August 1934 been co-operating with the Federal Bureau of Animal Husbandry in blood testing Indiana herds to eradicate the disease. With refusal of the appropriations, however, the Republicans have cut off the federal money. * * * Bangs disease is an infectious abortion disease in cattle and is transmitted to man in the form of undulant fever. The State Board of Health reports that during the past year there were 52 cases of undulant fever reported and that four of these cases were
fatal.
Dr. Axby reports that approximately forty applications are being received daily for herd testing and that about fifty per cent of the Herds show some infection with the Bangs disease. More/than a year ago approximately'13.6 per cent of the 700,000 head of cattle were found to be infected. This percentage has dropped to about 9 per cent at this writing. Lack of funds to enforce testing and destruction of infected cattle, however may increase the percentage of infection. * * I* The Federal government matching-funds-policy had been paying from $25 for grade cattle up to $50 for pure bred cattle in indemnities. The dairymen now have lost this indemnity due to the arbitrary stand taken by the Republican members of the General Assembly. * * # The State of Wisconsin recent-1 ly appropriated $1,000,000 for this purpose. Illinois appropriated $150,000. Ohio appropriated the same amount and the appropriation in Michigan was $350,000. Indiana alone failed to make the appropriation. * * * It would seem that the attitude of Republican legislators towards the farmers in Indiana, is approximately the same as the attitude of the Indiana Republicans in the Congress, to let the farmers shift for themselves. For that is what they did when they voted against the appropriation for the Commodity Credit Corporation used to peg the farmers’ produce prices. ♦ * * Thanks to a watchful administration the appropriation was slipped in as a rider on the deficiency appropriation bill. Indiana had no deficiency bill in which to slip the appropriation for the eradication of Bangs disease.
EMPLOYMENT IN STATE GAINING
Pay Rolls And Work Gain 5.5 Per Cent in One Month Indiana., manufacturing employment and pay rolls made more than the seasonally expected gains from mid-August to mid-Septem-ber/J. Bradley Haight, acting director of the Indiana State Employment Service, said today. His statement was based on a tabulation of early reports made available by 806 manufacturing plants employing 122.347 wage earners in September. This was an increase of 5.5 per cent from the August employment in identical plants. Factory pay rolls also advanced 5.5 per cent during the month. The general nature of the current expansion was indicated by the fact that among the 14 major groups of maufacturing industries studied, 12 expanded employment while 10 groups increased pay
rolls.
Seasonal indexes for Indiana manufacturing employment based on the experience, from 1930 to 1935 inclusive show an increase of 3.6 per cent from August to September is normal. The gain this year not only w^as greater than the seasonal average but also exceeded the average increase of the last four years without correction for cyclical changes. The gains from August to September were very evenly distributed between the durable and non-durable goods groups of manufacturing industries. The heavy goods industries expanded employment 5.5 per cent and pay rolls 4.6 per cent, v'hile the non-durable goods group showed -gains of 5.5 per* cent in employment and 7.5 per cent in pay rolls. The -employment gains from August to September ranged from 0.1 per cent in the clay, ston^, and glass products group to 17.9 per cent in the non-ferrous metals and pr^dilcts group. Three groups—• transportation equipment, non-fer-rous metals and products, and rubber products expanded employment more than 10.0 per cent. The lumber and allied products and foods and kindred products groups of manufacturing industries showed employment gains of 5- per cent from August to September. The leather and its products groups, with losses of 0.7 per cent in employment and 13.3 per cent in pay rolls, was the only manufacturing group to curtail both employment and pay rolls from August to September. The textiles and their products group decrease ed employment 1.2 per cent but expanded pay rolls 0.2 per cent. Railroad repair shops addetf 3.2 per cent to their employment total but showed a pay roll loss of 7.7 per cent. The tobacco manufacturers group showed a gain of 0.7 per cent in employment and a loss of 2.2 per cent in pay rolls from August to September. Preliminary September indexes showed manufacturing employment and pay rolls were higher than at any time since November, 1937. Employment w'as 16.0 per cent and pay rolls were 23.6 per cent above the levels of a year ago. Employment and pay rolls in the non durable goods group of manufacturing industries w^ere higher than for any months for which information was available excepting September, 1935 and September, 1937. These records extend back to January, 1935. In comparison with September, 1938, preliminary indexes showed gains of 6.6 per cent in employment and 9.3 per cent in pay rolls. The durable goods manufacturing industries expanded employment 22.3 per cent from September, 1938 to September, 1939. , Reports from 1800 non-manufac-turing establishments employing 35,513 wage earners in September showed increases-of 0.8 per cent in employment and 1.0 per cent in pay rolls in comparison with August. The retail trade, hotels, and dyeing and cleaning industries expanded both employment and pay rolls from mid-August to mid-September. Wholesale trade and coal mining reports show-ed greater pay rolls but less employment in September than in August. Public utilities, quarrying an non-metallic mining and laundries reduced employment and payrolls. The employment losses in wholesale trade, public utilities and coal mining, although small were considered contra-seasonal. The hotel industry was the only non-manu-facturing industry studied which reacted more favorably than seasonally expected. • o ORDINANCE CURBS PERILS FOR WINDOW WASHERS
Providence, R. I.—-A new ordinance providing protection for window washers places responsibility not only on building owners but on the cleaners themselves. It provides that buildings whose windows are washed shall be equipped with anchors built into the wall to the city inspector’s specifications and that window washers shall use safety belts which fit into these anchors.
Highly prized books made for the early kings and popes were so expensive that they actually cost their weight in gold.

Fewer Convicts Due to G-Men, Says Warden Jefferson City, Mo. — Warden Tom Scott says ttie Missouri penitentiary population is dropping. “Why?” says Scott. “Well, times are better, for one thing. But most important is the drive put on by the F.B.I. that took care of the ambitious fellows.” The ex-county sheriff who superintends the big community of criminals says the prison population has fallen from an all-time high of 4,773 to 4.134. He recently returned to the job, succeeding tfle late Frank Ramsey. Scott had quit as deputy warden to make one of his perennial races for county office. , o HEADQUARTERS OF STATE’S FOREST FIRE-FIGHTING UNITS REPORT FIRE BY TELEPHONE
Twenty-seven fire towers and Civilian Conservation Corps camp headquarters for forest-fire fighting units, were listed today by Virgil M. Simmons, commissioner of the Department of Conservation, as stations to which reports of forest fires should he made. Scattered through the wooded sections of the state wdiere the hazard of forest fires is' greatest, these stations are subject to call day or night. Accompanying the map which shows the location of the forest fire stations, is the name of the telephone exchange to which the report should be made. Trained observers are stationed in each of the towers and are equipped with instruments which enable them to locate fires within their visibility range. Supplementing this force’ are trained fire-fight-ing crews in the CCC camps and the organization of fire wardens formed throughout the wooded sections of the state. These crews have had special training in fighting forest fires, answering all calls day and night. Due to the hazardous conditions prevailing—extended dry weather, low humidity, and the addition of early falling leaves to the vegetation already on the ground — requests have been made to rural mail carriers, state and county highway patrolmen and the game wardens to ' report all fires encountered in their travels. Instruction on where fire reports should be relayed, have been furnished telephone exchanges <within the areas where the forest fire protection program is in effect. During the past two weeks a number of fire have occurred — many of them in the northern part of the state. Several thousand acres have been burned in this series of fires and a greater loss has been prevented only by the prompt action of the fire-fighting crews and volunteer helpers. Public cooperation in preventing fires, by not burning debris near wooded areas, by not throwing lighted matches or burning tobacco from motor vehicles and by taking every precaution with camp fires, will aid in the campaign to prevent greater economic losses from for-
est fires.

COUNCIL FAILS (Continued Front Page One) conferred with department heads concerning a remedy. It was decided that all members of both the police and fire departments should take their salary “cuts” instead of reducing the number of members. The fire department had 52 members and the police numbered 42 at that time. The wages of such officers were paid throughout 1933 in accordance with the reduced budget amounts although such payments were under protest by the employees as well as the executive officials. The police and firemen later filed suit to recover the losses in their 1933 wages from the city and such cases were heard during the past week. It is contended that city administrations cannot fix and adjust salaries for themselves hut that salary ordinances are adopted for employees by the city council at the ehd of each four year term to become effective during the following administration. The city council in 1929 fixed the salaries and wages of police and firemen beginning with January first, 1930. It is assumed that such wages should have prevailed throughout the following four years and while the city officials may not have had the authority to reduce such wages, yet, an emergency existed and all available funds were used to meet the emergency. If such salaries and wages could not have been legally reduced, then, the employees whose wages were “cut” are entitled to their jloss of wages during 1933. Certainly, they are as much or more entitied to their hack salaries as were the nine firemen who received nearly $10,000 each from the city for wages they did not earn after their dismissal in 1930 .and reinstatement in 1937. The police and firemen during 1933 remained on their jobs and performed their duties regardless of their
reduced payrolls.
Incomes for industrial workers and all business were forced to accept reductions during the worst years of the depression and perhaps it was right that all government employed workers should have willingly accepted a reduced wage. However, it is wholly iegarded as a legal question and the employees claim a legal debt due to them from the city. Arguments in the two trial cases will be heard by the local court on October 20th. The amounts of back salaries claimed by each plaintiff vary from $400 to $900. The city council in 1932 may be held directly responsible for their failure to provide a budget and tax levy and such cases are not the fault of the city administration at that time. The city councilmen in 1932 were Hubert L. Parkinson, Robert Tumleson, Clarence Hole, Earl Everett, Harry Kleinfelder, Clifford Smith, August Maick, Charles Blease, Rodney Hayler, Ora Shroyer, Frank James and
Edward Winder. o —
