Assured that they will be asked to pass a security measure, legislatures have learned from administration leaders that Indiana will be unable to establish the $36-pcr-month minimum requested by President Roosevelt. In view of the fact that the counties themselves will be forced to bear the large share of the pension load, financial experts have pointed out that only the minimum amount can be made available for the next two years It was shown that if a $39 i monthly minimum were forced i upon the counties, their annual financial load would be increased nearly $5,666,606. Since (he counties already have made their 1935 budgets and are I unable to provide added expend!I tures by tax levy, and the state i has refused to bear a heavy drain 1 on the genera) fund, it appeared that the pension question war destined to be delayed until late in the session. The liquor bill, the contents o ? I which are being cloeely guarded by administration leaders, is expected to Include provisions for a bipartisan control board, an exec- > utive secretary, who in effect would be the excise director, and reduced taxes on spiritous beverages. Substitution of the importer: p'an in the be«r setup also is being ‘ considered. If changes, however, it will be over the protests of the administration, which favors retention of the importers. Two lines of thought are being followed in formulation of the state police bill. The first, i which appears to be the most popular, is placing the department strictly on a merit basis j and giving a director of safety | sole power tn admlnietratlon of I the affairs of the department. The other is establishment of i ta bi-partisan police board of five ■ members.

WALKING YOUTH GIVEN RELIEF Lad Sentenced’ To Hike 24 Hours Daily Given Respite Anderson, Ind.. Jan. 28 —(UP) — Edward Faster, 16 year old Alexandria youth who c'.iose to walk 1,440 miles rather than spend three veors in the state reformatory for robbery was paroled today by judge Charles E. Smith of Madison circuit court. Edward was paroled to the Rev. Leo Scheetz, pastor of St. Mary’s Catholic church at Alexandria. He a tu lly walked only 36 miles making one round trip between Alexandria and Anderson last Friday and walking back to Alexandria Saturday. i The penalty required that he ' c’rry a 26 pound load of paving j bricks representing the weight of I loot ho carted out of the grocery I store which he admitted robbing. “That was my first and last | crime." the red headed youth said when he was notified of the parole. He and Father Scheetz came to Anderson by automebile this morning. Judge Smith issued a formal statement after granting the parole. “After carrying out my original intention of testing the sincerity of Edward Foster and his worthiness for a susit tnded sentence and being satisfied with his reactions thereto, I am .paroling Edward Foster to Father Scheetz, his pariah priest, with instructions that a report be made to the court on Monday and Friday of each week.” , o BATTLE LOOMS • CONTINUED ON PAGE FIVE) ly voted by she necessary two-thirds majority. The Coughlin-Mrs. Roosevelt debate added fresh interest to the controversy. Coughlin warned congress not to “tie the gordian knot of the world court around the neck of the 'merica’s people.” He called on his listeners to telegraph their Senators of their opposition to the court. A few hours after he had spoken, Mrs. Roosevelt, speaking as a "citii zen and a woman,” urged entrance to the court. She, too, urged her au dience to express its sentiment to the senate. Coughlin's attack was met today with a statement by the National world court committee, headed by Newton D. Baker, former secretary ' of war under President Wilson--1 This statement declared Couglin’s I criticism was based on "a great many mistakes of fact.” "Father Coughlin” toe statement said, ‘ ‘Says all the veterans are ' against the court. He ignores the fact that the American Legicn endorsed American membership in the world court in 1925 and 1929.” o Ravelings Staff To Sponsor Movie A benefit movie, “Lives of a BenI gan Dancer” will ibe sponsored at | the Adams theater February 14, 15 ! and 16 by the Ravlings Staff and Commercial Club of the Decafur ■ high school.
