Fort Wayne, Mar. 24 — (U.R) —1 Definitely a strong contender for the championship, only a single question arises in consideration es Central of Fort Wayne as a fint'.'lsl in the Indiana high school basketball tournament. Coach Murray Mendenhall may not be able to supply the answer I himself until just before the Tig- j cis fare Central of Evansville in' the first game of the finals at In-1 dianapolis Saturday. The question is a matter of selecting a starting five from 10 athletes of virtually matched ability. The lineup most always is in doubt as several of the players alternate positions. Four have | been used at center during the j season. Although their size is only average, the Tigers have speed to > pare. A difficult schedule has given experience to a squad which includes five athletes who are playing their first year on the varsity. Here is the squad from which ' Mendenhall will make hi-- sek-c-:

PAYROLLS SHOW SLIGHT BOOST Slight Increase Is Noted In Indiana During FebruaryBioomington. Ind.. Mar. 24. —(U.R) —Payrolls in Indiana made a slight Increase during February although employment was slightly below that of the previous month, the Indiana university bureau of business research reported today. "Manufacturing industries increased both employment and payrolls. and thus non-manufacturing industries, chief among which is the retail trade, were responsible for the decreases.” the bureau said. "There were no outstanding developments in agriculture except for an increase in live stock receipts over this month of last year. Not much definite information was available as to wheat crop prospects." "Business movements during FiTruary in Indiana were mixed and irregular, but there was sufficient weight on the downward side to bring the general business curve a few points lower. The principal sustaining influences were building activity coal production and live stock sales all of which had above normal trends during both January and February. Newspaper advertising, bank debits, sales of new and used automobiles,

'pig iron production nnd stone shipments wore factors in the downward movement. 1 “Despite the irregularity there were a number of very definite points worthy of notice in regard to Indiana business. First, retail , trade continued to be very slow I and dollar sales volumes were about the same as last year. This was attributed not to a fundamental weakness in consumer purchasing power, but to weather and other seasonal causes. Second, the decline in automobile sales was more than seasonal and automotive industries failed to make the normal gains for this month. Third, the building industry continued to show signs of renewed life. Permits issued in both January and February have been far above the comparable months in 1935. Fourth, steel ingot production made a decided pick-up even in the fact of slack automotive demand." "Two fairly important indicators of industrial activity, electricity production and pig iron production, made declines within the month. However, there were manyother indications of strength in the : industrial situation. Industries 1 operating at a comparatively good rate during February were coal mines, steel mills, petroleum re--1 fineries, railroad repair shops and stone mills.” according to the re- ' port. o I Misa Mary Menses returned front New York today for an intended visit with her parents, Mr. and . Mrs Ed Moses of the city.

FARMERS WILL BOOST ACREAGE .. — ( Indiana Fanners To Increase Acreage By 11 Per Cent Lafayette, Ind.. March 24 -(I P) ( - With the contr'lled-erop program ( of the AAA invalidated. Indiana , farmers ar> making plan* to In- 1 crease acreage planting npproximately 11 per cent this yer. a survey by the Purdue University agricultural division indicated today. The survey of proposed planting made on March 1 showed HVMwier farmers expect to plant approximately $4.28d,0°0 acres of corn, nearly 250,000 acre* more than last year. During the five-year period between 192 S and 1932, the average corn acreage in Indiana was 4.546,000. but in 1934 it dropped to 3,883999 and last year it wan 4.038,000 The "intentions-toeplant" survey showed that approximately 1.470.000 acres of oats will lie sown. Soy bean acreage is expected to decrease from 720.000 to 640.000 acres. Tame hay acreage in ex'pfrcted to increase from 1,750,000 to 1,880.000. (P-arley planting indications show that acreage will increase from 26. 000 to 35.000; toba.ee, from 8.200 to l«»,10) aerm. and pout res probably will decrease from <6.090 to 61.000 acres. THINK LANDON <IX INI'EI FROM >NE> ing for about two years, chairman James A. Farl?y of the Democratic national committee and chairman Henry P. Fletcher of tne Republican committee disagree, however, on the extent to which anti-Roose-velt sentfxent han descended through the business scale from the top toward the bottom. Farley contends that only "big business,” the so-called vested interests ot many a hot campaign, are aligned aginst Mr. Roosevelt nd that the small business man still is the friend of the new deal. Fietcher believes the business community genreally will smite Mr. Roosevelt next November Typical of this confidence was a sentence appearing this week in the National committee’s mimeographed introducton to one of Fletcher's statements. The statement assaHsd Mr. Roosevelt's relief message to congrss in which he < ontended business must do more toward ending unemployment. The Republican high command interpreted tltat as an attack on business and in circulating Fletcher's reply, explained:, I "Mr. Fletcher's statement was Frankly a defense of business in ; the case of ‘Roosevelt versus busi- i ness.’ ” —, o — —-—- Commodores Guests Os Adams Theater Members of the Decatur Commodores.
