POPE URGED TO SAVE STRENGTH Despite Improvement, Anxiety Felt Over Heart Condition Vatican City, Jan. 14. — (U.R) — Pop** Pius, enjoying the usual morning relief from pains in his legs, was placed in his new wheel chair today and wheeled into a salon adjoining his bedroom, where , he conferred with Cardinal Pacelli, his secretary of state, on current church business. Afterward he received his sister, Donna Camilla Ratti. After the audiences, the pope asked to be wheeled to his window where he enjoys the warm sunshine while reading his voluminous Correspondence. Intimates say that he takes particular pleasure in reading letters from children and simple Roman Catholics expressing hope for his recovery. An official of the Vatican said that the pope passed a fairly good night and that his general condition appeared satisfactory. The pope yesterday expressed | the wish that he might celebrate | mass today, for the first time since , he was bedridden December 5.| using a small portable altar plac-; ed over the wheel c{iair which he | used for the first time yesterday. , Prof. Aminta Milant, it was said,, ■believing that to celebrate musj as the pope wished might overtax his strength, persuaded him to | wait until he was more fit. Hence, informants said, the pope planned to assist from his bed today in the celebration of mass, as he has done since his illness. The portable altar prepared for the celebration of mass is similar to those used in celebrating field mass. A small mhrble slab is in- ■ NOTICE To the Policy holder of the Eche Tornado Insurance Co.

Edgar Hoover of the| federal bureau of invesitigalion today indicated federal authorities i I believe that more than one kid-, naper may be involved in the ab- | duetion and slaying of 10 year old I (Tiarles Mattson. Hoover appeared before a house 1 I appropriations sub-committee to 1 ' testify on the Justice department 'appropriation bill for the next ' 'fiscal year. | He told the United Press that the FBI had "nothing to say” about progress on the case until it was solved. “We will not discuss it now,” he explained. “The same policy continues to prevail until we catch him.” Smiling, he then retracted the . . word “him” and substituted “him | or them” but refused to elaborate | on the statement. Hoover’s statement came as his department mailed out printed notices to all law enforcement agencies of the SIO,OOO reward offered by the government for information leading to apprehension of those responsible for the Mattson kidnap-slaying. o Trade in a Good Town — Decatur

.CITIES SEEK 1 LEGISLATION Municipal League Officials Propose Six-Point Program I Indianapolis, Jan. 14. — (U.R) — Members of the legislative committee of the Indiana Municipal League, composed of city officials, i met here today to consider means ' of furthering their legislative pro-i grain. Late yesterday afternoon the delegation, headed by Mayor Clell E. Firestone of Goshen, president of the league, conferred with Gov. M. Clifford Townsend seeking administration support of the proposals. After the parley the ofI ticials said the governor's attitude . appeared favorable. A statewide meeting of the lea- | gue probably will be held here next week, Firestone said. The league has a six-point legislative program consisting of: 1. Repeal of state and county l taxes on municipally owned and operated utilities; exemption from all other taxation; new legislation giving cities and towns unrestrict- ' ed right to acquire or erect util- , ities. 2. Distribution of a larger share 'of gasoline taxes to cities and towns, and a more liberal participation of cities and towns in the excise tax collected on alcoholic beverages. 3. Amendments to the Barret law to encourage public improvements and co-ordinate the law with state and federal agencies to obtain more WPA and PWA benefits. 4. Holding city elections at times distinctly separate from county, state or national elections. 5. Legislation to permit cities to transfer funds from one department to another and curtailment of the powers of the state tax board to review such action. 6. General legislation granting more local self-government to cities and towns. Rep. George Wolf, however, plans to introduce a bill Monday which will allow privately owned utilities to compete with municipal plants, both to be subject to

SIMPSON FILES SLANDER SUIT Ex-Husband Os Wallis Simpson Files Slander Suit London, Jan. 14.— (U.R) —A most reliable source confirmed today that legal proceedings which Em-1 est Simpson started to defend his name in connection with the di- ( vorce which Mrs. Wallis Simpson obtained were commenced about a week or ten days ago. Simpson filed a slander suit against Mrs. John Sutherland, wife of Lieut. Col. Arthur Sutherland. ’ The suit was based on a remark, said to have been made at a lunch-| eon at which Mrs. Sutherland was present, which alleged that Simpson was "well paid" for permitting the divorce. The United Press informant said today that it was possible the case might be settled out of court. “But this is believed to be tin-: likely,” he added. "The case is not expected to break into the op-1 en for several weeks. The case is now sub Judice (before the court). It will not be open to the public until after it is set down for hearing and pleadings have been terminated. No statement has been delivered yet. There is no place where the public might get information regarding the case for the I foregoing reasons.” o ASK TOWNSEND AID IN STRIKE Governor Also Considers Possible Use Os National Guard Indianapolis, Jan. 14. —(U.R) —The possibility of sending national guard troops to Anderson in event 'of violence in strike and lockout of approximately 12.000 workers from two plants affiliated with General Motors corporation was considered today by Gov. M. Clifford Townsend. The governor said he would dispatch troops only "as a last resort if the situation gets out of hands of local authorities.” Townsend confered late yesterday with" representatives of the citizens league for employment security, aligned against the United Automobile Workers at Anderson. Homer Lambert, president of the league, told Townsend he feared trouble ft estrikers were imported to Anderson “as has been done other places,” and claimed 95 per cent of the employes of the Guide Lamp corporation and Delco Remy plant wished to return to work. The Guide Lamp, employing approximately 3,000 closed Dec. 30 with a “sit down” strike by about 200 workers and the Delco Remy was closed by the management Jan. 4 for lack of shipping orders. Approximately 150 “sit downers” remain in the Guide Lamp plant. Townsend also received a delegation of workmen from the Chev-rolet-Muncie company plant at Muncie where 1,500 were thrown out of work by lack of materials, who urged he use hie influence to settle the situation. The Muncie employes have given the management a vote of confidence. URGES GROWING Beet growers association located in the 10 Indiana and Ohio counties, supplying beets to the Deca- | tur factory. J.

In addition to returns received under their cooperWive contract with the Central Sugar company, most of the beet' growers will also receive a special payment of approximately 40 cents a ton, or close to $3.50 per acre of beets, under the soil conservation program. “LITTLE NRA” talitiee.

NEGRO PORTER ADMITS GUILT Major Greene Confesses To New York Bathtub Murder New York, Jan. 14.—(UP)—Major Greene, Wiry, 33-year-uld negro I porter, confessed today that lie ' killed Mrs, Mary Harriet Case, pret- ■ ty college graduate and d-'signer. | District attorney Charles P. Sul- , llivan of Queens county announced I that Greene acknowledged having struck the 25-year-old Matron on i the head with a hammer and dumpIng her body into the tub in the I bathroom of her Jackson heights apartment Monday afternoon- Theft I was the negro's motive. Despite the strong circumstantial evidence against him, Greene had insisted for hours that he never | had been in the Caso apartment. “Not me, not me, mister," he said ovor and over again. At 3:45 A. M. today, he broke I down and dictated a confession. Sullivan withheld its details. He ■ said, however, that Greene was admitted to the Case apartment “just before" 2 p- m. Monday on the prei text that he was going to wash the i windows. When Mrs. Case, a bride I of little more than a year, discoveried him in an attempt at thievery, ’ j she was struck down. Sullivan said the confession was I vague on many details and did not (reveal where Greene obtained the hammer. Greene was the only per- ■ son involved, he said. The negro was arrested early yesterday, 36 hours after Frank W. Case, youthful hotel executive, returned home and discovered his
