Thw year's observance of boy's and girls’ week in Decatur will be remembered long after others are forgotten, is the prediction of ! Guy Brown, high school principal, i made today. He attributes this to the fact that as a coincidental tribute to the Decatur youth, a picture of every boy and girl of school age in the city, is recorded in the high school film, being presented at the Madison theater. The value of the film is expected to be greatly enhanced in later rears by this fact, Mr. Brown stat-! 'W today.

INDIANASEEKS FEDERAL FUNDS Gottschalk Asks I’WA Funds To Aid Building Plans Indianapolis, Apr. 27— <U.R) — I Thurman A Gottschalk, state pub- i lie welfare director, and Edward Brennan, budget director, will; seek federal WPA funds to supplement the $2,300,000 building j program at state institutions in ! the next two years, they an-I uounced today. Gottschalk and Brennan are 1 leaving M tour the East to study i institution operation methods iu ' New York, Pennsylvania. Massa- j chusetts aud New Jersey. Indiana - recently placed all of the state ' institutions under the department | of public welfare with Gottschalk j as supervisor. Gottschalk and Brennan will I visit Washington also to consult I public works administration off! ' cials on the possibility of loans ' for Indiana's institutional rebabl-' litation program. New state construction on which federal assistance will be ' sought includes: units at the Rich-1 rnond and Logansport state hos pi tai s each to cost $250,000; a men's dormitory at the central state hospital costing $245,000, construction at the Muscatatuck colony for feeble-minded costing I $250,000; a new building at the soldiers and sailor's orphans home to cost SIOO,OOO, and possibly a service building at the Michigan j City state prison. 1 Prison labor which the state i uses in construction at Michigan I City probably would prohibit use !of federal funds, however, Brennan said. Brennan also asserted that a new unit may be added to th) 1 Madison state hospital if federal ■funds can be obtained. At pres’ent no construction is planned for the Madison institution, although a new dormitory will be erected when funds are available. PLAN PROBE OF RAILROAD SALE © ■ Senate May Probe Sale Os Control Os Aan j Sweringen System — Washington. Apr. 27 —<U.R) An investigation of the sale of control j of the Van Sweringen railroad system was planned today by Sen. j Burton K. Wheeler. D., Mont., chairman of the senate rail fin- J ance committee. Wheeler said that within the next 10 days the committee will open an inquiry into the IraiMutction which yesterday transfeWed control of the Allegheny Corp., top j Van Sweringen holding company, from the George aud Frances Ball . to three eastern iu vestors. “The committee will look into all phases of the maneuver," he I said, “including the financial backing of the purchasers and the contemplated use of the newly acquired holdings. “it is imperative that something be done about holding companies in the railroad industry. This is l an example of how control®over | vast empires of railroads can be ! tossed about like a toy balloon ; There is no excuse for holding companies among railroads that I

1 can »«c " The investigation, it was indicated. probably would bring the three investors Robert R. Young and Frank F. Kolbe, pt New York, 1 and Allen P. Kirby, <>f WilkesBarre, Pa. — to Washington to 1 testify. It also might produce an invitation to Georfic A. Ball. Muncie. Ind., glass jar manufacturer, who acquired control of the system from the late Van Sweringen brothers when they wvre unable I to meet obligations to New York bankers. Ball was questioned by the committee in January, iiefore he organized the foundation and transferred control of the network to it. Control Passes New York, Apr. 27—XU.P.F Con- . trol of the vast Van Sweringen ! railway and veal estate empire, once valued at $3.(100,01)0,000. ; passed today into the hands of two members of a New York stock exchange firm and a director of a ; Wilkes-Barre, Pa., bank. George A. Ball, Muncie, Ind , glass manufacturer, who bought ! control of the properties at a creditor s sale iu 1935 for a little , more than $3,000,000. announced that he had sold out to Robert R. i Young and Frank F. Kolbe, part- . ners in the firm of Young, Kolbe j & Co., and Allan P. Kirby of Wilkes-Barre, son of a founder of the F. W. Woolworth company. Ball acquired control of the empire as the result of a $40,000,000 loan default by the late O. P. and M. J. Van Sweringen, Cleveland promoters. The bankers group headed by J. P. Morgan & Co., which sold the control in default Young. Kolbe, and Kirby acquirof the obligation, took the loss, ed control of 28,000 miles of railroad —a system surpassed only by the government-owned lines in Russia and Germany—but all disclaimed knowledge of railroad operation. They announced that they were the .actual buyers, and that were no undisclosed principals. They made it clear that they hoped changes iu the stock market would bring to their Investment a measure of the value it held in the days before the 1929 market crash. Value of the securities sold by Ball was estimated on the basis of current market quotations at from $8,000,000 to $10,000,000. A | "substantial" amount of cash was ! said to have been Involved and I I the remainder of the purchase I i price was understood to have been covered by notes and other conI siderations.

DEFENSE BILL IS APPROVED War Department Appropriations Bill Approved By Committee Washington. Apr. 27 <U.R> Thu house appropriations committee approved a $416,413,382 war department appropriations bill today, and criticized the nation's defenses as “unprepared to offer resistance to any force equipped with modern offensive weapons." The recommended appropria-! tion is $25,395,677 larger than last year, hut the committee stated that "appreciably larger" allocations will be necessary in future ' budgets if au adequate national defense is to be maintained. The $416,413,382 is $385,079 less than President Roosevelt's budget estimates. Principal increases over last | year’s appropriation resulted from ; augmented regular arrnft person- ; nel, advanced food prices, air I corps expansion, replacement of deteriorated ammunition stocks I remaining after the world war, a 5.000-man increase in the national guard, and procurement of new land for air bases. "Unless there is to be an appreciably larger allocation to the military arm in future budgets, our defense preparation very, largely will consist of manpower, 1 unequipped and unltgplemented and virtually unprepared to offer resistance to any force equipped with modern offensive weapons and agencies," the committee reported. • The committee said the army was short of tanks, armored cars, semi-automatic rifles, anti-aircraft' guns, ammunition, towage facilities, and Kiotors. ti added there , is a $162,000,000 army housing bill pending in the budget bureau, 1 that air bases and stations under' the Wilcox act will cost $115,000,000 and authorization to expand the air corps will mean increased appropriations ranging from $20,000,000 to $.0,000,000 per year from now until 1940. “The situation is extremely disturbing aud unless funds are to be forthcoming without stint. it would seem that there has to be deferment of personnel expansion and perhaps contraction,” the committee said. “There would be no other way to arrive at a balance as between personnel and material." ■ The bill appropriates $5,003,320

' for ■eacoat defenses in the United 1 States, insular departments and ! the Panama Canal. Largest Rem in the bill Is $161,548,460 for pay of the army, $7,I 404.900 more than last year. The non-military appropriation bill — carrying an estimated $30,000,0001 ■ for rivers and harbors projects—will be brought to the floor later us a separate 'neasure The bill provides $67,075,514 for the air corps and calls for procurement of 513 planes this year as 638 last year. Q MARION COUNTY (CONTINUED FROM . AGE QNE) I Gottschalk. "I hopq the matter will be worked out satisfactory so ! that no one will suffer; especially those who are recipients of assist-1 ance which the federal government, and state grant jointly to the aged,' the blind aud dependent 1 children. ; Gottschalk was administration | leader in the senate of the last ' legislature which passed the act I i placing appointment of the Marion county welfare director in the I i hands of the state welfare board I instead of the county board. The resignations are the after- ' math of the slugging of former stale welfare director Wayne Coy I in the statehouse corridors last I March 1 by Peter Cancilla. Indian-' a polls attorney and henchmen of Joe| Baker, Marion county welfare director at that time. In a fever of indignation the i passed a bill ousting! Baker from office, created a com-1 mission to investigate the slugg-; ing and gave power to name the Marion county welfare director to the state welfare board. The Marion coanty grand jury indicted both : Baker and Cancilla for the attiMk l

| on Coy. who since has gone to the i Philippine Islands with former Gov. Paul V. McNutt. Logical result of the resigna-1 tions is for the administration to | quietly press for appointment of a new board by Judge Cox which | i will co-operate with the state wel- ! fare department, and reports today were that this will be done. Thom as Neal, named by the state wel-1 fare board to succeed Baker, has been at odds with the county board, which has refused to pay l him his salary. , If a friendly board can be found it may eliminate the Joel Baker faction in Marion county poßtlcs. for the time being and promote a more harmonious democracy for the 1939 election campaign. Board members who resigned | were Judge L. Ert Slack, Mrs. Marie R. Rooliug, both Democrats; | Rev. Linn A. Tripp and Mrs. Karl | ‘ R. Ruddell, Republicans, the fifth I member of the board, F. O. Belzer, | was asked to resign Dt-cause his ' daughter works for the state welfare department. —« — Chester Cook Dies At Home In Ceylon Chester Cook, 25, of Ceylon, died suddenly at 3 o'clock this morning at this home.
