I. U. TRUSTEES MEETINGTODAY Selection Os New President Is Expected To Be Delayed Bloomington, Ind., Feb. 28.- tQJ.P.z | —The Indiana university board of trustees was scheduled to meet here today, but It appeared highly doubtful whether a new president of the university would be selected at this session. Complicating the board’s ability to make a decision is the uncertainty of the plans of Paul V. McNutt, former governor and Philip--1 pine Island commissioner. A majority of the board members are known to favor McNutt for the presidency, with probably the present acting president, Dean Herman B. Wells, as second choice. Whether McNutt made known his .decision on the presidency when 1 he visited here a week ago today has not been revealed definitely, but it was believed he deferred j any commitment until after his current visit with federal officials \in Washington Including Prsident Roosevelt. i Wells, who was in the east surI veying potential new talent for the university faculty, saw McNutt in Washington last week and may have some report to make, but it appeared doubtful today whether j the board would be able to transact anything except routine business. Up for consideration are contracts for new equipment for the new university school for training teachers. o CHURCH REVIVALS UNION CHAPEL U. B. The Union Chapel United Brethj ren church, three miles east and | north of Decatur, will continue the I revival services which have been in progress for the past three , weeks. It was announced that there would be no service Monday night or Saturday night but that there would be for all the other I nights of the week, services each i evening at 7:30 p. m. The pastor i ; announced that he would speak i each evening on the best known and best loved text in the Bible, John 3:16. During the past three weeks of meetings, fourteen different chur- ’ ches have had representatives in . the congregation. Stacy F. Shaw, i pastor of the church, has been ’ bringing the messages. John WaiI ters has been directing the congregational singing. A junior band has been organized and is proving very interesting to the children and to the older folks as well. The | public is invited to attend all of i the services. o G-MEN SEEK TO | (CONi iN UED FROM_FA«3B ONE) ; trips to various parts of the city. A prominent physician was re-; ported to have been questioned, and to have admitted knowing of the rings activities. Officers at Mitchel Field, the bulwark of New York City’s air defense, were said to be most anxious that the inquiry be intensified. Extraordinary precautions have been ' taken to prevent the intrusion of ■ spies. As the chronology of operations of the spy ring became clear, it was shown that Rumrich was arrested on Feb. 15 when he aci cepted from a messenger a package ' supposedly containing more than a score of blank passports, which he j had asked for in the name of “Mr. Weston, undersecretary of state.” Passport bureau officials put police on his trail as soon as they received his obviously suspicious 1 request. A dummy package was addressed to him. and detectives followed it through a maze of directions until he was found. G-men said that Rumrich told them that after deserting the army, lie sent a letter to the German “chief of secret service” offering to serve as an espionage agent in the United States. He cited his army service, which included duty in the Panama Canal zone. Later, investigators said. Rum

rich met a man In a Times Square 1 bar. who engaged him as an agent : at 150 a month. So far as could be learned, he never transmitted | any information that could not be found in public documenta. Rumrich's arrest led to the arrest of Miss Hofmann, a native of' Dresden. Questioning led to the; arrest of Glaser. Billy Heideman Makes Fine Record Billy Heideman, 824 Xenia avenue, Dayton, Ohio, son of Al Heideman and grandson of Henry Heideman of this city, is developing Into a violinist of unusual ability and is gaining attention. A recent copy of a Dayton newspaper contains his picture as he is recelng the ■ congratulations of Etelka Evans, of i Cincinnati, national Junior counsel, of the National Federation of | Music clubs, as sectional winner | In a national contest for boys and girls up to 16 years of age. A rec-, ord of a violin solo by Billy has 1 been made and sent to New York,; where it will be compared with entries from 23 other centers. The two best will be chosen, will receive $250 scholarship and a new t violin and will be heard over a | national radio hook-up. Naturally Henry is very proud of his grandson, who is still just a youngster 10 years old, and for whom much success is predicted. The boys father formerly worked for Chas. Sether here. - —*o Quasi-State Employes To Pay Federal Taxes Washington, Feb. 28 —(UP) —Tho supreme court today further clarified federal-state tax conflicts by holding that incomes of quasi-state employes are subject to federal income taxes. i The decision, presented in four separate cases involving quasi-state employes such as bank conservators., was expected to increase fed- , eral tax income only modestly. However, it had been sought by federal officials as an aid in solving overlapping state and federal tax immunity. o Rates For Benefit Payments Announced Washington.
