DODGERS AND GIANTS IN SHOWDOWN GAME

Legislature To Recess, Delays Welfare Action Senate Is Recessed For Week, House To Recess Five Days Indianapolis, Oct. 3 — (UP)' — The Indiana senate recessed for a full week today and the, house planned to quit for five days, having the {controversial public welfare issue unsettled and postponing a~ major showdown’iat. least until late next week. - '■? The press of personal business among lawmakers — both Democratic and Republican—who hadn ; t counted on a special session being called, was given as a big factor in the delay. Another was that the A two houses are at odds, over a means of ironing out the welfare proln Jem and no solution is in sight. The senate adjourned until 1 p. m. Wednesday after getting house approval needed to recess longer than three days. The house 'adopted the senate resolution after amending it to give the .house permission to recess Friday and come back when the senators do. Before (he house adjourned until tomorrow, a bill was introduced to delay solution of the welfare problem by postponing the' effectiveness of the “anti-secrecy” Jaw until pext June and to let the public, “decide”. the issue at a referendum. Rep. Edward C. Macer. R.. Evansville, Introduced a bill suggesting -a referendum at the 1952 May primary, meanwhile keeping welfare rolls secret hntil June 1., 1952. ■ T ! ' * That was a variation of a billto postpone the law until 1953. which passed the senate yesterday by a Democratic minor-ity-Republican “rebel” coalition. *’ Macer’s referendum would not bind the legislature to obey the dictates of the voters. It would only guide the state in solving its dilemma, caused when federal se-, curity administrator Oscar Ewing withheld $20,000,000 a year in U. S. welfare support because the: legislature enacted the law opening welfare rolls for public in-: spection. / I Shortly afterward, Zhe house majority sought to suspend rules ,and bring up for final reading a hill to abolish the state welfare ("board—one of the “home rule” riieasurea. House members voted - 01 to 27 to suspend, but needed a --two-thirds majority of 67. Eight Republicans and three Democrats were absent when the vote was taken. Rep. Earl Utterback, D., Kokomo, sought to amend the bill on second reading by eliminating the emergency clause. But -the 1 motion was tabled by voice vote. Senate president pro tern John jw. Van Ness, it, Valparaiso, ahd .minority leader Leo J. Stemle, D., Jasper, signed a resolution calling for recess until 1 p. m. next Wednesday, Oct. 0 10, and members of both parties in the closely-divided senate agreed that was the thing to do. " , .

Boyle, Jr., paid *an RFC official $1,261 and deducted it from his income tax in 1949 after becoming Democratic national chairman. Nixon said the money waA paid to H. Turney Gratz, who becape an assistant to Boyle at Democratic headquarters in 1950 but was a $10,300-aryear official in the RFC rubber division during 1949. Nixon made his charge in a statement to the senate investigating Subcommittee looking into Boyle’s connection with the .American Lithofold Corp., a St. Louis printing firm which got $545,000 in RFC loans. Boyle represented the firm before he became a paid party official. Nixon demanded that the subcommittee call Grat* to testify. Chairman Clyde R. Hoey, D., N.C., said he has asked the committee staff to investigate and that a decision on calling Gratz will be made later. ! Nixon said his statement was based on an examination of Boyle’s bank accounts and income tax returns. He made the charge after the committee heard Janet Boone, pretty, 2G-year-old St. Louis stenographer, testify that she was told by a superior at Lithofold to keep \a ledger sheet showing Boyle’s account with the firm turned face down so office workers could pot see Miss Boone, a trim, sofhspoken woman with hazel eyes and brown haid, also said she continued to\ make out “commission statements” in Boyle’s name |ifter he stopped working for Lithofold but did not know whether they were ever mailed. 1 A Given Authority To Halt Corruption Internal Revenue Head In Testimony Washington, Oct. 3 — (UP) — Internal revenue commissioner John B. Dunlap said today president Truman has given him complete authority to eliminate corruption in his $50,000,000,000 a year tax collection agency.

Dunlap testified before a house ways* artff' mealis subcommittee which is, investigating the cases of St. Louis, Boston, and San Francisco tax collectors who have recently been dismissed from office'or who have quit under firp. The commissioner blamed the outside business activities of these collectors for the trouble in their offices. One of the collectors — Denis W. Delaney in Boston r- is under. indictment on charges Os accepting monef from outsiuers tb influence his official decisions. Dunlap, a career employe and former collector at Dallas, became revenue commissioner last Aug. l r He succeeded George J. Schoeneman, who resigned for reasons of health at a time when the bureau was being widely criticized. He said some of the non-carfeer collectors have excellent Records. But the only charges of corruption so far made against the bureau have been made against the non-career collectors, he said. The commissioner! said* the revenue bureau collects about S2O for every dollar put into enforcement of the tax laws. Rut despite this, he added, congress has refused to authorize sufficient manpower to comb tax - returns more thoroughly. t I
