SENATE VOTE TODAY ON WEST IS PREDICTED Nomination Being Discussed With Great Secrecy in Executive Session. SENATE cAnalders West nomination in executive session. Interstate commerce committee contnues coal investigation. HOUSE In adjournment. BY PAUL" R. MALLON United Presa Stall Correspondent WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.—1n secrecy, more unusual even than of war times, the senate will meet again today to resume its controversy over the nomination of Roy O. West as secretary of the interior. The naval cruiser bill, the challenge of Secretary of Treasury Andrew J. Mellon’s authority over prohibition and all other matters were thrust into the background while the West matter is fought out. A vote of confirmation is expected before night if the opposition will permit the vote to be taken. In the first two and a half hours of debate late Friday the opposition was blocked at every time. Open Session Plea Fails First they demanded the nomination be considered in open session. They were defeated overwhelmingly. Next they sought to have the roll call on the first vote made public, and lost again. Aroused by these two rebukes they attempted to force reconsideration tthe earlier votes, but were unsuccessful even in that plea. The votes emphasized the majority which ■ West now controls and which will bring about his confirmation unless the opposition is able to change the situation unexpectedly. Usually senator strool out of the swinging doors and tell confidentially to their Mends at least the general facts which occur in executive session. However, warnings have been given senators that if they do not keep silent concerning the pending executive business they may be subjected to the archais rule which permits expulsion of a senator revealing executive business. Insist on Secrecy The rule was adopted to prevent military secrets and the like from being made public, but only one previous feeble attempt has been made to enforce it in the last fifteen years. Those handling West's fight are insisting on the secrecy application and other extraordinary methods of parliamentary procedure in order to bring a vote at the earliest possible moment and to prevent the opposition from stirring up any outside interests which might jeopardize the majority West: now has for confirmation. The investigation of West by the public lands committee was opened at West's request and the vote of nine to four by which his nomination w-as favorably reported also was made public. All other pending business in congress has gone over until next week. SCHOOL BONDING POWER TO DROP TO $750,000 New Issue Will Cut Limit, Walsman Announces, Bonding power of the school city will be reduced to $750,000 when bonds at present advertised are authorized. Albert F. Walsman, school business director, announced today. This amount probably will not be encroached on by other bond issues, but will remain as a reserve for temporary loans and other contingencies, he said. In fifty-two subitems of the school budget for the last six months of 1938. Walsman said, overdrafts occurred. A special six months budget was made by the schools last year in order to change from the fiscal to the calendar year. Had the apparent overdrafts occurred in a school year of twelve months, they would have been merged into expenditures of the whole and no overdraft would have appeared, he explained. ‘SOCKLEfS’ PEEVE GAY PASiS BOULEVARDIERS t *ev; Mode Concealing Pretty Ankles Not So Popular—With Men. Bui n it-li Prrs* _ . PARIS. Jan. 13.—The observant boulevardifrs of the French capital are very nuch disturbed. It seems that the erstwhile neat ankles of the Midinettes and of many fine and elegant ladies have suddenly been buried in the depths of short thick socks, worn over their stockings. Cold weather and wintry winds have deprived the case loungers of one of their innocent pastimes, and the reaction has set in among the newspapers. Some enterprising salesmen from Holland and Norway introduced these "socklets" to Paris. They were worn originally on the tennis court and at the seashore, without stockings. Stop That Cough Quick!

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

AID IS RUSHED TO CITY RAZED BY EARTHQUAKE Venezuelan Town of 12,000 Leveled by Shock; 200 Are Reported Dead. Bit Unit I’d Press CARACAS, Venezuela. Jan. 19. Government and Red Cross aid was dispatched today to Cumana, where 200 were reported killed, 1.000 injured, and thousands made homeless in an earthquake Thursday. General Jose Garbi, governor of the state of Sucre, of which Cumana is the capitail, asked the government to furnish relief. The entire city, the home of approximately 12,000 people, was leveled by the shocks, which lasted ten minutes. The first shock was light, and enabled people to flee into the streets, but a series of successive quakes followed which shook down their homes. Towns in the vicinity also were dispatching aid, while the government had offered free use of all transportation and telegraphic facilities for relatives to communicate with the victims. The steamer Jose Feliz Rivas left Friday night carrying supplies and relief equipment. The steamer Guarico had left earlier on the order of President Juan V. Gomez, who personally took charge of organizing relief. Damage to the city, founded 400 years ago, was estimated at $lO,000,000. The earthquake Thursday was the second in its history. It was destroyed first in 1853 when struck by a quake. COURTHOUSE WATER CAUSES HOT DEBATE Drinking Supplyl Basis for Heated Argument by Commissioners. County commissioners argued heatedly as to whose water, what kiibd of water and how cold the wafer should be to slake thirsty throats in the Marion county courthouse. Commissioner George Snider believes that the water being used by the rest of the citizens of Indianapolis is good enough, provided it is piped through special cooling tanks at each outlet. Commissioner John Serer disagrees with this and favors the present system of special water in bottles.. Hahns Claupsen, city maintenance superintendent, gave the original suggestion that the water in the private well at the county jail fills the need. Another suggestion in the manysided debate was to pipe in city water and cool it in a centrally located electric refrigerator.

CITY PERSONNEL BOARD TALKEB Hint Slack Omits Civil Service Provision. Rules for the establishment of a personnel department to aid city officials in sr! acting new employes were considered today by the city cabinet. Mayor L. Urt Slack personally “worked over” the regulations for civil service in all departments which was submitted by a committee appointed several months ago when city council unanimously demanded re-establishment of a merit system for all city departments. Slack's plan for a personnel department differs from the original proposal of council in that Slack is understood to have omitted provision for civil service supervision of promotions and demotions. The The examinations will be given to applicants by a board of three to be named by the mayor and an elegibility list established for the various departments. “Such a plan will be a great deal of help to the city boards in choosing new employes. But I would not l)ave any more confidence in a personnel board than I have in the safety board for instance,” Slack said. t The mayor prans to give boards and department heads a “free hand” in recommending appointments and promotions. Fathered by John F. White, councilman, who formerly served as a police civil service commissioner under the Duvall administration, council adopted a resolution demanding that the mayor establish a civil service system, particularly in the police and fire departments. The Chamber of Commerce and civic organizations have indorsed the merit plan. paroles_jevoKed Leslie Cancels Jackson Orders for Two. Homer Dasey, Indianapolis, and Edwin L. Bunch, Kokomo, who won last minute executive clemency from Governor Ed Jackson, before he retired, without approval of the Indiana state prison trustees, had their paroles cancelled Friday by Gov ?;- nor Harry G. Leslie. Clerical errors in the Jackson orders gave Leslie the opportunity to carry out his policy of no clemency for felons. Dasey was sentenced to from ten to twenty-five years for a bank robbery near Greenfield in 1923. J ickson commuted sentence to from five to twenty-five years. Jackson granted a parole to Bunch, who was sentenced to from ten to twenty-one years for robbery in Howard county. Both orders were issued on Sunday. the day before Jackson retired

Bumps, Bills Phrenologists are passing up the "bumpiest” field in the nation if Indianapolis hairdressers are to be believed. So when Friend HUsband comes home and in the fashion of a saddist “howls” at your hairdressing bill just lay it on to the “bumps.” For marcellers aver that “la femme” of this city have little flesh-mounds on their heads and neck that worry the best pair of scissors or clippers. “I’ve given three permanents today and each one had a guinea egg on their skulls. It beats me—but you can believe me those bumps are added to the bill.” averred one hairdresser.

SEEK PAROLE LAW Reduction of Prison Citizenry Sought by Ack Decrease of the prison population of Indiana will be sought in the measure to be presented by Senator C. Oliver Holmes of Gary next week, creating a permanent state probation commission with jurisdiction over adult and juvenile cases. This bill will repeal the law now in force providing for an advisory probation commission and a state probation officer named by the Governor, which in turn would select the probation officer and assistants. “Constant supervision will lessen the number of broken paroles and probations,” Holmes said. VETERAN FREED THIRD TIME FOR DRUNKENNESS Pleads to Be Allowed to Visit Mother in Nabbs, Ind. “Judge, my mother is 82 years old down there in Nabbs, Ind., and all alone, I want to see her.” With this plaintive plea Otis Owens, 38, World war veteran, charged with drunkenness, ■ won “another chance” from Municipal Judge Clifton R. Cameron. Ten days ago Judge Cameron started trying to get Owens to stop drinking. Today makes Owens' third appearance to answer as many different charges of drunkeness since then. The first time Cameron “sentenced" Owens to attend church every Sunday for six months. The second time he put him in charge of the Salvation Army. “I’ll give you one more chance, go to your mother, but if you stay around here and are arrested again you will go to the state farm,” said Cameron today.

TALK FAG TAX TO AIBSGHpOLS Propose Act to Wipe Out State Deficit. Cancel the state school aid deficit of nearly $1,000,000 by levying a 2-cent cigaret tax and appoint a survey committee to study scientific administration of state aid funds. This is the recommenation approved by the state educational committee for presentation to the legislature. The general committee, composed of all agencies interested in education and members of the state education board, met today in the office of Roy P. Wisehart, superintendent of public instruction. They received and approved a report of a special committee on state aid which met Tuesday. Point Ofit ‘Moral’ This report points out that there is a “moral” rather than “legal” obligation to meet the state aid deficit of $966,239.55. If it isn’t done, many schools will close, it is asserted. The cigaret tax levy is then proposed, with an alternative of taking 60 rather than the present 30 per cent of the 7-cent school tax for state aid. This latter proposal was turned down by the general committee and the cigaret sales tax approved. May Keep Levy It would be retained after the deficit is met and added to the 30 per cent of the 7-cent levy to prevent j ecurrent losses under the plan approved today. The legislative recommendations estimate $3,000 as adequate for administration of funds, but asks $15,000 to finance field men to check school corporations’ state aid demands. It asks for a committee appointed by the Governor and properly financed to make a thorough study of state aid problems and to report to the legislature in 1931. CLEAN UP CAPITOL Governor to Pay Out of Emergency Fund If Necessary. Although James M. Ogden, attor-ney-general, has ruled that the legislature may not spend money for furniture and special cleaning of their chambers, the work is under way, with the assurance of Governor Harry G. Leslie that it will be paid for, if necessary, out of his emergency fund.

I. U. SCIENTIST OFF FOR STUDY OF SUNECLIPSE Large Photo of Corona to Be Made by 1. U. Man in Philippines. Bn Times Special BLOOMINGTON. Ind., Jan. 19 Obtaining of large scale photographs of the corona of the sun at the time of the total eclipse on May 9 will *be the main object of the United States Naval Observatory eclipse expedition on which, Professor W. A. Cogshall, Head of the Indiana university department of astronomy, will sail next week. He left Bloomington for San Francisco Friday. He will sail from there on the naval transport. Chaumont. A specially constructed camera, sixty feet long, will be set up by Professor Cogshall’s party on one of the southern islands of the Philippine group about 700 miles south of Manila, in the neighborhood of Iloilo City. Eclipse to Last 3 Minutes At this point the eclipse will last, approximately three and a half minutes, a comparatively long duration, according to Professor Cogshall. Prof John A. Miller, head of the astronomy department of Swarthmore college, and a former Indiana university faculty member, will protograph the corona of the sun in Sumatra at the same time. The .duration of the eclipse there will be approximately five minutes and will occur two hours later than at the location selected by Prof. Cogshall and his party. The two hours lapsing in time between the taking of the two sets of photographs will disclose the changes in the corona which will be evident if the corona proves to be a rotating substance. Problem Is Not New This problem is not new to the corona experts who will endeavor to do this work in May. Prof. Cogshall’s first trip of this kind was in 1905. wlu.n he went to central Spain. In 1918, Prof. Miller headed an eclipse expedition, which made valuable observations at Brendon, Col. Prof. Cogshall also was a member of 1918 expedition. Prof. Cogshall and Prof. Miller both were members of the expedition in 1923 to Mexico for the same purppse. BAN Off SCHOOL HEAOS HIRING KIN PROPOSED Bill Would Halt Nepotism by County Superintendents. A hslt to nepotism as practiced by county school superintendents will be effected through the bill introduced by Representative Fabius Gwin of Shoals. It has been the custom in the past, Gwin said, of county superintendents hiring mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers for a certain period of days each year as special assistants and the assistant does nothing but draw his or her pay and turn it over to the superintendent. Under the Gwin bill county superintendents will be forbidden to hire relatives who are second cousins or closer. It also makes the (turning back of salaries to the county superintendent a misdemeanor punishable by SSO fine or 30 days imprisonment.
