DEMAND BRINGS FIGURES FROM ' HIGHWAY CHIEF Williams Sends Bundle of Data on Expenses to House Members. Twenty - seven ledger pages, . crammed with figures, was the answer returned today to request of the Indiana house of representatives for enlightenment on state highway department expenditures. Less than an hour after the house approved the resolution introduced by Representative George W. Freeman of Kokomo, asking the information, John D. William, highway director, had dispatched a bundle of data to the house. In it was the financial detailing expenditures of $16,543,882 in the fiscal vear ended Sept. 30, 1928, as published when the statement accompanied Williams’ request to the budget committee for $40,000,000 for the next two years. Appended, was the voluminous biennial report for the two-year period ended Sept. 30, 1927. From the sheaf of ledger papers, Ynembers of the house hope to satisfy their curiosity regarding the 3.71 per cent overhead expenses to which the highway department was put to last year and which, Williams was declared, would not be increased in spending an added $5,000,000 a year. "If the highway department is operated economically, as it proba- j bly is, it certainly would not hurt , to have this Information placed on our desks. I’ll not favor increases until I’m convinced the money is being spent judiciously,” said Freeman. . Albert Snyder, principal clerk of the house, slipped out a half hour later, carrying a copy of the resolution to the highway director’s office, where a closed-door policy on commission sessions has rankled public, press and legislators. Anticipating the resolution, William dismissed two callers, welcomed Snyder and a newspaper .man, and said his reply would be ready in five minutes. He stepped out to a stenographer and in two minutes was back with a letter to Speaker James J. Knapp and the bundle >f figures. “Agreeable to resolution of the house of representatives of the Indiana legislature, passed on Feb. 1, 1929, Williams’ letter ran, “I am pleased to inclose the information requested, which I believe is in the form desired.” The figures almost went to the printer unexamined. Then it oc-

THE INDIAN A POLIS TIMES

WAR BALLYHOO TO SPEED NAVY BOOSTBLASTED Democrat Comes Out for Coolidge Limitation Program. ‘ BY PAUL R. MALLON United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Feb. I.—The recent series of strong national defense speeches by champions of national defense was broken today when Senator Pat Harrison, a Wilsonian Democrat, took the senate floor to argue in favor of President Coolidge naval limitation plan. Harrison decried the war thunder which he said lately has been sounded by Senators Reed of Missouri and Johnson of California. He termed the Coolidge plan to eliminate the “rush order provisions” for the new cruisers “prudent, wise and sound.” He said many Democrats thought the way he did and would vote with the President. This one of the few

issues upon which Harrison has supported the administration. The speech had a strong political tone, but it was accepted as the rejoinder of part of the last President Wilson’s supporters to all the war talk and demands for a big navy which recently have crowded the peace advocates out of the naval bill debate. Harris does not have the encouragement of all the Wilson supporters, as is evidenced by the announcement by Senator Swanson of Virginia that he would oppose elmination of the time limit provision for building five cruisers a year the next three years. “Republicans who favor such a procedure show lack of faith in President-Elect Hoover,” Harrison asserted. “This time limitation is unprecedented. It is a violation of custom, practice and wisdom. Never before have we passed a bill requiring immediate construction of the ships authorized.” Harrison ridiculed the implication ’in speeches by Reed and Johnson that another war is imminent. “We should put off actual building until a conference has been held to recodify maritime law stating the rights of neutrals and belligerents in time of war,” he said. “Os course this bill in its present form will help shipbuilders in Newport News, Norfolk, and San

I am glad there are no ship yards in my state or I probably would be getting the same kind of mail.” Chairman Hale of the naval affairs committee protested that consideration for Shipbuilders would not influence any senator.
