CITY MANAGER PLAN DERATED AT BAR DINNER Charles Taft of Cincinnati Upholds Proposed System. The country is looking to Indiana and its legislature to lake no backward step by repealing the Indiana city manager statute, declared Charles P. Taft TI of Cincinnati, before the Indianapolis Bar Association and City Manager League dinner Wednesday night at the Claypool. Taft, and former Mayor Charles W. Jewett, debated the city manager and federal forms. Jewett defending the present federal system of municipal government. About 200 persons, including several legislators, attended. ‘The city manager form of government is a step to strengthen the economic and democratic management of municipal affairs by the majority and destroys machine politics.” Taft said. Taft is the son of William Howard Taft, chief justice of the United States supreme court. •'Old System Has Failed” ‘‘T le old system has had 140 years to solve the problems of municipal administration and prove its efficiency in producing a more democratic, efficient, and honest city government, - ’ declared the Cincinnati attorney. “Generally speaking our city governments have fallen down in the administration of public welfare and .lustice. In a machine-conJtrOlled city only a small group of contraciois gets jobs. And God help any other contractor from getting a contact by chance because if he does he’ll lose his shirt,” he said. Taft deplored the practice of machine politicians who “burn everything in the ballot box and write their own ticket.” “And the worst thing is that we stand for it. Machine-controlled politics registers dead folks and horses. You never can find some of the persons registered. Such tilings as this caused sentiment which produced the city manager plan. Cincinnati Held Example “Cincinnati is demonstrating in a way that has attracted nationwide attention that a city can govern itself democratically and economically,” Taft concluded. \ Proportional representation and [an active citizenship are needed for ja successful operation of the manager plan, he pointed wt. l Jewett questioned ths constitutionality of the manager plan. I “The ambition of every wideawake American city should be to have a practical, simplified plan of government based on correct fundamental principles in harmony with the American idea of free government,” Jewett said. "All agree that under any practical plan the success or failure of government depends upon the quality of men who operate it. "The argument for expert ability and efficiency is not confined to advocates of the manager plan, but is shared by all who sincerely desire Indianapolis to have a government capable of leading the way to growth' and advancement. “The experience of some cities

The commission and city manager plan where adopted have succeeded the ‘weak mayor’ type of the federal plan. With the exception of Cleveland and Cincinnati the ‘strong mayor’ type never has been replaced. “I am convinced we can preserve right principles and at the same time secure for the people of this city evep greater efficiency in the management of public affairs than can be had under the city manager system or any other commission form of municipal government,” Jewett said.

LEAK HOLDS UP SAFETY TESTS IN DEATH SUB Stop Experiments After Crew Escapes From Depth of 75 Feet. Bt Radio to tbe United Press ON BOARD THE U. S. S. MALLARD, Feb. 7.—The Submarine S-4. again disabled, today is being towed to Key West for repairs. A slight leak in her periscope late Thursday forced the United States navy to discontinue tests of the mask-like invention of Lieutenant C. B. Momsen, designed to permit the escape of men from a - submerged and disabled submarine. Tests were being conducted off Key West in various depths of water. Successful escapes w’ere made by Momsen and Chief Torpedomen Edward Kolinowski in depths of forty feet and seventyfive feet. The submarine, which has been equipped with an “escape” chamber, after the test at seventy-six feet, was brought to the surface and towed to water 125 feet deep. She was submerged and preparation made to try the escape again. Men on duty in the control room of the submarine noticed the leak in the periscope and the hulk immediately was brought to the surface and tests discontinued for the time being. The navy plans to continue as soon as repairs can be made to the S-4. The tests so far have proven entirely successful, according to Commander P. H. Dunbar, and it is believed much of the danger attached to submarine sendee will be eliminated. It is significant that the tests are being conducted from an undersea ship in which forty men lost their lives about a year ago when the steamer City of Rome sank the S-4.

SENATE HALTS SALE OF LINERS BY SHIPBOARD Full Investigation Will Be Made of $16,082,000 Offer by Firm. BY JOSEPH H. BAIRD, Vnited Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Feb. 7. The United States senate for the second time has blocked sale of the United States and American merchant lines by the United States shipping board. The senate's action was taken late Wednesday afternoon when a resolution of Senator McKellar (Dem.. Tenn.), to stop sale of the line and investigate all bids, was passed. Similar action was taken several years ago when the board prepared to sell these ships. Favorable action by the board oh the $16,082,000 bid of P. W. Chapman & Cos., Inc., New York, confidently had been expected today. For several days past, the J. H. Winchester Company and Gibbs Brothers, highest rival bidders, had worked ■ feverishly to block acceptance 'of the Chapman bid. Early this week representatives of the two firms appeared before the board, presumably to urge acceptance of their bid. “Personally I do not object,” ViceChairman Plumber of the shipping board said when told of the senate’s action. “This is an important matter and whatever is done should be done after due consideration,” he said. The Chapman offer was characterized in the senate by Chairman Jones of the senate commerce committee as “the highest bid the government will everget for the ships.” Shipping board officials, too, had

expressed 'satisfaction with the chapman offer. The senate’s action will probably delay long if not effectively block sale of the lines to the Chapman company, which had offered to build tw'o new ships to cost $25,000.000 each, to be operated in connection with the fleet of eleven which they planned to buy from the government. The two lines include the Leviathan, Republic. America. President Harding, President Roosevelt and
