BUDGET SLASH FORECAST FOR STATEMADS Millions Less to Spend Is Bleak Prospect for Highway Boari. LEGISLATURE TO ACT Director Brown and Aids Also Likely to Face Expense Quiz. BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY Indiana’s state highway commission may have its revenues decreased by one-third in the 1931 legislative session, it was predicted today, besides facing a legislative investigation of overexpenditure and possible reorganization on a fulltime commission basis. This prediction was not made by the Democrats, but by State Senator Alonzo H. Lindley, powerful farm bloc Republican leader from Kingman. “I am not in favor of cutting state highway revenues, but I know that this legislature will have to do it to relieve some of this local tax burden.” Lindley told The Times. “While the highway department now gets 3 of the 4 cents gasoline tax and the cities, counties and towns the other cent, it will be necessary to put the split on a 50-50 basis. Our local tax units must have that other cent to reduce rates.” Favors Income The senator, in the city to attend the state aid school commission meeting Monday, stated that he will favor both sales and income tax to relieve the property burden. Governor Harry G. Leslie, who personally dictated the appointment of John J. Brown as state highway director, will oppose a cut in the department revenues most vigorously, he announced. Such bill would have to be passed over his veto. “I am against decreasing the highway department revenues by taking away this additional cent,” he asserted some time ago, in defending Brown and the commissioners from criticism regarding their putting the state into debt $1,650,000. Puts State in Debt Indiana’s Constitution forbids the state going into debt, but the highway department borrowed this sum at 2 per cent from the cities, counties and towns’ share of the gas tax revenue, due March 1. At that time the Governor declared he would welcome an investigation of the highway department, as he is “proud of its splendid record.” He denied a report that Brown might ’resign before the session meets, to keep from embarrassing the administration. Would Mean Huge Cut This embarrassment might be brought about by legislative inquiry as to how the department, with some $22,000,000 to spend, went into the red with Brown at the helm. Should a cent be sliced from its revenues, it would mean a budget cut of more than $3,000,000. According to reports from the secretary of the American Association of State Highway Officials, now meeting in Pitssburgh, Indiana has more paved and hard surface highdays than any other state in the Union. irvingtoTgToTpTs DRY BY 2-1 EDGE Eighteen Members* Attend Weekly Meeting; Hogston Is Speaker.

LAWMAKER TO ASK ‘FAG’ TAX TO BUY BOOKS Levy on Cigarets, Tobacco and Malt Advocated to Raise School Fund. BLACK TO BACK MOVE Anderson Legislator Also Will Work for Old Age Pension. Tax on cigarets, tobacco and malt will be proposed by William J. Black of Anderson (Dem., Madison), to finance free textbooks for public school pupils of the state when the legislature convenes in January, Black declared today. “I was elected on a platform calling for free textbooks and an old age pension, and I’m going to stick to my promise when I get here,” said Black, who was Anderson’s mayor from 1918 to 1922 and Madison county sheriff for four years before that. Black estimated $2,000,000 would be required for the free textbooks the first year the plan is placed in operation, but that the amount required annually thereafter would be considerably less. His direct taxes on cigarets, tobacco and malt would be only enough to finance the free books, Black asserted. Chief objection to free textbooks has been on the ground that the general property levy should not be raised to provide them, he said.

The incident as reported by the Washington News occurred Monday during the tea hour at the home of Representative and Mrs. Sol Bloom of New York. Pennaroli had been taken for an inspection of kitchen decorations and the chef, Vincenzo, was introduced to him as an Italian whose cooking had earned many tributes.

The military attache, unarmed left precipitously and was pursued to the room where Mrs. Bloom was entertaining. The hostess calmed the assembly and ordered Vincenzo back to his kitchen.

CITY OFFICIALS STAGE BATTLE OVERAIRPORT Superintendent’s Report Is Cause of Wrangle in Back Room Session. HELD ‘UNSUBSTANTIAL' Henry Declares Council Is Being Kept in Ignorance of What’s Going On. First lightning flashes in the long brewing storm among city officials in charge of construction and operation of the new $700,000 municipal airport, south of Ben Davis, came Monday night in a back-room session of the city council. Scheduled for completion in July, delays have brought a series of altercations and now airport construction is in the hands of the Commonwealth Casualty Company and is being finished under the direction of this firm and Louis Brandt, works board member. The work Is being rushed for completion by Dec. 1, as Transcontinental and Western Air, Inc., officials ar e demanding use of the field by that date. The opening bolt in the discussion, which -resulted in insinuations - being cast generally among several council members, came from George A. Henry, father of the recent resolution requiring a monthly report on airport activities by Paul H. Moore, superintendent. Second “Not Substantiated” Henry declared he found the first report submitted to the council satisfactory, but that the second was not “a substantial statement of activities.” He said he was at loss to know what has been done at the airport for the last month, and had to admit his ignorance of these matters when asked about them by officials and individuals. From notes in his hand, Henry, directing his questions at Moore, asked what had been done about the airport well. “It’s polluted,” Moore said. The Times six weeks ago revealed that city health board tests showed the well was polluted. Moore then recited from a statement written by James Hensley, well contractor, in which the latter said the well had been driven 513 feet, but the water was coming from a depth of 157 feet, through a screen in the line. ‘Not in His Hands’ Under questioning by Henry, Moore. admitted he did not make personal investigation of the depth and said the matter was not in his hands. Henry charged he had been on the field during the well driving and had not found any one in charge of the job or any inspectors there. Moore, said two inspectors had been employed and were now retained to do odd jobs at the field. “I don’t believe we should pay out money for a well that shows polluted water,” Henry said. “I’m here to find out what is going on. What’s going to be done?” After long discussion of the well problem, Moore explained the water tests he had obtained and declared another test will be made soon after temporary pumps are placed on the well. Asks About Operations Henry then asked about operations at the field, equipment for plane service and declared he was net aware of the status of the Transcontinental and Western Air, Inc., contract or gasoline contracts. He turned to Charles E. Cox, assistant superintendent, and asked him for a report on the service equipment and whether he had been preparing a set of field regulations. Cox replied that these matters had been turned over to the works board. “And how about pay?” Henry asked. “Our budget provides for art aii-port superintendent, assistant superintendent and stenographer. Is there money to pay a publicity man?” H. Gene Haynes, former newspaper man, is the airport publicity man. Francis Coleman, deputy controller, told Henry there is no provision to pay Haynes next year and now he is being paid out of bond funds. Asks for Explanation Leo Welch, member of the airport committee, then interrupted Henry with: “What’s behind these questions, George?” “I want to know what’s going on,’’ Henry answered. “Oh, I see,” Welch replied. “Now, Moore,” Welch said. “You said the water is polluted. A test is going to be made, isn’t it. Why not say so? I don’t understand such loose statements on your part.
a woman, police said, and visited the engraver. Levine then was arrested and separated from hi3 woman companion. Police said that Levine vehemently denied the charges against him. Newspaper men were not allowed to see him Monday night. Levine was decorated with the highest Austrian golden order for his participation in the trans-At-lantic flight of the monoplane Columbia. Levine claimed that he is the victim of a plot to defame him. He visited an engraver to place an order for roulette counters, or chips, which he wished to use in anew casino in France, police quoted him as saying. w
