INSANITY PLEA BY SCHROEDER DELAYS TRIAL Stark to Leave Torch Car Case Prosecution to His Successor. Momentary deadlock in prosecution of Harold Herbert Schroeder, Mobile YAla.) garage owner, as the alleged slayer of an unidentified man in the High School road torch car mystery loomed today. Prosecutor Judson L. Stark declared the state will not hold an inquest into Schroeder's sanity. Apparently blocking Thursday’s move by Ira M. Holmes, defense attorney, in which Schroeder pleaded insanity. Stark stated he will not proceed to bring the Alabaman to trial. Under this circumstance, Schroeder's prosecution will be left to Herbert Wilson, Democratic prose-cutor-elect. Stark said it would be unreasonable to try the case during the Christmas season. Stark said the insanity answer to the first degree murder indictment, filed Thursday by Holmes wit’ Criminal Judge James A. Collins, was responsible for delay of the trial, which was set for Tuesday. Next steps, according to Stark, will be the fixing of a trial date, trial of the case, after which a sanity commission would be appointed by the court in event Schroeder was found guilty, but insane, at the time of the alleged crime. .The commission would report its finding, and Schroeder would be sentenced to life imprisonment or would be confined in the insane colony.

NAME OF GIESEKING' TO BE REMEMBERED: Pianist New to This City Receives a Wonderful Reception on First Public Concert Appearance. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN THE name o.i Walter Gieseking will be remembered in this city for many rpoons to come. In my experience of telling you about pianists, never have I seen an audience take to heart an artist new on the piano to this city as it did last night at English's. I am glad that Mrs. Nancy Martens is bringing artists new to this city. Have always maintained that many artists who have large audiences in New York and in Europe would get great receptions in Indianapolis if we just had a chance to hear them.

| Gieseking received one of the largest ovations that has been given an artist here in several years. His | success was so pronounced last night that I am assured that Mrs. Martens will bring him back ir a major Sunday afternoon concert j'next season. Although the theater was not sold out, the audience was of gratifying size, which proves that we do want to hear artists new to this city. Gieseking to me plays one of the most gorgeous light pianos that I ever have heard. In the delicate charm oi “Three Intermezzi,’’ by Brahms, we experienced ibe gigigantic delicacy of this man. The way he developed the charm of Marx, Debussy, Ravel and Scriabine in the last group resulted in the biggest ovation of the evening and resulted in encore after encore. I am glad that he developed the program the way he did. He started with Bach, intelligently and skilfully done. Then into Beethoven which every program seems to demand. There were some surprises in the way he played “Sonata C jninor Op. Ill,” but he was always the master. He reminded me at times as a sij lent De Pachmann because he Had I some of the silent mannerisms of that great man. Gieseking seems to

wave a physical expersion ..round himself for every theme. Gieseking’s triumph last night was complete and assures himself a great welcome when he may return for a concert. I put him in that class of the very few—these pianists that I really like to hear. *> non CHURCH CHOIR TO SING TONIGHT The chorus choir of the First Presbyterian church, under the direction of Henry Clauder Pfohl, will present a program of saenjd music at 8:15 tonight in the First Moravian church, Twenty-second street and Broadway.

EXPECT 6,0, P, TO BACK ACE PENSION BILL Nejdl Says Governor Leslie Is Likely to Favor Move This Year. Republican senators will support Democratic members of the house of representatives in an old age pension bill, Republican State Senator James J. Nejdl, candidate for president pro tem. of the senate, stated today. Nejdl has been a pioneer in old age pension legislation. He introduced such a measure in the 1929 legislature. That bill made the pension plan optional with counties, but the bill this time, as sponsored by the Eagles lodge, will make pensions mandatory. “This is a good year for social legislation,” Nedjl told The Times today* “The unemployment has directed attention of every citizen to the need for remedial measures. But I will advocate an old age pension bill on the grounds of economy, which is the usual argument against it. There will be no

sob stuff and sentiment mixed with the proposal. “I am prepared to show that in one Indiana county today there are twenty-one poor farm attendants caring for twenty-two indigent inmates.” Nejdl does not contend that an old age pension bill will solve all economic problems connected with old age. He feels that there will always be some aged poor people who are ill and will have to be instutionalized, but that four or five

hospitals can care for them at a great saving to the present plan, where each county cares for its own. Governor Harry G. Leslie, ho in the past has opposed old age pension legislation, is apt to recommend it this time in his legislative message, Nejdl declared.
