PAT PAGE DECLARES HE’S STILL COACH AT INDIANA U.

$16,500 PAY IS DUE HIM iSAYS GRID MENTOR No Notice Given Him That Resignation Is Accepted, He Asserts. MUM ON LEGAL ACTION Photostatic Copies Shown Give Weight to His Contentions. - BY DICK MILLER Pat Page still is football coach at -Indiana university, newspaper dories naming his successor to the contrary, he said on arrival here today, contending he had not been notified that he no longer was coach at the state school. Although out of a meeting of the faculty athletic board of control Saturday leaked the information that E. C. Hayes, track mentor, has accepted Page’6 post, Page said he had not heard that his resignation and its terms had been accepted. He remained at his home Sunday awaiting notification of acceptance of terms he made to the board to pay him $16,500 he claims would be due him on unexpired contract from Jan. I,* 1931, until April 1, 1932. Reticent on Suit Asked whether he would sue to obtain that sum if the university accepted only his resignation and named another coach in his place, ■page was reluctant to express plans, more than to say he hoped the matter would be settled quietly. When he was about to depart for (the east, Dec. 27, Page declared he received, by registered mail, a communication from Dr. W. J. Moenkhaus, chairman of the faculty board, stating that it was the unanimous .judgment of the committee that it would be unwise for the mentor to continue as coach. Canvass of the board revealed to him that the ‘‘unanimous decision” really was a compromise. Page said today. However, early this month lie replied to Dr. Moenkhous’ letter, addressing his resignation under terms of a meeting of a committee of the university board of trustees, comprised of B. F. Long, Ora L. Wildermbth and C. M. Niezer, June 7. 1929. Retention Was Recommended According to photostatic copy of the minutes of that session, the committee reported recommendation that Page be retained for the year ended April 1, 1930. at an annual salary of $12,500. It also was recommended that, in view of the three-year contract Page held with the athletic board of control, the board should assure Page'continued employment for two additional years, with a salary increase of SSOO each year, except in case of incapacity. The recommendation was approved by the trustees, according to John W. Cravens, secretary. Under those terms. Page tendered his resignation, with an additional paragraph agreeing that if investigation of his action by the intercollegiate conference should unearth any disapproval of action by the faculty board of trustees, Page should be exonerated.

Too Much! Movie Bar Ons 'Swear Off’ Paying Vast Sums for Broadway Successes.

BY DUANE HENNESSY United Press Staff Correspondent Hollywood, Jan. 26.—The gentlemen who hold the strings#to the movie studio pocketbooks have been paying a prettypenny for the biggest New York stage hits, but they are becoming a trifle wary of high prices now-adays. Even Howard Hughes, the young multimillionaire producer, who can hardly be trusted within earshot of a Broadway success, insists he is through paying big prices. As for musical shows, it would be pretty difficult to pay a studio to take one as a gift, now that the powers that be have decided that the public doesn’t want anything except pictures with good, sturdy plots. ana PURCHASING a Broadway play or musical show isn’t so easy as it seems. When Samuel Goldwyn acquired “Shoppee” from Florenz Ziegfeld he took Ziegfeld’s services and a flock of Ziegfeld chorus girls, too. .Then there are silent rights and talkie rights to add costly confusion to the situation. Only recently Joseph R. Schenck at United Artists wrote a check for SIIO,OOO for “The Greeks Had a Word for It,” Joe Atkins’ amusing comedy. Schenck’s wife, Norma Talmadge, has been cast for, the starring role on the screen. It is reported Schenck paid a similar price for “Sons o’ Guns,” for A1 Jolson. But musicals are shaky ventures in pictures these days, and while the story Is listed in the “preparing” column for A1 Jolson, it never may be produced. ana HUGHES paid $125,000 for “The Front Page,” a raucous story of new-spaper reporters, w-hich is-in production. He was reported to have paid $75,000 two years ago for “The Racket,” one of the first gahgster pictures in the current series. Mary Pickford paid $125,000 for “Coquette,” but from the studio comes word that it was worth it. Tiffany paid something like SBO.000 for “Journey’s End,” the English war picture by R. C. Sheriff. Highest of all was the $225,000 paid by Carl Laemille Jr. for “Broadway,” in a furious' bidding contest. He paid an additional $35,000 for dialogue rights. And “Broadway” was one of the biggest flops of the year. Universal waited too long before starting, practically every other studio putting out a similar production before the costly story reached the public. “We're through paying big prices,” shout the film producers, but just wait until a big Broadway hit comes along.

INDIANA FACES LOSS OF GUARD AIR SQUADRON $150,000 Needed to Avert Transfer to Kentucky, Officers Say. Bearing documents from MajorGeneral William G. Everson, chief of United States militia, citing ‘‘much-needed improvements for the Thirty-eighty, division aviation,” officers of the One hundred thirteenth observation squadron, Indiana national guard, sought favorable action on a $150,000 appropriation bill from the house ways and means committee today. 'Major-General Everson, in a letter to Major Richard F. Taylor, commanding officer of the squadron, headquarters of which are at Stout field, Mars. Hill, , outlined the improvemejfts needed by the unit. Chief among them is a modem, heated hangar and space to store $750,000 in government equipment allotted to the squadron. If the legislature refuses the appropriation, the squadron may be transferred from Indiana to Kentucky, where Louisville business men have pledged $150,000 for construction of proptr hangars for a national air unit, Major Taylor said today. • Would Mean Unit Loss If such transfer were made it would preclude any future allocation oi another unit in this state, since but one air squadron is allotted to each national guard division, and Kentucky, West Virginia and Indiana comprise the Thirty-eighth division or militia. The appropriation is requested in a bill introduced by Representative Gerrit M. Bates (Dem., Marion). Os the total, $125,000 would be expended for construction of the hangar, and for remodeling of present hangars, and $25,000 would be for maintenance of the unit. Rated by the war deartment last year as the highest ranking national guard air unit, the One hundred thirteenth squadron in that period flew 4307 hours, 900 hours more than any squadron had flowm in one years previously, Major Taylor said. Three weeks’ flying was spent in southern Indiana early in 1930 on flood relief. Upkeep Is Costly "As you often have heard me say, our air corps is very costly, particularly as regards equipment, and I feel the states that are so fortunate as to have these units should make proper and adequate provision for their hoysing and maintenance,” Major-General Everson wrote. “The essential items are modern, heated, fireproof hangars, and administration buildings, with ample offices, class rooms, assembly rooms, lavatory facilities, and an examining room for the flight surgeon. “A photographic laboratory and provision for the communication section also are essential. Os course, rooms, parachute well, machine shop and garage should be provided in your hangars.” Transfer of the unit from Indianapolis would take away a pay roll of $60,000,' spent in the squadron by the federal government, the major told the house committee. It also might remove one airport from Indianapolis, since Stout field was selected by the state for the national guard.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

DEMOCRATS WRITE INCOME TAX BILL

Platform Measure Intended to Ratee $12,000,000 Awaits Introduction. i Bills carrying out the Democratic platform pledges on income tax and ‘ voters registration have been j turned over to Representative ! Delph L. McKesson (Dem., Marshall), Democratic floor leader, for ! introduction at the house session this afternoon. The income tax measure, which, when first written provided that the tax shall be of the federal rate, contains no specific figures or levy charges. It has been decided by R. Earl Peters, Democratic state chairman and Speaker Walter Myere (Dem., Marion), that the tax rates shall be fixed by the committee on ways and means which will frame these recommendations into amendments to be incorporated in the bill when it will be reported out for passage. Sponsored by Women Party leaders are anxious that the income tax bill shall raise $12,000,000, which will leave a balance of $2,000,000 to be collected by some other tax to replace the $14,000,000 obtained annually through the 29 cent levy to meat the stqje governmental appropriations. With but few minor changes the registration bill is the same which was sponsored by the Indiana League of Women Voters in the 1929 session and which was passed after stormy debate by both houses only to have Governor Harry G. Leslie refuse to sign it. Legislation abolishing the fee system, where it now exists, and providing for uniform salaries for county officials, is another Democratic party measure now in preparation. Amounts to be appropriated to pay salaries of deputies and assistant officials constitute the greatest obstacle facing those drafting the measure, likely to be opposed generally by county commissioners because of the restriction placed on them in handling extra salaries. Measures Attacked , Attacking measures declared dangerous to tax reduction, the Indiana Taxpayers’ Association has prepared a digest showing effect of all measures introduced thus far in the general assembly. Os the 293 bills now in the hands of committees, only forty-three are designed to reduce taxes, while forty-five, despite announced policy of leaders of both houses, would increase taxes, Harry Miesse, association secretary, asserts. Chief among the bills labeled by the association as harmful to *tax reduction are the Rowley bill, authorizing collection of a sinking fund for school building purposes, and the Ketchum bill, providing establishment of boards of safety and boards of works in fourth class cities that operate utilities. Both are senate bills. $5,000,000 Cut Likely Efforts to slash departmental requests and keep the biennial appropriation down to $50,000,000, a cut of $5,000,000 from the 1929 figure, probably will be noticeable when the appropriation bill is introduced. Believing it necessary to clarify the public understanding on highway funds, the state budget committee, it is reported, may suggest a separate appropriation for the highway department. If the 1929 levy of 29 cents Is retained, it will oe necessary to cut the appropriation at least $1,000,000 below the last session’s figure, it is pointed out, because of the reduction in taxables valuation.

SCHOOL PENSION LEVYDEFENDED Senate Adopts Report of Special Committee. Intent on reduction of state property taxes, the legislature should not attempt to suspend the school retirement fund of 2 cents and 4 mills on each SIOO of taxables, the Indiana senate was advised today. Senators French Clements (Rep., Vanderburg)- and Herbert V. Tormohlen (Rep., Jay and Randolph), comprising a committee to investigate advisability of such a suspension, brought this report to the senate, and it was adopted after brief discussion. “In our judgment,” said the report, “ it ft not feasible to decrease or temporarily discontinue this tax if the teachers’ retirement fund is to be operated under the present law.’” The report said an actuary’s report of the fund, as of June 1, 1930, was made, showing the state’s liability for 1931-1932 . and 1932-1933. The minimum amount necessary is $1,283,302.65, they said, and with the assessed valuation of taxables fixed at $5,186,000,000, the retirement fund levy of 2.4 cents, will raise sl,244,640. Teachers last year contributed $632,955.22 to the fund, the report stated.

WOMAN FARO ' VICTIM IS TO FIGHT CHARGE Resigns U. S. Revenue Post, Prepares for Battle as She Lies in Hospital. By United Press CHICAGO, Jan. 26. —Mrs. Myrtle Tanner Blacklidge, a little woman with a nerve so strong she dared wager $50,000 on a single turn of j the cards, planned today to accept the hospitality of friends because the card turned wrong. 11l and almost penniless because of a Springfield faro game in which she lost $5t),000 of Edward R. Litsinger's money, Mrs. Blacklidge was in Memorial hospital, but she planned to leave soon, and to come out fighting. Dr. M. L. Weinstein, her physician, said she probably would be forced to accept one of many invitations her friends have extended her to live with them until she is physically able to combat charges made against her by Litsinger.

Career Is Colorful Within two years, Mrs. Blacklidge has experienced more successes and more reverses than most women experience, in a lifetime. In March, 1929, Mrs. Blacklidge was appointed collector of internal revenue, one of the biggest government positions ever held by a woman. She handled almost $300,000,000 in tax money annually. Last year her husband died. Before he was buried her only son died also. Mrs. Blacklidge’s life had seemed dependent upon the "success • and happiness of her son, and she became seriously ill. For weeks it was feared she would die. After her recovery, her finances were low. Knowing this and knowing her daring, confidence men enticed her a week ago into a faro game by suggesting that with her “nerve” there was “big money” in it for her. $50,000 Vanishes She quickly won $207,000 “on paper,” but could not collect until she made good a $50,000 check she had put into ttie game . What happened after that is a matter of dispute betweeri Mrs. Blackridge and Litsinger, a prominent and wealthy politician. Mrs. Blacklidge says Litsinger lent her $50,000, knowing it was to make good a faro check and that she lost the money on a turn of the cards when she returned to the game. Litsinger claims Mrs. Blacklidge “tricked” him and was a party to the swindle, obtaining the money under false pretenses and leading his newphew, Fred Litsinger, into a hotel room where three men “robbed” him of the fifty SI,OOO bills. He has demanded that Mrs. Blacklidge be prosecuted. Mrs. Blacklidge resigned Saturday and lost her only income, $7,500 a year. It left her, she said, practically penniless—except for her fighting spirit. Attorney Finds ‘Clew’ Attorney David D. Stansbury was retained Sunday night by Mrs. Blacklidge and indicated in his first announcements that he contemplated filing suits in her behalf. Stansbury attached particular importance to a memorandum found Saturday in the Springfield hotel room where Mrs. Blacklidge said she was swindled. This memorandum was on the back of a card. There were divisions, subtractions, and additions, the result in each case being $207,500, the amount Mrs. Blacklidge said she won “on paper” the first time she played. Stansbury said the memorandum was made by Mrs. Blacklidge and that it proved her story that she had gambled against the men to win $207,500, not conspired with them to “rob” Litsinger of $50,000.

Best Remedy for Cough Is Easily Mixed at Home

You’ll never know how quickly a stubborn cough or chest cold can be conquered, until you try this famous recipe. It is used in millions of homes, because it gives more prompt, positive relief than anything else. It’s no trouble at all to mix and costs but a trifle. Into a pint bottle, pour 2% ounces of Pinex; then add plain granulated sugar syrup or strained honey to make a full pint. This saves two-thirds of the money usually spent for cough medicine, and gives you a purer, better remedy. It never spoils, and tastes good—children like it. You can actually feel its penetrat ing, soothing action on the inflamed throat membranes. It is also %bsorbed into the blood, where it acts directly on the bronchial tubes. At the same time, it promptly loosens the germ-laden phlegm. This three-fold action explains why it brings such quick relief even in severe bronchial coughs which follow cod epidemics. Pinex is a highly concentrated compound of genuine Norway Pine, containing the active agent of creosote, in a refined, palatable form, and known as one of the greatest healing agents for severe coughs, chest colds and bronchial troubles. Do not accept a substitute for Pinex. It is guaranteed to give prompt relief or money refunded. —Advertisement Safe Deposit Boxes Strongest Vaults In the Middle West Honrs: Bto 5 Dally 1 P. M.
