NATIONAL ROAD REPAVING MAY BE POSTPONED Bottle-Neck Approaches to Bridges Barrier to Improvement. Possibility that the plan to pave U. S. 40 (National road) with socalled ''black-top” may be abandoned tor this season was disclosed today. The matter was the subject of a conference of Director John J. Brown of the state highway department, with Governor Harry G. Leslie and James Showalter, tax board chairman, In the Governor’s office. Bids for black-topping the road to a width of thirty feet between Cumberland and Greenfield have been advertised for and are scheduled for opening by the commissioners June 2. On emerging from the conference, Brown declared that the entire paving program may have to be postponed. He denied that any pleas, organized or unorganized, to have the road paved with cement had come to his attention. Alter Top Specifications But the specifications confining the bidding to black-top will be changed to include concrete regardless of whether the contract is let this year or next, Brown contended. N The project, as advertised, met the demand for three paving types provided by law by specifying three black-top types The concrete interests have contended that if permitted to bid they would be low on construction costs, the bottom having dropped out of the cement market. Brown said the possibility that the project may be abandoned for the present is not based on any material fight, however, but because he had learned that there are several twenty-two-foot bridges en route, which can not be widened because the highway bridges run parallel to the T. H, I & E. bridges. Must Solve Bridge Problem “To run a thirty-foot road into a twenty-two-foot bridge would create a, bottle-neck exceedingly dangerous for the intense traffic on the National road,” Brown pointed out. “This problem must be solved before we proceed further.” Petition is pending to abandon the TANARUS, H, I. E., Indianapolis to Greenfield line, but has been vigorously opposed by the city of Greenfield in arguments before the public service commission HITS WOMEN IN IOBS Among Chief Factors in Present Crisis, Says Minister. By United Pren NEW YORK. May 25.—Women who have given up home life to seek business careers are among the chief factors in the unemployment situation, the Rev. James F.

TWO love feasts which have attracted the attention of state political leaders will be held tonight. Eleventh district Republicans meet at Anderson; Tenth district Democrats gather at Newcastle. Both meeting have distinctive features. The Republicans will heart Frederick Landis, Logansport editor and 1928 reunner-up for the G. O P. nomination for Governor He is expected to sound his keynote for the campaign it is thought will make for the 1932 nomination At Newcastle Frederick Van Nuys, former United States district attorney and Democratic state chairman, may make the declaration his friends hope to hear—that he will be a candidate for United States senator in the next convention a a tt Indiana polis politicians are of course deeply interested in the Anderson meeting as the eastern section of Maripn county is part of the Eleventh district, and a large delegation from the Irvington Republican Club headed by the president, Bert Morgan, is expected to attend This meeting is the second G. O. P. rally m this district. The first was sponsored here by the Irvington Club and “Nine Vote” Bert Vestal, incumbent congrressman, made the principal address Vestal has been engaged busily in fence building since then and will do much handshaking at tonght's affair. a a a So far, none of the advance notices for the Necastle dinner have indicated that Paul V McNutt, outstanding Democratic contender for Governor, will be present or has been invited. It is recalled that James Carpenter of Connersville, old Sixth district Democratic chairman and head of the state autimobile license division, is one of the important Democratic factors in the new Tenth district, as most of the old Sixth is within the new boundaries Through virtue of his appointment Carpenter’s interests are allied closely with those of Secretary of State Frank Mayr Jr. and his advisers, and therefore if McNutt has not been invited the chairman will be credited with the move. .

RAIL RATE HIKE PLAN IS CALLED 'UNWISEMOVE' State C. of C. Chief Warns Loss of Tonnage Will Curb Revenue, Freight rate increases proposed by the nation’s railroads would curtail their revenues by driving added tonnage to trucks and waterways, in the opinion of R. B, Coapstick, manager of the traffic department, Indiana State Chamber of Commerce. The 10 to 15 per cent rate boost which the railroads propose to ask of the interstate commerce commission appears as an “unwise move” to Coapstick, whose views were sought by The Times today in its effort to sound the arguments for and against the increase. Railroads’ contention the rate increases would help place the nation on its feet economically has arroused conflicting views of manufacturing business and agricultural leaders throughout the country. Interprets Executive's Stand “The transportation question flashed on the screen Thursday when it was announced that the carriers east of the Mississippi would immediately proceed to secure authority from the interstate commerce commission to increase freight rates at least 10 per cent,” said Coapstick. “It appears to be the thought of the eastern railway executives that an increase in freight rates will prevent wage reductions, enable the carriers again to get in the market to purchase supplies, strengthen the credit of the country and is the only thing which will bring us out of our present business depression. Threat in Other Carrier Modes “While we realize the present condition of the railroads, we also realize the present condition of the various other industries and we seriously question whether or not business is in a condition to stand a further increase in costs of transportation at this particular time. “We wonder if the cost of transportation is increased if business would not begin to think more seriously of other avenues of transportation? It is quite probable that

Co-Chairmen for Rally

Mrs. Cornelius Posson and Miss Caroline Thompson are co-chair-men of the program committee for the second annual fellowship rally of Central avenue church Wednesday night. Four hundred are expected to attend. Charles E. Smith and Murray Garland are district chairmen. Entertainment at the rally will be provided by the Sunday school orchestra. The affair will close a. series of neighborhood meetings. The community district represented by the largest number of persons will receive a banner. Following entertainment, refreshments will be served in the church dining room, ‘MARKSMAN’ IS NABBED Negro Is Charged With Shooting Buttons Off Foe’s Clothing. Ability as a marksman brought Patrick Dugan, 1528 Blaine avenue, to the city prison. Reports of shooting in the rear of 1545 Reisner street, sent police there to find Charles Scott, Negro, of that address, standing in the alley armed with a shotgun. Scott charged Dugan with having shot buttons off various parts of his clothing.

any increase in freight rates would drive materially more tonnage to trucks and waterways so that in the long run that tonnage left to rail transportation under such increased rates would not yield to the carriers the revenue which they receive on the present basis, “At a glance it would appear that at this particular time the railroads have made a very unvise move in attempting to foster increased costs upon the public.” Harry B. McNeely, superintendent of the freight and traffic division of the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce, said of the railroad’s proposal: “If business can stand it and if the manufacturer can pass it on and if it will do what the railroads say it will do for them, then there will probably be no objection to the freight rate increase. The interstate commerce commission will have to decide these points, however ”
