JOB REMEDIES ARE OFFERED BY ROOSEVELT Tariff and Tax Revision, Government Cost Cut Are Urged. (Plnchot's ddres on pwre 1) BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Correspondent FRENCH LICK, IndL, June 2. Power control and long-time governmental planning to prevent such economic slumps as the present were two policies placed before the Governors’ conference here today by two potential candidates for President of the United States. “Power” was to be injected into the program by Governor Gifford Pinchot, fighting Pennsylvania Republican progressive. What might be termed the "fiveyear or more plan” was proposed by Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt, a leading Democratic presidential possibility. Although Governor Roosevelt stuck to his speech on “Land Utilization and State Planning,” he opened by saying: “At a time when our country, in common with most of the rest of the world, is suffering from a severe dislocation of economic progress, people naturally are and asking properly questions about the future. Roosevelt Offers Remedy “It seems strange to them that, with capacities for production developed to the highest degree the world ever has seen, there should come this severe depression, when many eager to work can not find food for their families, while at the same time there is such a surplus of food supplies and other necessities that those who are growing crops or manufacturing can find no markets. It is Roosevelt’s belief, he said, that to remedy this situation “government, both state and national, must accept the responsibility of doing what it can do—soundly with considered forethought and along definitely constructive, not passive, lines.” Gives His Program These lines, he continued, include: ‘Scientific tariff, aimed primarily to create a movement of world commodities from one nation to another. “Better thought-out system of national taxation. "A survey and plan to cut the excessive cost of local government. “Extension of the principle of insurance to cover sickness and unemployment, which are not now reached. “A proper balance between urban and rural life.” Governor Roosevelt then explained in detail the program otf state planning for agricultural lands now under way in his state. He urged future decentralization of Industry and creation of ruralurban communities, where workers in the factories farm during the ■eason. Cites New York Plan State aid for rural schools, roads and cheap power for the farmer, comprise the New York program, he pointed out. “We are faced with a situation of hundreds of farmers attempting to farm under conditions where it is impossible to maintain an American standard of living,” Governor Roosevelt continued. “They are breaking their hearts, their health, and their pocketbooks against a stone wall of impossibilities, and yet they produce enough farm products to add to the national surplus.” Speaking on “Executive Duties and Powers,” Governor George H. Dern, Utah, urged increased power for the chief executive, who, he pointed out, now is held responsible for an administration over which he has only partial, and in some instances, no control. “Centralization of administrative control does not mean at all that the Governor will become an autocrat. who will try to run every state office and activity,” he declared. "But I do think that, in the interest of the taxpayer, our state governments should be organized in such fashion that they may be able to approach private enterprise in efficiency.” Dern Vents Ire Offices, such as the secretary of state and attorney-general, should be appointive, rather than elective, he declared. He then bitterly assailed the lieutenant-governors who are ready to embarrass an administration ■whenever a Governor leaves the state and charged that certain Governors were not present at the conference because of such a situation. Greater concentration of power with the Governor would make for more democracy by voters having a choice of men to govern, rather than merely voting the party label, because the ballots are too long to know the men, he pointed out. Pleads for Leadership Similar ideas were advanced by Governor William Tudor Gardiner, Maine, who pleaded for greater leadership on the part of his fellow Governors in all governmental problems facing their respective states. Dern was one of the principal speakers at the open forum Monday afternoon, where Governor Harry G. Leslie outlined the Indiana plan of tax control. The Governors spent an hour Monday In executive session, talking about the problem of unemployment, but refused to disclose what was said.

A safety fuel for automobiles and airplanes that is as incombustible as Diesel oil and yet as powerful and as productive of engine performance as good aviation gasoline was demonstrated here before the sixth annual aircraft engineering research conference of the national advisory committee for aeronautics.

The new liquid is being tested at the Langley memorial aeronautical laboratory in a special single-cylin-der engine. This new fuel, produced by one of the leading oil companies, by means of the new process of hydrogenation, has such a low flash point that a lighted match can be tossed into it without starting a fire. This safety fuel is expected to be important in preventing fires that now follow immediately upon crashes of gasoline-engined airplanes. It is not yet on the market. PASS SANITARY LAW Council Act Requires Close Control of Restaurants. City health board Inspectors today were preparing to enforce an ordinance passed by city council Monday night giving the health board stringent control over public eating places. The ordinance, sponsored by the Indianapolis Restaurant Owners Association, requires all restaurant owners to apply to the health board for a permit, after investigation of sanitary conidtions. Also it requires restaurant employes to file a sworn application with the board showing physical fitness. Detailed requirements for sanitary handling of foodstuffs and operation of restaurants are set out in the measure. Another ordinance passed authorizes the park board to sell two abandoned playground sites. WOMAN TRADEsIiIME RINGS FOR DIAMONDS Prisoner From Oxford (Ind.) Tells of “Fast One” on Jewelers. Nimble fingers that outwitted four jewelers’ clerks were numbed today, when police obtained a confession from Mrs. Mae Anderson, alias Ruth Clark of Oxford, Ind., that she stole several diamond rings here more than a month ago. Mrs. Anderson, held on a vagrancy charge, said she bought a handful of glass rings in a 10-cent store, and then visited the jewelers, inspecting diamonds in four stores. While the clerk’s attention was lax, she substituted one of the cheap rings for a diamond, she admitted. Later she pawned and sold the genuine stones.
