BRANDS HOOVER VIEWPOINTS AS ‘REACTIONARY' Progressive Uprising at National Convention Is Expected. * By Scrippn-Hnvoard Scicspaprr Alliance WASHINGTON, June 17.—President Herbert Hoover’s defense of his administration at Indianapolis was compared today by Senator T. H. Caraway (Dem., Ark.) to Taft’s Winona speech, which alienated Republican progessives and led to the election of Wilson in 1912. Although Hoover's record has revealed him as a conservative, Caraway said, his policies on the tariff, power, agriculture and the depression as set forth before the Hoosier Republican editors show he definitely and deliberately has aligned himself with ‘‘the reactionaries of his own party.” The Arkansas senator declared the analogy with Taft’s utterance was completed # through Hoover’s praise of half a dozen Indiana statesmen who belong to the ultraconservative wing of the G. O. P. Helps Progressives Political observers believe that the President’s latest political document will strengthen the movement for a progressive demonstration at the G. O. P. convention. Combined with the pronouncements of policy made by National Chairman Simeon Fess and Robert H. Lucas, executive director, at the meeting of the young Republicans a week ago, they amount to a repudiation of all that the Norris-Borah-Brookhart-La Follete group have advocated. At Winona, Taft praised the Payne-Aldrich bill, especially the wool schedule, and eulogized the Payne-Aldrich—Cannon brand of Republicanism. Hoover declared the G. O. P. would ‘‘stick by the Haw-ley-Smoot bill,” and praised majority leader James E. Watson and his colleague. Senator Arthur Robinson, as well .as Representatives Wood, Purnell and Vestal. All five are regarded as reactionary. Pinchot Is Boosted Meanwhile, it was learned that Governor Gifford Pinchot of Pennsylvania has received letters from western progressive senators praising his anti-administration address before the Governors’ conference at French Lick, Ind., and urging him to enter the presidential primary in their states. Pinchot will leave for Portland, Ore., soon to speak before a group of early Alaskan explorers, and he plans to confer with progressives on the trip. HOOVER REIGN SCORED BY GOVERNOR RITCHIE Lack of Leadership Deplored by Maryland’s Chief Executive. By V nlted Press NEW YORK, June 17.—A higher order of self-government and industrial statesmanship is needed in the United States to stabilize the economic system and eliminate depressions, Governor Albert C. Ritchie of Maryland, believes. The United States and the entire world are “on the verge of stupendous changes, in which new concepts of human relationships are to be created and from which new standards are to be evolved,” he told delegates to the convention of the Advertising Federation of America Tuesday night. Governor Ritchie assailed the Hoover administration for what he termed “its failures to lead the country out cf international affairs,” and deplored “the lack of leader-

JUDGE READY TO RULE ON SALARY MANDATE Rabb Orders Briefs in Reporters Suit Against County. Special Judge A. L. Rabb has indicated he will rule on a suit within a few days to mandate the county to pay $4,800, or S6OO each, to eight former court reporters. This announcement was made today following a hearing in circuit court Tuesday when Rabb ordered briefs filed in the case. Court reporters, who base their claims on salary Increases ordered by the judges, contend the council approved their increases by appropriating money for the purpose. The council refused to pay the extra S6OO each which would have allowed the reporters, who served during 1930, to receive $3,000 each a year Instead of $2,400, the present salary. MADE MUSIC DIRECTOR Plymouth Teacher New Supervisor for Marion County Schools. Selection of Miss Ruth Hill, former teacher at Plymouth, as music supervisor in Marion county schools was announced today by Fred T. Gladden, county schools superintendent. ' Miss Hill was chosen a group of forty-six applicants. She is a graduate of De Pauw university and formerly was music supervisor in Plymouth.

THAT ‘VILE’ NAME

Mike’s a Cop, Says Underworld

BY ARCH STEINEL “Copper!” From corners of mouths that hold drooping cigarets In doorways of poolrooms of the city and between smiles of the fancy-skirted of the half-world comes this epithet. Lost behind a maze of flowers in the office of the chief of police at headquarters stands the man to whom the epithet is applied— Michael F. Morrissey, new 34-year-old chief of police. “Aw he’s all-right. But he’s copper,” continues Drooping Cigaret. And “copper” to Drooping Cigaret is the line of demarcation between the law and the lawless. It’s the broad line that “Mike” Morrissey has drawn for himself in his strides through streets where the Ten Commandments are discarded. Bring ’Em In Morrissey tabs himself “copper" as he talks today to the boys who’ll pound the pavements for him with, “If you see open law violations—bring ’em in.” And “bring ’em in," he says, means just that, without reservations. Mike’s pink today with the delight of a boy with anew coaster wagon. “I believe the boys are for me,” he says in an aside to a brother officer. “Sure they are, Mike,” the ‘buddy” officer retorts as he pats him on the shoulder while patrolmen file in and out with handshakes for their new boss. Holiday for Cops It’s a Roman holiday for the police, for a few days, this congratulating the new chief. “Mike” knows it. The short-clipped words that Morrissey used on the job are supplanted for an Irish smile. The “copper” in him is buried for friendliness. But it crops out with swift finality as he tells his “boys” he wants co-operation from them and that the door of his office is always open, for I’m still Mike Morrissey.” He's no babe that’s getting his first eye-wash, this new chief. He knows why speeders speed, gamblers gamble, bootleggers bootleg, and vice is always a city visitor, from his days as head of the motoi-cycle squad, the vice raiders, and work as detective. “If anything is stressed during the time I'm chief it'll be vice,” Morrissey said. Kids ’Em Afterward He prides himself in his ability to arrest a man, prosecute him in court, and joke good-naturedly with him after the case has been tried. But he has a “homey” side this “Copper Chief” with the red hair. He's a “mama’s boy.” Yep he admits it as fearlessly as he would face the guns of gangsters. “I'm the youngest of eleven children so I guess I am a mother’s boy. You know that was the only time I’ve cried today was when I told mother I'd been made chief. She cried, too. She was tickled you know.” But you couldn’t tell Drooping Cigaret and others of his_ ilk that the new “chief” was a “mama’s ; boy.” They wouldn’t get it. Likes Corned Beef They wouldn't understand that the man they call “Copper Mike” is happiest when he’s sitting at his mother’s table in their home at 1416 East Market street, eating corn beef and cabbage. “And she can make some corn beef and cabbage,” the “Chief” added. No! Drooping Cigaret wouldn’t | get that nor Fancy Girl and that's why Mike Morrissey is “Copper.” Dentist's WiirCancels All Bills By United Press YORK, Pa., June 17.—'The will of Dr. Horace A. Bashore, a dentist, filed today, canceled all bills due him for dental work done for patients. After the provision for canceling the outstanding accounts due, the will bequeathed the estate to Bashore’s wife.

PROBE FARMER'S BEATING STORY Holdup Charged, but Cops Fail to Find Bruises. Authorities of Marion and Johnson counties today probed the story of John T. Currey of Franklin, farmer and grain dealer, who, on Tuesday night, claimed he beaten and robbed by two hitchhikers. Search for Currey was started by Marion deputy sheriffs when his wife reported he had not returned to their home after a trip to Indianapolis. Johnson county deputies found Currey s car wreck and burned in a ditch along the Southport road west of Bluff road. Early today Currey was picked up by deputies at the residence of John W. Clossey, near the Madison road, where Currey said he had wandered after being unconscious four hours. Returned to the county jail, Currey told deputies the bandits had struck him, taken $lO5, a watch and knife. Deputies said examination of Currey’s head and neck failed to reveal any bruises where, he said, he had been struck by the bandits

U. S. DOCTOR BILL IS 3 BILLIONS A YEAR $751,000,000 Wasted, Social Workers Told at Conference, By United Press MINNEAPOLIS. Minn., June 17.
