BUDGET GUTS TO BE FELT BY CITY'S FORCES Departments to Operate Under Restraint, Study Shows Observers. Curtailment of practically every department of' city government will result from the 1 cent slash in the 1932 city tax levy, a study of departmental budgets showed today. Cuts aggregating $545,000 will be felt by a majority of offices, although personnel is not affected in the majority of cases. The city's budget is in the hands of city councilmen after being submitted Monday night by Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan. Special session of the council probably will be called next week, with the possible end of clipping still more from budgets of some departments, it was indicated. Police to Feel Cuts Cuts affecting personnel were felt chiefly by the police department where salaries of police women were pared a total of $12,000. Minor salary reductions will touch practically every major department, heads indicated today. The 1-cent cut was made despite decrease in valuation of taxable property representing a revenue of $163,000. General retrenchment in operating expenses of city parks will result from the paring of approximately $50,000 from the park board budget, A. C. Sallee, park superintendent, indicated. Sallee stated that contemplated expansion in the department possibly will be delayed for at least two years. He said salary appropriations were pared to the bone and that funds for hiring of labor were cut drastically. Work Not Hampered Sallee said the cutting, however, will not interfere seriously with the maintenance work of the department, as arrangements have been made with the made-work committee of the Chamber of Commerce to utilize that labor in the parks. W. H. Winship, street commissioner, indicated the $13,000 cut in that department’s budget will not hamper operations seriously. Cuts aggregating $128,046 were recommended by the works board, touching practically every function of the department, members Indicated. Other major cuts in the city budget areas follows: Sanitary board, $45,000; building department, $6,000; fire department, $16,157; police Gamewell department, $9,754; engineer's office, $17,609; weights and measures office, $2,050; recreation department, sl,400; department of public health, $45,000, and the municipal garage, $9,754. CLERMONT M. E. TO SPONSOR FISH FRY Members of Church to Hear Concert by Plainfield Boys’ Band. Members of the Clermont Methodist Episcopal church will sponsor a public fish fry and lawn fete on the church grounds, Friday and Saturday nights. Featuring Friday night’s program will be a program from 7 to 9 by the Plainfield Boys’ School band of twenty-five pieces. Arrangements are being made by the Rev.

By United Prcus TOLEDO, 0., Aug. 18.—L. A. Miller, president of the Willys-Over-land company announced today his company will continue operations despite the closing of the four Toledo banks. “We have banking connections in other cities and our operations will not be hampered,” Miller said. “There will be no change in control nor in the operating policy of the company.” He said 7.000 men are working three days a week in the local factory. FLEET MOVE NO 'STUNT’ Congressman Britten Denies He Engineered Montauk Cruise. Ft- United Press NEW YORK, Aug. 18.—Refuting charges he had exerted political pressure to have the scouting fleet brought to Montauk, L. 1., where he has an interest in a real estate developing company, Representative Fred A. Britten, chairman of the house naval affairs committee, said today that Montauk had been included in the fleet’s itinerary by the navy department because Ft. Pond bay is one of the best harbors on the Atlantic coast. BEER DRINKING SLUMPS German Consumption Drops to 1.280,000.000 Gallons in Year.

LTeM 1 Me.

BY BEN STERN

SHED a tear for Floyd Williamson, state auditor; Bill Storen, state treasurer, and George Cole, state superintendent of public instruction. Some big, bad boogie man is trying to scare them—and they are so frightened. It must be terrible to work so hard for your friends that your job is being threatened, but, anyhow, they tell me that someone industriously is spreading the repo-*- that the anti-McNutt group is preparing to place candidates in the field against the above trio as a retaliatory measure for their perfervid espousal of the McNutt for Governor cause. *, Perhaps this is why Cole has an office full of girls recommended for state jobs by various representatives and senators; and Williamson is preparing to ask the state budget committee to increase his staff of gas tax field auditors from five to twelve. “These deserving Democrats have to be taken care of.” tt tt Rarely has it been the policy of any party to oppose the renomination of incumbent state officials holding two-year terms. It has been a foregone conclusion that holders of such offices are entitled to two terms. Os course, if Frank Mayr Jr. seeks the governorship, he, like the dog with the bone, must drop one to grab the other. But in the case of Williams, Storen and Cole, there really is nothing to fear. The entire affair appears to be a movement on the part of their friends to attract the attention of McNutt and his adherents to the great sacrifices being made by the trio in his behalf. Whoever is responsible for the plan shows little political sagacity, for, after all, by calling attention of the Mayr-South Bend group to the fact that such movement could be inaugurated, the way is opened to it becoming an actuality. It would be a very good joke indeed if this would occur.

SEA HOPJJNDER BAN Pangborn, Herndon Not Freed by Fine, Japs Hold. By United Press TOKIO, Aug. 18.—The Aviation Society today continued its refusal to grant Clyde E. Pangborn and Hugh Herndon Jr., American aviators, permission to attempt a flight to the United States. It was contended that if the pilots were Japanese their licenses would be revoked because of violation of the law in taking pictures of fortifications when they flew here from Russia. Representatives of the fliers, in urging that the permission be given, asserted that payment of $2,000 fines had closed the incident. Customs officials, meanwhile, were threatening to seal the machine pending an arrangement guaranteeing payment of duties in the event the craft is not taken out of Japan. By United Press BERLIN, Aug. 18. Captain Johannes Ratje and Otto Koelber, pilot and mechanic of the Eurasia Aviation Corporation, have been sentenced by Mongolian authorities to five years’ imprisonment on charges of espionage, a case similar to that of Pangborn and Herndon. While piloting a mail and passenger plane between Shanghai and Manchuli, o n the Siberia-Man-churia border, Ratje was forced down in outer Mongolia July 4 by gunfire from Mongolian troops and captured. San Francisco and the cities of Berkeley, Alameda and Oakland are to be joined by a bridge across San Francisco bay.

REPORTER IS SHOT DOWN BY MINEGUNMEN Harlan Trio Grabs Press Representative; Order Him Out of Town. By United Press PINEVILLE, Ky„ Aug. 18.—Boris Israel, 21, of Columbus, 0., sent by the Federated Press, New York, to report on conditions in the Harlan county coal fields, was in a hospital here today, with a bullet wound in his left leg, inflicted, he said, by three men who ordered him to leave Harland and not return. Israel said he was taken from the Harland court house by the three, forced into a car and brought to the county line. Ordered out and told not to return. He asserted they fired at him as he started down a path. Limping to the highway, he obtained a taxicab and was driven here. The bullet imbedded itself above the knee. Despite loss of blood, he was improving today. Several weeks ago another newspaper man was shot, Bruce Crawford, editor of a weekly at Norton, Va. Crawford also had written articles on the labor situation near Harlan, where bloodshed has occurred as a result of animosity between law enforcement officers and union organizers. Six Are Arrested By United Press HARLAN, Ky., Aug. 18.—Six men were arrested and three thousand rounds of ammunition, together with several high-powered rifles, shotguns and pistols were confiscated in raids by sheriff’s deputies here today. The raids were made in an effort to prevent threatened disturbances as the Harlan county grand jury began an intensive investigation into Communistic activities and labor disorders here last spring that resulted in four deaths. Thirty men face trial during the present term of court on murder charges in connection with the slayings. The six men arrested were jailed without bond on charges of “banding and confederating.”

A Go-Getter That’s Young Betty, 10, for Whom Travel Holds No Fears.

TYETTY HARRISON very likely •*-* will “get somewhere” when she grows up. She’s only 10 now, but already she has learned self-reliance, and how to succeed in what she attempts. The fact that her parents get a “scare” once in awhile is incidental, for Betty, with the thoughtlessness of very young people merely occasionally forgets to advise them of her plans. Sunday morning Betty arose early and left her home at 818 Paxton jjlace, Broad Ripple. Later she was seen by a friend at College avenue and Sixty-third stret. She told the friend that she had a dollar in her purse and that she was going to Union station. tt st tt SUBSEQUENTLY, Betty’s father, George Harrison, became alarmed when Betty didn’t come home and notified police. The entire force, on orders from headquarters, were on the lookout for her throughout Sunday. No trace of her was found. Her aunt telephoned from Noblesville Monday to tell the girl’s parents that Betty was with her. The child had boarded an interurban car, traveled to Noblesville and walked five miles from there to the aunt’s home. “All in a lifetime,” was the nonchalant attitude of Betty, who always gets to where she is going. BEN-HURS TO PICNIC Indiana Members, Friends to Frolic at Crawfordsville Home. Indiana members of Ben Hur and their friends will attend a joint basket picnic at the Ben Hur home in Crawfordsville, Sunday, Aug. 30. One thousand Ben Hurs are expected to be present.
