LABOR BOARD IS DEMANDED BYfI.F. OF L. Federal Agency Sought to Avert Repetition of Depression. MU Scripp*.Howard Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Oct. s.—Demand for creation of a federal labor board to ‘‘study the problems of labor and suggest constructive policies” is made by the American Federation of Labor's executive council in its annual report released here today. Such a board, the council declares, "would disclose mounting unemployment, trends in distribution of income, Inadequate buying power as balanced against production.” It would “warn labor and business of unbalance due to inadequate returns to wage earners” to prevent disasters such as the present depression. It would be manned by representative citizens, equipped with a technical staff. "Such a federal labor board would give labor federal assistance and service comparable to what is given farmers and Industry,” the report says.

Job Program Offered The report oppresses disappointment in President Hoover’s failure to call an emergency conference ot labor-employer interests to prevent wage cuts and arrange for national Industrial planning. It assails the bankers for their reputed share in recent wage cuts, declaring that the bankers fail to understand the relation between high wages and national prosperity. "Higher wages are necessary to maintain an economic machine geared to high production,” it states. The council suggests an emergency program for the coming winter, consisting of maintenance of high wages, shortening of work hours, employment by each of the nation’s 3,000,000 employers of two workers each, work assurance to a minimum force from November to April by employers, additional public works, strengthening of employment agencies, keeping of all children in their teens in school, preference of workers with dependents, financial relief from private and public funds.

Oppose Dole, Charity Employers are warned that if nothing is done to give American workers assurance of labor compulsory insurance is inevitable. The council declares that the workers do not want charity or the dole. It bitterly denounces the “nuisance tax, or sales tax, as proposed by Senator David Reed and others. Instead it insists that “the most just forms of taxing great wealth are through the estate, gift and inheritance taxes.” A fertile field also lies in taxation of the great incomes. The council declares for modification of the Volstead act to permit the manufacture and sale of 2.75 per cent beer. It announces itself in favor of the 90 per cent emergency immigration restriction to quota and nonquota countries. It favors the Welch bill for Philippine independence and immigration restriction. Urge Old Age Pension It favors enactment of the antiinjunction bill, the King bill to prevent smuggling of aliens as seamen. the defeated oil embargo, the defeated maternity-infancy act. Labor is not satisfied with the present Doak employment service, the report indicates. It praises the vetoed Wagner bill. The council urges a nation-wide drive to ratify the child labor amendment, urges adoption of its model old-age pension act, denounces discrimination against older workers. The council takes no stand on the two plans advanced to aid the railways, the 15 per cent freight raise or consolidations. It does criticise President Hoover for having failed to call a conference to aid the depressed bituminous coal situation.

Not Courting By United Press WASHINGTON. Oct. 5. President Hoover had an engagement today ’with the Philadelphia Athletics and the St. Louis Cardinals. According to 143-year-old custom, he also had an engagement with the supreme court of the United States. The supreme court did not see the President. Since the court first sat in 1788, it has called at the executive mansion the first day of each term to notify the President it is in session. The visit has become a part of court and presidential routine. But today, the President left for Philadelphia to see the world series, before the court met. At the White House the United Press was informed that the court undoubtedly knew Mr. Hoover was going to a ball game and would not be at home.

STATE MAY GET FORESTRY HOME Possibility of U. S. Station Is Discussed. Indiana may have a federal forestry experimental station as a result of efforts which got under way day today, jointly by the state conservation department and the federal forestry forces. According to Ralph Wilcox, state forester, two representatives of the central states forest experiment station, Columbus, 0., came here to inspect the possibility of establishing such a station at the MorganMonroe state forest. Director Richard Lieber of the state conservation department asked Attorney-General James M. Ogden for an opinion covering the legal aspects of the case. The opinion was rendered today and sets out that while the state (conservation department neither could sell nor lease the land for the station, the federal government might buy from private owners the twenty acres needed in the vicinity of the state forest. The matter is to be taken up at Washington at once, Wilcox said. Should the station be established, it will mean erection of a dwelling for the foresters, an office building and probably a garage.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

THIRD DEGREE USED, SIMMONS HINTS State Witnesses Deny Charges Hurled by Lawyers for Woman. (Continued from Page One)

June 21 was inserted in chicken sandwiches, the state charging Mrs. Simmons committed the crime. He was permitted to say that tests showed the capsules would not dissolve in water for several days. Showed No Symptoms He was halted from answering the state’s question as to whether Mrs. S.mmons, at the hospital before the deaths of her daughters, asserted the capsules would ha\f been dissolved if they had been placed in the food at her home in Greenfield. Porter testified that Simmons showed no symptoms of strychnine poisoning, but had said he "felt bad ” Three-way verbal warfare flared between the attorneys and Judge John W. Hornsjday when the state objected to the defense asking Porter if he heard Scifres tell Mrs. Simmons he "had enough on you to send you to the electric chair.” With the objections overruled, Scifres and Roy Adney, special prosecutor, turned to the court asking:

Question Is Withdrawn "Aren’t you going to be fair? We tried to get in conversation, but failed.” The question propounded to Porter never was answered, W. H. Parr Sr. withdrawing it after the state’s question to the court. This afternoon defense attorneys were expected to open their thirddegree accusations on Porter. Doctors and nurses who attempted to save the lives of the' children after the strychnine poisoning wall follow Dr. Porter on the witness stand. They are expected to corroborate the coroner’s testimony that Mrs. Simmons was calm and apparently undisturbed by the death throes of her daughters. Then, one by one, the persons who attended the reunion, relatives of the Simmons and Pollard families, will march to the witness box for the state to tell of the day’s events on June 21 and their exact whereabouts at the time the poison capsules were discovered in the pressed chicken sandwiches. May Be Recalled State’s attorneys who have been attempting to impeach the testimony of the defendant’s husband indicated he probably will be recalled to the witness stand. Attorneys said they had information which would strengthen their impeachment move. The state may request permission of the court to take the jurors to the picnic spot in Lebanon’s municipal park and fix in their minds the scene of that June day tragedy. Fat women and lean men, old codgers and white-haired grandmothers, jammed in a flying wedge today in an attempt to break through the courtroom door and be the first ones seated. They ran for seats. They stumbled over each other in their eagerness.

CAPITAL TALKS ! LENGTHENING OF DEBTJOLIDAY Program Being Outlined in Connection With Visit of Laval. By United Pres* WASHINGTON, Oct. s.—Discussion of an extension of the Hoover moratorium on war debts and reparations is under way, it was learned authoritatively today. The administration is under heavy ; banking pressure to take another I step in that direction, but strong j opposition has been encountered j from congressional leaders. A final | decision has not been reached, it is said. An effort is being made now, however, to formulate a program in connection with the forthcoming visit of French Premier Pierre Laval later this month. Formerly the administration desired to defer consideration of an extension until after congress ratifies the "Hoover year” which became effective July 1. However, pressure has been so strong for an immediate adjustment of the uncertainty as to what will come after the year is up that Mr. Hoover is disposed to move as soon as possible. Point to Bankers’ Terms The urgency arises partly from renewed withdrawals frem the Reichsbank and partly from the fact that American bankers who participate din the six months’ “stand still agrement.” This agreement, by which the bankers promised no tto disturb their short-term loans in Germany for six months, expires in February, according to a department of commerce official. Amrican bankers are desirous of knowing what is to be expected before laying their course with regard to these credits. Disclosure that Mr. Hoover has an extension of the moratorium under consideration followed a mysterious series of conferences during which the President spent moch time with Secretary of Treasury Andrew Mellon and Undersecretary Ogden Mills, who handled the original moratorium’s negotiations. Hoover Talks With Many Dwight W. Morrow, who did much useful undercover liaison work between the administration and New York bankers in arranging the original banking co-opera-tion which supported the moratorium, came here last week. Every effort was made to conceal his presence. Bernard Baruch, New York financier, who just had returned from abroad, also was called to Washington to consult with Mr. Hoover. Julius Barnes, another financial adviser of the President, spent the week-end with Mr. Hoover. Today Secretaries Mellon and Stimson conferred. Opposed by Congress Opposition to an extension at this time comes chiefly from congress which has stil to approve the oneyear suspension for debt payments put into effect by Mr. Hoover, July 1. Hoover has been told that congress will oppose any extensions until Europe takes some steps of its own chJfefly with regard to a naval holiday and curtailment of armaments. American officials attach much importance to the conference Tuesday between Laval and Lord Reeling, British foreign minister. It was said in some quarters that these conversations would have an important bearing on anything that may be done by this country and I the inference was left that Wash- i ington expects a move from Europe j as a preliminary to any further debt j concessions.

‘SHORTS' STILL WORRY HOOVER Topic Enters Discussion of European Powers. By United Press WASHINGTON, Oct. s.—President Hoover is engaged in a canvass of the European economic situation in preparation, it is understood, for the visit this month of Premier Pierre Laval of France. Long conferences were held Saturday at the White House with Bernard Baruch, Democratic financial leader, and with Treasury Secretary Andrew C. Mellon and Undersecretary Ogden Mills. Later, at his Rapidan camp, Mr. Hoover went over the ground again with Julius Barnes, former president of the United States Chamber of Commerce. In addition to the Europeon situation, it was learned that shortselling in stocks was discussed. The Chamber of Commerce went -a record Saturday in favor of restricting shorts. Mr. Hoover has denounced the practice as unpatriotic. It is believed, however, that he will not ask legislation to curb it, but. if he acts at all merely wiil call in all business leaders and ask them to use their influence..

‘AIR ATTACK' MAPPED i Mrs. Ham, Who Sells Ham at Port, May Be Sued. Slices of ham that form part of j the box lunch repasts which T. and W. A. plane passengers munch thousands of feet in the air, become the pieces de resistance in a county court case. Carl H. Punde, holder of the food concession at the municipal airport, today told works board members he may file suit to enjoin Mrs. S. E. Ham from providing air passengers with box luniffies. The air riders recently changed their luncheon devotions to Mrs. Ham. She makes up box lunches and leaves them at the airport offices to be obtained by stewards of the line for passengers. Recently, Mrs. Ham was told she would have to pay 10 per cent of her profits to the city “or else.” Since Mrs. Ham decided on “or else,” it appears she may have to support her box lunches in court.

RAZZBERRY CHORUS GREETS AL CAPONE AT FOOTBALL GAME Boy Scouts Jeer ‘Big Shot’ of Gangland Who Must Make * Final Reckoning for Alleged Income Tax Evasion. BY RAY BLACK United Press Staff Corresoendent CHICAGO, Oct. s.—Alphonse Capone will be brought into federal court Tuesday to face the showdown of his eleven years of rackets and will take with him the memory of his first hostile experience with the court of public opinion. He was booed while he sat watching the Northwestern-Nebraska football game at Evanston Saturday and still further derided when he left the field before the fourth quarter had been played. The hooting came from the bleachers, where Capone had to hunt a seat like any other person who had neglected to obtain tickets in advance. The chorus of disapproval started between halves of the game. Capone's ’’training” for his court appearance, which removed fifty pounds from his paunchy bulk, apparently had delayed recognition from the crowd.

Thousands of Boy Scouts were spectators at the game, and when the cat calls at Capone continued and he took flight, fully 200 of the scouts trailed along behind, gleefully speeding his departure with a final chorus. At 10 Tuesday morning in United States district court, the biggest "big shot” of them all faces final reckoning for his era of aggrandizement. He is listed for trial on a I charge of evading income taxes. Ace Prosecutors Ready The government has collected the ; aces of its prosecuting staffs in Washington and Chicago to try to convict Capone on twenty-two counts contained in two indictments charging he defrauded the government of $215,000 in tax on an income of sl,038,654 over the six-year period from 1924 to 1929, inclusive. The charges do not specify the sources of the income. No one in the nation old enough to read needs to be told what "rackets” poured their profits into the coffers of the Capone syndicate. Capone’s appearance at the football game Saturday gives an inkling of his attitude. He appeared with "Machine Gun” Jack McGurn and eight bodyguards. He was a picture of health and gaudy elegance. His daily golf rounds on the Burnham Wood course, down on the Indiana state line, where his brothels used to blink ruddy windows, account for his 185-pound physique. He -has trained down from 235 pounds. Friends say he has been in training for Leavenworth. Razz for Vendor A pastel blue suit and a morningsky gray hat touched off his tan and his dusky eyes. A sweeping smile for the curious gave one aspect of his personality. A reprimand to a too-hopeful hot dog vendor gave another. “Scram, son, that’s a racket,” Capone told him. Federal Judge James H. Wilkerson, who will sit at the trial, was expected to start actual legal moves in the case today. A venire of 100 was ordered to appear before him for qualification. Meantime, the roster of notorious gang leaders and underlings called by the government as witnesses was adding check marks as they slipped into the city and went into hiding in hotels. Torrio Is on Hand Johnny Torrio, once the head master of the Chicago gangsters and the man who brought Capone here and taught him how to rule with a smile j and a gun and punish with “a; ride” and "the spot,” now the dictator of the Long island liquor racket, was said to have arrived.

Other witnesses ens.cribed are Louis La Cava, Torrio’s former secretary; “Diamond” Louis Cohen, publisher of the Cicero Tribune; Fried Ries, former gambling house keeper, and “two-gun” Louis Alterie, former Capone lieutenant, known on his Colorado ranch as “Diamond Jack” Alterie. From them and others the government hopes to draw admissions of of how Capone collected his gains from speakeasy and brothel, and how he scattered them by the handful in thousand-dollar bills to tradesmen, salesmen, hotel keepers, gamblers and “pals.”

CITY-WIDE FIR E OBSERVANCE ON Prevention Week Started With Inspection. Indianapolis citizens today started observance of fire prevention week by preventing all fires up to noon. By 12:30 this afternoon, the only run made by fire department was in response to a false alarm, accidentally turned in.

Furgason, fire prevention chief, pointing out fire hazards which should be removed. Ihe Chamber of Commerce fire prevention committee is co-operat-ing in the annual campaign.

COUPLE'S LIFE SAVINGS LOST Distracted Wife Appeals to Possible Finder. Dreams of some day owning a little business have been shattered for Mr. and Mrs. William Thorpe, 220 South Harris street. Their savings of a lifetime either have been lost of stolen. A year ago, Thorpe and his wife, a middle-aged couple, had amassed a sum of several hundred dollars. Thorpe became uneasy because of bank failures and withdrew his savings from deposit. Since then he has carried the money with him wherever he went. He has added to the sum as he could find employment. For the last several months Thorpe has been unemployed.

Saturday night the money vanished. Thorpe doesn’t know whether he lost It or whether his pocket was picked. His distracted wife has appealed to any person who might have found the money on Oliver, Wabash or Washington streets to return at least a part of the savings.

LESLIE FIRM IN STAND AGAINST EXTRA SESSION Legislature Would Repeat Tax Failure, Governor’s Answer to Plea. Despite new pleas for a special legislative session on the tax tangle, Govemot Harry G. Leslie today remained unmoved and still opposed to the plan. Previously he had pointed ,0114, that since the legislature failetTTo arrive at a tax solution in the 1931 regular session and the personnel remains unchanged a special session could promise no better result.
