TRUCKING LINES TO BE PROBED BY COMMISSION Public Service Commission Brands Store-Door Plea as Subterfuge. Investigation into alleged operation of uncertiflcated truck lines from Indianapolis throughout the state by companies headed by Tom Snyder, veteran truckman, will be instituted by the public service commission, it was announced today by Commissioner Harry K. Cuthbertson. Testimony of Snyder in the Store Door Delivery case before Cuthbertson will be sent to the attorneygeneral's office with the idea of instituting injunction proceedings against lines operating without permit, the commissioner said. • Both moves are the aftermath of the hearing on petitions for common carrier permits filed by Store Door Delivery, Inc., which terminated abruptly Tuesday afternoon. Snyder is secretary and treasurer of the petitioning company. Cuthbertson made a curtain speech and then dismissed the pending petitions on his own initiative. Flays Truck Official In the speech he charged that Snyder, who also is president of the Central Union Truck Terminal, Inc., and Warehouse Distributing Corporation here, merely was seeking in the Store Door Delivery petitions to get permits to operate truck lines already denied individually, and that, despite this denial, Snyder continue to and in their operation as common carriers. “The sole question is whether Tom Snyder is bigger than the state of Indiana,” Cuthbertson declared. “I’m going to hold that the public service commission, as an agency of this state, is bigger than he is and dismiss these petitions.” Store Door Delivery, Inc., petitions were filed to secure permits for truck lines spreading fanlike from Indianapolis throughout the. state. Evidence to Ogden Their approval was fought by the largest array of railroad and interurban lawyers to appear before the commission in recent years. Cuthbertson said he intends to turn the evidence in the case over to Attorney-General James M. Ogden for injunction action. This includes testimony of Snyder that thirty-four lines operate from his truck terminal now and only fourteen have been granted permits by the. commission. All others were denied, but continued to operate as “contract haulers.” Asa contract hauler operation, even was continued on a line enjoined by court action, according to the testimony. Denial Was Expected Charles S. Raugh, president of the Store Door Delivery, Inc., stated after the hearing that it was expected they would be turned down and that coming to the commission was “just routine.” The trucks will continue to operate without certificates, unless halted by court order, it was indicated. Raugh says that large railroads operate trucks on huge interstate shipments and pay no attention to the public service commission requirements. Cuthbertson admitted that the truck lines in Indiana are considerably out of hand so far as commission control is concerned. Young Offender Eludes Priest A 15-year-old boy who escaped from the custody of the Rev. Thomas McGrath, Terre Haute, at the Union station Monday night, was sought today by police. The youth, Oennis Watts, Logansport, was being taken to the Gibault home in Terre Haute. He had been convicted of a minor offense in juvenile court.

Most of the committee members signified their belief that the parking ban from 7 to 9:15 was “a good thing,” but said they were asking its repeal to satisfy business men. An amendment providing that

GANDHI MAY BE DEPORTED IF HE RENEWSREVOLT Transfer of Mahatma to Island Territory Urged in House of Lords. BY H. L. PERCY United Press Staff Correspondent LONDON, Nov. 25.—The Mahatma Gandhi has been threatened with deportation if he foments further disturbances in India. The threat came Tuesday night in a demand by Lord Elibank, former undersecretary of state for colonies, speaking in the house of lords. “Gandhi frequently has told us that he wants us out of India,” Lord Elibank said. “If that is his proposal, let us do unto Gandhi what Gandhi wants done to us.” Lord Elibank suggested that the

leader of the Indian Nationalists be sent to some island in Archipelago, such as the Adaman islands, if he continues his campaign against British rule in India. Lord Lothian, under-secretary of state for India, told the house of lords that the government intends to suppress Indian terrorism, which he said has created a grave situation. “It is the government’s duty to prevent a body of men from deflecting the. course of political progress through terrorism and assassination.” Lord Lothian said. “Drastic action must be taken

to end the menace. It is no exaggeration to say that every government official in some districts of Bengal, executes his duty in deadly peril of his life.” Lord Brentford, former home secretary. said that since Gandhi, the Indian nationalist leader, started his civil disobedience campaign at least twelve Englishmen have been murdered or murderously attacked.
