BUDGET PUTS ‘QUIETUS’ ON CUT FOR NAVY Hoover Is Not Disposed to Scuttle Fleet at All, Figures Show. DECREASES NOT 'REAL’ More Money to Be Spent Next Year Than in Any of Last Decade. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scripps-Howard Foreltn Editor WASHINGTON, Dec. 9. —President Hoover is not going to sink the navy, the recent hullabaloo to the contrary notwithstanding. Instead, according to the 1933 budget, transmitted to congress today, more money will be expended building new warships during the next fiscal year than in any of the last decade. The money available for the coming year, according to the President's budget message, “will provide for normal progress in construction of every vessel now authorized by law and permitted under treaty restrictions, except six destroyers, the laying down of which has been postponed.” “In addition,” he announced, “one more eight-inch gun cruiser is to be laid sown in January, 1933, which is the earliest date permitted under the terms of the London treaty.” Truth Is in Between No fighting vessel will be decommissioned, no navy yards or training schools will be closed, and no enlisted men are to be laid off — save perhaps in the marine corps where 15,343 men are provided for in 1933 as against 17,500 as at present. The big navy crowd’s charges that the fleet was to be scuttled, and the administration’s claims of vast economies in the naval establishment in 1933, therefore, both are beside the mark. The truth, as usual, comes betwixt and between. The navy department budget for the next fiscal year calls for $342,606,000. This year’s budget calls for $359,694,000. This looks like a decrease for next year of $17,088,000. Decreases Arc “Apparent” Furthermore next year’s naval budget calls for only $31,400,000 for the construction of new vessels, as against $38,550,000 for this year—another apparent reduction of $7,150,000. These decreases, however, are apparent rather than real. “When the cash balances to be carried forward from prior years, and the amount to be made available from the naval supply account fund, are taken into consideration,” the President points out, “the total that will be available for ship construction in 1933 is estimated at $57,000,000.” Expenditures in 1923, in round figures, were $40,600,000; 1924, $41,700,000; 1925, $34,000,000; 1926, $25,000.000; 1927, $27,500,000; 1928, $37,000,000; 1929, $46,700,000; 1930, $50,000,000, and 1931, $38,000,000. For 1932—ending next July I—it is estimated the expenditures will amount to $53,000 000. WUI Balance Exactly The outlay for new ships this year and next, therefore, exceeds that of any year in the last ten. Similarly, the total budget for the navy for next year, when corrected to include the funds to be made available by transfer, instead of showing a decrease, will balance almost exactly the present corrected budget. Some $6,000,000 will be forthcoming from the present naval supply account; $1,750,000 from the clothing and small stores fund; $25,000,000 from continuing and unexpended appropriations, and about $6,000.000 of the 1932 appropriation, which will not be used, for a total of $38,750,000.

The Broadsides Continue These carry-overs added to the $342,606,000 foot up to more than $330,000,000 available for expenditure next year against an almost identical sum for this year. Meantime, as congress assembles, William Howard Gardiner, president of the Navy League, continues his broadsides against Mr. Hoover. Instead of apologizing for saying Mr. Hoover shows "abysmal ignorance" in things naval, he virtually repeats the charge. Accusing the President of showig "virtually a total lack of appreciation of at least some of the reasons why navies are maintained,” Gardiner urges that congress determine whether the general budgetary policy of Mr. Hoover toward the United States navy is based on adequate knowledge. ARCHITECTS TO CONVENE City Man Will Preside at Church Builders’ New York Parley. A. F.

NEW DETENTION HOME IS URGED Commissioners Tell Critics Change Is Considered. Criticism of overcrowded conditions at the Marion county juvenile detention home, 225 East Michigan street, , were intended to point out the need of obtaining anew building for the home, Mrs. Joseph J. Daniels, chairman of the child welfare committee of the League of Women Voters, said today. Lease on the Michigan street structure expires Jan. 1, Mrs. said. “We have conferred with county commissioners,” said Mrs. Daniels, “and have found they are considering the leasing of some other building for the detention home after the first of the year.” Plans for further appeal to the commissioners to correct conditions by moving the institution will be discussed Friday morning by the welfare committee of the Indianapolis Council of Social Agencies. “The work of the committee will not be an investigation,” said Miss Florence Taggart, chairman of the council’s committee. Every one who has seen the present building realizes it is inadequate. We are sure many biuldings are available that are more suitable for care of these children.” REALTORS TO ELECT Three Directors Will Be Named Thursday.

The Indianapolis Times

Forest Wyrick is happy because he is nearly well and he will spend Christmas at home. Riley hospital is not bad at all, he admits, but there's no place like home for a boy on Santa Claus day.

It’s One Christmas That Means a Lot to Spunky Forest. Christmas this year will mean a lot to Forest Wyrick, 11, who lives near Greenwood. It will mean not only a hoped-for visit by Santa Claus, but also a reunion with his father and mother and younger brother and sister, after three long months in the James Whitcomb Riley hospital for children. Forest was taken to the hospital eleven weeks ago, suffering with a ruptured appendix. Operated on the same day, he has suffered two relapses. “We didn’ think he would recover, but he had so much grit he pulled through despite our fears,” said Miss Mina Davidson, assistant superintendent of nurses. The Smile That Stays “Aw, it’s ’cause I wanted to go home,” said Forest. “He's been a good patient,” said Miss Davidson, “cheering newly admitted patients with his sunny disposition.” But cheerful as he is, still he feels pangs of loneliness for his parents and his brother and sister. Now, as he frequently looks out of the window, for before Christmas day he will be able to run and play at home. Forest will be one of fifty patients at the Riley hospital who will leave the hospital in time to reach their homes by Christmas, although few of them have been confined to the hospital as long as Forest. For some, Christmas merely will be a reprieve, returning to the hospital for further treatment after the holidays. Returned Both Times One of the happiest of these will be little Patricia Lark, 3, Hammond, who not only will end nine months confinement at the hospital, but on Christmas day will be able to eat. food other than liquids. Patricia was taken to the hospital in July, suffering with an obstruction in her esophagus which made it difficult for her even to swallow. An operation revealed a piece of a celluloid toy in her throat This was removed, but granular tissue which had formed around the celluloid still makes eating difficult. Twice she has been permited to return home, but each time had to return shortly afterward. This time, she is going home for good, she hopes. For the remainder of the 200 little patients who will miss their family fireside Christmas eve, Santa Claus will pay a special visit at the hospital. HUNT TWO INTRUDERS Pair Attempts to Enter Home of Police Captain. Two men who attempted to force their way into the home of Captain and Mrs. Ed Helm, 915 North Chester avenue, are sought today by police. The attempt was made late Tuesd. y while Helm w’as on duty at police headquarters. Mrs. Helm told police and her husband the man refused to tell her why they wanted to enter the house, except “you’ll und out when we get that guy.” She was able to slam and lock the doer and bar them out, she said. Cardinals to Donate to Poor B’l United I’ress VATICAN CITY, Dec. 9.—Cardinal Gennaro Granito Pignatelli Di Belmonte, dean of the college of cardinals, told Pope Pius XI today that cardinals throughout the world have renounced the usual heavy expense of Christmas greeting and will devote the money saved to the pope’s unemployment fund.

MILK FARMERS DECLARE WAR UN DAIRY POOL Charge Producers’ Earnings Are Too Low; Band to Fight Combine. RETAIL GOUGE HINTED Assert Consumers Pay 40 Cents a Gallon; Cost Price 11 Cents. Charging prices paid milk producers are too low, a group of dairy farmers in the Indianapolis district has declared war on an eight-county milk pool organized recently. Local independent organizations of dairy farmers are being formed at meetings being held in various townships in an effort to obtain a higher price for producers, it was announced today. “Price paid for milk by Indianapolis distributers is the lowest in any section of the country, we have been informed,”, said Emsley W. Johnson, attorney and owner of a dairy herd, who is speaking at meetings of dairy farmers. “Owners in this vicinity are selling milk for an average of 11 cents a gallon, some much lower, while the retail price averages 40 cents a gallon. Propose U. S. Inquiry “We propose to ask the United States secretary of agriculture to loan us a government expert to conduct an investigation to determine whether we are getting a fair price for our milk. “In the opinion of some experts, the producer should receive half of the retail price of milk. We are bei ing forced to sell milk below cost of I production now. Some of us would like to quit the business, but under present conditions we can’t even sell our cows.” Approximately 150 dairy farmers attended a meeting held at the New Augusta school Tuesday night. Representatives of the independent group declared they called the meeting to protest pool conditions, while pool officials insisted the meeting was one of a series being held by the pool to explain its workings. Other Sessions Called Johnson said similar meetings had been held by the independent group at Clermont and Bunker Hill this week, and that another would be held in Greenwood Saturday night, other meeting at New Augusta next Wednesday, according to James R. Moore, pool publicity director. The milk pool agreement was reached at a meeting Nov. 20 attended by a majority of Indianapolis milk distributors and by representatives of the 3,500 or 4,500 dairy producers in eight counties. It was formed through the newly organized Central Indiana Dairymen’s Association, Inc., of which Carl L. Hedges is manager. In announcing the pool agreement Hedges said it was expected to result in a more uniform price for producers, without affecting the price paid by consumers. Protesting farmers charge the milk pool contract does not set a definite price and that to sign it would be ruinous to their business. Denies Prices Are Low The price paid producers is regulated, Hedges said, by a committee composed of three distributers and three producers. Counties represented in the pool are Marion, Hancock, Hamilton, Johnson, Shelby, Morgar., Hendricks and Boone. Denial that prices paid producers here are lower than elsewhere was made by Moore. “Retail prices for milk in this district are lower than in other large cities of the country,” he said. “Local producers are paid higher in proportion to the retail price than producers in any other metropolitan district in the central west.” *

RESENT MARKET ROW PUBLICITY Standholders Are Irked at Improvements Conflict. City market standholders today decried “unfair publicity,” which they charge the market is receiving as a result of the conflict between councilmen and the safety board over proposed improvements. Improvements have been recommended by the council by standholders, but these are not those for which the safety board is asking the council to appropriate $1,500. The board hopes to build a canopy and waiting room to attract trade to the east market where majority of stands are empty. P. J. O’Mahoney, City Market Association president, declared that “standholders believe spending of $1,500 on the east market would be a waste of money and would not improve conditions.” The council will vote on the request for $1,500 at a special meeting Thursday noon.

Cameron declared he wanted cooperation of citizens, and that "the law will be backed up in days, dollars and cents here.” Charged with driving fifty-seven miles an hour on Washington boulevard Tuesday, Clifford Green, 15, of 2728 North Pennsylvania street, had no explanation to offer the court. But his mother, called before the bench by Cameron, said her boy “was good and his car couldn’t go that fast.” “The officer says he chased him nine blocks at nearly sixty miles an hour,” Cameron said. “If I were you I’d take that boy to the woodshed and give him some of the old-time treatment.” Cameron withheld judgment, pending further investigation of the case and the outcome of the treatment recommended.

Former Official Sentenced EVANSVILLE, Ind., Dec. 9.—Convicted of conspiracy to defraud in courthouse wiring project, Allen P.

Here are three good answers to i the charge that college girls are sloppy. “Judge for yourself,” snapped Miss Josephine Meloy, 3117 Park avenue (above, left), journalism student, when asked if Butler coI cds are sloppy. Miss Agnes Kalleen, 3841 Washington boulevard (above, right), nd Miss Helen Louise Langston, J 1 Hampton drive (below), gave ilent evidence to the falsity of he charge, insofar as Butler is concerned. BY BEATRICE BURGAN “Sloppy Co-ed,” the latest theme ong of the eastern professor who created a storm a year or so ago by advising college boys to be snobs, has been received with sneers in local collegiate circles. The college women acquaintances of Dr. Robert Emmons Rogers of the Massachusetts Institute *of Technology, may be sloppy, but ; graduates and deans of Indianapolis ! schools, maintain college women | here know the advantage of being j well-groomed. Rogers this week stated that the more education a woman obtains, the more sloppy she grows. Possibility that the urban university has the advantage of city students was suggested by Mrs. Alice Bidwell Wesenberg, chairman of the Women’s Council at Butler. “They’re Seldom Sloppy” “The college girl of the present day is seldom sloppy in appearance,” she said. “There never has been a time when the women students at our universities have been more suitably and carefully dressed I than they are today. “Butler university drawing, as it does, largely from the city for its students has, perhaps, an unusually will groomed group of girls among its co-eds,” she explained. Dean Virginia Cravens of Indiana Central college resents Dr. Roger’s statement. “The more cultured a woman becomes, the more careful she is of her appearance,” she said. “The college woman usually is not extravagantly dressed but she always appears in good taste. “The old era of swagger and nonchalance may have been mistaken for sloppiness but the real woman is more and more particular about her appearance.” There’s Competition, Too Betty Jane Barrett, who attended Wellesley and was graduated from Butler, maintains that the college degree does not affect a woman’s habit of dress to any great extent. “Some women naturally are careful about their appearance, while others are indifferent. The college woman learns to meet the competition in college by taking advantage of her endowment of good looks. She learns she must maintain a good appearance to keep up with her competitors. “Then when she finishes college she has formed a habit. If she is placed in a position in contact with the public she will continue to look her best. Perhaps if she’s pushed back in a corner where she’s never seen, she may become a little careless,” she concluded. Dr. Rogers, professor of English at the Massachusetts school, has j been greeted by a tirade of denials from college graduates and deans. Poison Weed Kills Cattle ROCHESTER, Ind., Dec. 9.—Loss of several hundreds of dollars was suffered by Err Biddinger, farmer, four miles north of here when ten steers died after eating a poisonous weed.

POLICE BALKED IN DEATH HUNT Detective Chief Asks Public Aid in Search. The “vampire killer” has eluded police for eight days. And today city detectives admitted that they can not name the slayer of Mrs. Nettie Bertram, 55, believed to have been run down Dec. 1 by a hit-run driver. "We are absolutely without a clew to follow,” Detective Chief Fred Simon said. Whether he be a deliberate slayer or a coward, hiding in panic, the man who is believed fatally to have injured Mrs. Bertram, sorority house maid, spirited her body to a lonely spot, and tossed it near the side of a road, has covered his tracks so well that Simon today asserted: “The mystery is one of the toughest to solve we ever have had.” Admitting that his officers are baffled, Simon appealed to the public for information that might lead to the arrest of the killer. Chief Simon asserted that the detective department will welcome any type of information, no matter how unimportant it might seem, that possibly will aid in the capture of the hit-run driver. “We have traced thirty-five to forty clews on cars, running them' down without success,” said Simon. “We must have more information.*' Three suspects have been questioned in connection with the crime, but police say none is linked definitely to its commission. One of the suspects was released Tuesday afternoon and another this morning. The third was to be released today. STORE TQJEEBRATE Sears, Roebuck Plans to Open Addition Floor. Formal celebration of opening of the first floor of the new three-story addition to the Sears, Roebuck & Cos. store will be held Thursday. Originally it was intended to complete the entire three floors oil the addition and hold one celebration, but the need for additional space resulted in decision to use the floors as fast as they are completed, said Manager J. Burke. Excavation was started early in September and the addition basement was opened Nov. 28. The entire store will be decorated for the first floor opening. The WFBM concert orchestra will play, and favors will be given to women visitors. Free bus service will be maintained during the day and evening. Special displays of gift merchandise will be shown. Opening of the floor will give the men’s section additional display place. The shoe section also will be given increased space in the addition, as will the luncheonette and fountain service. LI BO OKS Business Branch Places Six New Volumes in Circulation. New books placed in circulation this week at the business branch library include: “Magazine Article,” by Crawford; “Formal Corporate Practice, Working Methods and Systems,” b# Crow; “Elements of Practical Statistics,” by Harper; “Brench Group and Chain Banking,” by Cartinhour; “Arbitage in Securities,” by Weinstein, and “Economic Problems and Modern Life,” by Patterson.

The survey will require the remainder of the school year for completion, although Stuart will be absent from his duties here only about ten days, Stetson said. Stuart and Dr. D. H. Eikenberry, professor of education at Ohio State university, wiJ comprise a special committee to direct the survey of the Chicago high school system. The work will parallel his special work here, where he now is conducting studies preliminary to establishing a junior high school system.

PROPOSED CALL OF LEGISLATURE GAINS IMPETUS Leaders of Both Parties For It, If Tax Plan Is Reached in Advance. HOLMES SUGGESTS IDEA Thinks First Act Should Be Chain Store Change to Aid General Fund. Republican legislators and Democratic district leaders have indicated by a large majority, in the incomplete returns received at party headquarters, that they favor a special session of the legislature, with “certain reservations.” However, G. O. P. district committeemen are in the main opposed to the idea, and stand of Democratic legislators as a whole is unknown. as they have net ben polled. Walter Myers, Speaker of the 1931 house, who probably would wield the gavel if a special session were called, declared today, that he leans toward the opinion that the session might solve present tax evils. Wants Program First “I would favor a special session if committees from the house and the senate could work out a possible tax program before the session would be convened. “These committees should meet ex-officio and agree on some plan, for that is the only practical way I see of getting results from such session.” Myers pointed out that if the I session is to result in real benefit to the citizens of Indiana, it wofild be necessary for both parties to I reach a gentlemen’s agreement.” The same suggestion has been advanced by State Senator C. Oliver Holmes of Gary, who is expected to be a candidate for the Republii can nomination of Lieutenant-Gov-ernor. Holmes Chimes In “Calling a special session would ce futile and a waste of time and money unless a tax program has been agreed upon.” he said. Senator Holmes believes one of the first acts of the legislature should be to amend the state chain store tax law so a large portion of the revenue would be diverted to i the general fund, instead of all of it J going to the state school levy, as at j present. The special session has been precipitated as a result of the pleas from all sections of the state that the overwhelming tax burden be lifted from real property and equalized through income and sales taxes. Random movements were unified by the Indiana Farm Bureau Federation, which circulated petitions for a special session and which were signed by 40,000 Hoosiers. Leslie “Fools ’Em” These were to be presented to Governor Harry G. Leslie when the delegates to the bureau’s state convention marched to the statehouse in a body. However, Leslie was in Boston praising the Indiana tax system so the petitions were left in his office. Urged by bureau leaders, Elza O. Rogers, Republican state chairman, is polling legislators and district chairmen of his party; while R. Earl | Peters, the Democratic chief, is do- : mg the same with his district chairi men. Os the twenty-six G. O. P. district chairmen and vice-chairmen, eleven have replied, six opposing the call; three favoring one with reservations and two undecided. Republicans Are Listed Republicans opposing are: Raymond S. Springer of Connersville, Sixth district; Schuyler A. Haas, Indianapolis, Seventh district; Ira J. Wilson of Muncie, Eighth district; James Showalter, Eleventh district and chairman of the state board of tax commissioners; David M. Hoover of Elkhart, Thirteenth district, and Mrs. M. P. Redman of Princeton, First district. Those for the session with reservations are: Mrs. Paul C. Wetter of Indianapolis, Seventh district; Mrs. Clara Emrich of Ft. Wayne, j Twelfth district, and W. J.
