DEMOCRATS ARE CHALLENGED TO SHOWJOURAGE Senator Costigan Declares Party Must Map Course to National Recovery. An impressive picture of conditioas facing the nation and need for a constructive party platform was being carried home today by members of the Indiana Democratic Editorial Association, who Saturday night heard their party’s outstanding liberal, Senator Edward P. Costigan of Colorado. “Democraoy will make a supreme mistake if It relies on victory by default in 1932,” Costigan said. “It will neither win nor deserve to win if it pursues the course charted by faithless and insincere spokesmen in a world in which economic storm clouds lower as never before in history. “Democracy will fail,” he said, unless, with Jeffersonian and Wilsonian firmness, it indorses intelligent and truthworthy leadership and a constructive national program capable of giving substantial relief to the general public from pret nt intolerable economic conditions.” Parley’s Fate Seen at Stake Drawing a picture of “our present concentration of wealth and individual economic dependence with millions in direct want,” Costigan insisted only with a constructive national program interpreted by intelligent and trustworthy leadership, capable of correcting present intolerable economic conditions, will the Democratic party win or deserve to win in 1932. “With reference to international relations,” he asserted, “there should be national and international planning designed to establish and maintain constant and prosperous relations under changing conditions between production and consumption,” he said. World Tarleys Urged “International conferences should be held to erect international safeguards against war and to promote understanding and friendliness in peace, common sense and reciprocal reductions in armaments by international agreement. They also should diminish taxation, lessen the threat of war and permit world construction, and participate in the world court with suitable reservations.” "Prompt and substantial reduction should be made of excessive tariff duties, both here and abroad, through statutory action and international agreements for mutually lowered tariff walls to provide wider markets and improved business conditions in this and foreign countries.” Urges Co-opcraUon for Farmers Farm relief would be afforded, Costigan said, “through constant support of co-operative action and by keeping farm credits at a minimum of expense to farmers; also through just taxes and freight rates, stabilized farm prices and

federal aid to avert farm foreclosures and bankruptcy.” Following the line of his fight in congress to obtain passage of the $375,000,000 unemployment relief bill, Costigan proposed: “Federal emergency aid to the states when and as required to save life and relieve extreme human need as a result of prolonged unemployment; a substantial and elastic program of necessary federal and state construction to take up the slack of unemployment, and the substitution of adult for child labor. He also advocated more consistent immigration restriction; legislative steps to shorten working hours and lessen working days without reducing living standards; extensive and effective federal employment agencies; the scientific pursuit of accident, sickness, old age and unemployment insurance. “Improved industrial relations,” he said, “would be brought and costly industrial upheaval avoided through legislation barring the use of the injunction by our courts and emphasizing more definitely the rights and dignity of labor.” Senator Costigan also brought out the need for greater self-govern-ment through the promotion of presidential primaries vfrith a view to the more direct control of presidential elections by the voters. He was introduced by Boyd Gurley, editor of The Times. School Superintendent Shifts GREENCASTLE, Ind., Feb. 29. Warren J. Yount, superintendent of Greencastle public schools since 1927, resigned today to accept the superintency at Bedford, succeeding Merle J. Abbott.

Mounted Division Comes to an End After Thirty Years of Service. The Indianapolis police force became a “horseless” factor in law enforcement today for the first time in thirty years. No longer needed because of the machine age, nine of the ten police horses today grazed in pastures at the Algonquin Riding Club, Kessler boulevard and Thirtieth street. Joe, the tenth mount, was sold last week to a Muncie resident. Three Indianapolis officers are shown in the picture, giving the horses their last workout on city streets Saturday in the sunshine. A few hours later the mounts had been “retired” to pasture. The city’s lease on the old police stables, owned by the AnnheuserBusch Company, located on East Ohio street, expires today and the horses were moved to the riding club to avoid signing anew lease pending their sale. The city paid about $3,600 a year to maintain the horses which, in the last few years, have been of little use other than to head parades, city officials say. The horses first were used about thirty years ago as mounts for officers covering outlying districts. Riding of districts, now covered by radio squad cars, was abandoned during the first Shank administration. Since then the horses have been used by the traffic squad.

FORD STILL IS DRY, AND STILL ' IS FORMER Auto Magnate Thinks ‘Boy Bankers’ Doomed, Better Times on Way. The United Press presents a second exclusive interview with Henry Ford, by Raymond Clapper, manager of the United Press Washington Bureau, and widely known writer on political and economic subjects. Clapper discloses that the famous industrialist is looking ahead with confidence to the revival of business, that he still believes in prohibition and that he favors the re-election of President Hoover. BY RAYMOND CLAPPER United Press Staff Correspondent (Copyright. 1932. bv United Press) DETROIT, Feb. 29.—Henry Ford favors re-election of President Hoover, opposes repeal of the eighteenth amendment, and urges a return to “old-fashioned banking methods.” In an exclusive interview with the United Press, following the revelation that he is staking millions on new models in the belief that the country is ready to buy real values, Ford made their frank declarations: Hoover should be re-elected “in order to capitalize on the experience of his first four years in the White House.” “Prohibition is a necessity of the industrial age,” and must and will be maintained. The “high jinks and racketeering of boy bankers” are over, and with a return to “fundamental banking principles” business will revive. Ford urged Hoover’s re-election "because he has done a first-class job, and as the result of his experience he ought to be of real service to the country.” Do Better Job “It takes a man four years to become thoroughly familiar with such a job as being President,” Ford said. “And there is every reason to believe, as a result of that experience that he would do a better job in the next four years.” Ford told me his views on politics, business and prohibition at his experimental laboratory at Dearborn. These subjects, it was easy to see, interest him despite the pressure of plans to start manufacturing 1,500,000 automobiles this year. “Most of the high jinks of financing is over and I hope we have got rid of much of the racketeering in high finance,” Ford declared, in our discussion of the business outlook. “Unless we are pretty sure we have, there is no use trying to do much. People still are cautious, but at bottom, this country is absolutely sound. I do not say that in a pollyanna sense.” Says Hoover Saw Acts “Mr. Hoover has done more than he is given credit for. He was one of the first to warn the country of coming disaster. Soon after his election and before he took office, he conferred with Andrew Mellon, and the result w&s a series of warnings to the country. Were the warnings heeded? They were not.” ' Ford explained that the warnings

They agree that whatever the disadvantages of having one birthday in four years may be, at least, it is “different.” “Having four in one makes the one worth waiting for,” Ruth Cradick, 506 North Drexel avenue, said.

he had in mind were principally the efforts made in the spring and summer of 1929 through the federal reserve system to tighten credit and put the brakes on stock market speculation. The Detroit industrialist outlined his formula for business recovery as follows: “A lot of people seem to expect that the kind of business they knew previous to 1929 will return. I am sure business will return, but not that kind of business. Easy times are over for a long time in this country. “The only way this country can keep its head above water and come through safe is for every one to start what he can where he is and to keep doing the best he knows as long as he can. That is what makes better conditions.” Ford is unwavering in his faith in prohibition.

GIRLS GOVERN LIE VETERANS FOR ONE DAY Aurora (III.) Men Beg to Be Arrested by Pretty Cops. BY SAM KNOTT United Frcss Staff Correspondent AURORA, 111.. Feb. 29.—Women ran Aurora's affairs today after their own ideals—and not a single man found fault. The men sat back this leap year day and watched the “prettiest and brainiest” women in the city take charge of the city hall, fire department, police station, newspaper and other centers of masculine dominance. The women filled their jobs like veterans, though it must be admitted they were a trifle nervous. Would-be men “prisoners” surrounded every charming police woman, or violated traffic ordinances to attract their attention. Offers of fires “wherever and whenever you want them” poured in on the fire department, and other feminine city officials of the city of 50.000 were kept busy turning down requests for luncheon appointments “to talk over important public business.” With Aurora beauties busy at their one-day jobs, the marriage market suffered. Aurora justices of the peace waited all morning, in vain, for couples to marry “free of charge,” as they had offered, and not a leap year proposal was reported. “Oh, wait until tonight,” said Kathleen Galpin, secretary to the mayor—in real life and today, too. Aurora's city hall was a bower of flowers—the only concession to the feminine influence. Mayor Mildred Pratt, dark-haired president of the Business and Professional Women’s Clubs, and on other days the secretary to city council, ran the city commission with a firm hand when it met today.
