M’CARDLE MAY LOSE REINS IN UTILITY BOARD Public Service Commission Chairmanship Involved in Political Fight. BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY Republican politicians are beginning to feel this isn't a good year to be too openly “utility minded.” especially with a strenuous election contest scheduled. So a movement is under way to oust the veteran John W. McCardle from the position of chairman of the public service commission. A direct order from Governor Harry G. Leslie may be necessary to perform the feat, however, and there, is much speculation as to whether or not it will be forthcoming. The rhairmanship election is set for May 1. Singleton or Ellis Choice for a successor to McCardLft is between the two other Republican commissioners—Frank T. Singleton and Howell Ellis. Singleton once served a term as chairman, breaking for a year the long succession of re-elections of McCardle.

But recently Singleton incurred animosity of Commisisoner Harry K. Cuthbertson. stormy petrel of commission aflairs, who would be unlikely to support the Singleton candidacy for cnairmanship. In addition, Singleton is busy enough on the matter of .his reappointment, which will come up July 1. For a long time it was predicted Leslie would not reappoint Singleton, but the commissioner has established such a record in the public interest recently that his reappointment may be considered an asset, it has been pointed out. * Recent Vote Recalled Therefore, if the McCardle ouster 1? realized the mantle of the chairmanship may fall on the shoulders of Ellis, youngest of the commissioners. Both Ellis and Singleton dissented from McCardle and Commissioners Jere West and Cuthbertson in the North Manchester decision, which practically precludes public ownership by cities linked in a big utility power loop, and more recently in the rate raising provision of the Indianapolis Water Company compromise settlement,. McCardle is the only commissioner in history to be reappointed four times. FISHERMAN IS DROWNED Bedford Man Falls Into Tall Rare at rover Plant.

Get In This Contest Now, and Take Money Away From Old Maestro. BY BEN BERNIE (The Old Maestro Himself) Thanks, folks. I knew you’d come through, just as I expected. Since I announced the prosperity limerick contest in Wednesday’s Times, the contest editor wired me that hundreds of limericks have been pouring in. That alone is a big blow to Old Man D. E. Pression. Just think of what it means to the pencil industry and the dictionary trusts! And to Uncle Sam! The stamps consumed are putting money into the government’s pockets (not that it needs it) and Uncle Sam is sending it back to Indianapolis .for extra mail carriers’ wages. That's the spirit. Keep our cash in circulation! Feed the hand that writes you! Remember, Uncle, no hoarding! In case you didn't read Wednesdays Times, I'll tell you what the Prosperity Limerick Contest is all about. All you have to do to win a pair of free tickets for the Ben Bernie dance at the Indiana roof ballroom next Sunday night is write a last line for the unfinished limerick which appears at the bottom of this article, inclose it with a clipping of the limerick, and send to the contest editor of The Times. You can send in as many different last lines as you wish. There is no limit. Bernie speaking. Every day a pair of free tickets for the Indiana roof's Ben Bernie dance will be awarded to the person sending in the best limerick. Sunday night at the dance I will award a grand prize of $lO to the

IGIIHST WAGE CUTS Sen. Robinson Says Federal Salaries Should Stand. “I am opposed to slashing salaries of federal employes at this time,” Senator Arthur R. Robinson told 150 postal employes at an informal gathering Wednesday in the postofflee. The senator declared he felt the average federal employe is receiving a bare living wage. Care should be taken in cooking cabbage, onions and celery. These vegetables have a tendency to lose their valuable mineral content when cooked too fast.
