WAGE SLASHES, LAYOFFS LOOM IN STATEHOOSE Large Deficit Disclosed: Highway Funds Borrowed. Salary slashes and wholesale discharge of employes looms for state departments and Institutions, it was learned today. Governor Harry G. Leslie admitted this policy already has been put into effect secretly in state institutions. So far. the statehouse has been affected little, but is next on the list. Action will follow the primary election, it was said. Figures on file with Floyd E Williamson, state auditor, disclose the state had a deficit of $311,625.97 for the first six months of the fiscal year, which commenced Oct. 1. and was only saved from a genuine showing in the red figure column by having taken $2,000,000 from state highway funds and putting it into the general fund. Move Held Illegal This procedure was declared illegal in an official opinion from At-torney-General James M. Ogden, but the state administration needed the money and took it. One of the boasts of the Leslie regime is that state fiscal affairs are in good condition and the constitutional provision of never accumulating a debt has continued. It was admitted at the time the $2,000,000 was taken from the highway department that the general fund would not be levied on to pay it back. But deep holes were made in this sum during the last month, so departments will be forced to trim expenditures, it appears. The state, as does other governmental units, faces the possibility of revenue loss through failure of the spring tax payments and there Is no possibility of taking any more millions from the state highway funds. Sensing this possibility, the state highway department has speeded up contracting for payment and making road maintenance plans to obligate all funds which can be anticipated from the federal government, state automobile license and gasoline tax. Three Typists Out The chain store tax pay roll will be cut to the vanishing point shortly after the primary election. Three typists were released by L. O. Johnson, chief of the department. Saturday. The tax will be collected soon so that only a nominal force of the thirty-three employes will be needed to carry on the work. Johnson said today. The department operates a part of the state tax board, where a cut in their salaries or personnel or both will be necessary to keep within the budget during the remainder of the year.

IMMEDIATE TAX RELIEF DEMANDED BY FISCHER Tells Women Hundreds Facing Loss of Their Homes. Pleading for immediate and substantial relief. James E.

JUST A SKIN GAME

Woman Loses $405 in ‘Fur Deal’

RABBIT skins—forty-one of them—were used in a baby seal “akin” game which cost the victim $405. So far the swindlers have the Jump on the law. A maa known only to her as Cohen appeared Saturday at the home of Mrs. Caroline Hollingsworth. 227 4 East Ohio street, and was making inquiries about renting a room when another man. who said he was Paul Meton. appeared with forty-one pieces of fur-covered skin. Meton interrupted the room-renting negotiations. But Cohen was not offended. "My, oh. my." said Cohen, as he gazrd upon the skins. "That i* the first baby seal fur Ive seen since the war.'* Cohen positively had to have two of the skins” to make a scarf for his wife. hf harf lnt .

Meton explained he had just arrived from Alaska and was en route to Phoenix. Ariz.. where he said his brother had died in a sanitarium. He exhibited a telegram which showed the brother was dead. Cohen left, without engaging a room. Shortly afterward he telephoned Mrs. Hollingsworth that she must hold Meton "at all casts” until Cohen could return with the money for two of the skins. She told Meton. But there was a train he must catch regardless of Cohen. a m a FINALLY in a burst of what appeared to be generosity, especially since Meton had said he Intended to have a coat made from the furs for his mother, he offered to sell the whole lot to Mrs. Hollingsworth. “I’ve got only $405,” she explained. Meton appeared satisfied. He went to a bank with Mrs. Hollingsworth. She withdrew $405 and gave It to Meton and he left the furs with her. Hours passed. Cohen did not return. Meton apparently caught that train. Mrs. Hollingsworth had the furs examined and learned to her dismav that forty-one rabbits had provided the supposed seal skin. Then she called police.

ZONING BOARD RULE UPHELD Court Approves Ban Put on Gas Station. Circuit Judge Harry O. Chamberlin upheld the decision of the city's zoning board in denying John M Riley permission to erect a filling station at the northwest corner of TANARUS! irty-fourth and Meridian streets. In his ruling. Chamberlin also upheld the circuit court's right to review' any decision o.' the board of zoning appeals. The board had questioned jurisdiction of the court. Chamberlin ruled that “a filling station at the location asked would tend to decrease values of adjoining private homes; that there would be an added hazard to school children: that a filling station there would be the entering wedge for the creation of anew business district in that neighborhood, not contemplated by school authorities and inimical to the interest of school children aand that there has teen no public or community demand for a filling station at that point." Riley had petitioned the board for a variance from the existing zoning ordinance and the judge held the board's ruling wras “doing the greatest good for the greatest number.”

•FORGOTTEN MILLIONS’ OF U. S. REVEALED Chicago Economists Pres* Plan to Put Huge Sum in Circulation. By i niteil Prrtt CHICAGO. May 2.—A plan whereby the United States treasury could reach figuratively into its pocket and pull out a “forgotten” hundred million-dollar melon was proposed today by Chicago economists. The novel proposal has as Its congressional sponsor Representative Henry T. Rainey,* Democratic majority leader. During the Civil war. the great Chicago fire, the San Francisco earthquake, the Johnstown flood, the Florida hurricane and other major disasters, large sums of paper currency were destroyed. Gold in the treasury vaults to redeem this vanished currency still is held to cover money that no longer exists. The sum, Professor Cyril O’Donnell of De Paul university and other economists believe, approximates $100,000,000. They propose passage by congress of legislation making this sum available for use by." the government.

VOTE INTEREST I OF U. S. TURNED ON CALIFORNIA Democrats in 3-Cornered Presidential Fight on West Coast. Bv United Pm* SACRAMENTO. Cal. May 2. Political interest turned to California today when Democrats closed a three-cornered fight for convention delegates and Republicans prepared to unite at Tuesday's primaries solidly behind President Hoover. With the unopposed Republican delegation' pledged to California's "favorite son,’’ interest in the campaign centered on Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt. ex-Governor Alfred E. Smith and Speaker John N. Garner, Democratic opponents. Garner forces, headed by William G. McAdoo, ex-sccretr y of the treasury and now a Los Angeles attorney, counted most of their strength in : southern California.

Democrats enter the primaries with 947.462 registered voters, the largest number California ever gave the party.

Governor James Rolph Jr. leads the single Republican ticket. The Republicans will vote on forty-seven delegates, each with a full convention vote. Outnumbering the Democrats in registrations by more than half a mililon, the Republicans sought as large a vote as possible to “show confidence in President Hoover.”

VICTORY SEEN FOR OLD AGE PENSIONS Deluse Believe* Candidate* Who Favor Measure Will Win. Confidence that legislative candidates favorable to old age pensions will be victors in the primary election Tuesday was expressed today by Otto P. Deluse of Indianapolis, chairman of the Indiana old age pension commission of the Fraternal Order of Eagles. Recalling that a pension bill was passed by the 1931 Indiana general assembly, he said that a like measure whioh the order will have introduced in the 1933 session hardly is likely to meet the fate of the other measure, which failed because of veto. “Great strides have been made in the pension movement during the last year and a half," Deluse continued. "Five more states have entered the pension ranks. In January, a committee of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States indorsed the principle of old age pensions and retirement annuities.”

HOOVER FIGHTS TO SALVAGE HIS FURLOUGH PLAN Tilson Tells President Thousands May Lose Jobs. By United Pm* WASHINGTON. May 2—President Herbert Hoover, in fighting mood, held hurried conferences at the White House today with minority leaders of the house in an effort to salvage his furlough plan, and some other phases of the $200,000000 economy bill. The President was advised by Representatives Snell. ißep.. N. Y.) and Tilson (Rep.. Conni. that there still is some possibility the Hoover furlough plan, perhaps in modified form, would be approved by the house for certain classes of government workers. Fears Loss of Jobs Tilson said that “the worst thing we have to face in the whole economy mixup Is the senate’s 10 per cent flat cut in all appropriations. "This will throw thousands of government workers out of jobs." Tilson said, apparently quoting the President, "and will be bad for the morale of the service—it would be bad all around. “The furlough plan, however, would enable us to hire some of these people and take up the slack, but otherwise we can't do anything about it.” The $200,000,000 economy bill has been all but wrecked in the house. The parts that remain are principally those favored by Mr. Hoover, ar.d it was decided an effort would be made to round out the program with other administration features. The senate finance committee, revising the billion dollar revenue bill, approved graduated taxes on telephone and telegraph messages and struck out the house provision exempting news messages. Add to Wort Tax The committee added additional tax burdens today to wort, used exclusively in the making of beer, by raising the rate from 10 to 15 cents a gallon. The original house rate was 5 cents a gallon. Senator Bingham (Rep., Conn.) said the tax on malt syrup was reduced from 4 to 3 cents a pound. Leaders of the senate stock market investigation were out of town and plans for renewing the inquiry awaited their return. The Goldsborough bill to restore commodity prices was ordered on to the house floor under the extraordinary procedure instituted by house leaders. Senator Shortridge (Rep.. Cal.) defended his bill for the exclusion of Filipinos, in testimony before the senate immigration committee. The house agriculture committee reported favorably on a senate bill to appropriate $1,000,000 for the fight against grasshoppers in western states.

G. 0. P. WORKERS SAD Statehouse Crew Assessed 5 Per Cent of Pay. Republican employes at the statehouse are singing the blues today due to the sad news that their state committee campaign assessment is to be 5 per cent of their annual salary, w'hich makes it the largest ever levied. Many are particularly sad because they feel that G. O. P. chances for victory in the fall are at. least a great deal less hopeful than usual, and they are to pay a big price for a “dead horse.” Highest previous assessment in any election was 3 per cent, while in many departments it was kept at 2’a per cent. The 5 per cent is modernized in that employes have been given six months to pay.
