DALE TO FIGHT CONVICTION IN HIGHER COORTS Muncie Mayor, Undaunted by Guilty Verdict, to Appeal Case. (Continued From Pagr 1) son, to hire an ex-convtct to get its evidence,” Dale said. "It must have believed U proper for the council to hire Ed Quirk for the purpose of getting something on the mayor,’ as he indicated by his testimony. Conversation Was Barred ‘ The jury must have believed the Jurer, and failed to believe testimony of Warren P. Allender, federal dry agent.” The mayor addeed that if "Allender had been permitted to relate a converstaion in which he told me, a year ago, that Muncie was the cleanest city in Indiana, and that if other cities in the state were as rlean, there would be no need for an enforcement division at Indianapolis, the verdict might have been different.” The indictment, returned by a federal grand jury May 4, charged defendants had conspired to permit certain bootleggers and gamblers to operate in Muncie, with police protection. It wa* charged that, after federal operatives began investigation in Muncie, police sought to hamper the probe and intimidate investigators and witnesses by “attempting to arrest” Joseph H. Denny, special prohibition investigator, and others. Cleanup of City Shown Government witnesses testified Dale and Massey conspired to have Hoover transport liquor to Indianapolis for tne Democratic state convention. and also that they conspired to provide liquor for the Muncie police ball. The defense brought on numerous witnesses to controvert these charges. Defense witnesses suported Dale in his charges that a few weeks after he took office bootleggers, who had prospered before, closed their establishments and moved from Muncie. Dale vehemently denied he and Massey had issued campaign promises that certain bootleggers and gamblers would be permitted to operate, with protection. Before the trial, Dale made two visits to Washington, where he protested to department of justice officials against the alleged frameup. and demanded an investigation of circumstances surrounding his indictment. which was not forthcoming.

Frameup, Sav* Mayor He charged that he was a victim of a political frameup. sponsored by bootleggers, gamblers, and vice chieftains whom he had put out of business when he assumed office Jan. 6, 1930. He added that his arrest was intended to “disrupt his administration.” Dale, active despite, his 65 years and effects of a recent illness, which nearly resulted fatally, was defiant when he took the witness stand during his trial, shouting denials of the government charges. He has had a colorful career, first gaining prominence as editor of the Muncie Post-Democrat. weekly newspaper, which he still publishes, when he fought bitterly against the Ku-Klux Klan. His anti-klan campaign brought two contempt citations from former Judge Clarence W. Dearth of Delaware circuit court. Fined SI,OOO and sentenced to six month on the state farm. Dale's appeal was denied by the state supreme court, but he was pardoned by ex-Govemor Ed Jackson after serving two days. Judge Was Impeached Eventually. Dearth was impeached by the house of representatives, after he had arrested Dale’s newsboys and sought to suppress - the paper, but the judge was acquitted later by the senate. After his election in 1929 as mayor. Dale continued to wage bitter warfare against the Republican organization in Delaware county, and. on the day he took office, fired the entire police force and most other employes holding over from the Hampton Republican administration. He also cancelled a large number of street paving contracts, awarded as one of the final acts of the retiring administration.

U. S. PREFERRED TO BEER

Cheap Wine Cant Keep Him Abroad

TT takes more than beer at 3 cents a glass, wine at 5 cents a quart, rent at $3.50 a month, and women who do your wash at 9 cents a day, to make a naturalized American regret hit allegiance to the flag with the myriad stars and stripes. Adolph Marer, 77, of 1029 East Market street, born in Hungary', has returned from a visit to his native land, and with tales of the cheapness of labor and liquid refreshment. but he always ends up those stories with. “I'm glad I'm back. You couldn’t hire me to live in Europe.” He has seen wine so thick you could cut it like jelly and still he's tickled pink at being able to sit on the front porch of his home at night and see Market street’s arc lights. For folk may call Indianapolis a "9 o'clock town," but Marer relates of cities in Hungary where they have no street lamps and where he went to bed at .7:30 p. m. for want of something better to do. man "'THHE people are so poor over A there. I tipped the washwoman who cared for my shirts 25 cents and she kissed my feet. She said it was as much as she earned in three days. You see. they live on black bread, potatoes Rnd beans,” he explained. The public utilities of Hungary can't be called "gougers,” for they only charge 3-cent-fares, but 3 cents to a Hungarian worker is one-half day's labor. "They don't see a piece of meat in two months, and yet chickens sell for but 9 cents each—not a pound. Coffee and sugar and fruit are costly,” he declares. On one occasion Marer went into a Hungarian bank to obtain small change for a note valued at about $17.50 in American money. "We can’t change it," retorted the banker. "Why not?” Marer asked. “It’s too small. We can only change big money," the banker replied. "I let it go at that.” Marer related. “but I knew the banker was lying. He didn't have the change and was ashamed to say so." mm* THE ancestral ways of living when Marer was a boy are just as they were when he left the “old" country. Cobblers use wooden nails for shoes. Funeral processions are still headed by gravediggers. He visited Rumania and Czechoslovakia. The Czechs he found least affected by the depression of the countries visited. "War widows and mothers of dead soldiers are the tobacco sellers of the country. A visitor always buys his cigars and smoking tobacco from a woman who lost a man in service. But 60 per cent of the money one earns goes back to the government in taxes. The war widow's pay us taxes. Builders of homes are exempt from realty taxes for twenty-five years, he said. Marer was in Berlin the day Hitler received his ballot beating. "It was not riotous as the papers might have you believe. In fact, it was quieter than some of our elections,” he says. mam RUMANIA'S slicing off a portion of Hungary is a thorn in the side of his country. ' They can’t wait until another war comes so they can get that land back. Senator Borah, who favors the return of Hungary’s territories to her would be a hero if he went there. His stand against Rumanian aggression makes him a beloved man," Marer said. ' But would I like to live there again? I should say not. We’re much better off. depression or no depression.”

RESENT CURTIS’ SENATE ACTIONS Some Contend His Rulings Are ‘Autocratic.’ i By Unitnl Fret* WASHINGTON, May 21.—There are a few low rumblings around the senate about the methods that Vice-President Curtis uses in ruling that sometimes unruly body. Some of the senators say he acts like a school master with a roomful oi 6-year-olds. Others pull out the good old word, "autocratic.” That was particularly true the other day when he ordered Senator Huey Long to surrender the floor. The senate overruled Curtis and let Long go on. Persons sitting out in front where they can see the Vice-President say he glowers and at times shows anger as he bangs for order. Some- | times he is pretty short with the senators themselves. He has been known to pound his gavel like a Chinaman beating Abalone steaks when the minority and majority leaders are in whispered conversation. While senators are not supposed to hold conferences on the | floor, the two leaders are usually j considered to be above such reproof. But it hardly seem there is an open rebellion against Curtis. And maybe the chief grumblers are those who have been chastised. ASK HAWAII VINDICATION Business Men Want Congressional Probe in Islands.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

COMPROMISE ON JOBLESS AID IS OIVEN SENATORS Plan Prepared by Five Democrat Leaders Seen Likely to Pass. BY RUTH FINNEY Time* Staff Writer WASHINGTON, May 21.—A compromise federal relief plan outlined to the senate today by five Democratic leaders apparently has enlisted sufficient support to insure its passage. It closely resembles the relief plan of President Herbert Hoover, differing only In its provision for a $500,000,000 bond issue for federal public works. Administration Republicans are not expected to offer the substitute measure which, it is understood, was being prepared at the President's direction. But Speaker John Garner intends to press for passage in the house of his own relief bill carrying an even larger bond issue for federal public works. The senate bill, prepared under the direction of Senators Robert F. Wagner (N. Y.), Joseph T. Robinson (Ark.), Key Pittman <Nev.), Thomas J.'Walsh (Mont.) and Robert J. Bulkley (O.), calls for a $2,300,000,000 relief program. Loans for Cities, States It would authorize the reconstruction finance corporation to use $300,000,000 of Its existing $2,000,000,000 fund for advances to states unable to provide relief for their destitute. Spates would not be required to deposit securities or enter into formal loan agreements, but amounts advanced would be deducted from future federal-aid highway grants. For construction to relieve unemployment the bill proposes that the reconstruction corporation be authorized to borrow an additional $1,500,000,000 and loan it to states, cities, public corporations, limited dividend corporations, and private corporations. All projects built under these loans would have to prove their selJMiquidating character. Forty million dollars of this amount would be set aside to facilitate the financing of agricultural exports. Bond Issue Is Proposed Finally, the program calls for a $500,000,000 bond issue to make possible immediate construction of federal public works already authorized. It does not call for a special tax to pay for retirement of these bonds. The bill being drawn to embody provisions of this program either will specify what public works shall be included, or it will define so closely their nature that only a limited class will be acceptable. Members of the committee do not approve inclusion of reclamation projects. The bill will specify thirty-hour work week on all construction wherever practicable. The public works provision of the program not only promises to supply needed jobs, but at the same time to make the problem of balancing the budget less troublesome. Provides public Construction It does this by transferring from the various annual supply bills for 1933 all construction projects incliided therein. This means that

AIRPLANE CONTEST SCHEDULED MAY 26

Aeronautic Group* C. of C. Backs Show to Be Held at Antlers. An indoor and outdoor model airplane contest, open to any one under 20, will be conducted at the Antlers the afternoon and night of May 26, by the National Aeronautic Association and the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce. The contest will be under direction of Lieutenant Paul Zartman, national guard flying officer, assisted by Milton Knight, model airplane construction instructor. A number of prizes are being arranged by Herbert O. Fisher, chamber aeronautics director, for the best military and commercial type models. Models must be entered at the Antlers ballroom between 4 and 7 p. m. May 26. Prizes will be awarded by Dr. R. E. Whitehead, Indianapolis chapter, N. A. A., president. The contest is being held to stimulate interest in scale model airplane construction.

the government will pay for the federal works it considers indispensable at the present time over a period of yean,, instead of attempting to pay for them out of this year’s revenue. The total of public construction included in the supply bills is between $200,000,000 and $250,000,000, according to a member of the committee. The economy committee which is seeking for places to cut the federal budget can relax its efforts to that extent, or the taxes designed to raise that amount of revenue can be eliminated from the tax bill, if the current public works are met by bonds. But because of this provision, the $500,000,000 limitation on federal public works means that the public works program for 1933 will be only about as great as it was in 1933. Designed to Prevent Hunger The Democratic senators, in announcing their plan, said that it is designed “to aid in preventing suffering from hunger, in providing employment, and in starting again the stalled machinery of the country by reviving actual orders for commodities; in reviving confidence by checking price deflation, and

security liquidation, and by promoting the revival of trade, and the increase of demand for commodities and credit.” The plan specifies that “in order to provide employment opportunities for the greatest practicable number of persons, both federal contracts and Reconstruction Finance Corporation loans for construction will, wherever practicably, be conditioned upon a 30-hour week.” Because of the legislative jam in the senate, the house probably will act on the Garner plan before the senate consider any measure. The senate will then have before it both the Garner bill, in whatever form it is finally approved, and the compromise bill, and will be able to choose between them.

REROUTING OF 31 IS BRANDED POLITICAL MOVE Petition Says Road Change Was Not Meant to End Curves. Purpose of the North Meridian street re-routing of U. S. Road 31, Is not “to eliminate curves” but to "provide a field day for politicians procuring options on property along the route” It is charged in a petition to halt the project. The petition was brought to the statehouse Friday by Thomas E. Polen, Carmel. He sought to file it with Governor Harry G. Leslie, but the Governor wasn't In. He said he hopes to see the Governor and present the petition before paving contracts lor the new route are let. Bids on part of the paving were received Thursday. Contracts for construction of the new North Meridian street bridge already has been let by state highway commissioners. Objection to the re-routing has been voiced since its inception by residents of Broad Ripple, Carmel and Nora, where the old route runs. These residents were signers of the petition, which carries about seventy-five names, according to Polen. In it six reasons for the Governor to halt the project are set out. They include the contention that the new bridge is to be built on lowlands and will form an obstruction causing floods, the political option charges, excessive expense due to the road passing through new territory necessitating much filling and grading, discomfort to Broad Ripple, Carmel, and Nora residents through loss of the traffic trade and tourist business. It also is contended that the money could be better spent for poor relief next winter and that the new paving is not needed, because the traffic problem has become less acute than when the road was first planned several years ago.
