LESLIE FORCES SHIFT FAST ON EXTRA SESSION Governor’s Sudden Change of Mind Puts Henchmen in Bad Spot. WHO PULLED STRINGS? Big Property Interests Put Pressure on Executive, Says Rumor. i Olhfr detail*, pace* 3 nd II) Who pulled the strings which caused Governor Harry G. Leslie to undergo a complete change of mind and call a special sesison of the legislature July 7. to attempt remedial tax legislation, was being debated vigorously at the statehouse today. His change of attitude, without warning, put many of his statehouse henchmen in a bad spot, for they have been going about proclaiming loudly: -The Governor is smart not to call a special session." Today they were changing the tunc to. “The Governor surely is smart to call that special session.” It. is understood that the force which moved the Governor was not the cry of the distressed unemployed. but of large property interests. who now want to discharge iriMst of the governmental employes and curb schools costs. fan Last 10 Oars The stage is set for the session, which, under the Indiana Constitution. can last but forty days. There are four vacant scats, two In the house and two in the senate. Senators Harry K. Cuthbertson. Peru, and Edgar A Perkins. Indianapolis, now are part of the administrative branch of the government and therefore ineligible to serve in the session. Representatives Lew Core. Elnora. and Erasmus T. Sage, Jeffersonville, have died since the regular 1931 session adjourned. Cuthbertson was appointed to the public service commission by Leslie , and Perkins to the state industrial ' board. . , This will be the fifteenth special I asesion held in Indiana under the Constitution of 1851. Seven of the fourteen held previously continued for more than thirty-five days,, records disclose. Gives His Reasons In issuing the caU Wednesday afternoon. Governor Leslie also read and distributed a statement setting out four reasons for naming July 7 as the date. He said that at that time tax statistics will be available, delinquencies revealed. September budgets readv for formulation, and state and national party conventions will be over. . . In the call. Leslie set out that he believes an emergency exists and • that sound remedial measures for existing ills will be enacted speedily In accord with written assurances." The latter' refers to the letters fr'm legislators indorsing generally the seventeen-point program of the so-called “citizens committee." Previously the Governor poohpoohed any such generalization and repeatedly asserted that tax bills must be drafted and passage assured before the session could be called. Cites Other Failures He has been making speeches about the failure of special sessions in other states, and the fact that the present legislature had a chance to act at the regular session and failed. But his conversion to the special *e.sion came suddenly, it appears, and surmise is rife regarding who brought it about. After issuing the call. Leslie left Tor French Lick, where he spent Wednesday night. Today he is taking part in the ceremonies opening the new Lincoln Memorial Way st Cannelton and Tell City. get milk.” miss liner Family’s Ocean Voyage Resumed When Tug Reaches Boat.

Hypnotism to

End Depression Grip Suggested

too somcThwg /

By United Prett PHILADELPHIA, June 2—HypI notism as a way to end the depression was suggested to the American Psychiatric Association today by Dr. Oscar A. Raeder, Boston. "All great leaders of the world have had hypnotic power and have used it to carry out their plans, either consciously or unconsciously.” he said. "The present economic condition represents a case of national hysteria which could be cured by hypnosis. “As people who have accepted one hypnotic suggestion become more amenable to it, so congress, if it could be persuaded to make one constructive move, would pass an entire program of constructive measures. “But a man with hypnotic power is needed to lead—a Theodore Roosevelt or someone like him." UPHOLDS TRUCK SIZE LIMITING Judge Ryan Sets Temporary Writ Aside. New Indiana statute limiting size and weight of trucks, tractors and trailers being operated on state highways was upheld today by Superior Judge Russell Ryan. The ruling was on a suit brought by the Central Transfer and storage Company, seeking to test legality of the statute and to obtain an injunction against its enforcement. With the ruling. Ryan set aside a temporary restraining order issued at the time the suit was filed several weeks ago. Ryan in his decision upheld right of the state to regulate all forms of vehicular traffic on state roads and held that provisions of the new statute do not invest state police with "unreasonable” power. Attorneys for the trucking company attack the statut. as discriminating among certain types of vehicles. providing exemption for some types. Henry Campbell, former county surveyor, is in charge of the truck checking division. The attorneys did not indicate whether an appeal will be taken, but asked that the ruling be withheld from court records until next week. RAINFALL INCREASES Record 1.4 Inches During Wednesday Night.

AIR HUNT TO BE MADE FOR MISSION MEN Doctor and Pilot Lost in Newfoundland Since Flight Monday. BOSTON AVIATORS AID Ex-Harvard Grid Captain One of Rescue Crew on Way to North. By United Brett BOSTON, June 2.—A big silver monoplane left here soon after sunup today, carrying three young Boston aviators on a two-stop, 1,300mile flight to far northern Newfoundland to make an aeria! search for a Grenfell mission worker and j an air mail pilot, missing since Memorial day. Aboard the pontoon-equipped NC-4616. loaned for the expedition by Dr. Alexander Forbes of Milton, Mass., were: Charles Joseph < Charlie) Hubbard Jr.. 29-year-old architect and former Harvard football captain, as : navigator. Harold G. Crowley. 30, one of i the ablest seaplane pilots in New England, as pilot. Eward T. O Toole, 30. as mechanic. After two refueling stops, they expected to reach the Grenfeil mission at St. Anthony Friday. Air Search Is Planned If all goes well, they will begin an aerial hunt over the St. Anthony* 1 region for Dr. K. Karl Kuehnert of Crystal Lake. 111., dental surgeon j attached to the Grenfell mission | at St. Anthony, and Arthur Sullivan !of St. Johns, Newfoundland, his pilot on a pleasure flignf, from which they tailed to return. Sir Wilfred Grenfell, vacationing in Vermont preparatory to beginning his forty-first year as the far ; north’s celebrated medical mis- | sionary, had appealed to the veteran airman, Bemt Balchen, to make the hunt, but the latter was delayed in getting a plane, and so : the task fell to Hubbard. Still remembered as a great Harvard athlete, Charlie Hubbard has long been a flying enthusiast, and although he is serving as navigator on the current expedition, he holds a pilot’s license. Missing After Flight Last year Hubbard and Crowley accompanied Dr. Forbes, donor of the search plane, on a topographical survey expedition along the Labrador coast. Dr. Kuehnert has been attached to the Grenfell mission as dentist since last July. During his service there he had become acquainted with Sullivan, who for several winters had flown the air mail from St. Johns to St. Anthony. On Monday, the dentist suggested to Sullivan that they go for a short flight. They boarded Sullivan’s plane, vanished in a fog bank, and did not return. Sullivan, who is about 28 is a son of the late Michael S. Sulivan, former Newfoundland cabinet member and once acting colonial secretary.

Found Not Guilty After State’s Attorney Admits Bird Is Fake. j By United Prett CONROE, Tex., June 2.—A jury acquitted Durell Kendall. 22, on a ; charge of murdering his former employer, Leu H. Brownlee, 57, in j a verdict returned today in district ! court, while a parrot that had mys- : tifled the courtroom squawked in an anteroom.

He borrowed it, he said, "as a joke." The real bird is •with anew owner In another city.

President’s Personal Proposal for BillionDollar Increase in Reconstruction Body’s Capitalization Given House. HURLEY AND MILLS AIR VIEWS War Secretary’s Opposition to Dole Brings Exchange of Angry Words; Treasury Chief Before Senate Group. By United Prett WASHINGTON, June 2.—President Hoover’s personal plan for unemployment relief was offered in the house today, shortly after two members of his official cabinet had appeared before congressional committees in opposition to the | two Democratic programs, which the administration calls | “pork barrel” legislation. Representative Willis Hawley (Rep., Ore.) introduced two bills embodying the President’s plan for a $1,000,000,000 increase in the capitalization of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. Previously War Secretary Patrick Hurley had testified against the Garner plan before the house ways and means committee, and Treasury Secretary Ogden L. Mills opposed the Wagner program before the senate banking and currency committee. Hurley raised the cry of “dole” in testifying against the $2,309,000,000 Garner relief measure.

Mills sounded a warning against the $2,300,000,000 relief- bill proposed by senate Democrats. Hurley struck out against the $100,000,000 “mercy fund” in the Garner program, saying the provision for emergency relief was equivalent to a dole. Angry words flew back and forth across the committee table as the war secretary shouted his opposition to a dole and Representative David J. Lewis <Dem., Md.) objected to “disposing of sacred subjects with such an epithet." Hawley’s Measures in Hopper Mills told senators on the committee the $500,000,000 construction appropiration in the Democratic bill constituted “an extraordinary budget" that would “undo all the work of the special economy committee.” The Hawley measures permit total loans of $300,000,000 to states for rei lief of distress. In addition, the corporation would ! be authorized to extend loans to states, municipalities and corporaitons to begin construction work guaranteed to furnish employment. A sum of $50,000,000 would be allocated for loans to the federal farm board to enable it to make addiitonal loans to co-operative associations and stabilization corporations. Pat Hurley Is Witness Financial institutions also would be authorized to borrow to enable them to “finance and the carrying and orderly marketing of staple commodities produced in the United States." As additional farm relief, the secretary of agriculture would be empowered to borrow a maximum of $50,000,000 from the corporation funds to finance the exportation of agricultural commodities. Loans extended by the corporation for construction work would be made under provisions for repayment within five years The President’s insistence upon all such projects being “self-liquidating" is guaranteed in the loan terms carried in the bill. The tannedfi athletic secretary of war submitter charts prepared by army engineers to one house committee to show the extent to which each state now is benefiting under war department river and harbor and flood control projects. Calls Hoover Plan Sound Hurley sought to show that a negligible amount of employment would result from this phase of the Garner measure. Alabama for example, he said, under army projects has found employment for 308 men and under the Gamer plan the maximum to be employed would be 778 men. The per capita expenditure would rise from 19 cents per capita to sl.Ol. The Gamer bill provides for expenditure of more than $300,000,000, in rivers and harbors and flood control projects. Hurley estimated that this was only $84,469,900 more than would be spent under the war department j program. He said this increase

or, if state-wide, under the state.” Income taxes and high inheritance levies are urged. The Phohibition party advicates repeal of the state direct primary law and if any party holds su*,h an election It must be at its own expense. “In respect to decency and morals,” the party declares for reading of the Bible and moral inruction in the public schools: prohibition of the appeal of the movies to the criminal Instincts of he public” enforcement of laws ■'•’ainst betting and gambling and le of tobacco or cigarets to mirs. The party asks for “maintenance of the Lord s day as. a day of rest and worship withojL hindrance!.”

would give employment to only an additional 34.178 persons. The present program “is as sound and wise economically as the fiscal condition of the nation will permit,” Hurley said. Mills Raps Senate Proposal. The senate Democratic program includes: Direct loans to states for unemployment relief totaling $300,000,000; issuance of reconstructon finance corporation debentures aggregating $1,460,000,000, for financing self-liquidating public works; issuance of $40,000,000 of the same debentures for financing sales of agricultural products in foreign markets; a $300,000,000 bond issue for construction of hitherto authorized public works. Mills warned the committee the public works provision would “automatically unbalance the budget by $300,000,000.” Hurley became caustic as he referred to the $100,000,000 “mercy money" in the Garner bill as “a dole.” He called employment to be derived from the rivers and harbors and flood control projects in the program “only a drop in the bucket.” The so-called mercy money would be used for emergency relief. “Dole” Brings Hot Words Hurley's reference to a dole brought an angry answer from Representative Lewis (Dem., Md ). “I regret that you dispose of such sacred subjects by an epithet,” shouted Lewis “I say again it is insolent to any man who makes a living to offer the dole, and it is insulting to the soul of labor,” said Hurley, his face flushing as he hammered the table for emphasis. "What we need to do is reduce the hours of labor and put men to work.” “Why don’t you help us do that then?” asked Lewis. My god, that's what I am trying to do, that's what we all are trying to do,” shouted Hurley. Further Shocks Feared Mills attempted to point out to the senate committee that an unbalanced budget would “cause a further stock to public confidence tend to retard business recovery, and very possibly add to the number of those already unemployed." He said he approved the principle of relief loans to states with exhausted resources, but emphasized that only “aboslute need” should be made the basis of federal aid. Senator Carter Glass (Dem., Va.) said he would be ashamed of Virginia if it appealed for federal funds. “I’d be ashamed of the state of New York, too,” Mills replied, “if I was ever faced with the spectacle of the Governor, hat in hand, begging for-funds.” The Republican steering committee of the house today decided on determined opposition to the Garner bill.
