HUNGER RELIEF BATTLE FACES LEGISLATURE Help for State’s Needy Is Certain to Bob Up in Special Session. BILLS BEING PLANNED Leslie to Have Difficulty Staving Off Demands for Aid. RV DANIEL M. KIDNEY Although unemployment relief is not mentioned among the seventeen points set out for legislative action at the special session starting July 7. it appeared unlikely today that this world important topic can be kept off the program. Certain labor lobbyists alrpady report, that they have bills calling for relipf bv the state ranging from $1,000,000 to $12,000,000. It is pointed out that unless the state finds some loophole to evade the constitutional restriction forbidding the state going into debt. Indiana will be ineligible for federal aid to the unemployed, if it is to be doled under the Hoover plan. Hoover advocates that federal relief be given in the form of long loans to states. Might Set Up Corporation It might be possible for the state to set up some quasi -official corporation to handle such funds. This would be brought about by legislative action, such as has been taken in the past in creating school and armory holding companies and the like. These permit the state to go into debt, and at the same time the politicians can point with pride to :he inviolate constitutional debt restriction. Governor Harry G. Leslie, in calling the special session, mentioned taxation and economy, but said nothing about poor relief. Wth exhaustion this winter of local relief budgets, both state and federal help may be necessary, it is said. Some weeks ago the Governor was told by a committee of miners that the long-suffering families of the unemployed in the coal districts are depending on dandelions for food. Would Cut Legislators’ Pay As an initial step toward economy. Senator C. Oliver Holmes Rep., Gary) suggests a 25 per cent reduction in salaries of legislators. The supreme court held that the legislators were within their rights in boosting their pay to $lO a day, so in reverse order a reduction also would be constitutional, he pointed out. Previous to 1927, members of both houses drew* $5 a day. That year they raised their own salaries and those of the supreme court judges. The coming emergency meeting will take on the complexion of a "lame duck” session, it was pointed out. since only sixty-three of the 150 members elected in 1930 were renominated this spring. Lame Ducks in County The lame ducks" may be a bit less amenable to party leadership than those who must face the electorate this fall, it was declared. In the Marion county delegation, the so-called “lame ducks,” either not renominated or not seeking renomination. are Senators Joe Rand Beckett, Robert L. Moorhead, and J. Clyde Hoffman, and Representatives Russell J. Dean. Guy A. Braughton. Clyde C. Karrer. Gerritt M. Bates, and William B. Conner. * Hourly Temperatures 6 a. m 66 10 a. m 79 7 a. m 69 11 a. m 79 8 a. m 73 12 moon).. 81 9 a. m 74 1 p. m,..i. 82

But 111 doubtless get around to that pretty soon. I have no plans whatever, but I'm sure I'll continue flying.” Unlike most American women visitors to this city.

WARSAW FLIGHT IS UNDER WAY Nonstop Hop Started by Stanley Hausner. Bn l nilrrl Prrtt FLOYD BENNFT AIRPORT. N. Y . June 3.—Stanley Hausner. Pol-ish-American aviator, started from Floyd Bennett airport today in an attempt to fly nonstop from New York to 'Warsaw. Poland. Hausner's flame-colored Bellanea monoplane, the Rosa Maria, left the long concrete runway at 9:46 a. m. The ship had been wheeled out a! 9 a. m. and Hausner, usually closelipped about his plans, announced he would try to reach the capital of his native Poland without a stop. “When I get to London." he said. "I may land, but if the plane is in good shape I’ll continue." The Rasa Maria was fueled with 525 gallons of gasoline and twentygallons of oil. Hausner spent the night at the airport, and was up and about at 6 a. m. The smiling flier had breakfast with his wife at a roadside stand, and then they prepared some food to store in the plane. He took a quart of black coffee, a quart of ice water, four chicken sandwiches and some fruit. As the Rosa Maria was wheeled onto the field, Hausner, wearing a business suit, turned to his wife and remarked. “Well, it’s time to go.” He kissed her and stepped jauntily down the field after the plane. Hausner said he would fly the Great Circle route, following the ship lanes. He was told by weather bureau officials that conditions along that route are favorable.

‘BEAR RAIDER’ HINTS DRAW RASKOB FIRE *1 Am Not Great Operator to Depress Stocks.’ Senate Probers Told. TELLS OF HIS LOSSES Shrewd Bull Market Admits Dropping *1 Don’t Know How Much.’ Bv I „,1,,l Pr.Mt V ASHINGTON, June 3—. John J. Ra:i;ob, supposed to be one of the shrewdest of the bull market financiers told today how he had lost money on one transaction in the stock of General Motors Corporation—a concern that he helped build up to a lofty place among American industries. He testified before the senate banking and currency committees investigation of alleged bear raids on the Stock Exchange. Raskobs position as chiirman of the Democratic national commit- ; tee caused senators and William A. Gray, committee counsel, to bicker throughout the testimony as to whether there was any significance in the fact that a prominent Democrat had been called to testify. Senator Carter Glass <Dem.. Va.) asked if "any Republicans are going to testify?" Glass said he was referring to "whispers around the eapitol" that this investigation is supposed to reach certain prominent Democrats.” Smiling. Pleasant Witness Raskob was a willing, pleasant witness, and grinned as he told of selling 78,600 shares of General Motors in the last part of 1927 and early 1928 on which T lost I don't know* how much money." • Mr. Gray has made a great deal. Raskob said, “of my sale of 58.800 shares in 1927 and 20.000 in 1923. I would Ike to point out that I sold the 58.8000 shares for 132 1 -. and that the high in March was 199 and the low was 136". so I lost money on that. I dont know how much." Gray repeatedly attempted to prove Raskob was selling short, and every time he made the charge, Raskob was careful to correct him. finally saying: Denies He’s ‘Bear Raider" ’ I always have had in my regular account more than I sold, except in two instances. Then I was technically short because of inability to make deliveries of small blocks of stock I sold." He added that "there is no crime in short selling, but it is not true that I am a great bear operator seeking to depress stocks. “Personally, I don't rare if I have that reputation, but as chairman of the Democratic national committee I do carp." Raskob said he did not recall' the exact reason for selling the 78.800 shares, but thought "It may ! have been for income tax pur- 1 poses: to establish a profit or loss." "I must confess I don't under-1 stand what all this has to do with : the stock market." said Senator ! James Couzens *Rep.. Mich.) "I don't either," Raskob said. Tells of His Holdings The witness explained how eighty principal men" in General Motors had profited through the Management Securities Corporation. “The eighty men put up $5,000,000 of their own and borrowed $23,000 - 000 from the Du Pont Company." Raskob said. “How much stock in General Mo-' tors did the Management Securities Company have?" Gray asked. “I can't say. but it was very laree.", Raskob said “I can’t see why the committee • is examining Mr. Raskobs personal affairs," Senator Duncan U. "Fletcher *Dem.. Fla.) broke in. Gray explained he wanted th** Management Securities information for the record. Raskob said the $23,000,000 was > paid back in seven years. His pres- 1 ent interest in General Motors, including the Management Secuirties interest, is "something over 100.000 shares." He explained that the Manage- \ rnent Securities Corporation got 5 ( per cent of all General Motors* profits in excess of 7 per cent. Heriot Is Given Call By I'nxtcd Prrtt PARIS.

Dale was sentenced to serve eighteen months in the federal penitentiary at Leavenworth and was fined SI,OOO Notice of appeal in all but two of the eases was filed, following the sentencing, as Dale continued his fight to prove he was "framed" by the underworld of the city which he headed.

Others sentenced: William Parkhurst. ex-polir" captain *who did not appeal), sixty days: Kenneth Horst man, detective, six months: Harry Nelson, detective, ninety days, and Dan Davis, alleged bootlegger, sixty days. Thesr terms would be served in jail. Appeals Are Filed As the eleven men appeared for sentencing. Baltzell overruled motions in each of the cases for new , trials and for arrest of judgment. ; The appeal notices then were filed. Conviction of Dale and the other 1 defendants resulted from a federal | court jury trial in which Dale 1 hurled charges that he was framed 1 because of a long fight to halt, activities of bootleggers and gamblers. Character of the government’s witnesses was assailed during the trial, and Dale charged prosecution witnesses included underworld characters whom he long had harassed In overruling the motions for a new trial. Baltzell asserted: "I have examined authorities and I fail to see where there is anything cited in thp motions that would be prejudicial to any of the defendants. See* No Error "The fact Is that the court has to have opportunity to correct an error in the record at the time such error is made. You sat, by—five lawyers—and did not say a word. You wait ten days before calling It to attention of the court. If that is propier, the court would have to stop lawyers in their arguments himself. "I would set aside thp verdict even without it being called to my attention if I thought the district attorney was making prejudicial statements. The defendants should be given every protection to which they are entitled, but w* hav* to follow some procedure. "I just don’t believe, m fairness to the court or any one else, that lawyers can sit idly by and then ask for these thing* after it is all over. "If I thought that prejudicial statements had been made. I would not hesitate to set aside tha verdict. I have that duty to perform and it is sacred. Defense Given Latitude . “The ca.se was tried more satisfactorily than any other case I ever have tried. I feel that the defense was given great latitude, because of the, character of the ease, a conspiracy trial.” “I hold no brief for Corbett Johnson.” said Baltzell in pronouncing sentences. "He Is about as bad a bootlegger as we've had here in a long time, and he i* not going to be excused because he pleaded guilty.” A short time later Baltzell asserted he would recommend no parole for Johnson. “He is not entitled to any,” said Baltzell. All defendants were placid but Johnson, who obviously was downcast. ASKS BABY-FINDER _ BAN Sympathy lor Lindy Prompts Mayor to Restrain Circu* Art. Bv r nitrd P.'tf QUINCY.
