SENATE GIVES ! APPROVAL TO SALARY CUTS! * Upholds 10 Per Cent Slash for Federal Workers, Defeats Furloughs. UNDER SI,OOO EXEMPT Veterans’ Benefit Reduction Up Next; Tax Bill Is Signed by Hoover. By f nihrl Pr> WASHINGTON. June 7. The acnate. with the tax bill made laiy. today reaffirmed it* approval of the 30 per cent government salary cut bv defeating. 41 to 36 a furlough plan offered as a substitute by Senator Moses 'Rep. N H i? The salary reduction recommended bv a special economy committee has withstood strong opposition from various senate groups, which introduced a dozen or more plans calling for graduated reductions and exemptions of employes in the lower brackets. The committee pav cut exempts only those workers with compensations under II.OTO annually. Its estimated saving is $117,000,000. The Moses substitute would have saved $85,000,000. Senator Bratton <Dem., N. M.,! opened debate on the furlough plan, pointing out that although ‘the administration portrays itself as a champion of economy," every move by congress to cut appropriations had been opposed by cabinet members. Veterans’ Bill Next "Under the furlough system." Bratton argued, “it is impassible to estimate how much would be saved, because It is impossible to know how many substitutes are necessary or would be employed." After the wage cut provision comes proposed reduction of $4F.,000.000 in benefits to war veterans. Bitter and protracted debate is ex- j pectcd. President Hoover signed the tax ! bill Monday night, just fifteen min- ! utes after it arrived in final form ; from the capitol, where committees and both houses had labored and fumed over it for six months. The President Issued the statement: “The willingness of our people to accept this added burden in these 1 times, in order impregnably to establish the credit of the federal i government, is a great tribute to their wisdom and courage. Effective on June 20 “While many of the taxes are not as I desired, the bill will effect the J great major ourpose of assurance j to the country and the world of the determination of the American people to maintain their finances and j their currency on a sound basis.” j The treasury announced today. that the excise levies will become effective on June 20. An exception is the water vehicle tax, which becomes effective July 1. Increased postal rates go into effect on July 6. The higher income rates are for ! the calendar year 1932, therefore retroactive to Jan. 1 of this year. The miscellaneous taxes, such as on admissions, telephones and tel- j egraph. bank checks, stock transfers and safe y deposit boxes become effective June 20. The 1-cent federal gasoline tax will be collected for the first time on June 20.

INSULL OUT AS POWER RULER James Simpson Will Take Helm of Empire. By L nitirl Prcut CHICAGO. June 7. Dictatorship of the $3,000,000,000 power empire built by Samuel Insull passed today frem the hands of the white-haired 73-year-old magnate to James Simpson, vigorous chairman of the board of Marshall Field & Cos. The resignation of the utilities pioneer as chairman and director of Commonwealth Edison Cos., Peoples Gas Light & Coke Cos., and Public Services Cos. of Northern Illinois and their affiliates was accepted late Monday. Instills resignation as one of three receivers of Middle West Utilities Cos., gigantic Insull holding corporation, which passed into receivership six weeks ago. was to be made today. Simpson was named immediately to direct the far-flung enterprises. He will resign his office in Marshall Field <fc Cos. Succession of Simpson as leader of the vast network of power, light, transit, and heating properties which Insull welded in his long career marked anew chapter in the lives of two emigrant youths who became princes in Chicago’s industrial and merchant hierarchy. Business associates .saw in Insult's resignation virtually the close of a dynamic rise that started when Thomas A. Edison brought the young London clerk to America to aid in the marketing of his electrical inventions. A statement issued by Insull gave failing health as the cause of his retirement. Those close to him saw. rather, heartbreak at the failure of his tremendous struggle.

‘DOUBLE CROSS' CHARGE FLUNG AT ROOSEVELT Jouett Shouse Bitter Over Espousal of Walsh for Chairman. CITES WRITTEN ASSENT Hot Battle for Control of Convention Assured by Accusation. By I nftrii Prrm WASHINGTON. June 7—Opening of the Democratic national convention seems certain to be marked by a spirited clash of Roosevelt and anti-Roosevelt factions over selection of a permanent convention chairman. Jouett Shouse, chairman of the party executive committee, stands firmly as candidate for the post, despite announcement of James A. Farley, Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt's campaign manager, that the Roosevelt forces will seek 1 to elect Senator Thomas Walsh of Montana. Roosevelt leaders were silent today. Shouse, in reaffirming his candidacy for the permanent chairmanship, accused Roosevelt of a breach jof faith. He said he had in his possession a statement by Roosevelt consenting to the action of the convention arrangements committee, which on April 4 recommended Shouse for the important post. Name to Be Presented "My name will, be presented to the convention for permanent chairman and the delegates will have an opportunity to vote me up or down,” Shouse said, "forming their own opinion—with the public —as to the good faith of Governor Roasevelt in assenting to the April 4 agreement and as to the propriety of the change of plans ascribed to him by Mr. Farley." Shouse, for some time, has been ; regarded by friends of the New i York Governor as an ally of the Smith-Raskob forces heading the j “stop fcoosevelt" movement. Early ; in the spring he urged that delegates be sent to the convention vninstructcd. Roosevelt supporters promptly assailed this proposal, although Shouse denied he had offered it in the interest of any faction. Talks to Farley The Roosevelt management's decision to support Senator Walsh for the permanent chairmanship j was reached after conferences here between Farley and several Democratic senators. Announcement of Walsh’s selection by the Roosevelt camp followed Shouse s notice that he intended to make a full and uncensored speech if he is permanent chairman at the Chicago convention. He reiterated Monday night that, if selected, he would stand by this decision and would render no "inspired" address | on that occasion. Walsh, famed as the Teapot j Dome oil inquisitor of a few years ago, was permanent chairman of the roistering and bitter Madison I Square Garden convention, and j comported himself in such fashion! ! there that he won wide acclaim at I the time.

ganization from the control of wily ex-Governor James Goodrich, now supporting Raymond Springer for the Governor nomination, and in I the tumultuous years that followed held it in line for Watson, through his organizing abilities. In 1928 when Watson decided to pit himself against Herbert Hoover, then in his full strength and popularity. for the presidential nomination, Thurman gave up Hs easy chances for the Governor nominate, and managed the senator’s victorious Indiana primary campaign. they assert. Hays steps into one of the most badly scrambled Republican pictures since the beginning of the century. Abandoned by Watson and Robinson. corporals and sergeants of the party are scurrying about looking for a Moses to lead them out of a wilderness of candidates. The eight Republican contenders for Governor show only spotted | strength. The last twenty-four hours indicate, it is asserted, a definite loss of Springer strength, due, it is charged, to a whispering campaign launched by the supporters of Frederick Landis. Logansport editor, and Lieutenant Governor Edgar D Bush. Relative position of the candidates, disturbed by Springer's last minute entrance, has returned to the status of a week ago. when Thurman, Landis and Bush were expected to lead the field on the first ballot. Remainder of the f.451 delegates not lined up behind the three leaders on the first baliot will be divided among the following, showing strength in the order named: Springer; James M. Ogden, at-torney-general; Arthur H. Sapp, highway commissioner; Lawrence F. Orr. state accounts board head, and James M. Knapp, former Speaker of the house of representatives. Observers believe that this position. with but slight changes, will be held through the third ballot, when the big breaks will begin. if Bonditions on Thursday are reflected by those of today.

WE ALL WORK, RUSSIANS BOAST

Moscow Throngs Avidly Interested in American News

BY ALICE HUGHES Timet Staff Writer | 'Covovright. IM3 bv the New York werld-Telesram Corporation.) T TOW the Russians love to talk, to -*■ question and argue! One day, returning to my hotel, I find a crowd blocking the entrance. The thought of a robbery, passibly a murder, comes to my New Yorktrained mind. But no! It is a friendly encounter. No one is agitated. In the very center, surrounded by seventy-five men and women. I spy a young German whom I have seen In the dining room. He looks bewildered, but so would I. I think, in the heart of that throng. My guide joins me in an almost hopeless attempt to enter the hotel. My feet are stepped on, I am pushed around and then lose sight of my guide. There is an increased upheaval in the crowd. I reach the hotel door just as the guide tears forth, dragging the German lad by the hand. He is hot and perspiring and close to collap e. We lead him to a chair before he faints. He had started out for a walk, he explains. In front of the hotel he Inquired directions from a passing Russian. The German was wearing a Communist pin. Instead of answering his question, the Russian asked him: "You’re a German delegate? How are the comrades doing there? How many are visiting Moscow? Will it be long before a Soviet is established in das Vaterland? Is it true that people are starving abroad? Are they not envious because every one work/ in Russia? a u m THESE and more questions were lashed forth, the German relates. At first he answered what he could. A few passersby, overhearing the discussion, stopped to add their comments. In no time a crowd had gathered. His Russian was unqeual to the bombardment. He tried to leave; couldn't. He was hot, choking, he says, when the Intourist guide snatched him from these friendly captors. "No one who wishes to work need remain idle here." is a phrase I hear often in Soviet Russia. "That huge, floating population with whom the streets teem night and day—they are not working, are they?" I ask. No, they are people who for one cause or another have not con- ] formed with the present system of government, I am told. They are ' drifting. It is apparent that many of them come from small villages. They look like farmers. Though it is warm in May in Russia, many are wearing all the clothes they own on, their backs, musty furs and woolen | shawls, plus their bedding and household effects. One day I am waiting in the lobby of my hotel for a late visitor. { The doors fling open and three j truckmen deposit a small grand piano in the passageway, inconveniencing all who pass through. nun THE hotel manager discusses the problem of the piano with a number of his assistants. It takes half an hour before they decide on the best way to move it to the second floor. .There are two elevators, but they carry only three passengers apiece. One of them, by some perversity, stops only between floors.) A messenger is dispatched to all the upper floors to summon the porters, for the. hotel bell system does not work. One by one ten

ASKS MURDER TRIAL Alleged Girl Slayer Seeks to Vacate Sentence. j By United Pre** , HAMMOND. Ind„ June 7.—Removal of a death sentence meted , out to Glen Donald Shustrom on a i plea of guilty to murder, was sought j today, so Shustrom can change the j plea and go to trial as the alJeged I murderer of Albert Knight, a Whiting girl. If necessary, counsel for Shustrom said, the fight to vacate the death sentence will be carried to the supreme court. Shustrom, who confessed killing [ the girl, was sentenced by Judge Martin Smith to die in the electric rhair Sept. 23. The court ruled .hat no mitigating evidence had been introduced by the defense to show cause for mercy. Physicians' reports on Shustrom's mentality indicated he was sane. Judge Smith overruled defense counsel's motion for vacation of judgment. CHlefT'aid”to resign Arch Hinch Out as Result of Council Economy Move. Resignation of Arch Hinch, secretary to Michael F.

Perhaps this is why there is no unemployment here. Three men do the work of one.

OLE SWIMMIN’ HOLE That’s Geckler's ‘Bad Boy Cure’

COUNTRY air. berry patches and an ole swimmin’ hole will do more to erase the mean streak in a boy that all the world's fancy juvenile probation methods!" Because of this view. Juvenile Judge John F. Geckler is urging country vacations for boys and girls whose names appear on Marion county probation records. The court, this year, will forego the usual routine of having probationers report weekly, if suitable vacations are arranged.

"They will come back better boys and girls next fall. It's good for them to get away from shows, poolrooms, and enticing city amusements," Geckler said. ‘'There isn’t much danger of the proverbial ‘bad’ boy doing wrong when racing a pal. barefoot, down a dusty country lane.” * m m 'T'HIS version of Juvenile correction proved a success last summer. Several boys and girls this year have arranged for vacations extending to September. ‘"The advantage of not requiring periodical reports encourages children to do right. Their summer records are better than their winter records,” probation officers assert. When vacation ends, the authorities will confer with parents regarding behavior of their children during the summer months. Majority of the boys and girls will visit relatives on Hoosier farms.

The phraseology of these stories is martial. They speak of the "economic front," the "political front.” When they run short they refer to "deficit supplies.” Such American news as does reach them is always tinged with disaster. They learn of poverty and unemployment, of clubbing of fellow Communists, of the kidnaping of the Lindbergh baby. “Is it true,” I am asked, “that half the population of New York is living in the streets, dispossessed because they can not pay rent?” “Is it true that the real President of the United States is Al Capone, who lives in a luxurious jail and conducts the government from there?”

DAD WILL BE BOSS OF FAMILY SUNDAY

Sunday is the day that Dad can ignore the lawn mower, and the steps that need sweeping. It’s his one day in the 365 when he should be king-bee n his home, for the day is known as "Father s day.” Os course Dad may have to pay for his presents in the long run, but don’t bother him with the bills on that day. He should be permitted to sleep to his heart’s content, put his feet up on the radio consqk, go tieless, and be allowed to dod£? his razor.

I ANSWER these interrogations, but my quesfiQaers seem dissatisfied. The day can not be far off. I am confidently told, when a world-wide revolution will restore all countries to the state of comparative contentment Russia now enjoys. “But you haven’t any homes.” I object. ’You are hungry. You have no clothes. No possessions.” A social science engineer answers my objections. “We have homes. Only one room, and that shared by several others. But we need only sleep there. We have no Sunday clothes, but neither have we Sundays. “We do not gorge ourselves with food, that’s true, but those of us who work get enough to eat. We have no possessions, but we have peace of mind. “We have our jobs, from which no one will fire us unless we are downright Inefficient.”

THREE BREAK PRISON Women at Liberty Only Few Hours. Liberty of three prisoners who escaped about 4 Monday afternoon from the Indiana woman's prison was shortlived. Two were captured within two hours and the other an hoyr later. Those who escaped were Juanita Doughty, 22; Myrtle Brook, 24, and Catherine Stanley, 22. The three attacked a matron and seized her keys. From a storeroom they obtained civilian clothing and changed their prison garb. Police caught the Doughty and Brook women in the rear of 445 North Walcott street. An hour later the other prisoner was found in the 2400 block Brookside avenue. The Doughty and Stanley women were sentenced at Terre Haute, the former for aiding in a jail delivery and the latter for robbery. The other woman was sentenced at Vincennes for auto theft. Burglars Leave Initialed Clew An initialed pinch bar was among articles found about 2 this morning by police following an attempt to break into the warehouse of Schnull <fc Cos., wholesale grocers. 1617 Prospect street. A large hole had been cut in the roof. The bar bears the initials *”W. N. D ” With It, police found a saw. a chain and screw driver. Nothing is missing from the warehouse.

It may— well .t’s just a suggestion —but it may mean anew summer hat for Ma. anew golf club for Junior, anew sport outfit lor Sister —who knows?

WORLD PARLEY ON ECONOMICS STRIKES SNAGS Many Subjects Are Taboo: Europe Shuns Talk of Disarmament. U. S. BALKS AT DEBTS Monetary System Likely to Be Main Topic at Conference. BY WILLIAM miLIP SIMMS Scrlpps-lloward Frtlcn Editor WASHINGTON. June 7—While Washington attaches far more importance to the proposed world economic conference than has leaked out. the whole thing is being im- ; periled by a dispute over the agenda, where and when it shall be held, and what countries shall participate. Here. I am told, is what- might be called a composite agenda, internationally compiled from the leading economic causes of the world ; depression: 1. Faulty circulation of gold. 2. Underconsumption, due to loss of purchasing power on the part of the masses. 3. The demonetization, or cheapening, of silver, upon which at least half the population of the globe dci pends for purchasing power. | 4. Unsettled business, dne to fear of another war. 5. Reparations, war debts, taxes, i and other burdens, due to past and , possible future wars. 6. Tariff walls and other barriers to trade. Touchy on Many Subjects While these admittedly arc among the principal economic causes of the world's troubles, some of them are touchy items with this or that nation. Accordingly, such nations won’t play if the others insist on the taboo ! subjects. While the United States is all for ! disarmament and that sort of thing, ! Europe isn't. And though Europe ! thinks it would be a fine idea to disj cuss reparations and war debts, with ! the United States as part of the problem at hand, the administra- ; tion can’t see it that way. By a process of elimination, therefore, it would seem that the monetary system of the world, or lack of such system, would be the most important item on the agenda of the conference, if and when it is held. This, in turn, means that if it is to get anyhere at all, China, Latin America, India and Russia must be represented, as well as the United States and the other prin- ; cipal world powers. As matters stand, there is little more than SI 1.000,000.000 gold money in the world.
