City Officials Ready to Swing Ax on Budgets

Council Meetings Postponed, Awaiting Actions of State Assembly. City officials are expected to ma“ke a, belated start, within the next week or ten days, on compilation of the civil city budget for 1933. Meetings of city councilmen and other officials to study budget requests has been delayed, awaiting outcome of ,the forty-day special session of the legislature, which will end Aug. 16. Various department, heads, it is understood, have been advised to submit budgets on the basis of their needs and without salary cuts, in order that proportionate cuts may be made by the budget committee. While it is certain that serious reduction must be effected in the budget, it is impossible to forecast thq nature or amount of these reductions, said Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan. The bill passed by the house of representatives Monday, providing a sliding scale of salary cuts, with provisions for a 10 per cent slash'in the total salary budget, would mean a $320,000 drop in the city budget for salaries alone, equal to about 4’v cents in the levy. Os this amount, more than half would be sustained by police nad fire departments, with a total pay roll of approximately $2,450,000. In addition, the city budget makers must take into consideration the $82,000,000 Center township realty valuation cut, announced several weeks ago.

Indiana taxpayers will have to pay for safeguarding their own money under provisions of a bill passed today by 35-to-l vote by the house of representatives. Spurred by bankers who want to escape paying a surety fee and by men v.ho are sureties on bonds for public deposits in shaky banks, the house passed the bill announced as an “emergency” measure. Speakers pointed out that it would cost taxpayers several million dollars over the state in interest derived on public money. Its principal proponent, Delph McKesson of Plymouth, Democratic floor leader, said: “I don’t like the bill.” In Marion county alone it will cost the general fund of the city, county and township approximately $200,000 in annual revenue derived 1 from interest on public money.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

WOMEN PLEAD FOR CHANGE TO FIGHT BOLIVIANS War of Amazons Looms in Between South American Rivals. By 1 n 'led Press ASUNCION. Paraguay, Aug. 3. Paraguay mobilized today for war against Bolivia, with women pleading for a chance to fight in the ranks. President Jose P. Guggiari signed a mobilization decree calling for army reserves of men between th? ages of 22 and 29 and officers between 20 and 50, after issuing a manifesto declaring that “the entire nation must rise to arms.” The manifesto blamed Bolivia for provoking war. It said Paraguay’s attempts at peaceful settlement of the Gran Chaco dnspute had been fruitless. Several hundred women of the cit of Conception appealed to the government for a chance to “use arms for the fatherland.” They took an other not to use rouge, powder or perfume "until the Chaco is freed of Bolivian forces.” The presidential manifesto indicated the Paraguayans counted the oppressive heat of the Chaco as aid to their soldiers, claiming that the Bolivians, used to higher altitudes. could not stand it. A statement said 600 Bolivian infantrymen deserted and flew across the Pilcomayo river, suffering from the heat and sickness caused by the low altitudes. Amazons’ War Looms By. I ailed Press LA PAZ, Bolivia. Aug. 3.—A mounting spirit of war brought demands from women that they be permitted to serve in military activity in defense of Bolivia today after the government indicated there was little hope for arbritation of the Gran Chaco frontier dispute with Paraguay. In many districts of the interior, Bolivian women were offering themselves for active service in case of necessity. Frequently, the offers were accompanied by the declaration : “The Bolivian woman always has proved herself in crisis of family or nation.” Work to Avoid War By United Press WASHINGTON. Aug. 3—The nations of the Americas were expected to join today in sending a note of transcendant importance to Bolivia and Paraguay apparently near war. Latin-American diplomats felt certain that every neutral nation to the south would join the United States in representations to the disputants. According to reliable information, these representations will be sensational in nature, and they are expected to consolidate Pan-Amer-ican nations in support of anew peace doctrine designed to be as far-reaching in effect as the Monroe doctrine itself. $240 FOR BURNED LEGS French Woman Gets Judgment Against Hospital Aids.

FALL FATAL TO YOUTH Topples Over Cliff in State Park; Injuries Prove Fatal. By United Press GREENCASTLE.

BY RAY TUCKER Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Aug. 3. President Hoover's acceptance speech next week will set forth a prohibition program which is expected to rally Republican wets and drys behind the Hoover-Curtis ticket. It was learned today that Hoover wjll interpret the party's prohibition plank, which he forced the convenj tion to adopt, as eliminating the worst evils of prohibition and re- ! taining its best features. This is counted on to satisfy the Wadsworth-Butler group of wets in the northeast. In an appeal to the drys, he will denounce the Democratic repeal platform as lacking a constructive side and making possible the return of the saloon. The acceptance address virtually is completed, and probably will be sent to the printer today. Hoover has prepared it with great care, | writing and rewriting more often than he usually does. He has submitted parts of it to various adI visers, _ with Ogden L. Mills, secre- ! tary of the treasury, as his chief critic. In general, it is understood, the President will raise the cry that his party is safe and sane, whereas his opponents have no program. The administration's foreign and domestic policies will be praised as a farreaching effort to bring back economic recovery without departure from “rugged Americanism.” Economic measures advanced at home and abroad, including the Ggrma.n moratorium, will be eulogized as steps essential to prevent the depression from becoming a panic. Where the administration has departed trom conservative paths, as in the case of the farm board and federal subsidy to banks, corporations, railroads, etc., it will be contended that the gravity of conditions required novel remedies. Hoover again will hold the World war and world conditions responsible for the depression.
