6.0. P. GLEE IS HIGH WHEN WALKER QUITS Mayor’s Resignation Will Turn State to Hoover, Claim Leaders. EYES STILL ARE ON AL Walker, Tammany Stuck to Him at Chicago: What’s His Stand Now. BY RAY TUCKER Time* Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.—Declaring that It insured victory in New York in the presidential campaign, national Republican leaders today rejoiced at the dilemma which Mayor Walker’s sudden resignation has created for Governor Franklin D. Rosevelt, Alfred E. Smith and Tammany Hall. Without pretending to predict the nlignments which may result from the mayor's denunciation of the Democratic presidential nominee. G. O, P. spokesmen professed to believe it would lead to wholesale revenge against the Roosevelt-Garner ticket in the metropolis. They minimized suggestions that Walker’s quitting under fire, and repeated rebuffs from Roosevelt during the removal hearings would strengthen the latter throughout the country. The resentment of Walker’s friends and admirers, added to the bitterness against the national ticket, said to be felt by Smith’s followers, will give Hoover the Empire state's forty-seven electoral votes, find help him in winning New England’s forty-one. In the opinion of Republican strategists. Wait Effect on Smith If Walker seeks vindication at the polls, and if Tammany supports him, the G. O. P. will be encouraged further in its hope of sweeping the northeastern states. The effect of the unexpected developmentjs on Smith anxiously is awaited. It is recalled that Walker and Tammany stuck to him to the end at the Chicago convention, and the hope is that his gratitude to them for this course will Irad him to support Walker as against Roosevelt. In his statement explaining his resignation, the mayor said he had acted on the advice of “the most loyal and distinguished Democrats in the country.” The capital is chiefly interested Jn learning the identity of these '’most loyal and distinguished Democrats.” Consulted Big Party Men Among those Walker is said to liave consulted before quitting are John F. Curry, Tammany chieftain, and John H. McCooey, Democratic leader in Brooklyn. In an editorial written by William R. Hearst the mayor was advised to take the step he did. Now, the politicians would like to know whether Smith gave the same sort of advice. Strangely enough, Walker's resignation turns the office over to Joseph V. McKee, president of the board of aldermen and a staunch Roosevelt supporter. When Curry forced each New York delegate to toe the mark by a roll call vote at Chicago, McKee voted for Roosevelt as against Smith. It generally was believed Curry’ Irsorted to this strategy so as to make it impossible for McKee to be elected at the end of Walker's unfinished term. May Be Help to Roosevelt No man opposing such a popular Sdol as Smith, it is asserted, can be elected mayor of New York. Smiths stand also may be affected if Walker and Tammany decide to oppose Lieutenant-Governor Herbert Lehmann in his effort to obtain the gubernatorial nomination. Asa friend of Roosevelt, Lehmann may find Walker and Curry against him. provided Tammany sides with the resigned mayor to the finish. But Lehman also is Smith's close friend. Some national politicians believe that Smith may dig deeper into his political hole rather than take sides in such a feud. % It generally is felt that the circumstances of Walker's quitting may help Roosevelt around the country.

Sea Monarchs No tale of fiction can rival the truthful tale of the sea, its raging storms, its heroic rescues, its daring exploits. And no characters in fiction are more interesting than the sea captains, monarchs of the rolling wave. Thousands of lives are in their keeping and millions in property is their responsibility. Great is their trust and no class of men is truer to that trust. Men of character, thorough training, and varied experience are these skippers. Sea tales enthrall every one, young and old. So, on Monday, The Times presents the first of a series of captains of the great liners which steam out of New York. First on the list is the true Yankee who commands the Leviathan. Albert B. (Rescue) Randall.

VOLUME 44—NUMBER 99

ADOPT SCHOOL BUDGET AFTER $857,425 SLASH Slashing operating expenses and salaries $857,425, the school board late Friday adopted its 1932-33 budget of $6,535,481, requiring a $1,087 tax levy, compared with the present $1 levy. The budget, the first formally adopted in the county, would require only an 88-cent levy, were it not for 18 per cent assessed valuation decrease and heavily increased tax delinquencies, officials said. Unless the levy is slashed by the new county adjustment board to a point where it will be impossible to operate the schools, the new $1.50 minimum levy law passed by the present legislative special session, will be nullified comletely. Decreased valuation and increased delinquencies affect all other taxing units in the county, including the civil city, county and township, threatening a total Indianapolis levy in Center township of more $3 in comparison with the present $2.79. Os the $6,535,481 school budget, only $5,068,413 actually goes for operation of the schools. .

The remaining $1,467,468, accounting for 28 cents in the levy, must be used to pay fixed charges, such as bonds and interest charges of $1,106,149, fund transfers and operation of public libraries, contributions to the free kindergartens, the Art institute and Children’s museum. The board is required by law to collect funds in its budget for the kindergartens. Public Hearing to Be Held The board will conduct a public hearing on the budge and levy at noon. Sept. 15. Heaviest slash is in the salary item, the total pay roll being reduced $623,450 under the 1931-32 apppropriation. The other reductions have been obtained by curtailing and discontinuing activities, including discontinuance of the publication, research and curriculum departments. Twenty assistant supervisors of art, music and physical education have been transferred to teaching positions, saving $46,000. All adult day vocation classes have been dropped, saving $15,175; appropriation for necessary school supplies has been reduced, night schools have been discontinued, saving $24,000, the library budget has been reduced $42,416 in the face of increased patronage, and the business and buildings and grounds departments appropriations have been slashed by $206,400. Children Must Suffer This latter cut, school commissioners point out, will impair care and operation of the $22,000,000 worth of school property, but it can not be avoided. “We would not have the parents and citizens of Indianapolis believe that these economies are being effected with no lessening of efficiency, no curtailment of the curriculum and with no disadvantage to the child,” a board statement asserted. “Such is not possible. Despite the necessity for an increased levy, the budget shows an 11.6 per cent reduction. The commissioners feel they were elected to operate the schools with the highest possible efficiency. “There can be no moratorium in education. Indianapolis must educate today’s children today, or deny to them forever their opportunities. If our children's educational opportunities are to be curtailed further, or stultified, it must be done by some agency other than this board.” The budget, as it stands, shows a decrease of $238,736 under the budget tentatively adopted by the board last spring. PENNSYLVANIA AGAIN IS ASKING FEDERAL RELIEF 1,250,000 of State’s Citizens Are Destitute, R. F. C. Members Told. fly United Press By Scripps-Hotcard Xetcspapcr Alliance WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.—With 1,250,000 of her citizens destitute, Pennsylvania again has laid her claim to federal aid before the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. The board took under advisement the request for reconsideration of the state’s relief application. Pennsylvania applied a second time for relief funds after Pinchot's original request for a maximum loan of $45,000,000, with an immediate advance of $10,000,000, was rejected on the ground that the state had not exhausted all efforts to raise funds within the state.

RUBIO QUITS AS PRESIDENT OF MEXICO Differences With Calles, Nation’s 'Strong Man,’ Brings Crisis. WAR CHIEF TO POST General Rodriquez Likely to Become New Executive; Congress Meets Today. BY JOHN R. MORRIS United Press Staff Correspondent MEXICO CITY, Sept. 3.—President Pascual Ortiz Rubio of Mexico has resigned, the department of interior announced today. The resignation w’as believed due to differences w’ith General Plutarco Elias Calles, “strong man of Mexico.” The present secretary of war, General Alebardo Rodriguez, was believed most likely to succeed to the presidency, if the Mexican congress decides to accept Ortiz Rubio’s resignation. .„ General Rodriguez is well know’n in the United States. He is a successful business man as well as a soldier, former governor of Lower California (northern district). Rift With Calles Blamed Another possible successor to the presidency if Abelardo Rodriguez does not take the office was Albert J. Pani, secretary of the treasury. The official announcement of Ortiz Rubio followed a dramatic cabinet meeting Friday night when the president is said to have told the cabinet of his intentions. His explanation was that since he had been unable to carry out his high duties in a manner satisfactory to himself, he saw no other way out. The resignation was attributed in informed political circles to differences with General Plutarco Elias Calles, president from 1924 to 1928. The latter has been the power behind the government ever since the revolution which swept General Alvaro Obregon into the presidency in 1920. A vote of confidence or a temporary leave of absence voted by congress would cause Rubio to reconsider his decision, according to political observers. It is not considered likely, however, that congress would take either action. Congress to Meet Today Congress was scheduled to meet early today, and Oritz Rubio’s resignation was to be presented. If the resignation is accepted, Oritz Rubio’s cabinet will resign as a matter of course. Friends of Oritz Rubio said he would leave the country if his resignation is accepted. He was expected to go first to the United States. Later possibly to Spain, where he once lived as an engineer, or to Germany, where he served as minister. The Calles-Rubio rift has been a recent development. Oritz Rubio was inaugurated Feb. 5, 1930.

LIBERALS ARE SNUBBED IN ROOSEVELT’S DRIVE

By Scrippg-Hoicard Xetcspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.—None of the Democratic liberals who helped win the Democratic presidential nomination for Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York are listed in tho tentative selection of Democratic orators made public at the party’s New York headquarters. The name of Alfred E. Smith is also missing. Politicians considered the list significant, especially as the list of Republican speakers officially announced Friday contained only conservative members of the G. O. P. In some circles it strengthened the suspicion that Roosevelt now seeks to escape the Republican charge of “radicalism,” and make his appeal to the conservative east as well as to the liberal west. Among the liberals absent from the Democratic list are such senators as Thomas J. Walsh and Burton K. Wheeler of Montana, Clar-

FAIR ‘WEARS GALOSHES’ IN RAINYSTART Boys and Girls of 4-H Club and Their Friends Are Day’s Honor Guests. JUDGING IS UNDER WAY New I. U. Structure Is Magnet to Opening Session Visitors. Wearing galoshes and “sou’westers" and striding beneath a huge umbrella, the Indiana state fair of 1932 opened today. Rain that aimed a blow at the fair's solar plexus attendance—■ proved a bounty to pens upon pens of pigs with their grunting “great stuff.” The cows, horses and sleepy sheep fairly basked in the day's coolness,, while fair officials optimistically brushed the wetness off of hats and said, “We’ll make it up before the w’eek’s over.” First-comers through the turnstiles were the honor guests of the fair day—the boys and girls of 4-H clubs of the state —and their friends. Daybreak saw them currying entrants in the calf and sheep club events in readiness for the judging arena. Open New I. U. Building As one voice, they hopefully backed their club entrants as judges walked around and around the calves and sheep led before them. Each lead-rope with a boy or girl urging docile or balky animals into the arena carried with it the vision of the little blue ribbon that prints victory smiles. While the Midway and its hotdog merchants, candy floss spinners and orangeade purveyors, was silent under the early heavy skies, they took their cash register's solemness as part of the game of following the fair year in and year out. Now and then a hardy soul would dash in rain from the swine building, Coliseum or the Administration building to grab a hamburger with a “lot of onion on it.” The Indiana university's new structure with an auditorium as up-to-date as a modern neighborhood movie show drew the webfooted ones into its shelter as they watched the university’s stage show. Day’s Races Postponed In another division of the I. U. building, the $50,000 in printing equipment loaned by manufacturers for the fair was being warmed up for the printing of the first fair edition of the Indiana Daily Stu - dent on Monday. Presses whirred and linotype machines clicked their song of news of the state’s agrarians. A bemired racetrack caused postponement of the afternoon’s harness races, and caused the followers of the sulkies to dig into past performance records for mudders in the entrants at the opening of grand circuit racing Labor day. Children under 12 were admitted free today and that inducement, coupled with adolescence’s spirit of not letting a little thing like weather keep them away, buoyed up the gate-tenders.

Concerts Are Given Outdoor concerts, with the listeners huddled under protecting eaves or friendly umbrellas, were given by WKBF, WLS and WFBM broadcasting stations. The woman’s building, with its counters laden high with cakes, pies and preserves, was a constant awe to those who cook by can label. Juages were busy tasting with spoons and cutting with knives the various entries. In fact, mother, if she were there, found rigid competition as she watched the blue, red, and white ribbons affixed to bread, doughnuts and pastries. Reverence for the Deity will be the highlight of the fair’s Sabbath with a Washington bicentennial pageant scheduled for the I. U. building and a band concert in the coliseum. Ban Itinerant “Pit” Shows Chief judging competitive events will begin Labor day. The Wild Man from Borneo and the Fat Lady will not be seen at the 1932 exhibition. The itinerant pit” shows have been banned this year for amusement rides. Ample parking space for motorists is afforded by abolishment of the sideshow tents. Illinois-Fairground and College avenue street cars will take visitors to the fair. The automobile route to agriculture’s home for a week is north on Meridian street to Thirtyeighth street and east on Thirtyeighth to the fair’s gates. The general admission charge is 50 cents for adults.
