FEAR LEVY GUT WILL RUIN GUY SCHUOL SYSTEM Complete Collapse Faced, Is View of Officials; at Rock Bottom Now. ThU li the first of two stories on outlook of the city's school syktcm under the proposed 11 50 tsx law. Return of education to the standards prevailing in the days of the one-room country school will be faced in Indianapolis, if the school city should be forced by the county tax levy adjustment board to operate on its share of a $1.50 maximum levy. This is the view of school officials, who are awaiting action of the county adjustment board, set up by thejnaximum levy law, with power to grant exceptions in emergencies. Despite reduction of $857,000 in the 1932-33 school budget, it was necessary to increase the school tax levy from $1 to $1,087 because of an 18 per cent reduction in assessea valuation and trebled tax delinquencies. With the 1933 civil city levy set at $1.30, which is 22 cents over this year's levy, and the new county levy of 41.25 cents, also an increase, a total tax levy of more than $3 is faced, compared with $2.79 in Center township this year. Would Get 48 Cents If the adjustment board should decide td enforce the $1.50 maximum, the school city's share would not exceed a levy of 48 cents. On the basis of next year’s reduced valuations, 20 cents of the school city's levy will be required for bonds, interest and other fixed charges which legally can not be reduced or avoided. This would leave a levy of 28 cents with which to operate the schools. Ai2B-cent levy on the new valuation would raise only $2,012,000, less than half enough to meet the present reduced pay roll of $4,673,345, of which $3,934,625 is for teachers’ salaries. r This would make no provision for the maintenance and operation of the $22,000,000 worth of school property, or administrative and material costs. Also Operate Library A large portion of the school budget is taken up with fixed charges and other items over which the board has no control and which are not chargeable directly to education of children. Few persons realize that funds for operation of thee public library system must be raised in the school budget. This year, the library appropriation was set at $360,918, a reduction of $42,416. This cut was made in the face of an unprecedented increase in business at the library. Under state law, the school board is required to provide specified funds for three institutions over which it has no control, the art institute, children’s museum and free kindegarten system. No Alternative Provided The school budget for next yeai includes $49,860 for the kindergartens; $9,235 for the art institute, and $2,500 for the children’s museum. Under the law, the school board has no alternative than to increase its levy sufficient to provide these funds, although it has no voice in the method of their expenditure. Another unavoidable expenditure is a $535,000 payment to the bonded debt sinking fund, the payment being equal to 5 per cent of the bonded debt. Interest on outstanding bonds calls for another payment of $445,000 which can not be reduced. Subtracting these various fixed charges, there is left a budget of only $5,068,413 with which to conduct a school system enrolling almost 60,000 pupils. Salaries Cut 11.77 Per Cent Salaries, which comprise 71.5 per cent of the budget total, were decreased $623,449, or 11.77 per cent. Largest reduction, aside from salaries, was in the item of capital outlay, 1.6 per cent of the total budget, from which fund major repairs, furniture, equipment and replacements are paid for. This item was cut $104,320, or 49.9 per cent. Building maintenance was reduced $18,615, or 16.97 per cent, and classroom, janitorial and office supplies $45,962, or 29.84 per cent. Other item reductions include: i Fixed charges, $34,960, or 3 per cent; utilities, $5,492, or 3.17 per cent, and miscellaneous items, $18,615, or 7.59 per cent. Tire total salary item in the new budget, $4,673,345, includes $3,934,625 for teachers’ salaries, compared with $4,306,678 for teachers’ salaries in the 1931-‘32 budget.

By Scripps-Hoxcard S'ctcspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.—Investigation of working conditions in the Sigmund Eisner Cos. plant at Red Bank, N. J., where army uniforms are made under government contract was completed today by a Scripps-Howard Newspapers’ investigator after Colonel Lester Eisner, president of the company, had challenged information obtained by labor investigators to the effect that workers in the plant were paid from $3.96 t<£sl3 a week and that “sweatshop” conditions existed in his factory. Here is what the Scripps-Howard investigators found: Some of the workers have received as little as $3.96 at the end of a week, but that according to the company books this represented payment for part time piece work. Other low pay slips were found, but employes who had worked a full week averaged at least sls. Some receiving the small sums worked only a few hours during the week. Others were beginners and extremely old persons who were unable to work rapidly and required a longer time, to complete the job.

Following is the explanation of Ripley's “Believe It or Not,” which appeared in Saturday’s Times: The Mind-Reading Dog—Capt. E. C. Lower, owner of “Bozo,” has been training dogs for more than twenty years, but Bozo is the only one that proved susceptible to thought transmissions from a human being. The dog can be seated alone on a stage, his master in the audience, yet react to human thought by barking the number of rings on ladies’ fingers, the number of coins handed to his master, or any number from one to ten of which one may be thinking. I was impressed with Bozo’s uncanny ability, after a recent demonstration in my office.

of the organization, Rule 157 would enable the committeemen to select their own ward chairmen. Two Are Elected Two so were elected. Twenty-four of the twenty-seven committeemen in the Tenth Ward selected Robert Millers; while fifteen of the eighteen in the Second ward chose Frank E. Collman and notified county head- i quarters of their choices. Then Coffin, it also Is revealed, prevailed on the state committee to appoint a sub-committee of three to change the state rules. This committee was composed of Haas, own handpicked member; Ewing Emison, chairman of the Seventh district; and Don Irwin, of the Fifth district, the latter Senator Watson’s keymen on the tate committee. This group several months ago reported back a recommendation for only one change, abolition of Rule 157, and thus again set up autocratic, control in Marion county. “No Need of Rule” They, according to State Chairman Ivan Morgan, asserted that I there was no need of the rule and , that it was evaded toy appointment! of “ward managers” instead of j “ward chairmen,” thus using a technical trick in the phraseology of the rule. With abolition of the party stat- ! ute, Coffin, through his chairman, Ed Bart, has disregarded the overwhelming vote of the committeemen and has appointed Hays R. Shafer, defeated candidate for precinct committeeman, to head the Second instead of Collman, and Theodore Taylor to head thv Tenth ward, instead of Miller. Abolition of the rule also permitted Coffin to cause the appointment of Harmon Campbell, who lives in the Fourth ward, as chairman of the Fifth ward. The change also enabled him to place in key positions his old guard. The list of Marion county Republican ward committeemen reads like a roil call of the ever faithful to the discredited boss. Here Are the Faithful. They are: First, William E. Edwards, veteran in the post; Second, Shafer; Third, Louis Meredith, who closes all nominations and is engineer of the steam roller at the county conventions; Fouth, Louis Fletcher and James Bradford, sdcalled younger Republicans, who traded their Coffin opposition to elect Hart county chairman; Fifth, Campbell; Sixth, Thomas McNulty; Seventh, Joseph Shinn, former state police captain, defeated for precinct committeeman; Eighth, William G. O’Nan; Ninth, the veteran, Fred Bonifield, and Herbert Luckey; Tenth, Taylor; Eleventh, Roscoe Ruffin; Twelfth, Joseph Goldstein, also a Hart trader; Thirteenth, Paul Wetter, former municipal judge, whose wife is Twelfth district vice-chairman; Fourteenth, Martin Hemphill, and Fifteenth, Alfred O. Meloy, United States marshal, and big shot in the CoffinRobinson machine. EXPLORERS IN CITY Sir Hubert Wilkins, Balchen Visit Local Airport. Sunday was “famous explorers’ day” at municipal airport, visitors including Sir Hubert Wilkins, who is planning anew north pole expedition in an undersea craft, and Bernt Balchen, famous aviator, who accompanied Byrd to the south pole. Both men were en route to California on a T. & W. A. plane. Wilkins, ■who said he was on a pleasure trip to the west coast, revealed that he plans to build a vessel to run along the bottom of the ice, in preparation for his new Arctic trip. Balchen refused to reveal his plans other than to admit he was going to California to obtain a speedy new Northrup monoplane, but did not divulge how it would be used. He refused to say whether or not he would be associated with Byrd in anew Antarctic expedition.

Persons who will take part in the discussions include Albert Stump, Joe Rand Beckett, Russel O. Berg, Harvey B. Hartsock, Daniel S. Luten, John F. White, Claude H. Anderso, x William H. Book, W. J.

Stamps Tell Romantic • Stories of Other Lands

This Is another of the weekly articles by Mrs. C. O. Robtnon, 4517 Central avenue, on stamps, hobbies, antiques, ants other matters of interest of which she has made a thorough study. BY MRS. C. O. ROBINSON ONE of the charms of stamp collecting, above mere acquisition, lies in the study of the history and romance of the lands the stamps represent. The turbaned oriental, the strange animals, the worldly pictured scenes, all tell a story to those who listen and respond. Asa philatelist might express it in terms of his hobby: The whole world is my "stamping” ground I’ve “posted" everywhere Until I'm “letter" perfect. I can travfel now by air. I’ve been in “four block” house* In queer corners of this earth. And In England on 'Sir •charges'* You are “grilled” for all you're worth. You “can-cel” me on a jouruey To the farthest trading “post” Where the wildcats “purr-for-rations" "Oh. I 'cover' ground!" is my boast. We have been welcomed to Holland this year with an issue of charity stamps. They greet us hospitably with “Salve Hopes," “Welcome, Stranger,” and the letters A. N. V.

These stamps are very arresting with their bright colors and pictorial designs, and will be a fine advertisement for their country. u tt it WE journeyed to the Imperial Economic Conference at Ottawa in July. This event of major importance was celebrated philatelically by issue of three regular postage stamps—a 3-cent red, bearing the usual likeness of King George; a 5-cent blue (hold your fluttering hearts girls), picturing the Prince of Wales; and a grand picture of him, too, taken when he was younger. The third is a 13-cent light green, very beautiful and twice the size of the ordinary stamps. It shows Britannia seated between the two hemispheres, the parts of

Presidential Race Enters Final 6-Week Stretch

G. 0. P. Starts Intensive Drive to Offset Gains by Democrats. By Scripps-Howard Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.—With President Hoover and Republicans generally on the defensive from coast to coast, the presidential campaign today enters upon its final six-weeks stretch. To offset Democratic gains, Republicans are launching an intensive drive. Vice-President Charles Curtis and Treasury Secretary Ogden Mills will go through the middle west to the Pacific coast. Roosevelt’s western trip has alarmed Republican campaign managers almost as much as the Democratic victory in Maine two weeks ago. The G. O. P. already is aware of the precarious situation in the com and wheat states of the middle west where farmers are in open revolt. Added to these worries are authentic reports that Utah and Michigan, usually dependable Republican strongholds, may go Democratic, too.’ Democratic reports concerning the New England states are not as encouraging as" the information from the west. Campaign strategists in both parties will make their last stand on the Atlantic seaboard. These states will be flooded with speakers, headed by Roosevelt for the Democrats and Hoover for the Republicans. President Hoover now is preparing his first campaign speech since his acceptance address. He will leave next Monday afternoon to speak the following day at Des Moines. 361 TO BE ARRAIGNED Named in Indictments at South Bend by Federal Grand Jury. By Times Special South Bend, Ind., Se|t. 26. Federal officials today were preparing to arraign 361 persons, named in 185 indictments returned late Saturday by the federal grand jury. Most of those indicted are charged with liquor law violation. Sixty-two persons are named in one liquor conspiracy case.

the British Empire indicated by a shading, darker than the other countries of the world. Canada also surcharged the current 5-cent air mail to 6 cents and inscribed across the center,” Ottawa Conference, 1932. They sponsored a special flight, by way of Bradore bay, July 12, the first sale day for these stamps and attached a handsome cachet. Belgium tells us that we either can speak Flemish or French while visiting there, as both languages are official. But we need not expect to have our letters delivered ?n Sunday, as they have, attached o many of their stamps, small perferated tabs which say “Do not deliver on Sunday.” This is printed in both French and Flemish. Belgium was fortunate during the World war in having two great men. Their king, Albert, and Cardinal Mercier, the archbishop of Malines, who was called “The Saint of Patriotism, as well as Piety.” To honor this primate hero, Belgium issued a set of gorgeous stamps this year. They are to be used for postage, of course, but carry a surtax to defray the cost of a monument to him at his birth-place, Braine-1 Allend. an ITALY has issued, this year, a great number of beautiful stamps. An especially unusual one is an air mail which costs 100 lira, or $5, in Italy. This is the highest value air mail ever issued. Dr. T. Victor Keene said at the Stamp Club meeting, “That is enough postage to take a grand piano across the Alps.” He probably agrees with another stamp enthusiast, who feels that some of the issues are put out “merely as a business and little short of aninternational racket.” Now, to get back home. Don’t forget the Penn and Webster stamps to be issued Oct. 24. The Delaware County Chamber of Commerce, 511 Welsh street, Chester, Pa., will sponsor a cachet for the Penn event. If you send cash with your self-addressed envelope they will affix the Penn stamp for you. Also, don’t miss the Tri-State stamp meet at the Hotel Lockerbie ( Sept. 30, Oct. 1, . Come early to see the exhibits, as they will be removed to make room for the auction. There will be special offerings at the auction for young or beginning stamp collectors. Cachets for the near future: Oct. 4—Bicentennial; August Dietz Jr., 109 Cary street, Richmond, Va. Oct. 10—War memorial dedication; Robert Waitt Jr., adjutantgeneral’s office, Richmond, Va.
