DEMOCRATS TO PUSH FARM AID FIGHT TO FORE Legislation for Short Session Is Drafted; Capital Is Amazed. By ficripps-llotcard X cicspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Nov. 24—'While the nation today celebrated its traditional feast of the bountiful harvest, Democratic congressional leaders planned legislation for the coming short session of congress to lift the “curse of plenty” and raise ruinously low farm prices. To the Democratic program calling for beer, repeal and federal economy, farm relief legslation has been added as a result of the Roosevelt conferences, it was learned through Senator Kenneth McKellar (Dem., Tenn.) After conferring with the Presi-dent-elect along with our party leaders, McKellar said: “Only the Presdent-elect should state what took place. It was one of the most harmonious conferences ever held. I look for a most active short session of congress, at which farm relief and reduction of governmental expenses will play most important roles.” There is some confusion, however, about how the intricate subject of farm relief may be met in the three-month session, which will be otherwise complicated by prohibition legislation and appropriation bills. It had been expected that the short session would concern itself with efforts to scale down the farm mortgage debt, and leave consideration of the various plans for farm relief until another and longer session. Whether this still is the program is in doubt. McKellar said that no details were discussed with Roosevelt. But Bernard M. Baruch, Roosevelt adviser, discussed the allotment farm relief plan with Democratic leaders in congress. New figures of the department of agriculture demonstrate once more the plight of farmers. These show that the gross income from farm production for 1932 is estimated tentatively at $5,240,000,000. This compares with $6,955,000,000 gross income in 1931, and $9,403,000,000 in 1930. The gross income of farmers in 1929, itself a poor year, was sll,950,000,000. ELDERLY MAN HURT IN TRAFFIC MISHAP Boy Also Is Hurt in Auto Spill on City’s East Side. Cuts on the face were incurred Wednesday night by Edward Shearer, 67, of 2609 Southeastern avenue, when he was struck by aa automobile driven by Herman Grote, 47, of 1319 East Raymond street, as he stepped from a curb at Capitol avenue and Vermont street. Dewey Murphy, 12, of 516 South Vine street, incurred a cut on the head when the automobile driven by his mother, Mrs. Grace Murphy, was struck by a car driven by R. E. Chenck, 38, Greencastle, in the 3900 block, West Washington street. No one was injured in a traffic crash near Market and East streets, but one of the drivers, William J. Kelly, 29, of 2916 Meredith street, was arrested on charges of drunkenness, drunken driving and failure to stop after an accident. His car struck that of Edward Stevens, 20, of 1636 Le Grande avenue.

TAX RELIEF IN STATE PLEDGED Democrats Make Promises to Apartment Owners. Sources of tax revenue, other than real estate, will be tapped at the next session of the legislature, Democratic members of the house and senate assured, members of the Indianapolis Apartment Owners’ Association at the Washington, Wednesday. Speakers included State Senators A. Leroy Portteus, M. M. Mahoney, Leo X. Smith and E. Curtis White, and Representative Fred S. Galloway. “It is up to the next legislature to take such steps as will enable the owners of homes, farms and apartments to get out from under the unjust burdens they have been carrying,” Portteus sad. “Starting with the $1.50 property tax limitation law, we must broaden out the tax base so that we can bring into the public treasury funds sufficient to pay our cost of government without jeopardizing property of any sort.” White said that bonded indebtedness can not be cut down and, therefore, laws must be passed to find sufficient funds to meet governmental budgets. Smith urged passage of income and intangible tax laws.

Morrissey, Sheafer at Odds in ‘Tipoff’ Probe

Judge Backs Rariden While Chief Demands to Know the ‘lnside.’ Another rift occurred at police headquarters today as Chief Mike Morrissey and Municipal Judge Wiliam H. Sheaffer said they were conducting separate probes of the possibility of a “tipofl” in the Showboat night club raid. Morrissey was demanding to know circumstances of Sergeant Samuel Rariden’s presence at the roadhouse during the raid. Morrissey claims that Rariden is a police officer and that he, as chief, has the right to “know what he is doing.” Morrissey said Rariden did not sign the report of the raid, conducted by police and federal agents. Sheaffer, meanwhile, asserted he had spent several hours W T ednesday seeking to learn if the “tipoff” intimation of Russell Dean, deputy prosecutor, had any foundation. “And I'm backing Rariden,” Sheaffer said. “He didn't know he was going on that raid until the last minute and I directed him to go when it appeared another officer would be needed.” Trial of Frank Cantwell, operator of the place, and Claude Williams, 1124 North New Jersey street, has been continued in Sheaffer’s court until Dec. 6. Cantwell is charged with operating a blind tiger and Williams with keeping a gaming house. Both are at liberty under bond.

True to her husband’s characterization that she is a “prize fighter,” Mrs. Gail Heilman, 36, scored a “knockout” blow Wednesday by temporarily halting a superior court trial in which her 85-year-old husband, Frank B. Heilman, former railroader, seeks to annul the marriage. While Superior Judge Joseph R. Williams listened tovidence of the young wife’s alleged “undue influence” on her aged husband, Mrs. Heilman, through her attorney, obtained a supreme court order temporarily blocking the trial. Order of the high court was granted on allegation that Williams erred in failing to grant a motion for dismissal of the husband’s suit. The supreme court hearing is set for Dec. 6.

State’s Organized Labor Boosts Tobin for Cabinet

International President of Teamster’s Union Aided Democrat Campaign. Indiana organized labor is consolidating its strength to obtain a post in the Roosevelt cabinet for Daniel J. Tobin, president of the Teamsters and Chauffeurs’ International Union. Labor will have the support of the Democratic state organization in its efforts to obtain the position of secretary of labor for Tobin, it is learned. For twenty-five years Tobin has been president of his international but has kept partisan politics out of the union. • Campaign Service Praised In the recent campaign he was named national chairman of the Democratic labor committee and performed yeoman service in praise of which candidates over the nation are loud. The chairman of the similar Republican committee was William L. Hutcheson, head of the Carpenters’ and Joiners’ International, who was a delegate-at-large to the G. O. P. national convention. If President Hoover had been reelected, Hutcheson would have received much consideration for the post now held by William Doak. Tobin has not signified that he desires to become secretary of labor. O. K. With M’Nutt, Van Nuys His salary as president of the Teamsters’ and Chauffeurs’ union is far in excess of the $12,000 he would be paid as a cabinet member. But organized labor in the state feels that not only should this section of the country be represented in the Roosevelt cabinet, but that Tobin is the proper person to do so. Both Frederick Van Nuys, senatorelect, and Paul V. McNutt, Governorelect, are profuse in their praise of labor’s efforts in their behalf, and Tobin’s part in its activities and are expected to indorse the application if he cares to make a bid for the post.

‘FLOATING ARMY' HELD PERIL TO FUTUREJJF U. S. Alarming Social Problem Seen in Wanderers Living in Misery. BY MAX STERN Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Nov. 24. —The horde of nearly 1,000,000 jobless men and boys now wandering over the country is becoming a national social problem of alarming proportions, according to Dr. A. W. McMillen. University of Chicago social economist, who made the first report on this situation for the United States childrens bureau. Dr. McMillen agrees with Brigadier-General Pelham D. Glassford that none of the states except California has provided adequate relief for these depression victims. Glassford has announced he would head a movement to ask congress for immediate funds to aid the states in feeding and housing the transients. Problem Most Be Faced “The communities of the south, southwest and far west are being beset now with a problem that can not be ignored longer,” McMillen said today. “I just have returned from a trip through these states. What I saw was a running picture of almost incredible misery. The communities are being forced to spend all their own funds on their own needy families. Transients from other states are treated as an afterthought. “What relief is offered is given largely because the communities wish to protect their property. The type of relief for the most part is a one-night stopover in makeshift flop houses, with one or two handouts of inadequate food. Then the transients must ‘move on.’ Journey of Misery “The endless journeys southward and westward and back must be to these men and boys one long nightmare of poor food, dirt, vermin, exposure, illness and danger of death from moving trains. “In one place in Arizona the only food offered the men was the leavings from the mess of a soldiers’ camp, the only bed the floor of an adobe shelter.” , Dr. McMillen found the wanderers included an amazing number of boys. Out of 356 men counted at Phoenix, sixty-seven were boys under 21. He thinks the proportion of juveniles will run 25 per cent.

i INSURGENTS TO STEER CLEAR IN SHORTSESSION Democratic Help From Progressives Is Seen as ‘Pipe Dream/ By United Been WASHINGTON. Nov. 24—Although the progressive Republican bloc has the power to turn control of the senate over to the Democrats in the short session soon to open, that contingency is regarded as remote by practical politicians. The suggestion that the progressives, principal advocates of the lame duck amendment passed at the last session, might show their allegiance to the letter and spirit of that enactment, by assisting the Democrats to reorganize the senate, is a beautiful theory, but a theory only, say the politicians. It is pointed out that for the Democrats to assume control through the medium of progressive votes, and without a clear majority, would entail an ambiguous responsibility and a doubtful benefit. In other words, many Democrats believe it would be poor political strategy, especially in view of the fact that after March 4 they will be in undisputed power in both houses. Attention is called to the fact also that not all progressives openly supported Roosevelt. Senators George W. Norris <Neb.), Bronson Cutting (N. M.), Hiram Johnson (Cal.), and Robert La Follette <Wis.), took the stump against Hoover. Were they to vote with the Democrats on reorganization, they would help to throw their progressive colleagues out of committee chairmanships. Os the thirty-five standing senate committees, the Republican progressives now head eleven. For them to relinquish these important posts for theoretical loyalty to the lame duck amendment would be to upset all existing senate relationships, turn a large number of clerks and employes out into the cold, and surrender most of their own power.
