COMMITTEE IN FAVOR OF DRY LAW REPEAL Wright Act Doom Asked by Public Morals Group of House. BEER BILL IS HELD UP Amendments Are Expected, After Hearing of Both Wets and Opponents. Repeal of the Wright bone dry law was suported today by the public morals committee of the Indiana house of representatives, but the beer control bill, backed by the administration, was held for amendment. The committee's action followed the first public hearing on beer Monday afternoon, when both sides of the question were aired, featured by an attack by the legislature’s youngest member. Representative Lenhardt E. Bauer (Dem.. Terre Haute), charged that the beer control bill would set up a booze racket in Indiana "that would make A1 Capone look like a piker.” Bauer was one of fifteen speakers, about evenly divided, who addressed the committee, which had the measures under consideration. Fear that trade in beer under the proposed control bill would result in racketeering was based by Bauer on provisions limiting the number of breweries in the state to fifteen, controlled by an excise director. These same points led to rumblings of a revolt last week among house members. Branded as Straddle Discussing draught beer, Bauer recalled a phrase in the Democratic state platform declaring against return of the saloon and branded it "was for straddling purposes by a few politicians.” He quoted from an official letter of the national office of the Brewery, Cereal and Malt Beverage Workers Union, which declared backers of tiie beer bill "either were ignorant or had ulterior motives,” because of elimination of draught beer. The eleven members of the public morals committee were present for the hearing, at which the chairman, Representative John F. Ryan (Dem., Terre Haute), co-author of both bills, presided. With exception of the lone Republican member, Homer Creighton Atwood, who signed a minority report, and a dry Democrat, Harry L. Matlock, Kokomo, who took no action. all members signed the report favoring Wright law repeal. Creighton Makes Protest Creighton introduced a motion in the house protesting further consideration of the repeal bill. "The drys know well that my motion will have no result, but I want it spread on the house record,” Creighton said. Brief verbal exchanges occurred when Ryan inquired of Creighton how he "reconciled his membership in th American Legion with the moton.” "Regardless of my affiliation with the legion, I have a right to my personal opinion, Creighton retorted. Speaker Earl Crawford ordered the protest recorded. Representative Thomas A. Hendricks (Deni., Indianapolis) acted as secretary of the committee. Reading of rhe two bills which formed the subject for discussion required about forty minutes. The committee heard first those whose position was deemed neither wet nor dry, but who would bo affected by a tax on malt used by home brewers and by medicinal whisky regulations. John D. r. Bold.

Roosevelt Prepared to Talk War Debt Revision With All but Defaulters Stimson Invites Italy to Send Envoys to Washington After March 4: France Still May Win Hearing by Paying Up, Observers Believe. BY JOSEPH H. BAIRD United Pres* Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.—The Roosevelt administration, it was learned today, is prepared to discuss debt revision with all countries who paid their Dec. 15 installments. This became known after State Secretary Henry L. Stimson, acting on authority of the President-elect, invited the Italian government to send envoys here after March 4 to discuss revision of its $2,000,000,000 debt.

The British already had been invited to discuss modification of their $4,600,000,000 obligation. This policy opens the way for revision of the debt of Czechoslovakia, Latvia, Lithuania, Esthonia and Finland, presumably, as they either paid in December, or only deferred what they could legally under their funding treaties. France, Belgium, Poland, Greece, Hungary and Austria defaulted on either all or part of their payments. France, owing the United States $4,025,000,000, was the largest of the defaulters. Seen Essential to Recovery Although no definite announcement of policy has been made concerning the defaulters, it is believed here that even the defaulting countries may put themselves in a position to have their debts reviewed by meeting their last Dec. 15 payments. Arrangements for the Italian debt review were made at a conference Monday between Italian ambassador Augosto Rosso and Stimson. The Roosevelt policy means that the entire later winter and spring probably will be consumed by a series of dramatic and fast moving debt conferences designed to rid the western world of a large part of its $11,000,000,000 heritage of war debts. Some economists maintain that the sweeping away of this structure is essential to economic recovery. Sequel to Lausanne The war debt negotiations will be a sequel to the Lausanne reparations conference of last summer. Then Germany was released from its $8,000,000,000 reparations burden and required to pay only about s7so,ooo.ooo—and that conditionally. Reduction of the war debt is expected to pave the way for ratification of the Lausanne agreement by the reparations receiving powers. They conditioned their ratification on making a satisfactory adjustment of their war debts to the United States. Early in March, it is expected, delegations from Europe will be speeding across the Atlantic to Washington. Inasmuch as the more powerful debtors probably will discuss economic questions as well as war debts, the negotiations here will take on the semblance of a preliminary economic conference to prepare for that to be held later in London. However, the debt discussions here will be with individual debtor nations and they will not meet jointly. President-Elect Roosevelt has made clear that, he views debt adjustments should be discussed in this manner, and not at an international conference between all debtors and this country.

Bloody Gran Chaco Battle Is Raging in Fifth Day

BY A. L. BRADFORD United Press Staff Correspondent BUENOS AIRES. Jan. 24.—One of the bloodiest battles in modern South American history entered its fifth day today in the Gran Chaco, where Bolivia and Paraguay have been fighting an “undeclared war" for nearly seven months. Thousands have been killed or wounded in the conflict. The latest engagement was in the sector known to the Paraguayans as Nanawa and to the Bolivians as Ayala. The Bolivians, who had been on the defense in the face of a Paraguayan drive until General Hans Kundt returned from Germany to assume the Bolivian high command, made a desperate attempt to break through the Paraguayan lines. It was believed that General Kundt mapped out the offensive. The casualties in the Nanawa sector were more than 4.000 killed or wounded, if dispatches from Bolivian and Paraguayan headquarters at the front could be credited. The latest reports from La Paz, Bolivian capital, claimed that the Paraguayans lost 1.500 killed and 12.000 wounded in the first four days 1 of the battle.

2 CITY WOMEN DIE IN CRASH Killed Instantly When Car Is Struck by Train Near Greenfield. Mrs. Walter Lee, 43, of 12 South Mount street, and her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Pauline Lee, 27. of the same address, a recent bride, were killed instantly today when the auto in which they were riding was struck by a passenger train near Greenfield. Bodies of the victims were mangled so badly that Greenfield police first could not determine identity of the victims. Occupants of the auto when it left Indianapolis were Mrs. Walter Lee, 43; Mrs. Pauline Lee and Mrs. Frank Borst, 18, daughter of Mrs. Walter Lee. Relatives said Mrs. Walter Lee left her home with the women to visit her sister, living four miles south of Greenfield. The car was northbound toward Greenfield when it was struck. SUPREME COURT TO REMODEL QUARTERS Drop Plans to Move Into Library Building. Plans of the Indiana supreme court to secure quarters in the new Indiana State Library building have been abandoned, it was learned today. Instead, the present quarters of the court in the statehouse will be remodeled so that each judge will have a private study. Members of the court discussed the matter of moving into the new Library building with Governor Paul V. McNutt and secured his tacit approval. They then were taken for a tour of the building under direction of the library building board and architects and shown that to move the courts when the building is nearing completion would spoil the original plans and result in a hodge-podge.

WABASH RUNS OUT JOBLESS ORGANIZER ‘Posse’ Escorts Chicagoan to Point Far From City. By 1 nitrd Press WABASH, Ind., Jan. 24.—A Chicago organizer for the unemployed council W'as escorted out of town Monday night by an unidentified group of Wrbash men. He w'as said to have been Roy Larson who delievered a speech at a local meeting hall. Immediately after he had finished, about fifty men entered the hall and started heckling Carl Hautt, Wabash, who had follow'ed Larson on the program. In the confusion Larson ran from the building but w'as pursued, placed in an automobile and driven about fifteen miles toward Chicago, w'here he was let out. Police found no violence w'hen they arrived in answer to a riot call.

La Paz reported officially that the Bolivians had taken up strategic positions designed to prevent the Paraguayans from receiving reinforcements from the north. Equally optimistic Paraguayan reports from Asuncion made it difficult to tell who was winning. The Bolivian losses in the present battle were estimated at approximately 2,000 killed, including manv ■ officers. Paraguayan losses were described as “slight.”

TECHNOCRACY IS REPUDIATED BY COLUMBIA Howard Scott Disavowed by University; Support Is Withdrawn. CONFLICTS IN THEORIES School to Go On With Its Research; New Group to Change Name. BY SIDNEY B. WHIPPLE United Press Stiff Correspondent NEW YORK, Jan. 24.—Columbia university has repudiated Howard Scott, disavowed Technocracy, and withdrawn all support for the theories and "laboratory work” under his direction. In a manifesto signed by four of the one-time “key men” surrounding Scott, headed by Professor Walter Rautenstrauch, announcement was made Monday night that study of some phases of industrial research would be continued, but that "we are withdrawing from association with Technocracy.” Such research as is continued, into natural resources and industrial changes, will be conducted "by a new organization, under another name.” The announcement was signed by Rautenstrauch, hitherto one of Scott’s most vigorous supporters, and Bassett Jones, Frederick I. Ackerman, New York architect, and Leon Henderson of the Russell Sage Foundation. It was made in the engineering hall at Columbia, following a meeting of professors at the Engineer’s Club. Scott Is 111 at Home "We are not in accord with some of the statements and attitude expressed by Mr. Howard Scott,” Rautenstrauch’s statement said, “ and because of the misunderstandings and confusion, we are wjitfidrawing from association with technocracy, ; and will continue researches and investigation under a new' organization and anew name, the details of which will be announced at an early date.” Professor Rautenstrauch, in making his announcement gave an emphatic "no” in answer to questions on whether Scott would continue to work at Columbia. "Technocracy ceases to exist as far as we are concerned,” he said. Asked to define the “statements and attitudes” of Scott with which the dissenting group was not in accord, Rautenstrauch impatiently declared “I think it is perfectly obvious.” Form New Research Group He said the Columbia group had no connection with the recently formed Continental Committee on Technocracy, and w'as “not interested” in it. He did not know, he said W'hat disposition would be made of the 300 charts already prepared, which bear | the title "Energy Survey of North America, Howard Scott, director.” He likewise refused to comment on what would be done w'ith the data which the new group would collect. Professor Rautenstrauch will head the new research development, with the assistance of Jones, New York engineer, who was an original member of the Scott group. This work has the official approval of Dean Joseph W. Barker, head of the Columbia engineering school. Scott has been ill for several days. "All this excitement over technocracy has undermined his health,” his wife, Mrs. Eleanor Steele Scott, said today. “He is not extremely ill, but he is in bed, and I expect to keep him there for several days.” Movement Spreads Quickly The prophet of technocracy brought his theories to Columbia university out of Greenwich Village and Pompton Lakes, N. J., where for years he discussed them w'ith all who w’ould listen. Five months ago his association with the university, where he had asked for "laboratory space,’’ became known. Whether the name “technocracy” W'as its best advertisement, or whether the public was waiting for anew social prophet, the movement spread over the country with extraordinary rapidity. Scott Is Mystery Man BY PAUL HARRISON NEA Service Writer NEW YORK, Jan. 24.—1f there is anything about technocracy that is more puzzling than its methods, mere baffling than its “theory of energy determinants,” or more fabulous than its Utopian dreams, it is technocracy’s own high priest— Howard Scott.

Jane Addams, Darrow Are Reds, Says Illinois Legion Communists Because They Oppose War, Is Claim; Noted Woman Social Worker Strikes Back. By United Press CHICAGO, Jan. 24.—The Americanism commission of the Illinois department of the American Legion has charged that Jane Addams, Clarence Darrow and other individuals and organizations are Communistic. Miss Addams promptly denied the charge. “Those who put out this statement have a right to differ with us, but they have no right to assume that because we differ with them we are not patriotic,” said Miss Addams.

The commission charged that Miss Addams, Darrow', the Methodist board of temperance and public morals, and other individuals and organizations were Communistic and subversive, in that they were “interlocking associates in in-ternational-pacifist-defeatist organizations.” Minsters Are Named A chart issued by the commission pictured the Third Internationale as the hub of w'heel of Communism. Spokes of the wheel led to a rim composed of “interlocking associates,” among which the names of Darrow' and Miss Addams appeared. Organizations included were the Fellowship of Faiths, International League for Peace and Freedom, Fellowship of Reconciliation, League of Neighbors, Union of East and West, American Civil Liberties Union, People’s Lobby and the Methodist board of temperance and public morals. Several ministers and half a dozen professors w'ere included among the individuals whom the commission charged with being “subversive.” Miss Addams Replies Russell Cook, national director of the Americanism committee of the American Legion, declared the j commission report was “a very good | one.” Miss Addams said in reply that I it was “too bad that they (the j charts) should be used by nice; young men of the legion, for it in- i dicates confusion of mind.” Miss Addams said that once before when a legion organization criticised her, many legion men sent her personal apologies. “Communists do not think I am a Communist,” she said. "I have told them this generation should get rid of class war and that I did not regard them (Communists) as really against war at all. “To assume that a citizen who is against war is unpatriotic is illogical. We have as much national feeling as they. No one wants peace without honor; but in war, honor often flies away.” 600 to Get Steel Jobs By United Press INDIANA HARBOR.

SAFETY WALL FOR FALL CREEK URGED Recommendation to Be Made to City Officials.

Announcement of Dr. Arbuckle’s plan was made today during continuation of the investigation into the deaths of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Evans, newly married Richmond couple, who plunged into Fall creek over the north embankment at Talbot street Saturday night. “Following a visit to the scene of the accident, I am convinced that a more adequate warning than a red light should be displayed at streets which end in the creek,” Arbuckle said. "Unfortunately, motorists will ignore, or misunderstand, a red light, and there should be a retaining fence sufficiently strong to prevent any car and its occupants from plunging into the water.” Du Pont Earnings Show Gain By t nitrd Press WILMINGTON, Del., Jan. 24.Earnings of E.

DEBTOR RELIEF BILL RUSHED TO AVERT DISASTER Railroads on Verge of Crash, House Judiciary Committee Warns, Calling for Immediate Enactment. MEASURE UP FOR PASSAGE MONDAY Drastic Rules Will Prevent Delay; Substantial Aid Forecast for All Classes, Including Farmers. By United Press W ASHINGTON, Jan. 24.—W arning that “many” of the nation s great railroads stand on the verge of receiverships, tne house judiciary committee today formally filed its report on the La Guardia-McKeown debtor relief and bankruptcy bill. “The necessity” for “immediate enactment” was stressed by the committee, which for months has sought a remedy for the crushing burden of unpayable debts confronting individuals and corporations.

SILVER COINAGE FIGHT OPENED Trebled Agricultural Prices in Year Offered by Wheeler in Senate. By United Press WASHINGTON. Jan. 24.—Trebled agricultural prices, mounting stock quotations and better times were offered to the senate today by Senator Burton K. Wheeler (Dem., Mont.) in exchange for free coinage of sliver. William Jennings Bryan’s plea for the debtor, agricultural west was pounded at the senate over protests of Senator Carter Glass (Dem., Va.) who said Wheeler’s proposed 16 to 1 silver coinage amendment was foreign to the purpose of his pending bank bill. Wheeler told the senate that in one year after enactment of his bill the "price of wheat, cotton and all agricultural products would be trebled.” Glass protested against the proffer of amendments foreign to the purpose of his measure, and promised in the future to move to lay them on the table. "Unemployment rapidly would be solved,” Wheeler said, unimpressed by Glass’ protests. "The bill would relieve starvation, common stocks, and honestly, efficiently managed and properly financed corporations would appreciate in value. "Free coinage of silver would make the tariff effective against the products of countries with depreciated currencies. It would increase the cost of production in those countries, the cost of their labor and the sum of all fixed charges. They would be unable to undersell us. Wheeler warned the senate that "a small revolution, if it can’t be called anything else, prevails in the mid-west and is spreading.” 40 HELD UP IN OFFICE: BANDITS GET $3,000 Gangsters Force Insurance Company Employes to Huddle on Floor.

He indicated the state banking department's report on conditions of the bank prior to its closing, Oct. 28, 1930, was not satisfactory. A more detailed report will be demanded of the state banking ex- I aminer, Cox declared. “Why is there need for silence on certain matters pertaining to the bank?

Evidence disclosed Mrs. Miller had j requested the bank's officials allow her to withdraw a $2,800 deposit a few hours before the bank closed.

The bill, backed by both Democratic and Republican leaders and having- the earnest indorsement of President Hoover, will be presented to the house for passage Monday, under a drastic rule not permitting amendments or extensive debate. The committee report, while emphasizing that the measure will bring substantial aid to all classes of debtors, including the farmer stressed the plight of the great transportation systems. Needs Speedy Action ‘ Necessity for its immediate enactment (the railroad reorganization section) results,” the committee said, “from the fact that at the present time many railroads of the country confront necessity for reorganization. • They have reached the limit of their ability to borrow from the Reconstruction Finance Cororation. They either must reorganize under some arrangement such as provided for by this section, or be administered in equity receiverships.” The report sharply criticised ordinary procedure of receivership, attacking ‘‘the opportunity for manipulations on the part of special groups,” which, it says, “are too well known to require comment.” The bill, in addition to permitting railroads and other corporations to reorganize with lessened indebtedness, definitely gives the interstate commerce commission authority to fix compensation for those engaged in the reorganization. Would Halt Plundering “This,” the report adds, "definitely should put a stop to the wholesale plundering by reorganization managers, both by way of fees and for commissions covering new securities.” The McKeown-La Guardia bill, as finally reported, is more liberal than the form of relief first proposed to the committee. For the individual ti provides: He may go into court, declare himself insolvent, have his possessions inventoried by a receiver, and at a meeting of his creditors propose a plan for meeting his obligations in part, or in full, over an extended term of years. If a majority of the creditors approve, the court is asked to confirm the proposal. If a majority does not approve, the debtor still may ask and receive from the court an extension of time. For the man against whom a mortgage stands it provides: He may go into court following this same procedure, and if the holder of his mortgage does not agree voluntarily to scale down the debt, the court may force him to extend the life of the mortgage. Provides for Corporations For corporations it provides: That a plan of reorganization proposed by creditors holding 10 per cent of the claims may be presented to the court and by it made binding upon all but secured creditors, if two-thirds of the creditors approve and the court is convinced it is equitable. Secured creditors have the option of taking the equity which would be theirs in bankruptcy proceedings. For railroads it provides: That a plan of reorganization shall be drawn under direction of the interstate commerce commission. Plans submitted to the court for approval could be rejected or accepted, but not amended. Approval of two-thirds of the creditors in each class is to be sought, but if two-thirds of any one class of creditors approves, reorganization can proceed, with other creditors retaining the status they would have in bankruptcy proceedings.
