‘MOVE on; is NATION'S ORDER TO WANDERERS ‘We Can't Care for Our Own Needy,’ Is Plaint of Most Towns. BV KI TH FINNEY Time* Staff Writer WASHINGTON. Feb. I .- Move on! Sometimes the order is accompanied with a bowl of soup or a piece of bread. Sometimes the order is stayed from dusk till dawn, or a little longer, but in city after city, state after state, it greets the weary ears of destitute Jobless boys and men, who have set out alone, or with their families, in search of some relief from extreme poverty. The- senate manufactures committee sent questionnaires to small and medium sized cities in every state in the Union recently, attempting to get detailed information as to how the transient relief problem is being met. Some 600 cities and towns answered. Ninety-five of them said they wore giving no help at all. and though they did not specify, it is a fair inference to suppose that, local police are forcing the destitute out of their jurisdiction in these towns in order to prevent crime.

Keep Them Moving On One hundred seventy-four cities sent word that they are taking definite steps to have transients passed on to some other community. Some of them permit the wanderers to remain over-night, and give them one or more meals, some of them fix two nights as the limit. Some.of them supply gasoline to families on the road in a car of their own. A few of them provide other transportation on to the next town or county. Some of them don't let the destititute stop at all, but order them on, as soon as they appear. Not all of the towns answered the committee’s question in the same form. In addition to the figures already given 134 other cities reported that they are giving temporary aid or “a little help.” Though no limit on their charity is specifically fixed, these cities apparently are not prepared to deal indefinitely with those who come to them from some place else. “Can’t Care for Own” City after city answered, “We can’t care for our own.” Behind the sketchy answers given was evident a determination that the principle of local charity insisted upon Washington throughout the depression, shall be insisted upon now in another sense by communities unwilling to make their own people suffer to care for wanderers. Nor do they permit the wanderer to establish residence and become an added burden any place. Forty of the cities provide nothing for transients but a shelter where they may sleep one night. Some of these permit begging from door to door for the food necessary to carry weary bodies on. Nine other cities say they give food or medicine in extreme emergency. Forty-four permit transient men to sleep in the jail. Few Criticisms of Wanderers Most of the help that is being given is given through private charity. The Salvation Army is bearing the burden in seventy cities, and in many others is doing the relief work with funds provided by local government or by public subscription. Forty-seven of the cities make applicants for help work for the food given them, a few giving cash payment and others giving meal tickets. California cities still are using work relief more than others. The letters are almost entirely free of criticism of the wandering men. Cincinnati reports that 60 per cent of them are college men or high school graduates. DIPLOMAT IS SPEAKER Itotarians Hear Frenchman Explain Nation's Need for Security. “The desire for peace must be genuine, before the conferences of diplomats in Geneva to formulate treaties and peace pacts mean anything.” Count Serge Fleury, French diplomat, told Rotary Club members Tuesday. He urged closer co-opera-tion between America, England and France. “The United States does not understand the French desire for security, because she has friendly neighbors north and south, and her capitol is not within easy striking distance of an enemy,” he said.

WOMEN LOSE TAX RATE WAR Judge Overrules Contention 35 Cent Rate Enough to Run Town. Women officials of the town of Williams Creek lost their court battle today to make a drastic reduction in the town’s 1933 tax rate. Following hearing three weeks ago on their suit against county and township officials, Superior Judge William A. Pickens overruled their contention that a 35-cent rate was sufficient to operate the tow'n, which Pickens held is “not large enough” to constitute a separate taxing unit. Under Pickens’ ruling the town's tax rate will be 51.21 as it is for Washington township (outside), in which Williams Creek is located. The town was incorporated Jan. 24, 1932, by county commissioners. Women officials who sought to enforce the separate rate are Mrs. Helen Spradling, Mrs. Hazel C. Baum, Mrs. Elizabeth Arensman, and Mrs. Carolyn Royne. Defendants in the suit were Timothy Sexton, treasurer; Charles Grassart, auditor. and Robert Sloan, assessor. The Washington township assessor also w’as a defendant. $75,000 SUIT IS FILED Fumes From Candleholder Bought in City Store Injured Lungs. Judgment of $75,000 is asked by Harry F. Swain, Danville, farmer, of the F. W. Woolworth Company in a suit on file today in federal court for lung injuries he charges resulted from fumes of a candleholder. Sw'ain, in his suit, states he bought the candleholder at one of the company’s stores on the statement it W'as made of chalk, but charges it was made largely of sulphur and that when a candle burned low w ; hile he was asleep the sulphur w-as ignited, releasing poisonous fumes.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

ether city officials indicted by the Delaware county grand Jury on charges of conspiracy to commit a felony. Named with Dale were his two sons-in-law, Lester Holloway, city controller, and Glenn Butts, secretary of the fire department. The ether man indicted was Carey Taughenbaugh, city attorney. Each of the defendants posted $6,003 bond and was released from custody of the sheriff late Tuesday. The indictments charged that city employes, including firemen and policemen, were coerced into contributing to a defense fund used by Mayor Dale and eleven others in-

volved in a liquor conspiracy case. Dale and Police Chief Fred Massey were convicted on the liquor charge, but have appealed to the federal circuit court of appeals in Chicago. The mayor's only comment when informed of the new indictments was: •'I don’t know’ what they charge, but I'll beat them.” Deputv Assessor Is Killed LEWISVILLE, Ind., Feb. I.—O. E. Hays, deputy assessor of Henry county, was injured fatally here Tuesday night when he stepped into the path of an automobile driven by Frank Chambers, 22, Richmond.

-5 REPUBLICANS MAP‘EASY TAX' Senators Propose to Show Democrats How to Balance Budget. Claiming they will show the Democrats ‘ how to balance the state budget without, imposing new’ taxes on ths public,” five Republican sena-

tors plan to introduce a bill relating to the division of money derived from automobile license plates. Senator Floyd Garrott 'Rep.. Battle Ground', today explained that the measure, sponsored also by four of his Republican colleagues, would give the state's general fund about $3,700,000 additional revenue. His estimate is based on 1932 sales of plates. This sum. Garrott says, is more than enough to wipe out the anticipated deficit in the state budget. Terms of the Garrott measure divide the collections by giving twothirds to the general funds and onethird to counties. Present laws di-

vide this revenue on an equal basis between the highway commission and counties. Garrott explained that the highway commission, if his bill is adopted. would get revenue only from the gasoline tax. instead of from both auto license and gasoline tax.
