JOBLESS RELIEF REVOLT FLARES Action by House Labor Committee Blocks Vote on Forest Program. Illi I nih il I'rcH* WASHINGTON, March 22.—President Roosevelt's proposal to recruit an army of 250,000 jobless, and put them to work at $1 a day on government projects was blocked at least temporarily today by the house labor committee. A defiant revolt has flared on the measure. The labor group, headed by Chairman Connery, announced for the President's plan, voted formally to hold public hearings of indefiinte duration before attempting to make a report on the Bryns bill authorizing the formation of the labor corps. The American Federation of Labor, powerful spokesman for a million voters, declared officially against the relief program. President William Green of the federation said he found it “repugnant” and dangerous to wage scales. His opinion was echoed by congressional leaders of the “labor bloc.” Chairman Connery flatly refused to introduce the bill. Connery and other opponents of the bill concentrated their attacks on its ''military discipline” and low wage provisions. Labor Secretary Francis Perkins announced that the “employment army” would be recruited largely through the war department's enlistment service. Jobless men who “enlist’ for a required year will be uniformed, paid army wages of $1 a day, gathered in work camps under strict discipline, and then set to work upon reforestation and reclamation projects.

BIG PERRY STADIUM TAX PLAN REJECTED Council Turns Down Proposal for SI,OOO Levy.

John Ruckelshaus. attorney for the ball park, appeared before the council, and informed it that a SI,OOO license fee at this time would place an unreasonable burden on the stadium operating company. Wheatley originally had sought to impose a $2,500 tax, but the figure was reduced to the SI,OOO placed in the ordinance, after a conference with the city legal department. He also had favored charging the ball park $4 a day for each policeman and firemen used at the park, but this proposal also was dropped.

Murder Suspects Linked With Daring City Holdups Gang Held in Sergeant Jones Siaying Is Believed Guilty of Garage Robbery and Kidnaping. BY HEZE CLARK Times Staff Writer Kmployes of the Peoples Motor Coach Company this afternoon were reported to have identified a photo of one of the Sergeant Jones murder suspects as one of the bandits in the company’s garage the morning of the slaying. Members of the gang of suspects held in Covington, Ky., in connection with the slaying of Police Sergeant Lester E. Jones today were said to lie linked with the theft of two automobiles and kidnaping of employes of the Thirtieth street garage, Nov. 30, 1932.

Stanley Myers, employe of the garage, who was forced to ride in one of the bandit cars after the auto robbery, said he identified suspects’ pictures as “the birds who took me for a ride.” Chief Mike Morrissey, who returned from Covington, where legal snags tied up extradition of the six suspects, said the Buick car found in possession of one of the prisoners had been identified as one of the two cars stolen from the north side garage. Motor Numbers Checked The motor numbers have been checked definitely, he said. The car was the property of W. A. Cartwright, 3119 North Meridian street. A Cadillac stolen at the same time has not been found. The Buick is held in the city garage at Covington by the Kenton county <Ky.) sheriff. Myers, after first stating that the pictures of the Covington prisoners were those of the garage looters, declared that he wanted to see the men in person, “because they were dressed better when I saw them.” Seek Other Evidence Meanwhile, other Indianapolis detectives, armed with photos of the suspects, are canvassing companies where recent robberies have been staged. One is the Capitol Dairies, where five bandits staged a robbery a few hours before Sergeant Jones was slain in the garage of the Peoples Motor Coach Company, Twenty-second and Yandes streets. Local persons who may be able to identify the photos are expected to be taken to Covington and later to Frankfort, where extradition hearing may be held early next week. The legal battle will start Thursday at Covington, when the men and the woman are to open a county circuit court fight for bail. Six in Custody Those held in Covington under charges filed Tuesday by the Marion county grand jury are: Willie Mason, alleged safe cracker; A1 Thompson, Edward Miller, Fred Adams, George Schwartz, reputed former Chicago gangster, and Mary Phillips. 21-year-old sweetheart of one of the alleged killers. Mason, who now says he never was in Indianapolis in his life, is near death in St. Elizabeth’s hospital. Covington. A bullet wound in his left foot has resulted in infection which probably will necessitate removal. Arsenal Is Found The arsenal found in the Erlanger (Ky.) raid Monday, when the suspects were nabbed, is held in Covington. Thompson, who, with the others has refused to talk since his arrest. is alleged by deputy sheriffs to have offered them $l5O to permit him to escape during the roundup Monday afternoon. Detective John Drees of the Covington Bertillon department, has identified partially a fingerprint of Thompson as one appearing on a tag found in the bus company garage. He will forward his specimens to local authorities for checking. Speedy justice for suspects was promised today by Herbert E. Wilson, prosecutor. Quick Action Sought Tli’ trial, in which the death penalty will be demanded, will be held a month after the men are returned to Indianapolis and arraigned, Wilson said. Each of the five men is charged with first degree murder in commission of robbery, and the woman is charged with conspiracy to commit robbery. “I will request Criminal Judge Frank P. Baker to the trial daV one month after arraignment." Wit son said.

‘BRIDGE DEATH' QUIZ RESUMED More Witnesses Called in Effort to Clear Up Taylor Mystery. Dr. John Wyttenbach, deputy coroner, today resumed his inquiry into the death of Von D. Taylor, 31, of 923 Leland avenue, calling more witnesses in an effort to clear up mysterious circumstances surrounding the skull fracture suffered by the former athlete. An autopsy has revealed Taylor’s death due to the fracture, but Dr Wyttenbach believes the type of the fracture would be “very unlikely” to be caused by a fall. Taylor, formerly well known as a basketball and football player and amateur wrestler, was found dying in front of his home about 2 Sunday morning. The Taylors and Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Smock. 517 North De Quincy street, had played bridge the night before, the game breaking up early after a friendly argument. The Smocks went home and Mrs. Taylor spent the night with them, leaving Taylor at home alone, according to the widow. A milk wagon driver found Taylor lying in the street in front of the Taylor home, which was ablaze with lights. Taylor died Sunday night at city hospital without regaining consciousness. Funeral services will be held at 2 this afternoon in the Wallace Street Presbyterian church, with burial in Memorial Park cemetery. His parents and one sister survive Taylor.

U. S. Moves to Press Income Tax Charge Against Mitchell Immediately

NEW YORK. March 22.—Under orders from Washington, the United States attorney's office prepared today to press immediately its charge of income tax evasion against Charles E. Mitchell, one of the financial heroes of the boom days. Mitchell, former chairman of all the vast enterprises affiliated with the National City ban*, was arrested Tuesday night at his Fifth avenue home, and was released in SIO,OOO bail. Evidence to support the government's charge that Mitchell evaded a $657,124.40 tax due on his 1929 income will be presented to the federal grand jury at once, and if an indictment is returned the case will be tried speedily. The statute of limitations leaves only a few weeks for action. United States Attorney George Z. Medalie announced that he had delayed taking action aca'nst anothe-•v-rmnent ban' J- h W •**

THEATER UNION CHIEF CALLED Mayor Urges International Head to Avert Wage Strike Here. Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan today urged William E. Elliott of New York, president of the International Union of Motion Picture Operators and Stage Hands, to come to Indianapolis in an endeavor to avert a wage strike set to close theaters after Thursday night. Sullivan sent a telegram to Elliott after a conference arranged by Governor Paul V. McNutt failed of result. At the conference, attended by employes’ representatives and theater owners, Arthur Lyday, representing the employes, exhibited a telegram from international union leaders advising against arbitration of the dispute, and recommending further negotiations “inasmuch as present conditions warrant consideration.” According to statements issued by the owners, decreased revenues in recent past months have made’necessary a reduction in overhead expense, including salaries of all employes. Nonunion workers on the theater staffs have accepted cuts ranging as high as 50 per cent, it was said. Union employes, including motion picture machine operators, musicians and stage hands, refused to take a lower scale. Business agents of the unions declared that their men would accept a reduction, provided that contracts, now only five months old, would be extended. Meeiings between the owners and employes failed to break the deadlock, and an attempt by Mayor Sullivan to bring about an agreement also proved fruitless at conferences Saturday and Sunday.

SHOWALTER QUITS STATEJAX BOARD Resignation of Republican Effective April 1. James Showalter <Rep., Wabash), appointee of former Governor Harry G. Leslie and one-time chairman of the state tax board, has resigned as a board memoer, effective April 1. Under the McNutt governmental reorganization he would have been removed June 1, if not displaced before that time. The other Republican board member is Gaylord Morton, former secretary to Leslie. Phil Zoercher, now board chairman, is a Democrat. He has served for years under Republican regimes. All state appointees not reappointed by June 1, automatically are out under the reorganization law.

The delay was requested by the controller of the currency to give time to reorganize the Harriman National bank, it was explained, but the bank was not reorganized. It was not allowed to reopen after the national bank holiday, and Harriman, its president, was arrested, charged with financing bank stock purchases through false entries in customers’ accounts. No more delays in prosecutions of bankers or financiers will be allowed for the sake of maintaining public confidence, it was made clear here and in Washington. This was no cheering news in the New York financial community, for the charge against Mitchell was based upon a stock transaction of a type admittedly not rare in 1929. Mitchell, according to his own testimony before the senate banking committee, sold 18.000 shares of -nal City bank stock to a -Vr of his family” late in 1929. j n it back in March at $212 a

BEER, WINE BILL IS SIGNED BY ROOSEVELT; SALE OF 3.2 BEVERAGES LEGAL APRIL 7

Weep, Thirsty—No Brew for Indiana Until June 1 Delay Due to Getting License Machinery Into Action, Says Paul Fry, Excise Shies. PREPARE to shed tears, ye thirsty, who had looked forward to April 7 as a memorable day—a day when a bottle of foaming amber brew could be purchased legally in Indiana after years of drought, instead of draught. “Beer in Indiana is unlikely before June 1.” was the word passed out today by Paul Fry,' recently appointed excise director and state purchasing agent. Thus does the state “beer czar” dispel the hopes of thousands of parched citizens and retard the plans of business men intending to engage in the distributing end of the revived industry.

"No licenses have been issued to brewers, wholesalers or retailers,” Fry said, “and there is going to be a considerable delay before any are.” "Thirty to sixty days probably will be required to get our license machinery in operation. There are a thousand and one details to be taken care of in preparing for the return of beer, and medicinal whisky as well. "For example, we are being held up on whisky by delay in getting the revenue stamps engraved. It will be a week before these are ready. “I have several hundred applications on hand for brewer, wholesaler and retailer licenses and the general reputability and financial responsibility of many of these applicants have to be investigated. Many of them do not realize how much it’s going to cost them to handle beer.” Asked if the delay is due, in part, to a desire to prevent outstate breweries from getting the cream of the first business, Fry said that is not a part of the excise policy. It was pointed out to him that it would be a simple matter to issue impoiter licenses to jobbers who are handling near-beer manufactured by established breweries which have plenty of real beer on hand. John J. Citizen in Indiana, like his brothers in other states, are (Turn to Page Three)

RAIL LABOR FIGHTS WAGE CUT EFFORT Two Western Roads Seek to Slash Pay. Hi/ Scrippx-tfoicaril Xctcxpaprr Alliance WASHINGTON. March 22.—While the administration is planning its railroad program, railway labor in the west is fighting anew attempt to reduce its pay. There, according to A. F. Whitney, chairman of the Railway Labor Executives Association, the Rock Island and Illinois Central railroads have asked their employes to waive their rights to one-sixth of their monthly pay for March and April Agreeing to this cut would reduce these employe’s wages below that stipulated recently in the national wage conference between the carriers and heir workers. Whitney’s association has instructed employes of these two roads not to sign any such waivers because of the national agreement. The monthly pay rolls of these two roads Whitney estimated to be about $1,000,000 each. “We anticipate,” Whitney said, “that the railroads will desist from their suggestion.” He said a definite decision was expected after a conference in Chicago.

By this action, he showed a net loss of $48,000 for the year, and paid no income tax. He admitted that it was a sale of convenicr.ce to reduce his income tax. The charge filed against him Tuesday is based on the contention that the stock was sold to his wife; that no money changed hands in the transaction; that the loss 1 involved was not a legitimate loss on stock within the meaning of the income tax law; and that actually Mitchell had a gross income of $3,006,705 76 in 1929. and should have paid a tax of $657,152.40. Mitchell's 1929 income was made up. the government charged, of $1,206,195,02 salary; $140,105.47 interest on bank deposits and bonds; $1,338,237.97 profits from sale of stocks and bonds; $252.874 40 dividends; $4,789.22 taxable interest on (Turn to Three)

WAR FEARS OF EUROPE MOUNT Norman Davis Sails Tonight to Be U. S. Eyes and Ears in Crisis. WASHINGTON, March 22.—Norman H. Davis, ambassador at large from the United States, will sail at midnight for Europe, into a maelstrom which threatens war and financial ruin, which diplomats of all principal nations are trying to avert. Early today, Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald and Sir George Simon, foreign minister, of Great Britain, completed their tour of European capitals, arriving in Paris after a spectacular journey in an effort to establish anew peace pact for Europe. In the midst of the strenuous efforts to avert strife, Adolf Hitler injected an alarming note, discarding all pretense at democracy for Germany and winning a pledge from the reichstag that it would supuport him as supreme dictator. Into the German situation came also action by the United States. The state department, on a plea for protection from Jewish leaders Tuesday night, instructed the American embassy in Berlin and its consults in other German cities to make a complete report of alleged mistreatment of Jews by the Hitler regime. Davis will be chief spokesman for Uncle Sam at Geneva. He will do everything he can to save the dis(Turn to Page Three)

Thirsty Citizens Must Wait Days Before Measure Goes in Effect. BREWERS ARE IN LINE Day's Delay in Legalization All Comes From Senate Leader's Lapse. Ily I nih il rrr . WASHINGTON, March 22. —After more than thirteen years of exile, beer and light wines will be back as legal beverages on April 7. President Roosevelt today signed the Cullen-Harrison bill modifying the Volstead act to permit 3.2 per cent beer and wine. The first sales under the new law will be permissable at 12:01 a. m. on Friday, April 7. Mr. Roosevelt signed the bill at 1 p. m. (central standard time). It’s Robinson's Fault Delay of twenty-four hours in the moment when Volstead modification becomes effective must be attributed to the forgetfulness of Senate Majority Leader Robinson. The Speaker of the house and the Vice-President must sign bills in the presence of their respective houses. Speaker Henry T. Rainey signed the beer bill Tuesday with a Spencerian flourish and ordered the document transmitted to the senate en route to the White House. But the senate had recessed four minutes earlier on Robinson's motion. Vice-President Garner signed the bill today when the senate convened. In two weeks, on April 7, the legalized beverages will be subject to sale under proper license, so far as the federal authorities are concerned. But local regulations will determine whether post-midnight celebrations will be permitted. We’re on the List Organized labor’s national committee for modification issued a revised list of states in which it said 3.2 per cent beer can be sold on April 7. The committee listed Arizona, California, Connecticut, Colorado, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana. Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Washington, Wisconsin, Louisiana. Indiana, however, will delay the sale, it was announce dtoday. In some of these states, detailed regulations still are in the process of being worked out. All Ready to Go Dr. J. M. Doran, head of the bureau of industrial alcohol, said temporary brewery permits would be issued immediately to cereal beverage plants in the above states so they can brew and distribute a big supply of beer for sale to the public on April 7. He estimated that plants which previously had been making nearbeer already have 1,000,000 gallons of brew on hand. Dr. Doran's 600 field workers will see that beer does not exceed the 3.2 per cent limit. The bureau of internal revenue w>U see to collection of the tax of $5 a harrel, which is expected to bring more than $150,000,000 into the treasury yearly.
