5,000 INDIANA DEMOCRATS IN jOB STAMPEDE Senator Van Nuys Has Only Sixty Berths That He Can Bestow. HOLIDAY ON PATRONAGE Awarding of Posts Held Up Because of Emergency Legislation. BY WALKER STONE Timr* Srwnal Writer WASHINGTON, March 30. Five thousand job-hungry Indiana Democrats have written to Senator Frederick Van Nuys asking for places on the federal pay roll. Impatient lor the spoils of victory, Hoosirr Democrats, like their party colleagues in all other sections of the country, ran not see why they arc not ushered up to the pie counter, now that the party of Jefferson and Jackson is in control at the White House and the Capitol. Nevertheless. Senator Van Nuys at present is powerless to respond to these please for patronage. Nor will lie, at. any time in the near tuture. be able to satisfy more than one. out of one hundred applicants. Moratorium on Tatronage The now Roosevelt administration, centering its attention on emergency matters, is operating under a partial moratorium on patronage. And even when that moratorium is lifted, there will be available for immediate distribution to Indiana Democrats only approximately sixty jobs—federal positions over which Senator Van Nuys will be the supreme arbiter. When the administration lifts the patronage floodgates, the first Indiana appointment to he made will be for the positions of United States attorney for the southern and northern federal court districts, and collector of internal revenue for the state. Senator Van Nuys already has informed the White House that he desires the appointment of Val Nolan of Evansville as United States attorney for the southern district; Jim Fleming of Portland, as United States attorney for the northern district; and Will H. Smith, of Indianapolis, as collector of internal revenue. Each of the United States attorneys will have under him two assistants and one clerk. Wishes (o Be Granted If is known that President Roosevelt and Postmaster-General James A. Farley, patronage czar of the new administration, have assured Senator Van Nuys that his recommcnda- I tions will he followed. Under the collector of internal I revenue are fifty-eight deputy col- j lectorships, not protected by civil j service laws. These deputy col- j lectorships comprise the bulk of the sixty-odd jobs that will be available in the near future. There will be no vacancy in the two offices of United States marshal in Indiana before 1935, unless the Republican incumbents are forced to resign. It is believed, however, that their resignations will be requested as soon as the emergency legislation has been passed by congress. Makes His Choice Senator Van Nuys announced! several weeks ago that he would j recommend Omer Jackson of Greenfield. for the United States marshal’s post for the southern dis-1 trict. and Judge A1 W. Hosinski, of , South Bend, for marshal of the! northern district. Senator Van Nuys’ chief worry is j not how to distribute the sixty-odd i jobs. He already has made his J commitments on most of those jobs. But, what can he do for the other 4,940 “deserving Democrats" who have asked for help? That is the problem which keeps the new senator awake these nights. FILL LIBRARY POSTS Telia C. Haines Succeeds Jessie Levy, Indianapolis Lawyer. New Democratic appointees in the supreme court library were announced today. Miss Telia C. Haines. Sullivan, former member of the house, succeeds Miss Jessie Levy, Indianapolis, as librarian.

FIGHT TO KEEP TRAIN SERVICE Miners and Railway Men Battle Suspension; Road Protests Operation. Protest against the public service commission’s postponement of an order authorizing abandonment of three southern Indiana miners’ trains is on file in federal court today with the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific Railroad as plaintiff. The trains operate between Sullivan and the Peabody mine; Jasonville and Linton, and Terre Haute and Clinton. An injunction is sought against three members of the commission, Philip Lutz Jr., attorney-general, and Governor Paul V. McNutt. Abandonment was ordered by the previous commission to be effective March 1, the suit contends, but this date was extended indefinitely. Objections of District No. 11, United Mine Workers of America, and two railway employes’ unions led to the extension, according to the complaint. The railroad company alleges it has lost $49,535 by operating the trains the last two years and will lose more than $30,000 yearly if forced to operate in the future. Miners are said to own automobiles to convey them to work. Unions protested that 800 miners would be thrown out of employment if the trains were discontinued.

Filling Station Sues to Prevent Tax on Pumps

Following attack by lumber dealers on a city ordinance requiring payment of a license fee. local filling station operators Wednesday filed suit in circuit court for nullification of the city’s sl6 tax on gasoline pumps.

The suit was filed by Clyde L. McClain of the McClain Tire Company. 3862 East Washington street, naming Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan. Police Chief Mike Morrissey, William L. Elder, city controller; Edward H. Knight, corporation counsel. and Captain Otto Ray, license inspector, as defendants. The license fee was declared a "tax” in the complaint and objection was made to the city's power to levy a revenue measure. Attack also was made on the basis of violation of the fourteenth admendment, in that the fee deprived the .plaintiffs of property without due process of law. Suits totaling more than $25,000 have been filed against the city by lumber dealers to collect fees previously paid under ordinance held unconstitutional by circuit court last year. Contrary to popular tradition. Indians never intentionally scalped a living warrior, says Dr. Melvin Gilmore. anthropologist, of the University of Michigan.

Know Your Beer, You Novices Who’ve Reached 21 Since 1919

BY WILLIS THORNTON NEA Service Writer TO the 25,000.000 Americans who have come of age since beer was banished in 1919, this story is addressed especially. For some of them may not remember the days when beerdrinking to some was not a mere casual pleasure, but partook somewhat of art and somewhat of ritual. To them it might mean nothing. for instance, that legalization of beer comes exactly at the season when, in father's day, most every street corner flowered with lithographs of a lively he-goat. Even the most un-Germanic knew that “goat" and "bock” meant the same thing. And that along in mid-April or early may. the brewers drew off the spring

Fear Planes Alaskan Natives Awed When Flier Lands for First Time.

BY ART HENDERSON United Press Staff Correspondent SEATTLE, March 30.—1 t may seem strange to tell a person in the United States that there are some people who never heard or saw an airplane. However, in parts of Alaska where the mail comes once a year, natives and whites alike were astounded to see a great silver bird soar out of the clouds and circle their village and land. This story was told by Ross Cunningham, ex-executive of the former Alaska-Washington Airways. While flying prospectors over desolute wastes of snow and high mountain peaks, Pilot Ancil Eckman sighted a small village and decided to land. When he circled the first time he saw the entire population watching a ball game. He taxied on water to a small dock. Before he had time to cover the motor, the entire population was crowding around. The natives would wade toward the plane, expecting every minute to be gobbled up, or injured. One of the villagers, however, had seen a plane before. With his aid. Eckmann finally was able to explain what the big "bird” was.

Then the portrait of Gambrinus, patron of brewing, was enthroned, holding a foaming stein.

NINETY-FIVE per cent of all the beer drunk in America before prohibition was light lager of close to 3.2 alcohol content, as contrasted with the heavier ale,

EPOCHAL MOVE TO AID LABOR IS UNDER WAY Conference to Launch Drive to Frame National Work Policy. LEADERS WILL ATTEND Secretary Frances Perkins to Hear Views of All Classes. By MAX STERN, Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, March 30.—A national labor policy, both for the emergency and for reconstruction days, wil be evolved in a series of important conferences, the first ! of which is to take place here Frij day on call of Secretary of Labor | Frances Perkins. This meeting is not only the first of its kind in America, but. because ! of its broad-gauge agenda and its ! personnal, it is expected to write industrial history. Some sixty-five leaders, econo- | mists, and social workers have been S invited, with labor leaders predom- ; iating. Among the latter will be | those of different shades of faith, including the conservative AmerI ican Federation of Labor chieftain, ! William Green, and his staff of | vice-presidents, the progressive rail brotherhoods’ spokesmen, and the ultra-liberal Amalgamated Cloth- ; ing Workers’ able president, Sidney | Hillman. ! It is hoped that all these may unite upon a forward-looking proI gram that the Roosevelt adminj istration can support. Program Is Outlined The emergency measures on agenda; Unemployment relief; public works; short work hours; in- ! crease of the purchasing power of America’s wage earners; security j through unemployment insurance or j reserves; home mortgage relief for ! workers and jobless; methods of reabsorbing labor into normal jobs Permanent measures to be discussed include: The setting of industrial standards now threatened with breakdown, including industrial accident, workmen’s compensation, industrial disease and sanitation measures; methods for settling disputes; rail organization; old age pensions; child labor abatement; employment exchanges; the relations between states and federal government in achieving labor’s ends. With the emergency relief program launched in the Costigan-La Follette-Wagner bill and the Roosevelt forestation project, the greater part of Friday’s discussion probably will center on the questions of public works and other means of restoring buying power to the masses. Wants Fublic Works 1 Labor is united for a great public works pregram. The statement by President Roosevelt that he will not consider emergency relief in his plans for balancing the current budget encourages labor in the faith that he will back its ambitious public works plans as the next phase of his relief program. Such projects as grade-crossing elimination, slum abatement, school buildings, federal public works and other projects of needed work will be discussed. The short work-day and short- j j week issue is before congress in the Black thirty-hour-week bill. The j I conference, however, will discuss j j other methods of reducing work | | hours to absorb the jobless, state laws, agreements between workers I i and employes, contracts, and inter- j | state ccmpacts. Minimum Wage Urged Minimum wage laws will be urged! to increase purchasing power. The i importance of this issue to Amer- j ican recovery is shown by the 1930 census, revealing that one in every three persons normally employed is a wage-earner. Under security ,the conference probably will indorse compulsory J state unemployment insurance laws ! and possibly federal aid, as pro-; vided for in the Wagner bill. Labor is anxious that the Presi- ! dent's plan for farm mortgage re- | lief extend to the small home owner of the city as well. Question of reabsorbing workers j into industry will bring up a dis- | cussion of industrial training, new industries, and other means of taking care of the temporary and tech- 1 nologically jobless.

stout, porter, most Muenchner, Wurzburger, Kulmbacher, and similar types. Lager of the light Pilsener or Bohemian type will be what you'll see. Lager got its name because it means bed. or storehouse, and this type was bedded down gently for aging. But because heavy dark brews will be missing, there is no reason why the old-fashioned "Prosit!” may not ring out as heartily as ever it did. "Prosit!” is that Germanic toast which is really Latin, meaning “may it do you good.” and which German students popularized until it became more German than the Rhine. “Gesundheit!” still means "health,” even in 3.2. The bar seems gone for good, and the sawdust on the floor

COLUMBIA CLUB TO CHEW BEEF Annual Steak Dinner Wiil Be Held Tonight, With Watson as Speaker. A beef orgy of the verbal and meaty kind, will be held for the forty-fourth consecutive year toi night at the Columbia Club. The “beef-chawing,” annual steak 1 dinner of the club, will include, as the piece de resistance. James E. Watson, “lame duck” senator returning to private life in Indiana. With Democratic invasion of the portals of the club voted down a few weeks ago, it’ll be a contented cow, although a lean one, that can be chewed and carved by the G. O. P. membership with oratory and knife. Members and their guests will wear the “robes of state”—butchers’ aprons and caps—as symbol of the carving of the thick, juicy steaks. Harper J. Ransburg, Wallace O. Lee, and Russell C. Rottger will be guardians of the butchering outfits. John C. Ruckelshaus, president of

the club, will be head carver. Father-and-son members of the club will be seated at special tables. Two hundred members of the club for twenty-five years or longer will wear special ribbons. They will be introduced prior to the address of the former senator. Movies of Indianapolis and its growth, five boxing matches, and vaudeville entertainment will be other features of the “beef-fest.” CARRIERS OF TIMES ARE APOLLO GUESTS Clyde Beatty’s Movie of Animals Is Feature. Clyde Beatty’s first movie, “The Big Cage,” captured the praise and applause of every Indianapolis Times carrier who attended a special screening today at the Apollo as the guests of Kenneth Collins, manager. As the carriers were being thrilled by Beatty's narrow escapes from his lions and tigers, the animal trainer himself was speeding by airplane from Indianapolis to New York, where he opens with his picture at Radio City Friday. Before Beatty left for New York this morning, he said, “Tell the boys that I wish I could be with them and tell them face to face of my experiences with animals.” | The carriers marched to the , Apollo under police escort. The rain did not dampen their spirits or enthusiasm. The entire lower floor cf the theater was filled with the carriers. “The Big Cage" opens Friday for a run at the Apollo.

The Old Quartet’s Gone Think of It! A Soprano in a Barber Shop!

ONE “hollerer,” one “gin-husky,” one "Let Me Call You Sweetheart"— and a soprano. That’s the best that could be found in attempts to locate the old barber shop quartet, or to form anew quartet for the advent of 3.2 per

cent beer in Indiana on April 7. That soprano hurts! Who'd a thought it? But just try the barber shops in the city yourself some time. To think of a soprano singing ‘'Sweet Adeline” or “In the Evening by the Moonlight!” The town just hasn’t even a good duet. Barbers up Illinois, down Washington, and around the Circle sing blues about it, and about the soprano. They say you couldn’t form a bar-

ber shop quartet now without a soprano, with all the ladies getting their hair snipped. And all of them are sopranos. You couldn't find a good alto if you tried. They're like tenors—and “tenners” of the greenback kindscarce!

Did you ever see a tonsorial basso who didn't try to convince you he was a tenor? The bob-haired altos have gotten that way. But you got to give it to C. w. Grice, of 202 West Maryland street. At least he's voice-conscious and maybe unconscious, too, for he admits to being a good “hollerer” in the old style barber shop quartet. He’s One-Tune Man He's been barbering for thirtynine years, and he's never seen any one he couldn't “holler” down when they swing into that nasal “Sweet Ad-e-line . . . Sweet Adelin-eeeeee. And the "Let Me Call You Sweetheart” fellow'—it’s the only tune he could sing and still carry a big cargo, so he’s almost out of the quartet. As for the “gin-husky," his barbering days aren’t longer than his baseball mustache, nine, you know, side by each. J. H. McCown, former president of No. 247 of the barbers’ union of Indianapolis, also is much put out about the lack of talent for a good quartet. No Caruso There He says the younger generation of barbers just haven’t got Caruso-like voices and chat the old-time barber knew how to set sail on a sea of schooners while the younger ones don't. He says it will be impossible to get a good quartet together for April 7. He claims the ladies getting trimmed up in barber shops have stopped the song fests of the old days that were held around a stove w'hile the w'ater for a shave boiled on a hotplate. PENNSY TO RETIRE FOUR Veteran Railroad Men to Be Fut on Pension by Line. Having reached the age limit of 70 four veteran railroad men of the Pennsylvania system will be retired on pension.

well” with almost anything. 1 wherein it differs from wine. As the song in “The Band Wagon” had it, "Beer goes very good with beer—more beer!” But with its 90 per cent of 3'j per cent of nutritive solids, and only 3 per cent of alcohol beer literally “goes well” withal- ! most any food. Its effect is sooth- j ing. somnolent, rather than stim- ; uiative; it leads to conversation and snoozing rather than altercation and boozing. a a a HAVE your beer poured or j drawn gently down the tilted j side of the glass, not dumped un- | ceremoniously in the middle.

If the old days are any criterion. you can almost gauge the quality of the place by the height of the polish they keep on their glassware; the higher the polish, the better the place.
