CENSOR BILL FACES FIGHT I BY SENATORS Sympathy for Measure to Guard Official Secrets Is Denied by Roosevelt. SPONSORED BY HULL Bill Passed by House Gives Far-Reaching Control Over Nation’s Press. BV RAY TUCKER Time* Special Writer WASHINGTON, April 4—Senate defeat or drastic revision of the j house official secrets bill appeared certam today when it was learned j that the White House disclaims sympathy or responsibility for the: most far-reaching control of the press and sources of public information ever proposed in time of peace. Despite disclaimers by state department, sponsors that it is aimed at the press, and insistence that it is designed solely to protect diplomatic secrets and avoid trouble with a pacific power, senate Democrats and Republicans denounced the bill’s provisions. Even Representative Hatton Sumners (Dem.. Tex.), sponsor of the measure as house judiciary committee chairman, concedes it must be revised radically. President Roosevelt let it become known that he did not hear of the bill until it had passed the house Jate Monday afternoon. Though it was sponsored by State Secretary Cordell Hull, and framed by the department of justice, the President is understod to hope it will die in the senate. It is said that its provisions will not be applied during his administration. Asked by State Department The impression it was a Roosevelt measure apparently grew out of representations made to the house judiciary committee by a member of the state department legal staff. In reporting the measure favorably after hasty consideration and resort to extraordinary procedure, this committee informed the house that “the executive branch of the government has requested the enactment of this legislation at the earliest practicable date, and satisfactorily has demonstrated to the committee the need for it.” The state department official is said to have warned the committee at an executive session of a possible breach in diplomatic relations, and possible war with a pacific power, if the measure were not enacted with war-time swiftness. ._ .Censorship Catch-All Front many sources it was learned that he referred to possible publication of a book by a former code expert in the state department, alleged to divulge diplomatic of this and other powers. Publication of this book was delayed when the manuscript was impounded in February by George Z. Medaiie, United States attorney at New York, it is said. Although described as primarily designed to prevent publication of this book, and similar disclosures, the bill was passed around among various departments for additions, and became a censorship catch-all. This was the official explanation given by the state department when telegrams and telephones of protest reached congress, the White House and the state department. At first, house leaders insisted it was what state department spokesmen represented it to be, namely, nothing more than a measure to protect diplomatic codes and secrets in this government's possession. Provides Heavy Penaties But more careful perusal convinced them that a correspondent or publisher of a newspaper, magazine or book could be jailed for ten years and fined SIO,OOO for recording legitimate news. Depending on the construction and administration of the bill, it could be used to jail those responsible for giving out and publishing unemployment statistics through other than official channels. Besides providing heavy penalties for government officials and private publishers, who made public secret codes and diplomatic confidences the bill sets up the same penalties for those who publish ‘any matter which was obtained while in process of transmission from one public office, executive department, or independent establishment of the 4 United States, or branch thereof.” The tests of guilt are prescribed as "willful" publication and whether the “matter" is "prejudicial to the safety or interest of the United States.” Opposed by Hoosier Senators The final section provides that "in any prosecution hereunder, proof of the commission of any of the acts described herein shall be prima facie evidence, of a purpose prejudicial to the safety or interest of the United States.” Senator Van Nuvs (Dem., Ind.), said: "While the bill may meet an emergency situation very acceptably, I want to give it serious study. It deserves careful scrutiny, for it seems to take a long step toward abridging the rights of a free press. It seems to be a step in a direction we should hesitate to take until we learn where the trail ends.” Senator Robinson ißep., Ind.), said: "I am amazed at this bill. I am opposed to any kind of gag law. and any kind of restriction on freedom of speech and press. And if it is a matter of affecting our foreign relations, I think the people have a right to know just how grave the situation is. They have a right to know what the worst may be. The bill will not pass the senate without an airing of the facts.” Puckcrless Persimmon, Goal By L nitrd Prt si BUFFALO. Mo, April 4.—R.

By T_ nitrd Press Chicago, April 4. seven-year-old Edna Indritz, daughter of a Jewish author, exhibited the extreme in patriotism during the recent drive against gold hoarders by putting all the tiny gold paper stars which she had earned at school in an envelope, and sending them to President Roosevelt. Edna had read in the newspapers of how her country was trying to bring all the gold out of hiding. She asked her father about it. The tiny gold leaf stars which she had received for her excellent work in school were the only "gold’’ she possessed. In sending them to Mr. Roosevelt she wrote a note which stated: "Dear President Roosevelt: Please take my bit ot gold as a present to the United States.” She signed it "with respect, Edna E. Indritz,” and gave her address. She received a reply today from H. A. Le Hand, private secretary to the President. It stated: "My dear Edna: The President was very much pleased to receive your nice little letter and congratulates you on getting all those gold stars. He hopes you are enjoying your school work and asks me to send you his best wishes.”

PAROLE DENIED FOR SCHROEDER Torch Killer Loses in First Attempt to Gain Liberty After Conviction. First attempt of Harold Herbert Schroeder, convicted slayer of a man on the High School road May 30, 1930, to obtain his freedom after serving his minimum sentence, failed Tuesday when a parole was denied by Indiana prison trustees.

The body was found May 30, 1930, burned beyond recognition in Schroeder’s flaming automobile, on the High School road. Schroeder’s defense was that the man, a hitch hiker, had been killed in an accident while riding in the automobile, and that fright caused him to burn the body. It was found that the man had been stabbed to death. Parole also was denied to Max Kos, who is serving one to ten years for involuntary manslaughter. Kos | was convicted following an accident ;in which two Indianapolis Street Railway employes were killed. INDORSE PLEA FOR UTILITY RATE CUTS North Side Civic League to Help in Drive.

INDIANA WETS HOLD NARROW REPEAL EDGE Majority of Ten or Less Votes Is Forecast in Convention. 120 ALREADY IN LINE Drys Must Overcome Big Start of Foes to Balk Prohibition End. BY JAMES DOSS Times Staff Writer Indiana -will vote to repeal the eighteenth amendment by the slender majority of ten or less votes, it was indicated today in a tabulation of wet strength, as both wet and dry organizations girded for the test, probably in the early part of June. Forecast of the Indiana election necessarily must be a question of “if this county” and "if that county” votes as expected, but the wets go into the campagn with one definite advantage. This advantage is having a block of 120 votes already in line. Since the total of votes is 329, the wets have to obtain only forty-five more votes to win and, consequently, can concentrate their efforts in those counties most likely to raise the repeal standard. Some Certainly Wet Counties “sure” to vote wet and their delegate strength are Alen, 15; Lake, 26; St. Joseph, 16; Vanderburgh, 11; Vigo, 10. and Marion, 42. Admittedly, there is some doubt as to Marion county, but it is believed more likely to vote wet than dry. Both William J. Stokes, Indiana secretary of the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment, and L. E. York, superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League, are noncommittal on any definite forecast of the vote. However, they are mapping their campaigns vigorously, with the dry organization depending on churches and young people’s organizations to form precinct groups to get out the dry vote. Politicians Are Shunned The wet leaders are staying away from policitians In enlisting candidates, preferring to nominate outstanding business and professional men in all parts of the state. Typical of these prospective delegates are men w’hom Stokes has appointed by congressional districts to choose wet slates. Some of these men are as follow's: Dr. R. H. Waser, East Chicago, and Hugh E. Carroll, Indiana Harbor, First district; W. G. Gude and Cecil Fowler, Lafayette, Second district; Walter Buettner. and T. A. Hines, South Bend, Third district; Arthur F. Hall and John W. Eggeman. Ft. Wayne. Fourth district; John Isenbarger, North Manchester, Fifth district; A. F. Pfau, Terre Haute, and John C. Snyder, Crawfordsville, Sixth district; F. O. Weber and Harold Van Orman, Eighth district. Indianapolis delegates to the convention probably will be enlisted by the Indiana chapter of the Women’s Organization for National Prohibition Reform, of which Mrs. Meredith Nicholson Jr. is executive secretary. Women at Work Tentative plans call for setting up of booths at vantage points downtown to obtain the necessary signatures for the wet delegate petitions. Mrs. Nicholson, Mrs. Herbert Woollen, and Mrs. Oscar Baur left Monday to be delegates to a meeting of the women's national committee at Washington. They will return later in the week to continue preparations for the Indianapolis campaign. If the wets can count Marion county in the fold, with its block of forty-two delegates, completing the solid wet lineup of the larger centers of the state, they likely are to gather the remainder of the necessary forty-five votes in fifteen counties. These counties and their delegate strength are: Cass, 3; Fayette, 2: Dearborn, 2: Floyd, 3; Delaware, 7; Du Bois, 2; Franklin, 1; Grant, 5; Jefferson. 2; Madison, 8; Martin, 1; Tippecanoe. 5; Clark, 3; Vermillion, 2, and Posey. 2. Would Assure Vitcory Victory in these counties would give the wets 168 votes, four more than necessary. Two counties in the northern part of the state may provide the pivotal strength that could ihrow the election either way. These counties are La Porte and Elkhart, with thirteen votes between them. Eoth wets and drys are “certain" of Elkhart and La Porte. Proclamation of Governor Paul V. McNutt setting a definite date for the election will be the signal for the campaign to get under way in full force. The most likely date is June 6. Rules Out Expense Money Township poor relief investigators can not be paid expense money in addition to the $4 a day wage authorized by statute, was the ruling today of Attorney-General Philip Lutz Jr., given to Wayne Coy, secretary to Governor Paul V. McNutt.

that he ever remitted any money collected to his supposed employer, the Lawrence Heat and Distribution Company of Chicago. The company, according to police. disclaimed Fowler as an employe. Fowler, who has been in Indianapolis since January, 1932, is said to have collected between $l,lOO and $1,400 that year. Since Jan. 1. this year, forty-three persons, said to have paid a total of about S2OO, have complained that Fowler failed to make any deliveries of the article he sold.

Four Britons First Men to See Tip; Rise to 35,000-Foot Altitude in Performing- Deed. By United Press PURNEA. India, April 4.—One of man's greatest aspirations—the conquest of Mt. Everest, the highest peak in the world —had been accomplished today by air. Four men in two airplanes hovered over the glamorous Himalayas, the awe-inspiring Everest, with its glaciers and crevasses, outlined beneath them. They were the first men to see it from any other angle than up. Since the beginning of time, Everest had defied all of man’s efforts to view its summit. Innumerable land expeditions failed. Two previous

attempts by plane also failed. The squadron leader, the marquis of Clydesdale, the expedition’s chief pilot, and Lieutenant-Colonel Stewart William W. Blackmer, observer, were in one plane; Flight Lieutenant D. F. Mclntyre of the Royal Air Force, and S. R. Bennett, motion picture cameraman, were in the other. The flight was sponsored by Lady Houston, widow of a London shipping magnate. The planes, equipped with huge cylinders of oxygen-thdt allowed the motors to 1 function ahd the men to breathe in the rarified atmosphere, reached a maximum altitude of 35,000 feet, approximately 6,000 feet above Everest, which rears its peak 29.141 feet. No Record Flight Planned It was not believed that the expedition would make a second flight over the peak. The expedition had agreed to the stipulation of the Maharajah of Nepal when permission for the flight was granted, that only one attempt would be made. The growing unrest of Nepalese authorities which threatened the expedition with loss of its permission for the flight, caused Monday’s unexpected but successful attempt. The Nepalese, who worship Everest as a super being, feared the flight would offend the dieties living on its crest, causing their wrath to be unloosed on the populace around the base. The two planes hopped from the Lalbalu airdrome, seven miles from here. Two hours and forty-five minutes later, the planes returned and the airmen alighted, enthusiastically announcing that they had conquered Everest. 6,000 Feet Above Summit Lord Clydesdale reported they flew 6,000 feet above the summit of Mt. Everest, lying far down and dwarfed below this successful attack by man and machine on its heretofore unsullied record. Starting in favorable weather, they kept on gales at high altitudes which threatened to toss them into the gigantic crevasses of the Himalayan peaks, to certain death, and flew over the snowcapped peak of Mt. Everest. Their success brought elation to members of the expedition based here at Purnea. and headed by Air Commodore Peregrin Forbes M. Fellowes, flying enthusiast. Lord Clydesdale, only 30, gave high credit to Fellowes for preparations here and to Colonel Blacker, who knows northern India well.

KEEP PLAYGROUNDS, IS PLEA OF LANDON Warns Against Dropping of Recreation Program. In a message to local citizens today Hugh J\4cK. Landon, banker and leader of the National Recreation Association, warned against abandonment of playground work founded over a period of years for benefit of children. "Unless a city is bankrupt it ought not to give up playgrounds for its children even in times of depression,” said Landon. During 1930-31 a 63 per cent increase in attendance at indoor recreation centers throughout the country, and a 70 per cent increase in attendance at community houses, reflected greater use of free municipal facilities, according to the association. In a foreword to Lhe report, Joseph Lee, president of the National Recreation Association, said: "Vital activities of the association must be continued if we are not to pay a much higher price in increased delinquency, crime, more street accidents and a mounting spirit of despair among our idle unemployed.

Missing Army Officer Is 111, Fear of His Wife

Mrs. Cora A. Young. 2815 Walker avenue, wife of Lieutenant-Colonel Robert T. Young for whom a federal warrant, charging embezzlement. has been issued, insisted today that her husband is suffering from a mental disorder. "Colonel Young has been acting strangely for more than two years,” she said at her home today. "He really has not been himself. I am sure that if he took the money, as charged, it only was under some queer mental quirk. "He always was a most indulgent and kindly husband and father. His record in the army is unblemished. He served with distinction in the Philippines, Cuba and in the World war. "If the amount of money involved is only a few hundred dollars, as stated in the newspaper, I wish to help him make restitution and clear up this unfortunate affair. Colonel Young handled more than $200,000 a year for the Indiana national guard, and it seems absurd to suppose he would jeopardize everything for such a paltry sum if he were in his right mind.” The warrant for Colonel Young was sworn to after a conference of Alexander Cavins. deputy district attorney; Ralph C.

"We are not letting any of our trucks take the road with a load of case beer until daylight." he said. "Maybe these hijackers haven’t learned that their day is done, and we will not take a chance on losing both the truck and the beer. "If the Indianapolis dealers want to come and get it with their own trucks, they can leave at midnight Thursday, when it is legal." State May Provide Guards A1 G. Feeney, head ot the state department of public safety, said today that, if necessary, state police and guards will be provided for shipments of beer into Indiana. He said he had no requests to supply guards for trucks but, if the necessity arose, action will be taken immediately. John W. Burke, holder of one of the two importer permits here, scoffed at the danger of hijacking, and said there will be trucks ready to get the new brew here for Friday lunch hour. Trucks will come from Cincinnati, Chicago, and Milwaukee, he said. They will total nearly 100 and the fleet will be made up of those provided by breweries, private firms, such as wholesale grocers, and common carrier trucks, according to Burke. Ten Importer Permits Granted William E. Clauer, Democratic treasurcr-elecct and city chairman, is holder of the other importer permit. Final award of such permits was announced today by Paul Fry, state excise director, for the Lake county district. It went to the Calumet Beverage Cos. of which Michael Kierman. East Chicago Democratic leader. is president. The entire ten monopoly importer permits are in the hands of Democrats, despite a prediction by Governor Paul v. McNutt that such would not be the case. May Sell Beverage Brei*permitijgranted today to Indianapolis hotels* and restaurants were as follows: Severin and Claypool hotels: Phil Delaney, 120 West Maryland street; Green Parrot. 2451 North Meridian street; Bair's, 46 West Washington street; Saratoga bar, 16 South Illinois street; Joe Foppiano, 305 East Washington street, and Fred Junemann. 2320 West Sixteenth street. Drug stores—Leo Shane, 1557 Roosevelt avenue, and Joseph H. Taylor, 2061 North Illinois street. Groceries—A. W. Pedigo, 720 East Fifty-fourth street, and City Foods, Inc., 3520 College avenue. Rose City Motorcycle Club—Newcastle. Wholesale permit was granted the City Beverage Cos., Anderson, of which Ross W. Eshelman, member of the house in the legislature this year, is president. The Beverage Sales Company of Tni rc Haute, in which Richard Werneke, Vigo county Democratic leader, has a brother, is to get a wholesale permit, having failed to get the .importer permit for the Terre Haute district. Werneke was not an original McNutt supporter. Epidemic of Questions That the beer business is proving profitable, for the state at least, is indicated from the fact that Fry already has deposited $90,000 in license fees and has $150,000 in checks ready to deposit when permits are approved. An epidemic of questions regarding the beer law has descended on Fry's office. Among others were questions regarding “curb service ’* Fry ruled that this is "out.” He also is predicting that there will be 10-cent bottled beer here before long, although the leading restaurants have asserted that the foreign beers will be 20 cents at the start, which is Friday. Herbert M. Patrick, deputy attor-ney-general in charge of beer rulings. said that total taxes on a bottle would be less than 2 cents. City taxes could be levied, but it would be unfair in view of the fact that cities share in the state tax, he said. Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan said that no city tax levy on beer la planned at this time.
