R. F. C. CHIEFS CONSIDER CITY BANK'S PLANS Proposals for Reorganization of Fletcher American Up in Capital. lly Timrt Sfirrial WASHINGTON, April 4,—Directors of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, at a special meeting scheduled for 11 today, were to consider several plans that have been worked out for reorganizing and reopening the Fletcher American hank of Indianapolis. Details of the various reorganization plans were to be presented to the board by Elmer Stout, president; Will H. Thompson, attorney, and Governor Paul V. McNutt, who have been here since last Friday canvassing the Indiana banking situation with officials of the R. F. C. and the treasury. The proposed reorganization details have been veiled in .secrecy, pending final approval by the R. F. C. board. McNutt, Roosevelt Confer But all plans are understood to include provisions for segregation of so-called “frozen assets,” to the end that the bank can be reopened on an almost 100 per cent liquid basis to permit the free acceptance and withdrawal of deposits. Solution of the Fletcher American’s problems will affect not only Indianaoplis, but also many other communities in Indiana, since 288 state banks use the Fletcher American as a depository. Governor McNutt conferred two hours late Monday afternoon with President Roosevelt. “Our talk touched on the whole general situation,” said the Governor. One of the specific problems which the Governor discussed with the President concerns the price of milk, and a method to stabilize the production of condensed milk to insure to farmers a higher price on the raw product. Seek to Roost Milk Priee The result desired is to increase the price to its pre-war level. In 1913, the price of raw milk ranged from $1.25 to near $2 per hundredweight. The present price is 85 cents per hundredweight, and j the trend still is downward. No plan of action was formulated at Monday's White House conference, but. Governor McNutt said Monday night that in event the federal government does not assume the responsibility, he will suggest that Indiana try to work out a plan in co-operation with nearby states. PLAN -BUY U. S.’ SHOW Many Indianapolis Products to Be Included in H. A. C. Display.

Vote 5 to 1 in Cases for Beer With Meals Wheeler Management Convinced That Public Wants Legal Beverage Served. Residents of Indianapolis are 5 to 1 for serving a foaming mug of beer with their meals if a vote conducted in three restaurants over a three-day period is indicative of the popular sentiment. Four thousand people voted in the three Wheeler restaurants where printed ballots were given out. They were asked:

“Are you in favor of us serving beer with meals lawfully?” and “Will you continue to patronize the restaurant if we serve beer with meals in a lawful manner?” The preponderance of votes for beer convinced the management that beer must be served. Unsolicited comment written in on the ballots was as follows: “Yes. We don't want beer —we want more beer.” “Yes. Roosevelt is my President. I am backing everything he starts.” “No. “Don’t like the smell.” “Yes. I do not indulge myself, but don't dictate to others.” “Sure we want beer.” “Please handle Budweiser.” “No. and I’m not in favor of girls smoking in public restaurants.” “Five cent beer would be fine.” Some Await Public Reaction At the Claypool and Lincoln hope was expressed that return of beer would mark the revival of some of the pre-prohibition customs such as beer and a snack after the theater, and a glass of beer and a sandwich in the afternoon. The Columbia Club will specialize in foods that go especially well with beer—cheese, pretzels, tongue sandwiches and the like. The Bamboo Inn expects a re-

PLAN BAR QUIZ OF AMBULANCE CHASINGCLAIM Police Chief Virtually Is Assured Victory in Court Tilt. Investigation of ambulance chasing tactics of some Indianapolis lawyers was scheduled to be made at the Indianapolis Bar Association meeting Wednesday night, following revelations made by Chief Mike Morrissey in circuit court Monday. Morrissey virtually was assured victory in the first step of his fight to halt ambulance chasing when Circuit Judge Earl R. Cox indicated he probably would rule against Frank K. Miller and Alfred S. Cantwell, attorneys. They sought a mandate to force Morrissey to permit them to have access to police accident reports. From the witness stand the chief branded Miller and Cantwell as “ambulance-chasing lawyers.” He also revealed results of an investigation by detectives, where he said it was found Cantwell and several other lawyers had visited persons injured in accidents, and offered their services on a split fee basis, promising to obtain substantial damages. Cox declared the matter was a moot question, inasmuch as city council, since filing of the suit, has rescinded the ordinance section which made police accident reports open to the public. The suit was based on Morrissey’s refusal to permit Cantwell to see report on an accident in which Isaiah

Ellis, Negro, 1101 North Senate avenue, was injured seriously. Morrissey testified Ellis told detectives two men visited him at city hospital, and induced him to sign a contract to represent him legally, but added he did not know the names of the men. The chief said ambulance chasing attorneys frequently came to police headquarters with clippings of newspaper accident stories, seeking information in order that they might visit injured persons and obtain contracts. He added most such attorneys employed as many as four runners to represent them, some of the runners illegally having radio sets tuned to receive police radio reports, in their cars. The only other witness was Sterling Humphrey, Negro, who said he was a porter at the New City Trust building, where Cantwell and Miller maintain offices. Humphrey testified that he had suggested to Cantwell that he visit Ellis following the accident, adding that he found Cantwell had not visited Ellis a week after the suggestion. Cox withheld his decision to permit Miller ,to file briefs, supporting his contentions. VAL NOLAN TO TAKE UP DUTIES THIS WEEK Van Nuys’ Appointee Named to District Attorney's Job by Judge. Val C.
