M'NUTT HALTS LIBRARY SHIFTS FOR TIME BEING Tactics Not to Be Changed, However, He Says, by ‘Organized Protests.’ Shifts in the state library have been halted for the time being, it was indicated today by Governor Paul V. McNutt, who again defended changes he has made. From the staff of twenty, five Republicans were replaced by five Democrats. This resulted in a storm of protest from librarians and library associations from throughout the state and nation. It was contended that this is the first time in thirtyeight years that politics has been permitted to enter the library precinct. Under the reorganization law, the non-partisan feature of the state library statutes was wiped out. No effort was made by the library organizations to checkmate this change in the 1933 legislative session. Will Not Change Tactics McNutt sent a questionnaire to the library personnel and, upon learning that the majority were Republicans, made the replacements. He defended this on the grounds that the efficiency has not been lowered and said his tactics never will be changed by “an organized protest of the librarians.” Latest to join in the protest is Booth Tarkington, famed Hoosier author and one-time Republican member of the state legislature. From his summer home at Kennebunkport, .Me., Tarkington sent a long telegram to the Governor's office asking explanation of changes made. He said he had been informed that they were “purely political,” in a letter from the President of the Indiana State Library Association. Largely Mechanical Process ‘ I had charge of the library at Indiana university for years,” McNutt said in discussing the matter. “I arn not going to impair the efficiency of our state library at all, nor am I going to yield to protests which appear in newspapers before they reach my desk.” The Governor expressed the view that the professional side of library work is “largely a mechanical process” and that the real talent comes in selection of good books. Among those displaced for Democrats was Miss Florence Venn, head of the reference division, a Wellesley graduate with twenty years’ service on the state library staff. The Governor indicated this will be the only change in division chiefs at this time.

EAST SIDE DRUG STORE HELD UP Bandits Loot Till, Escape Just Before Police Squad Arrives. Brandishing pistols, three bandits walked into a drug store at 5001 East Tenth street Tuesday night, lined four persons behind a counter and looted the cash register of an unestimated amount, escaping just before the arrival of a squad of police. Albert Groh, 4828 East Tenth street, owner of the store, managed to save most of the day’s receipts and a large and valuable diamond ring he was wearing. Groh was in the rear of the store when the bandits entered and slipped into the basement with the money while the gunmen were forcing Mrs. Groh, Miss Louise Pickering, 406 North Delaware street, a customer; David Landis, 751 South Emerson avenue, and James Waldon, 123 South Arlington avenue, clerks, behind the counter. Two couples sitting in a parked car outside witnessed the robbery and called police who arrived a few minutes after the bandits had fled. Less than an hour later, three bandits answering the same descriptions, robbed a filling station five miles away at Thirtieth street and Capitol avenue. Carl Hindle, 553 West Thirtieth street, attendant, was robbed of sls.
