CONSUMERSTO TAKE PART IN REVIVAL DRIVE Public Will Be Represented on Board With Labor and Capital. JOHNSON NAMES AIDS Check Will Be Placed on Eagerness to Hike Pay and Prices. BY MAX STERN Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, June 20.—The consuming public is to have a voice in administration of the national industrial recovery act, it was learned today, as General Hugh S. Johnson set in motion the great restoration machinery by announcing the chief members of his “cabinet” and advisory boards. Fears that the consumers were to be left to the mercies of capital and labor were set more or less at rest by official announcement of a board known as “the consumers’ advisory board,” to represent the buying public. The board, not yet named, is to have equal footing with industry and i labor advisory boards and four i others yet to be created. Although the new act forbids I monopolies, some senators fear thatj labor and capital in their eagerness to raise prices and wages will forget the consumers. Senator Black (Dem., Ala.) prophesied that the net congress. will find it necessary to amend the act to prevent profiteering. Able Aids Named In announcing his personnel, General Johnson also indicated a determination on the part of the administration to effect an equal balance between labor and capital. His two advisors for labor and industry are Edward F. McGrady and Dudley Cates. Mr. McGrady is i one of the most intelligent and ag- j gressive labor leaders in the American Federation of Labor. As its legislative representative for years he has gained a reputation as a liberal. He was slated to become assistant secretary of labor under Miss Perkins. Cates is a University of California graduate, banker, and insurance man, an assocate of General Johnson’s in the Moline Plow Compiny. and regarded as one of the more enlightened industrialists of the younger school. As chief of the legal division, General Johnson has chosen Donald Richberg, counsel for the rail brotherhoods and a labor statesman of rare ability. Chief of the research and planning division is Dr. Alexander Sachs, who is neither of labor or industry, but of the finance group. He is economist and director of the Lehman Corporation of New York. Welman Heads Board Heading the labor advisory board, as named by Secretary Perkins, is Dr. Leo Wolman of Columbia. As former professor at Johns Hopkins, Michigan and Harvard, Dr. Wolman has come to be recognized as one [ of the nation's outstanding labor j economists. Other members of this board are I John P. Frey, one of the more pro- j gressive A. F. of L. leaders and head j of the metal trades department; Joseph Franklin, boilermakers’ president; President Green of the A. F. of L.; Sidney Hillman, president of the Amalgamated Clothing Work- j ers; Father Francis Haas, of the j Catholic Welfare Council, active for years as a campaigner for labor legislation in Wisconsin and Washington; Rose Schneiderrnan, secretary of the Women's Trade Union League. Two others are to be named to this impressive group. Swope to Help Members of the industrial advisory board, as named by Secretary j Roper, include several of the more i progressive industrialists. The i board includes Gerald Swope, head of General Electric and author of i the Swope plan for economic plan-j ning; Walter Teagle, chairman of j Standard Oil of New Jersey; Austin Finch, southern chair manufacturer and the Southern Manufacturers’ Association representative; Edward N. Hurley, Chicago; Louis Kirstein of William Filene’s Sons, Ins., Boston; William J. Vereen of Georgia, prominent in the cotton textile institute. TRUCK DRIVER " KILLED Trapped In Flames.

Violation of Noncollusion Affidavit Is Charged to Ex-Meyer-Kiser Official

Violation of a noncollusion affidavit given in a federal court receivership was charged today against Melville S. Cohn, former official and liquidating agent of the defunct Meyer-Kiser bank. Cohn testified to a question by William B. Miller, attorney, that he turned over a SI,OOO receiver’s fee to the bank. During the receivership of the Selig Dry Goods Company, Cohn served after appointment by Federal Judge Robert Baltzell. Didn't you sign a noncollusion affidavit that the fee paid to you would not be shared with any other party?’’ Miller asked. "I don’t remember signing any such thing." Cohn replied. Miller elicited the information that the fee had been paid into the Meyer and Kiser partnership under a prevailing arrangement that all receipts were pooled in a common fund for later distribution. "You indicated to this court that you resigned as a Selig receiver, but in reality wasn't your resignation requested by Judge Baltzell?’’ Miller asked. "Yes,’’ admitted the witness. "Then you really were kicked out as receiver?" “I guess that was it,” Cohn answered. Introduction of the federal court proceedings into the investigation caused comment frcm attorneys and spectators, inasmuch as Ernest Baltzell. nephew of the federal judge, acted as counsel for the bank officials at today's hearing, temporarily replacing Paul Y Davis. Miller made attempts throughout the morning to force Cohn to admit law violations in answer to hypothetical questions Considerable time was devoted to loans made by officers of the bank to employes and associates, as Miller interpreted the state law against such loans without authority of the board of directors and without proper paper security. Miller took the position that advances made to realty corporations

DIVORCED WIFE AIDSJELLETT Testifies in Anderson Court Battle, Combating Illness Charge. By Times Special ANDERSON, Ind., June 20. —The wife divorced by Jesse H. Mellett, former Anderson mayor, testified in Madison circuit court here today to aid him in quo warranto proceedings brought with a view to ousting Mayor Harry R. Baldwin. Mrs. Mary Mellett, who despite the divorce, stated she is living under the same roof as the former mayor, gave testimony to combat evidence offered by Baldwin, that Mellett is incurably ill.

Cohn took counsel with his attorney when Miller asked. “Well, anyway, if there had not been authority by the board of directors for loans such as this, you would be guilty of violating the law?” The witness finally gave a reply, In which he insisted that the authority had been obtained. Today's questions and replies were free from the personalities which Monday caused Cox to threaten Cohn with citation for contempt of court. Cohn shared the censure of the

THREE STATES VOTE TODAY ONJEPEAL Drys Hope to Carry Iowa; Connecticut and New Hampshire Wet. HAWKEYE FIGHT BITTER Prohibition Leaders Charge False Propaganda Drive by Foes. BY HARTZELL SPENCE United Press Staff Correspondent DES MOINES, la., June 20.—Iowa, solidly in the prohibition column for seventeen years, voted today on repeal of the eighteenth amendment. The all-lowa Emergency prohibition council, composed cf the W. C. T. U., Anti-Saloon League, and kindred organizations, appealed for victory on the ground that repealists had “flooded the state with false propaganda.” Fair skies kept farmers in thei? fields and voting was unusually light. Reports from scattered precincts over the state indicated the final total might not run higher than 450,000. Des Moines precincts during the first two hours totaled less than 1,500 votes. At Sioux City a strong showing was made in dry Momingside suburb, but elsewhere balloting was a scant 1,000 votes. Along the Mississippi river, in eastern lowa, where wets are believed strongest, voting was much lighter than predicted. R. N. Cowin, chairman of the lowa Repeal for Prosperity committee, accused drys, of forming boycotts against drug stores, grocery stores and restaurants owned by repealists. Dr. J. W. Graves, secretary of the Emergency Prohibition Council, predicted that “if lowfe, resists repeal, the prohibition amendment will not be erased from the Constitution.” “But if lowa fails the dry cause,” Dr. Graves said, “its decision will have a marked effect on states which have not voted.” New Hampshire Votes By United Press CONCORD, N. H„ June 20.—A wet victory by two to one was forecast by political observers today as New Hampshire elected delegates to a repeal convention, but it won’t do the state's drinkers any good for at least two years. The state dry law, in force since 1917, will remain in effect at least until 1935, when the next legislature meets. Drys, headed by church groups, conducted a vigorous campaign for their delegates, but since the legislature has been decidedly wet, experienced observers believe the voters are, too. Connecticut to Go Wet By United Press HARTFORD, Conn., June 20. Spurred by a last minute plea of Governor Wilbur L. Cross, Connecticut voters are electing delegates today to a prohibition convention, and even dry leaders admitted privately that the repeal slate of delegates would win. The wet goal was a solid slate of fifty delegates pledged for repeal. Governor Cross blamed prohibition for corruption, graft and crime.

court with Edward Little, attorney and investor with the bank, whose charge of fraud in the management of the institution was followed by a heated offer of physical combat from the witness. The witness arose from his chair and hurled at the attorney, at least thirty years his senior, the challenge: “I wish you would come outside the courtroom and say that I stole some of the depositors’ money.” Throughout Monday's and previous hearings, Cox had warned participants that exchanges of personalities were unbecoming, but never had issued warning of contempt action.

A few weeks later, Summerton | filed suit for divorce, alleging this ; agreement with the court had been broken. The suit is pending. Today police arrested Byers on charges of vagrancy and contributing to child neglect. He is held under high bond. Mrs. Summerton was arrested on a child neglect i charge. She told police that Byers threatened early this morning to shoot her and himself, but was prevented from carrying out the double killing by Byers’ brother, who wrested a rifle from Byers’ hands. Later, she told police, Byers dragged her into a car and said he was “going to take her out in the country and finish the business.” She leaped out when he slowed down at the intersection, she said.

Rose Pastor Stokes Dies; Famed as Labor Leader; End Comes in Germany I iifjHu * /""> >•; t ’ Rose Pastor Stokes, “The Rose / of the Ghetto.”

Born in Russia, Lived in London Slums, Emigrated to America and Married Noted Socialist Millionaire Philanthropist; Cancer Is Death Cause. By United Press FRANKFORT, Germany. June 20.—Rose Pastor Stokes 54 known throughout the world as "The Rose of the Ghetto,” and’one of the most celebrated of American labor leaders, died today after a long illness. She had been unconscious for more than twelve hours. The hospital head nurse and a physician were at her bedside.

Mrs. Stokes told her nurse just before she lost consciousness that she knew death was near. Saturday she asked the head nurse to play compositions of the lyrical Franz Schubert on the piano in her private room. Later she wrote letters to a few of her friends in the United States. She underwent treatment earlier in the year at the hospital Ha us Baden underr Professor Holfelder, who also treated her in 1931. Holfelder had her removed to the municipal hospital April 15. There she was treated in the private clinic of Professor Schmieden. She was suffering from cancer. 11l Since May Mrs. Stokes had been critically ill since the middle of May and little hope had been held for her recovery. Physicians asked American correspondents not to publish the seriousness of her condition, because she was a constant reader of American newspapers. After her death the United States consulate took charge of her papers and effects. It was not immediately determined whether burial would be in Germany or the United States. Mrs. Stokes was understood to have bequeathed the copyrights on her books to friends in the United States who paid her hospital expenses. A week ago she donated $25 to the hospital’s charity ward in recognition of the attention she had received. In Cinderella Romance Rose Pastor Stokes was born in Russia, spent her girlhood in the London slums, married a millionaire, and devoted herself to social service, the labor movement, Socialism, and, in her latter years, to Communism. She was known by various catch phrases, particularly as "Rose of the Ghetto.” Mrs. Stokes came to America as a cigar worker. A member of an underpaid class of workers, she was acutely conscious of social injustices and devoted herself assiduously to the labor movement. J. G. Phelps Stokes, millionaire Socialist-philan-thropist, while interesting himself in the labor movement, met the intense, fiery-tongued Russian girl, and in 1905 they were married—a marriage that shook society and provided dozens of Sunday supplement articles on the Cinderella romance that came true. The Stokeses were divorced in 1925. Several years later Mrs. Stokes married Isaac Romaine, a tutor and writer. ANGLE PARKING VOTED Becomes Effective Thursday at Market, Says Safety Board.

GAMBLING RAID ; PROVESFIZZLE Paramount and Shadeland Given Clean Bill by Authorities. County law enforcement officers, acting on instructions from Criminal Judge Frank P. Baker, visited alleged gambling resorts Monday night and today reported clean slates for the operators.

Milk Haulers, Fearing Attack, Win Injunction

Prospects of a Marion county milk war flared today when twenty-one milk haulers and the Polk Sanitary Milk Company obtained a temporary restraining order from Circut Judge Earl R. Cox against the Indianapolis Dairy Producers’ Council, Inc., and its manager, Carl L. Hedges. Hearing on a permanent injunction against interference with the plaintiffs’ milk routes will be held Monday in circuit court. The haulers and the Polk company contended in their plea for a temporary order that the dairy producers’ council and Hedges are attempting to coerce them. On June 15, the complaint charges, a letter on the stationery of the dairy producers group and signed by Hedges, was sent to the plaintiffs demanding they attend a meeting. At this meeting, it is charged, the haulers were "given until June 20” (today) to comply with demands under threats that milk would be removed from the plaintiffs’ trucks. The dairy group’s action, the haulers charge, are unlawful and constitute an attempt to monopolize hauling and deprive the plaintiffs

CITY TOLD TO ‘TIGHTEN BELT’ Further Slash in Cost of Operation Necessary, Says Controller. Further reductions in the operating costs of all city departments will be necessary, it was indicated today by Evans Woollen Jr., city controller, as he prepared to draw up the 1933-34 budget. Expecting to complete the budget by the last of June, Woollen asked co-operation of all department heads in reducing cost of major offices by at least $35,000, as the amount the city will obtain from the county general fund will be approximately $334,759 less than the amount obtained for the last half of last year. Additional relief may be obtained, however, as the county treasurer's office is holding $236,000 in checks drawn on Class B banks, which can not be cashed until restrictions under which the banks are operating are removed. City officials openly are voicing their disappointment at the comparatively small amount of money raised so far by special taxes created at the last session of the legislature. Only a little more than $64,000 has been turned over to the city from these special taxes and this came from its share of the beer levy. The city will not share in the gross sales and income tax revenue. Only about SIO,OOO more in beer revenue will be paid the city and its share of the gasoline tax revenue has been reduced materially.

from their rights without compensation. The haulers have been operating milk routes for some time and have built up such profitable they contend, that the routes have been bought and sold for as much as $3,500. Another development today in the county milk situation came when Lieutenant Governor Clifford M. Townsend laid his milk control program before the joint producers and distributors’ committee, with the latter withholding approval. Townsend explained that the point of difference now lies in whether to put control of milk collection from farms into the producers' hands. He recommended that this be done. Distributors will discuss this point tonight and another joint meeting is scheduled for Tuesday at 2 p. m. he said. If agreement is reached, the matter of price fixing then will be taken up. The federal government will be invoked through its licensing law to enforce contracts and Townsend may be given federal powers, it was said. He has been recognized by the federal government as Indiana's commissioner of agriculture.

HOME EDITION PRICE TWO CENTS dutside Marion County, 3 Cents

A definite building boom in East Chicago and Hammond, Ind., was given as one specific reason for reopening the big Shelby street mills. But, according to officials, the boom is not confined to any particular part of the nation. Orders have come to the Chapman Price mills from widely separated cities. Enough orders now are on hand to run the mill on a 100 per cent production basis. 200 Employes Hired Charles Richard, personnel manager of the mills, interviewed and hired 200 old employes Monday. Today he was to take on fifty more. “For the first time in three years, the mill really is open,” said Richard today. “In the three-year depression period, from May, 1930, until today, we have operated only for three weeks and then or. a very small production basis. “But now, with some very nice orders, we are starting in a few days on a 50 per cent production basis, with about 250 employes, and in a few weeks we expect to be operating at full normal time.” Richard said that he listened to all sorts of stories of hardship endured by old employes during the lean years, but the spirit of opitimism at being rehired overcame the tales of woe. “Living Wage” Paid "We are paying the employes a living wage,” Richard declared, but said the scale would not be as good as in the pre-depression era. * All the steel to be manufactured with the opening of the mills will be for building. Orders are all for sheet steel, with corrugated steel, for roofing, topping the list. In the boom days, the Chapman Price plant was one of the biggest operators in the middlewest. During the World war, a large wall -..as erected around the plant as the mill ran at capacity to fill government orders.
