IPPS HOWARD!

‘UNFAIR PRACTICE’ CHARGE IS DENIED BY IVAN MORGAN Former State G. 0. P. Head Says He Will Join NRA; Elimination of Competition Chief Objection, Canner Explains. CHILD LABOR TO BE ELIMINATED Machinery to Replace School Students and Aged Persons, Says Man Who ‘Reigns’ Over Three Communities. BY BASIL GALLAGHER Times Staff Writer AUSTIN, Tnd., Oct. 28.—While Henry Ford flayed the blue eagle fromhis Detroit stronghold another “rugged individualist” in southern Indiana announced his intention of signing up under the sheltering wings of the recovery bird, after an adamant stand against some of its provisions. Ivan Morgan, former chairman of the state Republican committee and one of the largest canners in the country, who rules his Scott county domain like a feudal baron, today denied categorically the charges filed with the national recov-

ery council. Mr. Morgan told The Times that he will sign the permanent canners’ code when it is adopted at Washington. He answered charges that he has employed child labor, paid his employes low wages and forced them to work long hours, with frankness In a tour of his large plant, humming with the activity of the tomato canning season, he walked among the shining tin cans filled with appetizing soups and vegetables, which have netted him a fortune, and explained ins position with regard to the recovery program. Rugged Individualist A tall, bulky and raw'-boned man with the characteristic fighting spirit of the first Morgans of Indiana who fought their way through the Cumberland gap and into this territory more than two hundred years ago, Mr. Morgan frankly admitted that he is a "rugged individualist.” But he hastened to explain that he is not, like Ford, opposed to the recovery plan as a whole. He objects only to the phase of it, he said, which w'ould eliminate competition in business, "depriving me of of a right to fight for whatever profits there are in the game.” “If I can put up pork and beans, for instance." Mr. Morgan explained, “with a profit of only 2'z cents a dozen cans, and my competitors insist on a profit of 10 cents for the same amount, who is benefiting the housewife in the long run?” Strength in Quantity "I can take a smaller profit and make money because I’ve perfected my business to a high point of efficiency. Ido things on a big scale. My strength lies in quantity production. "I didn't sign the blue eagle agreement before this because, while I’ve sometimes told a lie, I don't believe in signing my name to lies. I suppose the easiest way would have been to sign the PRA like so many other employers and then chiseled.” “When the government inaugurated the NR A program,” said Mr. Morgan, "it requested some specific regulations among canners. For example, the government requested a 25 per cent advance on all produce growers' contracts. We advanced our contract prices to 42 per cent.” Wages Are Raised "Th government requested an advance in wages. We immediately advanced all wages, too, and many above the government request. Our minimum wage was raised from 15 cents an hour to 25 cents an hour. "We shortened hours in compliance with the government's request and put in three daily shifts of seven hours each. Since March 1, we have increased our number of employes 67 per cent and the wages accordingly.” In answer to the charges that he was employing child labor, Mr. Morgan said: "The government requested elimination of labor under 16, which we could not do and save our green bean pack, the stringing of which has always been done by school children and peopie who were too old to do factory work. Their help was used to save the crop which was finished before the start of school, which was delayed a couple of weeks at the request of L W. Craig, superintendent of schools, and Mr. Martin. county unemployment president.” Towns I.ose $48,000 "Now I'm eliminating child labor entirely. I'm installing $40,000 worth of bean stringing machinery to take the place of the children and old folks forever. It will mean that $48,000 a year is taken from the towns of Austin. Scottsburg and Crothersville where I have canning plants. Hasn't some economist also said that eventually the machine will rum this civilization? Well.

Don't Imitate Bandits in Halloween Jests, Feeney Warns Youths State Police Chief Asks Pranksters to Confine Activities Indoors to Avoid Conflict With “Terror Mob' Outbreaks. Warning was issued today to Halloween pranksters by A1 Feeney, state safety director, to confine their activities indoors and prevent possible tragedy. Calling attention to the “shoot to kill” order issued police and the general nervous public state. Mr. Feeney issued a list of “don’ts’.” They are:

“Don’t masquerade as highwaymen and fiction bandits. “Don’t flourish weapons and toy pistols. “Don’t jump on running boards of passing automobiles. “Don't play holdup or kidnaping pranks. "Don’t make threats in jesting. “Don’t practice' stunts around residences or on public highways.” Chief Mike Morrissey said today that he would submit regulations to the safety board for handling downtown crowds Tuesday night. Special details of police will be assigned. and Chief Morrissey will ask for traffic blockades for Monument circle.

“So what?” barked the very I busy Mr. Feeney, looking up from planning retribution for bandit ! gangs. “Well, my band has an engagement in northern Indiana tonight,” Connie continued. “We travel in automobiles and carry our instruments in the cars. There j usually are several cars. “What if somebody thought a banjo was a machine gun, or a I piccolo was a pistol—.” “Connie’ shuddered. He had I been reading about sandbag blockades and shotgun brigades. “If I were you. I'd spread my cars out several miles apart, and I certainly would conceal those instruments,” advised Mr. Feeney. “Music has charms, but it's not soothing any savage breasts these days.” Times Index Berg Cartoon 4 Bridge 7 Broun 4 Churches 2 (Classified 10 Comics 11 Conservation 7 i Crossword Puzzle 7 Curious World 11 Editorial 4 Financial 9 Hickman—Theaters 6 News of the Week 2 Radio 2 Skyball 7 State News 2 Woman's Page 5

To Every Boy — To the Editor, Indianapolis Times. Dear Sir—A near-tragedy occurred at my home last evening about 10 o'clock. Having read the daily press reports of the epidemic of bank bandits, home burglaries in my own neighborhood and holdups generally, my wife and I were discussing the situation, somewhat nervously, when suddenly I heard a noise at my dining room window, as though someone was prying it open from the outside. With nerves tingling, I went to my bedroom, obtained a revolver, slipped quietly into the darkened dining room and waited. Almost at once I saw a head rise before the lower window pane and the prying or scratching sound started again. I took careful aim and quickly made up my mind to fire if the window was raised the least bit The tenseness of the situation was getting the best of me, my revolver was cocked ready to shoot. The head gradually came up, then a part of the face and nose showed, I aimed again, and—just as I started to pull the trigger, I heard a laugh, and then other voices joined in the laugh and they ran from the yard merely some big boys playing a Halloween t prank. I slumped into a chair and was absolutely helpless—speechless, for almost an hour, and I haven't yet gotten over the shock of how near I came to killing a young man. Something should be done by the press of the city. Boys have started almost two weeks before Halloween to soap windows, throw rotten tomatoes and fruit at porches and windows, and to destroy property generally. No doubt bandits and crooks will take advantage of the Halloween spirit to rob and plunder and, perhaps, kill. There is a tenseness in the air and citizens are determined to protect their homes. They will not tolerate the usual trespassing and destruction of property this year. It is a DANGEROUS situation. My experience last night so impressed my young son that he immediately decided to forego the usual outdoor activities this Halloween and will confine his fun to indoor parties with his friends. The Times will be rendering a great public service if you publish on the front page of your paper each day for a short time a warning to parents to persuade their children to forego the usual Halloween pranks and destruction of other people’s property this year. It may even save a few lives. Very sincerely, A WORRIED FATHER.

WITNESSES BRAND TWO AS CIGAR FIRM BANDITS

COPS CENTER TERROR GANG HUNT IN CITY Apartment Here Raided by Heavily Armed Force Acting on Tip. While local police persistently | were running down tips on the | whereabouts of the “terror gang,” | believed in vicinity of Indianapolis, state police today were weaving a network of armament to extend throughout the state. Several times today police squads ! were dispatched on reports that the mysterious sedan used by the gang j had been sighted in the city. An early morning search of an i apartment building at southeast corner of Washington street and Belmont avenue proved fruitless, as did all other reports. Local police have definite information that John Dillinger, alleged “master mind” of the gang, had been seen near Indianapolis. Believe Mob Separated This has led to the belief that the mob has broken up until meeting at ‘ a rendevous for t further depreda- | tions. j According to Detective Chief Fred | Simon, Dillinger spent the night at ! the home of a Danville (Ind.) woman recently, and also was seen in a Plainfield restaurant. Postive identity was established by persons who were acquainted with Dillinger during his boyhood days in j Mooresville. It. also is definite that three other gang members were seen in Martinsville recently, Chief Si- ; mon said. State authorities were pledged full co-operation of the American Legion in a “big push” against crime, which includes a “minuteman” organization and sand bag ! barricades on principal highways. Legion Takes Action V. M. Armstrong, department I commander, reported to AdjutantGeneral Elmer F. Straub and A1 Feeney, state safety director, that names of volunteers recruited from j ex-service men ranks would be j supplied to county sheriffs and state police. |! Offer of the volunteers was made in lesponse to a request from Mr. | Feeney, in a letter to Mr. Arm- ! strong today, that the legion posts stand ready to co-operate with state authorities. “Our need at present is manpower, and ex-service men with a knowledge of weapons and action under gun fire, will prove valuable,” j the letter asserted. Complete facilities and equipment j of the state highway department | were made available to police forces j by James D. Adams, highway de- | partment director. Trucks and barriers will be used for blocking highways. Building Is Surrounded The local tip on the “terror gang’ whereabouts was received at city police headquarters about 5:30 this ; morning from a resident who reported seeing the car and men. Immediately a radio broadcast was issued for police squad cars in the vicinity to communicate with headquarters, where telephone instructions were given to prevent possibility of tfye quarry intercepting radio instructions. Lieutenant Dan Cummings was placed in charge of a special emergency squad wlpch was sent to cooperate with the" squad patrols. The buildii*g, at the southeast corner of Washington street and Belmont avenue, was surrounded completely. Shotgun Discharged With the neighborhood resembling an armed camp, special squads I entered the building and made a door-to-door search of each apartment, arousing residents from sium- : ber. Only shooting occurred at police headquarters, when a shotgun in the hands of patrolman Curtis Barge accidentally was discharged while riot guns were being distributed. The charge blew a large hole in a nearby counter and narrowly missed several officers. It was found that, in violation of regulations, a shell had been left in the barrel. It was learned today that a secret raid had been made on an apartment building at lowa and East | streets yesterday morning. News- | paper men were not informed of the ! investigation, which proved fruit- | less. Several squads of police left headquarters quietly and searched the building in acting on another “tip” on the appearance of several suspects in an automobile. Builds Firing Range Installation of an amplifier at the local police switchboard, connected directly with 1 the radio broadcast dispatcher, is believed to have accomplished speedier handling of telephone reports. With the dispatcher getting telephone calls simultaneously with headquarters, it is said that precious minutes can be saved over the former plan of having calls relayed from the captain on duty. Chief Morrissey also announced that a machine gun practice range had been established on grounds of the city sanitary plant, near White river and Eagle creek, and l that officers will be trained in accurate rapid firing.

Briton Held by Nazis as Spy; Angry Warning Is Flung at Hitler, Aids

German Ambassador Told England Will Not Tolerate Trial. By United Pres* LONDON, Oct. 28. —British-Ger-man relations, already strained on the disarmament question, were j made worse today by the prospect of a Briton reported being tried by the Nazi government on an espionage charge for which the penalty may be death. Noel D. Panter, Munich corre- j spondent of the London Daily Telegraph, was arrested after he reported a storm trooper parade at Kelheim, Germany, as of a military j nature. Sir Eric Phipps, Britsh ambassador to Germany, protested strongly to the German, foreign office and demanded an explanation. Sir John Simon, British foreigr. minister, called Dr. Leopold Von Hoesch, German ambassador to j the foreign office and protested angrily against the arrest. It was reported that he spoke bluntly, and told Hoesch that Great Britain would not tolerate a trial. 1 Sir John was said to have demanded conclusive proof that suspicions against Panter and the subsequent accusation were justified, and in addition said that Panter must have full legal protection. Hoesch was obviously worried when he left the foreign office and hurried to the embassy to report to Berlin. Simon and Baron Constantin von Neurath, German foreign minister, already are on bad terms. After Germany’s withdrawal from the disarmament conference, Von Neurath accused Sir John of precipitating the crisis by misconstruing a German declaration of policy. Simon, bitterly angry, denied Neurath’s statement and laid the blame directly on him. ONE SLAIN, 7 HURT IN FARM PICKETING Farmer Shot to Death in Effort to Halt Truck. By United Press MADISON, Wis., Oct. 28—One man was slain and seven others injured as violence replaced peaceful picketing in the national farm ; strike today.

NRA Chief Preparing to Make Example of Ford

By United Prret WASHINGTON, Oct. 28—Negotiations between the Ford Motor Company and striking workers in eastern plants seems today to hold the key to a mounting controversy between Henry Ford and the Roosevelt administration. President Roosevelt gave full support to General Hugh Johnson's determination to institute proceedings against the motor manufacturer the moment he has evidence that Ford is violating the automobile code. Dearborn dispatches indicated Ford would submit operation reports when they were requested formally. Thus Ford soon will be put on record officially on this point. ; It wos the question of these reports that brought Johnson's dec-H laratjon yesterday that he would in- j

SEEK FUNDS, GET ECONOMY TALK Indiana Congressmen Rebuked by lekes in Bid for Buildings. BY WALKER STONE Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.—A group of Indiana congressmen, led by Representative Eugene V. Crowe. Bedford, walked into Interior Secretary Harold Ickes’ office today, intent on blasting loose a few million dollars of federal money for public buildings. The net result of their visit was a lecture from the secretary on how politicians ought not try to force him to waste the taxpayers’ funds. Representative Crowe, whose chief interest is in limestone quarried in large quantities in his district, complained that the public works administration had allotted only $37,000,000 for federal buildings, including postoffices, and said that treasury department architects had made preliminary studies on 233 other projects. “All of those projects have been analyzed.” said Secretary Ickes. “and allomients are being made as fast as we can find buildings which will be economically justified. “I have a committee now at work, trying to evolve a plan for constructing modest, economical federal buildings that will not be such a burden to the government. But we can not continue to erect great granite or Bedford stone structures with bronze doors.” STRAYER POST ELECTS Installation of Lee King, Commander, Set for Next Week. Lee King, who was elected commander of the Frank T. Strayer post, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Wednesday, will be installed next week.

stitute proceedings if the reports were not filed. This brought a sharp reply from Ford headquarters that the company was’obeying the code and that Johnson ‘ has assumed to talk like a dictator and the supreme court combined.” The Ford statement at Dearborn asserted it was being singled out unjustly for attack by Johnson regarding code reports because several other large motor companies also* had not submitted the required data thus far. NRA officials made clear that they would be equally severe with Ford or any other company that failed to send in the reports. There was no mistaking the fact that Johnson had his eye on Ford especially, and was ready to pounce on him the moment he felt he had a case.
