'STAGGER' JOBS TO BE AVOIDED IN PUBLIC WORK Employment on Full Time Basis Is Aim, State Chief Explains. Public works relief projects are intended to give full time employment to as many men as possinble, rather than to provide part time employment to a large number, William H. Book, state relief director, declared today in a bulletin to county administrators. The bulletin was issued in answer to suggestions that a "stagger'' plan of employment be followed to increase the number of names on the payrolls. Normalcy Is Goal "This is ,an employment enterprise and not a relief program,” the bulletin declared, in discussing the projects, ‘‘and it is designed to give lull-time employment to as many unemployed persons as possiole, making them wholly independent and capable of resuming their normal places in society.” ‘‘Admittedly, many individuals will not get immediate employment, but there is all necessarry assurance of relief to th"*m if they are in j need,” the announcement con- j eluded. Fifty-five additional projects, j none in Marion county, were ap- ! proved yesterday, designed to pro- j vide 1,792 jobs and wages of $262,856. 110,611 Men Working The total of projects now is $3,088, employing 140.644 men at \vages of $21,707,613. with an additional i expenditure of $3,669,203. Announcement of two new strict- j ly federal projects to employ 143 ■ men was made yesterday. Sur- j veys will be made of farm living I costs and results of the employ- j ment program. Approval of A. H. Wait, district! engineer of the United States Cham- ! ber of Commerce aeronautics j branch, also was given yesterday to a state airport improvement plan worked out by Major Charles E. Cox, state administrator of CWA projects for airport improvements. RE-ELECT PARTY HEAD Nationals Chose Indianapolis Resident Chairman.

‘BLACK MARIA’ SUGGESTED IN TRAFFICCASES Chief Mike Morrissey Offers Method of Lessening Accident Toll. A “tell it to the judge” campaign, in which traffic violators would be taken to police headquarters in a patrol wagon, instead of being ordered in, today was advocated by Chief Mike Morrissey, as a move to cut down the 'city's tremendous traffic toll. Members of the safety board concurred in Chief plan and agreed to take the matter up with Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan in an effort to obtain increased co-opera-tion on the part of the courts in prosecutions. The chief reported eighty-six traffic deaths in the city limits thus far this year, compared with sev-enty-two for all of last year, and 2,199 injuries, compared with only 1,511 last year. The toll in Marion

county thus far is 124, twenty-eight! ; more than last year. Altogether this year, police have ' | arrested 3.495 motorists for traffic j ; violations, including 409 for driving | while drunk.
