SOCIOLOGIST IS G. 0. P. HOPE IN JUDGE RACE Charles Metzger. Attorney and I. U. Professor, Is Boomed. FINE RECORD IS CITED Prominent Lecturer May Be Nominated for Juvenile Court Bench. BY DICK MILLER Time* Staff Writer Alert to checkmate Democratic strategy in anticipation of the primary race for the juvenile judgeship, Republican leaders today were calculating the chances of Charles R Metzger, attorney and assistant professor in economics and sociology at Indiana university extension. Significantly enough, mention of Professor Metzger's name comes on

the heels of reports that Mrs. Frank T. Dowd, regarded well versed In juvenile delinquency problems. may be the Democratic choice in the primary. Both are reported to have strong followings among women's clubs and social welfare organizations, as well as among the practical politicians.

Mr. Metzger

Professor Metzger, attorney for! the Associated Theater Owners of Indiana, has a long record that. qualifies him to hold the juvenile benrh. his supporters declare. Asa professor in social work, they i point out, he lectures on juvenile delinquency, probation, family problems and industrial welfare problems. He was instructor in a Butler university class in matrimonial problems, some time ago. that attracted nation-wide comment. Author of Many Articles Professor Metzger, his friends point out. has written numerous articles for magazines on problems dealing with juvenile court work, was in charge of the Indiana 1 Bureau of Social Research and con- i ducted tabulations on probation I problems and assembled annual re- ■ ports from his findings. Professor Metzger's last active as- : soeiation with politics was in 1916-17 j when he was a deputy prosecutor under Alvah J. Rucker. After the j war. he devoted himself to study of social problems and this dissociation from politics, his friends point out. leaves him free from any detrimental alliances. His memberships include the Indianapolis. Indiana and American Bar Associations. American Sociological Society. American Association of Social Workers. American F.concmic Association. American Statistical Association and American Academy of Political and Social S-ience. A World war veteran. Professor Metzger is a member of the Amer- j Iran Legion, the 40 and 8. and Mili- j tarv Order of Foreign Wars, and holds a reserve commission in field artillery. Father of Two Children Before the last primary. Professor Metzger was approached on the question of running for juvenile judge, but the proposal was dropped because he was not yet 40. Since then, he has qualified on that score, one of the requirements of a juvenile judge candidate. Married and father of two children. Professor Metzger resides at 4133 Central avenue. There are several other Republican prospects with their eyes on the juvenile bench. John Engelke. a former prosecutor in that court.* is an avowed candidate. Others include former Judge Frank J. Lahr; Vinson H- Manifold, former deputy prosecutor; James McDonald, former prosecutor candidate, and E. C. Boswell, attorney.

'The Life of Our Lord'

Times to Publish Dickens' Story

Charles Dickens’ story of Jesus Christ, “The Life of Our Lord,” held in manuscript sixty-four years since he died, is going to be published in The Indianapolis Times. The timeless tale, written by the English novelist for his children, will appear for the first time in print in fourteen instalments —14,000 words—and the first instalment will be published in The Indianapolis Times on March 5, the remainder to follow daily. Exclusive publication rights for this city were purchased from the United Feature Syndicate, which obtained the serial ownership of the manuscript in North and South America, while the other Scripps-Howard newspapers acquired similar rights in their territories. Up and down the country, in these newspapers next month, the old, old story will be told in the words of a man whose other words—consider Tiny Tim and Old Scrooge and Little Nell—have never died. Charles Dickens wrote them with no view to profit. He wanted his children to understand the ways and the significance of the Nazarene. He believed in the power and glory of the Nazarene and he wanted them to believe. So in his own fashion, when they still were little, and for their eyes alone, he lent his talent to Bethlehem and Cethsemane. When he died the manuscript fell to his sister-in-law, Georgina Ilogarth. She guarded it until her death, and then it fell to Dickens’ sixth child, Sir Henry Fielding Dickens, with her admonition that it should not be published so long as any child of Dickens lived. Just before the Christmas holidays Sir Henry, the last of the Dickens children, died. He was killed in a traffic accident. And at last the disposition of the manuscript—with the public in mind—was laid open. Sir Henry’s widow and his children, through a majority decision, assumed the right to permit its publication. That was dramatic news in the world of books. After sixty-four years anew, never-printed Dickens work. Publishers knew that people the earth over still were reading Dickens. Libraries proved that, and reprints. Now anew book by Dickens, and on a theme perennially new. No wonder the bidding for publication rights to that manuscript was spirited. No wonder it grew acrimonious. The manuscript itself was so desirable that its value was hard to fix. The value of the publication rights was incalculable. England and America and Europe focused eyes on those yellow, old pages written away back when the nineteenth century and the Dickens children were young. The London Daily Mail finally got them. It paid sls a word for the right to publish the 14,000 words. It was a great deal more than Dickens ever got for his other work, although he did command prices called good in his day. “Pickwick Papers” brought him 3,000 pounds sterling, about $15,000; “A Christmas Carol,” 460 pounds or $2,300, not counting 2,800 pounds* or $14,000 later accruing, and the American rights to “The Mystery of Edwin Drood” went for 1,000 pounds, or $5,000. When the Scripps-Howard newspapers learned that the United Feature Syndicate had the serial rights in this country, they decided that they would have the story. They decided that what Charles Dickens wrote for his children about Christ remains news—and literature. The chapters will be printed in distinctive type under a distinctive title line; cut out and assembled they will be. truly, a first edition—a collector's item—of Dickens’ last-published work. It will be a New Testament.

Senate Probers Prepare to Hear Brown ’s Evidence

Former Postmaster-General Agrees to Waive All Immunity. By United Pregg WASHINGTON. Feb. 16—The senate air mail investigation committee prepared today to summon former Postmaster-General Walter F. Brown for examination in Hoover administration air' mail policies. It had his assurances that he would waive immunity and would appear with the understanding that "anything I say may be used against me in any court in the land.” Mr Brown has deplored the recent cancellation of commercial air mail contracts. His position in the controversy was presented to the senate by Simeon D. Fess (Rep., O.). Mr. Fess obtained an agreement from Chairman Hugo L. Black of the air mail committee to hear the former postoffice executive at 10 a. m. next Monday. In a letter to Mr. Fess, read in the senate. Mr. Brown, said he would appear before the committee ”voluntarily “My testimony will be given without compulsion.” he wrote. Senator Black announced that the committee "welcomed'’ Mr. Brown's suggestion. He said he intended to seek a detailed explanation from the former official about an alleged "spoils conference” in the postoffice department in 1930 at which airline operators were said by Post-master-General James A. Farley to have divided up mail routes and obtained contracts without competitive bidding. The capital pondered the outcome of William P.

Brittin, vice-president of Northwest Airways, spent his first night in jail on a similar conviction. Mr. Brittin chose the jail sentence rather than a long legal battle to halt the senate's action. Mr. Brown's request for a hearing before the air mail committee precipitated a bitter debate on the senate floor. It ended only after majority leader Joe T. Robinson and Senator Arthur R. Robinson, (Rep., Ind.), engaged in an angry exchange. Republican Robinson contended his Democratic opponent sought to ■ gag’ his speeches. The majority leader retorted in return: “You make more Had speeches in this chamber than all of the senators combined.’’ hospTtal releases MAN SHOT BY FATHER Falmouth Farmer Shoots Son; Kills Wife and Self.

INDIANAPOLIS, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1934

FATHER WEBER NOT TO AID IN TOWS CASE City Priest Is Barred From Repeating Testimony in Trial. BISHOP INVOKES RULE State’s Hopes for Conviction in Factor Kidnaping Are Boosted. Restrained by his bishop, Father Joseph F. Weber of the Church of the Assumption, will not be a defense witness, The Times learned today, when the second trial of the Factor kidnaping case opens tomorrow in Chicago. Father Weber verified the report that acting Bishop Elmer Joseph Ritter of the Indianapolis diocese has instructed him not to appear when Roger Touhy and two of his gangsters go on trial for the second tmie in Cook county criminal court for the kidnaping of John (Jake the Barber) Factor, wealthy speculator. A rule that forbids from leaving his home diocese for such a purpose was invoked by Bishop Ritter, according to Father Weber. The west Indianapolis priest said he unwittingly had trangressed this rule when he appeared at the first Touhy trial in Chicago, which ended with a hung jury. Hanrahan Unavoidable Also a defense witness at the first Touhy trial was Michael (Mickey) Hanrahan, Indianapolis politician, who could not be reached today to learn if he will be a defense witness at the second trial. Both Father Weber and Mr. Hanrahan testified at the first trial they were called to Chicago by Lieutenant Leo Carr, who was heading the police squad conducting the search for the kidnaped Factor. This was last July, while Factor was being held captive on a ransom demand. Father Weber and Mr. Hanrahan were enlisted by Lieutenant Carr because he knew of their acquaintnace with Touhy, they testified. Denied Touhy Involved Together, according to their testimony at the first trial, they contacted Touhy about the kidnaping and were given a vehement denial that he had anything to do with the kidnaping and assured that if he were holding Factor, he would release him in their custody. Father Weber said today he was pleased that Bishop Ritter’s invocation of the diocese rule prevented him from testifying at the second trial. He regretted having appeared at the first trial, the priest said. Testimony of Father Weber and Hanrahan is said to have played an important part in the jury disagreement and mistrial, and revelation that the priest would not testify at the trial starting tomorrow was regarded as bolstering the state's case. Another important development i nthe Touhy case today, according to dispatches from Chicago, was seen in completion of the jury. Th estate has abandoned hope of obtaining a death penalty conviction, it was indicated, when state’s attorneys allowed one juror to sit after he admitted he consideied the death pealty too severe i kidapig cases. ALL CWA PAY ROLLS WILL BEMET HERE No Shortage of Funds, State Officer Says. All civil works administration pay i rolls will be met tomorrow and there will be no shortage of funds, as occured last week, it was announced today by T. A. Dillon, state CWA disbursing officer. Mr. Dillon was informed by wire from Washington that more than $2,000,000 has been transferred to the Indiana account. Marion county CWA pay roll is around $175,000 to 180.000 monthly, Mr. Dillon said. Rob Cemetery Company Pay Roll By United Press PHILADELPHIA.

FOUR FIRED AT REFORMATORY Chaplain Is Discharged for ‘Unsatisfactory Service,’ Says Miles. By United Press PENDLETON. Ind„ Feb. 16.—Four employes of the state reformatory, including the Rev. Charles Mitchell Greenfield, chaplain, have been discharged for unsatisfactory service, A. F. Miles, superintendent, announced today. The others who were dismissed were Edward Land, Elwood, shipping clerk in the foundry where prisoners went on strike last week; L. A. Goff, Pendleton, a night guard, and Joseph Sidener, Columbus, a relief officer. Land was dismissed for failing satisfactorily to carry out his duties, Miles said; Goff was dismissed for falling asleep on duty, and Sidener was let out because of insubordnation. The chaplain had been on duty ft>r several months. Miles said he was discharged for “unsatisfactory service.” He is a Democrat. • Miles said that further dismissals might follow because it is believed that other employes have contributed to unrest which led to the strike. TWO WHITESTOWN STORES ARE BURNED Arson Plot Investigated in SIO,OOO Blaze. By United Press WHITESTOWN, Ind., Feb. 16.

DOLLFUSS DRIVES FOR DICTATORSHIP; SCORNFUL OF NAZI COUP THREATS

MHMMDPAY OK OPPOSED BVMOSEVET Pleads for Extension of Pact Now in Operation; Fears Disturbing Effects. By United Press WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.—An appeal for an extension of their 10 per cent wage cut agreement was made to railroad capital and labor today by President Roosevelt. The chief executive acted to forestall a bitter disagreement in one of the nation's largest industries by drafting a communication to both parties a few hours after the employers announced that beginning July 1 of this year wages of all classes of railroad union labor would be cut 15 per cent for twelve months. In urging a truce until Jan. 1 1935, the President wrote in a letter to the conference committee of managers representing class I railroads and the Railway Labor Executives' Association: “I am confident that such an extension would be of advantage to those directly concerned, and also to the entire country.” It was indicated that he had in mind nearly a million men in his appeal. Sure Goal Will Be Reached Mr. Roosevelt pointed out that “the emergency still exists, and the country has not yet attained conditions of stability.” He added, however, that “marked progress toward national recovery has been made since last June, and I am sure the goal will be reached.” The President’s letter was dated Feb. 14 and pointed out that on Feb. 15 there expired the agreement in accordance with provisions of the railway labor act by which either party could serve notice of desire to change the basic rates of pay. “The traffic of the railroads is improving,” he reminded both sides, “but their financial condition is still impaired and their credit has not been restored so far as private capital is concerned. Under present conditions the prosecution of a bitter wage controversy between the railroads and their employes over wages would have a most disturbing influence, and I am convinced that conditions are not yet sufficiently stable to permit of a wise determination of what the wages should be for the future. Pleads for Extension “In the circumstances I venture to express the hope that the railroads and their employes may be able to agree upon an extension of the present agreement for another six months.” The present agreement referred to by Mr. Roosevelt expires June 30, 1934, under the terms of a pact entered into June 21, 1933, and continued from Oct. 31 of the same year. The President recalled that “it was stated that this agreement had been reached because both the railroads and the employes wished to do nothing which would in any way embarrass or threaten the policy of the administration.” Fears Disturbing Effect They realized, he continued, that the government had embarked on a wholly new policy designed to promote business and industrial activity and to further the general welfare; that they appreciated that until the results of this policy could be more clearly determined it would be difficult to deal wisely with the wage controversy. The President pointed out, furthermore, that the active prosecution of such a controversy at this time might have a most disturbing and unsettling effect. “Neither side relinquished,” he said, “in any way its views as to what the wages should be, but they agreed to a postponement of the controversy out of deference to what they believed to be the desire and policy of the administration and in the general public interest.”

erty was appraised at $71,154 gross value and $63,627 net value. Holdings included $50,131 in stocks and bonds and $12,814 in cash and insurance, according to the reports from New' York. Bequests to charity included $1,063 each to the Authors League Fund, the Actors Fund of America and the Motion Picture Relief Funds of Hollywood. A bequest of $2,699 was left to the Association for Improving Conditions of the Poor in New York; SI,OOO to the Actors Equity Association and SSOO to the colored Y. W. C. A. of New York.

Revolution Crushed, Chancellor’s Strong Man, Prince Starhemberg, Scoffs at Idea National Socialists Will Strike. CALLS HITLERITES ‘NOISY STUDENTS’ Full Fascist Government, Designed on Italian Plan, Is Goal of Leaders; Vienna Ventures Out, Fearfully. BY ROBERT H. BEST United Press Staff Correspondent VIENNA, Feb. 16.—8100d bathed and revolution-torn Austria headed again toward Fascist statehood today under the absolute dictatorship of Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss and Prince Ernest von Starhemberg. The first of two epochal political fights had been won with the crushing of the Socialists after four days of fighting. ; The second impended. Austrian Nazis, unreconciled, hoping to seize power, waited to strike. Theo Habicht, German leader of Austrian Nazis, refuged across the frontier, enraged the government by making a wireless speech last night appealing to the Austrian army to desert and aid the Nazis to seize power. The government considered protesting formally to the German government against what was called “an unprecedented attempt to incite the army of a foreign country to revolt.”

For the moment Dollfuss and Starhemberg, a victorious army and home guard behind them, displayed sufficient con- ' fidence— whatever their ini ward apprehension—to show mercy to the Socialists and to dismiss the Nazis with a phrase of contempt. “Noisy students,’’ Starhemberg called the Nazis. Starhemberg was the real force, so far as man power went. The price to Dollfuss of his support and that of his Heimwehr was an Italian Fascist state without compromise. In making that plain in a speech last night Starhemberg denounced all political parties, including Dollfuss’s own Christian Socialists as corrupt and put on them, because they played politics, responsibility for the revolution and its bloodshed. Asks “Unchecked” Rule In a statement today, supplementing his speech, Starhemberg declared for an “unchecked” dictatorship, pending establishment of a Fascist constitution. “There is no possibility of a Nazi regime in Austria,” he said. "Don t be misled by the noisy activities of a handful of university students.” Then he showed just how far he and Adolf Hitler, German Nazi leader, are separated—and, at the end, hinted at eventual compromise with Nazis under mutually respectful economic co-operation. “I agree with every honest Austrian German at heart,” he said. “But being German is different from being a Nazi. There is a brutality about National Socialism iNaziismj that is repellant to Austrians, Anschluss (Austrian-German union, w'hich the Austrian Nazis wanti can not be considered seriously for the moment. It would precipitate war. Urges Friendly Agreement “We are most willing to effect a friendly agreement. Sooner or later the two countries will come to an economic understanding, ft may be possible we shall effect a com- | promise here.” To Vienna the problems of the moment were sufficient. Street cars moved cautiously into the suburbs from midtown today for the first time since Monday morning, acting as feelers to determine whether any Socialist snipers were left in the city. Soldiers and workmen began rei moving barbed wire entanglements | that had protected the inner city. > It was planned to remove the 8 p. m. curfew'. Schools will resume tomorrow. Mourn 1,000 Odd Dead Workers and their families, wives and mothers of soldiers and policemen and Heimwehr troops, mourned I their 1,000 odd dead, including many | women and children of Socialist families. What Vienna hoped was the final flareup of the revolution came as the bells tolled midnight. A solitary Socialist diehard crawled up from the great center sewer which empties into the Danbue canal, abutting the city's very heart, in the Stadtpark area. He fired a haphazard shot. A military patrol answered him. Patrols all through the area began firing. Ambulances and truckloads of Heimwehr troopers raced to the scene. But it was all over. The Socialist had disappeared into his sewer. Two thousand Socialists captured in the fighting of the four-day revolt were in jail here. It was believed the government intended to execute no more. Tw r o Vienna Socialist leaders were hanged during the fighting. The government’s indicated move was to consolidate its power, for the first time, throughout the provinces. Socialism in Austria is widespread. > In some towns every maiyimost is

a Socialist. Vienna’s municipal government has been Socialist for years. Burgomasters of many important cities were commanding officers in the revolution. During the fighting scores of governments in small towns were overthrown. The next move is expected to be replacement of all Socialist administrations, and some others, with men directly under Dollfuss. Then, the drive toward a Fascist state-guild government, the Doll-fuss-Starhemberg Christian Staendisch state. It will mean abolition of parliament and rule under anew constitution by representatives of different categories of citizens, professions. industries, with a strong dictatorial government. Made Ideal Team Dollfuss, the tiny, “vest pocket chancellor,” of peasant stock, and the tall, handsome Starhemberg, whose noble ancestry is traced back nearly 800 years, represent a contrast that makes them an ideal working team. Dollfuss, courageous, eloquent, tenacious, diplomatic, has become stronger during twenty-one month3 as chancellor. Starhemberg, blunt, a leader of men who, like himself, do not like politics or politicians, has in his Heimwehr storm troopers the strongest organized body ill Austria. It is obvious that Starhemberg is the force driving directly at a Fascist state. In most of his speeches he is frank in his statement that he and the heimwehr, or heme guard, are behind Dollfuss just so long as he is for Fascism. Dollfuss is 4 feet 11 inches in height, 41. brown haired, gray eyed, mustached. He astonished his humble family and friends by emerging from the World war in the high caste Austrian army a first lieutenant of Alpine chasseur machine gunners and a hero. Dollfuss Given Credit To Dollfuss goes most of the credit for yesterday’s collapse of the Socialist revolution. His impassioned wireless appeals, dinned into the ears of Viennese again and again, to cease shedding Austrian blood in a fight which the state must win, caused thousands of Socialists to surrender. Starhemberg was in at the birth of the Nazi movement. The thirty-four-year-old head of the great house of starhemberg was just old enough to get into the army at the end of the war. Adolf Hitler, like Starhemberg, is Austrian by birth. His and Starhemberg’s mutual enmity is tire bitter enmity of old friends. For Starhemberg and Hitler were together in the famous Munich “beer cellar” putsch of 1923, which caused world laughter. Bitter Enemy of Hitler Hitler went to a fortress. Starhemberg escaped over the frontier. Back home, eager and patriotic, his mind still in the formative stage, he came under Austrian Nationalist influence. He emerged as a Fascist, and a bitter enemy—like the Nazis—of Marxism. He began forming his Heimwehr, using war veterans’ associations as a nucleus. In 1927 he ami a few others did yeoman service In the Socialist revolutionary riots. Three years later they emerged with a full Fascist program. There are two other men high In the Dollluss-Starhemberg union who will be heard from. They are Major Emil Fey, vice-chancellor and minister of public security and Prince Schoenberg-Hartenstem, undersecretary of state. They are firm Fascists, but they are monarchists, too, and tney are working for eventual restoration of a Hapsburg on the throne. Canadian Shovel Firm Robbed By United Pregg HAMILTON.
