MINTON FOR BONUS IF FINANCES PERMIT Candidate Explains Stand in Knox Address. Bu Timm Sli'rtal KNOX. Ind . Sept. 25.—Desire to ?ee the soldiers’ bonus paid before its due date. 1945, providing the nation is in a financial condition to stand the dram on the treasury, was expressed by Sherman Minton, Democratic senatorial nominee. In an address here Mr. Minton deplored “pension chiselers.” He urged compensation for “every just and worthy Indiana veterans’ case. "I hope to see the day when the Spanish-American war veteran assumes the same status in the rules of those drawing pensions from our government as the Civil war veterans enjoyed,” Mr. Minton declared. Mr. Minton was quoted erroneously in several news dispatches regarding payment of the soldiers’ bonus. It was inferred in these dispatches that he desired payment, complete or partial, without regard tor the nation s financial condition.

FIRE DAMAGES BUTLER WATER TOWER DURING CLASH OF CLASSMEN

The battered water tower on the Butler university campus was still a spearhead of freshman-sopho-more battle activities today after weathering a fire last night which scorched the boards around the base. The fire department was called out last night to quench the blaze and reported milling, shouting bands of students near the tower. At the university it was said the fire had no connection with the freshman-sophomore scrap activities. Class supremacy is decided on scrap day by the class which daubs its numerals highest on the water tower. The fire department, believing the blaze incendiary, will make a further investigation. Home Loan Service Explained Service of the Home Owners’ Loan Corporation in Indiana was explained to members of the Monday Luncheon Club, an organization of outstanding Negro professional and business men, yesterday in the Walker building by Jack Strickland. Indianapolis HOLC manager.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

INDIANA LIQUOR LAW ATTACKED IN COURT SUIT Three Federal Judges to Rule Soon on Statute’s Constitutionality. i The constitutionality of the Indiana liquor control law will be settled some time in the immediate future when a three-judge federal court hands down a decision on the plea of three large out-of-statc s’ate breweries to enjoin state officials from enforcing the law.

The much debated question of the law's constitutionality received a thorough airing yesterday before the court, members of which are Judge Louis Fitzhenry, circuit court of appeals. Chicago; Judge Robert C. Baltzell, Indianapolis, and Judge Thomas W. Slick, South Bend. The breweries, Anheuser-Busch, Inc., St. Louis, Mo., and PremierPabst Sales Company and Joseph Schlitz Company, both of Milwaukee, Wis., were represented by M. J. Donnelly, Cedar Rapids, la., and Samuel D. Miller, Indianapolis. Counsel for'the state was headed by Herbert Patrick, deputy attor-ney-general, and Thomas OMara, Terre Haute, special counsel at-

taehej to the attorney-general s staff ! They argued that the law is con- j stitutional: that, constitutor al or ! not. the plaintiffs were directing j their case against the wrong people, ! since the state officers were not re- i sponsible for the acts of the ten In- j diana beer importers, who are merely private citizens; and that, j if the injunction were to be grant- i ed. it would work a far greater j hardship on the state than the law-, ever could have worked on the complaining breweries. Attorney-General Philip Lutz Jr. in a printed statement, read to the court, asserted that the revenue derived from the present Indiana liquor law served materially to help support the state school system and that the abrupt elimination of such a source of funds would impair Indiana’s educational system. Mr. Miller and Mr. Donnelly ; argued that the law’ is unconstitu- ! tional and in direct violation of the “commerce clause’’ in the four- ! teenth amendment in that it re-

stricts interstate commerce. They charged, too. that it is discriminatory and tends to set up a monopoly. In support of this argument, they entered into evidence contracts made by the three plaintiffs with each of the ten state beer importers and charged that a uniform fee of SSOO was charged for the making of each contract and that, in other w’ays, the contracts were essentially identical. This, they maintained, worked a great hardship on their clients, since they had no choice but to deal with these importers if they hoped to sell beer in Indiana. Mr. Donnelly further pointed out that any importer, if he so desired, could pre-

vent completely the sale of any out-of-state beer in his district. The plaintiffs also maintained that the powers which the law vests in Paul P. Fry, state excise direc-
