CITIZENS GROUP WARNS AGAINST SIMILAR NAMES Avoid Confusion. E. H. Evans Urges in Review of Board’s Record.

THE TICKET I*s) Mary D. Ridge (76) Carl J. Wilde (681 Alan W. Bovd (81i John F. White (77) Ear! Rurhanan

Voter* in the coming election who desire to support the CITIZENS SCHOOL COMMITTEE TICKET must not allow themselves to be confused by other tickets bearing similar names. Edgar H. Evans, CITIZENS COMMITTEE general chairman, warned in a statement issued today. “As an organization.'* the statement read.' the CITIZENS SCHOOL COMMITTEE is civic rather than political. It is interested solely in the election of a competent school board and has no concern with any city, state, or national campaign. “Men and women of different races, religions and party affiliations are behind it. ‘They have one interest in common—a desire to keep the Indianapolis schools at a high standard of efficiency. Their purpose is to continue the work started in 1929 wrhen members of the present school board sponsored by the CITIZENS COMMITTEE, were elected to office.” In reviewing the'conditions which led to the election of the incumbent school board five years ago. Mr. Evans said that, in 1929. the people of Indianapolis had become indignant over the favoritism, nepotism and factionalism of the old school board. They welcomed a change.

Reviews Board's Record “This change came sharply and decisively on election day," he continued. "The vote was so overwhelmingly for the five CITIZENS SCHOOL COMMITTEE candidates that one of the Indianapolis newspapers demanded that the old board resign immediately rather than wait until Jan. 1. “If the Voters today remember what the situation was five years ago. there should not be the slightest doubt as to what will happen Nov. 6. "I also call attention to the record of the board which this committee drafted in 1929. after careful investigation. Just as we have done with the present school ticket. The incumbent board, composed of five representative citizens, is finishing its filth year. The members did tot draw any salary, as that is the Indiana law. * Wht i the CITIZENS SCHOOL ticket of 1929 assumed office in 1930. it found the school city was taking $7 000.000 a year from the city taxpayers in property taxes. By 1933, the board had that amiunt down to $4 600.000. Both figures are exclusive of the funds received from the state house, which were about the same both years, as in 1933 the new state taxes designed to aid the schools had not yet produced much additional revenue. Four Buildings Built “In addition the school debt was cut from $11,000,000 to $10,000,000 and four new school houses were built. “At the same time the standards of efficiency of the schools were raised and all classes received fair treatment. "What a splendid record! “What more could have been asked of any group of citizens? Yet today, when the committee has drafted another equally fine ticket in an effort to carry on the good work, we find opposition. That is to be expected when an office spends millions a year. "Persons anxious to see other Interests in charge of our schools have filed candidates. Moreover. th°y have imitated the CITIZENS SCHOOL COMMITTEE folders and literature. They have started 'whispering’ camoaigns against the integrity of the present board, against the new ticket and against the CITIZENS COMMITTEE. “I ask voters to distinguished carefully when literature concerning the school board election is handed them. - ’

Anew method for prompt and facile issuance of 1935 Indiana license plates has been devised by Frank Finney, motor vehicle bureau commissioner. The department will mail an application such as is showm here, to each car owner registered in 1934. The data printed on the blank has been taken from the title files and, if the description fits the car for which the applicant seeks plates, it will be necessary only for the owner to sign the card and write in the name of his county and township. The correct fee also is printed on the application. The application then is to be presented to a branch office and, upon payment of the fee and 25-cent service charge, the plates will be issued. Thi applications will be mailed Dec. 6 and will include with each two applications for drivers licenses. The new licenses will be black figures upon a background of blue.

Circle Merrymaking Tops Halloween Fun in City Gay Crowd Enjoys Dance to Music of FERA Band; Small Army of Police Guards Masqueraders. Today the macabre shadows of ghosts and w'eird hobgoblins, who had leaped out of their tombs last night, all are safely tucked away. In the downtown streets last night a buxom Mae West walked arm in arm with a gallant devil. Bums in tatters and rags mingled in the gi-

gantic throng which surged around Monument circle where eighty stout policemen stood prepared to arrest any misinformed souls who thought Halloween was an occasion for license. The seventy-five-piecc FERA band played for dancers until the crowds became so thick that any attempt to dance was like elbowing through a department store during a boom period bargain sale. The cool winds 4vhich whipped up suddenly about 10 sent many faint-hearted "hants’’ scampering home. Dances and Halloween programs were held last night at the Indiana

PURSE IS SNATCHED: TWO WOMEN GRAB, OVERCOME SUSPECT

Mrs. Gladys Loughery, 2011 Koehne street, and Mrs. Anna Burk. 1919 Koehne street, were being congratulated today for their bravery last night. The two women knocked down and disarmed an alleged purse snatcher. They were mingling with Halloween merrymakers on Illinois street near Market street when a man seized Mrs. Loughery's purse and started to run. The two women knocked the man down and recovered the purse. When he drew a nickel-plated revolver, they noticed it had no cylinder so they took It from him, also. This treatment proved too much for the would-be thief and he fled only to be captured later and charged with asault and battery with intent to rob. He said his name was Gilbert Wright. 13. and that he had no home.

RICHBERG GIVEN HIGH AUTHORITY BY ROOSEVELT President Merges Councils, Names Aid as New Deal Co-Ordinator. By L'nitrd Prrat WASHINGTON, Nov. I.—Donald R. Richberg's informal position as “assistant President’’ and “unofficial cabinet member” was emphasized today by President Roosevelt's order clarifying his aid's responsibilities. By executive order the President merged the executive council with the national emergency council, naming Mr. Richberg executive director and extending indefinitely his leave of absence as chief counsel of the NRA. As director of the council, Mr. Richberg is in the post of chief co-ordinator of the New Deal agencies and routine government departments. The President's order did not change Mr. Richberg's status, since he was the chief officer of both the councils, but clarified his position as New Deal co-ordinator and one of the President’s first ranking advisers. AH Members Retained The change was determined upon, the President declared, in the interest of simplification. The function of the two councils was similar and membership virtually was identical. - He enlarged the emergency council to include Joseph P. Kennedy, securities exchange commissioner, and the governor of the federal reserve board, a post presently unfilled. All members of either executive council or national emergency council will continue as members of the merged body. Mr. Richberg was named to the co-ordinating post early in the summer when Frank Walker, executive council director at that time, obtained w r hat now appears likely to become a permanent leave of absence to attend to private business affairs. State Orders Issued The importance of the emergency council as a co-ordinating agency was seen in orders issi ed by Mr. Richberg to state directors today. He advised each director that he was expected to operate a clearing house for information concerning emergency organizations, head a committee of chief state officers of New Deal agencies and act as liaison officer between state and federal governments in promoting “harmony in the development and administration of federal and state emergency programs.” Directors were advised to prepare confidential reports to Mr. Richberg every two weeks, reviewing work of each federal agency in the state, appraising effectiveness and mirroring public opinion within the states concerning state activities and the emergency program as a whole. DOWNTOWN STREETS TO BE RACE COURSE Entries Now Being Accepted for Y. Turkey Day Run. The annual Y. M. C. A.

GREEN AND OKLAHOMA LABOR LEADER CLASH Indorse Different Candidates for Governor. By United Press TULSA, Okla., Nov. I.—New fire was added to the gubernatorial campaign today with announcement by G.

Few peasant festivals, in their native European environment, could surpass the glamour and gaiety of the party given recently by Marion Davies for the leading stars of Hollywood.

At left, Miss Davies is shown with Mary Pickford; at right, Jean Harlow, top center, the inseparable Gloria Swanson and Herbert Marshall, and lower center, Norma Shearer.

ABSTINENCE CREDITED FOR HEARTY YEARS AS MAN PASSES 90

Total abstinence from intoxicating liquors and tobacco is one certain way of living to a ripe, healthy old age, according to George W. Nave, senior member of the firm of Graves, Nave & Cos., livestock handlers. Mr. Graves passed the “four score years and ten” mark last night. “Naturally my health has been exceptionally, good,” declares Mr. Nave, whose sparkling eyes and ruddy cheeks belie his 90 years. “I have never indulged in dissipation of any kind. For relaxation, I go to my Boone county farm. When I'm not at the farm, I'm visiting around with customers at the stockyards.” It was at Mr. Nave’s farm, seven miles east of Lebanon, last night that twenty-five members of his firm, including his son, Christian C. Nave, 5401 Central avenue, and his daughter, Miss Mary L. Nave, who lives with her father at 402 North Meridian street, gathered to tender a surprise birthday party to the man who is aged in years alone. The festivities were a great success, for Mr. Nave was ignorant of the plans of his well-wishers up until the last minute. Mr. Nave was born Oct. 31, 1844, in Danville, son of a prominent attorney of his day. He is a Civil war veteran and makes a point of being at the old soldier Memorial day celebration at Danville every year. He is also a former Hendricks county treasurer.

MASQUERADER TRIPS ON SKIRT. CUTS HEAD Donning Dress Proves Downfall of City Man. John Harrison, 34, of 2332 North Harding street, felt the stitches in the gash on his forehead today and decided that trousers are better than a skirt any day. Entering into the spirit of Halloween, Mr. Harrison donned feminine attire, sallied forth along Harding street last night. He was doing very well, but the curb at Burdsal parkway proved his Waterloo. In attempting to step up to the sidewalk, Mr. Harrison’s foot became entangled in his skirt, and he fell, cutting his forehead on the concrete. City hospital officials dressed his wound, sent him home. HONOR PHONE EMPLOYE Andrew H. Evans Completes Thirty Years’ Service Term. Andrew H. Evans, 236 North Temple street, plant department clerk for the Indiana Bell Telephone Company, today became eligible for the company’s thirty-year service emblem. Mr. Evans started in the telephone industry Nov. 1, 1904, as a storekeeper for the old Central Union Telephone Company.

VOTERS DISQUALIFIED BY FAILURE TO FILE TRANSFER, IS RULING

No estimate was available today of the number of Indiana persons who will lose their vote next Tuesday because of improper registration. Fred C. Gause, Indianapolis attorney and election board Republican member, ruled yesterday that voters who have moved from one residence to another and then have reregistered instead of filing a transfer, are disqualified. W. W. Spencer, Indianapolis Democratic member of the board, concurred. Governor Paul V. McNutt was not consulted. In the case of voters who moved from one county to another election laws required a transfer and revocation of the original registration. Voters who have moved from one address to another within a voting precinct would not be disqualified under the ruling, Mr. Gause said.

MILLIONS DUE REYNOLDS HEIRS IN COMPROMISE Libby’s Son and Half Sister to Get $5,000,000 Each, Is Report. R;l r nitrd Prraa WINSTON-SALEM, N. C, Nov. 1. —The two children of the late Z. Smith Reynolds may take $5,000,000 each and thus put an end to the legal squabble over the millions of the late R. J. Reynolds, tobacco king. It was learned from reliable authorify that a compromise may be effected soon between attorneys for Christopher Smith Reynolds, infant son of Libby Holman. Broadway torch singer, and Anne Cannon Reynolds 11. and the rest of the Reynolds heirs. The petition of the Cabarrus Bank and Trust Company to set aside the $1,000,000 trust nind with which Z. Smith Reynolds cut off Anne Cannon Reynolds, his first wife, and their daughter, Anne Cannon Reynolds 11. will be up in superior court here again Monday morning. At that time little Christopher Smith Reynolds. Libby Holman's baby, through a “next friend,”*. Robert Vaughn. Winston-Salem attorney, will come into court seeking to get his bid in with the rest of the R. J. Reynolds heirs to uphold the trust fund. It is the first time Libby and her ' child have entered into the wrangle ; over the Reynolds fortune. Libby in Debt to Estate Libby, quite definitely, doesn’t stand a chance of getting any of | the $25,000,000 which was her husband's share of the R. J. Reynolds | estate. She has SIBI,OOO coming to her | from the personal estate of her hus--1 band, but hasn't received any of | that. In fact, she owes the estate $1 500 for an airplane bought on a note last year, according to the last accounting. R. J. Reynolds bequeathed his estate to his direct descendants. That cut the husbands and wives of his children out. and left in only sons and daughters and grandchildren: Under the present set-up, Anne Cannon Reynolds II is due to get $500,000 of the $1,000,000 trust fund established by Z. Smith Reynolds. Trust Dissolution Opposed And Christopher Smith Reynolds, son of Z. Smith Reynolds and Libby who married the young Reynolds heir after his divorce from Anne Cannon, daughter of a millionaire towel manufacturer, will get onehalf of the $25,000,000 estate due to his father, w r ho was mysteriously killed in the early summer of 1932 before Christopher was born. Judge P. A. McElroy will decide Monday whether Christopher may join the rest of the sons and daughters and grandchildren in filing an answer to uphold the $1,000,000 trust given Anne Cannon and Christopher's little half-sister. All the other heirs have already/ protested dissolution of the trust. •
