'JOBS' BATTLE IN DEMOCRAT RANKS LOOMS County Organization Chief Move to Head Off Insurgents. BY DICK MILLER flier* Atari * filer Antlctpsttnj si move by insurgent*” to gain control of the Marion county Democratic organization in present county naie s.rc a themselves for battle with the firm intention of employing the same weapons, Jobs. This was learned today by The Indianapolis Times, which was informed that those now In power feel they must approve every job dished out in the city and cornty Ore terms in January or as an alternative. lo.< the fight to retain their power. Every city department head and application blanks to be filled out pointment and by new applicants The reason for the speedy mobilizauon of regular organizawon lorccs lie In the appointments announced tutor-elect. Boettcher Prepares Blanks Political observers profess to see In these appointments the hand of Criminal Judge Frank P. Baker, County Auditor Charles A. Grossart and County Clerk Glenn B Ralston. Joel Bakr. the judges henchman and a probation investigator, also is prominent in the councils of this group. The application blanks prepared bv Walter Brottchrr, ritv works board president and Democratic county cnairman, ask that applicants state their first and second preference of jobs, their qualificaence; their activities during the past and present campaigns. In addition there Is space fni indorsements and recommendations of precinct and ward officials. At the bottom is a warning that the application Is not to be signed by any elective official. In the right hand corner, in a squared space, are .several "key letter” combinations, the meaning of which has not been learned Tiiese are GA. BA. WE. EN. CW. These, presumably, deal with the candiObservers point to the fact that the organization finds itself m the peculiar position of not being able to dictate who shall fill positions in criminal court, the auditor’s office and the clerks office since it is in these three already filled offices that the bulk of the insurgent power is found. They also point out that personal friends of Judge Baker and the efforts of Joel Baker supplied the money and the polling place workers who did much to help the judge to lead the ticket in the recent election. Ray Favors Supporters Furthermore, the observers point out that Circuit Judge Earl Cox has lour more years to serve with no new appointments to be made in his court or moral support likely to come from him in any matters of party organization control. In some quarters, he is looked upon as an insurgent group supporter. In addition to this, the county organization supported Will Brown against Otto Ray for sheriff in the spring primary, causing Mr. Ray to buiid up his own personal organization of some 600 workers, which he carried through with him in the fall election. Naturally. Ray feels .uty bound to reward these men with appointments. It is further pointed out that County Commissioners Dow E. Vorhies. Ernest Marker and John Mann are showing a disposition these days to favor the Baker-Grossart-Ral-1 ston faction, and anything they do m the wav of job distribution until the end of the year probably will be done for that group. Most of the present judges are expected to retain all of their present court attaches, some of whom, while loyal to their judges, are not looked upon by organization leaders as exactly loyal to the organization Goett Appointment Victory The appointment of Henry O. Goett as grand jury deputy under Prosecutor Spencer Is looked upon as a distinct victory for the Bakers, the judge and Joel. Furthermore, there are several employes m the city hall who are known to have supported, and worked under orders from, the insurgents rather than county organOrgamzanon leaders see the success of their cause directly m their ability to control the major portion of the city appointments as well as those to be made by the county commissioners, the as>essors wild, if public works programs continue, those made by the county surveyor. Permitted to make these appointmfnts, thfy likewise udnt to be sure that the appointees are beyond question In organization loyalty. Thus, the leaders say. they are going to start from scratch with every present Job holder to be required to fill out anew application and be reappointed WOMEN’S BIBLE CLASS WILL HOLD BANQUET Musical Program to Feature Event at Memorial Presbyterian.

HOUSING ACT TO AID JOBLESS, SAYS HOKE Bilions to Go Into Circulation, Exchange Club Told. The unemployment situation in the United States will be bettered materially through the operation of the federal housing act. Fred Hoke, Indiana FHA director, told the Exchange Club yesterday at its luncheon in the Washington. He predicted that billions of dollars would be put into circulation, pointing out that, with 13,000.000 American homes in need of some sort of repair work, a total of $2.600.000.000 would be spent if repairs on them cast only an average of S2OO. A normal ten-fold turnover of that money in one year would mean $26 000.000.000 had been put into circulation, he said. 51.090.000 GIFT MADE TO AMHERST COLLEGE Largest Offering Ever Made School Announced By Council.
