NO PART OF THE NATION ESCAPES Grip of Arctic Chill Born in Rockies Loosens in Northwest and Higher Temperatures Are Forecast. By United press CHICAGO, Dec. B.—Weather Bureau forecasters predicted a slight but general break today in a cold wave affecting all the United States and Canada.

Chicago’s thermometers touched new lows for the season early today, at 11 above zero, but were expected to climb gradually through the day. Galena. 111., where horticulturists advertised blooming roses a week ago, saw the mercury drop to 14 below. Rain was general through the Gulf States and the South as the storm broke and precipitation, either as snow or rain, was predicted ( for most of the region east of Colorado and Montana. Snow Covers City A gentle snow today covered Indianapolis for the first time this year. Not much good for coasting, but with full artistic value, the snow was a part of a general fall that also visited nine other Mid-Western and Far Western states. Indiana, in general, experienced local snows and they will continue through tomorrow, the Weather Bureau predicted. There will be no decided change in temperature in the next 24 hours, and the snow will not reach any considerable depth. A north wind is not expected to increase appreciably in velocity. The lowest temperature in the 24 hours was 20. at 6. 7 and 8 a. m. At 9, the mercury had risen one degree. N. Y. in Grip of Cold By United Press ALBANY. N. Y.. Dec.

Make Christmas Mean Something—-Clothe a Child

TWO to go and Clothe-A-Child of The Indianapolis Times will reach the FIFTY mark. And there are TWINS on the list to make that FIFTY and then on up toward the ONE HUNDRED mark. Who likes twins? Who wants to clothe these twins? Who would like to take them and dress them as near to the proverbial peas in the pod as outward garments can make them? They're not twins now in clothing. Their feet don't mate. One has shoes that a dog wouldn't chew upon. The other has a coat that resembles the scarecrow rags that your Aunt Molly used to hang in the field to keep birds from thieving Unde Mikes grain.

URGES STATE MERIT SYSTEM

Called Necessity for Good Government at Session of Women Voters. The application of the merit system in the state governments was called a necessity last night by Dr. Leonard D. White, a member of the United States Civil Service Commission, who declared that unless the states devloped a stronger Civil Service they would lose out in the race for power now going on between them and the Federal Government. Dr. White, a former University of Chicago professor, w T as principal speaker at the annual dinner of the Indiana League of Women Voters at the Indianapolis Athletic Club. The Indianapolis Times long has urged application of Civil Service standards and protection, particularly to the State Police and the penal service. Mrs. Thomas D. Sheerin, 4330 Central-av, temporary chairman of the meeting introduced Mrs. Richard Edwards, Peru, Ind., chairman of the League’s merit system committee. Mrs. Edwards said that the adoption of the merit system would bring about a more dignified public service, attract better men to public office and increase the confidence of the American people in their government. One good result of the depression, she said, has been the fact that a higher type of young man has been attracted ir.to the Government service. “The great need in Indiana is for a public personnel management with appointment under the merit system,” Mrs. Edwards declared. “With this service in operation attractive, honorable and remunerative careers would be open for young men of the state.” BUDGET COMMISSION WILL HOLD MEETING 1935-37 Biennial Bill to Be Framed at State Session.

WOMEN FLIERS ON WAY TO ENDURANCE MARK

U. S. Wealthy Are Warned to ‘Change Ideas’ By Unit< and Press NEW YORK. Dec. B.—A challenge to take the lead in forming anew social policy for America was held out today .to the nation's 36.000 wealthiest families. Henry A. Wallace, Secretary of Agriculture, warned that unless those families enjoying annual incomes’of more than $75,000 avoided the errors of the Bourbons of France, the social pyramid would be inverted and “woe and anguish” would ensue. “The vast majority,” Mr. Wallace said, “of the wealthy 36,000 families asts as an instinctive, almost unanimous unit in opposing class proposals brought to the front by Agriculture and Labor. They are excellent critics of proposals brought forward by other classes, but when it corr/'S to getting together on constructive proposals for national policy they srem to be able to agree cn nothing more profound than such catch phrases as ‘balance the budget’ and return to the gold standard’.” JUDGE RALPH SMITH WILL ADDRESS CLUB Young Men’s Democratic Club to Hear Appellate Jurist. Ralph Smith, Appellate Court judge, will speak before members of the Young Men’s Democratic Club of Marion County in a meeting at 8 Monday at the Claypool.

STENCH ATTACK IS MADE ON TREATER * — Malodorous Liquid Squirted Into Auditorium. Someone last night squirted a malodorous liquid between the cracks of the front door of the Fountain Square Theater, 1105 Shel-by-st, it was reported to police today. The liquid reached the auditorium of the theater, and fumes there were stifling, police reported. The vandals waited until the theater had closed before visiting it. Police believed the incident might be a signal of new labor troubles in neighborhood theaters. They said it has been a custom of aggreived employes, or their representatives, to use some such method of discouraging patronage of theaters they believe unfair to them. The theater manager told The Times today his theater was completely unionized and that the attackers may have been aiming at a non-union organization in the same building.

CALL TRUCE IN BIDDINGBATTLE State Library Commission Decides to Let Code Heads Rule. The battle that has raged about the ears of the State Library Building Commission in connection with bidding on 1200 transfer cases for the new State Library had reached a truce today. Herbert Kenney, president of the commission, announced that bidders would have to take their troubles to the proper code authorities for final settlement, and that the Business Furniture Cos. voucher for $3303 had been approved. Competitors had protested the award on the grounds that the price was a code violation. Telegrams from code authorities in Cleveland to Mr. Kenney had charged an “apparent” violation and an “admitted” violation. But officials of the Business Furniture Cos. and the Berger Manufacturing Cos., makers of the cases, were vehement in their denials of a code viola tion, and the commission finally decided to go ahead with the original decision and let code authorities settle the issue.

RATE SLASHES FOR 3 CITIES APPROVED Commission Accepts Offer of South Bend Firm. The Public Service Commission turned Santa Claus today as rate reductions were ordered for South Bend, Mishawaka and Evansville.

Rates charged by the same company in Mishawaka were reduced $6,000 yearly. Last May the commisison reduced the company’s rates $120,000, but the company obtained a federal injunction to prohibit the new schedule. Reduction in consumption, according to the commisison, has reduced revenlfcs of the company $140,000 in one year. The commission also approved a voluntary reduction offered by the Southern Indiana Gas and Electric Company to power users in the Evansville territory. The new rates will reduce the electric bill in Evansville about $65,000 a year. Machado Arrives in France By United Press LE HAVRE. France, Dec. B.

IEBISUTtIRS ASSEHHf TO TOOTS McNutt Steps in, Halts Rebellion Against Senator Weiss. Democratic members of the coming General As: mbly today met in caucus at the Claypool to organize under administration leadership. Representative Edward Stein, Bloomington, was to be chosen Speaker of the House; Senator Jacob Weiss, Indianapolis, was to be named President pro tem. of the Senate. Before the voting, the legislators were to hear an address by Gov. Paul V. McNutt, whose influence was necessary last night to halt an incipient rebellion against the program to name Senator Weiss. Senators Alanson L. Albright, Cayuga, and Willard M. Anderson, Martinsville, were leaders of the rebellion, which ended precipitately after a conference betwen Pleas Greenlee, the Governor’s patronage secretary, and various members of the Senate. Once peace had been restored, the organization appeared in this form: House majority leader, Rep. Frank G. Thompson, Bluff ton; majority caucus chairman in the House, Rep. John Napier Dyer, Vincennes; Senator Harry F. Schricker, Knox, majority caucus leader in the Senate. Selection of the chief clerk of the House and secretary of the Senate and of other minor House and Senate officials will be postponed until just before the General Assembly convenes Jan. 10. The Governor’s address this morning was not expected to detail his legislative program, some of the most important parts of which still are in a formative stage. U. S.

Whole Continent Shudders With Fright as Specter of Battle Looms Again; Yugoslavia Keeps Up Mass Expulsion.

BY WALLACE CARROLL iCopyright. 1934. bv United Press) United Press Staff Correspondent GENEVA, Dec. B.—Europe’s powers, aware of the danger of an explosion in the Balkans, tried this afternoon to throw barriers of pacific resolutions between the disputing delegates of Yugoslavia and Hungary. Pierre Laval, French foreign minister, and Anthony Eden, British chief delegate, took charge of pacific efforts at the League of Nations extraordinary council meeting which is considering the situation. Captain Eden hoped to halt the exchange of bitter charges between Bogoljub Jevtic, of Yugoslavia, and Tibor Eckhardt, of Hungary, by a resolution calling for a general condemnation of political terrorism, then by referring the

HISTORY PARLEY TO ENDTONIGHT Societies Help Dedicate New Library; Sectional Sessions Held. An address tonight by President William C. Dennis, Earlham ColI lege, was to bring the sixteenth an- ! nual Indiana History Conference to j a close after a two-day program. The concluding event of the program, which included participation in the dedicatory ceremonies of the state’s new million-dollar Library and Historical Building, an even century after the first Statehouse in Indianapolis was built, was to be the annual dinner of the Society of Indiana Pioneers in the Riley Room at the Claypool at which representatives of the Indiana Historical Society and State Historical Bureau will be present.

feel certain that Fred C. Kennedy, assistant fire chief, is being considered strongly as the successor to Fire Chief Harry E. Voshell, who | may be named a batallion chips. Floyd J. Mattice, chief deputy ; prosecutor under Herbert E. Wilson, now superior judge-elect, probably will receive the post of city attorney. Political observers had been surprised in the past that there had been no mention of any appointment for Mr. Mattice. generally considered the best trial lawyer on Mr. Wilson’s staff. For the last three days, Mr. Mattice has been consulting with City Attorney James E. Deery, who probably will become City Corporation Counsel, in an important case against the city. This was the first indication of the probability of his appointment. Michael B. Reddington, Young Men’s Democratic Club president, active in the last campaign, probably will be Assistant City Attorney. Reports indicate the Works Board will be composed of Hubert S. Riley, Democrat, present Safety Board member; Louis G. Brandt, present Works Board member, and possibly Robert Eby, Republican, attorney. Walter C. Boetcher, preesnt Works Board president and Democratic county chairman, has been mentioned prominently for the post of City Controller There is much talk of other possible appointments, but the only other job with an apparently "surething” candidate is that of secretary to the Mayor. Here James B. Tynan, Home Owners Loan Corporation Legal Department employe, is the probable choice.

Yugoslavian - Hungarian dispute to the regular meeting of the council in January. But a Hungarian memorandum replying to Yugoslavian charges that the assassins of King Alexander of Yugoslavia were sheltered on Hungarian territory was to be published tonight, and it was feared this would bring anew outbreak of bitterness. Aligned with Yugoslavia against Hungary, and talking in war-like terms, were Czechoslovakia and Rumania, fellow members of the Little Entente with Yugoslavia and Turkey. So far Hungary stood alone, but with Great Britain, France and Russia working for peace. Italy, vitally interested in any dispute involving Yugoslavia, was silent. It was authoritatively Indicated even b*efore the Yugoslavian expul - sions that Italy would support Hungary against charges of responsibility for the Marseille assassination. It was indicated also that if Yugoslavia’s charges were overstrong, Italy would call attention to monuments on Yugoslavian soil to terrorists who precipitated the World war by assassinating Archduke Franz Ferdinand of AustriaHungary. What would happen if there were a real clash of arms between Hungary and Yugoslavia, the powers did not like to visualize. Hungary’s Anger Mounts BY GEORGE KALDOR United Press Staff Correspondent (Copyright, 1934. by United Press) BUDAPEST, Dec. 8. Anper mounted in Hungary tonight as reports continued of destitute refugees arriving at frontier points, expelled from their homes in Yugoslavia, Feeling was dangerously bitter along the frontier, particularly at Roeszke, near where armed bands of Yugoslavian citizens crossed the frontier Thursday arfcT led to false reports abroad that Yugoslavian soldiers invaded Hungary—an act of war. Inhabitants of the district appealed to the Government to send rifles and ammunition with which to repel any further incursions of the bands—civilians who plunder political enemies frequently, and who have crossed the frontier before. Vast Lonely Plain The section is a vast lonely plain through which straggles a railway and a few narrow, mud-caked roads. Reinforcements of Yugoslavian police, as well as the irregulars, were at the frontier tonight, sent with the asserted object of preventing any refugees from returning to Yugoslavian soil. Tone of newspaper comment here was growing ever sharper and excitement increased as the pitiful groups of refugees arrived. Authorities at thd frontier, reinforced by officials from the capital, sought emergency shelter for arrivals and as fast as they could sent the despairing people to large towns in the interior. Society People Aid Society people, theatrical stars and movie actresses, in evening clothes at night, turned out as volunteers to aid in dispensing rolls and stew to the lines of refugeees as they arrived in the interior towns. Archduke Albrecht of Austria-Hungary took 329 of the refugees to his estate at Magyarboly. Latest arrivals at Szeged, whence this correspondent has just returned. were mostly peasants. They said they were told of the deportation order at 11 in the morning and warned to leave in the afternoon. They included a man who had undergone an r.peration a few days ago and a wom an suffering from fever after the birth of a child. Hoosier Held in Fatal Shooting By United Press CLINTON, Ind..
