THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

SECURITY AIMS ARE OUTLINED BY ROOSEVELT Work for All in New Relief Setup Urged jn Talk to Congress. (Continued From Page One) now on relief with provision for tapering off as private jobs develop. 7. Public works projects shall be located where they will serve the l greatest unemployment needs. Mr. Roosevelt said he would submit cost figures for this program in his budget message Monday. “I assure you now,” he added, ‘‘that they will be within the sound credit of the Government.” He said Federal emergency credit activities would be tapered off gradually. Mr. Roosevelt said approximately 5,000,000 unemployed persons now are on Government relief rolls. About 1,500,000 of these previously were cared for by local effort and for the most part are unemployable. “It is my thought,” he said, “that in the future they must be cared for as before.” The remaining 3,500.000 employable, able bodied recipients of Government relief in cash or markets baskets are to be given jobs. Need Jobs for 3.500,000 “We have assumed this task,” he said, “and we will not shrink from it in the future. “It is my duty dictated by every intelligent consideration of national policy to ask you to make it possible for the United States to give employment to all these 3,500,000 employable people now on relief, pending their absorption in a rising tide of private employment.” Slum clearance, reforestation, national highway construction for modern traffic and elimination of grade crossing are typical of the projects suggested by Mr. Roosevelt to effect his Federal job-making plan. Applause Is Frequent Applause which repeatedly interrupted Mr. Roosevelt’s slow, impressive language, swelled to a crescendo as the message ended with assurance that 1935 would be a year of “purposeful progress.” Congress seemed to be voting “Aye.” Legislators heard Mr. Roosevelt’s plea massed in the spacious hall of the House of Representatives. The Cabinet sat before him. In the galleries members of the Roosevelt family and their guests sat with crowded hundreds of lesser folk. As the President left the chamber, holding his son James by the arm, he remarked: “Well, it took three minutes longer than I figured.” Mrs. Roosevelt wore a black dress and a black hat. President’s Mother Present The President’s mother, in a caracul coat with a black and white scarf; his daughter, Mrs. Anna Roosevelt Dali, in black; two daughter -in - laws, Mrs. James Roosevelt II; wearing matching hat gloves of two tones of red with a black coat widely collared in mink, and Mrs. Elliott Roosevelt in a green suit; his granddaughter. Sistie- Dali, in a green coat and hat over a bright red dress, completed the family party. STATE ACCOUNTS BOARD TO HEAR GOV.

ASKS POLICE FOR RIDE, GETS IT, AND $25 FINE Parks Truck Illegally; Refuses to Go to Station Except in \fagon. Jack Arvesti, proprietor of a candy store at 144 N. Alabama-st, asked for a ride in a police patrol wagon and got it. That all happened a few days ago and yesterday, from Municipal Judge Dewey Myers, Arvesti got something he hadn’t asked for—a fine of $25 and costs for obstructing the sidewalk with an automobile. Ernest Heller, traffic policeman, told Judge Myers that Arvesti had a truck parked nine feet out into a 15-foot sidewalk and that he then refused to do anything about it when policeman Heller protested. This led to talk of court and Arvesti said he would go to court only in a patrol wagon, according to the policeman, who obligingly provided the wagon.

BANK LAW MAY BE LIBERALIZED Legislature Will Consider Action in Support of Housing Act. Legislation to liberalize the state banking law to permit wider latitude in making housing loans j is scheduled to come before the ! General Assembly. National banks already have been authorized to make the loans, which are insured, but state banks are handicapped by restrictive laws. The national housing act permits loans up to 80 per cent of the appraised valuation, but the Indiana law prohibits banks from making loans for more than 50 per cent. The Federal law also allows twentyyear loans, but the Indiana law prohibits state banks from making rear estate loans for more than five years. The changes, proposed by James A. Moffett, national housing administrator, would be applicable only to loans made under the Federal housing act. Another proposal would permit building and loan associations to come under the act.

By United Press BERLIN, Jan. 4.—Nazi leaders announced themselves as united behind Adolf Hitler today, and Germany as united behind them, after a strange meeting about which the public knew nothing. There was sqme uncertainty still as to its purpose, but it concerned itself with a denial of reports of an impending purge, with special emphasis on the army as supporting Hitler. It seemed that the meeting was intended partly to show unity in anticipation of the Saar plebiscite Jan. 13.

SEN. COSTIGAN MOVES TO CURB COURT POWERS Introduces Bill Amending Constitution to Protect Liberal Laws. By Seripps-Howard Srwspaper Allianre WASHINGTON. Jan. 4. Court attacks on New Deal legislation would be curbed by a constitutional amendment introduced today by Senator Edward Costigan, Democratic Progressive from Colorado. The measure would protect the bulk of the New Deal measures passed by Congress, and other progressive legislation, from assaults on constitutional grounds. It would confer on Congress specific power to legislate on hours, wages and conditions of labor, and to regulate and prevent unfair methods and practices in industry and commerce. Court interpretations of tire socalled “due process” clauses of the Constitution would be limited to the procedure methods used, as distinguished from the substance of the legislation itself. This would prevent courts from attempting to void New Deal enactments by declaring the emergency at an end. Four other progressive bills were introduced by Senator Costigan. They included: A constitutional amendment to subject tax-exempt securities to federal and state taxation; The anti-lynching bill which he and Senator Robert F. Wagner tD., N. Y.) sponsored last session; A bill to increase the present authorized bond issue for the Home Owners Loan Corp. by one and onehalf billion dollars, and to enable that corporation to use accrued payment of interest and principal on loans already made as a revolving fund for additional loans; A bill for small crop seed loans for 1935.
