SENATORS, IRKED BY TIMES BARBS, RAIL AT EDITOR POWELL Mcßride, for Nicholson Bill, Now Will Vote Against It Because of Editorial, He Asserts in Bitter Debate. •YELLOW JOURNALISM/ ROARS JANES But Other Lawmakers Rise to Defense of Newspaper Chief; It’s All Over the Phrase ‘Jackleg Lawyers.’ An pciiinrial by Talcntt Powell, The Indianapolis Times pditoi. derlarinjr opposition to the Nicholson bill outlawing' halm" suits comes from ‘‘the jackleg lawyer who he may he forced out of fees for collecting legal blackmail," today precipitated a hitter debate on the floor of the Indiana Senate. The editorial was l>oth oefended and condemned. Senator Claude B. Mcßride (D., Jeffersonville), an attorney, said he was surprised that Senator William Litzgerald (D., North’

Vernon), another attorney, ‘‘should try to defend such a dastardly piece of writing.” Senator Mcßride declared he had intended to support the Nicholson bill, which ha* p.wri the Hnuv* of Representat Ives. but “no* I want to ,h<w the world that no ‘hammer-headed - editor can brow-boat me." Senator Fitzgerald. who said he also had been offended by th editorial when he first read it, said Mr. Powoll had explained to him that the editorial referred to "shyster ' lawvers outside the Senate a ho are attempting to defeat the measure. Read hy All. It Seems The debate wa.s opened bv Senator .les.se E. Wade. Demorratie member from Ml. Vernon, another attorney. Senator Wade .started his discussion with the quotation: -Whom the Gods Would Destroy First They Make Mad " He then called attention to The Times’ editorial which appeared to have been read by every member of the upper house. -We should resent that editorial highlv." Senator Wade declared. "I an ret afraid to tell Talcott Powell, the man who wrote the editorial. t. * it is damnable and should be retracted with comment." Se.-.aior Fitzgerald then related his personal conversation yesterday afternoon with Mr. Powoll. -Not at All Clear" -That's not the way the editorial sounded to us. Senator Wade Interrupted. T will admit the editorial is not at all clear." Senator Fitzgerald continued, -but it has been explained by Mr. Powell and it should be studied mor* thoroughly by members of the Senate." “We had best not push too hard or Mr. Powell may prove it on us." injected Senator H. Jernegan. Republican, from Mishawaka, another senatorial attinney. Then Senator Mcßride entered upon his tirade. Senator William B Janes. Democratic Senator from New Albany, disagreed with Senator Mcßride in hi* theorv the Nicholson bill should be opposed because of the editorial.

Wri Take* Floor "Do not let a good bill suffer because of a smelly, yellow-journalism attitude.' Senator Jones pleaded. "I, too. was angry 'hen I read that editorial. but the editorial should make no difference in the consideration of a good bill." At this juncture. Lieut.-Gov. M Clifford Townsend attempted to end the discussion, pointing out that the -heart balm” bill was not before the Senate at the time for consideration. Senator Jacob Weiss. Senate president pro tem.. amid laughter. *nsisted he should have the right io be heard, first because he is in favor of passage of the bill: secondly because he Is counsel for The Times, and thirdly, because he is Mr Powell's friend. “Senator Wade was justifiably angry.” Senator Weiss asserted. “The •ditonal is ambiguous. As soon as 1 saw it I telephoned Mr. Powell and ha cam* over here and explained It. which shows his interest. Mr. Powell explained that h“ was not imputing the motives of any Senator who happens to be an attorney, but was referring to shyster' attorneys outside the Senate who would be interested in killing the bill.”

"None In the Senate" Senator Weiss explained that Senator Wade was not among those with whom he and Mr. Powell talked. “Os course." Senator Weiss explained. " there are no ‘jacklpg or shyster’ lawyers in the Senate." Senator William D. Hardy, 'D. Evansville*. also an attorney, said he had “lost no sleep” on account c i the editorial: that he is not "thin skinned” and believed that no "thin-skinned” person should accept public office. The debate ended when Senator Lawrence E Carlson R..

STUDENT STRIKE HITS DEADLOCK Director Seeks Banishment of Malcontents: New Parley Sought. RV TIPTON RUSH Timai Staff Writer FRANKLIN. FVb. 19—Striking students and members of the board of directors of Franklin College remained at loggerhei ds today as one leading director declared that he. peaking as an individual, saw no . reason for another meeting between the board and the student commit- j tee and suggested that the malcon- ! tents be sent to their homes. The students yesterday voted to j continue their strike, now in its i sixth day, and elected a committee ' of 12 to meet with the directors and | make another attempt to settle their difficulties. Today a majority of the students I abided by the decision of the mass | meeting vote and remained from classes and all organized college activities. The militant director, who declined to allow use of his name, said that he had not received an official j invitation from the students to attend the conference, which the students have asked for tomorrow" night. He said, however, that he felt such a conference would be futile since, he felt, the strikers had shown that they could not be depended on to adhere to the committee's decisions when they rejected the compromise proposal offered Sunday night by 1 the directors and Preside!. William Gear Spencer. D. D. This proposal, which granted none [ of the k'rikers’ demands, had been agreed to by a student committee, but was rejected by a ballot of the students after President Spencer had addressed them outlining his stand on the situation. Student leaders indicated strongly that they felt Dr. Spencer was not sincere in his offer to co-operate with them and declared that they would demand his resignation, as well as that of Dean P. L. Powell, if the administration remained indifferent. to their demands.

What the Supreme Court Gold Decisions Mean to ‘John Public

F* CmiU4 Prt.i WASHINGTON. Feb. 19.—What does the gold ease mean to the man with a few dollars in the bank o: with modest investments in securities?

PROBE INTO CROSSING ARREST 'UNDER WAY' Chief Fails to Submit Report to Safety Board. Six days after a police squad car drove across railroad tracks while a warning light was ringing and then arrested the conductor of a train which hit them. Chief Mike Morrissey today announced to the Safety Board that he had no report to make, but that he would attempt to finish his investigation by the next board meeting. Patrolman Robert Smith, under command of Sergt. William Purcell, early Thursday morning drove the police car across the Belt Railroad tracks at the Kentucky-av crossing. A train of four cars and an engine bore down upon the auto and stopped, but not before grazing a fender of the police car. Morton R*ud. train conductor, was arrested on an obscure city ordinance and given a suspended fine. Although it is a company rule that employes involved in an accident on the line be discharged. Mr. Reid is still holding his position. He has announced that he will appeal. Chief Morrissey said today that he hal interviewed the crew and trainmen and had been present at the inquiiy bf the company.

damage resulted from dollar devaluation. Some lawyers maintained the high court decisions left the door open for such suits. New Deal congressional leaders were heartened by the legal victory. In it they found net” strength to attack, stubborn legislative imposition wnich has delayed the $4,830.000.000 recovery bill and jeopardised the program for economic security and extension of NRA. Obstacles Are Hurdled Administration spokesmen feel obstacles to monetary projects have been hurdled. The New Deal plans to move on to higher commodity prices and ultimately a dollar stabilized internationally and at home. In three aistinct types of cases the court held: 1. Congress had ample authority to abrogate the gold clause in private securities. 2. Congress exceeded ivs authority in abrogating the gold clause in government bonds, but in the case at issue no damage was shown and the suit was thrown out of court. 3. Congress had ample authority to seize gold certiflctaes arid replace them with devalued currency Maneuver for Advantage Leaders of the silver bloc are maneuvering for any advantage that may be gained from the court's decision that value need not be related strictly to gold. First silver development was a proposed amendment to the recovery bill ot expand currency by $325,000,000 with silver. In the background there was a rumble of dissent. Justice James C. Mcßevnolds spoke for three colleagues and numbers of his fellow citizens yesterday in bitter arraignment. of the policies which a majority of the court was able to accept. -4 ‘ The Constitution $ gone, roared the aging jurist. “’;Vhis is Nero at his worst.” \ By a five-to-four ipargin the court stood by Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes, one-time Republican candidate for President, but more often than r ot on the bench a member of the so-called liberal group. Emphasizes Liberal Dominance The decision emphasizes the lib-eral-conservative division of thought which extends from the austere little court chamber to town and country and from one coast to the other. Justice Mcßeynolds' bitter words sounded the passionate challenge conservatism utters to the New Deal and its monetary works. ‘‘All is lost,” Justice Mcßeynolds grumbled when the court .->?lit five- | to-four a year ago to support the ! New York state milk control law. Again he protested the court's approval of the Minnesota mortgage moratorium. But the anxic-cy of ! conservatism became an angry protest yesterday as Justice Mcßeynolds spoke. Bitter must have been the court conferences at which justices arrived at their decision. Not in the memory of any who heard Justice Mcßeynolds yesterday has language so harsh been directed by a justice at the finding of a majority of his fellows. ‘‘We are dealing here with a de(Tum to Page Three)

go back on its word? A —Tha Supreme Court says that constitutionally the government had no right to brei'k its promise. But, on the other hand, it found that holders of government bonds had shown no real loss, because the present devalued dollars will buy just as much in this country as did the old gold dollars, and hence it threw out of court the suit of a bondohlder who had sought $1.69 on the dollar. Q—Are there any exceptions to this finding? A—Possibly American citizens who bought government bonds and took them to foreign countries, where, because of currency rates they suffered real loss through devaluation, could collect extra amount*.

PARI-MUTUELS FOR STATE LOSE FIRST TEST AS HOUSE REJECTS REPORT INCLUDING DOG BETTING

UTTER FIGHT LOOMS Ml LIQUOR HU Outlawing of Roadhouses to Precipitate Battle in Legislature. Outlawing of 1800 Indiana roadhouses under the provisions of the administration's liquor control oill appeared likely to precipitate a bitter fight ir. the General Assembly. A public hearing on the bill will be held tomorrow night at 7:30 in the House of Representatives. Rep. Morris H. Coers <D.. Indianapolis), committee chairman, announced that advocates and opponents of the bill are invited to attend. The control measure, filed yesterday in the House of Representatives, would deny liquor and beer permits to places operated outside the corporate limits of cities and towns. Framers of the bill provided for abolishment of roadhouses and other liquor and beer vendors outside cities and towns because they are convinced such businesses should be carried only where there is established police supervision. Meanwhile members of both houses studied piovisions of the voluminous document. Among its sponsors is Rep. Morris H. Coers <D., Indianapolis), clergyman-member of the lower house.

Importers to Be Abolished Provision is made for abolishment Nov. 15 of the importer system. With termination of the importer system, only state beer wholesalers would become eligible for import licenses, for which they w’ould be charged a fee of SISOO in addition to the SIOOO paid for the wholesaler permit. One beer wholesaler would be permitted in each county of 20.000 or less, and one additional wholesaler for each additional 20.000 population. Such dealers w’ould be allowed to sell beer in adjacent counties, as w’ell as in the county in which their business is located. Interest of out-of-state breweries and other non-residents in wholesale sales are prohibited, and wholesalers would be prohibited from having a direct interest in retail outlets. Beer retailers w’ould be limited to restaurants, hotels and clubs and they could sell for consumption only on the premises where sold. Patrons Must Be Seated Patrons of beer retailers must be seated at tables or counters while being served and bars and counters where they could stand are prohibited along with window screens and curtains. Outstanding licenses would expire June 1, under terms of the bill, excepting beer and wane retail licenses in cities and towns which would end Nov. 15. Breweries, for which annual license fees of S2OOO w’ould bp charged, are limited to 19, the number now’ in operation or building. Breweries may sell direct to consumers at the brewery or deliver not over one-half barrel to homes. Ownership or control of warehouses outside the county of manufacturer is made unlawful. Administration of the law w’ould be under the supervision of a fulltime Alcoholic Beverages Commission, composed of tw’o bi-partisan commisisoners and a State Excise Commissioner, all by the Governor for staggered four-year terms. Salaries are limited to S6OOO a year each. County Boards Created Commission members must be over 31 years of age and 10 years resident taxpayers of excellent character and disinterested in the liquor or beer business. Three-member county boards are created to serve one years to pass upon fitness of applicants for retail beer, wine or whisky licenses. To county boards is left the power to recommend state action on applicaj tions for licenses within 1000 feet of 1 churches and schools.

Q—Well, if everything seems to remain just the same as it was before these cases arose, what was all the excitement about? A—ls the cases had gone against the government and former gold obligations had been ordered paid at the rate of $1.69 to the dollar, former gold debts of corporations and states and municipalities aggregating $75,000.000.000 would have at once taken on a value of $126,750,000,000. This might have thrown many of the country’s greatest corporations into bankruptcy, demoralized markets and raised general havoc. The government’s own debt would have been increased many billions and the federal credit strained cr wrecked. m m m Q— With these appertn* dire events avoided, are the court's lavarable to the govern?

ASKS BIGGER ARMY

Gen. Douglas Mae Arthur

PRESIDENT ASKS LARGER ARMY $378,699,488 Provided for National Defense in Supply Bill. By TJnilfd Pi eti WASHINGTON. Feb. 19.—The largest War Department appropriation bill, with one exception, in American peace-time history was reported to the House today. It carried n indirect warning to foreign nations that America plans a strong defense. The $378,699,488 Army supply bill provided for purchase of 547 new airplanes, strengthening the National Guard and. on direction of the President, increase of the regular Army from 128.750 to 165.000 men. The Appropriations Committee called for the largest military outlay since 1921, w’ith exception of 1931. “Taking the Navy into acount,” the report said, “the 1936 budget for national defense is approximately $100,000,000 in excess of the largest regular annual appropriations for national defense since enactment of the budget law.” The budget for the Navy w’as $477,224,000 for the next fiscal year. The committee heeded the warning of Gen. Douglas MacArthur. chief of staff, that the present size of the regular Army is “a continued menace to the safety of the country.”

Sponsors Bill to Abolish State Printing Bureau Senator White's Measure Seen as Long-Awaited Blow From Organized Labor: Savings Disputed. A bill calling for the abolition of the Central Duplicating Department in the Statehouse will be introduced in the Indiana. Senate by Senator E. Curtis White <D.. Indianapolis), he announced today. Senator White’s bill is the first blow struck from organized labor at the duplicating department, long regarded as a source of unfair competition. ]

Charges that the department, which is under Adjt. Gen. Elmer F. Straub, is operated at a loss instead of the profit claimed, and that the employes are worked under condititions inconsistent with NRA. are contained in a broadside from the Indiana Typothetae, Inc. The broadside, containing cartoons and newspaper stories from The Indianapolis Times assailing “sw’eat shop conditions” has been laid on the desk of every Senator and Representative. The Typothetae petitions the Legislature to strike from the biennial budget bill a $15,000 rotary fund request and breaks down the duplicating department figures in an effort to show that the department actually is operating at a loss, instead of an estimated SBO,OOO annual saving. “A report of 11 months operating of the Central Duplicating Department shows.” according to the Typothetae charges, “that the state administration officials claim an actual profit of $7,082.19, which rep-

nient likely to have any general effect? A—The uncertainty of the gold cases has been hanging over the markets for weeks. Now that is over. Administration officials hope general business and finance can move forward with new confidence and assurance. Q—Are the decisions likely to affect the New Deal’s future monetary policy? A —Administration officials, hailing the decisions as a complete and sweeping victory, feel the readjustment of United States money is now firmly bulwarked by the highest court in the land. Presumably this approval might make the President more willing to use the authority he holds from Congress to reduce the value of the dollar another 10 per cent if he thought that desirable. But there is no indication whatever that the New Deal now aims at anything but continued slto

CUT SALARIES IS DEMAND OF STATE G. 0. P. House Minority to Insist on Reductions, Report at Legislature. Insistence of the Republican minority on a flat 10 per cent cut in states salaries with an estimated saving of $5,000,000. was reported scheduled for this afternon when the House of Representatives considers the biennial budget bill. Reports also were current that the Republicans again might attempt to bolt consideration of the $50,000,000 appropriations measure as they did last Friday in the committee of the whole meeting. Several insurgent Democrats said they would join such a walknut and might stage a miniature 'revolt of their own. if the Republicans remain placid. Stein to Invoke Authority However, Speaker Edward H. Stein was prepared to invoke the constitutional authority of the House and force attendance by use of doorkeepers, if a bolt developed, and the House quorum is broken. Rep. Frank G. Thompson. Bluffton. Democratic floor leader, had prepared a statement preparatory to calling down the budget bill, in which he answered the illegality charges made by Rep. James M. Knapp. Hagerstown, minority floor leader, in the committee of the whole. Speaker Stein said the minority members could offer amendments to the bill, but that if they attempted obstructionist tactics the bill would be passed to engrossment. Yesterday Rep. James M. Knapp, Republican floor leader, laid down a set of specifications which the Republicans h„d agreed upon in secret caucus. Might Block Passage These included a series of questions the minority wants answered regarding increased appropriations and the reasons for delay in presenting the budget bill. The. veteran Republican legislator said his colleagues demanded that every item of the budget be read and that a roll call be held on each and every one. With their 35 votes, the Republicans might block passage of the bill through breaking a quorum. Two-thirds of the membership must attend, according to the Constitution.

resents, according to their claims, that much saved to the state. This profit—or saving—was earned, according to their report on a volume of $56,097.88 billed to various state departments at printers contract prices.” Breaking down all figures and pointing out that the department is charged no rent, no interest on its investment, no lighting costs, no insurance and less than half enough for depreciation, the Typothetae fixes the department operations at a $651.81 net loss. “As masters of finance,” the Typothetae statement says, “if the statements of state administration officials are not in error, they have out-Ponzied Ponzi.” Loss to the state in taxes, working of employes as much as 80 hours a week, poor grade of work, loss to organized labor in buying power because of poor wages paid are charged in the statement to legislators.

bility of American money with no further changes in prospect. Q —Does the court’s action have any effect on the movement for remonetization of silver? A—lt does not affect the silver question directly, but it leads the silverites to believe that the court also would approve any action that might be taken to expand the use of silver money. Q —ls the decision likely to have any political effect? A—lt emphasizes more sharply than any recent event the division between liberals and conservatives on constitutional issues. Justice James C. Mcßevnolds, announcing the dissent of four conservative members from the court’s majority decision, said it meant ‘‘the Constitution is gone.’ New Dealers said the Constitution merely had been interpreted to meet fif&aeui-.ciay, futuatinafc

Morris Coers Is Attacked as •Welsher' in Bitter Debate. MEASURE FACES DELAY Bill Legalizing Horse Race Wagers Only Is Pending, Not Affected. Pari-mutuel hettinjr on both horse and dojr races had its first test of strength today in the House when a bill legalizing the betting was indefinitely postponed after a majority report of a committee approved the measure. The House division on the netting bill, after a heated debate in which charges of “welshing ' were htirled at Rep. Morris H. Coers <D.. Indianapolis), showed 47 in favor of substituting a minority committee report for indefinite postponement and 34 noes. The action, howpver, will not end all attempts to pass a pari-mutual measure in the General Assembly for the Ways and Means Committee hold a bill which permits pari-mu-tuel betting on horses. The dormant measure is backed by the state board of agriculture and it was said that today’s vote test on the measurp which included both horses and dogs was merely a trial balloon sent up in an pffort to learn the chances of passage of a parimutuel measure which excluded dog-racing. Bauer in Bitter Attack Earl Crawford, house parlimentarian. said the action on the blanket betting bill would not necessarily kill the agricultural board's bill. During the debate on the parimutuel bill Rep. Lenhardt E. Bauer iD., Terre Haute) charged that Mr. Coers, who opposed pari-mutuel betting, had agreed to support the horse-racing bill in the office of Plpas Greenleas, gubernatorial secretary. “I don't know as much about the Good Book as the representative from Marion County but I do know there’s an old race-track adage of “The Lord Hates a Welsher and I'll String Along With the Lord”— and that's what I'll do,” charged Rep. Bauer. Rep. Coers Replies Rep. James M. Knapp. Republican floor leader, arose and asked, “How come that you had to go to P'eas Greenleas' office to talk over thia bill?" “People meet at various places,” retorted Rep. Bauer. “I could answer the charges made but I'm not going to. Yeu think I'm a crank, you may believe I'm wrong, but I want to tell you this isn’t the time to let down the bars on betting and sell our youth gambling,” asserted Rep. Coers. Rep. Joseph E- Klen <D.. Whiting) charged that churches in the state held raffles at bazars and that it was as much gambling as betting on the horses. ‘Two evils don't make a right," retorted Rep. Coers. Newspaper Selections Cited Rep Bauer pointed out that Indianapolis newspapers carried race selections and that it was common knowledge that “bookies” were taking bets on horses. He displayed an edition of The Indianapolis Times and read from race selections of Tom Noone on today’s races. “But do you read the editorials of Indianapolis papers?" asked Rep. Coers. “If I believed everything I read in Indianapolis newspapers, I'd have a distorted view of life,” replied Rep. Bauer. The Dyer bill, imposing SIOOO license fees on chain stores, was killed by a 65-26 House vote. Vew Measures Offered New House measures included on* to prevent apartment houses from installing sub-meter systems for electric light and power; authorizing orders for repair or demolition of dilapidated buildings and licensing carnivals, circuses and other outdoor entertainment. Also introduced in the House was a Republican measure for repeal of the grass inco ne tax law. The House defeated a bill providing for the appointment of a deputy assessor for appraising Marion county intangibles. A bill extending the 1932 township poor relief commissary law until 1937 was revived in the Senate and passed by a vote of 43 to 2.
