S-NRA BACKERS, ENEMIES GIVE SENATE VIEWS

Both Sides Are Aired at Public Session Held in Senate Chamber. (Continued From Page Onei their men a decent wage. Other opposition comes from persons who know nothing of this bill; those who haven't even r**ad it.” Mr. Foster also read a long list of groups and associations which, he said, included 50 000 business units. Nearly all were solidly behind a S-NRA move, he declared. “You lose the decision if you hit a foul blow in a prize fight,” Mr. Foster added. “Why shouldn't the same rules apply in business?” Wells Flays New Deal Foes Francis Weils, state NRA compliance director, declared that the only real opposition to NRA came from New Deal foes. “How can a group that for years has favored a high tariff object to the same type of protection against chiseling competition?” Mr. Wells asked. He urged enactment of the bill as a means of aiding national code compliance. “Thus persistent newspaper attack Is largely distortion and misrepresentation of fact,” Mr. Wells declared. “Why all this emphasis on the alleged failure of a staie-NKA in New Jersey? Because it is the only exception to the success of the state-NRA movement and even that is a poor example. because in New Jersey the state act was thrown overboard for political reasons.” Proteition Given as Reason Protection to intrastate commerce, not covered by the national NRA was advanced as a strong reason for enactment of S-NRA. Organized labor representatives were emphatic in demanding the added protection offered by S-NRA legislation. "It means the right to sell our labor as the shopkeeper sells his goods,” said Joseph Timko, representing United Mine Workers of America. Adolph J. Fritz. Indiana Federation of Labor sccretry. and Frank D. Morgan, also representing the state federation, added their pleas for the added protection that S-NRA would bring to the working man. Profitable. Says McNay R. S. McNay. representing 1750 retail auto dealers, declared NRA had proved profitable to his industry though it entailed increased cost through higher wages. He asked the committee for prompt and favorable action on the S-NRA measure to aid in enforcement of the national codes. The strongest opposition came from hotel and restaurant owners. L. C. Levering. Antle.s i'otel manager. stated a code is impractical for his business “It hasn't worked and it won't work,” he said. “We are faced with the problem of a 24-hour day and a seven-day week. We want to comply but we can not. Too strict enforcement would put many of us out of business.” Cites Rising Food Costs J. F. O’M.:honey, Indiana Restaurant Owners' Association secretary, said less than 10 per cent of the restaurants in Indiana are complying with the national code. Rising food costs and long working hours offer a problem that code enforcement would only aggravate, he declared. M. E. Scot ten, Newcastle. Srate Chamber of Commerce director, insisted S-NRA would work serious hardship on many small businesses. “The members of my organization would be tittle effected.” he said. “Most of them are operating under national colts. It is the small local businesses that will suffer. It is our opinion that this bill, if passed, would increase the existing confusion. Sees Trouble Ahead “Production costs would soar. The added supervisory costs and auditing charges would be all out of proportion to their importance.” Mr. Scmten aded. “I can see nothing but trouble ahead if this bill is made law.” said H C. Atkuis of E. C. Atkins & Cos.. Indianapolis. “It is unnecessary and inadequate. This is a Federal experiment that has not worked. Let the Federal government carry it on.'' Mr. Atkins added. Other opponents of the measure were Walter Golden. Columbus foundry man: J. G. Newsom. Bartholomew Comity Farm Bureau secretary: T. M. Overly.

Indiana Artists Defy Critic of ‘Local Color’; Spokesman Slams Grant Woods ‘Regionalism’

V/ill Vawters Into the Light” is an example of the Indiana paintlag which Grant Wood, noted “regionalist” art leader, yesterday characterized as “local color” artistry, interested primarily in how sunlight falls on the surface of objects . . . and putting no accent upon the significant” “American Gothic” is perhaps the most famous work done by Mr. Wood and his ideals of “analyzing, sifting, editorializing subject matter o. which the artist has an adequate knowledge through personal experience.”

BY JOHN THOMPSON Times Staff Writer TNDIANA artists today appeared to be more than ready to enter the lists against Grant Wood, on the issue of “regionalism" versus “local color.” The battle was started yesterday when Mr. Wood, lowa artist and leader of the “regionalists” school, let it be known that, in his opinion, Indiana artists were merely “local colorists . . . attempting to paint what is typical of Indiana.” Elmer Taflinger, eminent local artist, denied yesterday that Indiana artists painted mere local spots and scenes because, he said: “No artist can help putting into his work the panorama of his own personal experience. “I am not interested in Indiana art or a:lists.’ Mr. Taflinger explained," but I am interested in this group of unconscious living models, the people of Indianapolis.” "The time will come when Grant Wood will be sorry he ever painted ‘American Gothic,’ ” Mr. Taflnger said of one of Mr. Wood's most famous pictures, “because that type of thing will so stigmatize him that

OPTOMETRY LAW IS ATTACKED IN COURT New Statute Is Tested by Evansville Man. The optometry law, passed by the present session of the Indiana Legislature as Senate Bill No. 43 and signed by Gov. Paul V. McNutt Feb. 13. already is the subject of a suit to test its legality. The suit was filed yesterday in Marion County Superior Court. Room 5, before Judge Herbert E. Wilson. Plaintiff Edward J. Solar.d, Evansville. named the Indiana State Board of Registration and Examination in Optometry, John P. Davey, Walter Kocher, Don Harpham. Oris Booth, board members and Atty. Gen. Phillip Lutz Jr., as defendants. Mr. Soland said he filed the suit in behalf of all state optometrists. The constitutionality of the law is challenged on the ground that the Legislature does not have the right to delegate to any person, firm, or corporation the right to legislate, and further attacks the law on the basis it gives the board absolute powers to determine “according to mere opinion, whim or caprice of board members thereof, what shall eonstitue unprofessional conduct.”

NEW CIVILIZATION IS FORECAST BY CHASE Transition From Capitalism Is in Process. Economist Says. B<! I'niti and Pr.-st ATLANTIC CITY. N. J.. Feb. 26. —Civilization of the Western world is in the throes of an economic | transition from capitalism to a ! system which will better meet the demands of a "high energy" culture. Stuart Chase, noted economist, told the National Education Association convention last night. "If we can keep our perspective and our heads." Mr. Chase said, "we may come out of this troubled transition with a stout foundation for the greatest civilization ever dreamed of.” "Capitalism has outlived its functions though the wreckage will take many years to clear away,” he said.

he wont be able to paint anything else.” “Many artists have had the same inspirations which Wood has painted,” the local artists chorused, “but we never thought them worth putting on canvas.” ana AS to Thomas Benton, the Indiana World Fair mural and a “regionalist” friend of Mr. Wood. Mr. Taflinger said: “Benton has never painted a real picture. Any one who executes hands like Benton, must have something wrong with his thinking.” When Mr. Benton was awarded the contract for painting the World’s Fair murals for Indiana a little more tTn two years ago. Mr. Taflinger became so incensed at the idea of an "outside” artist being given the job, in the face of the “fact" that Indiana had such “a rich heritage of artists.” that he applied to the state to allow him to change his “place of nativity.” In closing his rebuttal to Mr. Wood’s statement, Mr. Taflinger said: “I will make a side bet with Grant Wood for any amount that he or I may be able to scrape up, that he can’t paint a regional painting of Indiana either.” Indianapolis Tomorrow Indiana Farm Bureau, all day, Claypool.

City Deaf Pupils Helped by Lip Reading Classes Special Instruction to Give Those So Handicapped Same Advantages Enjoyed by Normal Children Indianapolis children who have been handicaped in school work because of impediments in hearing are to have the same advantages of normal children, it was learned today. Special classes in lip reading for children who have difficulty in hearing are being started in the city's public schools, as a part of the program in special education under super-

vision of W. A. Hacker, assistant superintendent in charge of social service and special education. Twelve pupils already have been assigned to the first class, which meets twice weekly at Technical High School. They were selected for the class through a series of tests made with special machines known as audiometers, and through examinations by competent otologists. Other classes, organized from schools where similar tests have been made, soon will be opened. The new course in lip reading will be directed by Mrs. Ruth K. Heavenridge, supervisor of special education. It will be taught by Mis:i T T •• Padou, a graduate of Nitche School of Lip Reading, New York, and former student at Teachers College, Columbia University.

COURT ENJOINS ‘WHITE COLLAR' UNION PICKETS

Distinction Drawn Between Sales Group and Labor Craft. By United Press NEW YORK, Feb. 26.—Organized labor today challenged a Mew York Supreme Court decision denying a union the right to enforce a closed shop against a department store and announced an immediate appeal would be taken. A ruling by Justice Salvatore A. Cotillo was characterized as unprecedented in that the court drew a line of demarcation between manual labor and white-collar workers. The decision said that the “personal equation" enters the white-collar class in contrast to labor that is standardized. Specifically, the court granted an injunction restraining a unit of the Retail Cloak, Suit, Dress and Fur Sales Peoples Union from picketing R. A. Freed Inc., retail department store. The union is an A. F. of L. affiliate. Talents Are Elusive Justice Cotillo stressed the fact that the store had agreed to open contract negotiations with the union if the closed shop question was eliminated, but that the union refused. “Employment within the field of retail distribution,” the decision said, “affords an opportunity for individual enterprise possibly greater than that in any other craft. Those talents which make for success and individual progress are elusive, and yet real and demonstrate only under reasonable liberty of individual action, so that the regimentation of a closed shop would act as a deterrent to the initiative and ambition of the employes. Service Is Different “Unionization of labor in its most effective form of the closed shop should be restricted to those fields in which the services of the employes have some degree of standardization, such as bricklayers, longshoremen, chauffeurs and similar industries. “I do not believe that citizens offering a type of service such as that of professional men, including doctors, lawyers or dentists, could be successfully organized into unions of the closed shop character, which will dictate to the exclusion of the desire of the employer or the satisfaction of the public at largo.”

rimN© jVAl'Mlliajm Chiff of Air Service Scripps -Hot*ard Junior Aviator LET'S get off the beaten track of flying. Come back with me to a few years ago when the thought of flying 300 miles an hour was just a dream. Two young Navy lieutenants were each given a trim, streamlined plane—Navy Curtiss racers—and ordered by the United States Navy Department to investigate high speed and bring back an answer. The world’s speed record at that time was 236 miles an hour. Lieut Harold Brow was one of the chaps. ... I happened to be the other. The speed course over which we were to test our planes, in level flight, was a mile and seveneighths long. Our ships were only good for 248 miles an hour in level flight. We realized the longest dive, to get speed, would capture the record. Away went Brow . . . take-off speed about 80 miles an hour. I saw him hurtle up and down the course, twice in each direction, to break the world's record at an average speed of 257 miles. My guess was that Brow had dived from about 3500 feet. So I hopped off and climbed up to 4500. I opened the motor wide and pushed the plane's nose straight for the ground. Things started to happen . . . the ground came up with a rush . . . 4500 feet wiped out in a flash. I saw the judges place white strips on the field in the form of a “plus” sign. This meant the world's speed record again had been broken, I had hit 258 miles an hour. Up went Lieut. Brow again . . . to dive from a still greater altitude. This time he flashed over the course at 259 miles an hour. Great stuff . . . the speed record cracked three times in a few minutes. That was the end of that day, a Friday. We w r ere to try again on Sunday ... a day destined to be the greatest in my life. I’ll tell you about that tomorrow. a tt a QUESTION: What is an air pocket? What you think of as an air pocket is nothing more or less than a column of air which has become chilled. It descends to-
