IT LYIIN© WIITIU-. • j^ALWlluam f hot %ir Sfrii'f r.pp, Horn ard Junior A'.ialor \1 TELL, fellows, todays story- * V telling day. Got a couple good yarn: I bet you and like to hear . . . we can t be too serious or work too hard ail the time, you know. It seems at a national air pageant once there were three little tow-headed youngsters . ryes as big as saucers . . . watch.ng everything with the keenest interest. A friend of mine was standing them and heard this conversation . . . As my Hawk came across the airdrome. 50 or 75 feet above the ground up id** down, one little chap •urn'Yi and said, ' Gee. ain’t that great, up :de down. - ’ • Thr nearest one answered, “Yeah! Up ;de down so close to the ground . . but I bet he won t lard that way.” "Nah!” said the third . . . ‘ The big sissy!" Had a hat wi?h a British friend of mine who told me some mterting things about Imperial Airwavs m Africa. The natives are very vague about the passage of •ime . . . and refer to such-and-such an incident as occurring just before or just after the bird flew over. <The big bird, of course, is the Imperial planet. Then he had another story . . . thi- one about a native' who visited a jungle airdrome for the fir t time. He had never seen a flying machine before, and stood amazed as a plane circled the Arid. ' Would you like to be up in that big bird?” someone asked him. "No!” said the dusky native. “But I would like to have some of its eggs to take back home.” QUESTION: Why are fat airwheels used on an airplane? Don't' thev offer more wind resistance than the old small-tired ones? Perhaps some— although the modern streamlined landing gear cuts resistance to a minimum. Airwhpels take up the shock and save the ship from a great deal of rough bumping. Passenger comfort also is increased. GETS 180-DAY TERM ON 'FIXING' CHARGE Former Police Headquarters Janitor Also Fined SlOrt. Henry McDonald, former Neero janitor at police headquarters, yesterday in Police Court denied charges of Mrs. Gertrude Luster, Negro, 216 Bright-st., that he had accepted S6O from her in 1929 te "fix” a probation and asserted that his accuser had a personal spite against hint. Municipal Judge Dewey Myers srmencen McDonald to serve ISO days on the Indiana State Farm and fined him SIOO and costs on an assauli and battery charge.

WAY PAVED TO RID PLAZA OF TWO CHURCHES Law Signed by Governor Permits State Board to Take Action. Clearing of two church buildings from the World War Memorial Plaza was made possible yesterday when Gov. Paul V. McNutt signed a bill giving the state Public Works Department the right of eminent domain. The World War Memorial is opcrated as a division of the Slate Department. Removal of the two church build,ngs could be ordered by the department under the bill, it is said. The Governor signed 24 bills yesterday. Among the prominent measures signed were stream pollution, the child labor amendment resolution, a bill merging the Sani’arv D r partmcnt and Public Works Board of Indianapolis, and a salary increase for members of the state Clemency Board. Truckers Win Victory Op°rators of privately owned trucks won two victories yesterday in the House when they were exempted from taxation and licensing in two measures. One bill removed trucks from an administration bill passed authorizing a sl2 license fee for contract and common earners. The vote was 65 to 28. The other bill lowered the weight tax on trucks from $1 a hundred pounds to 60 cents and exempted private carriers from the bill. The House defeated a measure which would have levied a maximum SSO annual license fee on trucks used by transient vendors in Indiana. Propose Salary Cuts The Senate today was to receive a bill approved by the House of Representatives late yesterday to cut the salaries of the Indianapolis School Board business director, secretary and building superintendent. Rep. John C. Kirch 'D., Indianapolis), author of the bill, asserted it was one of the few measures that would reduce taxes. The measure would cut th* business director's salary from S6OOO to $4000; secretary, SSOOO to $3800; building superintendent, $4325 to $3600. Acts on Slums Program Senate rules were suspended late yesterday to rush through a bill introduced the day before to enable state and Federal agencies to condemn properties for slum clearance projects. The measure was placed on third reading despite a bitter attack by Senator William E. Jenner tR.. Paoli). Finance Bills Passed The Senate followed the lead of the House and passed last night three important conditional sales and finance bills, sponsored by the state administration. One of the bills establishes a code and state supervision for the operation of industrial loan and investment companies, and regulates their interest rates. Another of the three bills is a national uniform trust receipts act, which sets up a uniform conditional sales and conditional selling arrangement. The rights of both buyer and seller will be protected under the

'SOCIAL LOBBY' CHARGE LAID TO MRSJENCKES Wernecke Opposition Linked to Dinner Held in Honor of Cummings. B'J Tim*.* Speri'il WASHINGTON, March B.—Mrs. Virginia Jenckcs, Indiana s oniy woman member of Congress, was being accused today of setting up a "social lobby.” Last night she entertained at dinner in her home in the Northumberland Apartments for Atty. Gen. Homer S. Cummings and Mrs. Cummings. The affair was "purely social,” all there would admit. But it also is admitted that Mr. Cummings has not yetsent his findings regarding charges made by Mrs. Jenckcs to thwart an appointment for Richard Wernecke. Terre Hau‘e Democratic “boss,” over to the White House. Minton Selects Man Senator Sherman Minton (D., Ind.) has nominated Mr. Wernecke for the United States marshalship at Indianapolis. Senator Frederick VanNuvs <D.. Ind.) nominated Fred Bays, Sullivan. Mrs. Jenckcs protested against Mr. Wernecke and made a personal visit regarding the matter to the Attorney General's office. The "social lobby” charge is vitiated somewhat by the fact that on Wednesday night Mrs. Jenckcs gave a similar dinner for Daniel Roper, Secretary of Commerce, and Mrs. Roper. Guests at the dinner were Miss Grace Roper, daughter; Senator and Mrs. Joseph C. O'Mahoney, Edward Abbey, New York City; Mr. and Mrs. Edward Keating, Washington; Brig. Gen. C. D. Herron, Ira Nelson Morris, Chicago; Earl Houck, Indianapolis. Cummings Dinner Guests At the Cummings dinner were Rt. Rev. James H. Ryan, Bishop of Modra and president of the Catholic University of America; Senator and Mrs. Patrick McCarran, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hamlin, Washington, and Samuel D. Royse, Terre Haute. Miss Virginia Jenckes assisted her mother as hostess. Karl Wernecke, Terre Haute, brother of “little Dick,” is in the city. He was not invited.
