BOARD STUDIES MERIT SYSTFM ON STATE JOBS Limited Application Backed by Committee: Maps Tax Program. The possibility of inaugurating a limited civil M-rvice program for the administration was being considered by the special legislative rorr.m: f tre at the Statehouse this afternoon.

The committee, which opened its sessions yesterday, is mapping a taxation and governmental economy program, although hopeful that a special legislative session may bf avoided.

The romm ttee of five senators, five repo -• natives and the presiding officers of both houses of the As embiy is working under the general chairmanship of Clarence Jackon. gros income tax division d'rector. Awaiting completion of the Federal proeram. the legislators have been working in subcommittees on county government revision. The most important bill tentatively drawn on this subject would make n optional with counties to wipe ou* township lines and use the county as the only unit of local government. Another county bill tentatively drawn would make the county the unit for poor relief financing, instead of the township.

City Girl Prizes Museum of Film Star Souvenirs Former Chorine Boasts of Mementos From Sally Rand, Ruth Roland and Other Luminaries.

SNAPSHOTS from Douglas Montgomery, risque greeting cards with ,3 unique personal comments from Sally Rand, hand-made handkerchiefs from once-famous Ruth Roland—all these are part of a carefully catalogued fan mail collection kept here by Gertrude Soeurt, 1201 N. Tremont-av. a former chorus girl. Born in Paris in 1907. Miss Soeurt became interested in show folk while still a youngster, and when her family came to Indianapolis in ISI3 she soon struck up acquaintanceships with film and stage stars, many of them through the mails.

Hr interest in the show business was natural enough since her mother. Gertrude Veen Soeurt, was once a well-known opera singer in France. For almost 15 years. Miss Soeurt has actually "worked’ at her hobby of writing to theatrical luminaries and ga'hering information concerning their activities. Her home contains a large filing cabinet crammed with alphabetically arranged material on nearly all movie players of any importance. an* \ MONG other things, she has the personal addresses of more than 300 stars, biographies, most of them written personally by the filmsters themselves, autographed photos galore, and many small mementos sent her by her favorites in pictures. Ruth Roland, one of Miss Soeurt's "dearest friends." has sent her a necklace which she wore in making several serial pictures in Hollywood. Others who interest Miss Souert more seriously include Maurice Chevalier, Mvrna Loy. Dolores Del V o, Doris Kenyon. Milton Sills, Lina Basquette. Andre Beranger, Basil Rathbone and Bert Lvtell. Her field compilations include cast listing of all pictures made, physical measurements of many stars and clippings from American and European magazines and newspapers concerning plays, pictures and -oncerts. Five large autograph aioums have been filled with signatures of her hobby-ites. nan MISS SOEURT'S most recent "triumph" is an autographed photo and a personally written biography from Helen Hayes. She received this from Miss Hayes here last week when

even theater employes were barred from going backstage. Although she says she has no particular favorites among the contemporary film players, Miss Soeurt's first choice for actresses goes to Myrna Loy and her secret passion among the males is William Collier Jr., who is not in pictures now.

WAR WILL LEAD TO COMMUNISM, SPEAKERWARNS Economic Revolt Would Follow European Conflict, Professor Says. Another war in Europe can mean only one thing—economic revolt and Communism, Andrew Cordier, history department dean at Manchester College, said at the Indianapolis Bar Association meeting last night at the Columbia Club. Prof. Cordier explained that a European war could not last long because of the poor financial condition of European nations. The only way in which Hitler can keep his promise of economic security is through foreign relations, he stated. Unless the United States develops a militant middle-class within the next 10 or 15 years this country may
