Republicans to Share in Excise Jobs, Says McNutt, Refuting Greenlee Stand

Denies Matt Leach Has Been Chosen to Head Liguor Police. Gov. Paul V. McNutt today denied that Caps. Matt Leach of the state policp would be made chief of the new liquor enforcement police and at the same time indicated that he does not see eye to eye with his executive secretary. Pleas Greenlee. on the excise patronage. The Governor said "there is no intention whatever of transferring Capt. Leach" and asserted that the excise police head has not yet been decided upon. He will be a man with police experience, however, the Governor said. The revelation that his and Mr. Greenlee’s ideas on the excise patronage do not coincide came when the Governor was asked if the excise police would be composed entirely of Democrats. Greenlee View Recalled “Absolutely not,’’ he declared, "there will be Republicans on it.’’ He did not say that the force would he bipartisan, but asserted Republicans should be given consideration because of the difficulty involved in enforcing the law. Mr. Greenlee, however, declared Monday the excise police appointments would be confined to the Democratic party. “Os course, there arp somp good Rppublicans,” Mr. Greenlee admitted. but he pointed out that, the Democratic party is charged with responsibility for the new liquor law and that the jobs consequently should go to Democrats. 4 Thp Governor was not asked to explain the divergence between his views and those of his patronage chief. Merit l Be Goal Character as well as general ability and experience will be stressed in appointments to the excise police force, the Governor said, and appointments will be made as soon as applications are dwckeei* by j|>vrf*4> gators for the Alcoholic Beveragps Commission, which, incidentally, is bipartisan. Reaffirming his belief that the commission, comprised of Henry Quigley and David Myers. Republicans. and Russell Ryan and Paul FYy. Democrats, is as good as could have been chosen, the Governor said he would see that it is given every facility in enforcing the liquor law and that "it is going to be enforced.” He hasn't "run out of noes.” he said w’hen informed that a Lake County delegation is scheduled to call on him today and protest against the Sunday closing law as it affects that border county. Special Rules Impossible “The liquor commission can not make special rules for any community on that score." he asserted, pointing out that the law is clear and that the only recourse is legislative amendment at the next opportunity. if experience indicates it necessary. In stressing his intention of providing the liquor commission with all enforcement facilities, the Governor said the starting excise force probably will be composed of 20 to 25 investigators. "More will be added from time to time, if an increased force is necessary to enforce the law," he said. The question of whether the excise iorce will be uniformed has not yet been discussed, he added. Asked if the excise policemen would be used as "snoopers." the Governor declared: "They'll have to get evidence of law violations." It was suggested to him that in view of the provision in the law against serving “setups," it might be necessary to resort to looking for hip flasks as in prohibition days. “It might,” he said.

WHEAT BOOMED BY OUST STORM Western Kansas Farmers Give Up All Hopes of Getting Crop. By I viJrri Pres* GADREN CITY. Kas., April 10. —Western Kansas farmers today gave up hopes of a wheat crop. Anew dust storm, denser and more destructive than the dozens which already have sw’ept their fields, tugged at what vegetation remained and threatened io leave ally barren. The storm extended over western Oklahoma and the Texas Panhandle. Here, farmers were unable to get into their fields because of the dust which made breathing painful, endangering their health and stalled their tractors. “Wheat prospects in Finney County and in that part of the state south and west of Garden City are absolutely zero.” said L- M. Sloan, farm bureau agent. “Even if rain should come now. the harvest would be only one-half of l per cent of normal.”

Myron M. Hughel. president, declared that creditors of the company will "iose very little if anything.” A. R.

England to Ask Substitute Agreement, Cabinet Decides. U. S. IS GIVEN OUTLINE American Envoy Confers With Sir John Simon at London. (CoDvright. 1935. by United Pre&M LONDON, April 10.—Reports that Fiance and Russia were about to enter a virtual military alliance brought a last-minute .change in British plans for the Stresa conference, it was understood today. The cabinet held an extraordinary meeting just before the British delegation, headed by Ramsay MacDonald. prime minister, and Sir John Simon, foreign secretary, left for Stresa. It was indicated, as a result of the alliance report, that the British at Stresa would try to switch France toward either merging its Russian agreement into a broader European security system or surrounding it with other treaties to which Ger- j many could adhere. Bingham, Sir John Confer Such a substitute would be based —as is the reported French-Russian agreement—on the penalty clauses of the League of Nations covenant. Just before the cabinet meeting, Sir John, in a long talk with American Ambassador Robert W. Bingham, outlined the European situation for the benefit of President Roosevelt. Sir John told Mr. Bingham that Britain would engage in no new commitments at Stresa. The meeting, he said, would be an explanatory one. The British delegation, he said, was going with an open mind to make the best of a situation whose gravity no one tried to conceal. He said he would inform Mr. Bingam of the results of the Stresa conference and the League Council meeting at. Geneva as soon as he returned to London. Hope for Big Conference American quarters said Mr. Bingham made no suggestions to Sir John, but just listened, inasmuch as ihe United States is not, concerned, h j* is ;)a’J4-ally interested a mat .er bearing on peace. ’ It was believed that at Stresa the British would support any proposal to strengthen proposed agreements within the League structure by more precisely defining what constitutes an aggressor nation and thus making it more feasible for nations legally to act against an aggressor under their special agreements. Hope continued that the Stresa conference would lead to a big conference which Germany wmuld attend. Nazis Improve Defense iCopvrieht. 193 R, bv United Preset BERLIN, April 10. —A law permitting establishment of special del sense areas throughout the country for Germany’s new, big army was made public today while allied j statesmen were leaving for the | Stresa conference.

Profit System Lauded as Necessary to New Deal by Roper in C. of C. Talk

America on Threshold of Great Upturn, Cabinet Officer Says. Retention of the profit motive was advocated by Daniel C. Roper, Secretary of Commerce, in an address i delivered this afternoon at the luncheon meeting of the Indianap- | olis Chamber of Commerce in the j Clavpool. Unless business prospers such earnings must fall, he said, and hence, successful business is the keystone in the arch of our national welfare. “We are for business profits,” he declared. Addressing himself to the business men of Indiana he pointed out that j if they are “up and doing” we shall | move forward to higher ground than j ever yet attained in this state or in : the United States. “When we realize,” Mr. Roper said, “that only a few years ago our national income was in the j , neighborhood of 90 billion dollars a ! year and that at the bottom of the depression period it had dropped to ; 40 billions, we see something of the opportunity before us to rebuild America. Time to Go Forward “Business leaders and other dose students of trade. conditions throughout the country are decidedly of the opinion that the clock is striking for a forward movement j and that with only a slight change; for the better in public attitude, in confidence and courage, a part of the lost 50 billions in annual domestic trade can be restored in a com- j paratlveiy short time. “I hope it is already known that the Department of Commerce is seeking every passible means of be- | Jng business. This de-; partihent is charged under its or-; ganic law with the responsibility of ] fostering and encouraging business.| To that end. all of the facilities of the department are dedicated. “Business men will find the doors of the department always open to them and their visits cordially received.” Defends Little Fellow Mr. Roper also put in a kindly word for the “little fellow,” declaring that conditions in small business ! units must be recognized and so adI .iusted that restrictions which might | be necessary for large scale endeavors will not impose handicaps on the < small operators. In a press conference prior to his address. Mr. Roper elaborated on his view’ that business profits must be retained. i In this era of huge governmental necessities, he said, a large part of i the funds to meet budgets must come from the channels of business and. consequently, business corporations must have profits which can be taxed. Therefore, he added, the entire system of government with lajge budgets must be founded on profits. Favors Count of Idle The Secretary declared that he is going to suggest to the Public Works Administration that a census be undertaken to determine the actual number of unemployed and i “unemployables.” By “unempiovables” is meant those persons who for reasons of age. physical inability and mental inability, are permanently idle. He intimated that such a system of classification w’ould have the result of whittling down the number of unemployed now carried on the rolls. Mr. Roper also pointed out that he is giving serious consideration to the launching of a survey to determine distribution costs of the many articles w’hich enter into the living costs of the nation.

NAZIS BEHEAD POLITICAL FOES Battle Ax Falls on Two Convicted in Slaying of Horst Wessel. B}l United Pres* BERLIN. April 10. —’The medieval battle ax of. Nazi Germany descended in vengeance today on the necks of two men accused of complicity in the murder of Horst Wessel. national hero. The men, Salli Epstein, a Jew, and Hans Ziegler were executed in the gray dawn in the courtyard of Ploetzensee Prison, where a few weeks ago two beautiful women, Baroness Benita Von Berg and Frau Renate Natmer, were similarly beheaded for espionage. The two men were accused of being “lookouts" at the murder of Wessel. whom the Nazis said was killed by communists. He has since been made a martyr and the “Horst Wessel Song” which he composed is the Nazi anthem. The execution was in a drab, undramatic setting. The press was excluded and only a few prison officials. bound to secrecy, were in the secluded courtyard. HANRAHAN ls~~ FREED IN LIQUOR TEST CASE Charges Are Dismissed by Karabeli in Municipal Court. Liquor charges against Michael J. Hanrahan were dismissed today by Municipal Judge, Charles J. karabeli. Mr. Hanrahan. who operates the Penn-Hoff Grill, was arrested July 14, last year, and charged with selling liquor by the drink. There wpre six continuances of the case. Today his attorney, John Royce, pleaded that the law under which he was arrested and charged has been supplanted by another that legalizes sales of liquor by the drink. PEACE ENCYCLICAL IS ABANDONED BY POPE Document Not Necessary at This Time. Is Attitude. By United Pres* VATICAN CITY, April 10—Pope Pius has abandoned the idea of issuing an encyclical on world peace for the time being, at least it was semi-offlcially announced today. The Pope feels that after his allocution to the consistory on April 1, in which he fervently pleaded with peoples and governments to maintain peace, anew document is not necessary at present.

for elections among the workers. The company immediately asked for a court review of the order which is authorized by the law setting up the labor board. Meanwhile, she said, the Firestone Cos. has been charged with promoting its company representation plan and asked by the labor board to cease this activity. The company again has resisted in court. •‘The workmen have come to the conclusion the law of the land is not going to be obeyed,” Miss Perkins said, ‘and they have decided to use economic means rather than the law to secure tbejr rights.’’ '

HOME EDITION rKICE THREE CENTS

Meanwhile, the chief executive insisted that the administration of the program would he carried out as far as possible by existing government agencies. The greater part of the work, he said, would be handled by such organizations, pointing out that they all have been studying the plans and requests for allocations for a long time. Mr. Roosevelt also added, however. that additional administrative machinery would be required to unify the program. Meanwhile, the President moved swiftly to put into motion plans for expansion of the CCC camps. He called in as his first visitor of the day, Robert Fechner, CCC administrator, to discuss enlargement of camp facilities to accommodate the 300,000 more men who will be enrolled, bringing the CCC strength up to 600.000 For civilian conservation work, $600,000,000 has been authorized but this might be increased, it was indicated, because the program will call for the work to continue until July, 1936. Preliminary Work Needed The President offered the conference with Fechner as an illustration of the preliminary work that is necessary before the program can finally be swung fully into action. In answer to questions, Mr Roosevelt said there probably would be boards or commissions to tie in the work, although he added that no co-ordinator was being considered. In this connection, he said that the co-ordination already was going ahead nicely through the various governmental agencies. In a discussion of the broad phases of the works-relief program, he said that every effort would be made not to move men far from their homes as this would necessitate a housing program of itself. The first question in connection with a decentralized program, he explained, was to take an area for example and say how many unemployed were in it. The area would be confined on a rough scale to permit daily bus travel for unemployed of about 30 miles each way. Hopes to Cut Fund The President said he hoped the entire fund would not have to be used. Mr. Roosevelt revealed that considerable attention was being given to what is admitted to be the difficult problem of the white collar worker. He said the situation was a serious one and considerable study was being given it in order that a place could be found for such people now on the relief rolls. The works program will be discussed with all the Cabinet members, the President revealed. There also was the possibility, he indicated, of regional boards being set up to help speed the work. The regional boards would apply, observers believed, to such big projects as rivers and flood control such as is now being done in the Mississippi Valley.
