Penner Known as 'Duck Man' Can’t Lose Title, Though He Abandons Query. Times Special HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 28.—Joe Penner, screen and radio comedian, hasn’t used his “Wanna buy a duck?” line for a year, but lie’s still the “duck man” to everybody in Hollywood. When Joe arrived in the film city to make “Collegiate,” which is to be shown at the Indiana Tuesday, he was completely duckless. He found it wasn't so easy to lose the sobriquet with which he first gained fame, however, and he is resigned to his fate. “Mary Pickford is still America’s sweetheart,” he said, “and Clara Bow is still the 'lt girl.’ so I guess I'll go on being the ‘duck man’ forever.” Aspirants to Opera Will Sing Over WIRE Opera auditions at the Metropolitan, traditionally secret affairs, are being thrown open to the public in a series of 13 Sunday broadcasts, the second of which may be heard through WIRE at 2:30 tomorrow. The series is to bring before the microphone 36 of America’s most talented young singers. They are to be heard in the “hit tunes” of favorite operas, accompanied by the regular Metropolitan orchestra under the direction of Wilfred Pelletier.

Live better and feel better by using it Dishes prepared with Pasteurized Fresh Milk have finer flavor and are better for you. Adults need milk, Did You Know This? nearly as much as do growing children. It is the almost perfect food: containing needed minerals, vitamins, Indianapolis milk is U°/ 0 richer proteins, fats and sugars that safeguard health. than the standard in most cities.

SUPREME COURT RULES AGAINST GAS REDUCTIONS ‘Due Process’ Clause Will Cause Oklahoma Users to Pay Old Rate. BY HERBERT LITTLE Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Dec. 28—In the face of the Johnson Art forbidding Federal courts to interfere in state utility rate cases, ihe Supreme Court has struck down the Oklahoma Corporation Commission’s order for a reduction of gas rates in the cities and towns served by the Consolidated Gas Service Cos. The court's action under the famous “due process” clause means that consumers will continue to pay 25 cents a thousand cubic feet instead of the 18-cent rate ordered by the commission. The loophole in the Federal law, sponsored by Senator Hiram Johnson, California Progressive Republican, and passed in 1934, is this: The Supreme Court holds that the laws and Constitution of Oklahoma do not provide an “adequate legal remedy” for firms which are dissatisfied with utility orders of the state commission. A review process is provided by law, but the Federal District Court, upheld by the Supreme Court, finds that this review is “legislative” in character. Lawyers said today that the precedent is not applicable to other states, because each state has a different setup for review of state utility commission orders in state courts. But they added that 'in cases similar to Oklahoma's, or where no specific review is provided, the Federal courts under the decision can step in and halt commission orders in utility rate cases. The constitutionality of the Johnson Act restricting Federal court injunctions in such cases was not raised in this case, the Federal courts involved and the gas company apparently conceding the right of Congress to restrict the Federal courts’ power in the manner specified. The invoking of the “due process”

clause of the Fourteenth amend- i ment was done under the clause of • the Johnson Act itself which makes ifs injunction prohibition applicable only in cases where interstate com- I merce is not affected, where “reasonable notice and hearing” has j been given, and where “a plain. j speedy and efficient remedy may be had at law or in equity in the courts of such state." CONTRACTS ARE LET ON COUNTY SUPPLIES ; Proposals Are Accepted on Part-Year Basis. Contracts are held today by various dealers to provide coal and other supplies for county institutions. County commissioners yesterday awarded an institution coal contract to the Penn Coal Cos. on a bid of $17.28. Next lowest bidder was the Mid-West Fuel Cos., at $17.48. Coal was bought for a 30-day period only, pending a United States Supreme Court decision on the Guffey Coal Act. Other successful bidders for the first three months of 1936 follow; Bread, South Side Baking Cos.; clothing and dry goods, Efroymson & Wolf; coffee. Hoosier Coffee Cos.; disinfectants and janitor supplies, A. G. Maas Cos.; butter, eggs and meat, Conrad Vogel; drugs. KieferStewart Cos.; flour, meal and feed, Habig Bros.; groceries. M. O.

OVERCROWDING AT POOR FARM IS POINTED OUT State Report Recommends Building of Residence For Superintendent. Charges that overcrowding is a serious problem and recommendation that a superintendent's residence should be built at the Marion County Poor Farm are contained in a report on file today in the County Commissioners’ office. The report was made by F. R. Farnam of the State Department of Public Welfare. Recognizing the problems that arise in handling a large number of persons in an institution, the report says; “An outstanding need exists for

more housing space, especially for male inmates. It will repay your board to investigate the matter of the remodeling what is known as the old west wing.” The report urges that a superin- . tendent's residence is a necessarv/ unit that should be built, as su.u able quarters now are not provided. Other recommendations include an increase in acreage to supply greater amounts of meat and dairy products and “an intensive and extensive growing of a sufficient quantity of garden vegetables and small fruits.” The report commends the institution for the care and medical attention given the sick with the limited facilities available. It says that with new equipment recently installed more attention is given to quality, quantity and preparation of food.
