FEENEY DEFIES MILK BOARD'S OUSTERORDER Public Hearing Asked by Former Head of State Police Force. (Continued From Pare One) x

before the state board and the state board has refused to act. Mr. Feeney says he is required by the milk law to return this money to the producers. Mr. Feeney says, moreover, that he. as secretary and treasurer of the advertising committee of the local milk committee, has refused to pay nearly S2OOO in bills contracted for by the committee when he claims it was not in legal session inasmuch as he, as secretary-treasurer, was not notified and was not present. Says Law Requires Record Vote The bills are for advertising and while Mr. Feeney says he has no doubt that it was good institutional advertising, that the law requires votes on such expenditures to be recorded in the committee minutes. Mr. Feeney also says that he has on file in his office a letter signed by Mr. Hedges, a producers’ representative, giving to a distributor his proxy for a meeting of the advertising committee which spends farmers’ money. In addttion, Mr. Feeney charges that when the milk control law went into effect, he received from both Mr. Littleton and Ralph Poulton, Indianapolis Dairymen’s Co-Opera-tive, both representing producers and charging them 3 and 3Vj cents a hundredweight to check their milk at distributing plants, written offers to check all milk in the area on a contract basis for less than 2 cents a hundredweight. One offer was as ios as 1 cent, Mr. Feeney said. Thinks Charge Excessive As an evidence that milk could be checked for as little as 1 cent a hundredweight, Mr. Feeeny said he had preser ted a written proposal to the state hoard that the board itself take over all milk checknig and do it for 1 cent a hundredweight. In additioi to merely weighing the milk, Mr. Feeney says he was going to propose that for this 1 cent fee, the state establish a laboratory and make daily bacteria counts and sediment tests, which now are made only by the city. Mr. Feeney said he regards as another impirtant factor in his dismissal his opposition to o new schedule of milk payments which he says is distinctly prejudiced against the producer and which, he says, deprived the farmers of more than S4OOO in 15 days. Board Meets In Secret The State Milk Board repeatedly has held session and excluded the press. When it was suggested to C. W. Humrickhouse. board secretary, that public policy best would be served by having the board metings and their price discussions given complete publicity, the board adopted a- polic yof holding executive sessions which wore closed to press and public. Yesterday a milk board attache of the State Board told a reporter that the board has no public records. Pressed on this point, he said that the Legislature mandated the board to have no public records. Later he said Mr. Humrickhouse was nbt there and that no records could be given out by anyone but Mr. Humrickhouse.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

BY JOHN MARTIN Times Special Writer GREENCASTLE, Ind., Jan. 18. — Paul Turner—a quiet, retiring, 26-year-old senior in De Pauw Uni-versity-today spoke reluctantly of himself and enthusiastically of his plan for a co-operative medical association at Economy, Ind., his home town. He will tell you how members of the association will pay $1.30 \ month for complete medical service, how this will guarantee the doctor S3OOO a year. He will describe his plan in detail and present arguments for it. But it is hard to get him to talk about himself. “I don’t care so much about getting myself publicised,” he said, “I want the idea spread.” Turner is majoring in economics at De Pauw, and has been married for a year and a half. Dean Louis H. Dirks described him as having ‘‘a very fine scholastic record and an excellent chance to make Phi Beta Kappa.” He is now employed by the National Youth Administration and is Student Senator from the Independent Association, an organization of nonpaternity men representing the university dormitories. He lives with his wife in a private home in Greencsatle while both go to school. During vacations, they go either to the farm home of his parents near Economy, in Wayne County, or to Goshen, home of his wife. Mrs. Turner is a junior at De Pauw. tt a TURNER’S special ' course of study has been in the field of the co-operation movement in the economics department. He first became interested in tne medical problem three years ago when he was assigned, quite by chance, to prepare a debate on the question of state medicine. But he didn’t really get started on the co-operative plan for his home town until the fall of 1934. His investigations have led him to sum up the problem this way: ‘‘People in rural communities — and in cities, too, for that matter—are not able to afford proper medical care. Consequently they go without it. The fact they do go without it deprives the doctor of a living, and then the doctor can’t stay in the town. When he’s gone, people have to send 10 or 15 miles for a doctor, or go without.” While there are plenty of doctors and hospitals for every one, Turner says, ‘‘the way medical practice is carried on now most of the people don’t get even approximately adequate care nor do the doctors get enough to justify their investment in training and equipment. I think this is the solution to the problem of maladjustment in medicine, although it may not be the final solution,” he said. nun HE told the story of the development of his idea—the difficulties which he and the Rev. W. J. Briggs, pastor of the Methodist Church at Economy, encountered. They worked for two yeears on the plan. John Manning, cashier of the Economy Bank, and Dr. J. R. King, brother of Dr. William F. King, former State Health Board secretary, aided the organizers. Progress was slow—one time they called a public meeting and six citizens attended. They discovered personal contact was more effective than meetings. Finally, results were achieved, final plans were drawn over the Christmas holidays and—“nothing can stop it now.” The plans of Turner and his wife after his graduation in June are “very indefinite” as yet. He wants to go into the field of organizing co-operatives, because, he says, “a person can be of a great deal of service. There is need of leadership in that field.” Newcomb to Address Rotary Charles Milton Newcomb, Delaware (O.) humorous lecturer, is to speak on “How to Be Happy Though Educated” at the Rotary Club luncheon Tuesday afternoon at the Claypool.

CLAIM WILENTZ IN ANGRY MOOD OVERREPRIEVE Reports Hint Prosecutor Is Preparing Attack on Hoffman. (Continued From Page One)

a complete solution or a confession. Hoffman’s chief goal was tc discover whether persons other than Hauptmann were involved. It was understood that he had ordered new search for suspects, espcially the mysterious man known as “John” who spoke with a "Scandinavian” accent during the ransom 'negotiations and was identified as Hauptmann. Faulkner Interest Revived The new investigation was expected to center first along three lines which may require so much time that, according to one source, additional reprieves will be granted, assuring Hauptman life until summer. 1. An effort to prove that John was an accomplice of the kidnaper. When Dr. J. F. (Jafsie) Condon and Col. Charles A. Lindbergh paid the ransom money, Dr. Condon talked to John. col. Lindbergh saw a man outside the cemetery rendezvous who appeared to be a lookout and who dropped a handkerchief on the street. Whether this man was the same one who took the ransom money or an aide or a mere bystander has remained in doubt. 2. Anew check on the mysterious J. J. Faulkner, who turned in a large amount of gold notes at a New York bank which, on the same day, discovered a batch of ransom money in its tills. The amount of ransom money was within $lO of the amount Faulkner turned in, but there has never been conclusive proof that he handed in the notes. The name apparently was a fake. Parker Continues Probe 3. A recheck on the stories of several witnesses, possibly including Jafsie to clear up several reported contradictions or discrepancies. In addition, Ellis Parker, the country detective of Mount Holly, N. J., continued his investigation. He said that he had not seen or talked to the Governor for 10 days but that his interest continued and that he was available at any moment Gov. Hoffman wants him. Speculation centered on the possibility that the new investigation, opened on such a comprehensive scale, might lead to further reprieves for Hauptmann. Sources close to the Governor hinted at more reprieves. In all, the Governor may grant 90 days delay, whereafter at least four more weeks must intervene before execution. At any moment upto the time of execution, new evidence produced by defense counsel could lead to court action to delay the death sentence. Life Term Possibility The betting odds were 10,000 to 1 that no conclusive new evidence would be found, but it has been suggested to the Governor that, if his inquiry creates a doubt as to solution of the case, Hauptmann’s sentence might be commuted to life imprisonment. The Board of Pardons would have to be convinced that there still was hope that the future would produce new developments. Mr. Wilentz’ statement, if it is issued, will break the unofficial truce which has held back his criticism of the Governor except for a brief assertion that the reprieve was illegal because it was not issued within 90 days after sentence. It is known that Mr. Wilentz considers the Governor’s purported new evidence to be worthless. Perhaps 200 documents and letters purporting to throw new light on the case are on Gov. Hoffman’s desk and many others which were considered not worthy of investigation have been thrown away. The attorney general however, scoffs at this “evidence.” He does not, for instance, believe that Gov. Hoffman will gain any new infor-

DE PAUW GETS $35,374 FROM DENVER ESTATE Graduate Leaves Amount to His University’s Fund. Times Special GREENCASTLE, Ind., Jan. 18.— Check for $35,374.79, representing the bulk of a bequest of the late Elmer C. Whitted, Denver attorney, was added to De Pauw University's endowment today. A former Martinsville youth, Mr. Whitted was graduated from De Pauw and later married Miss Anna Martain, daughter of a former De Pauw president. He went to Denver in 1890 to practice law, and died there several months ago. mation from Dr. Condon, and yesterday he wirelessed the gray-haired Bronx school tacher that it would not be necesssary for him to cut short his cruise to Panama to return here. Gov. Hoffman’s hope that Hauptmann will talk has not been entirely abandoned, although it was believed unlikely that the prisoner, who said his story was unchanged 30 hours before he appeared to face death in the chair, would now offer any new angles. The Governor, it is considered certain, will talk to him again and Hauptmann has expressed a desire for another interview.

WILSON DISPUTE MAY BRING END TO WARINQUIRY Two-Year Senate Probe Is Thought Halted by Bitter Fight. (Continued From Page One)

scheduled to again appear. He said he intended to ask the senate for S7OOO to S9OOO more. Senator James Byrnes (D., S. C.>, told the Senate that in addition to its $125,000 appropriation, that the Munitions Committee had spent $23,000 of the funds of the state and city of New York. Relief Workers Aided Mr. Nye revealed the committee had spent $58,000 to pay relief workers to assist it in compiling records. Majority Leader Joseph T. Robinson, Arkansas, protested the Senate had been “humiliated and disgraced” by the use of funds “intended to feed the hungry.” It was Nye's assertion at a committee hearing—and repeated yesterday in the Senate —that Wilson and his war-time secretary, Robert Lansing, had “falsified” when they testified in 1919 that they knew nothing of secret treaties among the allies until they went to the Paris Peace Conference, that precipitated one of the stormiest and bitterest debates of recent Senate history. Mr. Glass, close friend of Mr. Wilson and his secretary of the treasury, answered Nye in a speech that held the Senate and a packed gallery enthralled for half an hour. Glass Trembles With Anger Trembling with rage and indignation and his voice cracking with anger, the 78-year-old Virginian pounded his desk until blood spurted from his knuckles as he gave Nye such an oral lashing as seldom has been heard in the Senate. “I’ll never vote another dollar to any one or any committee whose members are so insensible to every consideration of decency as to stand on the floor of the Senate and assail two men—two men who today are honored by their country,” Glass roared. He defended Wilson against suggestions of the munitions committee that American bankers influenced his neutrality policy. “Oh, the miserable demagogy, the miserable and mendacious suggestion that the House of Morgan altered the neutrality course of Woodrow Wilson,” he shouted. Connally Continues Fight Senator Tom Conally (D„ Tex.) followed Glass with a renewal of his attack on Nye, North Dakota Republican. He demanded to know how much money Nye had made from lecture tours on which he has “exploited himself as chairman of this committee.” Nye declined to answer, but said
