GOVERNOR IRKED •BY REPORTS OF F. 0. R.'S FEARS Story President Is Afraid of Extra Session Here Termed ‘Fiction.’ BY JAMES DOSS Any suggestion that he does not enjoy the political confidence of President Roosevelt and other national Administration leaders is exceedingly irritating to Gov. McNutt. He dismisses as “mere fiction” a atory given wide circulation this week that the President and his •advisers are afraid of the consequences of a special session of the Legislature before the state convention in June, and would welcome the session’s postponement until the party’s candidate for Governor has been chosen. It was suggested to the Governor this week that there is a record of a telephone call from Washington to an Indiana Federal official, asking for advice on the possible results of a special session. A telegraphed answer to the call is supposed to have been made. Asked yesterday if he felt the President was dubious about the state being in the Roosevelt column this fall, Gov. McNutt returned an emphatic "no.” He also intimated that he alone is the source of information as to when or whether a special session is to be called, inasmuch as the authority to summon the General Assembly is vested in the Governor. He repeated that stories containing the insinuation that Washington is trying to interfere with his nanaling of the situation are "mere fiction." \a a a The first state convention of Voting Democrats, being held here today and tomorrow, is being watched closely by observers and leaders of all factions to see if there is any indication of a swing toward any of the three candidates for Governor—Pleas E. Greenlee, E. Kirk McKinney and Lieut. Gov. M. Clifford Townsend. Alvin Johnson, a deputy attorney general, who has acted as state organizer. is a strong contender for the honor of being the first president. His election might be construed as a victory for Mr. Greenlee, inasmuch as he was one of those i Statehouse employes who braved Ithe possible displeasure of the Governor and attended Mr. Greenlee’s loming out party recently at Shelbyville. Mr. Johnson even spoke briefly, and is known to have been a Greenlee supporter before the former patronage secretary was separated from the state pay roll. Ben Stern, secretary to Senator Frederick VanNuys and one of the senior Senator’s closest political advisors, is reported likely to come from Washington for the convention. His prospective visit is being construed by some to mean an attempt to block the election of such a known Greenlee adherent as Mr. Johnson. Supporters of the candidacy of Lieut. Gov. Townsend are openly “not fearing” Mr. McKinney. Some Townsend followers are predicting that the former Home Owners Loan Corp. head won’t be able to muster more than 425 delegates for the first convention ballot. They are more respectful, however, in considering the Greenlee opposition, because they are afraid he still lias the hold on the organization he held when he was the Governor's secretary. nun The reason ihe joint legislative committee on social security dropped the proposed gross income taxamendments like a hot brick, is the fear that attempt** to enact them would draw out the special session too long. “The big wholesalers whose taxes would be increased would send a powerful lobby over to the Statehouse to fight such a broadening of the paying base, and we won't have time to battle the problem out in a short special session,” was the way one administration spokesman put it. The difficulty about the amendment is said to be the taxation of wholesalers now paying the onefourth of 1 per cent levy on what really are retail sales and should be taxed at 1 per cent. "It is the big fellow and not the little wholesaler who is flouting the gross income tax law,” said one legislator. "The big operators go into court and get an injunction. They get the use of the money and they have the hope of eventually beating the law. The interest on a lot of with-

2 STATE LABOR HEARINGS SET National Board Announces Dates for Kokomo, Evansville Cases. Times Special WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.-Two Indianapolis regional hearing dates were announced today by the National Labor Relations Board. On March 4, Director Robert H. Cowdrill is to go to Evansville to hear complaints against Keck-Gon-nerman Cos., Inc., Mount Vernon farm implement manufacturers. * The complaint alleges that the company, after a shutdown Dec. 21, 1935, did not call back to work 12 employes because they applied for membership and assisted in the formation of a Federal Labor Union. Charges were filed by Fred Davis and Malin Head. The hearing is to be at the Evansville postoffice. Next day Mr. Cowdrill will hear a complaint against the Kokomo Sanitary Pottery Corp. and F. A. Welsh Cos. of Kokomo at the Indianapolis Federal Building. Failure to bargain collectively with the National Brotherhood of Operative Potters, Local 26, forms the basis of the complaint. CARRIER EXAMS OPEN TO RESIDENTS OF CITY Applicants for Rural Positions Must Live Here. Examinations for rural mail carriers which close March 8 are open only to residents of Indianapolis, according to the Civil Service Board of Examiners. The ruling says that applicants must have received their mail through the Indianapolis postoffice for six months preceding the date of examination. PACKERS GUARD HEALTH City Firms Live Up to Standards, According to Inspector. City packing companies lived up to proper public health standards during 1935, J. H. Young, chief meat inspector of the Health Board, reported today. He said 43.679 cattle, 14,133 calves. 6756 sheep and 103,705 hogs were inspected last year. Os this number, 1350 hogs and 4554 pork cuts. 2403 cattle and 308 beef cuts and 324 sheep, were condemned. held taxes is likely to be enough to pr:' the cost of litigation.” Several members of the committee also believed that the tax revision, although intended to bear part of the social security burden, is not proper subject matter for a session called for the sole ostensible purpose of social security. Its consideration also might let down the bars to introduction of other legislation, it was pointed out. Herein is said to be the chief fear of the Governor and his advisers as to their ability to control the Legislature. They are afraid particularly of the $1 and $1.50 tax limitation group.
