JUDGE DEFENDS NAMING OF SON AS BOARD HEAD Bartholomew Jurist Says Act Does Not Violate Security Law. (Continued From Page One) He is to take over the director’s duties April 1 at an annual salary of *I3OO. One of Three Considered Convinced the appointment is lawful. Judge Long added that “it was made without the recomemndation of the court,” and that he understood his son's application for the post was one of three considered by the board. Section 31. Article 3, of the act, reads in part: No person who is related to the Judge of the circuit Court appointing the county board or to any member of any county board or to the director of any county department as a husband or wife, father or mother, son or daughter, son-in-law or daughter-in-law, brother or sister, niece or nephew, uncle nr aunt, shall be eligible to any position in such county department,.” This section, the judge maintains, applies only to welfare employes who later will be chosen for office and field work. It docs not, he contend, affect major appointments, such as that of board member or county welfare department director. Explains His Belief The judge further holds that he would have been within his legal right to have named one or more of his relatives to the Welfare Board. “The judge, the board and the director,” he explained, “are put in separate classes so far as that section is concerned. Their selection isn't, governed by those provisions at all.” Members of the old guardians’ body transferred to the new board are Donald DuShane. city school superintendent; Mrs. R. S. Brown, Mrs. Merle S. Reeves. Charles S. Kitzinger and D. M. Bottorff. As welfare director, Mr Long is to serve also as board secretary and all applications for pensions and other relief will pass through his office before reaching the board. Aimed at Marion, He Says Judge Long expressed the belief that the nepotism provisions were aimed at the larger population cenler and cited Marion County as an illustration. “There you will have hundreds of people employed by the welfare office," lie said, "and the provision is meant to keep families and relatives of officials off the pay roll.” DE PAUW ADOPTS NEW STUDENT GOVERNMENT Proposed Constitution Approved by 4-tn-l Vote.

U. S. JURISTS STAND 3-2 FOB LABOR ACT Barnes Verdict Backs Otis Against Wagner Law. By Scripps-Hoicard Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, March 26.—Federal judges’ votes on constitutionality of the Wagner Labor Act stood today: For, three. - Against, two. Judge Barnes’ decision in Chicago this week, holding that "the act caused “unilateral compulsory arbitration.” is in line with the recent decision of Judge Otis in Kansas City, similarly enjoining the National Labor Relations Board from proceeding under the law in an employe-employer dispute. In support of the act are decisions by Judges Martin in Memphis and Rippey in Syracuse squarely upholding the constitutionality of the law, supplemented by the recent decision of Judge Bondy in New York City. Bondy rejected the constitutional attack of John W. Davis in the Associated Press case, basing his decision on the Supreme Courts unanimous ruling in 1930 upholding the Railroad Labor Act.
