APRIL IS, 1936.

ROOSEVELT IS CRITICISED FOR ‘BRAIN TRUST’ Homer Elliott, Aspirant to Congress, Talks at G. 0. P. Meeting. "Whatever the brain trust has done, Roosevelt has done. It is his brain trust, and he must acknowledge its legitimacy and bear the responsibility of its parentage.” This charge was made last night by Homer Elliott, Republican candidate for the congressional nomination from the Twelfth District, at a Republican meeting at Wilkins and Maple-sts. "Roosevelt.” he continued, “can not escape the responsibility for his acts by saying that the bright-eyed boys of the brain trust did them. There is no use for him to evangelize about the ‘more abundant life’ while signing his name to orders, decrees, proclamations and laws which by their very nature arc bound to produce a more ‘abundant’ poverty. Blundering Is Charged “A few broad smiles." Mr. Elliott added, “may cover a few mistakes, but they can not make up for three years of blundering from one indefensible position to another." Mr. Elliott attacked the New Deal for “signing codes to dictate and control business” for “gold confiscation” and negotiating trade treaties for “cheap corn and hogs” while “paying out good money to induce our farmers not to produce them.” “Neither Secretary Ickes nar Harry Hopkins could have thrown away millions of dollars trying to build a dam against the tides of the Atlantic Ocean without Mr. Roosevelt's consent,” he said. Comments on Poll “Mr. Roosevelt not only has gathered these socialistic reformers around him and invested them with authority, but he has adopted their acts as his own. Secretary Wallace could not have paid out to three sugar corporations more than a million dollars each, for not producing sugar, without full approval of Mr. Roosevell,” Mr. Elliott declared. Mr. Eliiott commented on the Literary Digest polls and pointed out how some adherents of the Roosevelt Administration, while conceding that the polls had shown the President as “having fallen in disfavor,” claimed that he would receive a large personal support in the ensuing campaign and should be re-elected. “Such a view does no credit to the good sense of the political integrity of the American people. If they are opposed to the record made by an Administration, why on earth should they support the head of that Administration?” he asked. 5 HOOSIERS ACCUSED IN DEATH OF INFANT Police Quote Unwed Mother as Saying Baby Was Drowned. It;/ United Press AURORA, Ind„ April 18.

Others accused are Mrs. Jennie Sherman. 54, the childs grandmother: Dorothy Sherman, 12 and James Sherman. 14, aunt and uncle of the ba. y, and Mrs. Emma Houze, 27, a neighbor, who denies complicity. CHARGES BREAKDOWN IN U. S. GOVERNMENT Joseph A. Andrew’ Flays New' Deal at Meeting of Clubs. Members of the First and Second Ward Republican Clubs today discussed charges of a breakdown in the American government under the New Deal. The charges were made last night by Joseph A. Andrew, Lafayette state representative and “dark-horse” gubernatorial candidate.” He said in part: “Whether our government shall stand or shall give way to a strongly centralized government, if not an outright dictatorship, must be determined by Republicans in the next election, unless Republicans gain control of the next House of Representatives, membership of the Supreme Court will be increased and then parked to sustain all acts of Congress which will wipe out our constitutional form of government.” JOB INSURANCE FORMS TO BE READY BY MAY 1 Information to Be Available at Auto License Branches. Report forms and information regarding the state unemployment compensation law are to be available by May 1 at the 142 state auto license branches. Clarence A. Jackson, unemployment compensation director, announced today. All employers who, for 20 weeks this or last year, employed more than eight persons are to make their first report by May 20.

WARS LAID TO NEW ‘RELIGION’ Earlham Professor Speaks at Session of International Relations Institute. (Continued From Page One) This has been a large factor in intensifying economic nationalism throughout the world and has deepened the depression, and the depression in turn has given up Hitler on the Rhine and Mussolini in Abyssinia.” In order to secure stronger economic foundations for world peace, Dr. Cox suggested that the institute support the State Department in its work of negotiating reciprocal trade treaties, and of extending to other nations more favorable tariff terms. Suggests Action “We also should educate and agitate for general tariff revision downward. We should move for a final settlement of the war debt at some nominal figure, and the Johnson act for bidding loans to countries in default should be repealed,” Dr. Cox said. He said that dictatorships follow widespread radicalism caused by the fear and hopelessness of the depression. “A dictator, to survive, must not let anything undermine the loyalty of his people, he said. “Thus religion, especially Christianity, demands loyalty also, and is therefore a rival of the dictator.” “We should guard our ancient liberties. Freedom demands tolerance and there are signs of intolerance in America now,” he added. Rev. Hadley said that European dictatorships reached the peak in 1934 and have been declining ever since.

By United Press KOKOMO, Ind., April 18.—A resolution asking that he eliminate the use of liquors from his own home as an example for the nation was forwarded to President Roosevelt today by superintendents of six districts of the North Indiana Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church. “Expel Intoxicating liquor from the White House and thus by personal example seek to promote the best moral safeguards for our citizenship, especially the youth of our nation,” the resolution urged. The resolution charged that the President “solemnly promised the nation that the saloon would not be permitted to return” and that the church now was calling upon him to “use his influence to save us from the deadly effects of the present uncurbed and uncontrolled liquor traffic.” McNutt Also Criticised Gov. McNutt also was criticised, another resolution saying “that the Governor of Indiana should say in a public address that moral conditions in Indiana under the present liquor regime are better than under prohibition is simply preposterous.” Anew organization known as the “Indiana Dry Forces, Inc.,” was given the approval of the superintendents. Other resolutions asked that the North Indiana conference be kept in the jurisdiction of Bishop Edgar Blake, Detroit: that the Temperance Board not be with any other board; and that the Congress of the United States adopt a constitutional amendment forbidding the counting of aliens in census tabulations used for apportionment of representatives in the national Congress.

Beautiful Marchioness Is Hinted as Gang’s Nemesis Guarded Revelations Indicate Italian Noblewoman Played Star Role in Entrapment of Bond Shift Ring. By United Press NEW YORK, April 18.—Guarded revelations by Federal agents and police indicated today that the beautiful Marchioness Pia Ferrari Davico of Ifaly was the instrument through which an international ring of bond thieves has been disrupted and $750,000 worth of stolen securities recovered.

The marchioness, 34, is in hiding in New York in fear of gang vengeance, police said. She still is co-operating with detectives seeking $1,296,000 worth of securities, stolen from Wall Street banking houses in robberies that baffled investigators more than a year. Police said her testimony will be most important in the prosecution of two men held for United States authorities in Paris and a third man, David Frank, whose secret arrest in New York several days ago was revealed last night. Accused of Complicity Frank and the men held in Paris were accused of complicity in a theft of $1,456,000 worth of bonds belonging to the Bank of the Manhattan Cos. Because J. Edgar Hoover, chief of the Federal Justice Department’s Bureau of Investigation, linked that crime with another theft of ssf 0,000 in Treasury notes in 1934, it was assumed that the marchioness also would testify against eight men arrested in connection with it. A Federal agent and a New York detective raced across the Atlantic today for possession of the Paris prisoners. Hoover said one of his men left for Europe yesterday. Detective Henry P. Oswald sails on the S. S. Lafayette for Havre this morning. The men that both policemen wished to question, and if possible bring to America, were Jacob Schwarz, a Czecholovakian, and Bernard Klein, Hungarian. Klein had $440,000 worth of the Bank of Manhattan Co.’s bonds when arrested in Monte Carlo several days ago. Marchioness Tells Story The marchioness told * Assistant District Attorney O. M. Frankel of New York County that she established contact with some of the suspected men on trips to Europe. She said she heard of David Frank, one of the men arrested here, several months ago through Anthony De Pasquale, a since slain former restaurant owner. Later, she said, she met Frank in New York and he gave her a list of serial numbers of securities he wished to sell. She sent the list to an investment broker, who said that the securities had been stolen. He notified the district attorney and the Justice Department. Smuggled to Europe Authorities believe that De Pasquale was the messenger who smuggled the securities to salesmen in Europe. Police Commissioner Lewis J. Valentine revealed that part of the missing loot had been traced to California and that Detective Lieut. Grover C. Brown is on the West Coast now. ALLEGED ROBBER HELD IN COUNTY JAIL HERE State Police Return Suspect After Arrest in Kentucky. Andrew J. Pluto, 26, accused rob-ber-slugger, today was held in county jail on charges of robbery. He was returned here yesterday by Indiana state police from Bowling Green, Ky., where he was arrested Monday. Joseph Gregg, 35, his alleged accomplice, is held in Glasgow, Ky., and is to be returned here soon, police said. Police claim the two were in possession of a SIOO bill stolen from Charles A. Young of 26 N. West-st. Young said two men entered his room March 29, slugged him and stole more than S4OO. KILLS DETECTIVE, SELF Police Search for Fugitive Slayer Ends With Suicide.

DRAFTS BILL TO RAISECITY PAY Kealing Is to Introduce Ordinance at Council Meeting Monday. An ordinance providing for a 10 per cent horizontal salary increase for members of the police, fire, Gamewell and police radio departments is to be introduced at the City Council meeting Monday by Councilman Edward R. Kealing. Republican. The ordinance was filed late yesterday W’ith City Clerk Daniel O’Neill. The ordinance, the third of its kind sponsored by Mr. Kealing. provides that the increases become effective Jan. 1. In the first such ordinance he introduced. Mr. Kealing asked for restoration of the 15 per cent reduction made in 1932. The second sought the restoration of 10 per cent of the reduction, but was amended by Mr. Kealing to reduce the restoration to 7Ms per cent. In the present proposal. Mr. Kealing again is to ask a 10 per cent restoration. He says this corresponds to the increase promised the city’s 600 firemen this week by Mayor Kern. “If members of the administration are sincere in restoring any part of these pay cuts.” Mr. Kealing said today, “they will vote for this ordinance. For about one and one-half years I have made a sincere effort to have the membefs of this administration give consideration to such an ordinance. I am a Republican member of the council and for this reason believe that my efforts have failed. I sincerely believe that this ordinance should not be made a political football by the parties, but that just and proper consideration should be given according to the merits of the ordinance.” The ordinance as prepared by Mr. Kealing would increase the salaries of the four department heads as follows: Police chief. $4560; fire chief. $4560; electrical engineer, Gamewell department, $3420, and licensed operators and service men in the police radio department to $2228. In promising pay increases to the firemen, Mayor Kern said he intends to include other city employes. The Mayor emphasized that he favored a salary adjustment plan that would provide a boost for members of both the police and fire departments amounting to between 7% and 10 per cent. The Mayor also said that a salary survey was being conducted in all departments and that no action qn the proposal will be taken until the data is compiled.
