RAY OPENS UP ON MORRISSEY AND BOETCHER Sheriff Assails Poilce Chief at Meeting in Chairman’s Home Ward. BY ARCH STEINEL The Sixth, home ward of Walter C. Boetcher, Democratic county chairman, today became one of the principal battle-grounds in the May primary fight between organization and “anti-organization" Democratic candidates. Ward workers were confronted with charges and counter-charges as Pleas E. Greenlee, Democratic candidate for Governor, and Sheriff Ray flung “bossism" charges against the county organization headed by Mr. Boetcher. In a meeting last night at 34th and Clifton-sts, Sheriff Ray also added to Mr. Greenlee’s charges of “McHaleism," a charge of “Momsseyism” in Marion County party leadership. “Mike Morrissey is trying to run this city and to be boss of it. You talk about your Coffinism or any other ‘ism’ but I don't know what is worse than ‘Morrisseyism.’ ” the sheriff cried. Greenlee Indorses Ray Shortly before Sheriff Ray’s attack, Mr. Greenlee, after approving the sheriff's candidacy and calling for his re-election, urged support for Miss Hannah Noone, Center Township trustee, for county treasurer. “Frank McKinney, her opponent, is an honorable gentleman, but he is controlled by one man—Frank McHale. Frank McHale will have his finger in that office,” Mr. Greenlee said. He charged “McHale-ism" would spread in county offices if Mr. McKinney were elected. Ray Claims “Bad Faith" Mr. McKinney and Chief Morrissey could not be reached today for comment. Mr. Boetcher denied the charges made at the meeting. Sheriff Ray claimed “bad faith” on the part of County Chairman Boetcher and the Democratic organization in supporting the candidacy of Claude E. Shover, former street commissioner, against him. He asserted a closed meeting was held in the courthouse a few minutes before the final hour for filing. Present, Sheriff Ray said, were Chief Morrissey, Mr. Boetcher, Mr. Shover, and Dr. Frank E. Dowd, Eleventh ward chairman, and they over-rode the vote of 31 ward chairmen who favored Sheriff Ray’s candidacy without opposition. Boetcher Issues Denial Sheriff Ray accused the organization of using a “patronage whip” to line up precinct committeemen. Today Mr. Boetcher denied he attended a meeting with Chief Morrissey and Dr. Dowd. Sheriff Ray charged he had been approached by several party leaders and asked if he would “stay out of Indianapolis in enforcing the law\ if elected.” “I told them my policy would be as it always has been, to enforce the law and uphold my oath of office regardless of where it was,” the sheriff said. Other anti-organization candidates attending last night's meeting were Herbert Bloemker, county surveyor; Dow W. Vorhies, county commissioner; Dr. John W. Wyttenbach, candidate lor county coroner, and Miss Noone. An estimated 350 attended the meeting. Municipal Judge Wilfred Bradshaw presided.

‘JUST THE THING FOR ME,’ SAYS YOUNG VISITOR AT HOME SHOW

PASTOR OPENS PEACESESSION Indiana Central College and Butler U. Sponsor Institute. The first meeting of the Indianapolis Institute of International Relations, devoted to the movement for world peace, opened at 10 this morning at the Y. W. C. A. with an address by the Rev. Milton Hadley, pastor of the Indiana Avenue Friends’ Church, Chicago. The meeting is one of several oneday sessions being held in Indiana, Illinois and Ohio under the auspices of the Friends Service Committee in co-operation with the Congregational Council for Social Action. Indiana Central College and Butler University are the sponsors of the Indianapolis Institute. Leaders hope to make the meeting an annual affair. Discusses Church Participation Rev. Hadley discussed church participation in the movement for world peace. 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 loya’ty 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. Others who are to speak today include Dr. Garfield V. Cox, University of Chicago finance professor and Dr. Warder Clyde Allee, biology department, University of Chicago.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

MINTON FAVORS RITTERVERDICT 'Wholesome’ Effect on Bench Predicted by Junior State Senator. BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, April 18.—Senator Sherman Minton <D„ Ind.), who helped to convict Federal Judge Ritter by voting “guitly” on the final impeachment count of “misbehavior,” said today he thought the effect on the bench would be “wholesome.” The jutting-jawed “freshman” Senator made the galleries gasp when he barked out “guitly” on the seventh charge in as forceful a manner as he had reported “not guilty” on the preceding six. That vote gave the necessary two-thirds for conviction, 56 to 28. It was the first time in history that a judge had been convicted by the Senate on charges of “general misbehavior” that brought his court “into scandal and disrepute.” Calls Verdict “Just” “I? the Senate has the power to impeach v,n general misbehavior charges,” Senatcr Minton said, “the Ritter verdict certainly is just. However, I could net support any of the six specific charges against him on the evidence before us.” “While I think the specific crimes were not proved, the judge’s conduct in the various instances was such that he should be removed from the bench,” Senator Minton continued. “Because of these things one could not enter his court with confidence. “There is a somewhat general tendency for Federal judges to get too cocky. Judge Ritter went beyond all bounds.” Critic of Supreme Court Senator Minton has been a leader in criticism of the Supreme Court’s divided opinions on the New Deal. An ardent supporter of President Roosevelt, he admits he would like a Federal judgship. Apprised of House talk that Rep. Robert A. Green (D., Fla.), who pioneered in the Ritter impeachment, was being talked of for the vacancy caused by Judge Ritter’s removal, Senator Mintno said: “I’m against that. There has been no politics in this case and so far as I am concerned there never will be in such matters.” SLIM CLEWS FOLLOWED IN BATH TUB SLAYING Cord Used by Strangler Made in York, Pa., Police Find. By United Press NEW YORK. April 18.—Police followed slender clews today in their efforts to solve the slaying of Nancy Evans Titterton, author and wife of an executive of the National Bioadcasting Cos. Chief lead was the identification of a length of cord, which the slayer apparently used to bind Mrs. Titterton’s wrists, as the product of the Hanover Cordage Cos.. York, Pa. The company provided police with a list of its New York distributors, but since it sells huge quantities of cord through many ouriets, the lead did not look promising. Laboratory analysis of all articles found in the Titterton's Betkman Place apartment after Mrs. Titterton's body was discovered in the bath tub a week ago yesterday, will be completed Monday. A report that chemists were analyzing the clothing of two men friends of the dead woman was denied.

ASK ROOSEVELT TO BAN LIQUOR IN WHITEHOUSE M. E. Superintendents Pass Resolution at Meeting in Kokomo. 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 consolidated 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. General conference delegates elected are: W. A. Pugh, Preachers’ Aid Society secretary; O. T. Martin, Warsaw district superintendent; C. G. Yeomans, Kokomo district superintendent, and W. H. Bransford, Anderson district superintendent. Dr. F. E. Fribley of Fort Wayne was named delegation head. Lay Delegates Chosen Lay delegates are: Homer P,. Gettle, Fort Wayne; Roy Roudebush, Greenfield; Mrs. W. C. Lytle, Fort Wayne; Floyd R. Bollenger, Daleville, and Lee S. Leatherman, Tipton. Dr. F. A. Hall, Richmond district superintendent, was elected general secretary of the Preachers’ Aid Society. He formerly was superintendent. A tribute was paid Dr. Frank T. Daughtery, retiring superintendent of the Muncie district. RELIGION GAINING IN GOUEGES, IS CLAIM Dr. Wickey Submits Data to Church Council. “College students today are exhibiting a keen interest in religious problems.” This assertion was made last night by Dr. Gould Wickey of Washington, in an address before the Indiana Council on Religion in Higher Education. Speaking at a dinner in the Y. M. C. A., Dr. Wickey, general secretary of the Council of Church Boards of Education and executive secretary of the United Lutheran Church of America, said: “This interest was not manifested a decade ago during the day of hip flasks. I believe that courses in religion and the Bible should be required in all colleges and universities.” Dr. wickey presented to the conference, which was attended by teachers, professors, deans and college presidents, the results of a recent survey to determine the scope and type of religious courses offered in institutions of higher learning.

Beautiful Marchioness Is Hunted as Gang’s Nemesis Guarded Revelations Indicate Italian Noblewoman Played Star Role in Entrapment of Bond Shift Ring. * By In ited Press NEW YORK. April 18.—Guarded revelations by Federal agents and police indicated today that the beautiful Marchioness Pia Ferrari Davico of J?aly was the instrument through which an international rim: 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 $590,000 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, w ? ere Jacob Schwarz, a Czecholovakian, and Bernard Klein, Hungarian. Klein had $440,000 worth of the Bank of Manhattan Co.’s bonds W’hen 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 7. 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 with 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 7 , 2 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 members 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 on the proposal will be taken until the data is compiled.
