NEW INCREASE REVEALED FOR JOBSAND PAY April Report for Indiana Also Shows Man-Hour Gain Over March. AHEAD OF LAST YEAR Durable Goods Industries Spurt Held Signficant by Carpenter. BY JOHN JOHNSON Indiana employment increased 1.8 per cent, pay rolls 2.6 per cent and man hours worked 3 per cent in April as compared with March, figures released today by the Indiana Employment Service show. This is the third consecutive month in Indiana that employment, pay rolls and man hours worked have increased, Martin F. Carpenter, service director, pointed out. Employment and pay roll reports were received from 2231 manufacturing and nonmanufacturing firms. Six of the seven major groups in the durable goods industries increased employment, and of the 22 major groups studied, 15 showed employment increases and seven declines in employment. From April, 1935, to April, 1936, employment in state manufacturing industries increased approximately 6 1 per cent. Pay rolls increased 19.1 per cent during the same period. The majority of this improvement was due to a 11.5 per .-.ent increase in employment and 26.2 per cent gain in pay rolls in the durable goods industries. Gains Held Significant “These gains are especially significant,” Mr. Carpenter said, “since economists maintain that any permanent improvement in the employment situation must be accomplished by increased employment in this group of industries.” Nondurable goods industries increased their number of employes .3 per cent and their pay ’•oils 7.5 per cent over a year ago, the report reveals. Indiana hotels show a 11.2 per cent increase in employment and a 15.4 per cent gain in pay rolls over last spring. Dyeing and cleaning firms show increases of 10.2 per cent in employment and 12.5 per cent in pay rolls in the last 12 months. Over the same period, Indiana laundries disclose employment up 8.3 per cent and pay rolls up 20.3 per cent. Quarrying Falls Off Employment and pay rolls in the nonmanufacturing industries were greater than last year in all groups with exception of the quarrying anc j nonmetallic mining group, which reported .7 per cent fewer persons employed and 6.1 per cent less wages paid. Bituminous coal mining industries disclosed employment 16.3 per cent and pay rolls 88.6 per cent above a year ago. Reports from the retail trade group reveal employment 5 per cent and pay rolls 3 8 per cent above April, 1935. Wholesale trade employment is .2 per cent above last year while pay rolls are up 4.9 per cent. Public utilities show their employment 6.4 per cent above a year ago while utility pay rolls were increased 17.5 per cent. Work Hours Increased “The number of hours worked a week by the average manufacturing plant employe has increased 12 per cent,” Mr. Carpenter said, “but his weekly wages have shown a greater increase, 1.4 per cent, so his hourly earnings are higher than during April, 1935.” Manufacturing establishments, totaling 912 and employing 172,906 persons, increased employment 1.6 per cent from March to April while pay rolls rose 3 per cent and man hours 3.3 per cent. ‘ These gains are also significant.” Mr. Carpenter declared, "in view of the fact that there has been an average seasonal employment loss in Indiana manufacturing industries during the last four years of .8 per cent from March to April.

Indiana U. Expert Debunks Vitamin Fad for Children

Dr. Mathew Winters, child disease expert of the Indiana University School of Medicine, today debunked the vitamin diet fad for children. He said that a child can receive all the calcium and viamins it needs from one quart of milk a day. Dr. Winters spoke at the secondday session of the annual Indiana Dental Association meeting in the Claypool. Dr. Winters said that because it takes such tremendous salesmanship to persuade the child to drtni a quart of milk a day, more attention should be paid by mothers to the psychological aspects of child feeding. He urged 600 delegates to treat child patients as mental as well as physical entities.

‘HAVE WORLD BY TAIL,’ SAID PENSIONCHIEF ‘Hatful of Money’ for Men Who Stood by Movement, Townsend Wrote. STILL FOR THIRD PARTY Pension Movement Founder Denies He Used Term ‘Old Fossils/ By United Press WASHINGTON, May 19. Dr. Francis E. Townsend told the chief lieutenant of his S2OO-a-month pension drive that “you and I have the world by the tail on a downhill pull” and that there would be “a hatful of money” for those who stood by the movement, the House Townsend inquiry revealed today. Dr. Townsend was also revealed as calling attention to the “fun” which he said had developed over “the jitters that some of the congressmen are in” over the Townsend plan. The elderly physician’s statement was culled from a letter he wrote Robert E. Clements, describing plans for expansion of the Townsend Weekly, organ of the pension drive. Correspondence Is Quoted Dr. Townsend was also revealed as seeking to establish a “militant” third party in an effort to defeat Republican and Democratic opponents. "You and I have the world by the tail on a downhill pull, Earl, if we handle it right,” Dr. Townsend’s letter read. The physician added that there would be “a hatful of money for those who stayed.” The disclosures were made before a crowded committee room including some 40 members of a Townsend transcontinental caravan. Prior to introduction of the correspondence, Dr. Townsend denied having called supporters of the pension scheme “old fossils” or starting the drive for motives of “cold cash.” Opposes Entangling Alliances Dr. Townsei-.d, his correspondence revealed, urged that a national Townsend Weekly be started in Washington “where it is possible to maintain supervision of both Senators and congressmen and learn their characteristics and particular leanings.” He said he had no doubt that funds to finance the paper would be forthcoming from Townsendites. However, if their funds did not suffice, he knew “where the fund could be supplemented.” “I do not like the idea, however,” Dr. Townsend wrote, “of entangling alliances. We have had enough of them.” After Dr. Townsend admitted his authorship, a series of letters he exchanged in 1935 with Mr. Clements, resigned secretary-treasurer of the movement, was introduced. Still Favors Third Party Dr. Townsend spoke of going to Arizona to “help the people recall their two Senators.” Dr. Townsend wrote that the “only recourse we have” until a third party is formed is to support favorable candidates of the major parties and advised Townsendites to enter actively on congressional campaigns. “I still feel a third party is our only salvation,” Dr. Townsend told the committee.

HOOVER OUT OF RAOEHE SAYS Guffey Case Holds Political Spotlight; New Jersey at Polls. By United Press Political implications of the Supreme Court’s Guffey case decision today were studied in the national capital for expected reverberations in the 1936 presidential campaign. Chief interest was in the possibility that the issue of a constitutional amendment giving the Federal government clear power to regulate industry and labor on a national basis might be injected into the campaign. Meantime, action was reported all along the political front. Developments: Former President Herbert Hoover reiterated at Chicago that he was not a candidate for the Republican presidential or any other nomination. Jersey Goes to Polls New Jersey voters went to the polls for a test of sentiment between Gov. Alf Landon of Kansas and Senator William E. Borah. Also at issue was Gov. Harold G. Hoffman, whose candidacy as a Republican convention delegate-at-large was expected to show reaction to his intervention in the Lindbergh kidnap case. Col. Henry Breckinridge was entered alone in the Democratic presidential preference poll but President Roosevelt was assured of the Democratic delegate slate. Gov. Landon made a national broadcast address in which he characterized the youth movement in politics as bringing “a breath of fresh air into a stuffy, smelly room.” Chairman Henry P. Fletcher of the Republican National Committee atacked the New Deal Home Owners Loan Corp. for “putting the United States into the mortgage business on a scale that staggers the imagination.” TAXICAB ORDINANCE PASSED 8Y COUNCIL Measure Awaits Signing by Mayor Kern. The taxi licensing ordinance, which seeks to regulate rates, number and kinds of cabs operating within the city, today awaited Mayor Kern’s signature. If it is signed, taxis will have definite restrictions upon them for the first time in a year and a half. The measure is expected to become effective before June 30, when new taxi licenses are to be taken out. It was passed by the City Council last night by an 8 to 1 vote. The Council took no action on measures seeking to repeal the antipicketing ordinances and to restore pay cuts of police and firemen. It approved an appropriation of S7OO for Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra concerts to be held in the parks in Juno.

By United Press WASHINGTON, May 19.—Public Works Administrator Harold L. Ickes testified in district Supreme Court today that there was “clever sabotage” within his own work relief agency. Defending his PWA program of making grants and loans for construction of municipal power plants, Mr. Ickes charged that the power interests had sought to hinder his activities by working within his own agency. “I was led to believe there was clever sabotage within my own organization on power applications,” Mr. Ickes testified.

CITY TO EQUIP PLAY CENTER ON WEST SIDE Site to Occupy Four Acres in Little Eagle Creek Park, Sallee Says. DIRECTOR TO BE NAMED Activities of Local Children to Be Supervised Six Days Each Week. (Editorial on Page Twelve) BY JOHN MURPHY Children of the West Side are to enjoy a fully equipped and supervised playground this summer, Charles A. Sallee, city park superintendent, announced today. The playground, which is to answer a long-felt need on the West Side, is to be constructed in Little Eagle Creek Park near the terminus of Tomlinson-st and Little Eagle Creek. It is to occupy between four and five acres and is to be equipped with swings, slides and other modern playground apparatus, Mr. Sallee said. Play is to be supervised eight hours a day, six days of the week during the summer. The supervisor is to be appointed in June. Delay Additional Work Two weeks ago the park board purchased 100 acres of land adjacent to the present park. The board planned to construct the playground on the addition. When it was discovered that legal formalities would prevent any work being done on the newly acquired land for at least three months, the board decided to construct the playground in the present park. Land purchased by the board includes 91 acres known as the Henry Harding farm and nine acres known as the Nelson farm. The board intended to build the playground on the Nelspn land when representatives of the Nelsons agreed to grant permission pending final closing of the deal. Works Progress Administration regulations, under which the improvement was to have been made, forbid the setting up of a project unless the government subdivision seeking the project possesses a clear title to the property. Construction of a bathing beach along Big Eagle Creek, which runs through the Harding farm, also has been delayed because of this regulation and other complications. '* Cabin to Be Opened The playground Is to be situated northeast of the log cabin now being completed on the bank of Little Eagle Creek. The cabin is to serve as a community house for the park. It was used for the first time recently for a Boy Scout meeting and is to be open to the public for similar gathering as soon as lights are installed. * When the way is cleared for the development of the additions, the old Harding home is to be transformed into a second community house. The two structures are expected to provide ample accommodations for West Side community projects. Both are to be operated in the same manner as community houses in other city parks. A regulation baseball diamond already is situated near the playground. Both banks of the creek have been “rip-rapped” near the cabin, and a footbridge has been built across the creek at that point. The board plans to construct a small dam across the creek near the playground to provide a wading pool. Future Development Considered Commenting on the possibilities tffered by the West Side recreation site composed of the present 25 acres and the newly purchased 100 acres, Mr. Sallee said he believed it could be developed into one of the show spots of the city. He hinted that there was a possibility of changing the course of Little Eagle Creek, so that a boulevard could be constructed from the intersection of W. Michigan-st and Olinav into a parking space within the grounds. Construction of a boulevard would require the erection, of a bridge at the intersection to*take the place of an old bridge on Olin-av, he said. NAVY SHIPS CRIPPLED Two Crafts Returning to Port With Engine Trouble.

‘CONSTITUTIONAL’ ISSUE IS REVIVED BY GUFFEY UPSET

Some Doubt President Will Raise Question at Convention. ADDED SUPPORT IS SEEN Powerful Labor Groups to Rally to New Deal After Setback. BY THOMAS STOKES Times Special Writer CINCINNATI, May 19. The Supreme Court has marched back on to the political platform. Its decision knocking out the Guffey Coal Act has revived on the eve of the national conventions the question whether the Constitution should be amended to permit government regulation of business such as the Guffey Act embodied. Whether President Roosevelt will accept the issue is a question he alone can answer. The only previous guide is his prompt dropping of the subject when the country failed to react favorably to his suggestion for constitutional change in the famous “horse and buggy” press conference after the Supreme Court killed NRA, and his failure to renew the suggestion when the AAA was invalidated. Labor Backing Strengthened But, whatever position the President takes, it appears that the decision will tend to solidify labor still further behind him, for the decision covers much broader territory than the coal miners alone, who already are for him. By shutting the door on any Federal legislation to control wages and hours, and by the plain hint that the Wagner Labor Act guaranteeing collective bargaining will be kicked out the same window, the decision affects all types of industrial workers. Already the United Mine Workers of America have indorsed President Roosevelt for re-election, and their president, John L. Lewis, has thrown himself lustily into the campaign with an effective organization. The Pennsylvania Federation of Labor, with 400,000 members, has done the same. So have the hosiery workers, (Turn to Page Three) PEACE PREDICTED BY STATE MINERS’ CHIEF No Trouble Is Anticipated, Frank Barnhart Says. Times Special TERRE HAUTE, Ind., May 19. No labor troubles are anticipated in Indiana coal industry as a result of the Supreme Court’s invalidation of the Guffey Act, Frank Barnhart, district president, United Mine Workers of America, said today. Working under a contract which expires April 1, 1937, Indiana coal miners hope to negotiate anew agreement at that time, Mr. Barnhart said. “It is regrettable that the decision should come at this time,” he commented. “for every one knows the coal industry is just beginning to get its head above water. Neither miners nor stockholders have made any money. “Some form of legislation is absolutely needed to stabilize the industry in regard to hours, wages and price. Local operators are satisfied with the existing contract and it is probable that we will be able to come to an agreement when it expires.” He had received no word from John L. Lewis on prospects for substitute measures, Mr. Barnhart said, but supposed that some form was being planned. The Supreme Court decision, handed down yesterday, voids what has been termed a “little NRA” for the coal industry. 2 MURDER DEFENDANTS GET SEPARATE TRIALS Baker Grants Motion in Case of Truck Driver’s Death.

FINAL-STOCKS HOME PRICE THREE CENTS

Coal Act Upset Is Termed Challenge to Carry Test to Voters. LABOR MAPS SHOWDOWN Wagner Act Also Doomed, Far-Reaching Verdict Indicates. ’ BY LYLE C. WILSON United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, May 19. Supreme Court invalidation of the Guffey Coal Control Act challenged President Roosevelt today to carry the issue of constitutional amendment to the people in the presidential campaign. The decision pointed toward political and economic consequences. Mr. Roosevelt may reveal New Deal strategy at his regular press conference at 3 p. m. (Indianapolis time). Laoor leaders already were planning pressure ior a campaign year showdown on constitutional limitations defined by the courts proscribing Federal regulation of hours, wages and industrial competitive conditions generally. "Little NRA” Theory Lost There was talk in the capital today of possible trouble in the mine fields. Congressional leaders doubted time would permit patching the Guffey bill at this session. Lawyers believe the court blasted beyond repair the “Little NRA” theory of Federal individual-industry control. There were expressions of hope, also, that coal control can be achieved voluntarily. Scrapping of the Wagner Labor Relations Act on the Guffey precedent was judged to be only a matter of time. Down with the Guffey bill went most of the hope of those who projected legislation to regulate other individual industries or who believed a Federal 30-hour-work week program could be bomb-proof-ed against high court attack. The hectic search for a coal control method to replace the outlawed, Guffey Act today turned to the minority Supreme Court opinion of Justice Benjamin N. Cardozo. This hint came after hours of study and conference, participated in by coal union leaders, operators, representatives, government officials and congressional figures. No Public Comment No public comment was made immediately, however, by any of the conferring groups. The prospect remained strong that no legal way would be found around the bars placed by the high tribunal and that the issue might be carried into tho national elections. The ray of encouragement shed by study of the Cardozo opinion vat found in its discussion of the validity of the act’s price-fixing provisions in interstate commerce. This view of the three dissenters v/as shared by Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes, who agreed, however, with the general findings of the majority. The New Deal money-raising program took another jolt in the Guffey decision. Mr. Roosevelt had budgeted for $18,900,000 (M) from coal taxes during the current and next fiscal years. The sum involved is small compared with the wealth denied the Treasury when agricultural adjustment was outlawed but It moves the budget out of balance a little more. Budget Deficit Boosted So far, $674,883 has been collected in coal taxes. The Treasury is studying the decision to determine whether this sum would be legally refunded to mine operators. Secretary of Treasury Henry Morgenthau Jr. testified recently that New Deal expenditures, the cost of the bonus and failure to collect AAA processing taxes probably would boost the budget deficit to anew high. Coincident with the Guffey bill reverse—which brought the New Deal Surpreme Court score to nine losses against two victories—the District of Columbia Court of Appeals outlawed one of Dr. Rexford G. Tugwell’s rural resettlement projects at Bound Brook, N. J. The decision jeopardized similar projects involving land purchase. Lawyers said, however, that the 1935 $4,000,000,000 relief appropriation (Turn to Page Three) FORECLOSURE ASKED ON HUNTINGTON BUILDING Property House, Printing Plant of Mayor Bangs.
