BADOGLIO IS CALLED HASTILY TO ROME; AUSTRIA IN TURMOIL

Conqueror of Ethiopia Is Summoned to Italy in Surprise Move. MAJOR CRISIS FORESEEN Action of League Council in Continuing Penalties Is Prime Point. By United Press ROME, May 21.—Marshal Pietro Badoglio, hero of the East African war, hastened to crisis-ridden Europe today —l2 days after his appointment as Viceroy of Ethiopia. No reason was apparent, on the surface, for his sudden, unexpected, start. But it seemed clear that it meant early developments of major importance to Italy and Europe. Sent to retrieve the Italian fortunes in Ethiopia last November, Marshal Badoglio electrified the army and entered Addis Ababa in triumph May 5 and in a statement indicated that he intended to remain lor a considerable time. On May 9 he was named viceroy of Ethiopia. Recent Events Reviewed Since that day the League of Nations council has voted to continue penalties against Italy for its war on Ethiopia, to Premier Mussolini’s open, fierce rage; the Italian delegation to the League has left Geneva and it has been announced that Italy will not participate in any League activity until the penalties are removed; Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg has seized power in Austria, ousting Mussolini’s protege and satellite, Prince Ernst von Starhemberg; there has been a somewhat mysterious Italian-Brit-ish exchange of discourtesies over charges that British firms sent dumdum bullets to Africa. Italian newspapers for days past have talked more and more of the danger—almost the certainty—of war in Europe. News that Badoglio had left Addis Ababa came unexpectedly and laconically in authoritative messages from the capital. Graziani Put in Charge These dispatches said that Marshal Rodolfo Gi'aziani, commander-in-chlef in Eastern Ethiopia, arrived at Addis Ababa from Harar at 10 a. m. yesterday. Badoglio at once handed over authority to Marshal Graziani, his second in command in Ethiopia, to rule the country as “regent." Then Marshal Badoglio quietly left the capital, the dispatches said, in an airplane piloted by his own son, Lieut. Mario Badoglio. Well-informed persons said here that Marshal Badoglio would not return to Africa and that Marshal Graziani soon would be named formally to succeed the 12-day viceroy. Marshal Badoglio is due to arrive in Italy May 27, and the word is that King Victor Emmanuel, upon Mussolini’s advice, will name Marshal Graziani viceroy soon afterward MACKAY. PAL ENTER' DEATH CAGES TODAY British Subject to Be Hanged Tomorrow at San Quentin. By United Press SAN QUENTIN PRISON, Cal., May 21. —Alexander Mackay and Joe Kristy, condemned convicts, today were scheduled to enter the death cages adjacent to the gallows room, preparatory to their execution some time tomorrow. They are under death sentence for their part in a prison break in January, 1935. when James B. Holohan, then warden, was beaten, and members of the state prison board kidnaped and held as hostages. Practically all hope of securing commutation to life imprisonment has been abandoned, attorneys said. The case aroused international interest after the British government asked clemency for Mackay, a British subject.

Vienna Government Seeks Way Out After Oustinf of Prince. 3 'FUEHRERS’ PROPOSED Von Starhemberg Would Be Included in Plan Under Study. By United Press VIENNA, May 21. A three-man dictatorship was envisaged by the cabinet today to end the dangerous situation precipitated by the ousting from power of Prince Ernst von Starhemberg, Ileimwehr leader. At an emergency meeting which extended late into the night, the cabinet gave final form to the draft of a law by which the country would have three “fuehrers," they are: Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg, as commander of the fatherland from,, the combined semi-private armies. Vice Chancellor Eduard Baar vor. Barrenfels, as national commander of the new armed “front" militia, army auxiliary. Prince Starhemberg, as national sports leader and head of the Motherhood Protective Association. Schuschnigg would be the supreme head. Starhemberg, however, despite the trivial titular nature of his status, would be restored to cooperation. Each of the triumvirate would be termed fuehrer. There was no immediate indication whether all factions would accept the drafted law.

U. S. BAKERS REFUSE BREAD PRICE DAT! Council Unable to Decide Reason for Rise. By Scripps-JJoward Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, May 21. Although processing taxes ended four months ago, bread costs more in 19 cities than it did last fall. In 13 other cities there has been no reduction in price. Prices have been reduced in 29 cities. These figures are reported in the latest issues of Consumers’ Guide, published by the AAA. Averaged together they show a net reduction of .1 cent per pound loaf for all cities. Whether the processing tax had anything to do with the increases which took place last fall or whether its abandonment had anything to do with the reductions, consumers' counsel of the AAA can’t say, it reports, because bakers refused to give it any information. COY EXONERATED IN WPA PROBE REPORT Hopkins Sends Findings to Senator VanNuys. BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, May 21.—Wayne Coy, state WPA director, and his administration were exonerated this afternoon in the report of the Indiana situation by Harry Hopkins, WPA administrator. The investigation was made after Senator Frederick VanNuys charged that WPA employes were being coerced to vote for certain candidates. In his letter to Senator VanNuys, Mr. Hopkins enclosed the complete report of Pierce Williams, WPA investigator, who made a visit to Indiana. The report pointed out that it was easy to overemphasize "political reports spread during a primary campaign.” Mr. Williams pointed out that the most likely cause for complaint was the appointment of non-relief WPA officials in St. Joseph County by the organization of Chester A. Montgomery, state securities commissioner.

G. O. P. Can Kill Itself,by Nominating ‘Liberal,’ Says Ex-Senator Moses; Attacks New Deal Projects

Lost Again By United Press NEW YORK, May 21.—Marcia Hamilton, 19, Indiana circus orphan, who found the one-way street signs in Manhattan so confusing that she was lost for five hours while taking her employer's infant out for a sunning, is lost again, this time in Jamaica, a community abounding in one-way thoroughfares. Marcia was bom near Peru, Ind. Her parents were killed when she was four. Thereafter she traveled with various circuses. She left a show recently at Richmond, Va. Her new employer, Mrs. Violet Owens, reported that Marcia started out last night to see a doctor about a headache and has not returned. The one-way streets were responsible for Marcia’s original difficulties soon after she came to New York and was employed as nurse by Mrs. Charles Oppenheim. Sent to the park with the baby, she lost her way. Finally she noticed white arrows on pogts saying “one way police department.” She reasoned that these signs pointed to police stations and she started following them. Five hours later, she was found several miles from the Oppenheim home crying. Her employer discharged her and she was re-employed immediately by Police Lieut. Martin Owens.

Oak-land-av, said she saw one of the boys throw a brick through the store window and boost his companion inside.

All it has to do is ape the Democratic Administration. Let the delegates to the Republican convention nominate a "liberal” candidate who can smile broadly and qualify as a radio entertainer; let them adopt a platform promising directly or by inference to continue exterminating baby pigs and dedicating tax dollars to the cause of boondoggle glorification; let them nail a Republican banner to the New Deal flag staff. If and when they do this the time will have come to order a tombstone and engrave upon it

GARDEN URGED BY MAYOR FOR BOIANYSTUDY Kern Proposes Venture to Park Board as Aid for Local Students. TWO SITES SUGGESTED Sallee Told to Call Meeting of Teachers; Plans Will Be Formulated. Mayor Kern today proposed to the Park Board that a municipal botanical garden be established in a city park as a for botany students. A. C. Sallee, city park superintendent, was ordeied to call a meeting of botany teachers from all Indianapolis schools to formulate plans to be presented to the Board next fall. The mayor suggested the garden be managed co-operatively by the Park Board and city garden clubs. Mr. Sallee suggested Holliday or Riverside Parks as possibilities. Suggests Forest Preserve Mrs. Louis E. Markun, board member, recommended that a portion of the Harding farm acquired for the West Side park be set aside for a forest preserve. R. H. Noel, 1518 Greenfield-av, asked that a playground for Negro children be established on a tract between S. Ritter and S. Arlingtonavs. The board indicated it favored the proposition. Mr. Noel said the Marion County Recreation Bureau had received % promise from the owner of the property that he would loan it to the city if equipment for a playground was provided. From 75 to 100 Negro children in that neighborhood have no recreational facilities, Mr. Noel said. SBOO Expenditure Approved The board approved the expenditure of SBOO for a chlorinating system in the wading pool at Collegeav and Fall Creek-blvd. The health department requested that the system be installed, because from 800 to 1000 children use the pool. A new pool is to be constructed at Washington-st and Bethel Park. The board discussed a proposal to restore the Garfield Park lagoon. First hearing on the acquisition of the West Side park land was set for June 4.

AGREEMENT REACHED ON RAILWAY MERGERS Workers to Be Protected Against Loss of Jobs, Is Report. By United Press WASHINGTON, May 21.—Rail labor and management leaders today announced completion of an agreement to protect workers against loss of jobs and wages by consolidation. The agreement, announced after a White House conference of the rail leaders with President Roosevelt, is intended to eliminate necessity for congressional action on the pending Wheeler-Crosser bill to protect railway jobs in mergers. The pact provides for joint conferences of management and employes in case of consolidation or mergers and machinery for adjusting any disputes which may arise. PRESIDENT’S MOTHER CONFINED TO HER BED X-Ray Shows Mrs. Roosevelt’s Hip Impacted, Bone Cracked. By United Press HYDE PARK. N. Y„ May 21.

S. governments hold at record high. Curb irregular and dull. Chicago stocks mixed, quiet. Call moneji 1 per cent. Foreign exchange irregular. Cotton futures unchanged to 5 points higher. Grains fractionally lower; wheat off !4 to % cent. Rubber quiet and steady. Silver bars in New York unchanged.

some appropriate epitaph to the G. O. P. The end will be not far off. Voters who approve the policies of the Roosevelt Administration are not going to support a Republican candidate because he offers “something just as good.” To get anywhere he has to offer something different and better. Devotees of the New Deal are not in the market for a substitute. That is something the present Republican leadership apparently does not recognize. Its reasoning seems to be that since President Roosevelt has been politically successful the way to Republican suc-

Landon Is Far Ahead in Republican Delegate Poll Kansas Governors Reliance Largely on Favorable but Uninstructed Groups; Claims 300 Votes. BY THOMAS L. STOKES Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, May 21.—The that American political institution consumes so much newspaper space today for the 1936 season with Gov. New Jersey over Senator William E. u u u M'NUTT, DEMOCRATIC oECRETARY CONFER W. Forbes Morgan Flies Here to See Governor. W. Forbes Morgan, National Democratic Committee secretary, arrived here by plane today to confer with Gov. McNutt. Mr. Morgan, Ijis assistant and a stenographer were met at the airport by Gov. McNutt and Omer Stokes Jackson, state party chairman. The group then went to the Governor’s office. Asked if the conference had anything to do with the part Gov. McNutt might play in the national Democratic convention June 25, Mr. Morgan said, “You’ll have to ask the Governor.” He denied the conference had any connection with possible national platform planks, claiming his coast-to-coast trip was “just politics.” He and his party are to go to Columbus tonight before proceeding to the West Coast. ZEP SPEEDING BACK HOME WITH BIG CARGO Carrying 51 Passengers and 2600 Pounds of Freight. By United Press LAKEHURST, N. J„ May 21. The winds that delayed the Zeppelin Hindenburg on her second commercial flight to the United States were speeding her back across the Atlantic today to her base at Frankfort-am-Main. The giant dirigible left here at 11:05 last night, less than 16 hours after it had arrived There were 51 passengers aboard in addition to the crew of 54, 385 pounds of mail and 2600 pounds of freight, including a four-place biplane which Jimmy Haizlip, the speed flier, is shipping abroad for a European jaunt with his wife and 15-year-old son.

The senate passed the appropriation, but the House turned it down.

presidential preferential primaries, which causes so much excitement, and often means so little, were over Alf M. Landon's thumping victory in Borah of Idaho. The real stand-out is in Democratic ranks. President Roosevelt reaped the only decisive results, running ahead of Republican aspirants where he was entered and overwhelming his only Democratic opponent, Col. Henry Breckinridge, so that any idea there would be a rebellious movement at the Philadelphia convention has been completely dissipated. The President demonstrated what Republicans are up against in November. Landon Far in Front As for the Republicans, the last of the primaries finds the victor there, Gov. Landon, far in front of his rivals, but with his reliance largely upon favorable delegates who will go to the convention nominally uninstructed. Senator Borah, disappointed, disgruntled and bitter, nurses his wrath over his defeats at the hands of regular Republican organizations and ponders whether he will bolt the party he has followed so long—though often at a great distance. Col. Frank Knox, the Chicago publisher, maintains his good humor and keeps up his hopes. Senators Arthur Vandenberg of Michigan, Lester J. Dickinson of lowa and Frederick Steiwer of Oregon watch the preconvention maneuvers with the eager interest of the “dark horse.” Kansan's Lead Not Safe The situation was clarified somewhat when Herbert Hoover confirmed the view of practical politicians that he was not a candidate, but the ex-President still is in a position to exercise much influence upon events at Cleveland. The Kansas Governor now has 128 instructed delegates. His manager, John Hamilton, claims he will enter the convention with over 300. It will require 501 of the 1001 delegates to nominate at Cleveland. Landon forces are depending for his nomination upon a final burst of the psychological wave which picked the previously little-known Kansas Governor up from his obscure position and made him a national figure almost overnight, and, also, upon the desire of party leaders to avoid a long-drawn-out fight. The Governor’s friends are scattered through numerous uninstructed delegations. FARLEY OPENS LANDON ATTACK IN MICHIGAN Says Election of Governor Would Be Reckless Experiment. By United Press GRAND RAPIDS. Mich., May 21. The Democratic high command considers Gov. Alf M. Landon of Kansas as the man whom President Roosevelt will have to beat to return to die White House for another term. Addressing the Michigan State Democratic Convention, National Chairman James A. Farley contended that election of Landon would be a “xeckless experiment.” He did not mention Landon by name, but as “Governor of a typical prairie state.” PAY LIQUOR IMPORT TAX Canadian Distillers Turn Over 53,000,000 to U. S. By United Press WASHINGTON, May 21.—The U.

Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau Jr., announced today.

BANKERS STUDY COURT REVERSE ON GROSS TAX

Gross Income Division Has Authority to Collect Levy, Finding. SUPREME COURT RULES National Institutions Not Affected, High Indiana Jurists Say. The Indiana Supreme Court today had ruled that the Gross Income Tax Division of the State Treasury Department may continue to collect gross income assessments from state banks. The decision, handed down yesterday, was made in connection with a case filed by the Bankers Trust Cos. of Indianapolis against the Treasury Department, under which the gross income tax division operates. The suit originated in Marion Superior Court and sought to recover money paid by the bank as gross income tax. The Indiana State Bankers’ Association financed the litigation. It was based upon the contention that state banks were discriminated against because they were required to pay the gross income assessment while national banks did not pay. Opinion Written by Fanslcr The Supreme Court opinion, written by Judge Michael Fansler, held that the Indiana act provided for assessment of the tax against banks. National banks are exempt by an act of Congress and not by the state law, the opinion said, and consequently, if there is discrimination it is through congressional action and not by Indiana statute. In another decision the Supreme Court held valid the sale of the United States Encaustic Tile Works to the United States Tile Corp. by Donald Morris, receiver of the former company. The sale had been attacked by a group of stockholders of the old company.

ASSESSMENT OF GAS FIRMS UNCHANGED 1935 Base Used by State Tax Board. The State Tax Board today fixed the assessment of the Citizens Gas and Coke Utility and the Indianapolis Gas Cos. at the same figures which formed the tax base last year. The Utility’s property was valued by commissioners at $4,810,280. The assessment on the Indianapolis Gas Cos. remained at $3,762,280. “This year all taxes including state, county, township, civil city and school city will be paid under an agreement made at the time the Citizens Gas and Coke Utility was acquired bj the city,” tax commissioners said. “Next year, however,” they explained, “the municipal company will pay only state and county taxes as provided under 1933 legislation.” NEW DEAL DEFEATS TAX GPODP REVOLT Achieves Compromise on Profits Levy Theory. By United Press WASHINGTON, May 21. —Administration forces beat down a roaring revolt in the Senate Finance Committee today and achieved a compromise designed to save the drastically modified theory of the New Deal’s tax on undivided corporate profits. The committee decided at the same time to drop proposals to increase the normal income tax rate. Members agreed on a plan, estimated merely to raise “over $500,000,000” as compared to the $623,000,000 corporate tax item in the House bill, as follows: 18 per cent flat tax on corporation eamings. 7 per cent rate on undistributed corporation income. Make dividends subject to the normal income tax rate of 4 per cent. Grant corporations earning $20,000 or less in one year an exemption of SIOOO.

FINAL—STOCKS HOME PRICE THREE CENTS

Legal Committee Urges Campaign Looking to Change in Law. FEDERAL DEBT RAPPED Suggestion Made to Pay Job Insurance Levy Under Protest. The Indiana State Bankers Association, defeated by the State Supreme Court in litigation to escape gross income tax payments, today was urged by its legal affairs committee to sponsor remedial legislation. It also was urged to pay recently enacted Social Security unemployment tax levies under protest “so that a bank could recover more easily in event such act might bo decided unconstitutional.” There were 420 state banks represented at the convention. There are 545 banks in the state. From its president, B. D. Mitchell, Kokomo, it heard described as “cause for apprehension" the Federal debt and unbalanced budget. More than 600 bank officers, directors and employes are in attendance. Meeting in the Claypool for a two-day session, the state bankers also heard addresses by Mark A. Brown, Chicago, Harris Trust & Savings Bank vice president; and Harold Nathan, Washington, Federal Bureau of Investigation assistant director; and were to hear Paul Stokes, Indianapolis, National Retail Hardware Association research director, and Dr. Walter F. Gephart, St. Louis, First National Bank vice president.

Social Laws Criticised Gov. McNutt and Dr. John L. Davis, New York humorist, were to speak tonight, and tomorrow Marriner S. Eccles, chairman, board of governors. Federal Reserve System, is to deliver the featured address. Read by Donald B Smith, Mishawaka, Ind., First National Bank cashier and legal affairs committee chairman, the legal report said, in part: “A birdseye view of social legislation begins to give the banking fiaternity a vision of the expense. It is admitted, I think, by all that it is purely experimental, and if the history in other countries is any criterion, we most certainly have our moments of apprehension when we read what has happened to other countries which have tried this experiment.” Warning Is Sounded The report warned: “From all indications, we may expect in the regular session of the 1937 Legislature other forms of tax measures, and there are certain groups today which are advocating the doubling of the intangibles tax in Indiana. These groups allege that the financial institutions are more able to pay and, therefore, the intangibles tax should be doubled despite the fact that in 1935 only 24 per cent of the banks were able to pay dividends of their common shares. "We bankers recognize that inasmuch as we are supposed to have control of the money and liquid cash, that there are certain groups which sometimes enviously and (Turn to Page Three) TREASURY IS TO FLOAT $1,000,000,000 BONDS U.

COUSIN OF ROOSEVELT STIRS SENATE HEARING Government Would “Abet Robbery of Citizens,” He Says. By United Press WASHINGTON, May 21—Philip J. Roosevelt, cousin of the President, startled a dull Senate Interstate Commerce Subcommittee hearing today when he asserted that “certain actions at Washington” made him believe the government w’ould “abet the robbery of its citizens.” “I can't believe you mean the government would rob one set of taxpayers for the benefit of another,” said Senator Harry S. Truman (D„ Mo.), ardent New Dealer. “All right, figure it out for yourself if you feel that way about it,” Mr. Roosevelt rejoined sharply. Cooke Nominated by F. D. R.
