District Abolished in Raids by Police, Chief Morrissey Says.
Chief Morrissey said today that
the morals squad, headed by Sergt. Carl Ashley, had “cleaned up” the vice district in Indianapolis as the result of his special orders. “Sergt. Ashley was ordered to question all persons, take names and addresses and close up the houses. This he has done,” Chief Morrissey said. He attributed rumors of orders to “put the lid on! gambling” to the fact that Sergt. Ashley’s squad has been shiffed from night to daytime duty. “There is a permanent order that police are to make arrests if they see gambling and feel there is enough evidence to obtain convictions. If the evidence is not complete, the officers are instructed to break up the gambling and run out the patrons,” Chief Morrissey. said. “If there is any open gambling going on, the officers in the district are not; doing their duty,” he added. He denied that activities of the gambling squad would be relaxed later this week. - Asked if operators of alleged vice houses had moved into. new. neigh-

if he heard reports of new locations he would have them raided.
INCREASE REPORTED IN U. S. EMPLOYMENT
88,000 Return to Jobs in May, Statistics Show.
(Details of Indiana Employment Gains on Page 13)
By United Press WASHINGTON, June 22.—The Department of Labor reported today that 88,000 workers were returned to employment during May. Weekly pay rolls increased $6,700,000 during the period. Secretary Frances Perkins termed the statistics “most unusual,” because May usually shows an employment and pay roll decrease due to seasonal declines. Comparing May, 1936, with the same month last year, employment increased 650,000 persons and pay rolls were up approximately $36,000,000 weekly.

IRISH HESITATE WITH ‘Ni
Decisions by De Valera Held Indication of New Attitude.
PARTY ARMY OUTLAWED
Open Bid Ic Made for Aid, ~ Friendship With Great Britain.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scripps-Howard Foreign Editor WASHINGTON, ‘June 22.—The century-old dream of a republic well within their grasp, the Irish, like the people of the Philippines, today hesitate to make it come true. With war clouds boiling up over Europe and Asia, and economic difficulties staring them in the face, they seem to feel that existing ties with friendly powers should not be severed lightly and altogether. Over the week-end President
of Irish republicans, now head of the Irish Free State, made two decisions of utmost importance.
Army Is Outlawed First, he outlawed the Irish Republican Army and, second, made an open bid for friendship and co-op-eration with Britain. He frankly stated that the Irish people: desire to “bury the hatchet.” This he did Friday night. But he did not stop there. He warned the Republican Army that if it attempted to hold the scheduled Sunday demonstration steps would be taken to break it up. Force, if necessary, would be used. : The demonstration was to have been held at the grave of Theo Wolf Tone, eighteenth century advoeate of an Irish republic.
Attitude Held Significant The attitude of President De Valera is regarded as significant and in line with present-day statesmanship of the mere progressive school. Four years ago President De Va-
tive of the Fianna Fail (his party) is the unity and independence of Ireland as a sqv state.”
such status, indicated that if Irea. full-
England severed, she would not regard it as a cause for war. Today there are indications that,
‘despite such assurances, Président
De Valera has changed his mind and no longer really wants Ireland to declare itself a completely sovereign state.
Break Not Wanted, Hint
Four years ago he declared that dominion status was not what Ireland wanted. Today, head of a republic in fact if not in name, and with complete home rule, he indicates that what he and his followers desire is a = rapprochement with Britain rather than a break. Neutrals are convinced that Ireland has everything to lose by complete separation, and much to gain by continuing as a co-equal selfgoverning dominion in the community of nations known as the British Empire. With only 3,000,000 population and none too rich, she would be at the mercy of any of several powerful European nations. Only Britain could safeguard her liberty. She is largely dependent on British markets.

Holding Bompanics. Currency and Farm Relief May Bring Clashes.
BY So: ALEX MORRIS yright, 1836, by United Press)
major platform controversy brewed at the Democratic National Oonvention today over New Deal proposals to. write a smashing anti-monopoly plank in line with the A tration's policy toward - holding companies. : With Democrats going through preliminary ' platform skirmishes over farm relief and currency planks designed to offset both the Alfred E. Smith conservative bloc and the Lemke third party platform, it was learned that Administration sources were discussing a specific reference to the advisability of eliminating Felding companies in the second degree.
One authoritative source said
‘| that the New Deal had proposed a
monopoly - plank drafted along the
{lines of a Democratic plank of 20
years ago. . This ‘would. be similar to proposals to the Republican convention ‘by Senator William E. Borah calling for a. flat declaration against existence of holding 'companies in the second degree. The Republicans rejected that part of Mr. Borah’s plank. Whether such a plank could be put through here without modification remained doubtful, but it was asserted repeatedly by members of the Democratic resolutions committee that the monopoly plank would be as strong as the drafters could write. Considerable opposition came from Eastern “conservatives to any SPesine reference to holding com-
Pe ometik of the drastic monopoly plank argued that it was in line with the Administration’s legislative policy’ which-led to a re‘I.sounding battle last year over the so-called “death sentence” for utility holding companies.

His Selection Is Due to ‘Orders From Washington,” Governor Says.
BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer
PHILADELPHIA, June 22. —Wayne Coy, WPA regional director, will be the Indiana member of the resolutions committee of the Democratic national convention ‘“‘upon orders from Washington,” Gov. McNutt announced today. Committeemen will be elected this afternoon at a state caucus called by Gov. McNutt as chairman. The McNutt slate: Credentials, Judge John M.

Therefore he announced the slate in advance and predicted that it would be adopted. He had .conferred in Washington with Presi-
“The Administration wants someone on ‘the platform committee who
is ‘entirely familiar with the prob: lems of social security and wat). means. Wayne Coy in. Indiana,” the Governor said. An effort to name Mr. Coy. ot thie platform committée, when the Governor was elected chairman at Indianapolis was thwarted. Old-time ‘Democrats objected on the grounds that the post should go to either Senator Frederick Van Nuys or Sherman Minton. ‘In-putting Mr. Coy in the position the Governor, orders from Washington or net, is carrying out his policy of “no compromise,” it was pointed out. : Since he is backing the New Deal leaders to the limit, Gov. McNutt also is expected to pledge the delegation to abrogation of the two-: ‘thirds rule.
Some. Oppose Two-Thirds Change
However, some of .the Indiana delegates are privately opposed to repeal of the rule, feeling that the President under the majority rule will be able in 1940 practically to name his successor. Judge Baker on the rules committee will do Gov. McNutt’s bidding, it was said. Miss Gertrude F. McHugh was elected secretary of the delegation, Thomas Taggart, national committeeman from Indiana; Mrs. Samuel Ralston, national committeewoman; the .
