0.7 LEADERS | DEMAND EARLY VOTER SIGNING

Registration Argument May Lead to Mandatory Suit in Court.

Republican and Democratic leaders today discussed possibility of a suit to mandate County Clerk Glenn B. Ralston to: force him to appoint registration clerks, about 45 “from each party, to take registrations before the general election. Frederick E. Schortemeier, G. O. P. county chairman, said a meeting is° to be held tomorrow afternoon by Republican leaders to discuss action to seek court redress on Mr. ~ Schortemeier’s-plea for the appointment of the clerks. “ Mr, Ralston contends he has ample time before registration ends Oct. 3 to conduct a registration campaign throughout the city. - Yoters now are being registered in the Courthouse,

Demands Held Premature

Some Democrats declare the Republican demand for immediate appbdintment of registration clerks is premature, and that in defense of legal action the county clerk could show that ample time remains for a county-wide registration in compliance with state law. Mr. Schortemeier said that unless registration is begun now the result will be “inefficiency and a Tush” at the last minute. Mr. Ralston, however, said that registration of voters this month would result in duplication of effort. He pointed out that many persons will move from their wards between now and Sept. 1, and that it is the desire of his office to register changes of address and registrations as late as possible.

Dispute Sick Registration

Mr. Ralston aiso declared that the Republican contention that clerks should go to homes of sick persons and register them is not necessary as sick voters in most cases will have ample time to register before the period ends Oct. 3. It is the belief of Mr. Schortemeier and other Republican leaders that clerks under Mr. Ralston, who have not been sworn in as registration deputies, can not go out of the ‘Courthouse to register voters. Mr. Ralston and W. W. Spencer, Democratic state election commissioner, however, claim. that it is their belief that county clerks can register voters outside the Courthouse without being sworn in as registration clerks, and that a like number of Republican registration clerks need not be sworn in unless —Mr. Ralston swears a group of Denieraiie clerks to take registraons.

New Regional Headquarters Established in- Marott Building Here.

.

BY FREDERICK G. MATSON “I'm glad to be in Indianapolis and I can say that Resettlement Administration work will be speeded up in Indiana as well as other states in this region,” R. C. Smith, regional RA director, said today in his new office in the Marott- Bidg. Mr. Smith has charge. of RA work in Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, Missouri and Iowa. Before he came here, some 50 truckloads of office supplies and equipment, as well as 350 employes, had been brought to Indianapolis from the former RA regional headquarters at Champaign, Ill. “We came to Indianapolis because we were outgrowing facilities in Champaign, and because Indianapolis is more centrally located for communication and transportation,” Mr. Smith asserted.

Work Is Outlined

Seated at his desk in his fourthfloor office, Mr. Smith, tall, graying at the temples, his face a bit stern, but with a ready smile, gave a “thumbnail sketch” of Resettlement Administration work. He explained that the RA was divided into four main operating divisions —land utilization, rehabilitation, resettlement and homestead. Purpose of the land utilization “division, he said, is to ‘acquire poor ‘land that has lost its fertility and retire it from agricultural use. Such land will be more valuable if put to some other use, such as game preserves, recreational grounds, or, in some cases, turned back into forests, he’ said. Four such land conservation proj-

ects in Indiana are under way in Brown, Martin, Pulaski Counties and in the southeastern part -of the state. © Approximately 1700" workers, mostly from WPA. are employed on these projects, Mr. Smith said.

Farmers Are Helped

The rehabilitation division deals with farmers’ personal problems, whether arising from dought, floods

or -economic adversity. A rehabili- |’

tation supervisor is located in each county to accept applications for loans from those who have no resources - with which . to carry con farming. Ninety thousand Indiana’ farmers have received aid; in one form or another, through the rehabilitation division. Outright grants totaling $43,000 have been made to 2266

farmers in the state from the be-|. =

ginning of RA up to last month, Mr. Smith said. Four thousand four hundred others have received $1,375,000 in loans as of July 1. The resettlement division, from which the entire administration gets its name, undertakes to. buy poor land from the owner and to put the farmer on good land which also is purchased The resettlement division tries to

make it possible for the farmers).

it serves to start over, Mr. Smith explained. Two rural. resettlement projects now are under way in In-| diana—one in Rush, Shelby and Bartholomew Counties and the other in the region around Vincennes. The homestead division is divided into two groups, rural and suburban. It establishes gommunities on land which is purchased. Here selected needy persons are placed. There .are no suburban communities established in Indiana. The rural community at Decatur, however, which consists of 48 houses, is proving one of the most Tssessiul in the nation, Mr. Smith said.

JITTERS WHEN SEIDEL ARRIVES

Ace Investigator for State Doesn’t Carry Gun, But He Clinches Cases.

. BY TRISTRAM COFFIN Should a criminal investigator be a tall, sinister figure who ‘speaks out of the corner of his mouth and can shoot a hole in a quarter at 50 paces?

Ray Seidel, a little man with ‘his

hair graying at the temples, doesn’t

think so. : : Mr. Seidel is the man who fre-

‘| quently rushes into Criminal Court at the eleventh hour with a witness |’

who clinches the case for the state. Even those defense attorneys who wish Mr. Seidel would forget to step

‘out of the way of a car say that

Prosecutor Herbert M. Spencer's chief investigator is good. The day after a jury -venire is drawn, Mr. Seidel can: tell the name, occupation and religion of every venireman. He knows" that number 15 on the list has a brother-in-law that played semi-pro ball in Kansas 10 years ago.

Defense Lawyers Scowl Defense attorneys bite. their fingernails and scowl when Mr. Seidel enters the courtroom during a trial and whispers mysteriously: into the .prosecutor’s ear.

Nine times out of 10 Mr. Seidel won’t be saying anything more ims portant than, “Who “do you wan for your next witness?” Mr. Seidel is what the crimiriologists call a scientific investigator. He studied at ‘the Northwestern University criminal laboratery and never carries a-gun., = Take it for what ‘you may, but Mr. Seidel says that his. training as 8 police reporter on a Terre Haute newspaper was excellent experience for an investigator. There is something disarming about Mr. Seidel, prisoners often say unhappily. He talks to prisoners about confessions as ‘he would discuss the weather with a friend.

Termed Hard Worker

“Luck and hard work is the reason for Ray’s success; he’s just about the luckiest fellow I know,”

Prosecutor Spencer said. “When he’s hot on the trail, Mr. Seidel will go for two or three days without sleep.

Mr. Spencer thinks that one of |

Mr. Seidel’s smartest jobs was obtaining the picture of a fugitive. Mr. Seidel traced a safety deposit box listed under a bogus name through a memorandum the fugi-. tive left behind. In the box was a locket, which, opened up, showed the-picture of a woman. Mr. Seidel poked around and discovered the fugitive’s. picture in the locket beneath that of the woman.
