}
Others in Party
Others in the official greeting party are to be Dr. Carleton B. McCullough, Marion County WPA director, and former state Democratic chairman; Omer S. Jackson, state Democratic chairman; Val Nolan. United” States district attorney; Bowman Elder, Thomas Tag- | gart and W. Irving Lemaux, Democratic leaders. Rising prices, most economists who have studied the Indiana situation believe, will keep the general state-wide farm income up to standard, or perhaps a little more, this year, but the relief for those farm- | ers who had ‘complete or nearly | complete crop failures is a matter | of immediate concern.
Rains Helped Little, Claim
Recent rains, agrarian economists are agreed, did little to aid that | part of the Indiana corn crop which was burned up by record summer | heat and the 83-day drought. | Again and again it has been pre- | dicted that the state £rop will | ! Make no more than one- -half of its | ‘normal vield. This presdnts a sefious winter feed problem] especial- | ly for dairy farmers who even now, | in lieu of drought-burned pastures, either are feeding winter reserves | or buying hay and grain because! they have none.

Kern Urges Hospitality
Mayor Kern today urged citizens | of Indianapolis to show “trus| Hoosier hosiptality” during the] President’s visit in the following | statement: “Tomorrow the President of the United States will be a guest of Incianapolis. Citizens will want to show their admiration and respect for Franklin D. Roosevelt and the high office he holds and will also
ever he can favor Indianapolis i a visit. LL “I, therefore, suggest that all citizens, particularly those who live adjacent to the route to be traveled by the President, display flags. “MAYOR KERN.” | Club Provides Entry A wooden ramp and stairway was | being built today at the north en-

and pacers in front of the grand stand. The Johnny Jones shows and rides along the Midway are to be opened tonight, officials announced today. Finals-in the softball tournament are to be held under the arc-lights at night in front of the grand stand. Teams to battle for the softball title include those from Marion, Newcastle, Logansport, Whiting, Elkhart, Jeffersonville, Crawfordsville and Evansville. Throughout the day and evening the Indiana University stage show is to be held in the I. U. Building. All exhibits are to be .open day and night with the crowds dividing their time between the midway and educational exhibits. One of the newest exhibits at the fair is the model farm home, located in the rear of the Poultry Building. The home, built of cinder blocks, later is to be a permanent residence. Current discussion indicated it may become the mansion of Indiana's Lieutenant Governors. The Conservation Department's exhibit, with its 90-foot fire tower for giving visitors a view of the Fairground’'s panorama, is to show Hoosier wild-life. Drivers’ Test Arranged
The farm equipment plot at the southeast corner of the Fairground has been broadened and exhibitors have taken in the space formerly used for a street car “turn-around.” Automobile drivers will be given an opportunity to show their ability in a reaction test to be given under auspices of Indiana University [in the I. U. Building. The test, in a. new car, is said to demonstrate the rapidity with which a person can stop an automobile in times of danger. A university professor in psychology is to conduct the tests. Results are to be used in determining the feasibility+of the tests for examinations drivers’ licenses. Highlighting tomorrow night's entertainment is to be an amateur contest in the Coliseum under the wing of Phil Baker, radio comedian and master of ceremonies. Mr. Baker, scheduled to arrive at noon today with his stooges “Bottle” and “Beetle,” is to be entertained tonight at a dinner in she Indianabolis Athletic Club.
Others to Attend State officials, Gov. McNutt and members of the Indiana Board of Agriculture are expected to attend | the dinner. One of the daily attractions in| front of the grand stand is to be a sheep-driving demonstration by Luke Pasco, collie breeder, and his dog, Jean. The snap of a finger suffices, according to fair officials, to order the dog to head the sheep for home. John Bright Webb, draft horse department director, reported today the largest entry list of all fairs in his department. Exclusive of the, horse-pulling contest, which has 24 entries, the department has received entry blanks for 424 horses. Tents may be needed to take care

COUNCIL FAVORS SALARY RAISES
City Pay Schedule Revised in Action. During Budget Study.
(Continued from Page One)
certs in Garfield Park next summer, Among major Jems trimmed on second study last night were City Hospital, cut, $12,967; Gamewell, $1923; Works and Sanitation, $13,000; building® commissioners department, $2423; Board of Health,
The proposed budget, including approximately $423,000 in salary raises, already had been cut $92,000 when the wage scale was reached. More than 2100 city employes, including 1200 police and firemen, are affected by the reduction, it was estimated. : Splitting party lines over the proposed salary increases, councilmen brought the compromise agreement out of caucus. Councilmen Nannette Dowd and Adolph Fritz, Democrats, and Edward Kealing, Republican, voted against the proposed salary ratio, while Council President Edward Raub, Dr. Silas J. Carr, Dr. Theodore Cable, Democrats, and Mr. Schumacher, Republican, favored the compromise.
Estimate Cut at $100,000
Estimated to reduce the proposed budget as much as $100,000, the salary cut would bring a total reduction of approximately 6 cents in the civil city rate. The proposed rate, based on an estimated assessed valuation, was $1,243 for next year when the budget was introduced Aug. 17. An informal ‘count of salaries showed 150 not effected by the increase, their pay being higher than $2099, while about 335 would receive the 4 per cent increase. Less than 1000 city employes are in line for the 5 per. cent raise and about 825 whose salary requests are below the $1200 limit are to get the amount asked in the proposed budget. This tabulation excludes temporary labor, such ‘as included in the street commissioner’s department. Reverting to unexpended balances once the salary budget was settled tentatively, the: Council suggested utilizing approximately $27,000 more than the controller’s suggestion of $200,000. An additional $13,000 from the sanitation | bond fund and $10,000 from thé Park Department fund was added {to the reductions.
Item Cut $2400 Despite efforts by Councilman Fritz, the council voted to cut $2400 from the building commissioner’s department for two smoke inspectors. Mr. Fritz insisted this item would save money for the city. Councilman Schumacher suggested the combustion engineer be detailed to this work. City Controller Walter C. Boetcher estimated $1500 would be derived from gasoline tax salaries through the reductions adopted by the council. Wages for one man in the Gamewell Department was changed o gasoline tax fund to take up this slack.

answered with his smilie, work too hard.” When the Kansas Governor was called in, the President sat at the head of the long table in the office of Gov. Clyde L. Herring of Iowa. He puffed at a cigaret as he dirécted the discussion in his role as President.
Landon Puffs at Pipe >
Nearby in one of the high-backed chairs sat the smaller-statured Landon, neat in a white linen suit, puffing at a pipe, entirely at ease, now reclining with his head against the back of the chair, now leaning forward to enter the discussion, to answer a question, to express a view.
About “the table were Harry L. Hopkins, Dr. Rexford G. Tugwell, various Kansas executives of New Deal agencies, and experts from the Kansas State College of Agriculture whom Gov. Landon had brought with him.
Most of the talking was done by the experts who accompanied Gov. Landon and by the representatives of the Federal agencies in Kansas, as the President and his Washington officials and Gov. Landon sat listening. This followed the customary procedure in similar conferences which the President has held on this drought inspection trip.
Expresses Thanks for WPA
During the conference, Gov. Landon expressed his thanks to Mr. Hopkins for the work done by his WPA force in the drought and for the assistance of Mr. Hopkins’ corps in drawing up a long-time drought relief program, including the construction of pools on farms, which was embodied later in a program presented to President Roosevelt by Gov. Landon in 1934.
The authorship of this program has been a matter of controversy. But Gov. Landon did nofy claim sole credit for it in yesterday’s conference though some of his aids, in discussing it during the conference, spoke repeatedly of what “we” had done. The conference differed from all others on this trip in that, while the winter relief program was discussed in a general way, there was no mention of money. Mr. Landon, unlike: other Governors, did not come with his hand out asking for a certain sum, nor did he suggest specific projects. There is, of course, a political reason behind this, for he is attacking Federal expenditures. But not a sour note was struck. Everything was amicable.
"Drought Not an Issue One outcome of the RooseveltLandon conference seems to be the removal of the drought and its attendant problems from the campaign. The candidates see eye-to-eye on this matter. Also in the sportsmanship exhibited on both sides in the conference, there seems to lie an augury of a campaign conducted, as far as the principals go, on a high plane. They will be friendly enemies. “He’s a very fine, charming gentleman,” Mr. Landon said of the President to newspaper men. And, said Dr. Tugwell, the braintruster: “I want to tell you Mr. Landon is a swell guy.”
