the school board had not exhausted its efforts to obtain Federal aid. Arthur F. Gemmer, American Legion state Americanism commit- | tee member, urged the board not to | reduce the proposed levy. Makes Charges He charged the Indianapolis | Chamber of Commerce and the In- | diana Taxpayers’ Association, ob- | jectors to tax increases, as being responsible for “stagnation of schocl construction in Indianapolis.” He said he made a survey ot conditions and found the new buildings were needed. : | A. B. Good, school business direc- | tor, told the board that $239,000 of | the increase was for salary adjustments and partial increases in reduced wages of school teachers and employes. He said $210,000 of the increase | was for school teachers and declared that under the state law the School Board could not prune the item from the budget as the increase was mandatory. William H. Book, Chamber of Commerce executive vice president, said it was the hope of Indianapolis civic leaders that the school city obtain a larger share of the gross income taxes than it had in the past | and that this would aid in cutting the tax levy. 5 The Rev. C. G. Baker, Hawthorne Community House superintendent, also urged the board to approve the levy. He said, “Child life is more valuable than holding on to dollars. A city is built for all the people and I don’t want to pride myself in liv-

taxes.” Mr. Baker declared West Side residents “are not large property owners but they have not protested the increase in taxes.” Sn L. W. Bruck and F. E. Glass, | representing the Irvington Union of | Clubs, told adjustment board members that the construction of a new Irvington High School would benefit the children and parents on the East Side. Paul C. Stetson, school superintendent; Allen W. Boyd, chairman of the school board's building committee, and Samuel E. Garrison, board vice president, were other officials protesting pruning of the school city’s tax rate.

Speaks at Lions Club Later, Mr. Wilde spoke before the Lions Club at the Hotel Washington. He said: : “If there is any postponement of the proposed school building program, the conditions which call for immediate action will become further aggravated and it will become impossible to meet the situation in future budgets.” Two high schools the size of the Shortridge building would be neces-

Morris-st: Joseph Fitzgerald, 16; of 1145 Church-st, and Jesse Eads, 17. of 839 Church-st, all held on vagrancy charges. Detectives Morris Corbin and J. J. Sullivan said they detained Eads as he was allegedly attempting to pawn jewelry they said was taken from the Worm home Sept. 12. Eads, according to detectives, said he received the jewelry from other persons. Detectives said they recovered other jewlery at the homes of the youths. They claim the arrest of Parker yesterday resulted in closing the case. They charge Parker is a paroled convict who was sentenced to one to ten yeafs in the

vehicle-taking charge.

sary to accommodate the high school overload, he said. “The cost would be approximately $2,600,000, but the commissioners are seeking only $875,000 with which to meet the most urgent needs,” Mr. Wilde said. Yesterday the tax board warned that one cent slashed from the civil city levy “was only a starter.” The civil city levy was reduced tentatively from $1.16 to $1.15 by cuts of $46,950 in the proposed city general fund budget. Most city departments, receiving appropriations from this fund, were given cuts. Despite Mayor Kern's statement that many city employes are working for “sweatshop wages,” board members said a close scrutiny is to be made of all proposed salary increases. “If the city organization had fewer efficient employes at a living wage instead of a large number of employes at small pay, one good man could take the place of two men,” Ovid D. Mann, representative of the Speedway City Town Board, asserted. The Indianapelis Chamber of Commerce and the Indiana Taxpayers Association have recommended that the civil city levy be pruned by the board to a figure near the present $1.11 rate. Miss Hannah A. Noone, Center | Township trustee, in a letter to the board, asked that the proposed Center Township levy be reduced from $.338 to $.25.

Driving Hints BY NAT'L SAFETY COUNCIL

BACKING ERE is a neat little trick used by many drivers who find it mighty helpful in back= ing. Notch or mark the steering wheel so that you can tell by its position when the front wheels « are absolutely straight. This will help you out of many a tight hole. y Always sound your horn before backing. If your car is not equipped with a backing light, you can use the stop light by pressing vour foot on the brake pedal just hard enough to make the light glow, Keep your rear window clean and your rear-view mirror in good _position. Needless to say, you must always be sure the way is clear of other cars and pedestrians before backing up.

BANKERS WARNED ~~ ON SOCIAL SECURITY

| | By United Press : ¥ | SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 23.—The {general optimism over the nation's {recovery as expressed earlier was tempered by speakers before 4000 members of the American Bankers® Association in convention hére toe day. The members heard warnings against permitting social security to become more of a burden than a benefit. : Leroy A. Lincoln, Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. president, found that “we find ourselves quite in accord with the avowed purpose of responsible authority, whether Federal or state, in the direction of effecting a measure of social security for the American people.” He held, however, that the total amount of money that would be ree quired to provide monthly pensions for those aged 656 or over, in amounts recommended in some quarters, would exceed the estimated expenditures of all Federal, state and local governmental bodies for all purposes during the war.
