FIGHT SALARY INCREASE FOR REBISTRATION

C. of C. Contests Budget Proposal Made by County Clerk.

(Continued from Page One)

demand extra workers next year,” Mr. Ettinger said. He cited new features in the law as partly responsible for the added , cost and additional help as follows: First, notification of voters who » haven't voted in the last two general elections that they must register or be dropped from the files; second, notices to be sent out for reinstatement of registration; third, notives of cancellation of registrations. : W. A. Brown, adjustmient board chairman and president of the Marion County Council, substantiated Mr. Ettinger’'s statement that the Indiana League of Women Voters . approved the salaries item in the 1937 budget. In discussing an increase of $4900 in salaries of other employes in the county clerk's office, Mr. Ettinger said the increase was for removing salary cuts, explaining the restoration would not amount to ‘10 per cent of the salaries of the clerks affected. * Takes Voluntary Cut

He told the board members that it was valuable to the welfare of police and other departments of government to Ker the registration books up-to-date, even in off-years. One voluntary budget cut was taken today when County Auditor Charles Grossart told the board that he would agree to slicing $1500 for extra help in his office. Attaches say the item was placed in his budget by mistake. Mr. Grossart criticised any county budgeting method that would fail fo appropriate enough madhey for all departments without the need of additional appropriations during the year, : Hearing Is Set

The board announced that citizens ‘of Perry Township would“ be given an opportunity at 1 p. m. tomorrow to protest the budget proposed by Leonard Hohlt, township trustee. The Perry’ tax zxate, according to residents, reaches an alltime high this year with the proposed $2.345 against last year’s rate of $1.71. The county budgets under consideration today and tomorrow show a general fund levy request of $1,452,898.50 for an 18!4-cent tax rate; $512,596.70 for the sinking fund or an 8':-cent levy; $160,356 for the tuberculosis hospital or a 2-cent levy; and a welfare department levy of $2,393,569 or a 17-cent levy of which $968,000 is to be raised by property taxes in the county. County officials have asked a 46cent rate, an increase of 8 cents over the current levy. They are to tell board members that the increase was caused by the newly established welfare department. City Raje Cut Cent At last night's meeting board members made another tentative 1cent reduction in the civil city. 1937 tax rate, bringing the figure now to $1.14. City officials originally requested a rate of $1.1612 on each $100 of taxable property. This was first reduced to $1.15 by cuts of $46,950 made Tuesday night in the proposed city general fund budget. ! e additional tentative 1-cent reduction made last nigh was not accompanied by reduction of any budget items. Board members said

| light and - power,

Jack Fisher

this slash was based on an anticipated additional $25,000 poll tax revenue that had not been considered when the budget was prepared, and $28,000 that may be paid to the city by trustees of the Citizens Gas and Coke Utility.

Utility Not Taxable

The city now has no power to tax the municipally owned gas company, it was explained. Mr. Book

has claimed that officers of the utility are to go before the next Indiana General Assembly and ask that a law be passed enabling them to give the city money to replace lost taxes. If the board members cut the $235,000 item for city salary increases, the civil city levy may be fixed at a figure near the $1.11 rate now in effect. Additional tentative minor reductions made last night in the civil city budget were: - City Hospital—Fuel, from $30,000 fo $28,000. Park Department — Commuhication and transportation, from $2345 to $2145; repair, from $2350 to $2000; office supplies, :from $550 to $500; general - materials, from $2250 to $1850. Sanitation Department — Heat from $1200 to $1000; fuel and ice, from. $1200 to $1000; garage and motor supplies, from $22,000 to $21,000; office supplies, from $150 to $100; equipment,

from $15,000 to $10,000.

Forrest M. Logan, acting state PWA director, appeared before the tax hoard yesterday and discussed the” proposed grant- for new school building during the hearing .on the school budget: Walter Horn, Indiana Taxpayers’ Association representative, urged that the $875,000 building appropriation be halved—and that application be.made to PWA te finance the rest of“ the program. - - School board members declare the $875,000 is needed because of the uncertainty of the Federal grant.

Mayor ‘Deprecates’ Park Concert Ban

Mayor Kern today said he “deprecates” elimination of budget items for the Garfield Park summer symphony and for membership in the United States Conference of Mayors after his session with the County Tax Adjustment Board. The $1500 request for concerts, he pointed out, -had been attended by more than 14,000 last summer and plans have been made to build a natural amphitheater at the South Side park for next year. The Mayors’ conference, he said, has been helpful to the city, although Indianapolis has not sub-

scribed for three: years.

‘ward to placate the Japanese, and

trying, on the one hand, to‘'pacify its own citizens, it can not hope to succeed at both indefinitely.

Army ‘Wants Action

A showdown will be difficult to avoid much longer. Adding to the danger, the Japanese army in Manchuria, Jehol, Inner Mongolia and North China is known to.be raring to go. ; 3 Since Sept... 18, 1931, when it began to overrun .Manchuria, the army looked upon Japan’s mission cn the Asiatic mainland as its exciusive property. It has brooked no interferécnce on the part of civilian officials in Tokyo on Japanese diplomats in China. Eastern Asia is

frankly and openly regarded as a

field of action for the -Japanese army and if is impatient at delay. Where ii; will stop nobody can say. Reports persist that the present wave of anti-Japanese activity in China will be seized upon to justify a new {lirust at the expense of that country. Early this year the Japanese army attempted to convert the five principal provinces in the north into a buffer state under its control. But something went wrong and the coup only partially succeeded. A new attempt now is said to be ‘in preparation.

Warships Ready

| Japanese’ warships are ready for action off the North China coast up the Yangtze River opposite Hankow, ut Shanghai, and within striking distance of Canton—all regions implicated in the alleged murders. The Chinese disclaim responsibility. . At least some of the incidents. they assert, were caused by other Japanese. In at least some cases determination of the actual cause of death was made all the more difficult because of the hurried cremation of the victims.’ All that was left to go on was the testimony of possibly interested parties and the Japanese simply disregard Whatever of this they chose.

NEW TRIAL SOUGHT

FOR CO-ED’S SLAYER

By United Press RALEIGH, N. C., Sept. 24.—Attorneys for Martin Moore, convicted. Negro slayer of Hélen Clevenger, prepared today to examine the trial record for exceptions and as-

signments of error on which they will base their plea for a new trial before the North Carolina Supreme Court the week of Nov. 3. The Supreme Court late yesterday granted the Negro hallboy of the Battery Park Hotel in Asheville a writ of -certiorari permitting a review of the case and automatically postponing his execution by lethal gas, which had been scheduled for Oct. 2. .

SIMPSON TRIAL OPENS MONDAY

American Sailor to Be Tried in. Nazi Court on. Espionage nage Charge.

By United Press = : BERLIN, Sept. 24.—Contrasting the usual secrecy with which mbst Peoples Court trials are conducted, it was expected today that the German prcss will provide more details than usual about next Monday's high treason and espionage trial of Lawrence Simpson, an American sailor. Because of the trial's Communist argle, it was believed that the government will consider it valuable anti-red . propaganda, although the ry of Justice has not decided whether to admit the public and

press During the last case of an Americar before the court—that of Richard . Roiderer who was freed—the rress and public. were admitted but the charge against Roiderer was less serious than that against Simpson. In the majority ~of Peoples Court cases the public has been excluded shortly after the trial has started. Simpson was arrested aboard the S. S. Manhattan in Hamburg harbor June 28, 1935, and has been in custedy ever since. The charge against

him is smuggling and distribution of

illegal Communist literature into Germany. German pelice acted on the grounds that Simpson’s activities were hostile to fhe state thus giving them the power to arrest aboard a foreign ship as long as i was within territorial waters. Although it was believed that the case will have ramifications exfending far beyond Simpson himself, the trial was expected to last only two

{days with the court handing down

its decision within a few hours after completion of the evidence.

Terre Haute ‘Proud’ He Quit Service.

BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.—How a former strike breaker tipped off T. N. Taylor, Terre Haute labor leader, regarding a spy system at the CoIumbjan Enameling and Stamping Co., is of the record today of
