FOR INDIANAPOLIS DRAFTED BY COMMISSION ENGINEER M'LEAY

Traffic, Zoning and Civic Welfare Considered in Future Development; Proposals

to Be Presented to State Board.

BY JERRY SHERIDAN i A six-year program for future city planning was com-

pleted today by Val B. McLeay, City Plan Commission engineer, who arranged the city development projects at the . request of the State Plan Board. 4 Traffic, zoning, civic welfare and the appearance of the city have been considered in drawing up the plan, to be

presented to the State Board |

within the next few days, Mr. McLeay said. Included in the program are the widening of 46th-st from Meridianst to Butler University; a new Fall Creek Parkway lake and boulevard from 10th to 16-sts, with a new bridge at Indiana-av and 10th-st; 25 more wading pools, all but eight to be outside the corporate limits in Marion County; widening of 16thst from Alabama-st to Brooksidepkwy to connect with Sherman- dr; development of Keystone-av including a bridge from Road 31 north of Broad Ripple to connect traffic through town; extension of 38th-st to meet Road 29; extension of

near Southport, and widening of | Raymond-st to serve as a southern east-west artery.

Program Enlarged

“The program, which follows the City Commission's announced plans of a few weeks ago, has been enlarged to. provice for future city expansion, Mr. McLeay said. Chief among the projects being considered now are the Fall Creekpkwy and municipal coliseum. A site for the coliseum has not been selected. | The Fall Creek-pkwy development is to include an artificial lake, to be built within two years after the project starts, a new boulevard promised by the Park Department and flood prevention levees along the creek bed. A favorite administration project, advanced and sponsored by Mayor Kern, this beautification program is to be among the first started by the city. _ plans for the entire project, said.

Traffic Relief

The S. State-av extension is con- | sidered among the most valuable long range planning projects on the | city calender, Mr. McLeay pointed | out, since it will relieve the congestion of south bound commercial traffic. The coliseum project, presented to the Works Progress Administration by both Marion County and city officials, is to continue as a county project, Mr. McLeay said. The city recently withdrew its... application, combining its sponsorship with the county. The old Shortridge High School building site has been suggested for the location,

Johnson, utility representative.

A breakdown of the inventory shows $52,527,969 for electric and

steam property while electric property alone is valued at $46,693,056

according to commission engineers.

These figures do not include radio property owned by the Power and Light Company, it was pointed out. Depreciated reproduction costs, which are only tentatively set, according ‘to Mr.. Wenger, show electric property valued &t $39,374,748, while the same item for electric and sleam property was estimated at $43,910,889. The figure for. electric and steam property reproduction eliminates -estimates fer non-utility property.

Income Not Estima ted

No figures for company income were available after the meeting today, but it is expected they will be presented at a meeting in the near future. Attending the meeting today were Judge James A. Deery, city corporation counsel; Henry B. Steeg, city engineer; Mr, Bowser, Mr. Johnson, John White, representing Indian- | apolis Federation of Community Civie Clubs, and members of the commission. Informal meetings are to be held to allow utility, city and state representatives to reach some agreement on possible rate structures, Mr. McCart said. The appraisement is to be entered to allow the commission an opportunity to compare the rates presented. Mr. Johnson said that the valuation for rate making purposes would be reached probably somewhere between the figures submitted by the utility and commission appraisals.

R. Ekins “is of particular interest to me” and expressed regret that hie would not be aboard the Hindenburg wien it sails. Pressure of business, he said, keeps him in America until Oct. 9, “when I shall again be in the control car of my airship.” The Hindenburg must arrive in Frankford on time if the schedules of both Mr. Ekins and Mr. Leo Kieran, the New York Times-North

Dr. Eckener’'s. comment upon Mr. Ekin’s record dash follows: “The round-world flight of Mr. H. R. Ekins is of particular interest to be because the first leg of his journey will be via the airship Hindenberg. As every one knows, no commercial air service across the North Atlantic is being operated except by the Deutsch-Zeppelin-Reederel, and we are very pleased that we have demonstrated on these trips the ability of our ships to operate on schedule. “For the business man and woman we have brought the old and new world much closer together, so that trips ordinarily taking many days are being made in two or three. The tourist for pleasure can also see much more on either continent due to the time saved crossing the Atlantic. “To Mr. Ekins I wish speedy and comfortable round-world Aight. Auf Wedersehn!”

people.” 2 “Wrong,” Says Townsend - -

Mr. Townsend said by. telephone from La Porte: “It's none of my business but I am opposed to any one being arrested and prevented from his right to

speak.

“I- believe in the right of free speech and if Mr. Browder was not arrested for any other reason, then it's wrong.” Atty. Gen. Philip Lutz Jr. declared the arrest of Mr. Browder and Mr. Prank was a “local police matter.” “I'm not familiar with the facts. There's nothing the attorney general’s office can do. If the case came to the Indiana Supreme Court, of course, the attorney general's office would defend any ’ action brought against the state,” he said.

No Authority, Says Van Duyn The State Board of Education, according to Grover Van Duyn, assistant superintendent of public in-

struction, has no authority over any actions of the Indiana State Teachers Normal at Terre Haute in the disposition of their halls for public

Speaking.

Mr. Van Duyn, in the absence of Floyd I. McMurray, state superintendent of public instruction, said that any action taken regarding the withdrawal of the hall’ for Mr.

Browder to speak would have to be

taken up with the college's board of directors. John Kingsbury, local attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union, said he wired the union last night that Terre Haute officials were threatening to arrest Mr. Browder. “If the Communists ask any assistance in this matter, the Union undoubtedly will offer its services,” Mr. Kingsbury said. The Union is a non-partisan organization which acts for the protection of civil liberties.

‘Silly,’ Minton Says of Arrest Times Special ‘'WASHINGEON, D. C., Sept. 30.— Senator Sherman Minton termed “silly” the Terre Haute police chief's action today in tossing Earl Browder and his Communist cohorts in jail. “That is exactly. what the Communists want them to do,” Senator Minton said. “It gives them headlines that they could not get' by merely advocating their Russiandictated cause.” He agreed with Gov. McNutt that the state can not interfere and the only recourse is through the courts. ‘The Senator pointed out that Terre Haute now is in the hands of the Republicans, who “supposedly are such great defenders of the Constitution.” “Free speech is one of the greatest

ist presidential

boons which the Constitution provides.” he concluded. “They merely make Communists by denying them tire right to talk. Browder has broadcast his campaign ideas on the radio, se he will have nothing new to tell a Terre Haute audience.” Senator Mniton expects to return to Indiana tonight.

Wernecke Asked to Open Court Proceedings

By United Press . NEW YORK, Sept. 30.—Communist Party campaign headquarters today instructed Richard Wernecke, Terre Haute (Ind. lawyer, to institute habeas corpus proceedings to bring about release of Earl Browder and four companions arrested in that city. Simultaneously, William. Z. Foster, chairman of the party, telegraphed the La Follette Senate Committee on Civil Liberties, requesting ‘intervention.

Assailed Landon in Speech at Gary

Times Special GARY, Ind. Sept. 30.—Disclaiming responsibility for President Roosevelt and assailing Gov. Alfred M. Landon, Earl Browder, Communcandidate, spoke here last night. After denying Communists were supporting the President's re-elec-tion, Mr. Browder said: “Roosevelt wavers “between reaction and democracy. He blows hot and cold and satisfies neither. “We have told progressives they can not rely upon Roosevelt, but we have. not broken with those progressive leaders who support Mr. Roosevelt,” he said.

AUDITOR ANNOUNCES DIVISION OF GAS TAX

Gasoline tax distributions totaling $6,089,421, comprising collections during July, August and September, were - announced today by State ‘Auditor Laurence Sullivan. ~~ Indianapolis’ share is $130,875 and Marion County is to get $33,127. Other distributions are: State highways $3,044,710; state general fund, $527,800; counties and cities, $2,816,-

SCHOOL ENROLLMENT SHOWS 826 INCREASE

An increase of 826 in public school enrollment here was reported today by Paul C, Stetson, superintendent. An enrollment of 16,608 this year against 16,208 for last year, was recorded for the high schools during the first nine days, officials said. Enrollment in elementary schools increased 426, Mr. Stetson said, representing the greatest increase for elementary schools in five year.

STRENGTH WITH MORAL | IDEALS

Dr. Ivan Lee “Lee. Holt Pleads for Righteousness at Preaching | Mission.

Asserting there is a connection between moral ideals and political strength, Dr. Ivan Lee Holt, inter nationally known church leader, to= day pleaded for righteousness, “bee cause it not only exalts a nation, but holds its people together.” . Dr. Holt spoke at the last noon meeting of the National Preaching Mission in Christ Church. Dr. E Stanley: Jones is to speak at the final mass meeting at 8 p. m. today at Cadle Tabernacle. The Mission is to leave for Ate lanta, Ga., tomorrow. : “These are anxious days,” Dr. Holt said. “What tomorrow may bring forth we can not tell.” “In the social order, and in the political as well, there is a period of disintegration. If God is to mean anything to us in our tasks. we must have faith in Him which is more than intellectual assent.”

Says Hope Is in Jesus

Dr. Oscar Blackwelder, Lutheran. Church of Reformation pastor, Washington, told a‘ group of young people at a session the Roberts Park M. E. ‘Church today that “Justice through Jesus is the only. hope of world youth today.” “Something more than economist opportunity and social security is the supreme need of America,” he said. “For the social planners, I have high regard. They havea conscience for the underprivileged, - which is’ more than their critics haVe, but moral bandits can wreck the finest rails that social justice lays.” Dr. Merton S. Rice spoke on “God as World's Guide” at a mass meét= ing in Cadle Tabernacle last night. “The world is broken down,” he said. “It is poor in its riches, help= less ih its strength. The hope of the world is the Gospel of Christ.’ Whatever is the complication in your life, you can find what yous soul ‘needs in Him.”
