AS BIG PROBLEM FOR DEMOCRAT

Party Leaders Reported |

Pondering Way to Deal Governor Out.

BY TRISTRAM COFFIN

Its victory celebration over, the | “Indiana Democratic Party today turned to mending breaks discovered by post-election analyses. To many Democratic leaders, the | only effective Republican state issues were gross income tax and dis- |

like of Gov. McNutt.

M. Clifford Townsend, Governorelect, is to hold conferences next

; _ month on gross income modification

but it is not as easy to deal Gov. McNutt out of the game, according to political observers. Mr. Townsend's friends say he | will refuse to accept dictation from Gov. McNutt, while the Governor's admirers state he has no intention of allowing the power in Indiana to slip from his fingers. Judging from the differences in| the temperaments of the two men, many party leaders believe Mr.

Townsend's administration will be |

quieter and more popular. . McNutt Individual Star

Gov. McNutt has been an individual star as an Indiana University professor, national American | Legion commander and Governor. For more than three and a half

most discussed person in Indiana. His policies have aroused both praise and bitter antagonism. Mr. Townsend, on the other hand, was a farm boy who became a country school teacher and an Indiana Farm Bureau leader. All his life he has worked with other people, and as Lieutenant Governor he remained in the background while the Governor held the spotlight.

Gov. McNutt's closest friends are those who paved the way for his election as Legion commander. Frank McHale and Bowman Elder are the most prominent of the Governor’s political aids. Mr. Townsend's friends are those he knew in Farm Bureau work or in

“No sir, there's no need staying { in jail.” | It was Joe Foppiano speaking as | he raised his hat fro mover his | eyes and gazed from his office to bars of the Marion County jail | across the street. , Joe's not a lawyer or a jail turn- ! key, but it’s his business to get peo- ! ple out of jail. That's the way he’s made his living for about 40 years—

|and during that time he has gotten |

about 5000 people out of jail cells, he says. He's a professional bondsman, the dean of “Bondsmen’s Row” on Alabama-st near the city and | county jails. By strange coincidence, Joe used to live in a house which stands on { the site of the county jail. “Always been a professional | bondsman,” he said. “This is a legal | business, We're here waiting on | customers just like a groceryman | or any other man in business. And | this is one business in which you’ ve {got to give day and night service, | 24-hour service. There's always | someone here—because. someone's always going to jail—and I guess | there's always someone in all the | other offices here along the row.”

Business Legitimate

It used to be, according to Joe | and police officials, too, that the professional bondsman could go | right into the jail and solicit his | business, but that practice has been stopped. Some authorities frown on activities of the professional bondsman, but his shingle is that of the legitimate business man, and he practices because a person charged with everything but first degree murder is eligible to bond if he can get it. That's why Indianapolis’ “Bondsmen’s Row” is as extensive, perhaps even more so, than is found in many cther cities its size. “Bail Bonds—24-Hour Service” is the way the signs read in front of them. The friend or relative of the imprisoned man steps in and applies for bond for his unfortunate friend or kin just as he would apply for a loan. Doesn't do him any good to “go shopping,” because the bonds-

treated as a group. Conversation often is permitted. “School life used to be divorced from the child's life in the home,” he cortinued. “We are trying to get away from that. We are trying to get away from the old type

schools where pupils read fairy tales. Now they read about people and the workaday world.” In elementary schools, letter cards and other forms of “busy work” that were used to keep children occupied, have been supplanted by work of a more constructive character,

Masked Bandits Beat Victims, Rob Two North Side Homes

Police Say Suspect Arrested Near Scene Identified by Woman as Assailant; Term Alibi Unsatisfactory.

Police today pushed their search for vandals who over the week-end shifted criminal operations in the North Side from relatively minor garage burglaries to armed invasions of homes with physical violence. Two homes were entered Saturday night by two armed and masked

men, and the residents were beaten, threatened and robbed. Mrs. Joseph Zaklan, 4469 Wash-ington-blvd, one of the victims, according to police, today identified as an assailant Ralph Todd, of 1035 Edwards-st, who was arrested near the scene of the robberies and who, police said, could not. establish a satisfactory alibi.

Niece Summons Police

Two men entered the Zaklan home police were told, late at night, beat Mr. Zaklan on the head with a gun until he was semi-conscious, locked Mrs. Zaklan in the cellar and ransacked the house. } They escaped just before the arrival of police summoned by Miss Thelma. White, 16, a niece who was in the house and who escaped. Police said that earlier two men

believed to have been the same pair, entered the home of George

Townsend's campaign manager, and |

Virgil M. Simmons, conservation | commissioner, together with Mr. Pursley, form a triumvirate that is | expected to guide Mr. Townsend | politically. Townsend friends say that one significant difference between Gov. McNutt and Mr. Townsend is that while the Governor has his eye on the White House in 1940, Mr. Townsend apparently has no other ambition beyond being Governor. - Mr. Townsend believes one of his first steps must be to restore the patronage to local leaders, who objected strenuously to the McNutt centralized patronage system. Dur- : campaign several local leaders said they were opposed to continuance of the Mc¢Nuit regime. In one county which has gone Democratié even in heavy Republican years, Gov. McNutt is said to have ignored the old leaders and put the patronage control in the hands ‘of an American Legion friend. Some of Mr, Townsend's allies emphasize that Gov. McNutt did not indorse Mr. Townsend until shortly before the state convention. However, observers point out, Gov. McNutt built the Democratic machine which was used to elect Mr. Townsend. Some Townsend friends say they hope the problem will solve itself by Gov. McNutt accepting a New Deal appointment.

Jones at 2460 Martindale. They argument was over a debt of 15 cents.

CLUB MEETING POSTPONED

- James McDonald, Townsend Club 0. 2 president, today announced tonight's meeting had been tponed. A new location is being ight. The club has been meetin the United Presbyterian

Fap Foppiano. “Ask about where the fellow works, something about any trouble he might have been in before and if there's any reason why he'd want to ‘skip.’ That last question's pretty important. “I've signed bonds for as high as $5000, furnished cash bonds of $100. I've lost a few, but not very many. Of course, I've always been pretty conservative. Never signed any bonds for any of the Dillinger crowd or any of the ‘big fellows’ because crime’s their profession and they're too much risk. They'll ‘take the air’ and leave the bondsman ‘holding the bag,’ as they say.” And he recalled some of the hundreds and hundreds of cases in which he has been responsible for the release from jail of men and women charged with all kinds of violations. Afraid of Thieves

“Always been pretty leary,” he said, “or least asked a lot of questions before going bond for people charged with stealing things. Got kind of leary, too, in a number of other cases, and was pretty anxious to surrender the man so as he would surrender bond and I could get in the clear.” Mr. Foppiano explained that it’s necessary for a bondsma nto own property valued at twice the amount of the bond so that when one is a professional bondsman, signing a number of bonds every day he’s got to have considerable real estate. He said each bondsman is “rated” =s to his worth at the jails and can’t sign for more than he’s worth. He admitted that a bondsman runs a chance of losing everything he’s got, but it doesn’t happen because even people who get locked up in jail are pretty much honest and are square shooters, he said. Mr. Foppiano, aside from engaging in the bond business, has always found time for plenty of political activity, but says he “never got anything out of it.”

means, what a square is, and different colors. Here is what D. T. Weir, assistant superintendent in charge of elementary education, says about

changing educational procedure. Teach Co-operation

“One of the first concepts is that the child must be taught to live cooperatively. Beneath his activities in his early school days, we have found that the fundamental princi-

ciate the importance of mutual help= fulness and the fact that we are all ‘dependent upon .each.other. for advantages and happiness. “We no longer ask children to give back answers from the book they have read, but to explain the meaning and the thought that they have absorbed. ‘We want the child to think istead of memorize.”

Knowledge Is Related

Another principle of education now being followed is -correlation, Mr. Weir said.

“We want the children to realize that all knowledge is related. They must learn that a subject can not be pigeon-holed, but that each subJect bears directly upon another,” he explained.

“This has led to the development of the ‘unit plan’ of instruction,” Mr. Weir continued. “Instead of having geography classes one day, history

we have included all these subjects under one course known as social studies. “We believe that by this method, the pupil will get a broader view of all these subjects,” he said.

Then the men, the Crossland family told police, ransacked the house for nearly 30 minutes before leaving. Detective Chief Fred Simon said today that years ago there was a wave of similar crimes but that there had been none recently. “If they get away with it the first time,” he said, “they will try it again. We are not going to allow a recurrance of this sort of crime. The entire force will make every effort to see to that,”
