Meanwhile, some 8000 DelcoRemy Corp. employees continued idle as the plant remained closed. Workers in the Delco plant are owed three, five and eight days pay, they claimed. Workers at Guide Lamp Co., which also manufactures accessories for General Motors, also claimed they are owed pay. The workers said they have heard reports the regular payday will be met Thursday. 200 Inside Plant Approximately 200 idle workers remained inside the Guide Lamp plant, where they amused themselves with cards, reading, exercise in the company yard, and barber shop harmony. Yesterday, a mass meeting, with a crowd estimated by Mr. Thompson at 6000 and by others at 5000, was held in the National Guard Armory. Both union and nonunion workers attended, and heard Mr. Thompson say that ultimate aims of the union were a 30-hour week, and a minimum family Ineowne of $2400 a year. A long parade of motor fA bearing persons who attended the meeting then went to Guide Lamp Co. and was entertained by the hastily assembled band of the sit-down strikers. Union Office Headquarters ‘Meanwhile, the union office, over a clothing store on Main St., is general headquarters for a number of strike committees which are active over the city. The “mooch” committee, headed by Marshal Muterspaugh, has succeeded in collecting donations of ‘ood and gasoline which Mr. Mutcrspaugh estimated would have retailed at between $400 and $500. There has been no violence of any kind. Mr. Thompson exhorted participants who attended the mass meeting yesterday afternoon or last right in the Circuit Court Room to refrain from any.
CITY TO ASK UTILITY PAYMENT ANNUALLY
Will Propose Increase of City Hospital Tax Levy.
The City of Indianapolis will propose a bill to the new General Assembly which would demand a $50,000 annual payment from the Citizens Gas & Coke Utility ih lieu of taxes it paid when it was a private utility.
This was announced today el
Mayor Kern after a conference with City Corporation Counsel Floyd Mattice and City Controller Walter Boetcher. The City also will propose a law to increase the City Hospital tax levy limit from 12 to 15 cents and the city tuberculosis prevention tax levy from 13% cents to 3 cents. City Engineer Henry B. Steeg suggested that a bill be proposad to block: minority property owners from halting needed street improvements. The present law provides that 40 per cent of the owners of abutting property can halt an improvement.
BORINSTEIN RENAMED
TO APPEALS BOARD
Louis J. Borinstein, reappointed to the Zoning Appeals Board today
by Mayor Kern, is to serve a four- |]
year term. Other board members are Mrs. George Christian. Paul Rathert, William Oren, George Weldon, George O'Connor, John W., Atherton, City Engineer Henry B. Steeg and County Surveyor Herbert Bloemker. Val B. McLeay, City Plan Commission engineer, is board secretary.
DOORS ONLY LOOT IN
VACANT APARTMENT |
Burglars were unable to find anything when they ransacked a vacant apartment building at 1852 Gent St., so they took 13 doors off their hinges and walked out with them. Thus C. A, Huff, owner, complained to police’ today after he
went to the ‘building for a Survey
of its conditiog,
make campaign promises Threats of dissension provided syfficient | cause to expect serious Democratic cleavage before the session ends. President Roosevelt has sketched his program, He plans to snip and trim, merge and consolidate, revise and remodel the first Roosevelt Administration into a second and permanent New Deal.
Reorganization Assured
This Congress will not be called upon to carrysexperiment and emergency legislation to more unexplored ground. There may even be some retrenchment and an effort toward governmental reorganization is assured. Plans to shiftr the New Deal from temporary to permanent foundations, to revive most .of the principles of the late NRA and continue the substitutes which supplanted agricultural adjustment activities have been revealed in broad outline. In his campaign Mr. Rooseveil stated second New Deal objectives: 1. Labor—Shorter hours and higher wages; and sweatshops; promotion of collective bargaining. 2. Industry—Abolition of monopoly, unfair competition and dishonorable trade practices. 3. Agriculture—Control of crop surpluses; better land use, improved marketing facilities for farmers; encouragement of farm co-operatives, and crop insurance.
4, General—Cheaper electricity;
better and cheaper transportation;
low-interest rates; sounder home financing; better banking; regulation of security issues; reciprocal trade agreements, and slum elimination.
Relieve Business Burdens
The Seventy-fifth Congress, however, will not legislate entirely with labor or the “little fellow” in mind. The proscription against new taxation will not prevent change in existing legislation to relieve business of some of its burdens. Chafiges in the 1936 corporation surplux tax have been suggested as likely. They included: 1. Reduction or elimination or surplus taxation on reserves accumulated for plant. extension or repair. 2, Exemption of reserves accumulated to retire preferred stock. 3. Relief of debt-incumbered corporations from surplus taxation. Bxperienced legislators examined Mr. Roosevelt's 1937 plans and uniformly predict a long session, ending in June or later. The program is complicated by expiration of many authorities under which Mr. Roosevelt, has effected policies vital to his Administration. There are two categories of expirations: Powers enacted with a time Hit, and those covered by a “jokin the first 19-6 deficiency bill. first classification: 1. Jan. 31: President's powers to
operate the $2,000,000,000 exchange,
stabilization fund and to alter gold content of the dollar. 2. Feb. 1: Lending authority of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation and of the Electric Farm and Home Authority.

Death Knell for Some
The deficiency bill joker imposed a death sentence on several emergency agencies, some of which would have expired this year, without additional legislation. Among the agencies thus doomed unless specifically extended by new legislation Reconstruction Finance Corp., RFC. Mortgage Corp., Public Works Administration, Federal Home Loan Bank Board, Home Owners’ Loan Corp, Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corp. Federal Farm Mortgage Corp., Commodity Credit Corp. Surplus Commodities Corp., Electric Farm and Home Authority and the Export Import Banks of Washington. Not all of those agencies are essential nor necessarily desired in the future by new dealers. It already has been announced Mr. Roosevelt will ask for continued stabilization and gold value power and for RFC extension. The Electric Home and Farm Authority and Civilian Conservation Corps. are believed on the White House “must” list. Mr. Roosevelt will go to Congress in person if necessary to continue neutrality legislation and authority to negotiate reciprocal trade treaties.
