~ BRIGHT SLAYING

State Police Claim Confession From Neal and Marshall.

(Continued from Page One)

wanted to steal a car and drive it to Madison where Neal had relatives. They said they had intended to sell it. Marshall sat in Capt. Leach’s office smoking a cigaret and saying that he “thought it was a shame” that Mr. Bright had been Killed, “I went to school until I was 16 and was in the sixth grade,” he said. “Then I was so big that I was getting kidded, so I quit. I never could get geography or arithmetic.

Mined Gold

“When I quit school I started helping dad. Mother died when I was quite young. Dad and I mined gold in Brown County. Once we panned for four weeks and found 50 cents worth of gold. “Dad was on relief and we could eat. Once I worked for three years and saved. my money. I had $50. I guess a guy ought to save that much in three years.” He puffed at his cigaret and then looked at Capt. Leach. “Say,” he said, “that was a good one about: the heater being tied around his neck. I never thcught of that. But I guess if you had killed a man and were nervous and the guy with you was nervous you wouldn’t have thought of it either.”

Leach’s Theory

He smiled. He referred to Capt. Leach’s theory that the heater, missing from Mr. Bright's car, had been tied ‘as a weight around Mr. Bright’s body before it was thrown into Big Sugar Creek at Red Mill bridge, from which it was recovered Wednesday afternoon. “Did you tell your father what you had done?” someone asked the youth, who returned to Indianapolis two days after the crime and went back to his father’s lodging house rooms at 430!2 E. Ohio St. “He said,” the boy mumbled, “that I sholdn’t have Jone it.” Were Opening Gin State Police, who arrested Marshall yesterday afternoon in his home, shortly after Neal was taken in Kentucky, said Marshall, bis older brother, and his father were just opening a bottle of gin when they entered. “I met Neal,” the youth said, “for the first time Monday. A fellow who rooms in the same house brought him to our room. Dad and my brother went to get more gin, and we planned the robbery. I suggested it, because I knew Neal had been in jail for robbery before and I thougnt he ought to know the ropes.”

Neal Brought In.

Just then Neal was brought into headquarters. They averted each others’ gaze. Capt. Leach and officers talked to Neal in a private office while Jfarshall sat outside and smoked. Then he was brought into the office and they were seated four feet from each other and let alone. For five minutes they did not speak. Then Neal, who was helped to a light by Marshall as the first gesture between them, said in a low voice: “When did you get back?” “Two days ago,” Marshall said, barely audibly. A long pause. “When did you leave her?” Marshall asked. ° “Day ago,” Neal replied, and they both laughed. Capt. Leach interrupted. “you boys hungry?” he asked. Marshall said he was, Neal said he wasn’t, but could eat “in case it will be a long time before I get another chance.”

Given Steak Dinner

And so the police put handcuffs on them and led them, in overalls and polo shirts, to the Harrison Hotel for a steak dinner in the dining

room. They ate well, and seemed awed by the sumptuousness. As they left the Statehouse police offices, three shots that echoed through the halls, startled everyone—everyone that is, but the two prisoners. They didn’t even seem curious. ~ Capt. Leach explained that the pallistics expert was making tests of the gun Neal had when he was captured and with which both boys said Neal shot Mr. Bright. «Just getting the evidence ready,” Capt. Leach said.

STUDYSTAX BILLS DESPITE

Rep. Dillin, 22, Destined To Spend Spare Time ‘Cramming’ Law.

By WILLIAM CRABB

The youngest member of the Legislature is worried, not about problems of decorum or parliamentary procedure, but final exams. The 22-year-old representative from Knox and Pike Counties, Samuel Hugh Dillin (D. Petersburg) is “playing hookey” to serve his constituency. !

Indiana University Law School last September, but campaign, election and now the opening of the House have made serious inroads into his educational program.

Forsees Tough Quiz

“Exams start Jan. 20 and they're going to be tough,” he moaned. “I won’t be Rep. Dillin to the professors. Ill be just Mr. Dillin of row 9. seat 3.” He has his books in his hotel room here and he anticipates spending most of his spare time “cramming.” “Ill be mighty lucky if I get 2all my credits this semester,” he predicted. Rep. Dillin has had to make one major sacrifice in order to launch his political career. Last week he resigned as editor of the “Bored Walk,” the university humor publication, a position for which he campaigned for three years. Last year he served as the magazine's business manager.

Hard Road Ahead

Next semester will be difficult, too. He will have to enroll a month late and all assignments will have to be brought up to date. “Maybe I can catch up, and maybe I can't.” . Rep. Dillin has a political heritage to uphold. William McMahan, his great-great-grandfather, served in the Territorial Assembly at Corydon in 1813. And he’s not jittery about his first legislative session. “Ill not merely sit back and watch. I have a few bits of legislation- in mind myself.” Serves on Four Committees Securing a 30-day leave of absence from the university Rep. Dillin took the stump last October and was elected by a 4000 plurality. He was unopposed in the primary. He has been named to serve on four committees: Bank and Trust Funds, Corporations, Judiciary: 3 and Public Expenditures. “It’s going to be a lot of fun and great experience. But I wish that Torts exam was over.”

SECOND VICTIM DEAD IN APARTMENT FIRE

Prove Fatal to

Clarence Barnes, 65.

Clarence Barnes, 65, died at City Hospital last night from injuries received Tuesday when fire destroyed the apartment building in which he was living at 912 E. Washington St. : Mr. Barnes’ death was the second as a result of the fire. Jess Chester Dunbar, 33, was burned to’ death. Mr. Barnes and three of his family were overcome by smoke and rescued by firemen. Hospital attaches said today that his wife, Grace; their daughter, Mary Lou, 9, and a grandson, Robert Smith, 17 months, still were in serious condition but were improving.

EXTRA BUSSES SERVE BEECH GROVE PATRONS

Additional bus service was to be operated on Beech Grove lines today following abandonment yesterday of the community’s traction lines. Don F. Ewing, of the Pennsylvania Motor Inn, affiliate of Indianapolis Motor Inns, Inc., which manages the lines, said ,the extra. service is to be in effect until accurate determination of service needs is made. Charles Adams, Beech Grove Mayor, said the Board of Works probably will meet next week to consider the transportation service.

SEEK DEAD MAN'S IDENTITY Police today sought to identify a man who fell dead in the 500 block Indiana Ave. He was dressed in

overalls and a work shirt, according to the report.

Text of Labor Bills

Sections of the proposed labor bills provide that employers give information relative to employment, occupation, wages and hours; permits labor commissioner to make inspections of factories in collecting facts and data; gives the commissioner the right to examine books and records, power to administer oaths and take depositions and to promote voluntary arbitration and conciliation between employer and employees. ne Repeal of an act of 1915, which gives the Governor the right to call an arbitration board in the case of labor troubles, also will be sought and the powers of that act conferred on the proposed new labor commissioner.

SECURITY BOARD SHAKE-UP SEEN

John H. Fahey Mentioned as Successor to Winant.

By Kcripps-Howard Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.—The Social Security Board, apparently destined to be the Federal Government’s largest and most important agency, may be reorganized within a few weeks. There is. no indication that the temporary arrangement under which ex-Governor John G. Winant returned to the Board's chairmanship will be extended. Mr. Winant is planning a return to his New Hampshire home. Apparently the President plans to put a Democrat instead of a Republican at the head of the Board this time. It is rumored that Arthur Altmeyer may also resign, returning to his old post as Assistant! Secretary of Labor. This would leave Vincent Miles on the Board and one Democratic and one Republican vacancy. John H. Fahey, head of the Federal Home Loan Bank Board, is being mentioned for the chairmanship. The changes probably will follow inauguration. However, the incumbent board intends to have its say about amendments it would like to see made in the Social Security Act. Its annual report, due in a few days, will recommend new legislation.

WABASH COLUMNIST ELECTED TO GROUP

The murals are distinctly pro-Ed-ward and Wally and anti-Prime Minister Baldwin and the Arch-

Opposition Is Hinted

Some industrial leaders said they would resist certain sections of the measures seeking to inquire into any employer relations with employes and also any effort to place the unemployment compensation division of the State Welfare Act under the proposed department. ° The compensation division is not mentioned as a governmental division to be brought under the new labor department. The Legislature also is to be asked next week by the State Agricultural Board to appropriate $100,000 in addition to the proceeds it receives from a 3.5 miil state tax. The fund is needed to meet the boards bonded interest charges and retirements, members said. A similar amount has been granted the board by other legislatures. m In his farewell message to the Legislature yesterday, Governor McNutt said he was opposed ‘‘unalterably” to new new taxes. + Senator Hemmer, a leader of the strong farm group and probable Senate Agriculture Committee chairman, said he believed there was favorable sentiment among the legislators for the cigaret tax. The Senator said he believed the 1s | 2-cent tax on each package of cigarets sold ih the state would be absorbed largely in merchandising. Two neighboring states, Kentucky and Ohio, have cigaret taxes.

Support Is Seen

Farm thembers of the Legislature, leaders in the fight to reduce property taxes, may favor the cigaret tax as a replacement levy, the Senator indicated. :

Teachers now are paid $500 of the $800 guaranteed them by state law every year, but Democratic members are pledged to raise the amount to $600. The Legislative Tax Survey Commission, headed by Senator Hemmer, recommended the $800 distribution to repay counties indirectly for local welfare costs. Extension of the weight tax and Rep. Treadway’s bill on tax-exempt properties also were discussed by the Tax Survey Commission. Senator Frederick F. Eichorn (D. Gary), a member of both the Tax and Highway Survey Commissions, proposed extension of the weight tax.

Bill Previously Defeated

The pari-mutuel bill was ‘defeated in the 1935 session, but county fairs are said to be supporting the bill at this session. A measure requiring all persons, regardless of whether they are exempt, to file gross income returns as a means of checking evasion has been suggested. : Legislative observers believe that the question of new taxes will be determined by whether the Legislature wishes to increase the teacher distribution. : Governor McNutt said the $17,800,000 balance in the general fund by June 30, close of the fiscal year, together with anticipated revenues would provide for state expenses, an extensive building program and social security costs. Governor-elect Townsend is reported to be in favor of increasing the teacher distribution to at least $700 during his four-year administration. . | Some Democratic legislative lead-

Roosevelt's Reorganization Plan Awaited;

Subject Loaded With Politica Dynamite

By FRED W. PERKINS Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.—President Roosevelt's views on reorganizing the Federal Government, ex-

pected in Congress Tuesday, will determine whether he is to “carry

the ball” on a subject which loaded with political dynamite.

Preparations made by the Presihis reorganization message indicate he is fully aware that the subject is more vital and less academic than

Senator Byrd—a Democrat, but at odds with the President on various financial questions—already has stated that evidence before the Senate's reorganizing committee, which he heads, “is convincing to

This contrasted with 2 previous statement by the President. that the main aim in reorganization must be business-like efficiency, and that it would be doubtful if much money could be saved. The development of the situation, and the history of the President's past handling of ticklish situations, has convinced some observers that his reorganization program is likely to provide a surprise, and this promise of small economy may turn out to have been an understatement. Another congressional body, in addition to the Byrd committee, has been at work on the reorganization tangle. It is the House Committee headed by Rep. James P.

The subject has provoked a great deal of discussion during the last few years. Each man will speak for 20 minutes, then there will be 20 minutes for questions from the audience, and then each for rebuttal from each speaker. Dr. Louis Segar, chairman of the Open Forum management committee, is to preside.

for a four-year tenure, the Commission urged. Until artificial lighting of highways becomes practical, the report recommended, State funds should not be expended for that purpose. Maintenance and construction of all State and Federal routes through cities and towns, with the exception of Indianapolis, should be taken over. by the State, according to the report. : Among the reactions to Governor McNutt’s message was the opposition of several Democratic leaders to enactment of a law providing nonpartisan election of judicial officers. ] Indorsed by Governor : The bill was recommended by the Judicial Council and was indorsed by Governor McNutt in his message. “The bill, if enacted, would mean that the Republicans would be in a better position to obtain judicial posts than if they were elected on party ballots,” one leader said. The Republican members of the Legislature will meet next week to map out a program, Senator William E. Jenner (R. Shoals) said. Asked :f the Republicans v-uld follow their state plaform, 8 tor Jenner said: “We didn’t write the platform, and we may not want to follow -it absolutely.”
