As legislators conferred on new bills during the week-end, observers predicted that a flood of legislation will be introduced Monday afternoon. Homestead Bill Attacked

First fight over a bill developed when Albert F. Walsman, State Tax Commission member, charged that the $3000 homestead exemption pill would wreck the State's revenue system. Introduced by Rep. John S. Gonas (D. Mishawaka), the bill provides tax exemption for the first $3000 of assessment on any real estate used for a home. Mr. Walsman said the bill would take $1,000,000,000 from the tax duplicates and virtually would eliminate all the property from taxation in some rural counties. Rep. Gonas said the purpose of his bill was to enable persons with low incomes to buy and maintain homes. Another, controversial measure, a *bill requiring school corporations to provide free textbooks for elementary pupils, was presented by Rep. Gonas. Through yesterday the House had introduced 78 bills as against. 106 measures in the same period during the 1935 session. The Senate’s record was 25 new bills, compared to 67 in the same period in 1935.

adjournment, more than one-sixth of its bills dealing with labor problems, with 12 measures receiving union support.

Rep. Gonas High Man

Rep. John S. Gonas (D. Mishawaka) is high man on bills introduced with six measures to his credit. A gesture of “good will” toward the Administration by the G. O. P. House minority was seen by some observers in the introduction of a bill for reappraisal of all real estate this year and every four years thereafter. Rep. Robert A. Hoover Goshen), the bill's author, said: “We're taking Governor Townsend and his message to the General Assembly at its face value to show him that we wish to go along with him on all worthwhile legislation.” - He pointed out that in the past it was discretionary with the State Tax Board whether a new appraisement was made, and no fixed time was set to “equalize realty values.”

Utility Bill Introduced

Rep. George Wolf (D. Peru), author of the Municipal Utilities Measure, said the Bill is intended to simplify the Municipal Section of a 1913 Act which has undergone a number of amendments in recent years. ; Its new features would give a city the right to go into competition with privately owned utilities by action of the City Council following petition by 20 per cent of the population. It would give the City Council the right to determine the method of operation and the Public Service Commission the power to fix rates. - The measure is to be introduced the early part of next week, Rep. Wolf said. | The Indiana Municipal League program, announced today, is said to include a Municipal Utilities Amendment which varies from Rep. Wolf's bill in the following respects: 1. It would exempt municipal utilities from paying gross income tax and any other form of taxation, direct or indirect. The Wolf measure would place municipal and private utilities on the same basis as private utilities in regards to taxation. 2. It would give to city councils the authority to acquire existing private utilities by condemnation or purchases. A petition would be necessary to :give the governing bodies authority to do this under the provisions of the Wolf Bill. 3. It would give the councils power to determine “convenience and necessity with full gnd unrestricted power to operate, manage and control all such utilities now owned or hereafter acquired by such cities and towns.” Rep. Wolf said his bill would give the power of ultimate control to the Public Service Com-

WORK AT HOSPITAL

T0 BE STARTED SOON

Four Wings to Be Replaced By New Structure.

Wrecking of four City Hospital wings, to be replaced by new structures under proposed Federal-City financed plans, is. to be started by Feb. 1, according to Earl Wolf, hospital manager. Mr. Wolf, one of a delegation sent to Washington to seek increased appropriations for the proposed wing, returned today with a promise of immediate WPA decision. A two-story hospital service wing has been approved by the Government, Mr. Wolf said. The City seeks three additional stories to facilitate Negro personnel training. The five-story wing is estimated to cost. $344,500, according to Mr. Wolf.

INTERNATIONAL STABILIZATION NEW DEAL AIM

Currency Policy Pushed as Morgenthau ‘Reveals Fund Profits.

By United Press WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.—International currency stabilization was spotlighted today as a major objective of the second New Deal as President Roosevelt moved for new domestic reforms and to put earlier innovations on a permanent basis. The internal problems can be worked out among the three branches of Government, but currency stabilization literally reaches around the world and will require complete international co-opera-tion. Most important domestic reforms are in Government and labor. The President’s ultimate labor policy probably will depend on the Supreme . Court’s decision on the Wagner Labor Relations Act guaranteeing collective bargaining. Currency stabilization was restored to public attention by appearance of Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau Jr. before the Senate Banking and Currency committee to seek extension of the Presidential power to devalue the dollar and operate the $2,000,000,000 stabilization fund. The House will consider the extension proposal next week and the Senate may take it up today.

18-F0OT CREST IN WHITE RIVER NEAR

All-Rocky Ripple Residents Moved to Safety.

river rises there to within a few feet of flood stage. Deputies rowed four families in the Rocky Ripple section to safety. They forgot Puffy, a cat at the home of Thomas Courtney, 5302 Lawrence Ave., and went back after him. He was asleep on a bureau top, with 11 inches of water in the room, Two women who later were rescued by deputies walked in bare feet from their home in a few inches of water to the chicken house, rescued a score of chickens and put them in an upstairs room. In many places the backwater was frozen. . A. C. Sallee, City Park Superintendent, said that water had flooded City nurseries in Riverside Park, and had swept over the southern end of Coffin golf course. The cellar in the home of Andy Miller, park - superintendent, was filled and Mr. Miller and his family were moving out. If the water recedes immediately, Mr. Sallee said, there will be no property damage. If it should rise higher, there would be considerable damage, he said. Rain or Snow Due The Weather Bureau today predicted rain or snow for tomorrow and a rising temperature, with the lowest tonight, about 25 or 30. The sun shone today on Indianapolis, first time since Jan. 10, when it was out only three per cent of the day, and for the first considerable time since Jan. 6. Police were told today that a burglar reached the home of Mrs. Catherine Strate, 1340 S. Tremont Ave., surrounded by water, entered the house and stole jewelry valued at $160 and groceries valued at $5. The family had fled the house because of high water. Eagle Creeks, Big and Little, were reported . falling but the crest of the flood in White River here was not. expected until late today or tonight, after which the fall probably will be rapid.

CHARACTER ACTOR IS VICTIM OF ACCIDENT

By United Press HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 16—Logan F. Metcalf, a broker and former husband of Madge Bellamy, screen actress, was arrested today on suspicion of negligent homicide and hit-and-run driving in connection with the death last night of John Miltern, 67-year-old character actor. Basil Rathbone, famous stage actor who was walking with Miltern, narrowly escaped being struck by the car. The 45-year-old broker denied responsibility for the accident.

CLUBS SUGGEST AUDITORIUM SITE

Federation Asks Structure Be Erected on Women’s Prison Ground.

A plan to locate the proposed City-County municipal auditorium on the Women’s Prison site on E. New York St., is to be presented at a Seventh Federation of Civic Clubs meeting Jan. 29, according to Judge Paul C. Wetter, president.

The action was suggested after

the E. New York Street Civic League approved a resolution proposing consolidation of County penal and correctional institutions. The Women’s Prison would be moved to Julietta, County hospital for incurably insane, under the proposed plan. Julietta patients would be transferred to the Central Indiana Hospital under the proposal. Use of Federal funds has been urged by the Junior Chamber of Commerce, sponsoring the auditorium project. Projects have been offered by the City and County for Federal approval. The City project was withdrawn when it was found impossible to issue bonds for financing. Mayor Kern assured County officials their project would have full City support.

Cost $3,000,000

The proposed auditorium, to be used for conventions, opera, dances, athletic events, circuses and political rallies, would cost an estimated $3,000,000. “i E. Michigan Street Civic Club members are to be asked to work with the E. New York Street group when they meet Monday night. They have indicated they will approve the resolution proposing removal of the Women’s Prison. Located on a 90-acre tract, the prison site would be ideal for an auditorium, according to Judge Wetter. Other sites proposed for the meeting place include the old Shortridge High School corner at Pennsylvania and North Sts, and Tomlinson Hall on Market St. The County project for an auditorium has been passed by State WPA officials and is being considered in Washington.

LEGION POST PUSHES NEGRO GUARD UNIT

PICKET SHOT IN HOOSIER STRIKE

Bloomington Union Men Here; Criticize Attitude Of Prosecutor.

Union labor representatives from Bloomington today conferred with Deputy Attorney General James Sturgis following the alleged wounding of Vernon Fiscus, strike picket, at Bloomington yesterday. They questioned Mr. Sturgis on the proper procedure of securing a Special prosecuting attorney in Mon10e County. The representatives charged that Prosecutor - Leroy Baker is prejudiced. Mr. Sturgis advised them to call on Circuit Court Judge Ronald Roger. Mr. Fiscus, a Clay Workers Union of North America member and strike sympathizer, was wounded yesterday while on the picket line in the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Workers of America strike against the Bloomington Meat Packing Co. : Union men told Sheriff Jack Bruner that Mr. Fiscus was shot by Ernest Baldwin, son of Elzie Baldwin, packing company vice president. Young Baldwin was arrested later by Sheriff Bruner on a charge of aiming a deadly weapon at Ralph Moore, another picket. He pleaded not guilty and was released on $500 bond. Seven pickets were arrested last night on riot charges filed by Sherman Holsapple, packing company employee, who alleged they stopped his truck and assaulted him. A riot charge also was filed against Mr. Fiscus.
