against the bill "because it hits at home rule.” “Last night Senate Bill 173 disappeared.” Senator Gottschalk said. “You recall what happened here in the corridor yesterday Considering all these things. we decided that the best course was the introductinh of a new hill.” : New Provisions Inserted The specific new provision garding the Marion County fare Director post follows: *The County Director of public welfare in counties having a population of 400.000 or more. according to the last preceding census, shall be appointed by the State Board of Public Welfare.” Majority Leader Thompson declared: “This will stop some who have been making a political plavhouse of the state Welfare Bill. This bill does not take away home rule from any county. “1 urge vou to pass this bill because of Wayne Coy and social problems connected with the bill and not for political purposes.” Rep. James M. Knapp Hagerstown) said: “I pay tribute to Wayne Coy: He is a gentleman He honorable and honest in all his dealings and he is sincere in all his ambitions.”

Cov Statement Made

Mr. Cov. in a statement in which he named Cancilla as his assailant, sajd: “Cancilla askea me not to put on pressure to get this welfare bill ott of committee. He wanted to hold it up. I told him I wouldn't.” Jt was reported the Senate committee might offer a $5000 reward for Cancilla and ask for sage of a hill to provide a special juclge to wry the case. Provision also would be made for a special prosecuting attorney. The Washington conference was called upon instructions of Harry L. Hopkins, WPA Administrator.

Kern Makes Statement

Should some Federal angle be found. the entire force of the Justice Department, including use of Gmen and Federal District Attorney's staff. would be injected into the case, it was pointed out. Mavor Kern said today: “The City doing evervthing possible to clear up this unfortunate incident. A City police ofTicer signed the warrant for Cancilla’s arrest within an hour after the incident occurred. Every man in the Police Department has been notified to be on the lookout for Cancilla. 1 deplore this incident as a disgrace to the City.” The Senate Investigating Committee, according to Senator Wade, was to receive information on Cancilla’s past police record. “We'll probably get his past, present and maybe go farther,” Senator Wade said. A report from Mr. Mattice on plans for the investigation was read to the committee this morning. The group was tc meet again this afternoon. Judge Baker Assails Attack Frank P.

Baker ouster. Judge Earl R. Cox, Circuit Court, said: “This trouble is the straw that broke the camels back. I have leaned over backward to co-operate in county welfare activities, but I certainly can't condone these tactics. I hope the Legislature passes the bill giving the Governor power to appoint County welfare officials. That would save me a lot of trouble. “Although I appointed the Welfare Board. there isn't a single appointee of mine in the entire Welfare Department, outside of the Board.”

House Warned by Stein

Joel A. Baker could not be reached for comment on the loan

of the Public Welfare Bill by Chair- |

man Downey. His office secretary said, “He is not here and we don't know whether he'll be in today.” Speaker Stein warned representatives earlier in the session that it was a felony to let bills get out of the hands of the Legislature. He said today he referred specifically to legislators who took bills home with them thev had not withdrawn from the calendar.

Chief Morrissey said today: “I am |

going to make a personal investigation of Senator Cleary's charge. 1 am going to the State House this afternoon and talk to Mr. Cleary and as many other Senators as necessary to get to the bottom of the matter.” Prosecutor Herbert M. Spencer said he and Deputy Hagemeier spen: most of the morning in the State House interviewing witnesses to the alleged assault.

Versions Similar, Says Spencer

“We interviewed,” he said, “four or five witnesses to the assault on Mr. Cov. There are still two others we haven't seen but we expect to see them sometime today. “The versions of those we interviewed were similar. We will continue our investigation until all available evidence is rounded up.” The following members of the Marion County Welfare Board refused to comment on Cancilia’s attack or on the Welfare Merit Bill, against which Cancilla was lobbying: Superior Court Judge L. Ert Slack, F. O. Belzer, the Rev. Linn Tripp, Mrs. Karl R. Ruddell and Mrs. K. K. Woolling. Later, they could not be reached for comment on the proposed Joel Baker ouster, House leaders of both parties indicated there would be no separate House investigation.

Expects “Strong” Recommendation

Lieut. Gov. Schricker today said!

he expected the Senate committee to bring in “strong recommendations” in the Cancilla investigation. “I heard more about ‘dirty politics’ yesterday than I ever did in

my life. If things are being run like |

that, I think it is time something be done about it. The Senate committee has retained an attorney to see that justice is done in this case,” { he said. Doctors said Mr. Coy’'s recovery might require many weeks. Three small bones near his left eye were broken and his teeth punctured his lower lip. In a statement to police, Mr. Cov named Cancilla as his assailant and said Cancilla ' his bare hand. “Still in Town,” Says Simon

“We think Cancilla still is around town somewhere,” City Detective

Chief Fred Simon said. “He may walk in today and give himself up.” Earlier it had been rumored that Cancilla, acting on the advice of political friends, had left the city. Immediately following House action on the new County Welfare Merit Rill. the minority attempted to force out of Judiciary A Committee a measure to extend the merit svstem to most State employees. Following the request of Majority Leader Frank G. Thompson, House Democrats defeated this move. Rep. Thompson said: “The Judiciary A Committee has a perfect right to study this bill and report it out when it so desires.” ‘Welcome Investigation'—Sexton

Rep. Thompson claimed the Democratic party had done more to advance the merit system than

the Repubiican party. Rep. Knapp,

minority leader, in speaking on this |

State-wide merit bill which is sponsored by the Indiana League of Women Voters, said: “Mr. Speaker, this bill has been in committee since early in February—Feb. 12, I believe. It has been in long enough to have received some kind of a report. This bill is not a political measure. Platforms of both parties indorsed the bill.” State welfare officials said Federal authorities desired changes in the present State Public Welfare | Act to give more control to the State. A threat to hold up Federal matching funds was said to have resulted in this revision bill. It would: 1. Place county welfare departments under provisions of a merit | system for the State Public Wel- | fare Department, 2. “Bstablish minimum qualifications for county welfare employees, based on education experience, classification of posi- | tions and salary ranges.” Allow | the State Department to establish | eligible applicants lists from which | employees would be chosen. 3. Strengthen the control of the | State Department over county | boards. Provide that county wel- | fare directors be appointed “on | the basis of merit from eligible | lists established by the State Department.”

Permit State to Fix Pay

4 Permit the State Department to fix county director's salaries, 5. Abolish the Board of County | Charities and Corrections,

placement of crippled children, es- | tablish regulations for payments | to destitute children, and give the State Department the right of review over county boards’ actions. If passed. the bill would become effective on July 1, 1937. Mrs. Clarence F. Merrell, In- | dianapolis League of Women Vot- | ers, in discussing the bill today, | said: | “The extension of the merit prin- | ciples to county public welfare departments is in line with the

| recommendations of the President's |

Committee on Administrative Man- | agement which recently advocated an extension of the merit svstem upward, outward and downward in | Federal service.” The merit system in administration of social security legislation

We welcome this investigation and wholeheartedly move that this resolution be adopted.’ Senator Lawrence E. Carlson (R. Huntington) urged that Cancilla he brought before the Senate on a con- | tempt charge Senator Ralph Jernegan (R.
