1937

WANTED TRIPP NAMED AS

DIRECTOR, GOTTSCHALK SAYS

Four Suggested That

Friend of Joel Baker

Be Given County Post, Head of State Department Claims.

(Continued from Page One)

Mr. Gottschalk said. “We're not going to permit anything to stop these payments and we are ready to go to court with the matter if we must. The law is broad enough that we can pay the salary of the County director from our funds, if necessary. It could be deducted from their part then.” Concerning the retiring board members’ charges that Mr. Neal is “a “a precinct politician,” Mr. Gottschalk said he “wished all the Democratic precinct political workers were of the same type.” “The County Board asked that the appointment of Mr. Neal be rescinded and that we consider the Rev. Mr. Tripp for the County position. I asked them if they would consider a compromise on a third person, neither Mr. Tripp nor Mr. Neal, and I thought they were considering the matter when they resigned,” the State Director said.

Denies Political Charge

“There is absolutely no political connection here so far as the State Board in concerned,” Mr. Gottschalk said, “The County Board objected

to not being consilted. One member said there would have been no objection to Mr. Neal if the County Board had been taken into our confidence,” he said. Governor Townsend denied there was any political significance to the resignations. “They sent word they were insulted by having a County Director selected for them,” the Governor said. “They objected not to Mr. Neal, but to the fact that they hadn't been consulted on .the selection. “Probably if they had come around beforehand, the State Board would have consulted with them,” he continued.

Result of Legislation, Claim

Denying that the State Administration had attempted to inject politics into the welfare departments, Governor Townsend said the qualifications of the County Board members was a matter for the court to decide. : “We were interested only in the qualifications of the director. There may be 100 men in Marion County qualified for the job. The State board selected one who is competent and efficient. 1 am sincere in saying there is no political significance to the whole thing.” In his press conference today, the Governor said: “I can’t quite understand why that board resigned. Their feelings probahly were hurt that the Legislature Singled them out. Of course I can't help that, The people must be taken care of. There is a mandate for the state to take care of these needy people. It's

a contract between the Federal government and the state. ‘And Indiana will. My direction is for the stfite board to co-operate with the county board. Of course, you know why the Legislature decided to select the Marion County director. “If any department should be kept on a high level, it is that of relief,” he. said. ’ Asked if he knew whether the State had the power to pay the County director's salary, Governor Townsend said he understood Ye attorney general had been asked by Mr. Gottschalk for an opinion. Omer Stokes Jackson, " attorney general, said he had not yet given such an opinion. The Governor said he intended that the State should take care of any future problems in connection with the Marion County Welfare Board confrovesy a8 they

_| arise.

Neal Answers Charges

In reply to the County Board's charges of ‘political domination” and that he was-a Democratic precinct committeeman, Mr. Neal said: “I was precinct committeeman in the Eighth Precinct of the Fourth ward for eight or 10 years. I resigned when I became welfare director March 12. “My first recommendation for apnointment of an employee was of a woman at the Board of Children's Guardians Home. She was qualified to care for children.. That is all I was interested in. After she was employed I learned she was a Republican. The board approved the appointment. That shows how Jittle I am interested in politics when it comes to public welfare. “I think as inheritance tax appraiser, persons who had dealing with me know I treated -everyone alike, regardless of politics.

‘Will Work With Any Board’

“I will .work with any Board named by Judge Cox. I am not interested in who the Board menibers are, only that they are interested in the County Welfare Department. “As a precinct committeeman IT have been interested in Democratic politics because I :feel it is every citizen's duty to interest himself,” he concluded. : The ouster of Joel Baker followed the slugging of Wayne Coy, former State Welfare Director, by Peter Cancilla, Joel Baker's political associate. Both Cancilla and Joel Baker are free on bonds pending trial on‘ine dictments charging them with mat licious mayhem and assault and bat-

tery with intent to kill Mr. Coy.

yesterday was directed to Judge Cox. It reads: “We do this not because we want to shirk any duties of citizenship that you desired us to fulfill, but because a political situation has arisen that we cannot be made parties to. When we accepted positions on the Marion County Welfare Board it was with the explicit understanding that politics should not enter into any of its activities. “We have tried to keep this de-

! partment absolutely free from any

idea of political consideration. “The State Department of Public Welfare has now demanded that under the new law we must approve and pay a Democratic precirict committeeman $4200 a year as salary as director of the County Welfare Department. “We Refuse”

“This we refuse to do. “We are advised and know that the new law is unconstitutional and was drafted to place the Welfare Department of this county in .the hands of some State House politicians whose only desire is to build ‘a political machine. We must not be made a party to these proceedings. “We knew from the beginning how you felt that the work must be done. We were pleased to be engaged in an effort to serve the poor people of this county, the widows, the aged, the blind, the neglected children. “To do this work to the best advantage of those who are to be served and also the taxpayers who pay the biils, under a political setup, cannot be accomplished. “Governor Townsend and the State. Board insist that it be done under the leadership of a precinct politician: “We have been threatened by the State Board with a mandamus suit to make us pay this politician's salary. We have served on this Board since April 1, 1936, without pay. Under the proper conditions we would enjoy and continue to do the work you. wanted us to do without interference. Under the present setup, in justice to ourselves and the taxpayers who we. know expect that the work be done in the right manner, we cannot be made parties to a political scheme.”

Belzer Does Not Sign Mr. Belzer, who didn’t sign: the resolution, previously tried to get other members to vote a salary for Mr. Neal, but his motion was turned down by the Board last week. Judge Cox's letter to Mr. Belzer reads: “There has come to me, through hearsay, the fact that your daughter is employed by the State Welfare Department and that your niece is employed in the County Welfare Department. “These facts, if they be true, in either instance disqualify you as an appointee on this Board by ‘this Court and inasmuch as I would not have appointed you had either of the facts been true at the time of your appointment, I will not countenance your remaining on this Board, so therefore either personally bring or send your resignation immediately as a member of the Marion County Welfare Board,” “My daughter is working for the State Department, but I don’t see

Mr, Belzer said today.

Tripp Writes Judge The Rev. Mr. Tripp's letter to Judge Cox follows in part: “The new law subverts our nonpolitical organization. It takes away our authority in directing the work of the county board and leaves us only the responsibility, Acting upon the advice of my friends of the clergy, as well as many leading businessmen, I cannot be associated In a political scheme. I am obliged to offer you my resignation from the Marion County Board of Public Welfare, to become effective immediately. 2 “I regret to do this for I have enJoyed working with the high type of women and men who were also appointed on the first borad. “Judge, this entire community knows that you are not responsible for this change of policy for from the first you have insisted on a nonpartisan organization. You have

i i with me and I am sorry ake this action.” :

Mrs. Wooling’s Letter

Mrs. Woolling ,in a letter to Judge Cox, stated: “When I accepted appointment as a member of the welfare board it was with the understanding that the department would not be subjected to contrel of partisan politics. “To turn the office over to be made a part of a political program at this time to me is intolerable. 1 cannot continue under a partisan basis.”

500 Apply for Posts As County Directors

Merit examinations for approximately 500 applicants for county welfare director posts will be held in four state cities Saturday. ‘Two hundred fifty-eight applicants from 50 central Indiana counties are to take tests at 8:30 a. m. in Shortridge High School. Thomas L. Neal, who was named provisional ‘Marion County director under a spe-

leial'act of the L#gislature, and eight

other Marion County applicants are to take their tests then. _ Other examinations are to be held in @ary; Ft. Wayne and Evansville, conducted by members of the State Bureau of Personnel. Oral ‘examinations are to follow the written tests within a few days. Papers are to be graded and those who pass are to be certified to county boards as eligible for appointments. The county boards, with the exception of Marion, select the director. Personnel Bureau executives said the boards were not required to select the applicant with the highest grade. Marion County applicants, in addition to Mr. Neal, are Frederick Boyd, salesman; Arthur Beck, accountant; Stella Cotton, nurse;

Danaher, WPA foreman; Alonzo B. Cherry, audit employee of a bank; J. B. Titus, auditor; A. M. Corley, investigator.

RECORDS CHECKED IN FAULKNER MYSTERY

Report Pledged on Lindbergh Case Development.

By United Press CLINTON, N. J. April 27.—Records of the State Police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation were inspected today by Anthony Hauck, Hunterdon ‘County Prosecutor, in connection with a warrant sworn out in Frenchtown last week charging John Jacob Nosovitsky, alias J. J. Faulkner, with conspiring to kidnap Charles A. Lindbergh Jr. ) “Faulkner” has been a mystery name in the Lindbergh case since it was signed to a slip when almost $3000 in gold notes—from the ransom money paid over by Lindbergh to the supposed kidnapers of his son—was exchanged at the Federal Reserve Bank in New York before the arrest of Bruno Richard Hauptmann. The warrant for the arrest of Nosovitsky was sworn by J. J. McNally, private detective of Jersey City. McNally has promised to make a full report to Mr. Hauck before tomorrow night, Mr. Hauck said. Mr. Hauck said he would not present the matter to the Grand Jury until “further examination has been made.”

SURVEY REPORT DUE BY JULY 1

Data Will Enable Engineers To Plot Locations and Size of Dams.

Fifteen Federal and State agencies, since April 1, have been studying water control problems of the Upper Wabash Valley-and may have recommendation reports by July 1.

Lawrence Sheridan, National Resources Committee and State Planning Board consultant, announced this today. He said that until these plans were formed from data gathared, no integrated solution to flood control, land erosion and other related problems in Indiana could be attempted. Participating agencies are United States Army engineers, Soil Conser= vation and Forest Service of the United Department of Agriculture, Resettlement Administration, Land Planning Division, National Park Service, United States Geological Survey, the County Agricultural Agents chief, Soil Conservation Committee chief, Land Planning Research chief of Purdue University, Conservation Department, Public Service Commission, Highway Commission, State Department of Health, Public Works and Works Progress Administration and local units.

Data Gathering Complicated

The problem of gathering data, Mr. Sheridan said, is complicated by the fact that Indiana has few stream flow gauges and no evaporation gauges. He said the Army engineers, and perhaps all other agencies involved, plan to recommend that Geological Survey work be expanded in the state so that capacities of the larger watersheds can be measured accuralely. Thus, he said, with precipitation and water run off known, it will be simple to figure the amount of water retained through infiltration. From that figure it can be calculated how much should have been impounded. This information, he said, will snable engineers to figure what size dams should be built and where they should be located. Sufficient records of stream flow and precipitation to: plot trend cycles of wet and dry periods will not be available for a number of years, he said. Mr. Sheridan said that Indiana farmers could do the state, as well as themselves, much good if they would build small dams on their farms which, during heavy rains, would form reservoirs up to three acres in dimension, Farmers in the Kentucky Grass region, he said, have made this a practice for some time. -The reservoirs also provide the farmer with stock water. > County agricultural agents, he said, have plans and information for these dams available. Mr. Sheridan said he hoped that County Planning Board units, now being established throughout the state, would make the project of low dams in dry stream beds one of first concern. : The United States Coast and Geodetic Survey has begun a topographical map of Indiana, he said,

Radio listeners who tune in on a symphony orchestra, then read, engage in conversation or a friendly game of bridge were criticized by Paul J. Weaver, Cornell University music department head, this morning. “Modern development of radio is a blessing and a curse,” he said. “The fact that a person will allow a good thing to be only half-heard creates a mental barrier to musi: appreciation.”

Notes Improvement

. A pA Ee

Mr. Weaver expressed mild criticism for the concert programs which |

have been presented at the Indiana Theater during the festival. Enor- | | |

mous improvement is noted, how-

ever, over the programs of ten years ago, he said. “But. even. now many choral and instrumental group conductors are satisfied with mediocre music and some over-interpret by expressing their own personalities in music,” he explained.

Two hundred college and university students participated in a College and University Day program today. Two Pullman cars filled with symphonic singers of Stout Institute arrived from Menomonee, Wis., to make their residence at the Union Station railroad yards until after their performance at the Indiana Theater at 2:30 p. m. today. They financed the trip by stopping en route to give concerts in Racine and Madison, Wis.

“It has been said that radio, reels and rhythm hold the spotlight on the educational stage,” Miss Ada Bicking, Arthur Jordan Conservatory of Music director, told delegates at the Indiana Theater this morning following a program by the Berea College Men's Glee Club.

Discipline Relationship Seen

In schools where music ‘has been eliminated from the curriculum discipline is more difficult to maintain, Mrs. Bicking pointed out. “In many. instances, school superintendents are restoring music as quickly as possible,” she said. “In some schools where music was retained it was made possible by the reduction of salaries and the placing of heavier loads upon the teachers.”

Following the Stout Institute Singers afternoon appearance, Marshall Bartholomew, promoter of better singing among college students, spoke on “Standards in Music Education at Home and Abroad.”

re Urges Education-

“We are in a machine age of music,” Mr. Bartholomew said. He recommended that through education the spontaneity of the old folk Sqngs be recaptured. IChoral music abroad is much in advance of that in this country, he said, because of the hundreds of years of musical culture which older countries have enjoyed. “We do exceedingly well for youngsters,” he added, “but there is a great deal of pioneer work still to be accomplished in colleges and universities.” Hugh McGibney conducted the Jordan Conservatory Orchestra program and John Powell, pianist, concluded the afternoon program with folksong selections.

- - national officers of the Federation of Music Clubs gathered in the Claypool Riley Room for the biennial Past Presidents’ Frolic. Forgetting their serious concern for convention responsibilities and cultural advancement, they enjoyed a program titled “Historical and Hysterical Sketches of Music, Classical and - Unclassical.” Mrs. A. A. Coult, Nashville, Tenn., chairman of the Past Presidents’ Assembly, was in charge of the program. The setting was the music shop of “Canio Caruso,” with Mrs. Coult in a reproduction of the great Italian tenor’s costume as Canio in “Pagliacci.” After the playing of a Caruso record, various states presented sketches in which characters of musical lore appeared from folios along the wall. The Tennessee delegation’s depiction of “When You and I Were Young, Maggie,” led the procession. ‘Mrs. J. D. Hutten appeared as Maggie, and Mrs. J. Frank Cheek, the state president, was soloist.

Mrs. C. N. McHose of Lancaster, Pa., Custodian of Insignia, then outlined her official worries with a parody on “I Dreamt That I Dwelt in Marble Halls.” i More serious offerings included an Indian legend, “River of Stars,” by the Music Club Chorus of West Palm Beach, Fla. Luisa Montez Bane contributed California folk songs; Creole folk songs were offered by Mrs. Frank Boule of New Orleans. . Malibran Sketched The Pennsylvania delegates did a sketch on the life of Maria Malibran, early opera singer. Indiana was represented by Mrs. Allene Stidham of Indianapolis, who sang “Short'nin’ Bread.” A Colonial sketch was presented by the ladies from Maryland and Mrs. Vincent

traffic violations, would mail them to the Traffic Department and officers would be assigned to seek the erring motorists and give them warnings. Chief Morrissey opposed the plan, He said there was possibility of “too many jokes” being played on police= men and that “people did not want to be ‘“‘snitches.” ~ Thinks Practice Unfair Chief Morrissey said Prosecutor Herbert M. Spencer requested him to ask the Board to take action authorizing denial to defense attore neys police records of criminal cases. He said the Prosecutor thought the practice unfair to the prosecution. Parking meters are in use today, either on a trial basis or as permae nent installations, in about 30 cities throughout the United States. This is treble the number in operation last Aug. 1. Indianapolis for several months has considered the installation of parking meters. Several trips have been made by the Safety Board in their investigation of various syse tems. Theo Dammeyer, Board president, said recently the Board would make a trip to Kansas City soon, Installa=« tion of a few meters as a trial may follow, he indicated.Chief Morrissey favors meter ine stallation in the downtown business area. : Meters have been tried and discarded in six cities, and are at present the center of spirited local controversy elséwhere. Their legal status is still unsettled, although three State Supreme Courts have spoken (Florida, Dec. 10; Alabama, Jan. 14; Massachue« setts, April 15). The Alabama decie sion was definitely adverse, outlawing meters that had been installed in Birmingham on several counts. The Florida and Massachusetts Courts approved the meters for pur- | poses of traffic regulation only, and not for the purpose of increasing municipal revenues.
