list was sufficient answer to the charges. “It is the policy and purpose of the administration to get all city departments back on an even basis so far as the political affiliation of their personnel is concerned,” the Mayor said.
‘Practically Even’
He added that the personnel of the fire and police departments were “practically even.” “It has been said by some officials, too,” Mayor Kern said, “that some of the Democrats registered as such are really Republicans. After the new merit law goes into effect, police and firemen will be appointed without regard to politics and we have tried to time the appointments so that they will be made about .the -same time that the law goes into effect.” : Mr. Kealing objected to the preponderance of Democratic candi-. dates in the present schools. Of 35 fire school members, one is registered ‘as a Republican. All of 60 police candidates.are Democrats, records show, .
‘Top Heavy’
Seven candidates in the fire school
and 12 from the police school are to be appointed. Mr. Kealing told Council members that the fire and
police departments would be “top heavy” with Democrats. Mayor Kern insisted the Demos= crats’ margin “would not be more than 12.” An ordinance transferring $73,000 from the flood prevention bond issue fund to the new Flood Control Board was passed despite protests of four Council members. The vote was 5 to 4. Although the transfer was provided for by a legislative enactment, the four merhbers favored delaying action until -an opinion on salary features was handed down by the Indiana Attorney General.
‘Seven to Get Salaries
Under provisions of the flood control ordinance salaries are to be paid seven city , employees including Henry B. Steeg, City Engineer and president of the new board: Edward Raub, Council president, charged that under an amended State statute, salaries of city employees could not be increased dur-
ing their term of office. The flood control budget provides $2400 salary for Mr. Steeg and other board members. Attorney General Omer Stokes Jackson ruled today that City Engineer Steeg can legally be paid $2400 yearly salary as a flood commissioner in addition to his $4500 annual City Engineer's salary. Attorney General Jackson ruled that since the City Engineer held an appointive office his salary might be increased during his term of office. © Mr. Raub, who joined the three Republican members in voting against the transfer, questioned the legality of changing a City bond fund to the jurisdiction of a joint City and County board. :
$6000 for Wading Pools
The Council also passed an ordinace appropriating $6000 for construction by the Park Department of 10 new wading pools to complete the city’s recreation program. Fourteen pools already have been built. Included in the ordinance was an appropriation of $4000 for the purchase of additional land adjoining the present Greer Street Playground. Other ordinances passed provided for the transfer of $62,923.73 from the Works Board gasoline tax fund for street repairs and authorized the sale of Park Department proprty no longer needed by the department.

2% Luncheon Guests
The only luncheon guests were Capt. Walter Greenacre, equerry to the Duke, and | Inspector David Storer of Scotland Yard: who has been sent to guard the exiled monarch because of numerous threatening letters. i t It was a rainy Liternoon and the household remained indoors, except for brief excursiohs to the terrace. When the Duke arrived, the weather was hot and cloudy, but the sun broke through for a moment as he reached the chateau. | In the evening there was music in the library from the electric organ, then appetizers served before dinner in the castle’s ancient kitchen, no longer used as such but converted into an inn-like room with an American bar. Mr. Rogers said no activities were planned for tonight because the Duke was tired after his quick trip from Austria and] wanted to go to bed early. The apartment assigned to the Duke is in the rear of the castle off the library, its windows opening on the forest. Mrs. Simpson’s suite is in the opposite wing at the front of the castle, overlooking the ‘swan lake. f
Duke’s Lawyers Ask Writ Against Book
By United Press ? LONDON, May 4.—Lawyers for the Duke of Windsor applied today in the High Court of Justice for an injunction against the Heinemann Co., publishers of the book *“Coronation Commentary.” It was believed the injunction was sought to prevent further distribution of Geoffrey Dennis's best seller in which, as part of his “Coronation Commentary,” he criticised the Duke. 1 The application was made before Justice Sir Herbert du Parcq in the section of the law courts known as the “Bear Garden” because of the traditional noise of the litigants. - Sir William Jowett, a famous King’s counsel and former attorney general, and C. H. Pearson appeared as counsel for the Duke. G. A. Allen, of the Duke's solicitors, Allen & Overy, appeared also. The Heinemann firm was represented by Valentine Holmes. The case was deferred. The secret hearing lasted only 15 minutes. Lawyers ‘for both sides refused to discuss what took piace.

Two sets of prospective judges for the cases of joel A. Baker and Peter A. Cancilla are to be named by the Indiana Supreme Court Clerk. County Clerk Glenn B. Ralston has: certified two affidavits to the Court Clerk under the new change of judge law upheld last week by the Supreme Court.
