The petition must be filed with the Marion County Auditor not later than the fourth Morday in September. . The new budget is $354,909 less than last year’s.

Kern: Considering Proposal For Check Here.

(Editorial, Page 14)

A complete traffic survey by expert engineers, to be financed with funds from periodic compulsory automobile tests, is being considered by Mayor Kern. An analysis of accident records. accident trends, types of accidents resulting in injuries-and deaths, characteristics of occurrances, traffic flow maps and personal injury and accident spot maps would be included, he said. The Mayor today received an offer from an Ann Arbor, Mich., firm of engineers to make a thorough survey for $5150. The periodic compulsory ato tests were suggested by the Hoosier Motor Club after inspections on a free lane here last week showed one out of four cars had defective brakes. Mr. Kern said he would confer with the Safety Board on the offer. The Mayor and Chief Morrissey vesterday told the Board they would launch an extensive survey soon and that the Chief would start a record system, in an effort to cut down Marion County’s accident and death toll, which has reached 88 this year.

It’s true that a good talker usually has a wide acquaintance, but if - you want - to have real close friends you have to be a good listener. Anytime you see two women who have struck up a beautiful and lasting friendship, - you will notice that one of ‘em does all the talkin’ while the other one listens quietly.

JOEL BAKER LOSES PLEA FOR SALARY

Board Rejects Claim for Job In March.

A salary claim filed by Joel A. Baker asking $333.75 for services rendered as Marion County Welfare Director ‘during March, has been rejected by County Commissioners, it was made known today. The Legislature passed a measure March 3, ousting Baker as director. On “March 6, Virgil Shepard; of the State Welfare Department, was appointed to Baker's post temporarily. Six days later, Thomas Neal, present director, was

appointed by the State Welfare Board. . Commissioners John Newhouse

said he and other commissioners were willing to approve Baker's salary during the few days - of March hefore he was ousted.

Neal Claim Approved

“We will not allow his full claim, however, unless we are mandated to do so by some court ruling,” Mr. Newhouse said. Commissioners last week approved Mr. Neal's claim of $877 for salary from March 12 to June 1 after weeks of dispute. “We certainly will not be placed in the position of having approved two salaries for the same period without some court order,” Clarence Wheatley, Commisisoners’ president, said. Mr. Neal's salary was held up for two months after the previous Marion County Welfare Board refused to recognize the new director as legal succesor to Baker. The Board which named Baker as director resigned six weeks ago when the State Welfare Board

threatened to bring mandamus pro-"

ceedings against it. A new County Welfare Board, appointed by Circuit Judge Earl R. Cox, approved Neal's salary.

KERN ASSERTS CITY PAY RAISE 18 INEVITABLE

Urges Virtually 100 Per Cent Boost for 200 in Lower Bracket.

ACTION IS INDICATED

Hints Restoration of Cuts And General Raise Will Be Asked.

Mayor Kern today advocated practically a 100 per cent pay increase for approximately 200 city employees in the lower wage brackets and said that a general pay increase for the City’s other

2000 employees is “inevitable.” The Mayor made his recommendation for higher wages for the laborers in a speech before the Apartment Owners Association at its luncheon meeting in the Hotel Washington. “You can't expect good work from people receiving $9.40 a week,” the Mayor said, referring to the 200. “They should be paid a minimum of at least $18 a week.” Those he referred to are employed in the street, sewer and park departments and hospital. Mayor Kern said that provision for the increase should be made when the budget for 1938 is drafted. He intimated that provision also should be made at that time for a general increase and restoration of pay cuts made during the depression. He added that a restoration made in police and firemen's pay last year was no more than an “adjustment.” “You can’t cut government costs below the point where they are uneconomical ” the Mayor said. He added that government cannot be efficient with present salaries. “But I'm concerned chiefly with wages in the lower brackets,” the Mayor said, explaining that he was not “advocating” a general increase.

LABOR TROUBLES BOB UP FOR PEACEMAKER

Thomas Hutson, State Labor Commissioner, - today had a formal complaint from one of his own employees. Mr. Hutson said his staff had been so busy negotiating settlements of labor ‘disputes that his men have averaged more than 15 hours daily work. Today, Stanton A. Sweeney, State Conciliator, filed his ‘complaint,” alleging overwork and giving the number of employees involved in the complaint as “one.” | Mr. Hutson is hopeful he will not have a sit-down strike in his own office. 2

By United Press WASHINGTON, June 9.—President Roosevelt proposed today that Congress start a new 160 million dollar shipbuilding program to provide the United States with an adequate merchant marine. In a surprise memorandum message, the President advised and asked approval'of the plan to “build the best and. most modern ships— and build them right away.” The Maritime Commission planned to facilitate immediate construction of 28 new vessels as Congress undertook consideration of Mr. Roosevelt's request. Commission Chairman Joseph P. Kennedy announced that “certain definite companies” have informed him that they plan to begin work on that number of ships as soon as feasible. Mr. Roosevelt asked Congress to appropriate 10 million dollars immediately and authorize the commission to spend 150 million dollars additional before 1940. The entire program would add 95 ships to the merchant fleet. They would include a super-liner of the Manhattan - Washington type, 60 cargo ships, 24 passenger and cargo ships and 10 tankers.

TAYLOR DEATH ARRESTS NEAR, POLICE REPORT

1 Suspect Never Appeared In 15-Year-Old Case Before, Claim.

NEW EVIDENCE FOUND

Indianapolis,

Unfired Slug Expected to Help Solve Movie Colony Shooting.

By United Press LOS ANGELES, June 9.—Capt. Bert Wallis of the Police Homicide Squad said authorities are preparing to make several arrests today or tomorrow in the 15-year-old mystery

slaying of William Desmond Taylor, movie director and sweetheart of Mary Miles Minter. One person under suspicion never has been mentioned in the case before, he said. Capt. Wallis said new evidence had been discovered which virtually solves the case, in the opinion of the police. 7 Part of this evidence he described as an unfired bullet, identical with the slug that killed Taylor. Alleged Threats Revealed Threats made against Taylor's life have been described by a woman who has never been questioned, Capt. Wallis said. - Taylor, who boosted Miss Minter to fame as the blond queen of the silent films, was shot in the back in his bungalow in Hollywood, Feb. 1, 1922. Miss Minter rushed to his

| home and collapsed.

A month ago, wien she appeared before the county grand jury in the latest intermittent revivals of the case, Miss Minter still said: “He was the only man I ever loved.” Also witnesses before .the grand jury were her mother, Mrs. Charlotte Shelby, and her sister, Margaret Fillmore. ] The newly discovered bullet was of 32-caliber, Capt, Wallis said, and ballistics experts termed it identical to the slug from Taylor's back. Capt. Wallis said a witness told authorities the unfired cartridge was in a gun given him by another person. The witness said he threw the slug away. Police have recovered the bullet from the place it has lain, 14 years. ;

Capt. Wallis said the evidence has

given police a new line on the identity of the man seen hurrying from the Taylor bungalow after the shot was heard.

Need for Co-operation Among Countries Is Emphasized.

By United Press ' PHILADELPHIA, June 9. —Secrefary of State Cordell Hull today called upon the university graduates of 1937 to rally behind the Government’s program to increase international co-operation, world trade and world peace.

Only by such efforts, he said, could the 20th Century be molded into the “golden age of fruition” which the political, social, "industrial and technological progress of the 18th and 19th Centuries indicated it should be. He warned that failure to achieve world unity by international cooperation and a stabilized world trade would point the world more directly than now toward dictatorships and the loss of human liberties. “Questions of overwhelming import confront us today,” Secretary Hull said in an address at the commencement exercises of the University of Pennsylvanija.. “Experimentation with various forms of social and political organization have so far only served to prove the sterling worth of the basic principles which emerged out of the fermentation of the 18th Century.

War Is Terrible

“Human liberty.is never more ‘deeply appreciated than when it is temporarily eclipsed. Democracy, as a form of government, is never more ardently desired than after it has been brutally brushed aside by the ruthless hand of a dictator. . . “War is terrible in terms of physical destruction and moral deterioration. “To me, peace and co-operation among nations, as well as between individuals and groups within nations are indispensable if the 20th Century is to bring to fruition the form of the highest level of civilized existence ever attained by mankind.
