SCHOOL CITY'S FISCAL BUDGET BASIS RAPPED

Deficit in 1938 Is Certain, Book Says, Attacking Fund Request.

BOYD DEFENDS LEVY

Tax Board Told Slash in 1936-37 Rate Responsible For Present Needs.

Budget procedure of the Indianapolis School City was subject to a broadside attack by taxpayers’ organizations at a State Tax Board hearing today on the governmental unit’s request for a $3,005,553.20 emergency appropriation. This appropriation, which is included in the new School City budget, is to finance the City’s public educational system from July 1 to Dee. 31. Leading the attack were William H. Block, Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce executive vice president, and Harry Miesse, Indiana Taxpayers’ Association secretary-manager. Mr. Book attacked the budget because it was not based on the cal-

endar year and said it only was to extend until July 1, 1938.

Sees Need in 1938

“Where will the School Board be this time next year,” Mr. Book said. “If you budget in this manner you will have to apply for another emer-

gency appropriation to-pay expenses |-

for the last half of 1938. In 1938 such emergency appropriations will not be permitted under terms of an act by the last Legislature.” In defending the $1.07 levy on each $100 of taxable property as provided in the new 1937-38 budget, Alan Boyd, School Board president, said a rate reduction could not be made because their last year’s requested levy was cut 4 cents. The School City in the 1936-37 budget asked for a $1.11 rate. The slash. was made by the Marion County Tax Adjustment Board and the State Tax Board. Because of this reduction, school officials said, there is to be a $300,000 deficit by Jan. 1. - - . «

" Building Program Cut Mr. Book countered by pointing

lh reduced $600,000 annually and the School City received an increased revenue from the state amounting to $350,000 a year. Still, he said, the $1.07 rate asked in the new budget is the same as the levy approved for the old budget. Mr. Book was asked by school officials where he would make cuts. “That is your problem, and you have no right to shift that responsibility to the State Tax Board,” he answered,

Issues Prepared Statement In a prepared statement Mr. Book claimed that the. . Indianapolis School City is the only school corporation not conforming with the State Accounts Board and Tax Board plan -of making the calendar year the budget year. “The emergency appropriations to be considered are in effect merely one-half of the annual budget for a new fiscal year,” the statement continued. “How effective can review be this -fall if approval has been given to the first half of the budget under which practically all committments for the year will have been made?” The statement added that the review bodies will actually have no school Budget to review and any effort to allot the School City its reasonable proportionate part of the total tax rate will be futile.

By United Press

WILMINGTON, Del, June 29.— Two curly-haired, impetuous youngsters composed themselves today and listened solemnly while the Rev. Frederick Ashton, rector of Little Christ Church in Christiana Hundred, talked to them about the spiritual obligations they will undertake tomorrow. They were Franklin Delano Roosevelt Jr., 23, son of the President, and Ethel du Pont, 21-year-old daughter of the Eugene du Ponts, whose marriage will link the nation’s first family and its No. 1 industrial clan. The minister’s talk preceded rehearsal of the wedding ceremony by the bridal party and a full schedule of social events, among them a prenuptial celebration of young Roosevelt’s farewell to bachelorhood which will be given by his fellow members of Harvard's Fly Club tonight at the du Point estate, Owls Nest, Neither of the principals will participate in the rehearsal by the wedding party. In deference to tradition and superstition, Miss du Pont will not walk down the white satin-cov-ered aisle of Christ Church, which her ancestors founded, until the strains of the processional from Lohengrin give her the “cue” tomorrow. i Will Watch Rehearsal

She will, however, watch the rehearsal in order to be ready for her part in the “white-and-green” ceremony. The couple acquired the wedding license yesterday at Owls Nest, thereby disappointing a large crowd which had gathered at the office of Frank E. Haley, old-line Republican Justice of the Peace who for 40 years has supplied licenses to the du Ponts. Mr. Haley drove the eight miles (Turn to Page Three)

MEN IN DEATH OF TINY GIRLS

‘Handsome Young Man With Mustache’ Hunted In Triple Killing.

2 EX-CONVICTS DETAINED

Mob Fury Grows After

Bodies Are Found In Ravine.

By United Press . INGLEWOOD, Cal, June 29.— Twelve men were questioned by police today in the kidnap-slaying of three little girls, lured from play Saturday on the promise /they would be taken on. a “live .rabbit hunt.” Madeline, 7, and Melba Everett,

8, and Jeanette Stephens, 8, were.

taken to the Baldwin Hills, garroted, beaten, attacked and slain. Police sought a “handsome young man with a black mustache.” Fingerprints of the 12 men arrested were checked with those found on the mutilated bodies.

Highways Guarded

Sheriff’s deputies and’ state highway patrolmen guarded highways leading from southern California. Two brothers, Clark Wesley Ellsworth, 24, and Leroy Harvey Ellsworth, Los Angeles, were stopped by Newhall sheriff deputies at the Santa Clara ‘bridge because their 1927 Model T Ford roadster resem-= bled the description of a suspect's car. They denied all knowledge of the murders, but were booked as admitted ex-convicts in possession of a gun.. They were taken to the county jail at Los Angeles. Sheriff's deputies said they found a loaded gun in the car. Joining in the coast-wide search were police and sheriffs of all Pacific slope centers, with Federal agents standing by to enter the case in event it is learned the suspected car crossed state lines. Mob fury spread through Inglewood while police hinted the killer.

Howling Mob at Jail

Arrest of three suspects last night, all of whom were exonerated, was sufficient to draw a howling crowd of 1500 persons to the jail, prepared for a lynching. “This jail won't be strong enough to hold him if the officers get him,” they yelled. The three bodies were found in a ravine late yesterday by four Boy Scouts, members of a searching party of 1000 men and boys, including Federal agents, sheriffs, police and civilians, among whom wezxe 200 Legionnaires.

‘PEACE’ TERMED REDS’ DISGUISE

Chaillaux Flays Work of Some Groups as Un-American.

Homer L. Chaillaux, American Legion national Americanism director, today had told 500 Indianapolis persons that “many genuinely communistic groups in the United States are disguised as peace organizations.” He spoke last night in Cadle Tabernacle at a mass meeting sponsored by ‘United Squadrons, Inc., an organization formed recently to sponsor campaigns against communism, fascism and naziism. Dr. W. C. Aschanhort, Flora, who recently returned from a tour of Russia, also spoke, warning that “Christian democracy in the United States is imperiled by a growing menace of

communism.”

“These groups raise money from Americans under the guise of promoting peace, but the money actually is sent to Communists in Spain to help promote civil war,” the Legion leader charged. -

Alleges Y. W. C. A. Leader Red.

“I know of a national leader in the Y. W. C. A. who has been trying to tie up communistic activities with Christian groups in America. “The Pioneer Youth of America group is led by Communists and is teaching disrespect for the United States Government. There are movements in the United States to abolish the Boy Scouts and block any movement of Christianity,” he said. “There are 300 Communist newspapers in the United States all boring into Christian groups because we haven't exposed them. Every American should give us their time and energy to preserve the liberty that is ours,” Mr. Chaillaux concluded. Describing conditions he said he saw in Russia, Dr. Aschanhort said machinery is more important under the Communist Government than human lives. “If a person commits murder in (Turn to Page Three)

State Steel Peace Rests With Lewis, Governor Says.

DECISION IS NEAR

Hutson Confers in Capital to Get Union Reply.

Peace in Indiana’s® five-weeks-old steel strike “all depends on John Lewis and his organization,” Governor Townsend said this afternoon. He made this statement after a telephone conierence with State Labor Commissioner Thomas Hutson, who is in Washington to confer with Mr. Lewis, C. I. O. chief, and national Labor Department officials. The Governor said he had been told by a Federal conciliator during a telephone conference that ‘you have justification for hope of arriving at a satisfactory settlement.” “It all depends on C. I. O. on whether the C. I. O. decides to go along with us,” Mr. Townsend said. An estimated 20,000 workers are idle in the East Chicago plants of the Inland Steel Corp. and Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. After indicating that he would have a final decision from Washington by 3 p. m.,, Mr. Townsend said: “I wish we had 24 hours more. I'm done if they open the mills. My worry then would be to maintain peace and order.” Mill operators, who already have told the Governor that his plan was acceptable to them, have said they

4 p. m. today. It was reported that unless an agreement is reached by that time, they may attempt to open the plants tomorrow.

Ask for Grardsmen

Meanwhile, East Chicago merchants asked that National Guardsmen be sent to their city to preserve order, but the Governor again denied the request. He previously had turned down the plea of Mayor Andrew Rooney. Earlier, James. Robb, Indianapolis C. I. O. director, said after.a conference with Van Bittner, Midwest C. I. O. director, “there is little chance of the strikers giving accord to the proposal.” It was indicated that Mr. Hutson’s purpose of seeing Mr. Lewis was to obtain the latter's consent. Inland Steel Co. officials have given their verbal accord.

The Governor's plan would permit reopening of Indiana mills pending settlement of the sole strike issue— whether operators must sign written contracts with the C. I. O. A feared crisis in East Chicago was averted as both Inland and Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. of-

Adams of the state police to begin an investiga< {ion immediately “with the idea of finding the perpetrators.” . Police at Warren, O., sought Gus Hall, C. I.
