SUMMER FIGHT DUE ON COURT, STOKES LEARNS

Senate to Take Up Bill

.- Tuesday, Leaders Say

After Pow-wow.

By THOMAS L. STOKES Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, June 29.—Congress is headed for a midsummer battle over the Roosevelt court plan

that may equal in bitterness, if not surpass, the League of Nations debate. It also may leave a permanent scar upon the Democratic Party. The leaders, after week-end conferences with the President at Jef--ferson Island, served notice that the court bill would be brought before the Senate next Tuesday. The party pow-wow—at which Mr. Roosevelt met some House members for the first time—served generally to create a better feeling and a more co-operative atmosphere in Congress, but it did not temper the defiance of bitter-enders on the judiciary issue. Senator Burke (D. Neb.) said the “battalion of death” against the bill would consist of 35 or more Senators who would be divided into squads of five each—five for each day of the week—to filibuster the court bill or any compromise that called for “packing” the Supreme Court, even by one additional member. : Because of the bitterness among Democrats, the debate is likely to take a personal tone and alienate some Democrats who otherwise would remain within the Roosevelt fold.

The President’s forces have de- - vised the strategy by which they hope to put the court bill and other New Deal measures through at this session—and the session, it is agreed generally now, is likely to run into the autumn. Other measures in which there is general popular interest—including the wage-hour bill, the housing bill, the farm-tenant bill—will be rushed as quickly as possible to the Senate calendar, with the hope that public pressure for thése bills will help break the Senate filibuster on the court bill. Chairman Black (D. Ala.) said he hoped to have reports from his Labor Committee this week on the wage-hour and housing bills. As for the court bill itself, the Administration will press for a compromise in the Senate. The present plan is to offer a two-edged compromise consisting of (1) the Hatch amendment to the original Roosevelt bill, limiting the Supreme Court enlargement to the addition of one justice a year, and (2) a constitutional amendment for compulsory retirement of judges over 75

But the compromise which finally comes out of the Senate—if one comes—may be the constitutional: amendment only, plus the lower court reforms provided in the original Roosevelt measure. It is by no means certain that the Hatch plan can be put through. Administration lieutenants claim up to 54 Votes for it, kut one leader said he could not see more than 50 sure votes. Various parliamentary maneuvers are being discussed. The opponents, after the bill has been discussed for some time, may move to send it

back to committee for further study. |

DICE, NOT BANDITS,

. CAUSED LOSS, CLAIM

Loss of $8 in a dice game and fear of his wife's pointed comments prompted Howard Hudson, 48, of 1306 W. 26th St., to fabricate a story of robbery by two hitch-hikers, detectives today quoted him. as saying. Headquarters records show that Hudson first told police two youths got into his car last night, forced him to drive them to Rushville where they took his billfold. After detectives talked to him at his home today, they said Hudson signed a statement denying the robber story.

IRWIN INDICTED FOR 3 MURDERS IN GEDEON FLAT

State Asks Attorney to Permit Immediate Arraignment.

(Editorial, Page 14)

By United Press NEW YCRK, June 29.—Robert Irwin was indicted for murder three times by the county grand jury today—once for each of the three persons he strangled and stabbed on Beekman Hill last Easter Sunday. Les sthan 40 minutes after it began hearing the case the jury presented the indictments to Judge William Allen in General Sessions Court. Prosecuting officials sought to obtain the consent of Irwin’s attorney to an immediate arraignment. The indictments charged the former insane asylum inmate with strangling artist's model Veronica Gedeon, her mother, Mrs. Mary Gedeon, and stabbing with an icepick Frank Byrnes, who boarded with them. The grand jury heard only seven witnesses. The most dramatic was Mrs. Ethel Gedeon Kudner, Veronica's .sister, for whom Irwin cherished the mad’ passion that drove him to murder when she married another. It was understood she told of letters from Irwin in which she was threatened with death if she persisted in marrying Joseph Kudner. The sculptor has confessed he killed the three while waiting in the Gedeon apartment to murder Mrs. Kudner. .

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

They Just Won't Listen

Mike Lynch, who has been calling trains at the Union Station 22 years sometimes has his doubts about the traveling public.

For example—they don’t understand him when he calls trains." They ask silly questions. Many have never ridden on trains before. 4 They always barely make the train in breathless fashion—or they get to the station hours in advance and sit around and jitter. Mr. Lynch likes his job, though. There always is something going on in a railway station. Welldressed businessmen arrive in taxis with expensive luggage, buy newspapers and climb the steps to the tracks hurriedly. Mysterious iinknowns board trains for far-off places in the dead of night. : It's Glamourous Business

Travel itself infests everyday people with an aura of glamour. No man is himself while eating a $1.25 meal on a diner at night, for he never will see the fellow across the table again, and can tell him anything. Mr.- Lynch knows all this. He helps these people shed their everyday air, and attain the Cinderella unreality of travel. As he stands before the bulletin board, marking arrival and departure times, Mr. Lynch watches the ebb and flow of the crowd before him. But these people who are so glamorous to each other and to those village station sitters who watch the trains pass in the night are - just people who don’t know

| their way around his castle to Mr.

Lynch. Young and old they don’t see why the train can’t wait a while

Puzzled Travelers Puzzle Veteran Train Caller Here

Says, But He Likes His Job.

When They Should, He

eral times when people would be admitted inside the gates, then would stand for a while and finally say, “Well, when do we go up?? They thought they were on an elevator. But even worse is the way people can’t understand Mr. Lynch and his fellow professionals when they call the trains. He can explain it only by saying, “They don't listen.” They Understand

Because he doesn’t have any trouble understanding either himself or his colleague, Arthur Worley, who has been train calling for 30 years down at the station.

As Mr. Worley, from a gate in the rear, bellowed out a new arrival, Mr. Lynch was asked, “Can you understand him now?” “Certainly,” said Mr. Lynch, and explained the train. It sounded simple enough. Mr. Lynch denied the charge that train callers. attend a special school to learn to butcher the English language. Train-calling was more of a job for them. They don’t know how to find their luggage, their loved ones or their liquor. They don’t even know how to get up to the tracks. In fact, Mr. Lynch recalled sevin the old days before the telautograph was put in use.

An Intricate Device The telautograph is an ingenious instrument. It records, on 19 receiving stations in the depot, reports arrivals from three sending stations. One of these sending stations is located at Delaware St. and the tracks, reporting inbound trains from the east; another at Senate Ave, and the tracks, reporting west-

‘ber of the train, the time it passes

‘and redecorated. . This is done every

| office this morning, the combination

ern inbound trains, and the third is

the telegraph office in the depot itself. They send on the wire the num-

them, and the track it is on. This is received at the bulletin board centrally located in the depot. The train caller marks it up in chalk, then when the train arrives, or prepares to depart, he goes back to the gate and calls it. . That is when people don’t listen.

First Depot in ’88 There are just the two head gatemen here. Their jobs “Sere simplified about 12 years ago, when the new addition to the station

was built and the tracks lifted over=head. The original Union depot was built in 1888. The building is having its face lifted now. In the center of the lobby workmen have placed a towering scaffold reaching to the top of the rotunda. It’s being painted

three or four years. Mr. Lynch thinks it’s going to look like a million dollars when it’s finished. Maybe it will look too well for the traveling public, in fact. But there is hope for the traveling public. The majority of the people, Mr. Lynch thinks, will get more educated to trains as time goes on.” They still don’t listen to him, though. .

BURGLARS BATTER LOCK, LEAVE $100

“This safe is open; help yourself.” Thus read a sign on an unlocked safe in the office of the William H. Armstrong Surgical Supply Co., first floor, 229 N. Pennsylvania St. Samuel H. Greensburg, manager, told police that when he opened the

had been battered off the strong box, but about $100 in it was untouched and the only thing missing was the sign. He put the sign on the safe after yeggs had cracked it on two previous occasions. The same safe blowers went to the office of the Marion Music Co. on
