SLICE HINTED IN $1.28 CITY LEVY

Some Councilmen Foresee Attempt to Cut 1938 Tentative Rate.

With a Civil City tax levy of $1.28 tentatively approved, some City Councilmen indicated today an effort might be made to cut off 2 cents more when the proposed budget for

1938 comes up for final passage Monday night. They indicated they would urge a blanket 2-cent reduction levy, to offset the tendency of some departmental heads to ask for more than they need since transfer of funds will not be allowed next year. The tentative $1.28 figure cents less than that asked in original department requests and 14 cents above the rate for this year. Mandatory pay raises for police and firemen account for 8 cents of the increase.

Seek Levy Decrease,

Councilmen urging the additional 2-cent slash said they would ask that funds now in the proposed budget remain unchanged, but the levy be decreased necessitating savings throughout the year. They said part of the funds might be raised by an expected increase in miscellaneous revenue receipts, including license fees. William H. Book, Chamber of Commerce vice president, yesterday urged the estimated revenues not be raised. said the estimates were “fair” that an increase made to’reduce the levy might endanger an estimated balance of about $69,000 expected for 1938. Council made minor cuts of $4612 vesterday, bringing the total amount which has been taken from the original departmental requests $8.261.738 to $399,136, exclusive of reductions in salary restorations as asked. These will total between $50,600 and $75,000. Ed Eckstein, South Side Civic Club resident, today announced a

delegation would attend Monday's | Council meeting to protest removal | of the one-cent track elevation re- |

quest from the budget. South Side residents have been campaigning for the elevations for several years. |

She charged in the suit to break her contract that Warners have been casting her “in parts and plays of inferior quality,” and that they added injury to insult by posting her name on a sort of super-colos- | sal black list, in the best movie traditions. This list, she explained, is an inter-studio register, which bars any other producers even from whispering that maybe they'd “like to hire her away from Warners. Miss Francis asked the court to

force her employers to tear up the contract and rub her name from the list, so she can shop around for parts which call for something more than a pretty back installea in a backless gown.

visit the fairyland that is Hoosierland's biggest show. They were greeted by a sight always the same yet always new. The Indiana State Fair has something of the circus in it—you always know what to expect. Yet there were new exhibits to be viewed—new developments in manufacture, in agriculture, exhibits

new faces. Autos Line Up at Gates

By 7:30 a. m., cars stood in long lines waiting entrance at the main gate. C. D. McComb, for 17 years Fair wholesale concessionaire, laughed and shouted, “It's positively the biggest Fair I've ever seen.’ As crowds milled about, owners | and attendants took their cattle for | the morning walk—they have to be | walked each day, for the concrete in the Cattle Barn is hard on their hooves, attendants said. Althcugh most of the livestock arrived yesterday, some continued to enter the grounds after darkness and even this morning late arrivals showed up. Last evening was made spectacular by the noise of livestock being unloaded and the glare of truck headlights stabbing through dust clouds and darkness. An attraction for the early crowds was the Women’s Building, where the arts exhibits were judged. Also housed in the Women's Building were the 4-H Clubs girls’ exhibits. Seventeen-year-old Marybelle Halstead won the roomimprovement contest from 54 entrants in a special contest, and thereby earned the right to represent Indiana in the national contest at Chicago in December. Miss Halstead, flushed with pleasure at her victory, laughed and said, “I don’t know what I'd have done to solve the rug problem if one of our heifers hadn’t died.” Her exhibit included a tanned cow hide, cured with the hair left on—a practice common in pioneer days but rare now. Improvements she made included repapering and repainting, making over a bedstead, making her own dressing table, and making her own wastebasket of masonite. Applied arts division winners were announced. In commenting on the exhibit, the judge, Wallie H. MecBride, Ft. Wayne, said: “In the applied arts division the artist is put to a real test not only as a designer but as to his or her ability to carry to completion the idea he or she wishes to create. This involves knowledge in design and color and its adoption to a utilitarian purpose, “We have passed the age in which we decorated objects for purely art's

Text of Charges Against Leach

The text of Mr. Stivers charges against Capt. Leach

follows: I, Don F. Stiver, as Superintendent of the State Police of Indiana, do hereby prefer charges against Captain Matt Leach of the Indiana State Police, and, reserving the right to file additional charges, do | hereby charge:

1. That Capt. Matt Leach wil-

fully violated the provisions of

Chapter 299 of the Acts of the In-| information

diana General Assembly of 1935 in that he has wilfully failed and refused to co-operate and exchange information with Federal police forces to-wit, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, in the prevention and detection of crimes and the apprehension of criminals,

2. That Capt. Matt Leach wilfully disabeyed the rules and regulations | of the Department of State Police in that he wilfully failed and refused to co-operate and exchange with Federal police

Railways, South Side track elevation, which again was killed yesterday by action of the City Council in budget consideration; safety, which suffered the same fate; and the proposed Municipal Auditorium. “All were idealistically planned,” he said, “but they were turned from their planned courses by special groups. It is impossible to satisfy everyone. At the beginning everyone is in favor of a project. But in the end you are subject to criticism no matter what you do. Can’t Please All “Everyone now favors the Municipal Auditorium. But it is not

the site. Everyone is interested in track elevation, but at the same time they do not want to increase the tax rate. “A ‘good’ contract with Indianapolis Railways was worked out at one time, but Council attempted to get more revenue from it.” Mr. Kern sighed. He said it was with “deep regret” he had learned that Council had cut out requested appropriations in the budget for the South Side track elevation and Chief Morrissey’s proposed accident prevention bureau. He had urged both. Mr. Kern went into the office of the chief executive. He said goodhy. He left by the side door, went down the elevator, and left the building.

Clauer Favored ‘For Party Post

Marion County Democratic leaders today aligned their forces in | preparation for a precinct commit- | teeman’s caucus which is to name | a new County Committee chairman. Leading the field of candidates to | succeed Walter C. Boetcher, who resigned when he was named Mayor this week, was William E. Clauer, 12th Ward Chairman and long-time organization man. But while unofficial indications pointed to Mr. Clauer, other forces still sought approval for three other prospective County chairmen. They are Louis A. Weiland, 17th Ward chairman and state excise division attorney; David Lewis, Indianapolis attorney, and Henry O. Goett, deputy prosecutor and 12th District Chairman. At least two of the possible selec- | tions are slated to run for office in the 1938 elections, probable elim- | inating them from consideration. | Mayor Boetcher today declined to | comment on the Marion County

Innovations in Facilities

The crowd today found new roads and drives and marking signs aiding traffic facilities. An innovation was the new parking lot on the race- | track infield, where between 3000 and 4000 cars could be accommodated. No judging is scheduled for tomor-

row, War Veterans’ Day. Thrills are scheduled, among them the crashing of an airplane into a house before the grandstand by Capt. F. F. Frakes.

Children are to be admitted free again, as they were today. Governor Townsend is to address the joint Sunday school meeting of the State Fair School girls and the 4-H Club boys at 9:30 a. m. in the Indiana University Building. He is to speak on “A Charge I Have to Keep.” Last night, Governor and Mrs. Townsend and Lieutenant-Governor and Mrs. Henry F. Schricker were dinner guests at the school. The 4-H Club boys are to be hosts at their camp to the girls for supper tonight. A puppy match in the Dog and Cat Show Building is scheduled for tomorrow.
