JUVENILE HOME NOT ~ SAFE, STATE FIRE

AID WARNS COUNTY

Wiring Is Blaze Hazard, Clem Smith Tells Wheatley in Letter Urging Immediate Remedial Action Be Taken.

WE ARE POWERLESS NOW, IS REPLY

Commissioners Reported Seeking Lease on New York St.; Auxiliary Head Calls It Unsuitable as Permanent Site.

Warned by State Fire Marshal Clem Smith that the

present Marion County Juven quate and unsafe,” County C

ile Detention Home is ‘“inadeommissioners said today they

were seeking to lease a building on W. New York St. near

Military Park.

Mrs. William H. Hodgson,

tention Home Auxiliary which

president of the Juvenile Dehas been active in attempting

to secure a new and better Detention Home, said the proposed

site “is not by far adequate for

a permanent home and should

be considered only a temporary move.” Although Mrs. Hodgson said “the State Fire Marshal's

office has indicated it would a repairs were made,” Mr. Smith said: “We have received no official request to 1nvestigate the proposed new site and cannot do so until requested.” Meanwhile, the State official urged County Commissioners to take “immediate action” regarding the present site at 225 E. Michigan St. Clarence K. Wheatley, Commissioners’ chairman, said: “We are powerless at the present time to move children out of the Detention Home.” Then he disclosed efforts were being made to lease the W. New York St. building, formerly the Governor's mansion and now being operated by Center Township and the Salvation Army as a home for aged men and transients. leo X. Smith, attorney for Center Township Trustee Hannah Noone, said today that plans “still are uncertain” for moving the Township's home. Under one proposal, he said, the Township would sell the building to Commissioners for a detention home site. He added that he was “personally doubtful” if the Commissioners would accept the building because of its location. He explained County authorities prefer to have Juvenile Court in or near any new detention home. Needs Repairs, He Says

The building's condition also might make it unacceptable to the County, the attorney said. “While it is not in poor condition,” he said, “it needs some repairs.” He also added that he was un- | certain “if the Salvation Army would be willing to move.” Mrs. Hodgson said she had inspected the proposed site on W. New York St., and “transfer to those quarters would be the best thing that could be done now.”

“Lack Adequate Room”

“The fire hazard at the present home is horrible enough, but aduaed to this is the lack of adequate room for segregation of diseased and healthy children,” she said.

“The W. New York St. building | is large enough to work out a plan |

of segregation. “However, it is not by far adequate for a permanent home and should be considered only as a temporary move.” In his letter to Mr. Wheatley on Oct. 15, Fire Marshal Clem Smith wrote: “This building does not meet with the requirements of the State Building Code, it being of ordinary construction and more than three stories in height, whereas the building code requires that institutional (Turn to Page Three)

SEES REPEAL OF PROFIT TAX LAW

‘Ludlow Says Present Act Is Blow to Both Labor And Business.

(Editorial, Page 12)

Rep. Louis Ludlow today predicted the repeal or radical modification of the undistributed profits tax at the next regular session of Congress. As one of the few who originally voted against the law, Mr. Ludlow reiterated his original stand that the act was unfavorable to both business and labor. He said he was advocating its repeal now because “employment sat good wages depends on whether our business concerns have the financial strength to furnish employment steadily.” “When the county dissipates its surpluses with a heavy and almost confiscatory tax, it breaks the backbone of strength which enables companies to weather the stress of depressions,” he said. Mr. Ludlow declared he knew of one concern which maintained a “rainy weather” reserve of onemillion dollars. Depressions did not force that concern to cut employees from its payroll. He pointed out that many contracts for the purchase of businesses or expansion of growing businesses have enabled honest and frugal businessmen to become well established by meeting deferred payments from accumulated profits. “It is not so much the large corporation that feel the effects of the confiscatory tax. Many have reached the point of maximum expansion, and when the tax eats into their surpluses, they merely shut | down an operation or two and re- | trench,” he said. “The small business man, whose |reserve is eaten up by this sort of [tax has no such leeway and must | close his business.” He said he was not certain that Congress would consider the repeal of this law at the special session this month, but fel; certain the matter would come to a vote in January. He said he would do all he could to force an early vote on it.

$524,000 Sewer Projects Favored for North Side

Construction of new sewers at a cost of $524,300 to relieve the North Side drain congestion was recommended by City Engineer Henry B. Steeg today in a formal report to the Works Board and Mayor Boetcher.

He recommended that tion of two new drains and repair of several old ones, as a cost of $189,300 be “started immediately.” Regarding the North Side drain situation as an emergency, Mayor Boetcher urged speedy action ifr order to take advantage of Works Progress Administration aid before the July 1 project deadline. The Mayor called a conference of the Works Board and WPA officials for Friday to prepare for the work.

Survey Data Studied

The recommendations were based upon data collected in a drain survey conducted by engineers for several weeks. The survey was ordered by the Works Board as result of constant complaints from North Side resident that their basements were flooded after every heavy rain, Mr. Steeg recommended that $165,000 be allotted at once for a new overflow sewer from 38th St. and College Ave. to Fall Creek to relieve the storm water load from the College and Central Aves. sewers. He said $10,000 more should be spent now on another new sewer extending from 34th St. and Carrollton Ave. to Fall Creek. Repairs to College Ave. 38th St., and Ruckle St. sewers were recommended for the immediate program.

$235,000 Project Favored

In the North Side sewer program over a period of years, Mr. Steeg recommended that a new sanitary sewer be constructed from 38th St. and College Ave., to 45th and Pennsylvania Sts. at a cost of $235,000. He recommended another $100,000 be spent in the near future for extension of the Fall Creek interreptor sewer from Ruckie St. to Balsam Ave.

RULES TRAFFIC LAWS IGNORE TROLLEYS

(Another Story, Page 7)

Municipal Court ruled today that no traffic ordinance governs the trackless trolley and therefore ii can do no traffic wrong. Fred Wilson, trolley operator, was charged with failing to obey a traffic officer's signal. In the affidavit, the vehicle was called a streetcar. Indianapolis Railways, Inc., attorneys proved the vehicle was a trackless trolley, and Judge Charles Karabell dismissed the case, saying there was no ordinance to govern such vehicles. Thirty-five persons were convicted of traffic offenses, and were fined $359. Fourteen speeders were find $178; 12 traffic signal violators were fined $86; six preferential street violators were fined $61 and

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3 (U. P.). — Republicans increased their membership in the national House of Representatives to 90 in yesterday's elections, but their gains failed to have material effect on one of the heaviest Democratic majorities in history of the

lower House. The Congressional lineup today after balloting on Congressmen in New York and Virginia showed: PEMOCTALS ..vvvvvanrrrrevee 329 Republican .......... Farmer-Labor . Progressives ..... Vacancies The one clear-cut Republican victory in yesterday’s balloting came in New York's 17th “Silk-Stocking” Disfrict. Bruce Barton, advertising executive, defeated Stanley Osserman (D), and George Backer (Labor), to succeed to the seat vacated by the death of Rep. Theodore Peyser (D.). Victories in two other New York districts retained G. O. P. control of two more seats. Lewis Rockefeller of Hudson (R. defeated Nancy Schoonmaker (D.) of Woodstock in the 27th District. Ralph A. Gamble (R.), former assemblyman, ‘defeated Homer A. Stebbins (D.) of Hastings-on-Hud-son in the 25th District. In Virginia, Dave Sattersield Jr. Richmond attorney (D.), was unopposed for the Congressional seat vacated by the death of Rep. Andrew J. Montague, former Democratic Governor. Congressional leaders found varying meanings today in results of the elections but seemed agreed that no national trend was revealed unless it was labor's interest in independent political action.

READING IS CHOSEN MAYOR OF DETROIT

C. I. 0. Badly Beaten in Its First Major Test.

DETROIT, Nov. 3 (U. P.).—Final results of Detroit's municipal election today recorded overwhelming defeat for the C. XI. O. in its first

effort to gain control of a major city’s government. The C. I. O. candidate for Mayor, Patrick H. O'Brien, and its entire slate of five Council aspirants were deluged under a wave of 419,061 ballots which broke all Detroit voting records. The surge of anti-C. I. O. votes carried into the Mayor's chair Rich# ard W. Reading, veteran City Clerk, who held the indorsement of the A. F. of L., and returned six incumbents to the nine-man Common Council along with three newcomers opposed to the “labor” slate. ~ Final returns for Mayor from the city's 918 precincts gave: Reading O’Brien Of the five C. I. O. candidates, only one made a strong bid. Throughout the voting, Maurice Sugar, U. A. W. attorney, maintained a close grasp on 10th position. Reading, 55 years old, bald, at present Detroit's City Clerk, in municipal office for 17 years, issued this statement after he received O'Brien's congratulatory telegram conceding his victory: “I shall enter office unhampered by promises to any man or woman, to any group, seeking only the welfare and the best interests of our

‘history, carried his Repub-

peoples.”

NEW YORK; Nov. 3 (U. P.).—Mayor La Guardia, first “reform” mayor to succeed himself in New York City’s

lican-American Labor PartyFusion ticket to an overwhelming victory today that stripped Tammany Hall of the last of the power it had

wielded for almost 150 years.

Tammany’s rout extended to the important district attorneyship of New York County (Manhattan)— controlled by Tammany without interruption for 20 years—which was won by the youthful “rackets buster,” Thomas E. Dewey. Official and complete returns from the city’s 3910 election districts showed that Mr. La Guardia won by a plurality of 454425 votes over Jeremiah T. Mahoney, his Tam-many-New Deal Democratic opponent. The vote:

Mr. Dewey, against whom the full force of the Tammany machine had been directed, defeated Harold W. Hastings, the Tammany candidate, by an unofficial plurality of 108,496 votes. Complete returns from 1055 districts gave Dewey, 325,420; Hastings, 216,924,

Wigwam Cloaked in Gloom The Tammany wigwam, in contrast to its happy days of “Jimmy” Walker and his spats and Al Smith and his brown derby, was cloaked in gloom as the crushing defeat became apparent to the few optimistic enough to gather in its auditorium last night for a “victory celebration.” The anti-Tammany sweep was sufficiently strong to elect Joseph D. McGoldrick, Fusion candidate for controller, and Newbold Morris, Fusion candidate for president of the City Council, and to give the Mayor control of the Board of Estimate, which regulates the city’s finances and patronage. Tammany found slight consolation but not much, in the election of James J. Lyons as Borough President of the Bronx, Daniel E. Finn Jr., as Sheriff of New York County, and the re-election of Miss Martha Byrne as register of Manhattan borough. Even Lose in Strong Hold Even in Manhattan, its stronghold, Tammany’s candidate for Borough President, Timothy J. Sullivan, lost to the Fusion candidate, Stanley M. Isaacs. Fusion candidates were re-elacted in the Boroughs of Brooklyn, Queens and Richmond. Bruce Barton, advertising executive, was elected to Congress on the Republican ticket in the 17th (silk stocking) District to succeed the late Rep. Theodore Peyser, Democrat. Mr. Barton piled up a substantial lead over his opponents, Stanley Osserman, Democrat, and George Backer, American Labor Party candidate. National issues were not involvad in the election, although postmaster General Farley, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, campaigned for Mahoney. Mahoney also was supported by Governor Lehman and Senator Wagner. Mr. La Guardia, always friendly to the New Deal, was supported by Secretary Ickes.

F. D. R. Phones Congratulations From his home in Hyde Park, President Roosevelt telephoned congratulations toc Mr. La Guardia. The Mayor issued this statement after talking with Mr. Roosevelt: “I wish to thank the people of New York. The people know what

What Will Happen Next Nobody Knows.

By THOMAS L. STOKES Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.—By his re-election as New York's Mayor, the squat and bellicose Fiorello H. La Guardia, Arizona-born son of an Italian bandmaster in the U. 8S. Army, rises to new prominence on the national political scene which daily grows more confused. He broke New York tradition by carrying a reform administration to victory for a second term. In so doing he shattered—at least for a long time, possibly forever—the ancient Tammany Hall, once potent in national Democratic party affairs and long a symbol of boss-ridden city government. Likewise crushed was Postmaster General Farley's hope of getting his grip on New York City preparatory to building up a local Democratic organization that would further his own political ambitions. The victory of the aggressive La Guardia attracted commanding interest among the numerous contests, municipal and otherwise, in yesterday’s elections in 15 states.

Labor Shows Power

But equally interesting in future political calculations was the participation of organized labor as a well-knit political unit in various contests, effectively as a supporting phalanx in the New York Mayor's re-election and in the re-election | of a Democratic mayor in Pitts | burgh, but less effectively where | it struck out more on its own. In | Detroit, for instance, the C. I. O. | candidate was defeated decisively, | Here, however, and even more so in| Akron, the C. I. O. made a rather | remarkable showing for

its first | venture into precinct politics. It | also lost its fight to elect a mayor

in Canton, O. Future Is Still Mystery

What La Guardia’s political future might be no one can tell just now. He carried perhaps the most diverse political following anyone ever had, | embracing as it did the legions of | organized labor in the American | Labor Party, Republicans, inde- | pendent Democrats, big businessmen and Communists, His next step may be the governorship or the Senate. His political future may be determined by what comes, in the way of party alignments, out of the boiling of political elements now going on in this country. The shak-ing-up process is very evident. Not to be overlooked is young Thomas E. Dewey, elected New York's district attorney. He is expected to continue vigorously his war on New York's rackets, and his growing reputation may carry him far politically.

By United Press Two results stood out today in the counting of votes in yesterday's off-year elections in 15 states—the collapse of Tammany Hall as a power In New York City and the defeat of John L. Lewis’ C. I. O. in its first concerted effort to win control of a majority city government. Mayor La Guardia became the first “reform” Mayor in New York's history to succeed himself. He over=whelmed his Tammany-Democratic opponent, Jeremiah T. Mahoney, and carried his running mates, including the youthful “rackets bust= er” Thomas A. Dewey, to an overe whelming victory. The C. I. O. lost its fight to make Patrick H. O'Brien, Democrat, May« or of Detroit, and failed to place any of its candidates on the nine member City Council. The new Mayor, Richard W. Reading, received the belated support of the A. F. L. Despite the reversal, Homer rtin of the C. I. O. declared that the returns showed that a “new and powerful factor hag entered the city’s political life.” Mr. Lewis said in Washington toe day he considers that results in state and municipal electoins reflect “distinct progress for labor.” He ine dicated that Labor's Non-Partisan League for Political Action will take an active part in the 1938 Congressional campaign. Issues Formal Statement He issued a formal statement as league chairman in which he ine terpreted the results as encouraging to the trades union political move ment, The C. I.-C. and A. F. of L. fought side by side for mayoralty candidates in Akron and Canton, O., but lost in both cities to Republican ine cumbents. In Pittsburgh, the C. I. O. claimed partial credit for the re-election of Mayor Cornelius D. Scully, Demro=crat, while it hailed the election of in Duqueene and Clairton, Pa., both of whom are C. I. O. organizers. Two nationally known Democrats figured in the results. The colorful James M. Curley, Massachusetts’ original “Roosevelt man,” former Governor and former Mayor of Bos« tcn, was defeated in his political comeback. He had sought to enter City Hall for the third time, but found his career ruined by a 35« year-old school committeeman, M., J. Tobin, Moore Elected Governor The other prominent Democrat, U. S. Senator A. Harry Moore, was elected New Jersey Governor for the third time. With the backing of the powerful machine of Mayor Frank Hague of Jersey City, Moora defeated the Rev. Lester H. Clee, Presbyterian minister turned politie cal reformer. Jasper McLevy, New England's only Socialist mayor, won a fourth term as chief executive of Bridge~ port, Conn., piling up an overe whelming lead over his Republican and Democratic opponents.
