THE INDIANAPOLIS
$3,000,000 SET AS UNIVERSITY CAMPAIGN GOAL
Indianapolis Committee Sets Up Headquarters; Dr. Tilden Speaks.
The Indianapolis committee of
DePauw University’s Centennial Development program has established headquarters here for a campaign to raise $3,120,000 for endowment funds and improvements. Campaign efforts were spurred last night as university and campaign officials spoke before a meeting of several hundred alumni at the Broadway M. E. Church. Speakers said that a survey revealed that more than $3,000,000 is needed for a new endowment and additions to the Greencastle institu-
tions. Immediate Needs Listed
Immediate needs were listed as ' $1,270,000. Of that sum the necessary general endowment for teaching is $1,020,000 and the necessary endowment to meet current expenses i5/$250,000. Future needs were estimated at 81,850,000, That sum would include $250,000 for a teachers’ pension fund; $60,000 for a chair of fine arts; $70,000 for further character development; $125,000 for scholarships for women; $40,000 for a lecture concert series; $50,000 for a broader athletic program, and $1,245,000 for the physical plant. Speakers explained that DePauw's educational and administrative functions were curtailed and faculty salaries cut during the depression. Income from invested funds has declined 25 per cent since 1929,

McNutt Is Far From Election, Senator Says
WASHINGTON, April 7 (U. P)— Senator Minton (D. Ind.) had been told today how he might get more
patronage. He did not indicate he would accept the advice, which came from Senator Holt (D. W. Va.) during debate on the Coal Commission appropriation yesterday. Senator Minton declared there were less than 100 Hoosiers on the Commission payroll. Senator Holt cbserved that “the Administration got by you very easily,” and sug-. gested that he could have got more patronage if he were “less” amenable to. New Deal pressure.” “You're not troubled that way!” exclaimed Senator Minton. “You took care of that by Joining a man named Landon . . . | “Sure, I've heard of a man named Landon and he got nearer the Presidency than will the Senator from Indiana’s candidate, Paul V. McNutt,” Senator Holt fired, recalling the recent reception for Mr. MecNutt, which the West Virginian said was paid for by Indiana's “Two Per Cent boys.” Senator Minton reddened and explained that the reception was financed by several friends of the High Commissioner to the Philippines, adding sarcastically that fyou couldn’t understand that because you have so few friends.” “Maybe s0,” cried Senator Holt, “but I don’t have to rake down the few I have. I hope the capital again will have a chance to see McNutt’s rich tan and great beauty.” He then took his seat and the bill was passed.

Col. Richard Lieber Urges
U.S. Conservation Department
Times Special LAFAYETTE, April 7.—Creation of a Federal Department of Conservation, to be devoted to conservation of natural resources and flood control, was urged here today by Col. Richard Lieber National Association of State Parks president.
He spoke at the 31st annual meeting of the Indiana Section of the American Water Works Association at Purdue University. Urging a united effort in conservation work, he said it is now scattered among several departments and bureaus, so that comprehensive action to conserve natural resources is impossible. Col. Lieber stated such a department’s function would be “treating our natural resources as the final basis of national power and perpetuity.” He charged that the Federal Government “so far has failed to put its house in order” for conservation work.

OIL MEN ASSAIL
GARDENAS’ PLAN
Scheme Would Make Them Pay for Own Properties, They Declare.
. MEXICO CITY, April 7 (U. P.)— Officials of American: and British oil companies whose $400,000,000 holdings were seized by the Government, asserted today that President Lazaro Cardenas’ plan for indemnification would be tantamount to the companies paying themselves for their own properties. Cardenas anounced that indemnification would depend upon the amount of oil exports; that 20 per cent of the revenue from sales abroad would be earmarked to pay for the properties. In addition, a percentage of domestic petroleum sales, the amount to be determined later, would go into an indemnification fund. An official statement said that the first payment would be made after negotiations with the companies on the amount of the indemnity were concluded. In injunction proceedings to set aside the seizure, the companies cited a recent Supreme Court decision which held that payment for expropriation should be made within a “reasonable time,” and contended that the 10-year period for indemnification, provided in the expropriation law, was unconstitutional. A representative of the companies contended that compensation payment from a percentage of production was contrary to the constitution. He privately expressed the opinion that the companies would be placed in a position where they would suffer huge losses should Government operation of the industry

| January, 1937, he said one of the
irreparable losses of such disaster is the washing of soil into the Gulf of Mexico. “If we do not put a determined stop to this,” Col. Lieber declared, “we will have no more use for Indianapolis nor 100 other now thriving cities, large and small, around us for we will go the way of China to face bankruptcy in measurable time.”
all but forgotten by everyone except the scientist, engineer and National Resources Board. “It is impressive that one central authority have charge of a problem that is more than one of engineering, soil conservation and forestry,” the speaker said. “The citizen wants to have an explanation of the whole plan and the total cost before haphazard starts are made. The huge problem is ultimately one of proper land use and the preservation of our inherited natural wealth.”
People Would Have Spokesman
Col. Lieber explained that the National Resources Board is a planning, surveying and investigating agency, hot an executive one. “What we are doing now by way of surveying and planning is good as far as it goes,” he said, “but it is no solution nor substitute for a
functional branch of the Government in charge of conservation.” . Col. Lieber said with a Department of Conservation the people would have a spokesman in the President’s cabinet; it would bring closer co-operation between Federal
and State agencies, free the work from conflicting controls and co-
ordinate it.

MOTHER OF PAINTER, |ARTIST HERSELF, DIES
| Suzanne * Valadon Learned Skill From Employers.
&*
Valadon, noted artist and the mother of Maurice Utrillo, impressionist, died today. She was 70.
The girl who ran away from
the Paris Latin Quarter to become -|a model for Renoir, Lautrec, Degas and others became an artist in her {own right under their tutelage. During her Latin Quarter days, when she was busy as a model and embryo painter, her son was born. She taught her son to paint. He became an alcoholic and his mentality gradually weakened. In Montmartre, unscrupulous cafe - keepers locked him into backrooms, provided him with bottles of wine and made him paint pictures to get more wine. When his mother was able to. get him away from his Montmartre haunts, his mentality had so deteriorated that he played with children’s toys. That childlike emotion was reflected in his art.
