Thousands listened devoutly today at Indianapolis churches as pastors urged an ever-widening adherence to Christian principles and recalled the cross on Calvary which Good Friday commemorates. It was estimated that more than 50,000 atended services in down- . town churches and theaters and in neighborhood districts, culminating five days of Holy Week activities. Others who~were prevented from attending were to pause in their routine for one minute at 2:59 p. m. The Weather Bureau forecast a possibility that the Easter parade may be dampened by occasional thundershowers Sunday. Three pastors spoke at United Protestant : services at English’s Theater and: the same number at Keith's Theater on the same subjects betweén noon and 3p. m.

Three Pastors Speak Talking on “Scoffing Hatred Before the Cross,” the Rev. William A. Shullenberger, Central Christian Church: pastor, told a large crowd at Keith's Theater that “Calvary is

both historic fact and a mirror of revelation. . . . Let us put far off the day when in our own generation we renounce the way of God, goodwill toward ‘men, reverence for the noblest as we see those qualities in * Christ.” 1 ; ‘At the same time in English’s Theater, the ‘Rev. Harry G. Rowe, Everson Avenue Baptist Church, outlined four ‘groups of scoffers” Who crucified Christ. “But Christ “was mightier than, them all. -- He rode - victoriously “over them with His soul’ ‘tuned to the Barmenies ¢ of

ing at" Hoper. Before the Cross,” the Rev. Henry E. Chace, Washington Street Presbyterian Church pastor, declared “The rule of God in the affairs of man will come,” while, at English’s, the Rev. Robert S. Mosby, Simpson Methodist Church, said “The victory of the cross is our hope. ” Cross Is ‘Way of Life’

. The Rev. Charles H. Winders, Downey Avenue Christian Church pastor, speaking at Keith's on “A Redeemed Humanity Through the Cross,” declared that “the church will win when the cross becomes more ‘than a theology—when it is .made the way of life.” The Rev. Orien W. Fifer Sr. Christian Advocate editor, said at English’s that “the cross, once the symbol of death, has become the symbol of life everlasting.”

Churches planned religious music programs for tonight in addition to the day’s services. Some were to combine in union services. All city streetcars and busses were to halt for one minute at 2:59 p. m. The City Hall and Court House were closed from noon to3 p. m. Other downtown services were held today. Lutheran congregations met in the First United Lutheran Church, Pennsylvania and Walnut Sts., from noon to 3 p. m. Catholic Rites Held

* Addresses on the “Seven Last Words From the Cross” were given by the Rev. J. L. Seng, Bethany Lutheran Church; the Rev. Kenneth Hartman, Ebenezer Lutheran Church; the Rev. V. I. Hess, Pleasant View Lutheran Church; the Rev. A. K. t, Bethlehem Lutheran Church; “the Rev. H. E. Turney, Indiana Lutheran synod president; the Rev. R. H.

Circus Train Lost Two Hours but Finally Gets Here.

Fe nearly two hours today the Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus train was somewhere in Indianapolis, the object of an intense search by police and small boys. It was scheduled to arrive at an out of the way Pennsylvania Rail-

road siding at 9:30 a. m. It was not there at 11 a. m. Meanwhile, the police guard stood around.. When someone asked them where the train was they said: “Somewhere out on thes Belt Railroad.” That's where it was, too. Later the train reached the right siding and rigging of the tents started. The circus 1s to open its season here with a showing tomorrow afternoon: and night and two more performances Monday at Southeastern and Keystone Aves.

Grasshopper Rues Early Promenading

RS. JESSIE KRESS caught a large grasshopper in her garden at 1001 Gilbert Ave. today. When she got over her surprise she said she thought it was pretty early for grasshoppers. But the State Conservation Department said the creature probably lived in a greenhouse all winter. Anyway, the Department said, the U. S. Department of Agriculture only this week sent ‘out a printed booklet telling everyone that the hoppers were beginning to awaken. The Department said today that from now on the grasshopper population will grow rapidly. ~ Katy-dids and other insects that make noises in the night are still in the egg stage, however, and won’t tune up for a month or SO. Another sign of an early spring came from a report of Indianapolis physicians who said cases of rcse fever already have been reported, two weeks earlier than usual.

GIRL, 7, SLAIN; SUSPECT HELD

“Distovered in Weeds

Near Home. ~~

LOS ANGELES, April 15 (U. Po. ~The nude body of T7-year-old Jenny Moreno, criminally attacked

was found in the weeds of a vacant lot 100 yards from her home in suburban Downey early today. Upon discovering the girl's body. a mob of 100 neighbors surged to the home of Charles McLachlan, 55 and was shouting “lynch him” when

sheriff’s deputies rescued the man. Neighbors attracted to McLachlan’s home earlier by a cloud of smoke said that they found him burning blood-spattered clothing. McLachlan denied having molested the girl but was held for auestioning. Jenny left home to olay with children in the neighborhood shortly before noon yesterday. A group of neighbors started search for her at dusk when she failed to return home. Shortly before discovery -of the body, at “about midnight, the searchers noticed smoke pouring from windows of McLachlan’s house near the Moreno home. Fearing the house was on fire, they hammered on the door, but said the man refused to let-them enter. A deputy sheriff was called. He said he found McLachlan ‘burning bloodstained garments. They were his own, and not the girl's. His suspicions aroused because of the girl missing in the neighborhood, the officer began questioning McLachlan.

CITIZENS RIGHT T0 CITE SMOKE OFFENSE ASKED

Amendment to Ordinance * Proposed for Tighter Law Observance.

5-DAY ‘GRACE’ FAVORED

League Proposes to Quiz Mayor Candidates on Nuisance Stand.

The Indianapolis Smoke Abatement League today was drafting an amendment to the smoke control ordinance to expand enforcement, and planned to interview ail candidates for Mayor on their stands in eliminating the’ smoke nuisance. The amendment, to be presented to City Council April 25, would make it possible for any citizen and all em-

ployees in the city smoke control de- |

partment to file affidavits against violators. The ordinance now provides for the filing of affidavits only by the combustion engineer or persons authorized by him. Affidavits would be filed in Municipal Court. The person accused would be cited for contempt on failure to appear within five days.

Chart Is Favored

: The amendment also would provide for the use of the Ringlemann chart, in addition to the ‘umberscope, in measuring smoke density to determine violations. Roy O. Johnson, League Counselor said there had been objections to use of the chart by private citizens because of the danger of spitework. He said such has not been the case in other cities. Mrs. George A. VanDyke was named chairman of the committee to interview Mayoralty candidates. Other members are Mrs. Max Norris

.and John F. White. Mr. Johnson

said ‘the views of the candidates would be made public. The league counselor said Myron Stanley, formerly employed by the league as combustion engineer, wrote a letter claiming the City had made inspections on only about half the claims submitted by him when

he left his league affiliation.

_ Mr. Johnson added that enforcement has not been up to antiéipation after instructions given by

‘| Mayor Boetcher to the smoke con-

trol department.

UNIVERSITY HEIGHTS STREET WORK ASKED

‘Even Bus Surendered to Chuck Holes,’ Protested.

A delegation of University Heights residents today protested to Mayor Boetcher about the condition of streets in their neighborhoods because “even the Indianapolis Railways bus surrendered to the bumps and chuckholes.” They said the bus failed to make its scheduled trips this morning and the reason, they learned, was that the street was so rough the vehicles could not operate. “We've kept quiet a long time,” they told Mayor Boetcher, “but we feel this is too much.” The Mayor agreed and ordered Street. Commissioner Fred Eisenhut to take a crew of men to the neighborhood immediately. He also advised the group to prepare a petition for permanent improvement of

the streets.

The Works Board at its meeting today postponed action on an Indianapolis Railways petition for permission to install a temporary feeder bus line from Harlan St. to S. East St.

Yurses Confers in Capital With Hoosiers on Senate Race.

By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Sealing Times Stal Writer * WASHINGTON, April 15. — That ‘the Indiana “Democratic organization again is considering Oongress. men in the search for a “natural candidate” to replace Senator VanNuys was reported here today following the visit of Alex Pursley,

Governor Townsend's close adviser. While, here Mr. Pursley, who as

fifth district chairman also is a in the State Committee, talked with various Hoosier, Democrats who already have been suggested for the post. His own choice is said to be Rep: Glenn Griswold, Peru, with whom he visited while here. While Mr. Griswold is credited wtih having considerable | labor support, he might be objected to because of a spotty record in supporting New Deal measures, it has been pointed out. Favered by Townsend

At the very height of New Deal popularity; he voted against NRA and similar Roosevelt - recovery efforts. However, he is said to stand well with Governor Town-

gh send, and the nominee is expected

to have the Governor’s approval before getting the convention approval. .1t is said here that Governor Townsend is unlikely to give the go sign to either of the announced candidates—Samuel Jackson or Alex Gordon. Rep. Arthur 3. Greenwood, onetims House whip and dean of the Indiana delegation, has - the - most perfect New Deal record. But he comes from Washington, Ind., and it is considered unlikely that’ the senatorial selection would be made south of Indianapolis, since Senator Minton is from New Albany. ‘Friends of Rep. Louis Ludlow contend he would be the best vote getter the Democrats could nominate. But since this contention is based on his popularity with Republicans and because he has opposed President Roosevelt on numerous occasions the more ardent ‘New Dealers are thumbs down. on consideration of him. It is conceded by. many that Rep. Samuel B. Pettengill likely would have had the best chance of any House. member if he had not deserted the Administration completely. As it is, he is not even seeking renomination to Congress.

Southern Bloc Rallies Against Wage-Hour Bill .By HERBERT LITTLE Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, April 15.—President Roosevelt’s renewed plea in his fireside chat for a wage-hour law at this session was answered today

| by & new Southern rebellion in the

House. A hard fight is ahead; but with some important Republican support indicated, the measure appears to nave a better chance than it has had in the last three months. A few hours before the President spoke, a forewarned House Labor Committee reported out a modified bill over the protests of Southerners. Some conservative congressmen from areas which have fostered “sweatshop” wages may succumb to the patronage possibilities of’ the spending program, but there is little chance that they will agree to a program which would force their constituent ployers to a 40-cent wage level 1941. This goes for Republicans from some New Jersey and Pennsylvania low-wage districts as well as for Southerners.

Republicans May Help Many Republicans from. highwage areas will support the bill, it was predicted today, in the hope ot

reducing the advantage of competi- | tive manufacturers in the South. It

was this support that helped bring the bill out of the Labor Committee last night, and it is this support that will get the measure past the hitherto hostile Rules Committee if it ‘gets past at all.

The secret, bickering sessions of |

the Labor Committee ended last

night with an apparent rout of the|

harassed Southerners who de-

manded recognition of their lower

‘wage scales. Republicans and Northern Democrats joined to shove through a bill which permits no geographical differential. Rep. Sam D. McReynolds (D. Tenn.), who led the fight against the bill last year,.said it. is very doubtful that the new bill will ever reach the floor, + Southerners are even more hos~ tile to this bill than: to the previous one, which provided differentials in their favor. ‘Ninety of the 110 Southern Congressmen voted against the Black-Connery bill last year.

A. F. of L. Unsatisfied

The bill as completed went nearly all the way in meeting the demands of the A. F. of L., which nevertheless is expected to oppose it because of the last remaining difference—the fact that Secretary of Labor Perkins

‘is given some administrative power.

The - “floor under ° industrial wages” called ' for by President Roosevelt last night, three hours after the Committee had acted, is set in the bill at 25 cents an hour— at the outset. A. F. of L. President William Green is understood to have expressed willingness to go this low, if no geographical differentials were permitted.

It is a rigid bill, and no deviations ’

are permitted. Violations are punishable by the Justice Department, which also is authorized to obtain injunctions to enforce the law. This is what Mr. Green demanded. The bill, sponsored by Chairman Mary T. Norton of the Committee, contains the famous “escalator” clause. This provides that the} minimum wage shall increase by 5 cents an hour every year until a 40¢ent rate is established. The bill establishes: a 44-hour maximum work-week, and another

“escalator” requires that this be re-

duced annually by two hours to a 40-hour level.

Child Labor Restricted

The administrative provision authorizes the Secretary of Labor, on recommendation of a special indus-| C

try board, to suspend operation of the escalator clauses if necessary to prevent undue hardship. _ A child labor provision would prohibit interstate shipment of goods made by firms employing children under 14; under 16 in mining and actual manufacturing and in ofher jobs only under conditions approved by the Children’s Bureau of the Labor Department, and under 18 in jobs. deemed “hazardous* by the Bureau.

®_ - Two Messages to

Congress Promised (Editorial, Page 18)

WASHINGTON, April 15 (U. P.), —President Roosevelt swept his new recovery drive into high gear today, outlining new proposals he will sub mit to Congress to accompany his $4,512,000,000 spending-lending and 39 billion dollar credit expansion program. Mr. Roosevelt reported a T7-to-1 ratio of favorable responses in the 700 communications received thus far at the White House on his new pump-priming program. He out=< lined his next steps in a dramatic revival of original New . Deal cee covery tactics. :

Governor Townsend is to give his first radio “fireside talk” at 9 p. m. tomorrow to explain’ methods by which Indiana can co-operate with President Roosevelt's new recovery program. His speech, which is expected to be along the lines of President Roosevelt’s radio address last night, is to be broadcast locally over ‘WIRE.

Two new messages will be sent to Congress. They will ask: 1. Removal of tax exemption priv ileges on bonds of the Federal and

‘local governments; reciprocal taxa-

tion of the incomes of state and Federal employees. 2. Methods of :meeting problems of business monopoly and price fix-

E ' No Time Set

The . President ‘Would not say whether he will ask action at this session of Congress on the tax and business problems. Yesterday, in outlining his new recovery drive, he mentioned both. issues, but. did not

| indicate he would demand that the

present session pass legislation. Government agencies, the Presiden’ revealed today, are working at ‘top speed to translate into action all phases of the new campaign. The Securities and Exchange Commis» sion is already drafting new secure ities registration requirements, designed to lessen the cost and simplify the task of securities flotation by small enterprises. Mr. Roosevelt said he would leave up to Congress the question of whether to combine all legislation needed for the new spending-lend-ing-credit expansion drive in one omnibus measure. President Roosevelt made plain today that he believes—contrary to some Supreme Court interpretations and constitutional authorities—that the Government has full power to end bond fax exemptions and tax governmental salaries under the 16th Amendment to the Constitu~ tion. The 16th Amendment, Mr. Roose= velt asserted, declares that income may be taxed from whatever source derived. Seeks Prosperity for All

The President made no estimate of the revenue involved in the new tax proposals. However, fiscal experts have said about $140,000,000 in taxes could be collected if tax exempt bonds were eliminated. Off setting these collections would .be the ‘cost of higher interest rates. + Last night Mr. Roosevelt dedi« cated his new program to a distribu« tion of prosperity among all the people. : To. that end, he shot millions of idle - gold into the credit-spending pool and notified Congressmen last night in a fireside chat to their . constituents, that he wants a wag:s and hours bill passed at this session, Congressional leaders were confident that the new recovery program sould be enacted. First surveys of sentiment revealed Se to pump-priming tactics, but less strong than that which finally junked the Byrnes-Cochran Government Reorganization Bill last week. Congressmen are coming up for re-election this fall and they are likely to. vote for anything that promises to bring prosperity. -

~ Reverses Budget Policy :
