SOOTFALL HERE SHOWS SLIGHT DIP FOR MARCH
Popp Attributes 80-Ton Decrease Over February to Warm Weather.
CODE CHANGE PUSHED
Questionnaire Calls for a Statement of Position by Mayor Aspirants.
As a WPA survey report showed 771 tons of soot fell on the city last month, the Indianapolis Smoke Abatement League continued its efforts to enlist support of the City Council and mayoralty candidates
in the campaign on smoke. The ‘sootfall last month was only 80 tons less than during the heavier firing season in February. League officials. mailed a questionnaire to all candidates for Mayor and completed drafting -a proposed amendment to the city’s smoke abatement code. The amendment - would make it possible for citizens to file affidavits against violators. March Sootfall Declines _ Building Commissioner George R. Popp Jr. said the March sootfall was 1473 tons per square mile throughout the city. The February average was 1625 tons. Mr. Popp said'the decrease was the result of warmer weather. : Smokiest section in the city was at Massachusetts Ave. and Rural St. where the recording was 24.79 tons per square mile. This figure was four tons less than the February -total: Cleanest section was at 29th St. and Harding Ave. with a sootfall of
748 tons per square mile, an in-
crease of one ton over the February “total. Two other sections showed increases. They are 34th and Keystone Ave. and 38th and Meridian Sts. : In its letter to Mayoralty candidates, the League gave results of its ow 1 survey and its program for re‘ducing sootfall and asked the following questions: “Do. you favor an adequate smoke abatement program for dianapolis?2. If you are glected Mayor of Indianapolis, will you-.reeommend to the Council that an appropriation be made sufficient to finance an adequate smoke abatement pro-
gram?. : ‘Will You Aid League’
3.:Will you in other ways use your influence to aid the Smoke Abate-
ment League and. its allied civic or-.
ganizations in their efforts to have established an adequate smoke abatement program? 4. Do you favor .reasonable law enforcement - where necessary, in order to abate the smoke nuisance? 5. Will you support such amendments “to our Smoke Ordinance as may be necessary to bring about the enforcement of the law and the abatement of the smoke evil? _6. Will you advocate smoke abatement in your campaign for election? “With an adequate smoke abatement program, this nuisance can be - cut in half within 12 months, and can be cut 75 per cent by one city administration,” the League told the candidates.

Circus Crews Win Day Over Boy Jamboree
- An organized minority of Hagen-beck-Wallace Circus workers today had put all tents and equipment in place in what they regarded as a triumph over an unorganized majority of small boys and girls. “There were more boys and girls at the show grounds, Southeastern and Keystone Aves., then there were tent stakes, and even with elephants running interference for them, the circus workers couldn't always get where they were going. There were smail boys walking tent poles lying on the ground ready for placing; small boys on wagons that had momentarily halted; small boys climbing to the screened window of the lien’s wagon trying to make the beast roar; small boys watching the tents rise over empty areas and immediately peeking under, even before the canvas was in place, to see what was inside. That’s the way it went all yesterday afternoon. The circus people were patient. But they said they felt relieved when, .after all the small boys and girls finally had gone, all they had to do was to feed the animals, push a few rhore wagons, raise the big top, drive a lot of stakes, put up the side shows, and get ready for performances today. rn

(Editorial, Page 10; Photos, Page Eight, Our Town, Page Nine)
Baseball was s scheduled for its annual big inning in ‘Indianapolis this afternoon and, barring bad breaks on the part of the weather,
one of the most colorful of Indianapolis diamond inaugurals was expected to ‘be staged. Pe overcast sky and a threat of rain in the morning and early afternoon kept some fans at home, but Perry Stadium officials still were confident of entertaining an enthusiastic crowd ‘at the American Association lid-lfter. A néw manager, virtually o fiew club and a new spirit have combined to stimulate warm interest in the Indians ‘opener. Lauri -Myllykangas, a new. member on the mound staff, was nominated by Manager Ray Schalk to dish ’em up for the Tribe, and Pilot Ownie Bush of the Minneapolis Millers placed his trust in the veteran Walter Tauscher, who in the past has been a hard nut for Indianapolis teams to crack. Mpyllykangas: and Tauscher ‘are righthhanders of long experience in league ball and both’ turned in impressive spring exhibition records. The contest was scheduled. to get under way at 2:30 o’clock following briefs=ceremonies beginning at 2:10. Governor Townsend and Mayor .Boetcher were delegated as the honorary battery. Prior to the appearance of the Governor and Mayor, the Perry Stadium Knothole Gang band was to lead a march of players to center field for the annual flag raising by a color detail from the Indiana National Guard. About 125. of Manager Schalk’s Chicago friends were to attend to cheer for the Redskins. The delegation was scheduled to arrive over the Monon and go to the stadium in special ‘busses. They chartered : i: special train. George Johnson, dean of Ameri can Association umpires, was as-
of the plate and on the bases was: to be John Conlan. ° The playing field has been worked over and was in fine shape early this afternoon. The entire stadium is spic and span for the opener and an encouraging advance seat sale was reported. The Minneapolis Millers received additional mound strength today when Leroy Parmelee, veteran righthander, was assigned to them by the Chicago Cubs.

He said the WPA project will enable the city to repair streets and alleys that otherwise could not be done because of lack of funds. Carl Kortepeter, Marion County WPA director, said the WPA grant is a blanket project and will relieve his office of much detail work in preparing specifications for Washington approval of each repairing operation. “We will put no more men to work than have been working,” he said. “And it may be that we never will spend all the money. We will continue our street repair work in much the same way we have been cperating. . The money is for labor only and not for materials.”

Mayor Boetcher today declined to comment on statements made by City Councilmen William Oren, John :-Schumacher and Edward | Kealing that the proposed White River flood control program was a “timely political move.” ‘The three councilmen said ysterday the $2,000,000 program was an attempt of the Government to
the expense of the taxpayers.” The new Naval Reserve Armory is near the site. “I see no resemblance to flood control about it,” Mr. Oren said. “If the river overflows, it can’t hurt anything but the park.” Terming the criticism “so much bosh,” Jackiel Joseph, Park Board president, said that “not one nickel will be raised or taken from taxation in Indianapolis for the flood project.” The only money to be spent is for the purchase of the 20 apres from the Cooper Estate.

a meeting in Wolff-for-Mayor Clubs headquarters, asserted that the “Roosevelt ‘spending spree” will mean a Republican victory in the fall election. In a public ‘statement, Earl B. Teckemeyer also a Republican mayoralty candidate, declared reduction of the tax rate not only would relieve the tax load on each individual, but also would draw new industries to the city, thus relieving local unemployment. Ward B. Hiner, fourth Republican candidate for the mayoralty nomination, told his workers and supporters at a meeting last night they must enlighten the public as to what to expect from candidates, and that the candidate’s past record in handling public affairs is the best evidence of Whaj he will do in the future.
