Sheppard Summons
Investigating Group
By THOMAS L. STOKES Times Special Writer
WASHINGTON, June 17.—Wasting no time, Senator Sheppard (D. Tex.) today called together his Senate Campaign Expenditures Investigating Committee, to whose duties has been added that of inquiring into political activity by WPA or any other Federal, State, County or
City agency handling Federal funds. Senator Sheppard said the com-

Mr. Feeney predicted the recount! would bring new wide discrepancies | to light in the next few days. His prediction was based on the recount late yesterday of one precinct on the East Side, where the canvassing board gave him 10 and Mr. Lutz, 163. The recount gave Mr. Feeney 71 and Mr. Lutz 70. - Markings Erased | Board members and watchers for | both candidates were agreed that there were discrepancies and that | they were the widest yet uncovered. Board members agreed that the | “X” in front of Mr. Feeney’s name | had been erased and another marked | in front of his opponent's name. They ruled also that the “X” had been erased from in front of names of other candidates for Sheriff] other than Mr. Feenev and then the ballot marked for Mr. Lutz. When board members said that it was certain that the marks were made by persons other than the voter, Mr. Feeney reinarked: “That makes it tough on someone.” The board ruled that 39 ballots | had been cast for Mr. Feeney, then | counted for his opponent after erasures and a substitute marking. Members said the erasures plain. These 39 ballots were given to Mr. Feeney in the recount. | Thirteen ballots, the board ruled. |

He said no complaints had vet been received “untheyre in my mail which I haven't seen for three days.” Mr, Sheppard said a formal statement would be made later, and it was understood it would be a general warning that prepared to investigate charges of misuse of Government funds to influence voters in senatorial primaries and elections. : The committee will function under a resolution introduced by Senate Majority Leader Barkley (D. Ky.) similar to the usual campaign investigating committee. The Senate approved the politicorelief investigation in its closing hours and forecasts it would be futile, as far as prevention of political activity is concerned, since the committee does not have to report until next session, well after the primaries and elections. “It will be an inquest, not an inquiry,” tartly remarked Republican

"Hoosier to Carry On Study of Press
By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer
WASHINGTON, June 17.—Two last-minute developments were hailed by some champions of civil
liberties today as the 75th Congress trouped out of town: 1. The request of the Senate Lobby Committee, headed by Senator Minton (D. Ind), for more funds, reputedly to be used in investigating newspapers, was turned down by the Senate. 2. The Wheeler-Lea wire-tapping bill, which had crept almost unnoticed to the verge of enactment, died with adjournment. Despite his defeat Senator Minton is “still determined to carry on an | objective study of the press,” he {said today. He expects to call his | committee together “in the next few | days,” before leaving for Indiana.

During the debate, Senator Minton explained he received the idea of carrying on “an objective study of the newspapers” from Senator Tydings (D. Md).

Meanwhile police arrested 32 al- | leged speeders in the first day of | the renewed dawn motorcycle patrol. The majority of the violators were arrested for driving between 40 and 50 miles an hour. Deputies reported Mr. Bailey was driving a produce truck owned by Mr. Matricia east on Road 52. Mr. Plummer was riding with them. Mr. Meo, his presence not known to the others, had “hitched” a ride on the truck. The others involved in the aceci- | dent were riding in the auto driven west by Mr. Hood. George Clarkson, 21, and his/| brother, Robert, 24, of 2420 Har- | lan St., told deputies the Hood car passed their machine “going 175 miles an hour, and hit the truck on the opposite side of the road.” Deputies said tire marks indicated the crash had occurred in the truck's lane of traffic. “The truck went right up into the air when the other machine hit it, and then turned over several times,” the Clarkson brothers told deputies. They said Mr. Hood's car overturned several times and stopped on a concrete culvert at the side of the road. Mr. Hood and Mr. Robinson were (Continued on Page Two)
BUDGET REQUESTS INDICATE 1339 DROP

First budget requests approved | by Mayor Boetcher and City Controller H. Nathan Swaim indicate | that the 1939 civil city budget wid! | [be less than this year's figure, | H. M. Tebay, assistant controller, | said today. The Mayor and the Controller have approved requests made by the following departments: Purchasing agency, Mayor's office, Barrett Law administration, Assessment Bureau, City Plan Commisgion, Sanitary Administration and City Clerk. Although the requests of these departments were not made public,
the Hospital's White Cross Guild | it was understood they were sub-
made the decision and will carry | stantially the same or less than ap-
but said they have a clear majority of House Democrats pledged to consider only a building program if a session is called.
Following a conference today with three House leaders, Dick Heller, Governor Townsend's executive secretary, said: “The House is in good shape if we do have a special session. Out of 72 Democratic House members it is estimated that only 10 per cent will be antagonistic to a proposed $8,000,000 State building program.” Speaker Edward Stein, Bloomfield; Frank Thompson, Bluffton, majority floor leader, and Rep. William Black, Anderson, attended the conference. It was learned that the “pledges” were being received in the form of individual letters from Democratic Representatives, These letters re-
| quest the Governor to take any ac- | tion needed to secure a PWA grant | to finance 45 per cent of the pro- | gram costs.
Democratic Representatives also promised to support such a program in a special session, which may be called to appropriate $4,400,000 as the State's share of the total cost.
Gadget Law Not Discussed
Proposed revision of the liquor law to eliminate the “port-of-entry” system and repeal of the act requiring windshield title card holders
was not discussed at the conference,
it was said. Possibility of a special session, spokesmen said, hinged on two factors: 1. The number of states and local governmental units seeking to take
| advantage of newly appropriated | Federal funds.
2. The time which must elapse before construction work actually can be started. If large numbers of other govern-
mental units rush to secure Fed- | eral funds, Indiana might have to
call a special session to place itself in a favorable comparative position, the Governor has indicated. Ee
| said he hoped contracts could be
let and men employed on the projects before winter. State Budget Director Edward P. Brennan said plans on some of the smaller projects which include additions to benevolent institutions are rapidly nearing completion. Administration leaders now are hoping the Federal Government wiil earmark a PWA grant for Indiana nder terms of a “gentlemen’s agreement” whereby the State will promise to make its matching appropria-
tion during the regular session in
| the world to dispose of the farmers’ products without subsidies by the | Government.
7. Amendment to the gross income tax law to exclude from its provie | sions all natural food products. 8. Advocation of methods to stime ulate nonagricultural industries and | eliminate “harrassing by Governe ment.”
The program, if approved by the council, will be given final consider= | ation by state-wide convention of | the organization to be held here about June 25, according to Mr, Heim. Today's meeting was held at ne Claypool Hotel.

He was wounded, but abandoned his automobile, later found stained with blood, and escaped on foot. He had not been identified when he fled.
