ORGANIZE RATE RISES, MIESSE

TO FIGHT

TELLS TAXPAYERS

Fears Burden if Levy Increases Are Given Five Townships.

CUT IN ONE UNIT

Greater Relief Cost Given as Cause of Advances.

Harry Miesse, Indiana Taxpayers’ Association executive director, today urged Indianapolis residents to organize “community. protest organizations” to fight propesed township

tax rafe increases which surveys

have disclosed may range from 20

cents to $1.15. : “Some communities literally will ‘be gobbled up if the proposed increases go. through,” Mr. . Miesse “I recommend that citizens organize by communities, by city blocks if necessary, to prepare themselves for the battle. “They must arm themselves with

"figures and go to council meetings

and tax board hearings to insure themselves against a tax burden such as they never have experienced

before.”

The proposed 1939 tax rate increases ranging from 20 cents to $1.15 are in the five townships with

‘*. tax districts within the Indianapolis

City limits. Rate estimates, all of which may be reduced by township advisory boards and the County Tax Adjustment Board, showed that Wayne

- Township inside Indianapolis faces

a 1939 levy of $3.81, the highest pro-

‘posed for any taxing unit in the

County. The proposed rate is 44 cents higher than this year’s. Warren Township outside the City

is the only tax unit in the five town-

ships for which a reduction is proposed for next year. The proposed 1039 rate is $1,78 compared with $1.90 this year.

Center Outside Highest The largest proposed increase is

. in Center. outside the City where a

tofal rate of $2.56 is asked, compared with $1.41 paid this year. Proposed budgets for Indianapolis in Center Township call for an (Continued on Page Three)

Indianapolis residents just missed experiencing a heat wave but it looks like their luck isn’t going to hold out indefinitely, the U. S.

Weather Bureau reported today. It was 20 degrees hotter yesterday in some southern Indiana cities than it was here and Indianapolis readings last night were six degrees below normal. The Bureau predicted it would be fair and warmer tonight, and that unsettled weather conditions tomorrow might result in showers. Yesterday's heat blanket extended south of here.

Public Hearing Set on County Needs for Next Year.

City Councilmen, their preliminary review of proposed 1939 municipal budget requests completed, turned today to a study of the budget “picture as a whole” and means of financing it. During its fourth. ~ession last night, the Council made no further cuts in departmental requests, out reduced the amount to be raised by property tax by increasing the estimate of City Hospital miscellaneous receipts $3000. Previously, reductions $7100 had been made in departmental items. Meanwhile, the County Council concluded its first study of the 1939 County budget proposals nd jrepared for a public hearing at 10 a. m, tomorrow. County budget proposals would require an increase of 12 cents in the 1939 property tax, while the City proposals would require an ll<cent increase.

Studies New Road" Levy

The County Council discussions during two ‘days of study centered on the Commissioners’ request for a new 2-cent levy for road repairs, and the proposed County Welfare budget, which would require a 2.2 cents levy boost. Commissioners told Councilmen yesterday that the levy is needed to raise funds to buy materials for the proposed $2,000,000 WPA road repair program. Carl Xorepeter, WPA director,: urged Council leave the .road repair items in the

1 budget to prevent general curtail- $4

ment of the WPA program in the County. If the money for road materials is not raised, Commissioners said, hundreds of men now on WPA rolls may be thrown on township direct relief. City Council's session last night was marked by clashes between

LINDBERGH KNOCKS OUT OFFICER—MAYBE

PARIS, Aug. 25 (U. P.).—A dispatch to the newspaper Soir from’ Riga—whence have come many false reports regarding happenings in Russia—reported today that Col. Charles A. Lindbergh had knocked out a secret police inspector who was following him during his present visit to Russia. According to the story, Col Lindbergh had been annoyed because the inspector followed him everywhere. He demanded an explanation, it was said, and when the inspector did not reply Col. Lindbergh knocked him out. Next day, the newspaper alleged, the chief of the secret police telephoned the American Embassy and explained that the inspector had been detailed to protect Col. Lindbergh, not to check his movements. The police chief commented, according to the story: : “The inspector found Col. Lindbergh as good a boxer as he is an aviator.” :

‘Harmony Program’ to Be, Completed at French Lick Meeting.

Detailed campaign plans are expected to occupy the attention of party leaders during the more serious moments of the Indiana Democratic Editorial Association meeting to be held at French Lick tomorrow and Saturday.

Emphasis has been placed on an entertainment program for party workers which. is to include a golf tournament, trap shoot, dance, banquet, fashion show, garden - party and showing of motion pictures. Party. leaders said this meeting should round out thé “harmony program” which began when Governor Townsend invited Senator VanNuys to submit his name to the Democratic State Convention for renomination.

It was at the editorial meeting a year ago that the break between the Governor and Senator Vane Nuys had its public beginning. At that time Senator VanNuys had no place on the speaking program and no nity to answer the Gov-

Paul Battaglia’s Murder May

“Be Traced to Mob Rivalry.

CHICAGO, Aug. 25 (U. P.).—Paul Battaglia, 44, one of a dozen Battaglias who made the old “42 Gang” notorious -during prohibition days, was found slain early today in a

west side alley. He was the 10th'|

victim of gang vengeance in Chicago during the past two months and the third Battaglia to die by gangland guns since 1931.

Police Capt. John Egan said Battaglia may: have been involved in a

dispute among West Side gamblers, | ny ‘as‘the result of recent hold hes ups of RanBagks, 4 dealt - mostly -

His: police record robberies and holdups. He was found on top of a pile ‘of trash by a watchman.” He had been | shot once behind the right ear. His right trouser leg was rolled up as if he had been dragged some distance. Police said he undoubtedly had been killed on ‘a “one-way ride,” dumped from an automobile, and dragged into the alley.

"Gambling Dispute Hinted

Battaglia had a long police record, dating from 1923, but Identi-’ fication Bureau officers had difficulty in tracing his background. They frankly . admitted they were confused by ‘a score of records—with criss-cross references to brothers, cousins and other kin—on the Battaglia clan. Capt. Egan said a social security card had been found in Battaglia’s pocket. Also in his pocket was an auto license card “issued to his brother, Tony.

Gang Wiped Out

Both were known hoodlums and members of the “42 Gang,” so-called because it originally had 42 mem-. bers. It has been wiped out. Police

identified Paul and Tony as brothers

of August (Augie) Battaglia, who was shot and killed New Year's Day, 1931, on a-'South Side street. Capt. Egan believed Paul and Tony-also were brothers of Frank. Battaglia, who was killed by gangsters in March, 1932. - His'oody was found in a ditch on the outskirts of the city.

CHICAGO, Aug. 25 (U. P.).— Carrie Nation used a hatchet on the Kansas saloons but State’s Attorney Thomas J. Courtney gave his policemen heavy firemen'’s axes. They have a bigger job to do— the job of making it too bothersome and expensive for a lot of

Judge Baker's Appointees File Brief as Jury Questions 10.

A brief sharply criticizing Prosecutor Herbert M. Spencer's refusal to permit special prosecutors to conduct the probe of alleged irregjularities in the primary election was on file today with the Indiana Supreme Court. ‘Meanwhile, 10 eleckion’ board tered and certified vote totals from Precinct 9, Ward 20, | and Precinct 12, Ward 2, were called to testify before the Grand Jury in its investigation of the election. The brief was filed by Fae W. Patrick and Harold K. Bachelder, attorneys named by Criminal Court ,| Judge Frank P. Baker as prosecutors for a special investigation. ‘It was a reply to another submitted by Mr. Spencer opposing reopening of the case, in which the Court barred appointment of special proscutors. Spencer Denies Charges Commenting on the fact Mr. Spencer was nominated for a Superior Court judgeship in the primary, the brief asserts it would be “embarrassing” for both Mr. Spencer ‘and his friends to establish that his own nomination was stolen for him by his friends.” It adds that “the most effective

way to prevent such embarrassment’

is to control the investigation.” Informed of the statements in the brief, including the reference to his own nomination, Mr. Spencer said: “I won by a 23,000 majority. My nomination was obtained cleanly and fairly. “We are making a clean investigation of the primary and we are going ahead with it. Naturally, a tion takes er

rimary. “These decisions are to:the effect that the Criminal Court has the inherent power to appoint special prosecutors in- his sound discretion, and only in abuse of that discretion should be attacked. The pleadings in this casé show that abuse of discretion did not éxist,” the brief read. Mr. Bachelder and Mr. Patrick also said that Prosecutor Spencer did not ask the Supreme Court for a writ of prohibition because of any “claimed lack of qualification on the part of ,, ... Patrick or Bachelder.” : The two attorneys also claimed that Prosecutor Spencer had gone “entirely out of the record in a childish attempt to prejudice the Supreme Court by personal insinuations not. pertinent to the question at issue.”

Spencer Brief Criticized

“If his (Prosecutor Spencer’s) brief is any indication of his ability to discern between charges to an issue and those not pertinent, he would be itterly incompetent to properly direct an investigation of any complicated . legal situation, » the petition charged.

Lieut. Frank Kreml, safety direce

Outlining, a two-fold plan of ate tack, he urged that officers get com-

“80 Per Cent Convictions”

“You ought to get 80 per cent con= also | victions in your accident cases. You can do this if your men know how to get evidence at the scéne.” In hit-run cases, he said, “police of | should average ‘80 pér cent arrests, of which 70 per cent would be con= victed.” “These percentages are - ‘not based on the performance of any one city or State Police Department.
