But “ should have taken politics out ' when it was created.” :
Kortepeter Silent
‘Kortepeter, County WPA adator, declined to comment on the report. John K. Jennings, State ministrator, was out of the city.

Jackson Also Silent
~~ Omer Stokes Jackson, Democratic | State chairman, said he would not comment on the plan “because sev«eral changes in the WPA had been | contemplated, and it would be im- ~~ possible to say what modifications | © would be adopted.” Republicans released a storm of criticism against the administration = of WPA in Indiana during the cam- \ ‘Paign prior to the Nov. 8 election. Charges of “intimidation and bh - coercion” of WPA workers were 3 levelled against the Democrats by +1 G. O, P. candidates, who early in + the campaign pledged their support Ts pil the relief measure “as long as it Is needed.” Mr. Bobbitt said the keystone of the G. O. P. plank covering WPA was “a greater distribution of money - to the workers by cutting the sal- : aries paid executives.”

Hoosier Lifer, Cleared By: Science, Expected to Go Free
SAGINAW, sMich., Dec. 31 (U.P.).—The science of ballistics, which has clinched convictions against many a criminal, promised today to swing open the prison doors for a man who 18 years ago was sentenced
A few legal technicalities remain to be completed, but probably next week Alex Ripan will be released from Southern Michigan Prison where he was sent in 1919 on conviction of murdering a neighbor, Luca
Tipula. Tipula was killed in October of 1919. Ripan was brought to trial and the weight of evidence went heavily against him when the prosecutor, Riley Crane, showed that the fatal bullet would fit into a weapon found in Ripan’s possession. Ballistics tests were not applied; the prosecutor merely showed that the bullet would fit and the jury accepted it as clinching evidence. In 1929, Ripan fled the prison. He went to East Chicago, Ind., and set up a small business. For six years he was a respectable citizen. Then an acquaintance tipped off the police and Ripan 'was returned to prison. Friends .took up his case and forced a new investigation. They

Employment in Indiana industry fluctuates more in January than in any other month of a year, the Indiana State Employment Service reported today. According to studies of seasonal variations for 137 industries, “14 industries normally increase employment between 2 and 12 per cent in January,” Martin - F. Carpenter, Service director, said. “In the same period, 71 businesses ordinarily increase employment
from December levels between 2
and 48 per cent. The other 52 lines usually make little or no change,” he added. “The recent pickup in industrial
activity indicates employment con-
ditions in the state may be better during January than might be anticipated. Offset Possible “Contraseasonal gains in Indiana manufacturing employment were recorded in both October and November and if this movement carries over into January, it would tend to offset expected seasonal
