WPA Fight Begun; New Debate Looms
- On Tax
Borocor Leads Battle to Cut Roosevelt Relief Request.

“The committee believes that if the WPA would make a thorough canvass of persons carried: on its 10lls, there would be disclosed many thousands neither rightfully nor Justifiably thereon.”
Civil Service Opposed
The committee inserted a provi- da
“slon in the bill prohibiting President Roosevelt from using relief funds to pay WPA administrative employees he planned to cover into civil service Feb. 1—an effective nullification of his executive order. The committee declared that the 'A is a temporary agency and should not be under civil service. ; The majority said there have been nproper political practices in the relief agency, but said that because of the pressing need for funds ners is not sufficient time to conthis question in the exhaustive way it merits.” J It ‘suggested that political abuses be corrected by a special measure or when the 1940 relief bill comes up later this year. Hopkins Asked To Explain Activity + WASHINGTON, Jan. 12 (U. P.)— A demand that Commerce Secretary Hopkins explain charges that WPA participated in state elections today interrupted a Senate Commerce investigation of his qualifications. ‘The Committee recessed until tomorrow after Senator Johnson (R. Cal.) demanded that Mr. Hopkins explain charges of political activity, outlined in the report of the Senate Committee on Campaign EXpenditures. The day’s delay was granted to enable Secretary Hopkins, former WPA administrator, to get copies of his records. In agreeing to the recess, Senator Johnson told Mr. Hopkins the Com‘mittee would “give you every opportunity to defend yourself.” + “I don’t want to consider that I'm here as a defendant,” Hopkins rejoined. “You can be the plaintiff, if you wish,” Senator Johnson said. Senator Johnson indicated he wants to question Mr. Hopkins ifically on what part WPA yed in 1938 elections in Kentucky and Pennsylvania.
MOONEY DECLARED HEALTHY FOR AGE
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 12 (U. P.) —Thomas J. Mooney learned to-
Secretary
day, after the first of a series of};
medical tests to determine his phys ical condition, that he apparently was in excellent health for a man 56 years old. ‘Dr. Leo Eloesser, diagnostician, said further checkups are to be made. Mr. Mooney had said that results of the examinations would determine to a great extent how active he again would be in the Labor movement.
AWARDS ARE MADE TO CATHEDRAL BAND
Senior members of the Cathedral High School Band have been awarded monograms: and sweaters, it was announced today. Those who received awards were John Moriarty, Frank Leary, Graham Lashbrook, Michael Beck, James Brady, Bernard Gallagher, Richard Haffner, Jolin Hyland, Richard Obergfell, Charles Raimondi, John Roney, John Schattner and William Ullrich.
4 NOW IN CUSTODY IN ARMORY LOOTING
Coy Riley, one of four men charged with looting the Noblesville National Guard Armory Dec. 2, was to be taken into Federal Custody by U. S. deputy marshals today. He was arrested by Noblesville police last night. Three others, charged with the alleged theft of an automatic rifle and two revolvers, are in Marjon County jail.
Exemption
Ludlow and Boehne Offer Bills for Levy on Bond Incomes.
By LEE MILLER Times Special Writer d WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.—President Roosevelt's fight against taxexempt Government securities and salaries will be renewed in Congress next week. Senator Brown (D. Mich) revealed today that the special Senate
he is chairman, is tentatively planning to open hearings next Tues-
: The first witness is expected to be James W. Morris, Assistant Attorney General. He presumably will testify in favor of abolishing tine exemptions by statute, as the Justice Department has recommended on [the basis of recent Supreme Cour? decisions in borderline cases. Senator Brown has also been in touch with John W. Hanes, UnderSecretary of the Treasury, and ie hopes that Mr. Hanes as well as John P. Weénchel, Internal Revenue Bureau chief counsel, will testify.
Committee ‘Open Minded”
Treasury officials in the past have generally favored attacking the problem with a Constitutional amendment rather than a statute, but Mr. Wenchel, like Hoosierborn Herman Oliphant, Treasury General Counsel who died yesterday, considers a statute sufficient. Senator Brown said the Commiitee was open-minded on the whole subject.’ The other members are Senators Byrd (D. Va.), Logan (D. Ky.), Miller (D. Ark.), Townsend (=. Del.) and Austin (R. Vt). After - hearing Government ofiicials, the committee is expected 0 recess until February, when opposition testimony will be heard. This will come principally from officials of states and cities, many of whom are vehemently insistent that their securities continue tax-exempt. Some 39 state attorneys general and other state and city officials have organized a “Conference on State Defense” to resist the removal of exemptions. Henry Epstein, New York, Solicitor General, is confer. ence chairman.
Short Law Favored
Last April President Roosevelt recommended, in a message, that Congress enact “a short and simple statute” subjecting all future state and local bonds and salaries to Federal taxation, and all Federal bonds and salaries to state taxation. The President pointed out that the 16th Amendment authorizéd Congress “to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from Whatever source derived.” Various antiexemption measures have already been introduced in the new Congress. Senator Maloney (D. Conn.) has put in a bill to make taxable the income from future issues of Federal securities, Rep. Louis Ludlow (D. Ind.) has a bill to permit the reciprocal taxation of state and Federal salaries, and Rep. Clarence E. Hancock (R. N. Y.) has one to authorize state taxation of Federal employees wherever the states permit Federal taxation of state employees. Senator Capper (R. Kas) has proposed a constitutional amendment to permit state taxation of Federal securities and salaries, znd vice versa. Other amendments in the same field were introduced by Reps. Cassius C. Dowell (R. Iowa), John J. Cochran (D. Mo.), Francis D. Culkin (R. N. Y.), John W. Boehne Jr. (D. Ind.), Carl Mapes (R. Mich.) and J. Buell Snyder (D. Pa.),

Watch Out For Patched Five Spots!
Don’t accept any patched up $5 bills unless you know they are genuine and not pieces of several other bills, the U. S. Secret Service warned today. George D. Loy, Indiana agent in charge, said currency surgery is being practiced again in the State and that a South Bend bank recently was victimized. They do it this way, Mr. Loy said: ‘A number of $5 bills are cut into several. pieces. each. Then most of the pieces from each bill are pasted together with ordinary tape to resemble a $5 bills that has had a bad accident. From each bill cut up, however, there are one or two pieces left over (the blank spots are filled in with tape) and these left-over pieces are pieced together to make additional bills, it was explained.
CITY MANAGER
AID IS SOUGHT
Indiana Junior Chamber of Commerce Arranges Meeting Saturday.
. (Continued from Page One)
the City Manager plan marks the first definite activity since a former enabling act was held unconstitutional by the Indiana Supreme Court in 1929 after Indianapolis had voted overwhelmingly in favor of the plan. The Court did not deny the right of citizens to choose their form of government, but held that the former law was unconstitutional because of the way it prescribed establishment of the law. J. W. Esterline, president of the Esterline-Angus Co., end one of the leading supporters of the plan in earlier years, said he favors the “right kind” of City Manager plan, but feels it should be adopted by Constitutional amendment. “What the Legislature can give, it can take away,” he said, and I am afraid we would just be harassed every time the Legislature met. No group wants to have to run over to the Legislature every fwo years just to keep what we have.”
‘Fool Proof’ Plan Asked
Mr. Esterline added that with the numerous special laws applying to Indianapolis and other larger cities, it would be difficult to write enabling legislation: that would take care of
the particular needs of each city and at the same time be legally “fool proof.” : “Under- a Constitutional Home Rule amendment,” he said, “each city could draw up its own charter, eliminating all such difficulties.” | Wolf in Favor HERMAN WOLFF( defeated Republican candidate for Mayor)—I certainly am in favor of the passing of a Home Rule Amendment to the State Constitution. The plan has been successful in Ohio and I can see no reason who it wouldn’t be in Indiana also. It would be an act enabling any incorporated community to determine for itself the type of local government it wants. It is not discriminatory. I believe it is the only sure and successful way to obtain city managership. And I am certainly in favor of city managers.

C.OF C. EXPECTS 5000 NEW JOBS
Greatest Industrial Expansion Since Depression Is Predicted.
(Editorial, Page 14)
There will be a greater industrial expansion in Indianapolis this year than in any year since the depression began, Myron Green, Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce industrial commissioner, said today. “At this time,” ‘he said, “we can count pretty definitely on 4000 new industrial jobs being created through expansions and increases in business, and we fully expect and predict that figure will be 5000 before the year: is out. “Roughly that means a $5,000, 000 payroll increase. And there is every reason to suppose that, if the busi-
{ness trend in the nation is up, firms
will take back more and more workers who have been depression lay-
offs.” Jobs Gain Due
Mr. Green pointed out that yesterday’s announcement of a building program by the RCA Manufacturing Co. here promised 1000 new jobs before the year is over. He said that during the year, if presented demand is maintained, about 2500 additional workers will be employed at the new International Harvester .Co. foundry plant. Within a few weeks, he said, Standard Cereals, & new industry, will be in production and employ 200 persons, and Stewart-Warner Corp. plans for the year call for the employment of 300 additional workers, It is almost certain, he said, that the Philco Radio and Television Corp, recent purchaser of the Fair-banks-Morse & Co., will hire more men during the year. Mr. Green said he did not know now of any other industries intending to move here or expand present plants here, but added that with “this sort of start this early in the year we can certainly hope for the breaks.” -
Along with it I think we should have proportional representation. E. SNETHEN (Indianapolis City Bo League member and former secretary) —I believe that a statute could be enacted by the Legislature under which the city manager form of government could be operated, but I believe that the safest way, probably, would be to amend the Constitution. SUPERIOR COURT JUDGE HENRY O. GOETT-—Without detailed study, I would say that it appears the Legislature might be able to tinker with any city manager setup that was not based on a Constitutional amendment. W. H. Insley, chairman of the Indianapolis City Manager League executive committee, is another favoring constitutional amendment rather than enabling legislation. Other comments on the plan include:
tive Secretary for Indiana League of Women Voters: The Indiana League of Women Voters has indorsed the city manager plan. Inasmuch as a home rule amendment would be an effective way of obtaining it. I am sure our organization would favor such an amendment. We are in favor of whatever method would insure communities choosing their own type of local government. MRS. LOWELL FISHER, president of Indianapolis Council of Women: A means whereby city managership could be adopted satisfactorily would certainly receive my support. No efficient business man would consider employment as a city manager unless the position
MISS MARY SINCLAIR, Execu-|
“I wouldn’t see any objection to this measure if it didn’t make public this information. There probably are members of the House who would be on this delinquent list. I know that if I was delinquent I wouldn't want this mater published. : Suggests ‘Example’ Rep. Gideon W. Blain (D. Indianapolis) declared “no useful purpose could be accomplished by this resolution.” _ - He was answered by Rep C. Y. Foster (R. Carmel), who pointed out that property tax delinquent lists are public. “If we tried to send out enough investigators to check on everyone who isn’t paying the tax, we would have almost - everyone in Indianapolis gum-shoeing around the State. Why shouldn’t we make an example of these fellows?” Rep. Harry M. Shull (R. Auburn)
said he had heard reports in his dis-
trict that there was loose enforcement of this tax'act. “We should know whether anyone is being favored under this act. If we want to make intelligent corrections to this act we must know a little more about how it operates,” he said.
Believes Staff Adequate
In answer to the statement of Rep. George W. Wolf (D. Peru) that preparation of such a list would place a needless burden upon the staff of the department, Rep. Frank T. illis (R. Campbellsburg) shouted: “That department has enough employees to prepare a thousand such lists.” The 52-t0-46 vote for passage was obtained when one Democrat, Rep. |J. Earl McCurdy (D. La Porte) joined the solid Republican delegation to vote for the resolution. Still refusing to concede defeat, Rep. Stein attempted to secure reconsideration by motion, and when that failed he moved for a recheck of the roll call. In ruling on this last motion Speaker Knapp held: “Up until the time the roll call was announced by the chair, any member has the right to ask for a recheck. However; after the results had been announced, it was too late for any member to ask a recheck. The Representative from Greene or any other Representative who has evidence that a mistake has been made can move tomairow to correct the Journal.”
Believes Mistake Made
Although he said he agreed with this ruling, ‘Rep. Stein said the minority was convinced that a ise take had been made, and that fr now on ‘we are going to be especially watchful.” A “clincher” motion carried 50 to 48 after Republicans carried a close vote to have the absentees called. Bills were introduced in the House to: Make it unlawful to sell merchandise or utility service at prices calculated to destroy competition. It would prohibit rebates or sales under cost. Provide that a representative of labor and one of employers be on the State Board of Education. Require county officials to cut down the weeds along county highways every year between June 1 and Sept. 1. : Place Hamilton County in the northern zone of the Conservation Department for the purpose of regulating the taking of fox.
Cut for Retailers Sought
Reduce the rate paid by retailers under the gross income tax from 1 per cent to one-half of 1 per cent and lower the retailers’ exemption from $3000 to $1000. A similar measure already is pending in the House. : Prohibit any person, firm or corporation from advertising or selling any alcoholic beverage which has a trade mark similar to the distinguishing part of the name of any church or religious organization. Amend the inheritance tax law to provide that no legal presumption exists that such taxes are due if no proceeding has been taken to determine the taxes within 10 years after the time of death. Require that contracts for school bus drivers be let on the Second Tuesday in May, 1939.

Indianapolis), president pro tem., introduced a measure to give the Attorney-Gen-eral authority to institute proceedings for the appointment of administrators to settle estates whose owners have absented themselves from Indiana to parts unknown for a period of five years or more.
Six Other Senate Bills
The six other Senate bills would: Provide that judgment 1inonies awarded to a minor be turned over to a savings bank in the minor’s or legal guardian’s name. Judgments are now awarded to a next friend of the minor. Extend the open season on fox in the southern zone until Jan. 15, 1941. The season now closes on Jan. 15 of this year.

Conviction of incest now carries a six months’ jail sentence and a rape conviction a prison sentence of from two to six years. Provide that no costs for services performed by county officers shall be charged or collected from the counties.
Protests on Lobby Lists
The resolution to procure lobbyist lists for Senators drew a protest from Senator Walter Vermillion (D. Anderson), who declared: “If you are going to shut off everyone except registered lobbyists from committee, how are you going to get technical information when necessary?” Senator Weiss replied he was just
the resolution was aimed at no ticular group. As both Houses ‘recessed until. a. m. tomorrow, a group of Repubs lican Representatives were reported drafting a resolution seeking a Cone stitutional amendment for establishe ment ‘of an unicameral or single house Legislature. It is to be introduced by Rep. Joseph E. Klen (D. Gary) who sponsored a similar resolution in the 1935 session. The proposed constitutional amendment provided for would abolish the House of Representatives and the Senate and set up a single body composed of 48 members, four . from each congressional district.

This single house would be nm session throughout the year. The Lieutenant Governor would preside. Sefator William E.
