WEISS’ MANAGER BILL IS ATTACKED;

* 0.K. BUILDING QUIZ

G. O. P. Leaders Rap ‘Tsar’ Setup in Measure.

JENNER CRITICAL

Junior Chamber of . Cornmerce Maps Campaign. _

The dicpute over proposed city manager egislation was intensified today aftcr Senator Jacob D. Weiss (D. India:iapolis) said he was preparing a bill to authorize present city councils to employ city managers und:r an “almost airtight” 10- . year coniiact. The prooosals, second to be introduced in the Senaie, drew the fire from Rep blican legislators immediately. Under tie plan proposed by Senator Weiss, the City Manager would be removable from office during the life of his contract by the State Supreme Ccurt or the Legislature. The mc:t severe criticism of Senator Weiss’ plan was leveled by Senator William E. Jenner (R. Shoals), rainority floor leader, who already hs introduced a bill to permit voters to decide on the City Manager lan. : Annourcement of Senator Weiss’ proposed bill came as directors of the Indiina Junior Chamber of Commerc: prepared to meet ‘here Saturday to promote state-wide support ior the City Manager Plan.

Course Not Revealed

Leader: of the Junior Chamber have no: indicated whether they will favo: enabling legislation or a

constitutional amendment. About 35 directors of the Junior Chambe: are expected to attend the meeting which will be at the Indianapolis ‘Athletic Club during the afternooi.. J. W. Esterline, president. of Esterine-Angus Coy will address the direc sors. : “Unde: Senator Weiss’ plan, the people wouldn't be properly represented,” Senator Jenner said. “The " , City Council in office should not decide whither to have a City Manager. “That question should be put to the 1 cople. w “Ther: is some discussion of the ¢ constitu ionality of the proportional represer sation clause in my bill. If there is a definite possibility that it is unco: stitutionél that part will be changec. My bill would not be effective until Jan. 1, 1943. The people would then have an opportunity tH vote on the measure. “If Senator Weiss is introducing a City Manager bill he has made up his mind within the past 48 hours. He told me on the floor of the Seiiate after I introduced my bill tha: a City Manager was ‘crazy’ and thst ‘it wouldn’t work.’ He also stated hat such a form of government destroyed democracy’ and cited instances where other cities have tr ed and failed with this system.” In zaiiswer, Senator Weiss said that he told Senator Jenner not that _ the cit, manager idea: was “crazy” but that “Jenner’s bill on the city manag:r was crazy.” ; Recalls His Comment ~ “I tcld him that his bill wouldn’t work snd was unconstitutional,” he declared. X : Senz cor Weiss said he had been consid ring the City Manager proposal ‘or some time and predicted that his bill would be introduced next v eek. “Preparing a bill of this sort is a big crder,” he said. “If the people want City Manager, we. ought to give trem a bill that will work.” He dleclared that he didn’t believe that # properly drafted measure containing the proportional representation feature would be unconstitutional, Sen:tor O. Bruce Lane (R. Bainbridge) . commented that Senator Weiss: proposal was undemocratic and would make the City Manager a “cz >” ? Senators Lawrence BE. Carlson (R. Huntingtoh) and Ben Herr (R. Lebanon) also objected to the plan. Senator Carlson asserted that “the same body which appoints a City Manz zer should have the authority to remove him.” Senator Herr commented that under the proposed bill, it “would be possible for a city to have for 10

_ years a manager they didn’t want.”

Senator Weiss’ proposal drew reservec. eomment from Edward J. {Continued on Page Three)

Measure Hits Sale of - Marijuana, Asks Penalty.

While Senate Democrats spent two hours in caucus, the House today passed a resolution calling for a legislative investigation into the method of purchasing materials for the State’s Institutions Building program. The vote was 94 to 0. Another investigation, involving administration of the Welfare Department’s merit system was being prepared for introduction in the Senate next week. : Lieut. Gov. Schricker appointed six Senators to the special committee to investigate present schoolbook adoption methods. : Those named were Senators Walter R. Arnold (D. South Bend), Walter S. Chambers (D. New Castle), Charles R. Morris (D. Salem), O. Bruce Lane (R. Bainbridge), author of the investigation resolution; Thurman A. Biddinger (R. Marion), and Howard V. Johnson (R. Mooresville). No chairman was selected. . “It is. difficult for me to appoint a committee to investigate a State Department in which I am interested as an ex-offiicio member of the State Board of Education,” Lieut. Gov. Schricker said. “I have tried to be as fair as possible and have as far as possible chosen the members of the committee from the Senate Investigation Committee.” Meanwhile, a bill to repeal the postwar Antisyldicalism Act was introduced in the Senate when it reconvened after the caucus.

Senators Call Recess

When it became known among Senate. members this Senator Walter Beardsley (R. Elkhart) planned immediate introduction of the building probe resolution, Democratic Senators called a recess. Senator Beardsley then took his measure to- the House, and: after a conference with Speaker Knapp and Floor Leader Evans, securied its introduction in the lower chamber by Rep. Robert A. Hoover (R. Goshen). The resolution specifically asks that all State institution heads file with the Senate secretary a list of materials purchased from out-of-state contractors and manufacturers. Senator Beardsley said he wanted to determine “whether the spending of $5,651,000 appropriated in the (Continued on Page Three)

The five were captured before they had a chance to get off “the Rock” —the Federal Government's famous penitentiary in San Francisco Bay— despite the thickest fog to blanket the San Francisco area in months.
