| Lane to Conduct Second Session This Week In Inquiry. |

«1 Members of the State Board of School Book Commissioners are to be asked to testify before the Sen ate Textbook Investigation Committee this week, Senator O. Bruce Lane (R. Bainbridge), committee _ chairman, said today. * Floyd I. McMurray, State Super-

intendent of Public Instruction, first|’

witness called when -the investigating committee held its initial

that former Governor McNutt or Governor Townsend had sought to influence schoolbook selections. THe committee was to remain ad- ? Journed until further call of its chairman. The State Board of Schoolbook Commissioners is the name which the State Board of e Ed: cation assumes when it considers text adoptions. Permanent and exofficio members of the Board include Governor Townsend, Lieut. Gov. Henry PF. Schricker, Mr. McMurray; Deane : Walker, Marshall County school superintendent; Miss Verna Hoke, Gary school principal; L. A. - Pittenger, Ball State Teachers’ ColArthur Campbell, Anderson city school superintendent; Louis B. Dirks, DePauw University dean of men, and William Lowe Bryan, Indiana University bresident emeritus. . - Asked by Senator Howard Johnson (R. Mooresville) “whether he thought, as did Lieut. Gov. Schrick8 er, that the textbook business was a racket,” Mr. McMurray answered, “No, sir.” :

“Worst in State”

When the resolution for the textbook investigation was introduced in the Senate, Mr. Schricker re- ¢ marked from the floor that the textbook “racket is the worst in the ‘State, next to the beer racket.” Mr. McMurray also testified that Fs he had not heard of any impro- ~ prieties in the letting of contracts for books, 2 Mr. McMurray also told the committee that neither Former Governor McNutt nor: Governor Townsend ever had brought any pressure to bear in the selections of books. ¢ Senator Lane charged that he had been informed that the Board had ‘selected a civies book in-the face of recommendations for an- # other text by a “majority of the teachers” in the State: Mr. MecMurray answered that many books up for consideration received numerous recommendations from

i . teachers and that it was an im-

possibility for him to state whether . ‘a majority were in favor of the rejected book or not. . “There are 23,000 teachers in Indiana,” he said. A majority of the committee members indicated through . their] » questions that they favored a Sys= tem whereby the Governor would not have the appointive power over the Board that he holds at present. Six of the nine members of the ? Board are appointed under the present system by the Governor, two are elective, and the Governor is the ninth member, .

“I Do Not Agree...”

Mr. McMurray said he thought the Board has been the subject of * repeated investigations “for the last 25 years,” and fear that the Governor might have too much influence, might be responsible for the present “racket” charges. . Asked if he had heard anything .about a “rakeoff” in the last book letting, Mr. McMurray said: “I have never been approached by any of the book agents with anything that resembled a bribe and I do not agree with any man who +® thinks that either the book agents or the Board are conducting a racket.” ; In regard to frequent changes in ¢ the textbooks, one of the factors

+, prompting the present investigation,

Mr. McMurray. said: “As long as there are changes in the world we will have to change ® our textbooks. A geography book that was printed five or six years ago would have nothing in it about our reforestation or the great dust- + bowl and its effect on life today. In “

MANAGER DRIVE

Leaders Meet Tomorrow to Plan Introduction in Legislature.

Indianapolis and Indiana Junior Chambers of Commerce are to meet tomorow noon to continue discussion of plans to carry the city manager plan to the Legislature, it was announced today. : ‘The meeting follows conferences yesterday between Edward J. Green, Indianapolis Junior Chamber president, and Senators William E. Jenner (R. Shoals) and Jacob Weiss (D. Indianapolis). - Senator Jenner is author of a bill now waiting committee action in the Senate which would enable cities to choose the city manager plan, and elect a council under the proportional = representation system. The Council could - appoint the manager and dismiss him at

will, ; ‘Open to Criticism’

Senator Weiss has announced he will introduce a bill this week to permit present city councils to name a manager and engage him under a 10-year contract. Mr. Green said both Senators Jenner and Weiss “indicated they were amenable to constructive criticism in regard to their plans.” The Indianapolis Junior Chamber, meanwhile, .continued to seek co-operation of five other organi-; zations in mapping a unified course of action. White, Evans Opposed The groups are: Indiana Chamber of Commerce, Society of Professional Engineers, Indianapolis Council of- Women, Indianapolis City Manager League and the League of Women Voters. Each organization has gone on record independently in favor of the city manager plan, The . organizations have the choice of introducing their own measure, supporting Senator Jenner’s bill, backing Senator Weiss’ proposal or seeking a constitutional amendment. : = Senator E. Curtis White (D. Indianapolis), president pro tem., and Rep. H. H. Evans (R. New Castle), majority floor leader, have said ‘they are opposed to the city manager form of government.

the last 10 years there have been 5000 words added to the dictionary.”

Defends History Book

Asked why a certain book was selected over another book when the price was 31 cents higher for the adopted book, Mr. McMurray explained that books are selected not only with cost in mind but also from the standpoint of the quality of the contents and durability of the book. “I believe that we must place in

the hands of our children the best tools we possibly can to prepare them in their task of facing a modern, changing world,” he said. - The Civil War was discussed for an hour after Senator Lane asked ‘Mr. McMurray to explain the controversy over a ‘history textbook adopted by the State, which a patriotic organization has charged is biased toward the South. Senator Lane said the organization charged that the book . was written by a Southerner, had no pictures of Abraham Lincoln and did not contain the Gettysburg address. Mr. McMurray showed the committee the book in question and four pictures of Lincoln scattered through the contends. - He also pointed out that the book was writ~ ten by a man born and educated in Illinois and that the book replaced one written by a Southerner.

The bill, which the Senate Labor Committee considered yesterday, would amend the present law, increasing (the benefits to a maximum of $24.75 a week. It also would put

employer and allows compensation for impairment in addition to disability. The present $5000 maximum benefit would be erased. Insurance ‘carriers would be prohibited from taking an accident statement until a claim had been filed and attorneys fees would have to "be approved by the industrial board.

At the committee meeting yes-

Reciprocal Association, representatives of Indiana insurance companies and the General Motors Corp. opposed the measure, declaring that it would raise compensation rates. The measure was defended by Adolph Fritz, Indiana Federation of Labor secretary. The most vigorous debates came over the clause providing for the removal of the $5000 maximum compensation payment for total disability. Also scheduled for introduction in the Senate ‘within the next few days is a measure to regulate and license real estate brokers and salesmen. Earl B. Teckemeyer, Indianapolis, president of the Indiana

‘Real Estate Association, said fhe

‘hill would ‘be brought in by Senator Fredérick E. Eichhorn (D. Gary). “In sponsoring this act for passage, our group is: finally doing what 33 other states have done for the protection of the public in their real estate ° transactions,” Mr. Teckemeyer said. . “The bill is not for our benefit but solely for the protection of the interests of individuals who deal in real estate and with real estate hrokers and salesmen, whether it be one deal for the purchase of a home or 100 investment deals.” To reduce waste which might result from boom conditions in the new oil fields of southwestern Indiana, Prof. Ralph Esarey, geology division director of the State Conservation Department, is to discuss needed preventive legislation with the chairmen of the Natural Resources Committee of the Senate and House. Measures are expected to be introduced to fix the distance between wells and to require capping of abandoned workings,

‘Conservative Bills Up

‘Three bills embodying the legislative program of 847 conservation clubs in the State now are pending in the House. One of these measures would enable Indiana to bene-

fit from the Pitman-Robinson Act of Congress and accept approximately $100,000 a year available for wildlife propagation and restoration. The others would provide for issuance of 14-day fishing permits to nonresidents. of the State instead of 10-day permits and would set up a method by which the State could take title to tax delinquent lands and give supervision of lands thus obtained to the State Conservation Department. Under close scrutiny was a House bill, introduced yesterday, to license vending machines. The license fee would be based upon the value of the coin or token to be inserted for the machine’s operation, and would range from $1 a year for a 1-cent machine to $50 a year for a 25-cent and over machine. Opponents of the measure said the bill's definition of ga vending machine was so broad as to include slot machines. The bill was introduced by Rep. Russell N. Gavit (D. Hammond). : To House bills were reported favorably toflay by the:House Cities and Towns Committee. They would exempt all municipally owned or operated utilities from State taxation and prohibit the holding of Municipal Court sessions on legal holidays. Also reported out was a measure

The Senate Cities and Towns Committee reported favorably on a

Whether he succeeded remains to be seen. Bit, correspondence which has been revealed adds that he has harmed himself with the public more than ever, and he has never been what might be called a popular figure. The morale of the entire German nation is represented to be noticeably on the wane just now, despite the fact that, from the point of view of come-back, the year 1938 was ‘the most brilliant since the World War.

Some other reason, therefore, must be sought. One answer suggested is the perpetual Strain to which the German population is being steadily subjected—the day and night strain undergone by those living on the slopes of a smoking volcano, ~ Thanks to the policies pursued by their Fuehrer, there can be no felling when an explosion might come, from within or from without. For instance, German reservists— and practically every able-bodied male within the Reich is a reservist —have been ordered to be ready for service early this year.
