Senate Comniittee Scans Bridge Which Would

Assistance in Ft. Knox Attack:

By TIM

A bill which may bring Ft. Knox, Ky., and part of the nation’s ‘reserve supply of gold within the protective reach of Ft. Harrison is to be acted on by the Senate Committee on Roads today or tomorrow,

it was learned today.

Col, J. H. Davidson, executive officer at Ft. Harrison, said that Le had heard the plan ‘has been under consideration for some time, Senatoro————

The bill, introduced by iCharles Morris (R., Salem), would abolish present county bridge commissions and create a State toll ‘bridge commission of three members to buy, build or operate ‘boundary line bridges. The immediate necd for this bill, according to its author. was caused by an amenoment in the present ‘law made in 1937 providing that if ‘tolls were not ufficierit to pay for

‘the upkeep of bridges, county high-|

- way funds cuuld he used. This Las ‘threatened to bankrupt several ‘county treasuries, Senator Morris explained. Gives Power to Sell Bonds

The State commission would have the power to sell bonds to finance the bridge at Bra.adenburg, if a buyer could be found. If the bridge were built trafic would demand the improvement of Road 135. State Highway 135, of which more than two-thirds is not paved with concrete, curves from Indianapolis for approximaiely 150 miles to the Brandenburg ferry on the Ohio River just 11 miles from the world’s largest supply of gold, Senator Norris pointed out. Bad paving and the lack of a bridge at Brandenburg prevent this direct route from being practicai as a speedway for Ft. Harrison transports in case of an attack on Ft. Knox. Roads 37 and 31 now carry practically all the 'Indianapolis-Louis-ville traffic. These two main arteries border an’ area approximately 45 miles wide and 100 miles long and a main highway running through the center of this area would not only cut down the traveling time hetween the two cities but serve those people who live within this area, Senator Morris said. He said he understood plans for the improved highway already have been drawn up by the State Highway Department.

. Wants Bridge Built First

It is necessary to build the bridge first, Senator Morris said, “because if the road were built first the

ferry at Brandenburg could not|1941

handle the increased traffic.” There is at present a privately owned bridge and a municipal bridge into Louisville, The proposed Brandenburg crossing would shorten {the distance to Ft. Knox by more than 30 miles, the Senator explained, " Under provisions of the Morris bill, the State Toll Bridge Commission wculd be a three-man Board appointed by the Governor on a stagger basis of one, two and threeyear terms. The commission if created would have no control over existing privately owned bridges, Senator Morris said. A bill similar to Senator Morris’s has been introduced in the House by Representative Herbert Copeland '(R. Madison). The House bill is still in committee.

CITY MANAGER PLAN ACTION DUE IN HOUSE

Commission for Study Is to Be Approved.

The House Judiciary “B” Committee was scheduled to report out favorably today a House joint resolution setting up a commission to study the best possible methods for providing Indiana‘ cities with a city manager plan, At the same time an identical ‘joint Senate resolution, passed by the Senate, continued to be withheld from transfer to the House. It "was being held, according to Democratic Senators, to permit its recail to change the reporting date of| the commission to after the 1940 general election. Both resolutions now provide that the commission shall report Oct. 1, 1940. Another Measure Held Up Another measure to enable Indiana cities to establish the manager form of government lay in Senate committee. The measure, introduced early in the session by Senator William Jenner (R. Shoals), minority floor leader, will be permitted to die in committee to make

The Senate resolution was held on a written motion: filed: by Senator Claude B. McBride (D. Jeffer‘sonville). Senator Jacob Weiss (D. Indianapolis) declared the purpose was to withdraw it to make the reporting date Dec. 1, 1940 and prevent its becoming an issue In the 1940 election.

Senator Biddinger to Ask For Two-Year Study Of Adoptions.

Senator Thurman A. Biddinger (R. Marion) announced today he will ask the Senate Textbook Investigating Committee, of which he is a member, to sponsor a resolution calling for a two-year study of textbook adoption methods by a bipartisan commission. His announcement came as the Committee prepared to interview labor leaders as the final witnesses in the four-week probe of present adoption methods. Yesterday Governor Townsend: suggested that the Legislature compel local school units to furnish free or rent textbooks to pupils. This system was started in Philadelphia in 1818 and has been increasingly popular, according to Editorial Research Reports Senator Biddinger, who has done the major share of questioning witnesses for the Committee, said his proposal would empower the special commission to sit in on textbook adoption meetings of the State Board of Education and study adoption methods of other states.

Problem Proves Complex

“Our investigation so far has showed us that the problem is very complex and I'm afraid if we tried to draft a law hurriedly at this session that we might make the situationn worse instead of better” he said. After the commission has completed its study, it would draft a bill to be presented to the Legislature in

Each member of the State Board of Education has testified before the Committee except President-emer-itus William Lowe Bryan of Indiana University. Several of the witnesses have recommended changing the single adoption to a multiple adoption system. Governor Townsend, who appoints the Board, said he was “neutral” on this point. According - to the Editorial Research Reports, Indiana, South Carolina and Tennessee were the only states that neither required nor authorized the general distribution of textbooks at public expense.

List Arguments Pro and Con The study set out ‘he arguments pro and con regarding free textbooks. Some of the most significant “pro” statements were:

With death of the 75-year-old Gaekwar of Baroda, Grandson Shrimant Maharajkumur Singh Gaekwar, above, becomes ruler of one of the richest states in India.

tion of most authorities is that a free textbook system offers substantial savings, the report stated. / “In any event, the inauguration of a free textbook system should not involve any great increase in school taxes since the cost of textbooks averages only 1 or 2 per cent of total school expenses.”

POLICE MISS TARGET, TO FACE SUSPENSION

WILMINGTON, Del, Feb. 9 (U. P.).—In a target practice, at least one Wilmington policeman missed the target completely and several others made unusually low scores. As a result, the public safety directors have decreed that each policeman must either be a crack pistol shot, or face suspension from the force until he becomes one. “It's dangerous to allow them on the streets with revolvers,” said the president of the directors.

TRAFFIC COURT WITH FULL-TIME JUDGE IS ASKED

To Present County Plan To Legislature

A bill to create a Marion County trafic court with a full-time judge may be presented to the State Legislature by the Citizens Safety Zommittee. Organization of the Court was recommended by a committee headed by Municipal Court Judge Charles J. Karabell who said that

45,000 traffic cases filed annually and do justice to other routine court cases. “Traffic cases together with other cases such as burglary, larceny, robbery and intoxication make it almost humanly impossible for the Municipal courts to give traffic violations the attention they require,” Judge Karabell told the Citizens Safety Committee at a luncheon! meeting at the Indianapolis Athletic Club. Similar Courts Elsewhere - Reputable citizens arrested for infractions of traffic laws are forced to mingle with hardened criminals as the Municipal Court now is organized, he commented. Fines and costs paid by traffic violators will more than pay the cost of the proposed court, he claimed. Judge Karabell told the commit-

have jurisdiction of all traffic violations in both the City and the Country. Similar courts have been formed in Cleveland, Detroit and Cincinnati and are recommended by the Police Chiefs’ Association and the National Safety Council for all communities where traffic cases exceed 15,000 a year. Committee to Draft Bill

James P. Tretton, Indianapolis Railways general manager and Citizens Safety Committee president, appointed the following committee to draft the traffic cout, bill for the Legislature: Dan C. Hess, chairman; R. C. Griswold, ‘Adolph Fritz, Superior Court Judge Henry O. Goett and J. J. Liddy. Chief Morrissey discussed with the committee the need for a bicycle registration and licensing ordinance. A survey of bicycle traffic is being made by a subcommittee, which is expected to recommend such an ordinance, he said.

“Free textbooks make educational facilities more nearly equal and, complete. “They promote uniformity of text. books and efficiency of instruction. “They promote economy’ when changes in textbooks are made, and they avoid the unpleasant 'distinction of ‘charity pupils’ when parents cannot afford to buy books.” Arguments against the free textbook system were: “Pupils are api to receive worn and unattractive: books. “Free textboks discourage home libraries and pride that comes from individual ownership. “Textbooks used by different pupils may be insanitary. “The expense of free textbooks increases school taxes.” Two states, California and Kansas, print their own textbooks for use in the public schools, it was stated. “Insufficient data are available to make an accurate comparison of ihe relative cost of free individually owned textbooks, but the assump-
