ON TUCKER PLEA,
Suspends Reinstatement of Investment Firm Pending ‘Probe.
The reinstatement of an investment company to operate in Indiana today had been ordered suspended by Governor Townsend in a telegram from Florida. The Governor's order followed a telegram from Secretary of State James M. Tucker asking the dismissal of Chester R. Montgomery, State Securities Commissioner.
Mr. Tueker asked the dismissal because he said that Mr. Montgomery reinstated the Fidelity Investment Co. of Wheeling, W. Va., last ‘Monday without Mr. Thcker’s knowledge. Mr. Montgomery's office is operated directly under the Secretary of State. Mr. Tucker, who is in Washington, sent his telegram to the office
here and it was relayed the Gover-
nor in Florida. The Governor's telegram to his office last night merely asked that Mr. Montgomery rescind his reinstatement of the investment company until Mr. Tucker and the Gov-
‘ernor return to the City for a con-
ference. Regarding Mr. Tucker's demand that the Securities Commissioner be dismissed, he stated that the
" |controversy would be settled after
his return to Indiana. The Secretary of State, who is scheduled to return today from Washington, said in his telegram Wednesday night that the Securities Commissioner reinstated the company without conferring with either Mr. Tucker or his chief deputy. Mr. Montgomery explained that he reinstated the company begause the Secretary of State had left the City last Friday and a decision in the matter had to be made immediately. : “Under those circumstances I felt it my duty to act in the matter myself,” Mr. Motgomery explained. Mr. Tucker is a Republican, elected last November, and Mr. Montgomery is a Democrat and an appointee of Governor Townsend.
Stir-Realism i
Artist Smashes Window When - Store ) Clothes! His ‘Nude.
TEW YORK, March 17 w. P.). —Salvador Dali, the sur-
realist artist, was freed today on a
charge of malicious mischief for
wrecking a department store win-
dow display that he had worked all night creating and that the store management had. changed ills he was asleep It was a bathtub scene and there was a wax manikin wearing only red hair and some green feathers. Shoppers had complained that it was obscene. When Mr, Dali returned to admire his work, ad saw a fully dressed manikin standing where he had left a nude one poised in the act of stepping into a fur-lined tub, he was outraged. He jumped into the window, seized the tup and hurled it through the plate glass to the
sidewalk, 2 2 =»
\HEN he slipped and fell out
. the window. He and several passersby escaped unhurt through the shower of glass. Detective
Frank McFarland took the 25-year-old surealist in tow. Magistrate Brodsky recognized the issue of “artistic temperament” and told Dali to go his way, Mr. Dali, a Parisian, was com= missioned by the store to create something. artistic in two of its
display windows. He worked from
6 p. m. Wednesday to.6 a. m. Thursday, and called his finished products “Day” and “Night.” The bath tub was in “Day.” “Night” was a black satin bed on which another wax manikin lay. Under the bed were artificial live coals. Sidewalk art critics were not long in convincing the manage-
ment that both “Day” and “Night”
needed sore dressing up. So the management straightened the “Day” model and put a dress on it, took “Night” out of the bed
and stood it half way across the
room.

BELIEVED PAST
" Boy’ S Brain as | arents Keep Up Vii.
Physicians at St. Fraheis’ Hospital today said 4-year-old Jimmy Grimes probably will live, despite the bullet
wound in his brain. Jimmy was shot in the right eye March 8 by the accidental discharge of a gun his father, Cecil Grimes, 29, was examining in their home near Acton. After removing the bullet from the back of his skull, the doctors gave the grief-stricken parents no hope for Jimmy's recovery.
. Jimmy Surprises Doctors
But Jimmy surprised the doctors by clinging to life. Today the crisis appeared past. The question was not so much whether he would live as whether the bullet wound would affect his brain permanently, possibly leaving him paralyzed. At the hospital, preparations were being made to X-ray the boy’s brain, It was planned, if his condition continues to improve, to move him to the James Whitcomb Riley Hospital for Children next week. Meanwhile, as the semi-conscious child tossed his arms restlessly, Mr. and Mrs. Grimes continued the bedside vigil they have maintained since the day he was taken to the hospital. Dr. H. S. Rabb, his physician, will permit only one person in the room at a time, so the parents take turns watching him, day and night.
Stays at Hospital
Mr. Grimes said he had only been to their farm home once since the accident, and that was to get some clothing. “We didn’t go to bed at all the first week;” he said, “but now we get a little sleep at the home of a friend near here.” Hospital attendants said Jimmy occasionally speaks, sometimes telling them they are hurting’ him when they dress his wound, or calling “mamma.”
Sharon Now [f
‘Nose’ Pussy Willow Smell
Nine-year-old Sharon Wishart, daughter of Mrs. Elijah Mossburg, 2852 MacPherson Ave, had a sore nose today because she was curious to learn what a pussy willow bud
“smells like. Gazing at several sticks of the shrub at School 76 yesterday, she decided on a closeup smell. In fact she smelled too closely and one of the buds lodged in ‘her nose. She was taken to City Hospital where the bud, botanically known as a silky ament or spike, was removed, along with Sharon’s love for pussy willow.
CITES JAPAN'S LAND NEAR PANAMA CANAL
WASHINGTON, March 17. — Japan controls land in Costa Rica large enough for a flying field, and within 300 miles. of the Panama Canal, Army officers told the Hotise Committee on Merchant and Marine Fisheries in a closed session yesterday. The land is planted in sugar. It is only about 30 miles from the site of the proposed Nicaraguan Canal. The committee is considering measures to build a third set of|a locks at the Panama Canal, a Nicaraguan Canal, or a canal across the|in Isthmus of Tehuntepec, Mexico. The first of these proposals is the only one favored by the Army and Navy, and the House committee seems inclined to follow their recommendations. -

- ous criticisms have been made
against him. Most of them are un-
justified. But very soon the dissate : ‘|isfaction will be greater.
“Next year the faxes will increase 50 per cent without rhyme or reason. Then the dissatisfaction will be greater. By the time these taxes are 6 per cent for old-page pensions and 6 per cent for unemployment, both employers and. employees are going to become angry. The burden
will be very great. They will blame °
the Social Security system. “But those taxes for years to come will be high, not because old= age pensions require them, but because the Government needs the money for its own expenditures. Mr. Flynn proposed “freezing” the employer-employee tax at its. present rate, 1 per cents He said ‘the Social Security Advisory Board's recommendation of 2 per cent is “enormously execssive.” Under present law the tax is scheduled to increase to 1% per cent on Jan, 1, 1940. “Do you think,” asked Rep. Frank H. Buck (D. Cal), “that the Government is financing itself out of these taxes?”
{‘Of -course not completely,” Mr. *
Flynn said, adding that the tax was | “weird device” -of Government fAnance that will have the effect of increasing the amount of taxes and the amount of deficits.
