IN INDIANA WPA ROLLS ORDERED

Harrington Calls for Slash After House Approves 100 Million Sum.

(Continued from Page One) gene B. Crowe, William H. Larrabee and Mr. Ludlow. Rep. John W. Boehne Jr. was absent when his name was called. That the 150 million dollars may be restored by the Senate was the hope expressed today by Senator Minton (D. Ind), who will aid other New Dealers in the effort to obtain that amount. “ While the House was in a turmoli voting down all other amounts either greater or less than the 100 million dollars Senators Minton, Pepper (D. Fla.) and Schwellenbach (D. Wash.) began a preliminary skirmish for WPA on the Senate floor. Lecture ‘Cotton Ed’ All lectured Senator Cotton Ed Smith (D. S. C.) for talking aboni persons on WPA as being "no good, as he did in a speech on Thursday. and for charging that WPA is a bribe bv the Government. Senator Minton began by reading a letter he received from Mrs. Ethel Vaughn, 713 W. 13th St, Indianapolis. which stated: “I am an emplovee of the WPA znd this work has helped me wonderfullv., and I certainly have appreciated what has been done for me. as I am a widow and the mother of one child that's depending on me for support and a home to care for. and will vou please extend this work a little longer as I hate to go back to direct relief. as I am eligible and want to work, as I have no one to help me in any respect.” Asserting that he did not so much mind the slur on the S2nate, as con-

tained in the suggestion that they!

would vote a bribe, as he did the slighting references to WPA workers, Senator Minton said: “I want to stand up here and speak for the Ethel Vaughns who are scattered throughout this countrv and are wholly dependent upon WPA for jobs. Shows Willingness to Work “Certainly her letter shows that she is willing to work and far prefers to earn her wav than to depend upon charity, a handout or a dole. These are the people who cannot come here and speak for themselves, It is high time some one defended them against the unJust attacks of traducers. Senator Smith will soon be here again asking for manv millions to help solve the cotton problem. a performance he has put on so many times it has given him a title— Cotton Ed “We don’t have any cotton in Indiana. but I realize that the cotton surplus problem is greater than South Carolina or the entire South. It is a national problem and we must try and solve it by national action “But so is unemployment. Only the national Government can cope with it. This we are trying to do. in small measure, through the WPA."

Local WPA Officials Prepare to Trim Rolls

Mr. Jennings today said that although he had not received the wire from Col. Harrington. he had

anticipated cutting about 4000 per-|

sons from the rolls if the House approved only the 100 million dollar figure. Next week WPA officials are expected to scan their relief rolls to determine who shall be dropped. Mr. Jennings has said that a reduetion in the rolls will result in many families being returned to their counties for direct relief,

A. F. L. and C. I. 0. Asked

For Wagner Act Views WASHINGTON, April 1 (U. P) Chairman Marvy T. Norton «D. N. J) of the House Labor Committee asked the A F. of L. and C. 1. O today to submit their views on proposed amendmenis to the WageHour Law, Their answers were expected soon since the Committee hopes to report the amendments without extended hearings. Opposing views of the A. F. of L.C. I. O. on administrative procedure of the act complicated enactment of the Jaw by Congress a year ago. The two groups now differ over proposed changes in the Wagner Labor Relations Act, the A. F. of L. sponsoring a set of amendments, the C. I. O. opposing any change. Major changes under Mrs. Nortons measure wouid exempt white collar workers from the hours and overtime provisions of the law, if they are guaranteed a monthly salAry of $200 or more, and permission for agricultural and perishable goods industries to work emplovees up to 12 hours a day and 36 hours a week.

ASHINGTON. April 1.—Although Paul McNutt's supporters have been none too friendly at times toward Senator VanNuyvs. the Philippine High Commissioner's backers did not hesitate to pick up bodily one of the Senator's campaign ideas in their drive to boost the former Governor into the Presidency. That idea is the “direct-by-mail” campaign. Senator VanNuys. fighting the State House machine for renomination last vear. had a ' direct-byv-mail advertising expert help him plan his attack. From VanNuvs headquarters poured 100.000 letters to both Democrats and Republicans in InEach letter contained a return postcard. Ben Stern, the Senator's secretary, claiméd a great return. He contended it played a part in getting the Senator renomination on the first ballot. Anyway the McNutt forces now are using the same type of attack. Democratic Senators and Congressmen here all have received personal letters from Frank

McHale. Indiana’s Democratic Na-

tional Committeeman, and Mrs. Samuel Ralston, national committeewoman. Though Washington a sophisticated city, it is not adverse to clever tactics and one political observer expressed his approval. He said it was “verv smart.” “Anyone likes to receive a letter.” he said, “even if he knows it is a circular one. If those MecNutt letters are scattered around throughout the country, there will be plenty of persons flashing them with great effect. I don't believe, however, they'll be much of a factor with the Senators and Congressmen.

Senator Minton is sporting a small black ball with the number § on it on his coat lapel. It seems to represent his position in trying to put Pleas Greenlee in Will Smith's job as Internal Revenue Collector at Indianapolis. But the Senator denies that it accurately describes his status at the White House at the present time. He still is 100 per cent pro-Roosevelt and vice versa. That eight ball, however, may mean something if F. D. R. seeks a third term, with PVM already in the race.

Church Built By Minister And Family

A church, built by its pastor and congregation after more than a year's work, will be dedicated tomorrow on the birthday anniversaries of the pastor and his wife. Working every dav except Sunday with the help of his family and church members, the Rev. Walter Speck dug the basement, laid the foundation and bricks and finally installed the woodwork. Today the Pilgrim Church at 1733 E. 46th St. has been completed. The basement was dug with the aid of his 17-year-old son. Glenn Robert, a student at Broad Ripple High School, who drove the family car which pulled the large shovel guided by his father. Another son, Dale. also helped. Funds were donated by church members and friends. The church formerly was located in the 4500 block Sangster Ave, a remodeled residence. The Rev. Speck. who has been pastor here seven vears, will be 45 tomorrow. It also is his wife's birthdav. The church dedication ceremonies will be at 2 p. m.

The (plan has met with widespread approval of the industries involved.” Meanwhile, the State Health Board is studying the new pneumonia serum law to determine if the 875000 annual appropriation can be used to bhuv sulfapyridine, a new drug used in treating pneumonia. “The State Board mav ask the Attornev General for an opinion on the matter.” Dr. Harvey said. “Whether the Legislature intended the money to be used for drugs as well as serum is the question to be determined.”

HOLD BROTHERS IN CCC CAMP MURDER

MT. CARROLL. Ill. April 1 (U. P.).—Two teen-age brothers were held to the Grand Jury today on a charge of murder in the slaying of Lieut. Paul La Master, 36, commander of a CCC camp. who was shot to death at the camp office vesterday during a $1300 payroll holdrp. The prisoners are John Collins. 17. and his brother, Clarence, 15. Chicagoans. John had been an enrollee at the camp but was discharged three months ago. A posse of 125 CCC enroliees and deputy sheriffs seized the youths last night in a field two miles east of Mt. Carroll. They maintained their innocence. :

Rep. William H. Larrabee (D. Ind.) took the Indiana congressional delegation into Postmaster General Farley's office to present a petition of Hancock County school children urging issuance of a James Whitcomb Riley stamp. Mr. Farley assured them steps already are being taken and Senator Minton is shown reading a letter in President Roosevelt in which the Riley stamp is recommended, Left to right are Reps.

part of the credit for the new James Whitcomb Riley commemorative stamp. Rep. Ludlow was first on record with the request but Rep. Larrabee arranged the presentation of the petition from Hancock Countv school children and prepared a nice little speech about the Hoosier poet's old home at Greenfield. But the Postmaster General blocked that by saying the stamp issue was all set; as soon as the President approved it. When Rep. Eugene Crowe pleaded to let Rep. Larrabee continue, Mr. Farley said: “Why not get leave to print and put it in the Congressional Record?” At this point, Rep. Ludlow interrupted to point out that “Riley lived most of his adult life at the Lockerbie St. house in Indianapolis.”

MNUTT GAINING

Thousands of Party Leaders Are on Mailing List for Booster Pamphlets.

Several hundred thousand copies | of a pamphlet “selling” Paul V. Mc- | Nutt to the nation as a 1940 Presi-, dential candidate will be mailed | within a few days to leaders in the Democratic organizations of every county in the United States. The pamphlets, printed under the direction of the McNutt for President Clubs, first made their appearance this week in Washington ac-| companying personal letters sent to members of Congress and other Government leaders bv Frank M. McHale, Mr. McNutt's campaign manager, :

Mr. McHale said enthusiastic replies to his letters asking suvport for McNutt already were coming into campaign headquarters at tie Claypool Hotel. “We got more than 20 replies in the first two mails vesterdav. and thevre coming in faster nox,’ he said. Called ‘Budget Balancer’

Among those receiving the pamphlets are more than 5000 former delegates to national Democratic conventions. The pamphlet lists Mr. McNutt as “the budget balancer,” and “a born leader.” | Excerpts: “Indiana face a seven million dollar treasury deficit when Paul V. McNutt became Governor in 1933." “When Governor McNutt retired, | Indiana had a 10 million dollar sur- | plus, no State debt: no school door had been closed and every teacher! had been paid; Social Security in operation yet total taxes reduced.” “He met the emergency. Indiana had breadlines; storming mobs cn the steps of the State Capitol: bankruptey of municipalities. and breakdown of local relief agencies when Paul V. McNutt became Governor. But not for long.”

‘Happiness’ Pictured

“The Hoosier State was a scone of happiness where men and women felt secure in their jobs and homes. and where contentment and good feeling reigned when he retired ss Governor “Indiana enjoyed a measure of prosperity at the conclusion of Gavernor McNutt's administration which was above the average for states of the nation.”

April Fool!

Times Special BLOOMINGTON, April 1. — Indiana University students ribbed their eves and looked again when they picked up The Daily Student, campus newspaper, today. A headline said: “Final Exams to Be Abolished.” Below it was spread out the news that university officials had resolved to dismiss the final examination period In all departments upon recommendation of the Self-Survey Committee. Students flooded the editor's office with phone calls wanting to know more. Faculty members called university officials wanting to know what the deuce. Officials called the editor wanting to know what the deuce. Finally Night Editor David Richardson gave up and had his laugh. “It’s the best April Fool stunt I've ever pulled,” he said.

TUCKER INSISTS

ONAID'S QUSTER

| Renews Fire on Montgomery Despite End to Row Over Investment Firm.

Although over reinstatement of an investment firm to operate in Indiana had been settled today, Secretary of State James M. Tucker said he will renew his demand that Securities Commissioner Chester R. Montgomery be | dismissed. | The Fidelity Investment Co. was 'reinstated by Mr. Tucker on the condition that it comply with a new rule adopted by the Securities Com- | mission, requiring firms to put up at least $10,000 collateral to pro‘tect investors.

Acts on Jackson's Advice

The new rule was invoked. Mr. Tucker said. upon the advice of Attorney General Omer S. Jackson that the procedure was legal. The regulation serves the same purpose as provisions in a measure introduced in the last Legislature, but never passed, he said. Two weeks ago. Mr. Montgomery, whose office operates directly under the Secretary of State, reinstated the firm while Mr. Tucker was out of the city.

The Secretary of State, then in

Washington, wired Governor Town- | send, demanding that the Securi-

ties Commissioner, an appointee of the Governor, be dismissed on the ground of insubordination.

Demands Removal

Mr. Montgomery defended his action by explaining that the firm was | qualified to operate in Indiana. The | Governor then ordered the reinstatement rescinded, pending an inquiry.

“Reinstatement of the firm does

not change my attitude in regard to my demand that the Governor remove the Commissioner,” Mr. Tucker said. “I have been waiting to have a conference with the Governor but he has not called.”

Herbert Kenney, Legislative Bu-| reau director, said he believed the | House Clerk or Speaker could be | “mandated in court to certify the] resolution.” The House Clerk’s register of pro-! ceedings shows the House concurred | in the Senate's amendments to the resolution on March 1. Senator Jacob Weiss (D. Indianapolis), who sponsored some amendments to the resolution. had contended that certification by the House clerk “can be done any time! up to midnight of the election ini 1940." "That resolution is valid and if any of the parties decline to act under it they can be mandated to] do so in any county court,” Senator | Weiss said. “The General Assembly | is still alive and business can be! transacted until it dies on election.” |

Jr. C. of C. to Investigate

The city manager committee of the Indianapolis Junior Chamber of Commerce. one of the civic organizations which sponsored the | resolution, held a meeting yester-

day afternoon and decided to investigate the situation. Another meeting of the committee has been scheduled for next week. Members indicated they felt] that the error was accidental and that the persons designated to make | the appointments to the Commis- | sion could make the appointments without the certification. Rep. Howard Batman (D. Terre Haute), who led the fight for the resolution on the floor of the House, said he would confer with Governor Townsend and Attorney General Omer Stokes Jackson next week 0 determine what action could be! taken to guarantee the measure's operation. The resolution was introduced in the House of Representatives early in the session and was passed a month later by that chamber and! sent to the Senate.

U. S. CHAMBER URGES GHANGES

IN WAGNER ACT

Charges Government Is

Made Biased Participant In Labor Disputes.

WASHINGTON, April 1 (U, P).— The UU. S. Chamber of Commerce charged today that the Wagner Act relations between It urged six major amendments to make the law “operate fairly.” The Chamber's amendments, drafted by its Department of Manu=facture Committee and approved by the board of directors, were de= scribed as “essential to the correction of manifest unfairness and injustices resulting from the language of the act or from its administration and as promotive of sound Federal policy with respect to labor relations.” The committee said the present act “has promoted public disorder and disregard for personal property rights. in defiance of constitutional and statutory safeguards. It has | injected the Federal Government as an active and biased participant into the field of labor disputes, not only as between employers and em= but also as between rival organizations of labor.”

What Chamber Seeks

Specific amendments urged by the Chamber would: 1. Give employers the express right to petition for determination of which union represents a major=ity of their employees and require the National Labor Relations Board to take action on employers’ petitions. 2. Guarantee employers the right of free speech in discussing unione ism with their workers. 3. Prohibit coercion of workmen in their right to organize by em=

ployers, employees or labor unions.

4. Limit the right of unions to bargain collectively to their own membership instead of giving them exclusive bargaining rights if they represent a majority of all employees. 5. Outlaw closed shop contracts.

Hearings Begin April 11
