PARTISAN LINES “SPLIT COUNCIL ON PROCEDURE

Campbell Charges Members Bunch of ‘Yes Men’ for Department Heads.

For the first time since its organization, the new City Council today was split along partisan lines with Republicans and Democrats sharply disagreeing on the procedure for introducing new

RINE

ordinances. Hitherto working

camps after the Democratic majority defeated an amendment to Council procedure which would have required all new ordinances to be introduced and sponsored by one or more Councilmen. The amendment was introduced and supported by the Republican minority.

Emerging as minority leader pro tem, Harmon A. Campbell rose immediately after the defeat of the proposal and announced that henceforth he would oppose any new ordinance which was not sponsored by a Councilman.

Campbell Cites Example

Attacking the present procedure ‘By which any City department or citizen can introduce an ordinance, Mr. Campbell charged that Council was becoming “a bunch of yes men for City department heads and outside interests.” He asserted that members were lax in studying new measures, He cited as example the passage last meeting of a $3400 Park Department appropriation to buy a 37-acre addition to the Sarah Shank golf course which members later discovered cost $11,100. “We didn't know until after we passed the appropriation that it was only the down payment” he said. “We thought we were getting a bargain.” Republicans favored the amendment asserting it would force members to be responsible for knowing the details of new measures, would make Council operate in a more “pusinesslike” fashion and would cut down the volume of new ordinances.

Ropkey Leads Democrats

Democrats, led by Ernest C. Ropkey, opposed the measure because they said it would strip City boards and departments of their power and require Councilmen to spend many hours making investigations which should be made by full-time City employees. Mr. Ropkey, who as finance committee chairman, recommended passage of the $3400 appropriation, said he had misunderstood the measure, but did not feel he should accept responsibility for it. ot is it possible,” he said, “for us to know the details of every ordinance introduced up here? Look at the budget we're going to be faced with soon. If anybody tells me he understands that, he's crazy. d if you don't understand it, you'll go crazy trying to figure it out.” Joseph G. Wood, Council president, said: “One of the reasons I'm against the amendment is because it would shatter a precedent Council has been following for, perhaps, 50 years.” Argument Starts

Dr. Walter Hemphill, Republican: “That's funny. I'll bet there isn't a Democrat in the United States, with the possible exception of the Indiana Democrats, who ever paid any attention to precedent. You're against this because it was introduced by a Republican.” Mr. Ropkey: “Let's not get party affiliation into this.” Mr. Campbell: “It's in it already. You've deliberately made a party issue out of it.” Mr. Wood: have.” Mr. Campbell: have.” After being deadlocked in committee, the amendment was reported out without recommendation. Mr. Campbell then moved its passage. The Republican minority, including Mr. Campbell, Dr. Hemphill and Ralph Moore, voted “aye” and the Democrats, including Mr. Wood, Mz. Ropkey, Albert O. Deluse, Ollie A. Bach and Guy O. Ross shouted “noes.” F. B. Ransom, Democrat, was absent.

Cab Ordinances Delayed

Council tabled action on two taxicab ordinances, one of which would revise minimum rates from 15 cents to the first mile and one-half to 10 cents for the first mile, Action also was deferred on a measure which would force property owners to remove shrubs more than 44 inches high which are within 25 feet of an intersection. Council passed ordinances making 11th St. a one-way street and prohibiting parking on it from Centrat Ave. to Alabama St, Leroy J. Keach, Safety Board president, informed members that any further action on the placing of parking meters downtown would have to be taken by the Works Board. He said the Safety Board will turn over its data on a parking meter study to the Works Board as soon as it is requested.

A 10-year-old boy borrowed $6 buy a pig.

During those years Ted not only has been crowned Indiana junior champion breeder of Chester White hogs, but has brought increasing prosperity to his family, helped his sister finish her home economic studies at Purdue and bought his own clothes. Ted’s mother, Mrs. Oscar G. Blank, said the reason he borrowed the $6 from his aunt is that neither she nor her husband had the money to lend him at the time.

Litter Dead-—He Cried

He bought a Duroe Jersey gilt from a boy who had been enrolled in the Maripn County Pig Club. The gilt had placed first in the County show. “When farrowing time came, I had a nice stall fixed in our cow barn,” Ted said. “The gilt had 10 pigs. My father came in one morning and told me one of them was dead and I cried. All 10 of them died and I sure felt disappointed.” But he had better luck the next year with Chester Whites and his 4-H Club project began to prosper.

Ted Blank figures how his prize Chester White will help pay expenses at Purdue.

$6 Borrowed 7 Years Ago To Pay College Expenses

out winning prizes. Later he won dozens of ribbons, medals and cash awards. Each year Ted sold part of the litters, kept some, and reinvested the money from his sales. He expanded his business into the beef field. His father moved from a smaller farm to the one they rent now. It is a 250-acre farm on R. R. 1, Bridgeport.

‘Plenty of Work at Home®

Ted entered and won pig, beef and corn judging contests and even went to the International Livestock Exposition at Chicago. Then he became a junior leader, a club boy who teaches younger 4-H Club members. Now he is president of the Marion County Junior club leaders. He wanted to play basketball and went out for the team his freshman year at Ben Davis High School. “I wasn’t good enough and besides, I hag plenty of work at home,” Ted said.

each afternoon, he crawls into an old pair of corduroys, a sweatshirt that has seen better days, old shoes, and goes about tending his pigs. It’s not all work and no play, however. A group of Ben Davis students studying home economics and agriculture have organized the “Sew and Sprout Club” of which Ted is president. Once a month they have a party—weiner roasts, dances—at each other's homes,

None Better, Says Mother

This spring he graduates from high school. His sister, Virginia, graduates from Purdue. Another sister, Irma, graduates from St. Vincent's Nurses School. “We simply couldn't have done it all without Ted's help,” his mother said. “I don’t know what we are going to do when he goes away to school. We couldn't possibly get a hired man as good as he is.” He has more than $1000 worth of pigs now and he made approximately $900 from them in 1937 and last year, so he thinks he'll have plenty to pay his expenses at Purdue, where he plans to study agriculture. The $6 loan? “Why, I paid that back in about a year,” Ted said. “I gave my aunt $7.50. The extra was for interest.”

Drop Horned Hitler From Artists’ Show

LONDON, April 18 (U. P). ~The Royal Society of British Artists today withdrew from its exhibition a painting which showed devil's horns on the heads of Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini as they stood in the scales of justice. The painting, entitled “A ModerA Allegory,” showed Prime Minister Chamberlain, President Roosevelt, David Lloyd George, the exiled Negus of Ethiopia and others looking on. “It was believed possible that the allegory might be misunderstood,” the Society announced in withdrawing the picture, which is the work of Prof. McCannell, principal of the Farnham School of Art.

Camels rate High with Jimmy. “I gave a lot of thought to the subject of cigarettes—made experiments too—before I settled down to Camels for keeps! Camels are better tasting—and they’re milder.” Be curious enough to try Camels yourself. Smoke six packs—and you'll see why Camels are the most popular cigarette in the world. Appealing flavor — pleasing aroma—call it what you will, but there’s no mistaking the fact that Camels give the supreme thrill of smoking pleasure at its best.
