BOARD SAYS NO

Request of North E East Men’s League Turned Down by City Officials.

The Park Board will undertake no more expensive projects this year, officials announced today. The statement accompanied the Board’s denial of a request by the North East Men’s League for construction of a swimming pool in George Washington Park. The Board took under advisement two petitions for playgrounds. The Christamore Neighborhood Council asked the Board to purchase additional ground for the Arnolda St. playground for a soft ball diamond and tennis eourts. The West Michigan Street Business Men’s Club asked the Board to acquire a children’s playground in an area bounded by Michigan St., Tibbs Ave. and Moreland St.

GETS MW'NUTT FUND IN POLICE STATION

City Prosecutor Louis Adams today was selling memberships in the McNutt for President Club at $1 apiece in the lobby of the police station. He sold the memberships as he worked on the quarterly income tax blanks for the police officers. He estimated he already had more than 30 members, and asked newspapermen to join. “We are collecting the money because it will cost over a half-million dollars for the campaign,” he ex-

plained. Asked concerning Chief Morrissey’s “no politics” rule in police headquarters, he pointed out that “Mr. Morrissey is in the hospital. I hope to be through by the time he gets out.” Frank McHale, campaign manager for High Commissioner McNutt, said he had not been informed of the matter. “Bach county is handling its own campaign,” he said.

LOCAL BOXER GIVEN ONE-YEAR SENTENCE

Ralph Brown, 18-year-old Indianapolis boxer, pleaded guilty to larceny in Criminal Court today and received a one-year sentence on the Indiana State Farm. The youth, who with two 16-year-old companions, admitted stealinga car and hiding it in a haystack on Terrace Ave.. according to police, wept when Judge Dewey Myers passed sentence. Asked if he had anything to say, Brown, who already was on probation in Criminal Court, said: “I didn't have a job.” His two companions are held by juvenile authorities.

When It Lighted ighted Up, Day’s

Swimming Was Done 50 Years Ago.

By JOE COLLIER Until today, ‘pon his word, Meyer Efroymson didn’t know that he was largely responsible, several years ago, for the swimming curfew for most of West Indianapolis. He was mildly astonished when a man stepped up to him in his own store, The Star Store, and said: “Remember that revolving electric sign vou used to have on the store here?” “Yes,” Mr. Efroymson said, “If was blown down in the cyclone nine years ago.” “That's right,” said the man, whose name was Joe Sweeney and who lives at 433 E. 10th St. “Like I say, your sign could be seen from way off and when we used to go swimming as kids, we'd look on the way home to see whether the Star Store sign was lighted.”

Stand Before Plaque

He and Mr. Efroymson were standing in front of a plaque on the store wall which said that last year was the 50th anniversary of the founding of the company. “So,” Mr, Sweeney continued, “when we'd seen the sign lighted about all of us together would say out loud, ‘Oh. Oh. I see where I get a licking when I get home. The sign’s on.’ ” He paused a moment and frowned and then asked, as though he wanted to get something straight that had vaguely bothered him for a long time. “You did turn it on at about 5 o'clock each night, didn’t you?” he asked. “Yes,’ right.” Mr. Sweeney went on. “I was out in front the day you opened this store.”

Recall Old Times

Mr. Efroymson, who was 16 years old at the time and whose partner) was Louis Wolf, raised his eyebrows | and said: “Is that so. Really, you don’t look that old.” “I was nine years old,” Mr. Sweeney said. “And we lived near here. Remember, all the Irish would

SETTLEMENT ENDS

CIRCUS COURT FIGHT

FT. WAYNE, April 20 (U. P).— The $1,000,000 damage suit filed by John Robinson IV of Cincinnati, O., against the estates of Bert Bowers and Jeremiah J. Mugavin, former Peru circus owners, ended abruptly in Federal Court yesterday by an out of court settlement. Mr. Robinson, sought $1,000,000 because of alleged violation of a sales contract which transferred his father’s and grandfather's rights to John Robinson's 10 Big Shows to the defendants. He claimed the contract provided the Robinsons with the opportunity to repurchase the shows if they ever were put on the market and that the defendants sold the properties without

| giving them that opportunity.

families would start uptown for trading—the father, the mother and about eight kids. The father, he'd

and the mother, she’d make for the Star Store. “There she’d meet her friends and the kids would get together. You know the Irish. They don’t need any excuse for a fight. And pretty soon ithe kids would be in a fight.” Mr. Efroymson laughed heartily.

Proud of Record

At his spic and span store, where

he has done business now for 51 years, Mr. Efroymson looked happily. “This store was known, and to some extent still is,” he said “as a place where farmers can be sure to meet their friends. When we started there were a great many livery stables in this section (W. Washington St. at Missouri St.) and farmers would meet here. We still have that trade.” Mr, Efroymson is president of the store, is 67, and has lived in Indianapolis nearly all his life. He has four children, one of them sa Star Store executive, and most of his vacations are taken with his daughter in the East. He is optimistic about the future, regardless of all the war scares and economic upsets, and appears to- be a young man with a good business future ahead and behind him.

TAX VALUATION HEARINGS SET

State Board to Hear 2327 Petitions on Monday And Tuesday.

Hearings on petitions filed by 2327 Marion County property owners asking reductions of $8,424,000 in their assessed valuations will be held by the State Tax Board next Monday and Tuesday. The number of petitions is the largest ever filed from Marion County. Hearings will open at 9 a. m. Monday for Center Township petitioners whose last name begin with letters A to D, I to M, and S. Washington Township petitioners also will be heard at the opening session. Starting at 2 p. m. Monday, petitioners from Franklin, Lawrence,

Perry and Pike Townships will be

heard. Tuesday at 9 a. m. the remainder of Center Township petitioners and those from Warren Township will be heard. Wayne Township petitioners will be heard Tuesday afternoon. Hearings will be conducted in the House of Representatives chambers. If the Board should grant half the petitions, it would mean an increase of about 2 cents on all 1940 county tax rates to make up the valuation cut.
