PLAN TO MERGE LAW ENFORCING UNITS DROPPED
President Decides Move Would Be Too Much Like Nazi Gestapo.
WASHINGTON, April 27 (U. PD). —President Roosevelt has abandoned plans to consolidate Treasury law enforcement agencies, fearing
that they might be the first step in| §
the development of a centralized secret police such as the German Gestapo or the Russia Ogpu, it was learned today. Treasury Secretary Morgenthau, who has long cherished the idea of consolidating his Departments en-| forcement agencies, was personally responsible for the Presidents de-| cision to drop the plans.
Secretary Morgenthau, an author-| itative source said, told Mr. Roose- | velt his fear that such a step might] lead to further consolidations and a pewerful centralized police agency | such as political dictators have uti-| lized in suppressing all opposition. Apparently, Secretary Morgenthau had in mind the possible eventual consolidation of his enforcement)
units with the Justice Departments §
Federal Bureau of Investigation. Later, the Treasury announced that Mr. Morgenthau had stated his views on the subject in a letter to Mr. Roosevelt. ; The President, who had planned | to send the consolidation plan to Congress next week in the second of his reorganization proposals, was said to have agreed with Secretary Morgenthau

Ind) is a member. He said he is ready to recommend that the Taber motion be dismissed and the President's] plan approved. The other Democrats who declared | they will vote approval of the plan are Reps. Ludlow, Larrabee, Boehne and Crowe. Rep. Gerald W. Landis (R.

Silver Price Raise Sought by Pittman

Dr. Emest Gruening, director of the division of territories and islands of the Department of the Interior, advised M.

ADJOURNMENT NOW IS EXPECTED AUG. 1
WASHINGTON, April 27 (U. P). —Congressional leaders looked at the legislative schedule today and predicted that Congress probably would not adjourn before Aug. 1. In event of a war abroad, forecasting on adjournment date would become impossible, they said. Although President Roosevelt, for the first time since he entered the White House, imposed no “must” program on Congress, leaders believed that enough controversies have been started to keep the Senate and House in session until midsummer, They listed five obstacles to early adjournment: 1. The President's reorganization plans. 2. Revision of the Social Security Act. 3. Taxation proposals. 4. Neutrality legislation. 5. Proopsed changes in the Na-
Senate Majority Leader Barkley (D. Ky), who talked a month ago about adjournment by June 15, said today that “sometime in July” would be a good bet.

ficers came when Lieut. Lawrence McCarty of the Accident Prevention Bureau was not in court when a case charging Russell Bonhanan, 626 W. 26th St, with driving without pneumatic tires was called to trial.
“I'm just going to nolle this,” the judge said. “For the last month officers have been away from here on traffic cases. I think we need the Chief back. Chief Morrissey is ill at his home. Judge McNelis said that “I talked to Officer McCarty about his men not being here. This time its Officer McCarty himself.” When Lieut. McCarty entered the courtroom a few minutes later, the judge said, “I am going to continue to nolle cases when the officer is not her in court and I may cite some of them for contempt.” The officer explained that some of his men had not been there because they were at police school. “Court is more important than
lany school,” the judge replied. “Of- | ficers learn more here than they can
there.” Interrupts Officers
Judge McNelis interrupted testimony during an assault case to criticize three officers for talking. “If you officers don't remain
silent I am going to send you outside or send down and tell the chief how you act,” he said. “You go to school tc learn how to conduct yourself and then come up here and act like that.” The officers left the room. Sheriff Feeney said that the Bureau of Motor Vehicles is furnishing him names of persons whose licenses have been revoked, suspended or denied and that deputies will check up on them.

field; Mayor William H. Dress of Evansville; James D. Adams, Columbia City banker and former State Highway Commisison chairman, and Floyd I. McMurray, State Superintendent of Public Instruction
Five Republicans Listed Republicans mentioned for the race include: James A. Emmert, Circuit Judge at Shelbyville; Mayor Harry W. Baals, of Ft. Wayne; Arch N. Bobbitt, State Republican chairman; Glen R. Hillis, Kokomo attorney, and Clarence E. Benadum, of Muncie. Some Democratic observers believe the candidacy of Mr. Peters, Indiana FHA Director, is likely to receive the backing of the McNutt-for-President organization as an “olive branch” gesture by that group to obtain the support of National Chairman James A. Farley. Mr. Peters has maintained an unbroken political friendship with ths National Chairman since the 1932 campaign; and since the MecNutt organization has not received the Farley blessings, an alliance with Mr. Peters is regarded by some observers as highly possible. Some Patching Needed First, however, the McNutt forces would have to patch up some old wounds with Mr. Peters as the latter was defeated for the U. S. Senatorial nomination during the administration of former Governor McNutt. Mr. Peters also was succeeded as state chairman by Attorney General Jackson, a McNutt appointee. ‘ Mr. Gottschalk has been gaining some strength through his farflung activities in State Welfare administration and heavy patronag in penal institutions. \ He is regarded as having more State Administration support than Lieut. Gov. Schricker. Mr. Gottschalk's residence is in Adams County, home of Dick Heller, secretary to Governor Townsend. Mr. Schricker is regarded as having strong support in the rural areas, but he is said to have incurred the disfavor of some State Administration leaders as result of his activities as presiding officer in the Indiana Senate. Backers of Attorney General Jackson base their claim for support upon Mr. Jackson's six years’ service as State Chairman.
Ft. Wayne Presents Baals
Mr. McMurray, who is said to have expressed desire for the nomination, has been mentioned for the race because of his vote-getting power in the last election. He led the ticket. The Eighth District hes. started a boom for Mayor Dress but thus far it has not gained State-wide proportions. More than a year ago, Judge Emmert was among the first Republicans in the State to be mentioned as possible material for Governor. This was based upon his re-election as judge on the Republican ticket during the Democratic landslides. His reputation as a judge has gone far beyond the Shelby County lines in the last year. Ft. Wayne Republicans are offering Mayor Baals on the ground that he is the first mayor ever reelected in the history of that city. State Chairman Bobbitt started maneuvering party lines toward the governorship during the 1928 campaign. Party observers say there is a possibility that the chairman may attempt to make a deal with Raymond E. Willis, Angola, defeated candidate for the U. S. Senate, to control the party in 1940. Mr. Willis is expected to ask for the Senatorial nomination again on the ground that he ran a close race against Senator VanNuys last year.
Hillis Opposed Willis
Mr. Hillis of Kokomo fills the bill for some Republican leaders who have aserted that the next candidate for Governor should be financially independent tv avoid the necessity of campaign “gifts.” Mr. Hillis was a leading candidate for the Senatorial nomination at the state convention last June and stood in the way of Mr. Willis’ nomination for several ballots. Democratic leaders say that the party's nominee for Governor should be some one outside the state organization who would not have to answer G. O. P. atacks against Governor Townsend's administration. These leaders say Mr. Peters or Mr. Adams would be ideal candidates to overcome any loss of votes next year through administration mistakes.

GEN. MARSHALL NEW ARMY HEAD
Nominated by President to Succeed Gen. Craig as Chief of Staff.
WASHINGTON, April 27 (U. P). President Roosevelt today nominated Brig. Gen. George Catlett Marshall to succeed Gen. Malin Craig as chief of staff of the U. S. Army. Gen. Marshall will hold the rank of a full general in his new post. Gen. Craig is due to retire Aug. 31 because of age. The new chief of staff is now serving as deputy chief of the Army's War Plans Division. He is not a West Point graduate and is one of the few Army officers to rise to the top-ranking post without training at the military academy. He is 58, a native of Uniontown, Pa, and graduated from Virginia Military Academy. During the World War he was assistant chief of staff of the First Division and served for a period as Gen. John J. Pershing's aide-de-camp.
WERTZ RESIGNS AS BOYS’ CLUB LEADER
The Indianapolis Boys’ Club Association was under the temporary direction of an executive committee today following the resignation of William Wertz as superintendent. The association sponsors both the English Avenue Boys’ Club, 1400 English Ave. and the Lauter Memorial Boys’ Club, 1309 W. Market St. Mr. Wertz served as superintendent more than a decade. His resignation was attributed by other officials to a difference of opinion over a survey of the association's activities and potentialities which is being conducted under the direction of Charles E. Hendry, Boys Clubs of America personnel and extension director. The executive committee includes Karl C. Wolfe, executive vice president; Alex Corbett Jr. and Sheriff Feeney. Arthur A. Wolf is association president. It was announced that the association’s summer camp near Noblesville will open June 10. The first two-week camping period will be for girls.

income should approximate 67 billion dollars in 1939. He emphasized his belief that national economic problems would be substantially eased if income could be lifted to 80 billion dollars. He noted, however, that he did not .believe “this increase in national income can be brought about solely by the expenditure of public funds for relief and recovery purposes.” The balance of the proposed appropriation would be used for other agenciese engaged in relief activities. Mr. Roosevelt asked 123 million doilars for the National Youth Administration and 123 million dollars for the Farm Security Administration. He requested that NYA be established as a separate agency instead of continuing as at present at a direct subsidiary of WPA.
Strikes at Critics
He also outlined separate requests for administrative costs of other Government agencies in connection with the relief program and for relief to Indians. These amounts were Indian relief, $1,350,000; Civil Aeronautics Authority, $250,000; general accounting office, $5,225,000; Treasury Department, $14,925,000; Employees Compensation Commission, $5,250,000; National Emergency Council, $1,500,000; National Resources Committee, $990,000, and Puerto Rice Reconstruction Administration, $10,000,600. Mr. Roosevelt struck at critics of the Federal relief program, both those who charge that costs are too great and that methods of administering the program should be changed. “It may be of interest to the Congress,” he said, “to know that through the Department of State we have received many assertions that there are few unemployed persons in the nations which have accepted totalitarian forms of government.
Points to Other Nations
“In those nations private employment takes care of a smaller -proportion of their employable citizens than private employment does in the United States. “This means that Government employment is responsible for the care of a larger portion of the employable population than in this country—creating in fact a government employment system based in the great part on the manufacture of munitions which costs far more than our system. “I trust that the people will not be deceived by the terminology and will not assume that the totalitarian methods of Government are more effective than our own.” He declared that the American relief system was cheaper than the system of the totalitarian states but admitted that it “is by no means perfect.” “It can be improved,” Mr. Roosevelt said, “but not at the expense of substituting the dole for work relief nor by turning the management of works projects back to the sole care of the many thousands of local governments.” He predicted that after “much political smoke has cleared away” the work relief system would be hailed as one of the Federal Government’s “most efficient administrative accomplishments.” Mr. Roosevelt referred to “those who talk glibly and without much information” about cutting relief costs and declared that basically only two alternatives were presented: To substitute a dole or partial dole system or to cut the num=-

Senator Pittman
BILL WOULD 0, K. JAPAN EMBARGO
Pittman Plan Provides for Presidential Action on Pact Violators.
WASHINGTON, April 27 (U. PJ. —Chairman Pittman (D. Nev.) of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee introduced legislation today that would permit the President to place embargoes against Japan. The legislation would authorize the President to “place restrictions upon trade and commerce” between the United States and any violator of the nine-power Pacific treaty signed at Washington in 1922. That treaty, among other things, guaranteed the territorial integrity of China. Under the present neutrality law an embargo on arms shipments to Japan could not be applied without also applying it to China. It has not been put into effect. The present law does not provide for any embargo on other goods. The President would enforce provisions of the proposed new law through the issuance of proclamations, which would become effective 19 days after their submission to Congress. However, Congress would not be given the power to veto the proclamations. Senator Pittman told reporters enactment of his proposal is necessary “so that our Government may have authority to meet restrictions that are. imposed upon our citizens in China.” : Although he had held several conferences recently with State Department officials, Senator Pittman said that his plan was drafted by him alone, “and no one else knows anything about it.”

ALLISON PLANT BOLSTERS U.S. PLANE POWER
Liquid-Cooled Motor Made Here Believed Among World’s Fastest.
(Continued from Page One)
Allison engines will be fitted in some of them. The engine itself, the result of nine years’ experimental work, is a 12-cylinder, V-type engine (six cylinders in line) capable of 1200 horse power at 2600 revolutions per minute. Its most important features are its liquid-cooled system and the re-
sultant compactness. It is about two and a half feet wide.
Sustained high speed, combination of the liquid-cooling and streamline ing, unequaled by any other Amer-ican-built motor, has been the goal of engineers for many years. Both valuable factors were obtained in the Allison engine, Mr. Kreutzinger said. Military aircraft engines of the liquid-cooled type have been developed in other countries, but Mr. Kreutzinger said the Allison engineers know they hold the key to the world’s military air leadership. Despite tests and published reports of the hair-raising speed and performance of the Allison motor, Mr. Reutzinger said there has not yet been built an airplane capable of getting the best out of the motors—it is still too powerful. He cited the Bell Aircraft Co. in Buffalo, as producing the “toughest” craft for the engine. The increased power of the engine is made possible by its cooling system, for one thing, he said. He said he meant that liquids can cool an engine more successfully. Other air-cooled engines burn out at speeds that the Allison motor is able to attain, he declared. In experimentation with the motor which has cost General Motors several million dollars, only a few finished and tested engines remain to be shown for it. However, there are parts for 50 engines, broken pieces that cracked became milestones in the development of the engine. While preparations go forward for supplying the Army with Allison engines on a quantity basis, engineers have turned their attention to perfecting a 24-cylinder liquidcooled motor for bombers.
WPA TO DROP 5000 IN STATE BY MAY 8
New employment quotas in Indie ana’s six WPA districts from which 5000 persons will be dropped by May 8 were announced today by John K. Jennings, State WPA Ade ministrator. At the same time he said that 815 persons, or .88 per cent of the total state employment, had been elimeinated from the rolls as the result of a recent investigation of the need of relief employees. This was in addition, he said, to the 7000 released from the rolls earlier this year. Both resulted from the 50 million dollar slash in the emergency WPA appropriation by Congress, he said. “Employment on Indiana projects will be reduced from 80,475 persons to 75,475 persons effective May 8,” he said. ‘The quota of WPA District No. €, comprising Marion County, will be reduced from 11,475 workers to 10,510 pere sons.” “In accordance with the instruce tions of Col. F. C. Harrington, Works Project Administrator, thereduction will affect only those projects which are over-crowded or are
less useful than others.”
