CITY COUNCIL'S FEUDISTS READY FOR SHOWDOWN

Individual Sponsorship of Ordinances Is Principal Point of Dispute.

Sharp differences of opinion between minority and majority factions of City Council are expected to be aired tonight when Councilmen | consider several controversial meas- | ures. * Democrats intimated that they

would force a showdown on the demand of Republicans that indi-| vidual councilmen sponsor new ordi- | nances. An amendment to make this practice a part of regular] Council procedure was defeated by! Democrats on a strictly partisan | vote a month ago.

Dog

Since then, Republicans have | 3

threatened to obstruct the introduc- | tion of new measures unless Demo- | crats “sponsored them.” This, the

Democrats did to “keep the peace.” | § But tonight, Democrats will be! 8

armed with an opinion from Ed-|

ward H. Knight, City Corporation| § Counsel, which holds that sponsor-| 4

ship of new ordinances by

dividuals is not necessary. Mr.|

n-| :

Knight has held that a new ordi-| =

nance becomes the concern of the whole Council. Controversial discussion also will center about an ordinance ratifying! a Sanitary District contract for 30,000 tons of coal for the sanitation plant. Harmon O. Campbell, Republican Councilman, has objected to passage of this measure on the ground that the coal could have been bought cheaper. Two measures calling for Council's approval of the hiring of special attorneys to trv involved suits for the Legal Department have incurred Republican opposition. Mr. Campbell, at the last meeting, put himself on record as favoring a “thorough investigation” of the need for special attorneys. Mr. Knight requested special council in his attempts to recover as-| sessments charged against the New| York, Chicago and St. Louis Rail-| road for track elevation in 1325 and] delinquent Barrett Law payments! from about 73 property owners, as-| sessed for the opening of Greater 16th St.

Seeing-Exye Aid Guides Master Through Traffic

Shortly after 10:30 a. m., March 29, 1936, B. T. Caldwell turned to a fellow bookkeeper at the Polk Milk Co. and said: “Well, I've seen you for the last time.” Mr. Caldwell was right. He had gone suddenly blind and he’s blind

today.

The blindness is believed to have resulted from a fall he had taken

previously as he was in his 12th vear of employment at Polk's.

Today he runs a grocery store at 806 E. 63d St. and it’s his fourth day in that business. Since Feb. 24, 1938, he has operated a magazine and tobacco stand there, but three days ago it was expanded to include dairy products and canned goods.

Mr. Caldwell and Cleo run the

place. Cleo is a seeing-eye dog rscently acquired and for whom Mr. Caldwell has a great deal of affection.

He says he feels safer with Cleo

in traffic downtown than he would | if a person was helping him. He| tries to take her downtown every | |

Saturday for practice. Cleo will thread him in and out of pedestrian traffic, will see to it that he detours any low awning or

branch, and will guide him through

a department store.

Mr. Caldwell’s store is pretty much |

a hangout for “the boys” and the proprietor laughs and jokes with

them about his experiences in his blindness. He'll tell of the photographer wha followed him nearly a week “to get a picture of Cleo leading me into a pole.” Cleo never has. Housewives drop in for a can of this or that and Mr. Caldwell will find it for them with Cleo’s aid and advice. Mr. Caldwell lives at 6026 Nor-

NAVY QUESTIONS SUB SURVIVORS

Four-Man Court of Inquiry Opens Investigation of Squalus Sinking.

PORTSMOUTH, N. H, June 19 (U. P.).—The Navy today began its official investigation of the sinking of the Squalus, the first of three

submarine disasters of the past month. A four-man court of inquiry convened at Portsmouth Navy Yard to determine whether: 1. Faulty construction was involved. 2. Court martials should be ordered. The Squalus, then the newest of the Navy's underseas fightir® craft, sank May 23 in #0 fathoms, south of the Isles of Shoals, with a loss of 26 lives. Only a week later the Bfitish submarine Thetis sank off Liverpool with 99 men. Thursday the French submarine Phenix carried 71 to the ocean bottom off IndoChina. Before questioning the 33 Squalus survivors, the court of inquiry decided to admit newsmen to its proceedings. The board, appointed by Navy Secrtary Claude A. Swanson, was headed by Rear-Admiral William T. Tarrant, commandant of the first naval district. After questioning the survivors, the court probably will adjourn until after the Squalus has been raised, possibly within a month.

RAIL BOARD TAKES OVER JOB AID JULY 1

The Indiana Unemployment Compensation Division will cease handling benefits based on railroad employment after July 1, Lester Kassing, job insurance manager, said today. The Federal Railroad Retirement

Board is to assume this duty. All balances left in benefit funds after

this date will be cancelled, Mr. Kas-]

sing said. “Applications for benefits under the Railroad Act are to be filed with a railroad foreman or supervisor and not at the employment office, he explained.
