JACKSON REPLY POSSIBLE TODAY

Chief of Gross Tax Division Offered Manager Job by Indiana C. of C.

Clarence A. Jackson, State Gross Income Tax director, was expected to. make his formal answer at noon today to an offer to become manager of the new consolidated State Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Jackson, also a director of the State Unemployment Compensation Division, was offered the post after

merger of ‘the State Chamber of Commerce with the Inter-Organiza-tion Council more than a month ago. fl He said he had not received a formal offer | f the position and declared that “when I receive the offer I will discuss the matter with Governor Townsend and the Compensation Board to whom I owe allegiance first.” fl It was learned that the offer was made to N Ar. Jackson by a committee composed of directors of the merged organizations and that the gross tax|head asked for time to consider the matter. Mr. Jackson accepts the new job he undoubtedly will resign his present State social security and income tax posts. This gave rise to speculation as to who would succeed Mr. Jackson in the public offices. Governor Townsend said he “had just heard about the offer” and that “I have given no thought to the matter or talked to Mr. Jackson about it.” It was believed Mr. Jackson would take his _new office Nov. 1 if the

plan goes through.

Bennett, infantry, Ft. Benjamin Harrison. Col. Urrutia entered the Army as a. second lieutenant in 6 1910 and served in Puerto Rico and Panama during the World War.

Commanded Parade Regulars

Last July Col. Urrutia was in charge of regular troops in the parade celebrating the 40th anniversary of the relation between Puerto Rico and United = States, during which an -assassination was attempted upon Governor Winship. “I was following the grand marshal of the parade,” Col.

“During this attempted assassination Mrs. Urrutia and another Army lady were conversing with Governor Winship, and were directly in the line of fire but did. not get hit as they went to the floor at the first sound of the shots. Col. Irizarry of the National Guard was killed in the exchange of shots, also the leader of the Nationalists. “Nine of the Nationalists were captured later and all were sentenced to life imprisonment. Since that day there have been no further outbreaks of violence in Puerto Rico. The Nationalist move seems to be dead now and I am glad of it.” Col. Urrutia said he thought Puerto Rico “would like to be called the 49th State of the Unitelf States.”

NOLAN SEEKS DATA ON WPA SLUGGING

. Val Nolan, U. 8. District Attorney, said today he would take no action

on an alleged attack against James L. Allen, former Greenfield mayor and now a WPA foreman, “until he learns more about the case.” He said it “was a little early to state flatly that he would not present the case to the Federal Grand Jury” as he wanted more information concerning the attack. Mr. Allen is in Methodist Hospital with head and neck injuries which, he said, resulted from an attack by three WPA workers at the Hancock County garage. The suspected attackers are held at the Pendleton Reformatory. They are Joe Jack, 28, a discharged WPA worker; his brother, Oakley, 35, and Verle Chapple, 56, Mr. Nolan said. They are charged with assault and battery with intent to kill.

Injuries, however, were up from 155 last year to 192 for the sevenmonth period. The discrepanéy between the increase in the number of accidents and the number of injured would indicate that many of the accidents this year were of a more trivial nature than those of 1938, official pointed out. + While Accident Prevention Bureau officials seek safer engineering, more highly educated drivers and preach courtesy of the road their biggest problem—the pedestrian—continues to boost their injured and fatality figures, they claim. “One of our biggest problems is the pedestrian,” Capt. Lewis Johnson, Bureau head, said. “They walk in front of cars and even walk into the side of automobiles. Even the most complete policing cannot save the person who will not look where he is walking.”
