In Relief
Business
(Continued from Page One)
Nevertheless, I'm going to change the setup and spread . the business more evenly among dealers because I.can see
that it doesn’t look right.” “I took office on Jan. 1,” he said, “and the situation now is pretty much the same as when I inherited it. I've adqed, roughly, about half a dozen grocers and I.intend to add about another dozen or so to the list eligible for relief business. My staff is about 95 per cent inherited from my
predecessor.
. “I haven't been able to make some . of the changes I've wanted to because I've been swamped with Foutine.” ‘- Mr. Anderson has been in the .. groct business for several years. Up until Jan. 1, he operated only one store, Anderson’s Market on E. ¢10th St. In November, according to records at the County Auditor's office, this store received $1210.10 in relief orders. In December, it received $1480.90 in relief orders.
Opened Store About Jan. 1
. About the time Mr. Quinn took office, Mr. Anderson opened the Martindale Market at 22d St. and Martindale Ave. This is the store of which Mr. Quinn Jr. has been listed as a partner. The first month the Martindale Market was in operation, its relief orders totaled $2098.85, the records show. The next month (February), the total rose to $3022.50. By August, Mr. Anderson’s two stores received a combined total of $12.075.50. The two Anderson stores and

three stores operated by two other grocers accounted for 41 per cent of the total relief grocery business in August. There are 62 grocers on the Township list. The three other groceries and the claims filed for August by these stores were: Frank Bluestein. Grocery, $3441.65; Park Food Market (owned by Mr. Blue-

to the Martindale Market when it opened in ‘January was diverted from. other stores in the neighborhood. One of these stores which in December did $2465.85 in relief business, received $436.30 in relief orders in August. Another did $1187.10 in December and $217.65 in August.
Mr. Quinn said that he had just learned that his son had been listed as a partner of Mr. Anderson in the Martindale Market.
“Before the store was opened,” said Mr. Quinn Jr, “Dan and I talked about opening a store. He invited me to come in with him. I didn’t make up my mind at the time, and he went ahead and obtained a store license and opened up.
Gave Business to Son-in-Law
“About three months later—I think in March—we talked it over again and I decided not to go into a partnership with him, but I learned that meanwhile Dan had filled out an assessment list as a partnership. “I didn’t give it any particular thought at the time. However, 1 have never taken any part in the operation of the store and I have not received ‘any money from the store. I have served as Dan’s attorney for which he is going to pay me but thus far we haven’t agreed on any amount and it’s going to be very small.”
‘Guess Most . . . Are Democrats’
Mr. Quinn Sr. said that the reason the Model Creamery had received the bulk of the milk business was “on account of my son-in-law.” Mr. Griffin, the son-in-law, declared that he has been in the milk business 11 years. He said that he had benefited from relief orders before his father-in-law took office “but not much before this year.” Mr. Griffin said that he owned
and operated two Model Creamery and three Mutual Milk Co. routes

and that when relief orders came in he was given those in the territory his trucks cover. - In admitting that political considerations had entered the distribution of relief business, Mr. Quinn said: “I have never consciously violated a single law in the operation of the Trustee’s office. I inherited most of the grocers on the list from my predecessor, so I guess most of them are Democrats. “Maybe we are running things on a political basis, but I'm not going to have any monkey business in it. A week ago Thursday I had the grocers in—all but three of the 62 were here—and I warned them that they must live up to the rules or face discipline. “I told them that I had received complaints of short weight and poor quality food: being issued by a few of them and I told them that this must stop. I told them that they must keep their places clean and that they must keep in stock all the items on the approved list. I instructed them that relief customers must not be ignored while cash customers were being taken care of. When I first took office some of the grocers had been forcing relief clients to wait in a back room for their -orders.
‘I Warned These Grocers’
“I warned these grocers that they must give reliefers the benefit of shelf or sale prices when these were lower than the current maximum prices on the Trustee's list. i “As far as milk is concerned I pay the dairies 1 cent under the regular price for door-to-door delivery. In that way I pay the store price and get free delivery. The bakeries deliver the bread here at the Trustee's office and the grocers pick up their bread supplies when they come in to get the relief slips for their customers. Each relief case is entitled to a certain number of loaves: of bread--depending: on the size of the family—in addition to their regular grocery order.” Mr. Quinn said that the South

problems today at the semi-annual Indiana Independent Petroleum Association convention at the Hotel Severin Studying some of the delegates questions, which they were to attempt to answer, are E. V. Mr, Weber of Cincinnati, O., is vice president of the American Petroleum Institute, and Mr. Platt, Cleveland, O., is editor of the National Petroleum News. The one-day session will close at 6 p. m. with a banquet.
August received 56.5 per cent of the bread business, in competition with six other bakeries, had the bulk of the business “before I came into office and I didn’t change it.” Joseph in Bread Firm Philip J. Kraft is president of the South Side Baking Co. and Jackiel W. Joseph is secretary. Mr. Joseph is president of the Indianapolis Park Board. “I'm going to revise this situation,” said Mr. Quinn, “so that the business is fairly evenly divided. I'm going to reduce the amounts received by the firms now getting the larger share of the business, increase the amounts for. some of the lower ones and add some ‘more groceries to the list. “The same thing will apply to the milk and bread companies. I'm going to start on it this month. “Another thing I'm going to do is to put in a ‘spotter’ to work checking up on these groceries to see that they give the reliefers the benefit of shelf and sale prices. If any of them violate the rules I'll take them off the list. ; ‘Wide Open for Suggestions’ “We've got some chiselers among our relief clients, too, and we need some help in getting rid of them. Our relief staff of investigators is inadequate to make as frequent checks as is really necessary. I wish everybody knowing of.a chiseler or a reliefer parading around in an automobile would notify us. I'd cut ‘em off immediately. “As a matter of fact, nobody wants to cut taxes more than I do and I'm wide open for suggestions.” Under the law, the township trustees in Indiana are permitted to spend whatever sums they ‘consider necessary in the care of the needy.

REPORT NAZIS SEEK
BERLIN, Oct. 11 (U. B.)—Germany is conducting secret negotiations to repatriate nearly 2,000,000 people of German blood from Rumania, Hungary and Yugoslavia with which to repopulate territory
|seized in Poland, usually well-
informed quarters asserted today. Dispatches from. the countries concerned said that German minorities were worried because of references made by Adolf Hitler in his Reichstag speech to repatriation. According to reports here, Herr Hitler had the idea of bringing to Germany the 750,000 German-blood-ed people in Rumania, 600,000 in Yugoslavia and 480,000 in Hungary.
TALLINN, Esthonia, Oct. 11 (U. P., —Germans awaiting repatriation crowded Tallinn and other cities today to such an extent that orders were sent to the provinces to halt the flow at once. Three German ships were here to take the repatriates. But complexities in negotiations between EsthoJia and Germany delayed embarkaon. :

Quest of Prisoners Are Driven Back.
The German High Command today announced that “there was weak fire during the day in the West after a quiet night.”
PARIS, Oct. 11 (U. P.).—German patrols roved the Rhineland Front all night, frequently rushing the French lines in quest of prisoners, but all were driven back in hand grenade and hand-to-hand fights, it was reported today. : Two German parties of 150 men each charged French positions in the woods south of Saarbruecken and south of Pirmasens but retired leaving 60 dead and wounded behind. An authoritative source said the Germans had failed to fake a single French prisoner in the last 24 hours of sharp engagements. The Germans seemed bent on taking prisoners, presumably so they could be questioned about the strength of the French lines, and the newspaper Petit Parisien said German soldiers had been offered rewards for
prisoners. J Clashes Are Local
German artillery laid down heavy barrages ahead of the patrols and French batteries replied with “solid curtains of fire” across no man’s land, it was reported. These engagements were entirely localized, however, and there had been no mass infantry action. German artillery fire again was directed at French artillery emplacements. : An unusual number of German reconnaissance airplanes were reported active over the French lines. They were on photographic missions. French anti-aircraft guns and pursuit planes were said to have been kept busy all day yesterday driving them away. ; ; It was the fourth successive day of patrol fighting and intense artillery action on the Saar front. Both Sides Use Grenades The German raiders were using hand grenades freely and the French were replying with the same weapons. |The patrols were being slowed down, however, by mud.
-|Rain had| fallen for days in the
Black Forest and across lower Alsace. The Rhine was rising and threatening to flood some of the German | blockhouses near the banks, especially across from Strasbourg. - There was no danger to the main Westwall but many of the newer German blockhouses had been built too close to the river and twice before had been flooded, forcing the Germans to move back to higher

STAY NEUTRAL, BUILD TRADE, HULL ADVISES
NEW YORK, Oct. 11 (U. P.)— Secretary of State Cordell Hull last night stressed the necessity of continuing to maintain and expand the United States’ trade program in spite of the European war and pointed out that a truly neutral attitude “leaves us entirely free to trade in all commodities with both sides” within necessary limitations. Addressing the 26th National Foreign Trade Convention, Mr. Hull said such war trade should be subject only to such limitations “as may be legitimately introduced by the belligerents under the rules of war” or adopted by the United States for the protection of “our nationals, goods and ships.”
