Revive Private Enterprise Or Have Dictatorship, Speaker Says.

~The unemployment problem in the United States leaves but two roads to follow, either toward the totalitarian state or toward the revival of private enterprise, Ralph S. Flanders, industrialist of Springfeld, Vt., said today. MT. Flanders addressed a committee composed of Legion commanders

- and adjutants, Government repre-|

sentatives, economists and other authorities on unemployment at the World War Memorial. Among those ‘scheduled to attend was Federal Security Administrator Paul V. McNutt, who is due tomorrow. “There has been practically no improvement in employment since 1932 to any great extent,” Mr. Flanders said. “What improvement there now is is largely due to the war abroad. Cites Changed Setup “There are two directions in which we may go to increase employment. First, toward the totalitarian form of government in which all wages and hours of labor and other factors are directed from above. «If this is the only way to do it, we should persuade ourselves to g0 Ne that direction, and if there is no hope in private enterprise, we might just as well give up what liberties Dent alternative, described by Mr. Flanders, was the restoration of private enterprise. “The spirit to invest on long terms and assume risks is almost dead in America. If we are to solve the unemployment problem, this spirit must be restored. Employment will be stabilized when there is a willingness to venture funds on a long-term basis,” he said. Suggests Tax Revamping

Dr. Melchoir Palyi, Chicago University economist, who also spoke at the meeting, offered as his suggestion toward solving the problem of unemployment the replacement of speculators with investors who are not primarily interested in going into the stock market and then wi awing for quick profit. Palyi also suggested the revamping of income and inheritance taxes so that consideration could be given to the man who uses his estate for productive long-term investments. Boris Shishkin, economist for the A. F. of L.,, Washington, D. C., agreed with Dr. Palyi on’ certain aspects of his suggestions and offered as his suggestion “some sort of tax which could be based on payrolls.” He said that taxes should be administered with benefits going to those who hire the most men. “This proposal may provide an incentive for employment,” he said. The meeting which began today is to last through tomorrow.

ATTACKS STATE ON POOR RELIEF

Emmert Says Governor and Aids Are Responsible for Mismanagement.

‘Mismanagement of poor relief in Indiana “can be laid directly on the doorstep of the present State Administration,” Judge James A. Emmert, of Shelbyville, charged in an address at - the Phyllis Wheatley Y. W. C. A. last night. 3 “Despite wide authority under laws enacted in the last five years, State ‘agencies have made little or no attempt to supervise relief ac-

tivities and straighten out situations where profiteering and graft have been exposed,” he said. “Laws not only give the authority to, but make it the duty of the Governor and his Commission on Unemployment Relief to investigate and supervise poor relief activities. This authority extends so far that the Governor can, after a proper hearing, remove from office any trustee or other official who has been derelict in his duties.” Discussing national affairs, Judge Emmert, who is a candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor, said the present war situation would be used as an alibi for the next Congress to raise the national debt limit, now fixed by law at 45 billion dollars. “Honest relief and all necessary preparedness can be provided without raising the national debt limit,” he said.

ILLINOIS WELFARE CHIEF IS INDICTED

KANKAKEE, Ill, Nov. 22 (U. P.). —A. L. Bowen, 70, state director of public welfare, and three officials of the Manteno State Mental Hospital, were expected to surrender voluntarily today under indictments charging malfeasance in office. The charges resulted from a typhoid epidemic and ‘outbreak of dysentery in which 52 of the hospital’s inmates and employees died. A special grand jury returned the indictments last night. In addition to Bowen those indicted were Dr. Ralph T. Hinton, 62, sufpended director of the hospital; his assistant, Dr. D. L. Steinberg, 36, and Mrs. Lillian Williams, 36, dietitian. The charge is a misdemeanor and the four, if convicted, could ‘be sentenced to removal from office and fined up to $10,000 each.

PARTY TO NOMINATE FOR, JOHNSON SAYS

NEW YORK, Nov. 22 (U. P).— Gen. Hugh S. Johnson, Indianapolis Times columnist, predicted here that President Roosevelt would be

nominated for a third term by the Democratic Party. 1 “I have an idea,” Gen. Johnson told questioners at a luncheon of the Bond Club yesterday, “that it will be difficult for any one man to secure the Democratic nomination for President in 1940, with the exception of one man—even though that man may decline. I think that Franklin D. Roosevelt will be the next Democratic nominee.” Another questioner asked what the public at large would think of Wendell Willkie, chairman of Commonwealth & Southern, as a nominee. “He would. be tarred with the stick of Wall Street,” Gen. Johnson said. He added, however, that he felt that if Mr. Willkie were nominated he would give a good 8 account of himself.

GRAY RETURNS, SET FOR GENSUS

23d Area Manager Reports ‘U. S. Wants to Know Lots About Lots.

Next year's U. Ss. census will be virtually an invoice of the nation,

according to Mark R. Gray, manager: of the 23d area of the U. S. Census. Mr. Gray, publisher of the Indianapolis- Commercial, returned yesterday. from Washington where he spent eight weeks in training for the work next year. Counting noses, he said, will be only. a small-part of the job. Uncle Sam wants to know a lot of things that never: were included in previolis censuses, Mr. Grady. said, including housing conditions, irrigation, crop production, what equip-, ment a farmer has’ to work with, and all about every business and manufacturing plant.

Two Accompany Him

With Mr. Gray came William -A. Knight and his assistant, John H. Duffey, both of Washington. Mr. Knight will manage the 22d Census area, Which includes Marion County. Mr. Gray's ‘area includes the Eighth, Ninth and 10th Congressional districts, with such cities as Muncie, Richmond, Seymour and Evansville. In Mr. Knight's area are the Sich, Seventh, 11th and 12th districts, with such cities as Indianapolis, Terre Haute and ces. Mr. Gray, who was appointed fo his post by Senator Sherman Minton, expects to open his office in the Federal Building Dec. 1. 232 Questions for Farms

“There are 232 questions that we must find answers for en every farm,” Mr. Gray said.. “They include how many eggs each hen

and in what condition they are in and many other widely varied questions.” One that must be determined by the census takers is the migratory factor of America’s residents. To find this Mr. Gray's workers will ask each person “where did you live five years ago?” One day also will be set aside to gather information on transients. Hotels, trailer camps and even jails will be visited on this. day: The farm and housing census will be taken between: April 2 and. May 2 and the City census will be taken in the first two weeks of April, Mr. Gray said. The object of the housing census, Mr. Gray explained is to find out what kind of structures people live in, whether or not they are adequately housed, how many live in one room and similar information.
