ECONOMY LINE 1S FOLLOWED BY CONGRESS

Morgenthau Sees Balanced ‘Budget as ‘Healthy’; Office Bill Trimmed.

BULLETIN WASHINGTON, Jan. 23 (U. P.). —After bitter debate the House today voted to continue the Dies investigation of un-American activities for one year.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23 (U. P.) — Congress hewed to its economy line today when both the House and Senate took up appropriation bills reduced below President Roosevelt's budget estimates. : : The House started consideration of a $1,032,154,612 Treasury-Post-office Bill, ‘cut $11,491,000 below the Administration recommendation. The Senate started work on a $251,822,588 deficiency supply bill to cover neutrality and defense costs occasioned by outbreak of war. Meanwhile, it was revealed today that Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau Jr. believes a balanced budget would have a “healthy effect” on the country and that he had recommended cuts in works expenditures and more taxes as a move toward achieving balance between income and outgo. Chairman Carl Vinson of the House Naval Affairs Committee indi.cated he may order a further cut in the | proposed $800,000,000 naval expansion bill so as to limit new construction of warships which the Navy epuld build within two years.

Mr. Morgenthau proposed that the public debt limit be raised from the present| statutory ceiling of $45,000,000,000 [to- $50,000,000,000. President Roosevelt has forecast a public debt totaling more than $44,900,000 000 by

NIGHT PARKING BAN POSTPONED

30-Day Reprieve Is Given Motorists; Tail Light Rule - To Be Enforced.

The Safety Board today heeded a flood of complaints and decided to postpone for 30 days enforcement of the City ordinance banning allnight parking on the streets. Board President Leroy J. Keach said the mere threat of enforcement has helped reduce the number of all-night parkers. Because of the numerous protests from motorists who said they have been unable to find garage space, the Board decided to delay the enforcement and give more time for. finding garages. =. - . The ordinance bars motorists from parking their cars for more than one hour on residential district streets between 2 a. m. and 6 a. m.

Meanwhile, Chief Michael F.

| Morrissey instructed police to be-

gin enforcing, effective tonight, the state law requiring red tail lights to be burning on all parked cars between an hour after sundown and an hour before sunrise. Earlier, Councilman Harmon A. Campbell, Republican, had said that if the Board went ahead with its enforcement plan, he may sponsor City Council acfion to repeal the 2 a. m. to 6 a. m. parking ban. “Lots of people living in apartments have called me and complained they can't find a garage for rent within walking distance of their apartments,” Mr. Campbell said. . “People (Continued on Page Three)

ALL'S QUIET ON WOW FRONT--JUST NOW

Morrissey, Questioned About Situation, Says: ‘Gh, OhY’

"All parties to the Wow controversy today said the situation is strictly in status quo, which, if you remember your freshman Latin, means just where it was yesterday. The Rev. Fr. Ambrose Sullivan, pastor of Holy Rosary Catholic Church, said that he has made no further move in the matter. It was his statement after mass Sunday that precipitated the row. Father Sullivan said then that the

of a game called Wow at his church and that he considered the police action a violation of civil liberties. Urges Police Sanction ~ Conceding that the game had both the element of chance and the element of prize, Father Sulivan nevertheless said that he believed police should allow it to be played when the play was sponsored by religious and fraternal groups as distinguished from commercial sponsors. Leroy J. Keach, Safety Board president, said again today that the Board, under whose orders the Police Department is acting in closing gamsas of Wow, is unlikely to change its policy in the matter. “It takes a long time and much thought for us to make a policy,” he said, “and once made it takes an

Brother-Sister Marriage Proven, Couple Separate

Broken-Hearted Youth Leaves City Without Seeing ‘Bride’

As Judge Prepares to

Rule Ceremony Void.

Today in Juvenile Court, the tragedy of a brother-sister marriage was confirmed and the tragedy of the separation of lovers was arranged. Leroy Williamson, 21, and Virginia Wolfe, 19, who until today clung

tenaciously to the hope they were not blood relatives and therefore were:

married, sat in court holding hands

as the hearing proceeded.

He was cross-examining witnesses and questioning dates, looking for

discrepancies in>evidence that even he at last had to admit was unassailable. She was crying.

Granted One Hour

After the hearing, Judge Wilfred Bradshaw gave every indication he would rule they are brother and sister. Then he granted them one hour tonight, when he said Leroy

Williams “might - ¢all- on Virginia

Wolfe. The couple left the ‘room,

holding hands. Even then the full tragedy had

not been wrung from the situation.|

Because, after Virginia Wolfe left with her foster parents, Leroy Williamson returned to the courtroom and Judge Bradshaw told him that he would rule on Thursday that they were brother and sister and would forever and ever have to remain apart. “Can't you see now?” the judge asked, sympathetically. “Yes,” faltered the youth, “I can see.” Then he collapsed in tears. They talked earnestly for some time after the youth had regained his composure. And before their conversation was over, the youth decided to go to Urbana, Ill, to live with relatives. He decided it would be an easier separation if he left immediately. And before noon, he was on the way. Girl Still Waits Virginia Wolfe did not know of the judge’s decision, and, so far as could be determined, expected Leroy Williamson to call tonight for what she could scarcely doubt would be one of their last meetings. The tangled history of their lives that led to marriage was pieced together in the hearing and established to the satisfaction of all that if they are not full brother and sister,'they are at least half brother and sister. Supplying. most of the nrissing points of information today was Mrs. Crystal Clair Harker, Urbana, 1l., a sister of Helen Williamson, . who she said was the mother of both.

MILLION DENIED FOR “SECRET NAVY EAR

Request for Funds Reveals New Listening Device.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23 (U. P.). —The Navy has developed a secret new underwater listening device capable of detecting the presence of submarines and surface vessels as far as 10 miles distant, it was revedled today. : ; Rear Admiral R. R. Waesche, Coast Guard commandant, told & House Appropriations Subcommittee of the device when’ he asked for $1,820,000 in the 1941 budget to equip 21 cutters and 49 patrol boats with the mechanism for use in the neutrality patrol. The request was denied. “This listening device,” he said, “is more or less of a Navy secret apparatus, but in general, the need for this apparatus is to detect the presence of surface vessels within 5, 8 or 10 miles, depending on conditions, when they are running dark, and to detect submarines when submerged. . “We pick up th. noise of propellors or any other noise, and the device has a directional indicator, and in some types a distance indicator.” :

U. S. ANGER AT BRITISH RISES

Reply Is Asked on Demand be

For Better Treatment of | Ships at Gibraltar.

(Other Foreign News, Pages 3 and 8)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23 (U. P.).— United States’ official protests at British activities on the high seas took a stronger, even an angry, pitch today. The British Government was accused of discriminating against American ships. This Government protested that

American ships were being detained by British contraband control officials at Gibraltar three times as long as Italian ships carrying similar cargoes and that, in some cases, American ships were being forced, contrary to the American neutrality law, to proceed to belligerent ports. It demanded ‘immediate correction” of the situation and requested a reply from Great Britain to that effect. The protest was reminiscent of the controversies of 1915 and 1916 over similar British activities before the United States entered the World War. . Until recent weeks most of this Government’s diplomatic notes have been directed to the totalitarian powers now at war with Britain and France. During the past month, American official. impatience has been. increasing | over what is considered; high-handed British interference with American ships, cargoes and mail on the high seas. The new protest was handed to British Ambassador Lord Lothian Saturday by Assistant Secretary of State Adolph A. Berle in the form of an aide memoire—a . written memorandum to remind the Ambassador of what he had been told ' (Continued on Fage Three)

PROJECTS LAG 12.000 AREIDLE

| ON STATE WPA

Jennings Blames Sponsors; Men Forced on Relief, He Declares.

By RICHARD LEWIS

Failure of Indiana government units to provide projects has thrown approximately 12,000 certified WPA workers out of jobs and is forcing them on relief rolls, John K. Jennings, State WPA Administrator, charged today.

In Marion County, 3652 certified workers are idle because sponsors have either failed to meet their contributions for projects or have failed to provide the projects, the Administrator said. In addition, he said, there will be no jobs for 5000 Hoosiers now being certified for WPA employment. Mr. Jennings’ charge was contained in a statement issued following a survey of WPA employment in the statz’s 92 counties. He said before issuing the statement he repeatedly has asked governmental units to provide projects.

Local Units Told of Increase

The Administrator said that if the increase in sponsors’ contributions from 20 to 25 per cent which became effective Jan. 1 was holding up new projects, it was not the fault of the WPA. He said he had informed all local units months ago to provide for the 5 per cent increase in their budgets. In Marion County, M. G. Johnson, Flood Control Board president, said the increase was preventing the Board from manning the White River flood project to capacity. In addition to the increase, the sponsor now has to provide more money for projects because the WPA has cut down its liberal credits for materials which the sponsor supplies for projects, Mr. Johnson said. In the case of the flood project, it would be necessary for the Board to raise additional money to keep the present number of WPA workers employed.

16,023 Available; 4234 Placed

To what extent this situation has been duplicated in other counties could not be determined immediately at WPA headquarters. : Although 16,023 certified WPA workers are available, only 4234 can be placed: in various projects throughout the state, Mr. Jennings said, ‘This leaves 11,789 workers for whom there is no place. “There are at present numerous sections in the state where sponsors have not submitted sufficient projects to employ all eligible workers in their localities, even though the present WPA quota would permit employment of these workers,” Mr. Jennings asserted. “We have had numerous requests from officials in communities throughout the state asking us to increase employment in their localities. Such requests have become especially numerous during the present cold weather. : “As a result, we organized a survey which showed there is a possibility of placing only 4234 additional people throughout the state. Those jobs are being filled as rapidly as people can be placed and "(Continued on Page Three)

RV. GILLUM NAMED SMOKE INSPECTOR

Abatement Steps Reported - For Alleged Violators.

Roy V. Gillum, 2832 Macpherson Ave, was appointed a smoke inspector in the City Building Department by the Safety Board today. Provision was made for the appointment in the 1940 budget. Mr. Gillum will assist J. Webster Clinehens, combustion enginger, in checking on smoke ordinance violators. ‘* Meanwhile, Mr. Clinehens reported to the Board that of 24 alleged violators of the smoke ordinance who have been interviewed by the Board since November, about half have conformed to the provisions of the ordinance and have abated smoke on their premises. =. The other half, he said, have pledged their co-operation to the Board in reducing smoke but thus far have taken no definite steps. Leroy J. Keach, Board president, said the Board would continue its smoke abatement campaign by interviewing violators and asking their co-operation by improving their equipment or possibly in-

stalling of stokers.

The snow will be accompanied by lowering temperatures which will continue to drop tonight, tomorrow and Thursday, the Bureau said. No estimate was made as to how low the temperatures will go or whether the city is due for a return of subzero weather. Since the snow blanket will be accompanied by low temperatures, the City faced a new traffic battle before the ice hazards of ‘the last snowstorms have been entirely removed from city streets and sidewalks. The lowest temperature’ tonight, the Bureau predicted, will be about 18. The snowstorm formed over the Southwest, the Bureau said. and is moving full strength onto Indiana.

ATLANTA, Ga., Jan. 23 (U. P.).— There was snow on palm trees in Dixie today as snow and ice covered the deep South from Louisiana to lower Georgia. Federal forecasters predicted additional sub-freezing temperatures that threatened to glaze highways and virtually: halt transportation facilities. Atlanta was covered ith more than eight inches of snow by midmorning and the fine, dry flakes continued to {fall with increasing heaviness. Busses and streetcars stalled and the city had no equipment to remove the snow from the streets. Schools were closed in many communties between Baton Rouge, La. and middle Georgia. The heavy snow was a rare sight for Louisiarians. - Storm warnings also were ordered

for small craft between Cape Hat-

teras and Key West on the South Atlantic, and on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico betweens Key West and St. Marks, Fla. Sub-freezing temperatures were predicted tonight and tomorrow for portions of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia. Snow and continued cold was forecast for Virginia and the Carolinas. Florida was expected to be much colder in the south and east portions.

Assails Hoosier for Use of Soldiers in Labor Dispute.

COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 23 (U. P.).—President John L, Lewis of the United Mine Workers of America today, denounced the Presidential ambition of Federal Security, Administrator Paul V. MecNutt, terming him “a political adventurer” who had used troops against labor.

He spoke at the opening session of the miners’ convention. Vice President John N. Garner? also came in for biting criticism in the report of U. M. W. A. officers, who referred to ‘renegade Democrats under the leadership of Gare ner,” criticized a “reactionary House cabal,” and placed a broad economic legislative program before the more than 2000 delegates. Mr. Lewis said that Mr. McNutt, former Governor of Indiana, “likes to pretend he was a soldier, ac~ companied by a motley crew of Two Per Cent bag men who, he hoped, would be able to buy enough votes to make him President of the United States so he would have . more soldiers to play with, and be able to protect strangers who were taking the jobs of men whose children were hungry and whose wives were ill.” Links Him to Chandler

The “two per cent bag men”

| phrase was believed to refer to In- | diana’s famous per cent club” which collects money

Democratic “two from state employees for political activities. Mr. Lewis linked McNutt with Senator A. B. (Happy) Chandler, former Kentucky Governor, comparing them with ancient kings of England “who sent troops to pro=tect strangers” in 16th Century mine strikes. x; . :

“It was just like the other day no

Harlan County when the Governof of Kentucky sent troops to Harlan County to protect the strangers from the anger of the displaced mine workers whose children were hungry and whose wives were ill,” Mr. Lewis asserted.

Delegates Enjoy Thrust

“Or like Indiana, a few years back, when the Governor, whose name was McNutt, sent troops to protect the strangers who were taking the jobs of men whose children were hungry and whose wives were ill.” The more than 2000 delegates to the U. M. W.s golden jubilee convention roared with laughter at Mr, Lewis’ references to Mr. McNutt, The delegates earlier had given Mr, Lewis a six-minute ovation, including the discordant playing by five bands of five different tunes at the . same time.

Lauds Union’s Basic Law

- Mr. Lewis described the constitiie tion of the Union as a guarantee to the individual members: of their rights and as a “great human and American document.” He emphasized the consolidating and advancing of the gains of the past. He counseled the miners to ‘call to political account” any public of ficial who sought to deprive them of their “natural prerogatives and. their rights as citizens.” dal “If a Congressman, a Senaior 0
