i HELD MANDATORY

The State Tax Board has warned “ officials of all counties that failure "to hold delinquent. tax sales is a violation of the law and is punishable by fine or even jail sentence. . The warning was issued following a report from Nicholas Z. Musser, St. Joseph County auditor, who said that the County Council had deleted from the 1940 budget a $6000 appropriation for expenses for the sale. “Failure to hold the sale would be - grossly unfair to the 91 other counties of Indiana,” Philip Zoercher, State Tax Board chairman, said, )

DELINQUENT SALES

TIBBETT FAVORS OPERA TRANSLATOR SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 26 (U. P.).—Lawrence Tibbett said today that what American opera needs most is a good translator. . The New York Metropolitan Opera baritone, here for a concert, said “the average patron of opera understands and appreciates only the most familiar arias.” “The fault lies in the staging of

operas,” Mr. Tibbett said. “They

should be in our own tongue and in the vernacular so they can be brought home to the great mass of people. If opera needs any one thing now it is a good translator.”

EMMERT URGES GUN PRACTICE

Tells. Lumbermen Guard Needs Lessons in - Marksmanship.

The example of Finland should teach our Army and National Guard to give more attention to marksmanship, Judge James A. Emmert of Shelbyville, told the Indiana HardNox Lumberman’s Association toay. : The = Republican candidate for

volver marksman, spoke at the convention business session in the Hotel Severin. Other speakers were Dr. A. P. Haake of Chicago, representing the National Furniture Manufacturers Association, and John W. McClure, also of Chicago, National Hardware Lumber Manufacturers Association secretary. : Dr. Haake spoke on “How to Lick a Depression.” y A banquet closes the convention tonight. Judge Emmert compared the marksmanship of individual Finnish soldiers to that of “our Kenutcky forefathers.” ” “Our own Army and National Guard have given too much time to organization and paper detail, and not enough time to improving the shooting of the individual soldier,” he said. + : “More time should: be required for target practice, not only to improve the morale, but to increase the effectiveness of all the troops. Training in marksmanship is the best and. cheapest preparedness for national security.”

ASSAILS ‘REPRISALS’ AGAINST WITNESSES

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26 (U. P.). —Rep. Thomas Jenkins (R. O.), said today that many manufacturers are afraid to testify against the reciprocal trade program because they believe they might be subject to “reprisals.” Rep. Jenkins is a member of the House Ways and Means Committee which is holding hearings on thé question of extending the trade program. After J. M. Wells, East Liverpool, O., pottery manufacturer, had .-criticized the trade act as being inimical to the domestic pottery industry, Rep. Jenkins remarked that the committee had been having trouble getting some witnesses to testify. “It is very refreshing to have you come down here,” Rep. Jenkins said. “We have failed to get a great many manufacturers down here to testify ‘because of fear of reprisals.” He did not say from whom the “reprisals” might come, but added: “Every witness is confronted with this situation. Never before have I seen such vicious attacks on witnesses.” : “One reason why this sort of thing ‘is done is the effort this Democratic Administration is making to put this bill across despite evidence presented here by business men such as you,” Rep. Allen T. Treadway (R. Mass.) said. i o——— a To

SNAG IN EFFORT T0 MODIFY WPA

Seeks: Change in Clause Requiring 25 Per Cent Local Sponsorship.

By DANIEL M. KIDNEY : . Times Staff Writer ;

. WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.—Since other states are not having the same

: [difficulties as Indiana in obtaining

the 25 per cent local sponsorship for WPA projects, Rep. Louis Lud-

¢ |low may strike a snag in any effort

to modify that provision of the law, it appears today.

The Indianapolis Congressman

; [said yesterday that he probably

would sponsor such a change. According to Col. F. C. Harrington, WPA Commissioner, little complaint has been received at WPA headquarters here regarding the 25 per cent provision.

Lay-Offs Cause Difficulty

Greatest difficulty has come from the lay-off of all those who had been on the WPA rolls for 18 months or more. This also was written into the law by the WPA Appropriations Committee of which Rep. Ludlow is a member. During a recent visit to Indianapolis, Rep. Ludlow announced that he also would seek to make this provision more flexible in the next WPA appropriation bill. Col. Harrington today reported to Rep. Clifton R. Woodrum, WPA Appropriations Committee chairman, on the results of a survey covering 23 leading cities which shows that 87 per cent of the 775,000 workers discharged under the 18-month clause in July and August, 1939,

were without jobs in November.

In Indianapolis there were 3497 dismissed during those two months, the report shows, by November 13.5 per cent were employed; 19 per cent reassigned to WPA; 48.5 per cent receiving relief, and 19 per cent without private jobs and not on direct relief.

Average $15.15 Weekly

The 472 employed (13.5 per cent) received an average weekly wage of $15.15, but 32.7 per cent of the total were being paid less than $10. Comparing the family income of the 2832 workers not reassigned, the surveyors found that by November,

11.1 per cent were receiving incomes higher than the WPA project wage; 1.3 per cent approximately the same, and 87.6 per cent lower than the project wage. | . The average weekly family income in November in Indianapolis\ was $6.19, the report shows, while the national average for the 23 cities was $8.23. Of the 2832 workers not reassigned, 8.8 per cent had no income; 33.2 per cent up to $4.99 weekly; 33.8 per cent from $5 to $9.99; 11.8 per cent $10 to $14.99; 6.6 per cent $25 or more.

1056 -Not Reassigned

There were 1056 not reassigned and not receiving direct relief. Their average weekly income was $6.60, as compared with the national average of $5.50, according to the ré-

port. Of this number, 23.6 per cent, had no income; 203 per cent up to $499; 19.1 per cent from $5 to $9.96; 11.8 per cent from $10 to $14.99; 11.8 per cent from 15 to $1999; 6 per cent from $20 to $24.99 and 7.4 per cent $25 or more. Another modification which Rep. Ludlow will seek, he said, is to abandon the rule whcih dismisses a worker from the WPA rolls if he

Own Weather ~ Impedes Reds

By Science Service : WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.— ‘The hand of winter recently gave an ironic touch to the Russian war against Finland. The minus 60-degree icy blasts which swept northwest= ern Europe and broke the Soviet hold on Finland’s Arctic front were a Russian invasion. A vast, cold high-pressure area formed in Siberia, and instead of moving off in a gener utheasterly direction as elements normally do, it backed up across northern Russia into the Arctic sector of the Finnish front. With supplies low and ‘transport paralyzed, the Rus“sian troops there had no choice but to retreat, fighting a furious rear-guard action with a

vindictive and relentless enemy,

‘DOWNING STREET’

LONDON, Jan. 26 (U.

The “Downing Street” cake, as it was at once called, is being served at her tea parties. The formula: Weigh two .eggs and take their weight in margarine, cream the
