‘NO LOOPHOLE CITY MANAGER ACTION URGED

Junior C. of C., Voters’ "League Favor Amendment, Study Group Told.

The City. Manager Study Committee will meet again Monday to act upon recommendations that the manager form of government can be established in Indiana cities by constitutional amendment better than by direct legislation. : Constitutional amendments, proposed by the Indiana Junior Cham-

ber of Commerce and the Indiana

League of Women Voters at a public hearing in the State House yesterday, would require six years to . complete. The Junior Chambér of Commerce City Manager Committee, headed

VOLUME 51—NUMBER 291

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1940

by John T. Rocap, recommended|s

that the proposed .amendment give cities the right to adopt proportionate representation in the election of city councils and that it include certain home rule provisions.

Urges ‘Extreme Care’”

Mr. Rocap said the Junior C. of C. committee warned that the amendments must be drafted “with extreme care in every detail or the Legislature might emasculate the city manager's powers in future years.” Also he said its study revealed that if a city manager is not guaranteed enough powers the man=< ager plan would defeat itself in time. Mr. Rocap’s committee report said thé members had determined that the only “sure way to establish the manager form of government is by a constitutional amendment because any legislation might be held invalid by the Supreme Court at any time.” Previous Failures Cited

The report pointed out previous ~ costly failures in attempting to set up the manager form of government by direct legislation. . The first City Manager Enabling Act was passed by the Legislature - in 1021 and it later was declared invalid, It was amended in 1929, but was again held unconstitutional by the Supreme Court that year. ‘Elmon Williams, of the Junior C. of C. committee, said an amend- | ment could be passed by both houses of the 1941 General Assembly and voted through again in the 1943 session. “Then ¥ could be presented to the voters for ratification in the 1944 general election and the Legislature could pass a final enabling act in. 1945, empowering cities to start manager governments in 1946,” he said.

P. R. for Councils Advocated

Mr. Rotap said the committee réecommended proportionate representation on city councils “to give minority groups adequate representation on councils and prevent small majority groups from controlling the councils.” Under the proportionate representation plan for city councils, Mr. Rocap recommended that voters be required to vote their first, second and third choices -for city council seats. ‘“When one candidate receives sufficient votes to elect him the remainder of votes given him are automatically given to the second choice candidate and so on through the list until the required number ‘are elected,” he explained. The C. of C. Committee’s recommendation on home rule stated that “home rule government never has

been known in Indiana in a strict:

sense” and that cities “always have been creatures of the legislature.”

Some Board Control Advised

“The report recommended that the State Board of Accounts, State Tax Board, Public Service Commission and State Board of Health should continue to retain some control over cities under a manager form of government. “State control through these boards has proven beneficial to city government in many instances,” the report stated. However, ‘the committee stated that the power of the Legislature to fix the salaries of city officials should, be eliminated by constitutional amendment. “We have found that the Legislature has made some mistakes in fixing municipal salaries in the past,” the report stated. ' Mrs. Lester Smith, representing the League of Women Voters, said her organization agreed with the C. of C, Comniittee that a constitutional amendment was the best method. Although the Study Committee, of which Prof. Clarence W. Efroymson, of Butler University, is chairman, explained that it was not interested in discussion of the (Continued on Page Three)

Lauter Group Opens Drive “To Have Clearance Commission Named.

Lauter Civic Association members today sought 500 signatures of property owners to a petition asking Mayor Reginald i. Sullivan to appoint a slum clearance commission. A resolution to petition the Mayor was adopted at a meeting of the association last night at the Lauter Boys’ Club. More than 80 West Side residents and members of the association said they would help circulate the petition. ‘In a stetement issued through Mrs, David#Kelsch, the association went on record as condemning the “great number of inadequate.houses” not only in the West Side but throughout the city. “Property * values of well-kept homes are deteriorating as a result of the presence of many sub-stand-ard dwellings whose lack of sanitary facilities results in as offensive and as dangerous a condition as is to be found anywhere in Indianapolis,” the resolution stated. Association members referred to the vicinity of School 16, but asserted that similar conditions were to be found in many. other sections of the city. Representatives of the Citizens Housing Committee attended the meeting and pledged the committee’s co-operation to the association’s efforts to secure the slum clearance commission. Mrs. Kelsch indicated the commission would be formed of civic leaders .and would investigate slum conditions in Indianapolis, making a report to ‘the Mayor on the need of a low cost housing program. . - The resolution followed a showing of a movie on health and sanitation by the State Health Board’s Community Sanitation Division. Carl King and G. O. Loftus of the Community Sanitation Division ad= dressed the group briefly on sanitation problems. arising from bad housing conditions.

WAR WON'T AIDU.S. FARMS, EVANS SAYS

Europe Wants Only Arms, Parley Told.

R. M. Evans, National Agricultur-| al Adjustment Act administrator, today warned Indiana farmers not to place any hope in the European war for a new market for their produce. Mr. Evans, who arrived from Washington this morning, spoke before almost 3500 Indiana farmers, county agents, and State AAA officials at Tomlinson Hall. “European nations just .aren’t interested in our farm products these days,” he said. “They're interssted in our guns and our plahes and our pombs, and they're holding onto their credit to buy these. “They're stepping up their own production of corn, pork, tobacco and wheat and getting along with less of them. Just as long as they can, they're going to produce the greater part of these commodities that they need.” Mr. Evans also urged farmers to take steps to increase their farms.

In urging a study of weather the committee placed emphasis ‘on’ possible revision of reporting standards of ceiling depth and visibility minimums.

The recommendation is ‘believed to be the outgrowth of a <Jong-stand-ing controversy between the airlines and the Government Weather Bureau over alleged discrepancies - or variances in weather observations between pilots and Government-ap-proved observers, Maj. R. W. Schroeder, United Air Lines vice president and committee head, told the group, “Maybe our methods of weather observation, as they affect flight control, may be antique. What we are interested in is factual knowledge.” The committee’s recommendation was made in adopting a similar recommendation for such a weather study made by a sub-committee of the A. T. A., composed of .the chief pilots of all airlines. A recommendation for a study of congested air-lanes with a view to establishing dual-lane air traffic between busy terminals also was made by the committee, which is ‘meeting in the :second day of a four-day A.

PLANS GUARDED

Leaves Capital on Train for

South as Tuscaloosa Docks at Pensacola.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14 (U. P.).—

President Roosevelt imposed conditions of war-time secrecy today as he left the Capital for an un-| designated seaport and board a war vessel for a 10-day cruise “somewhere in the South.”

Mystery surrounding the cruise

suggested the possibility that Mr. Roosevelt might extend the fishing trip to neutrality patrol vessels keeping watch along the southeastern or gulf seaboards.

At White House orders, absolute

secrecy was maintained around his

plans, and only a few facts filtered

through the censorship. He left Washington aboard a Southern Railway train and it was understood he would go to Pensacola. There he] is expected to board the cruiser Tuscaloosa.

Mr. Roosevelt described his trip

as a fishing cruise to require about 10 days. But the secrecy surrounding today’s departure had no precedent in other spring fishing trips he made.

In announcing he will leave today,

Mr. Roosevelt presented no explanation. He said merely that he could not say at what port he would board the vessel, and added sccommodations aboard will permit only three newspapermen — representatives of the three major press associations—to accompany him.

Finnish Volunteers Licensed

In London, the Government ane nounced that Britain was licensing volunteers for Finland and it was understood 2000 already had been recruited in answer to the urgently repeated Finnish calls for outside assistance. The British and French attitude toward Soviet Russia was becoming steadily more hostile and there was. a growing belief in London that Moscow might share with Berlin

British. While observers. did ‘not believe the British would make the break, there were indications that the Allies would welcome a break on the part of the Russian Government or even an open Communist military combine with the Nazis. Finland’s new appeal to the world for help reveals the anxiety of her leaders lest the successive waves of Red troops, hurled with disregard of casualties’ against the Manner heim Line, and the incredible rain of artillery shells, finally overcome the Finnish resistance.

Finland at “Verdun”

Finland is generally regarded as now being at her Verdun. If the Russians break that line, the way would be open to Viipuri and Fine land’s chief industrial cities. Military experts think there is ‘almost no chance that the Finns could stop the Russians after that. The repeated Allied pledges to help save the Finns still stand; fact, while there has been nothing official, there have been repeated indications of a strong section of British and French opinion which believes Finland must be saved, even if it means open’ war with Russia. Britain’s action in officially coune tenancing the raising of a Finnish volunteer force does not indicate any desire to walk softly in dealing with Russia. The British position, it appears from London dispatches, is against a declaration of war against Russia, or even a breaking of relations from the Allied side. Both the British and French, however; hold that if Russia wants to make war out of it, the Allies are ready. = Some, influential French and British leaders even contend that war with Russia would be an allied advantage.

Finns Send New Appeal

It is a question of whether they will prevail, or the. school which wants to finish with Germany first before tackling the “Communist menace.” The necessity of saving Finland, if it comes to the point where only real military action will do it, may be. the deciding factor. - In Helsinki, the Finns claimed that the Mannerheim Line was une damaged except for loss of a few minor outposts ‘under the heavy pressure put on the Karelian Isthmus Front by many thousands- of Russian troops which were estimated to have lost up to 40,000 dead in the current drive Nevertheless, there came a ‘loud cry from official Finnish so for outside aid and with it—and ge. signed to encourage foreign par ticipation—came official charges that (Contitued on Page Three)
