MANAGER PLAN
OUTDATED, SAYS
MRS. REYNOLDS
| Believes Drive for Indiana Law Would Get Little Party Support.
By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.—-A new city manager law for Indiana is unlikely to receive much party support from either the Republicans or Democrats, Mrs. Grace Banta Reynolds, Indiana Republican national committeewoman, = predicted here today. Both parties depend on political training afforded by local govern-
ments to carry on the organization;
work which finally wins elections in the state and nation, she said. “It seems to me that city manager government is a sort of outmoded reform,” Mrs. Reynolds asserted.
Recalls Coffin Statement
“Perhaps it is all right if you have it supported by such sincere nonpolitical persons as Charles Taft in Cincinnati. But where there is one success there have been numerous
failures. Take the case of Kansas City, where the city manager was selected by the Pendergast machine. “I recall that the late George Coffin, when he was termed the Republican political boss of Marion County, told me that he would not object to establishing the city manager government in Indianapolis. For he planned on selecting the men . who would select the Manager.” The last city manager law in Indiana was declared unconstitutional cn a technicality in an opinion written by former Judge David A. Meyers of the Indiana Supreme Court, an ardent Republican. “There was little grief in either party when that law was knocked out,” Mrs. Reynolds recalled.
Cites Own Town
“Ir a state where Republicans and Democrats are so evenly divided as they are in Indiana, we need the townships, counties and cities as proving grounds for our statesmen of the future. : “Numerous examples can be found in the small towns, such as Cambridge City where I live, of where the ‘Citizens Ticket’ or ‘Peoples Ticket’, so called, turns out to be dominated by either Republicans or Democrats and the net. result is party government without the label. “In my opinion we should be proud of our party affiliation and establish good government in the cities and everywhere else without resorting to some city manager system which may turn out to be a mere subterfuge for machine rule.”

“Illinois Forfeited Right To Jail Him.
‘CHICAGO, Feb. 21 (U. P.)—William Bioff, film union tsar, mapped with his attorneys today legal strategy he hopes will enable ‘him to
Ef escape’ ‘serving the remainder of an -}18-yeaf-old Jail sentence for pan-
dering. ‘ He conferred in a hotel room with
‘| his attorneys who will go into court
Friday and argue that Illinois forfeited its right to jail him by allowing his case to lapse. Bioff, western representative of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, A. F. of L., and leader of 30,000 movie workers, flew here from Los Angeles and surrendered voluntarily to State’s Attorney’s police yesterday.
Fingerprinted at Jail
He was taken to the city jail, where he had been registered 18 years ago as No. 1288, and was fingerprinted and measured. Two hours later he was released under $5000 bond on a writ of habeas corpus pending a hearing Friday. Bioff said he would fight resen-
tencing and charged his return was inspired by “moneyed interests” and “Communists.” . “I represent 31,000 people who are fighting for better wages, conditions and hours,” he said. “Everything was timed pretty well. Who would be! interested in going back all these years to dig up a skeleton and make an issue of it.” Bioff was convicted and sentenced to six months in jail in 1922. He was released after serving six days 'so0 he could appeal. The sentence was affirmed by the Appellate Court but Bioff remained at liberty under formal notice that he would appeal to the State Supreme Court. The appeal never was taken.
Judge Orders Probe
Chief Justice John Prystalski of the Criminal Court, who granted the habeas corpus writ, ordered an investigation as to the manner in which Bioff escaped serving his full sentence. Shortly after his return here, Bioff wired West Coast union leaders his resignation as chairman of a committee which has been conducting wage negotiations with movie producers. At Hollywood, it was announced that the conference of film studio unions refused to accept the resignation, preferring Bioff to any other negotiator.
