Grading Controls Price

Under the system, producers whose milk is : qualified for the Grade A pool are paid 73 cents more per hundred pounds than farmers whose product is listed in the Grade B pool. The grading is based upon dairy equipment used by farmers and the bacteria count in the milk. The producers who signed the petition argued that producers in the +B pool should not be penalized 73 ‘cents per hundred “jast because they didn’t have fancy dairy equipment.” The petition also demanded that producers be relieved from paying a share of city milk inspection costs. Producers argued that the City Council should appropriate funds to inspect milk on the Indianapolis market. Backs Present Plan One group of Marion County producers, the Independent Milk «Producers Association, did not join - in the petition to abolish the twopool setup. D. E. Long, representing the group, argued that abolishing the pool plan “would be breaking faith with the farmers Who invested their money in equipment to qualify for Grade A prices.” The groups filing the petition were the Indianapolis Dairymen’s Cooperative, The Dairy Producers’ Council and an unorganized group headed by Frank W. McGready.

Gracie Fields To Wed Banks

HOLLYWOOD, March 14 (U. P.).—Gracie Fields, reputedly the highest-salaried actress in the world, and Monte Banks, her manager and director, planned today to make another visit to the Marriage License Bureau, and this time. they said, they would not flee in confusion. They will be married next week in a “quiet ceremony with only a few friends atténding.” Mr. Banks destroyed a marriage application Tuesday when reporters questioned him. “Naturally, we were disappointed and excited when we were discovered at the Marriage License Bureau,” Miss Fields said. “That’s why we left; we didn’t want too much: publicity.” They had intended to be married in London, but because of the illness of Miss Fields’ mother, the ceremony will be held here ‘so she can attend.

WINTON READY | TO SURRENDER

Predicts Defeat in Own Fight to Prevent Hatch Law Extension.

By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, D. C., March 14. —Senator Sherman Minton (D. Ind.), is about ready to surrender

in his two-week-old battle against|

extension of the Hatch Law to the states, he confessed today. He has four amendments pending upon which he will speak, but declared he did not expect the fili-

buster to last into next week.

On the various votes on the dilatory amendments offered daily, Senator Minton’s side has slipped from the first high on the Miller Amendment which was lost by a vote of 41 to 44. : ‘This amendment would have pulled the teeth in the original law and merely left the sections preventing coercion, thus permitting Federal payrollers to continue their active participation in politics.

Minton Foresees Defeat

The ‘present bill extends provisions of the Hatch Law to all state employees paid in part with Federal funds. “The final test will come on a motion to recommit the bill,” Senator Minton said. “But, I doubt that we will be able to muster as many votes as we did on the Miller Amendment.” : After comeng from luncheon with President Roosevelt yesterday, where he was told that it is illogical to oppose extension of the law so long as it applies to full pay Federal payrollers, Senator Minton took the floor ‘to castigate the Republicans for failure to support the Bankhead Amendment which would limit political contributions to $1000 top. He termed the G. O. P. Senators “rubber stamps” and questioned the political purity of their multi-mil-lionaire contributors. “They only want to purify the little fellows,” Senator Minton shouted. “They want to purify the 2 per cent fellows, like me. I am the product of a 2 per cent club and they are the product of a $100,000 club—a PEW campaign contribution. PEW, PEW.

Assails Republicans

“That will bé the cry in the next campaign. It will reek to heaven with its malodorous ‘fumes. - PEW and his millions, Annenberg and his millions. PEW. “The more we name it the worse it smells. ; “The Republicans will be out with the boodle bag, getting hundreds of thousands of dollars, Republican Senators sit on the other side of the aisle protecting that kind of pernicious political activity.” : Senator Minton reported today that he has received about two

dozen letters denounging his lead- |

ership in the ‘fight against the Hatch Law extension and about 50 expressing appreciation and praise. The former came from Republicans and the latter from Democrats, the Senate Democratic Whip declared. : Although most of these letters are from Indiana, some of the Democratic ones came from other states, including nearby Maryland, faraway Texas and from Ohio. The 10th District Young Democrats sent Senator Frederick VanNuys (D. Ind.) a letter urging him to back up Senator Minton in this But the senior Senator will continue to vote with Senator Carl Hatch (D. N. M.) and Democratic Leader Alben Barkley, he has declared. The Leader and the Whip have tangled repeatedly during the prolonged debate on the measure. Senator Minton made a strong Jefense of ine Indiana Democrats n a speech from the floor d the debates. rine

Council Aims to Conserve Vision, Better Lot of » Sightless.

The Indiana Council for the Coordination of Services for the Blind embarked on a two-point program today. os > First aim will be the conservation of vision through public education and “co-operation with the State Medical Association’ committee on the conservation of vision. The second objective is the “betterment of the lot of the blind.” Albert ' Stump, Indianapolis at-

School for the Blind here, ‘last night submitted 10 recommendations for achieving the two aims to the council which approved them. The report was prepared by a

Stump and including Slater Bartlow, state vocational rehabilitation supervisor; Dr. R. J. Masters; Virgil Sheppard, of the Welfare Department’s’ public - assistance division, and Dr. C. W. Rutherford. The report said the council would

function as a co-ordinating agency rather than as an agency for directing action, but recommended that the council “do everything possible to make the sighted conscious of their responsibility for the prevention of blindness and the welfare of the blind.

precinct committeeman do?

“At night—not when he is working out on the highway, but when he comes home at night—he goes through his precinct ringing doorbells and calling people to the door, and asking them, ‘How are you goIng to vote this year?’ He polls his precinct, finding out what his people are thinking, carrying the message to . headquarters, canvassing the situation, and then going back and trying to talk to John Doe and Richard Roe and Billy Jones and find out why they are off the party, if they are off, and what he can do to get them back on to the party ticket again. “Then when election day comes, he must see that his precinct is all registered, if it has a registration law, and he must know where his vote is. and he must get his vote out to the polls and into the ballot box in order that his party may be successful at the polls.
