Rickenbacker ‘Says 90. Days Will Wipe Out Reserve.
NEW YORK, April 5 (U. P). Capt. Edward V. Rickenbacker, American World War ace, was on record today as predicting that
“truly starts” in Europe, the reserve of planes and pilots of all the belligerents will be exhausted. Addressing = the Municipal Bond Club here yesterday, Capt. Rickenbacker, who is president and general manager of Eastern Air Lines, Inc, declared that mortality in the present method of aerial warfare will be “terrific” and that the belligerent whose capacity for producing planes, and, primarily, pilots in the best will be the “eventual winner.” He urged his audience to do their part in helping keep this country out of the war, and said that he believed that we should buy “insurance” against foreign invasion by building up a strong navy and an air force of 100,000 planes and 50,000 pilots. He asserted that our frontiers lie in the Western Hemisphere and urged that we develop “our: social, political and commercial intercourse” with our 21 South Amer ican Reighbors,

ORDER ISSUED
State Bans Sales by Three Indiana Companies As lllegal.
Three companies that have been selling family group life insurance
{were ordered to discontinue “all ac-
tivities in the life insurance field” by the State Insurance Department today. Frank J. Viehmann, newly ap-
pointed State Insurance: Commissioner, said that more than 500
|family-group policies sold by the
companies were illegal because the concerns ‘had not qualified to do life insurance business in Indiana.” The companies ordered to stop selling life insurance policies were the Bankers Life & Casualty Co. of Indiana and the National Home Insurance Co., which Mr. Viehmann said were “non-existent,” and the National Home Accident Insurance Co. of Vincennes. Mr. Viehmann said that the latter company held a legal charter to sell accident insurance, but that it was not authorized to sell life insurance. f The Insurance Commissioner said that through transactions com-

F. of L. union en the ground that labor organizations are immune from prosecution under the Sherman Act. The Government indictment charged that William L.

amendment by Senator Henrik Shipstead, (F-L, Minn.) to exempt agricultural tariffs from change in future trade’ treaties.
WASHINGTON, April 5 (U. PJ). —President Roosevelt today called strongly for defeat of proposals to limit extension of the reciprocal trade agreement program to only one year. Vice President John N. Garner was backing the one-year extension proposal. ° It was scheduled to be offered by Senator David I. Walsh (D., Mass.) before the Senate votes, probably late today, on the Adminjstration’s request for a three-year extension of the program. Mr. Roosevelt insisted at a press conference that a three-year extension would be best calculated to assist industry and business, and to obviate the. possibility of embarrassing the new Administration which takes power next January— whether it be Democratic or Republican. : [
Garner Sees No Emergency
Senator Pat McCarran (D. Nev.), an opponent of the trade program, conceded that the Administration would succeed in sending the threeyear bill to. the White House without amendment. - “I don’t think we could get enough voters to write the Lord's prayer into the bill,” he said. Mr. Garner, himself a Presidential candidate and against a third term for Mr.. Roosevelt, told
emergency exists to warrant the three-year extension, and, if he were permitted to vote, he would back Mr. Walsh's amendment. Mr. ‘Roosevelt said he had read about Mr. Garner's support of the one-year proposal, and would .be glad to comment from what he called a novel viewpoint in an election year—the Viewpoint. of national welfare.

It would be a very bad thing for the country, Mr. Roosevelt said, if it were Congress’ policy to rewrite the tariff in wheéle or in part annually. If the treaty policy is extended for only one year, he said, the whole question of tariffs will come up for review and-debate immediately after next Jan. 2 ate (Continued on Page Three)
CITY CLAIMS HANDS TIED ON RESTAURANT
Residents at 52d and Sunset Blvd. Plan. New Fight.
Ctiy officials said today that no official action could be taken “one way or another” to interfere with plans for a $4500 restaurant building to be built at Sunset Blvd. and 92d St., despite Protests of property owners. A/ permit for the restaurant was issued as a matter of routine by the City Building Commission yesterday to J. J. Klee, the congractor, Immediately the office of Commissioner George R. Popp Jr. was beseiged with telephone calls from residents in the vicinity objecting to the venture. George Rooker, Plan Commission secretary-engineer, who approyed the permit issuance, said it was in order since the property site has been zoned for business since 1922. Adjacent property owners indicated, however, they would seek to have the site rezoned for residence in an effort to block the restaurant. They sent a petition for this zoning change to City Council Monday night, but the Council ruled it was powerless to act unless an ordinance

IN PRISON REVOLT,
‘Mr. Tells.’ |
«Dan R. Anderson, Indianapolis grocer, today denied before a Criminal Court jury that he ever knowingly had
| filed a false or fraudulent poor
relief claim.’ « Mr. Anderson is on trial on charges of filing a false relief claim and obtaining money under false pretenses. He told the jury, which
| is -expected to receive the case tos | morrow,
that he didn’t know who affixed the signatures to the ale leged false claims “unless it would be the relief clients or someone who came to get the groceries for the clients. n 281 gave merchandise for every trustee grocery order that came to my stores,” he said. “I never knowingly signed a false claim. I heard complaints in May of 1939 that someone was cashing false grocery orders. | I told Thomas M. Quinn Sr., the trustee at that time, to check up on it. Mr. Quinn said, ‘Go ahead, That will take care of itself.’ ”
Claims Names Fictitious
Prosecutor David M. Lewis showed 10 alleged false grocery orders to Mr, Anderson angl asked him if he recalled any of the names of alleged recipients which were signed on the forms. | ‘| Mr, Anderson said he did not, He added, “Out of so many people who came to get relief groceries, I don't see how it would be possible for me to pick out any certain name.” On cross = examination, under questioning by Mr. Lewis, Anderson said that his grocery business had | “doubled between May 1938 and May 1939.” | He admitted that his poor relief grocery business amounted to about $2000 a week last year and his neg profit was. between 4 and 5 per gent; “The township business is, as 8 matter of fact Mr. Anderson, more profitable than the regular business, isn't i$?” Mr. Lewis asked. “Yes,” Mr. Andersc replied, “but on the other hand we had to borrow money because claims were paid so late that it almost came out the same as the regular business.” |
Visited Quinn's Office
Mr. Anderson said that he was a ‘close friend of Mr. Quinn and testified he spent about half an hour a day in Mr. Quinn’s office. He was asked by Mr. Lewis if he id not now know that there wag no such address as 620% E. Market, St. This is the address which a purported relief client named Melvin Woodson was supposed to haves received relief groceries. “Yes. I know that now,” Mr. An= derson replied. The State charges that the des fendantJcertified to the Township Trustee that he had filled the 10 alleged false orders and that he received payment upon them. The State | also| claims that the names signed to the orders indicating the clients had received the merchans dise were fictitious. A highlight of the morning ses« sion came (in the testimony of Paul Lawhorn, Mr. Anderson's nephew, who clerked and delivered orders at the E. 10th St. store \ On direct examination he told the jury he remembered waiting on a man named “Joe Tells.” He described the allege relief recipient as tall. slender and “a man who wore a khaki shirt nearly every week.” Two of the alleged false grocery orders introduced into evidence by the State and ‘examined by the jury yesterday were in the name of Joseph Tells, 1643 Alvord St. for
