CHARGE WOMEN JURORS ‘BARRED

Three Indicted in WPA Case Base Plea on U. S. Court Practice.

It has been the practice in Federal Court hers for many years to draw only men for jury service, witnesses testified today at a hearing on pleas in abatement to indictments against three persons charged with diverting WPA labor. The defendants are Carl F. Korte-

Defense attorneys called to the witness stand Albert C. Sogemeier, court clerk, and Fred Hoke, Federal jury commissioner, who identified letters to Circuit Court judges in various counties asking them to sugest “men for jury service.” | The letters had the word “men” underlined. Mr. Sogemeier said no woman, so far as he could recall, ever had been drawn for a Federal Court jury here. Charles R: Ettinger, Marion County Clerk, ‘testified that in the last three years; 2661 women have been drawn for jury service in Marion

U. S. District Attorney Val Nolan | introduced into evidence the records of the Grand Jury to show that all 22 jurors voted: to indict Mr. Korte-| peter and Mr. Eickhoff and that 21

Included in the bill was a “blank check” authorization to the President of 132 million dollars—half in cash and half in contractual authority—to be used to step up production where needed. The Chief Executive would be required to report to Congress on or before June 30, 1942, on disposition of the fund. The fast committee action on the Army Bill—it took ohly about two hours—came in the midst of these developments: 1. An initial meeting among 100 representatives of the American aviation industry and national defense officials, after opening pledges of co-operation, ended ‘with expressions of dissatisfaction by several of the manufacturers. They said the Government had offered no concrete proposals to aid them in achieving President Roosevelt's pro-

Plans for establishing a Guidance Council to develop closer relationships between the public schools and other youth agencies were announced today by Superintendent DeWitt S. Morgan. He said the Council will seek “progressively closer relationships” between the schools and social, character-building, recreational, religious or industrial agencies. The Council also will serve as a

clearing house between the various schools on ‘guidanc¢e procedures and will dessiminate to the schools and the agencies information concerning youth problems, he said. “It is not the thought that the Council should in any wise be an agency for the centralization of guidance activities,” he said.

lems the combined resources of the schools and the community.” Superintendent Morgan said the Council will be composed of representatives from the various divisions of the school organization, one representative from each high school, two from the junior high schools and ‘one from the National Youth Administration part-time work program. Among the first work of the Council will be the distribution of data derived from the study of case histories of 3410 Indianapolis boys and girls who entered high schools in September, 1929, and September, 1933.

The New York Times said today that it was learned here yesterday that because of the serious international situation and American defense needs, President Roosevelt “is seriously considering the appointment of several prominent Republicans to secretaryships in a coalition Cabinet. In any event, the Times said, a reliable source said there was a strong possibility that the President shortly would name Col. Frank Knox, Chicago publisher and Republican Vice Presidential candidate in 1936, as Navy Secretary, with full administrative control of the department, to replace Charles Edi-

son, who is expected to resign short-

Landon, Republican Presidential candidate in 1936, would visit the President Wednesday at the latter's invitation. “Whether the President would ask Mr. Landon to join his Cabinet as War Secretary is not known,” the Times said. In Washington, White House Secretary Stephen T. Early disclaimed knowledge of, but did not deny reports that a coalition Cabinet was planned.

Strauss Ad Invites

Aircraft Plants Here

The qualifications of Indianapolis as a site for the establishment of aircraft factories were called to the attention of Government and aviation leaders today by a double-page advertisement by L. Strauss & Co, Inc, in the Washington Daily News, Washington, D. C. The advertisement was timed to coincide with today’s meeting of Army, Navy and Treasury officials and aviation industry leaders in Washington to map a program for the construction of 50,000 airplanes, according to Ralph 8S. Norwood, president of the clothing firm. “The advertisement is to focus the attention of these leaders on Indianapolis,” Mr. Norwood -said. “We want to let everybody inter-| ested know just what Indianapolis] stands for and why. We want to] let them know that Indianapolis | is a ‘natural’ for war-defense air- | plane factories.” Cited by the advertisement as, qualifications making Indianapolis] an ideal location for the establish-| [ment of ariplane factories were the Civil Aeronautics Authority's labora- | tory and plant here; the fine i |
