HOME RULE NOW BEFORE HOUSE

Would Permit City Manager

For Indianapolis; ‘Ripper’ Bills Advance.

(Continued from Page One)

Council or by petition of 10 per cent of the voters in any community. | The proposed amendment would grant a city the right to: 1. Prescribe its own form of civil government. Where a State law places a duty or responsibility upon

the city, the city shall determine which official shall exercise the duty. 2. Provide methods for nomination, election and recall of elective officers. 3. Create, abolish or combine de: partments, divisions, or bureaus to carry out the functions of local civil government, 4.*Provide for selection, compen: sation and dismissal of officers and employees and terms of office of elected officials. 5. Administer any special districts already created or hereafter created if more than half. the areas are within the city, public utility district excepted.

Groups Push Bill

It does not change any provisions of existing law. Several civic groups are pushing the bill in attempt to obtain the City Management form of government for Indianapolis. A 1921 enabling act, under which Indianapolis voted 5 to 1 to set up City Manager operation, was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in 1929 before it could be put into effect here. The proposal will require . six years for final action. It must pass this Legislature, the next one, and then be approved by voters in the election two years later. Indiana. is one of only four states which do not have this type of legislation. The Senate health measure, spori= gored by the Indiana Inter-Profes-sional Health Council and other medical groups, would have the effect of giving persons other then doctors a voice in the activities of the State Health Board.

* Three Would Name Council

The council of 17 would be appointed by the Governor, Lieutenant Governor and State Treasurer. Four of the 17 would be named as

members of the Board of Health, no more than two to be doctors. Not more than [nine persons on the council could {be doctors. The remainder would [pe other profes-

sional people such as nurses, veterinarians, druggist§ and engineers interested in publi¢ health. The merit systeni now in sfiect at tle State Health [Board would not be affected by the bill. nor would any of the present) pers sonnel. Senator Thomas A. Hendricks (D. Indianapolis), Indians, Medical Society executive secretary, was one of the signers of the bill which was introduced by Senato: Davies Batterton (R. Greenspuri).

Vetoed Two! Years Ago

A similar measure ‘vas passed by both Houses two yc¢srs ago and vetoed by Governor ‘Fownsend. Mr. Whitaker's petition in the House asks for a state-wide recount

JOHN D.S GRANDSON ARRIVES IN CAMP

PT, DIX, N, J, Jan, 28 (U. P.).— Acting Corp, Winthrop Rockefeller delivered a contingent of Army conscripts to Ft, Dix last night, arriving with 400 other draftees and volunteers to begin a year’s service. The bachelor son of John D. Rockefeller Jr., 28-year-old heir to Standard Oil millions, arrived on a special train bringing selective service men from New York and New Jersey points. Officers permitted a three-minute interview with newspapermen, curtailing it because “the other men might resent it and it might impose

a hardship on the man later on.”
