ASK S. AID IN 2% CLUB PROBE

"Republicans Want Revenue . Data for Inquiry Into Democrat Rule.

Another investigation of the Two Per Cent Club and Indiana Democratic leaders was launched in the Senate today. In a resolution, Republican Senators requested , that Governor Henry Schricker, a Democrat, ask the Federal . Internal Revenue Bureau to turn overv information obtained in a recent income tax investigation here. They said the reports would be used in “determining whether additional gross income tax deficiencies for past years should be asserted.” The resolution was approved Unanimously by the Senate after Sen. Edward Green (R. Indianap--0lis), who introduced it, had assured Minority Leader Roger Phillips (D. New Albany) that the provisions would cover Willkie Clubs and individuals as well as the 2 Per Cent Club and its officers. ~— “It is common fo that certain individuals (and the Two Per Cent Club of \.Indiana have been under investigation by the U. #8. with respect to income tax lia{hilly for past years,” the résolution aid. “It has been reported that alll of these individuals and organizations have made large settlements with the Federal Government on account of income tax liability for those years.”

Recall Settlement Report

It was reported several months ago that Bowman Elder, treasurer of the now defunct Two Per Cent Club, campaign fund-raising organization, had made an $83,000 settlement with Federal income tax collectors, and that former Governor Paul V, McNutt also had made a $3000 settlement. These settlements were reported after more than a score of Treas‘ury Department investigators had - spent several weeks here studying the Democratic club's books and other evidence. ' The resolution asked that Indiana’'s Treasurer be permitted “to examine all the returns, schedules, lists and other written statements filed with the Internal Revenue Commissioner, designed to be supplemental to or become a part of all the income tax returns of the various organizations generally known as the Two Per Cent Club, the former officers and directors of such organizations, together with such other persons as may be designated by the Indiana Treasurer or Governor.”

o House Has First Bills

Under Federal laws, U. S. income tax returns are opened for inspection only upon request of the Governor of a state and information secured may be. used only for the administration of the state tax laws. In an earlier resolution, now awaiting House action, Republican: Senators set up a six-man legislative investigating committee to study the last eight years of Democratic administrations in the State, including the Two Per Cent Club. Another Senate-approved bill awaiting House action would abolish the Two Per Cent Club by re-. . pealing its exemption from the Corrupt Practices Act.

Meet on Vote Probe

A third investigation now pending before the Legislature is the contest of Governor Schricker’s election on the basis of fraud charges made by Virgil Whitaker, Hammond attorney. A 14-member joint legislative committee is to hold its first organization meeting in the Supreme Court chambers tomorrow morning and probably will set the date for hearing evidence collected by a Republican probe committee which - has been studying Lake County returns of the Nov. 5 election.

HEARING SET ON LOCAL OPTION’

House Com’ tees Seek to End Controversies on Other Measures.

Legislative fur was flying today as several House Cominittees tried to work their way out| of a crossfire of controversial Holise and Senate bills which have been piling up since the beginning of | the session. The Public Morals Committee was to lead the way this afternoon with a hearing on the “local option” liquor bill sponsorec by “dry” groups, Parent-Teacher Associations and church organizations. Tomorrow night the Labor Committee will conduct 8 hearing on the Wage-Hour and Workmen's Compensations bills. | Then next Monday the Labor Committee will invite proponents and | opponents of a Wage-Hour bill fol beauty operators to a meeting. |

Fight Over Amendments

The Judiciary Cominittee yesterday witnessed a pitched battle between the Associated ‘Theater Owners of Indiana and a ploc of teacher, church and merchant organizations over a bill sponsored by the Theater Owners to regulate “fly-by-night” amusement operators. Arguments of the Theater Owners did not convince the Committee of a need for the bill and the measure was indefinitely postponed. The Education Committee aired a disagreement, between the Township Trustees’ and | the Indiana State Teachers’ Assotiations over a measure to permit townships tocontrol more closely thi actions of a teacher in severing 4% contract. Action was postponed in order to give

Education Committee members, however, voted unanimously to report favorably on aj bill to permit teachers called for military service to regain their positions without loss of tenure or refirement status. The Labor Commitee took favorable action on a bill to empower the State Barber Board to establish maximum working hours and minimum charges. A similar provision of the present law was declared unconstitutional, but‘ Rep. Glenn Markland (R. Zionsville), author of the bill, told cominittee members he wags sure his bill could stand a constitutionality test.

Times Special WASHINGTON, Feb. 4—William Gibbs McAdoo, at the time of his death, was slated for appointment as financial agent for and fiscal advisor to the Mexican Government, according to reliabl2 reports here. In December, shortly after the inauguration of President Avila Camacho, dispatches from Mexico City reported that Mr. McAdoo and several other American citizens were undertaking to raise outside capital for investment in Mexican enterprises.

However, extra deputies would be provided in the Attorney General's office to assist counties in enforcement. Compromise on Option

The measure was seen as a comspromise to the local option bill introduced in the House last week under the sponsorship of seven dry organizations. That bill, now held in committee, would permit voters to outlaw liquor sales in any township or county by a majority of votes at the polls, The G. O. P. bill would prohibit any person connected with the liquor or beer business from taking any active part in politics. Jail sentences are provided for violation of this provision. Majority leaders said the bill would “end beer rackets” in accordance with the party's campaign pledges.

LEAGUE'S CHANGES

MAGE IN MERIT BILL

score of technical amendments, drawn up. by the League of Women Voters, were placed in the G. O. P. Merit System bill in the Senate today. The amendments were to clarify certain provisions. Because of their number, the bill was ordered reprinted and is to be considered further by the Senate tomorrow. Heading a: list of nine bills passed and sent to the House today was one requiring relief clients to work in return for aid. It was approved by a vote of 39 to 4. It would permit Township Trustees to require able-bodies indigents to do “needed work” in return for assistance. The work must be done “for any governmental unit” within the indigent’s own township or adjoining township. Others would: Establish a department of death, under the State Division of Labor, with the director appointed by the Labor Commissioner. Provide that if no provision fis made in a will for a child born after a will is writen, the child shall have his legal share of the parent's estate just as if the parent had written no will.

With the public crying for action, the Legislature is certain to swing into afternoon sessions this week—probably today. And if legislative leaders want to avoid one of the biggest eleventhhour jams in history, they probably will order Saturday sessions next, with night sessions not far behind, Several night public hearings al-

ready have been set by committees. Fireworks were expected in the House this afternoon, with Speaker James Knapp indicating that the Representatives would be in session and a public hearing on the red-hot local option bill scheduled in the chambers at 3

. m. At least two hundred supporters of the bill are expected to come in from all over the State. They already have made the trip once in vain. Speaker Knapp says the session should be over by 3 p. m. Several legislators would be very happy if it would run‘on up until the dinner hour. It looks like the dry forces might be the first victims of the legislative “jam.”

2 Per Cent Trouble

The “Two Per Cent Club” repealer ran headlong into trouble

. yesterday when it came up in the

House. The Democrats lashed out at the old Corrupt Practices Act, under whose provisions the nowdefunct Democratic campaign fund raising organization would be placed by the bill. They charged , that this law prohibits candidates from “even passing out stogies” and forbids newspapers to “pan” candidates in articles or cartoons. They claimed that these provisions and other similar ones are violated constantly, and asked that the repealer be recommitted to committee so the old law could be revised. The motion lost. Rep. H. H. Evans (R. New Castle), who has some ideas of his ,oWn in connection with this law, sided in with the Democratic charges. He carried his complaint to Majority Leader Millis. After a series of conferences, Rep. How= .ard Batman (D. Terre Haute), who had carried the Democratic torch, moved to reconsider his original motion, and this one carried. So the repealer will come up for action again today, and may be sent back to committee for some changes. A tip to Republicans: If you look closely at a Democratic amendment, you will find a clause that may sound the death knell for the Willkie Clubs in Indiana,

Self Restrained Evans That old war horse, Rep. H. H. Evans, is having a hard time restraining himself. After being quoted yesterday as urging “new leadership in the Republican Party and not Bobbittism,” he was asked from the floor what he meant by “Bobbittism.” “You try to find out. I haven't been able to,” was his quick reply. He also has been charging that “some high-priced lawyers” might be seeking legal fees to defend the G.)O. P. legislation in court and admitted he was irked by orders to “keep out of it and a lot of other bunk which I do not like.” Although he probably will deny it now, the New Castle Republican veteran is expected to boil over

one of these days.

Defense Bills 'Jammed'

More than two weeks ago, Republican leaders met with Governor Schricker and agreed to co-operate on four non-political defense measures. A few days later, two were introduced in the Senate—one creating a Home Guard and the other seting up a State Defense Council. Since that time, there has been no more action. Two other bills, an anti-sabotage measure and one to license and regulate explosives, scheduled to be introduced in the House, am are missing. The Home Guard bill ras been temporarily shelved by a Republican committee which has proposed instead the addition of 200 men to the State Police force to handle defense duty. This change is certain to stir up a fight, with some business leaders opposing the IG. O. P. police plan. And he bill tg create a State Defense Counci! languishes in committee while the National Defense Council floods the Governor’s office with stacks of requests for information and assistance. No one has been able to find out just what is delaying this legislation.

2 ” 2 'Pet' Bills Defeated Strangely enough, the only two bills defeated in the Senate so far have been pet measures of the two Republican attorneys who head the Senate's top judiciary committees. Senator Thurman Biddinger of Marion wanted ice fishing prohibited while Senator Lawrence Carlson of Huntington wanted to force all public officials to use Central Standard Time. But the majority went against them. . , . The House Democrats slipped an amendment into the Senate-passed anti-nepotism bill vesterday prohibiting officials from hiring a brother-in-law or sister-in-law. This would oust Robert Loring, deputy securities commissioner and brother-in-law of Secretary of State James Tucker. But the House voted down another proposal to prohibit one State official from hiring another’s relative in exchange for a similar favor. . . . The Democrats stole the show with a short one-act playlet yesterday. Rep. Hugh Dillint got the floor, started out speaking about nothing in particular and his Democratic col leagues began popping up all over the place and asking him ques-

Alvost Persuaded

Rep. George Henley, the Republicans’ ace orator, was explaining his vote on the Institutions Bill.

“When the roll is called up yonder” (and his smooth tones attained a fervent pitch), “I want it known that I voted for this great thing. “Deep .down in your hearts you, too, want that honor—” and he pointed to several Democrats individually. With the House entranced, Rep. Henley said softly, “Mr. Speaker, I vote aye.” The reading clerk broke the spell by calling the name of a Democrat to whom Mr, Henley had pointed. “Aye, ” said the Democrat. “Mr. Speaker!” he shouted, and his face was crimson, “I meant no!” Rep. Henley murmured something about “almost,” as laughter shook the House.
