GCUR TRANSFER DELAYED AGAIN

Details Clouded, Committee - Holds It in House for Revision.

Several details of the G. O. P. plan to transfer the duties of the Governor's Commission on Unemployment Relief to the State Welfare Department still remain clouded. The transfer was embodied in the “ripper” measure to revise the Welfare Department setup which passed the Senate several days ago. However, a House committee ' yesterday decided there is quite a little work to be done on the bill.

Certifies . Workers

THe GCUR has been handling the certification of WPA workers and the “distribution of surplus commodities. An appropriation of $3,000,000 was made eight yedrs ago and a continuing appropriation of several thousand dollars annually has been paying for the commission’s operation. The House committee is not sure that it can transfer the GCUR funds to the Welfare Department— or if it wants to. Rep. Frank Millis (R. Campbellsburg), majority floor leader, said he thought the money was supposed to go into the general, fund.

Held for Investigation

Virgil Sheppard, division director of the Welfare Department, said his organization could not take on the additional duties without additional funds, but he had made no estimate of how much would be required. The bill, delayed once before, was held up again for further investigation by the committee.

Legislators Call Teckemeyer

To Solve Financial Riddles

JUST LIKE MOST other people, legislators have a tough time trying to understand about state finances. Just like most other people, they have to get someone to explain it to them. Ross Teckemeyer is the: fellow who does this explaining to both Houses of the Republican-con-trolled legislature. Mr. Teckemeyer, now Deputy State Auditor, is a fellow who quit Manual High School after his sophomore year because he had to study such things as History and English in addition to his favered mathematics. Connected directly with sta financial problems since 1923, is regarded by members of his. party as a sort of oracle on the subject. »

WHEN ThE SENATE Finanee |

Committee hits a snag in one of the bills before it, they :call for “Ross.” 2 When the House Ways and Means Committee wants some facts on the state’s financial con‘dition, they call for Ross. (He appeared before the House group in its first meeting ‘on. the state budget even before the State Budget Committee, headed by Anderson Ketchum, a Democrat.) Consequently most of the success. or failure of the financial aspects of the G.O.P. program rests on" Mr. Teckemeyer’s shoulders, just as the success or failure of the decentralization program rests on the shoulders of the seven lawyers who drafted it. After he quit high school in disgust at the age of 17, Mr. Teckemeyer went to work for a local bakery. He then took a job with a dredging company in Michigan and learned to run a hoisting engine. He lost part of his left leg in an accident ofie’ day and as a result decided that he'd “better get back into a -more civilized business.”

In. 1923, after spending two yedrs in the auditing department of ‘Indianapolis Railways, he became jield examiner for the State Board of Accounts. He held that position until last December when he was appointed Deputy State Auditor by Richard T James, State Auditor During his 17 years with the Board of Accounts, Mr Teckemeyer helped install many of the accounting systems now used in several State departments, The Board of Accounts, along with | professional baseball, was hik hobby He authored the State Sinking Fund law in 1932 and rewrote it in 1935 and 1937 to conform to newly passed Federal regulations So naturally the Republican legislators feel they are getting some one who knows what he is talking about Jen they “call for Ross.”
