7 Mass Firing of Thousands Deferred Until May 30; Action Follows Warning of ‘Chaos.’

_ Thousands of Democratic State payroll a few days longer than the

employees®will remain on the State Republicans had originally intended

under terms of a House bill approved yesterday by the Senate.

The measure amends the key G.

passed over the Governor's veto, to all State employees shall terminate The “big ripper” bill set the mass - firing date on May 1. Republican leaders sent the amending measure through after ‘Governor Schricker pointed out in his veto message that the May 1 - firing would leave the State in %chaos.” ' The “big ripper” bill provides that the G. O. P.-dominated State boards can meet only after three days notice has been given, and thus it would be May 4 before any of the commissions could meet to name 4 department heads. And then it ,', Would probably be a few days before the department heads could \ mame their personnel. Under terms of the amending neasure, the G. O. P.-dominated : jo0oards and the department heads ghey select have all of May to make Fithe change in personnel. And the yy’ Democratic officeholders thus get a '{ Jew more days of grace. “Senator Roger Phillips (D. New Albany), Senate minority leader, described the amending measure as a *bill for the relief of the ‘big wipper’.” * He asserted that ‘this shows just thow astute are the seven best legal ‘minds in Indiana.” He referred to the seven G.

5 Vetoed Bills Wait Action

. ‘= Two more Republican bills have been vetoed by Governor Henty

i one rejecting the Public Service Commission “ripper” bill ard other disapproving the voters’ registration measure. ‘ This brings to 15 the number of bills vetoed by the Governor on the round that all of them are unconstitutional. * Ten of the bills have been passed over the vetoes while the last five

rejected still are being withheld ‘from action on the floor, presumably because of the threatened re{volt of several G. O. P. Legislators ‘pgainst the Congressional ReapporJtionment bill. A- compromise on “yeéapportionment is being sought in thé Senate, <The Governor vetoed the Public /fServicee Commission bill on the ground that its provision, taking control of the Commission away _. rom his office and placing it under #& Republican-dominated board, is fnconstitutional.

Raises Two Points

‘The Governor said he vetoell the Voters’ registration measure on the ground that it is unconstitutional dn two respects. ‘One objection, the veto message stated, was a provision that would require the State Health Board and ~ County Health Boards to report all deaths to registration boards of all 92 counties, carrying heavy penalties of both fines and jail sentences for failure to comply. “I am very skeptical whether the Legislature really intended to have cfficers mulcted by fines or imprisonment for failure to do what, on closer inspection, must appear impossible for them to do,” the Governor said. He also stated that the extra work required of the health boards would cause heavy expense far beyond the present appropriations for their departments.

.. Claims “Infringement”

The Governor's second objection to the registration bill was the fact shat Circuit Court judges in the Jarger counties are empowered to appoint two - member registration boards, while at the same time, chairmen of the two political parties could request the judges to dismiss board members without

cause, He described this provision as un- . ponstitutional. The Governor declared the Public Service Commission bill unconstitutional on the same ground that .he gave in vetoing other “ripper” bills—that “the association of two elective officers with the Governor to discharge purely executive functions

Urges Parole

is a clear infringement of the Coiistitution.” The bill would create a new Public Service Commission of three memibers who would be appointed by a board consisting of the Lieutenant Governor, Treasurer of State, Republicans and the Governor. The veto message pointed out that the bill abolished the present Commission and re-enacted ‘ almost in detail the functions of the present Commission.

Claims Rights Denied

“The real and undisguised object of this bill is to use the machinery of abolishing the Commission: and creating a new one for the sole ptrpose of terminating ali appointments and placing the control of personnel of the new Commisison in a board so constituted as to deny the chief executive his constitutional prerogative of appointing to office,” the Governor stated. ! The message stated that the Legislature, in passing the bill is attempting to remove executive officers of the Government if violatio: of the Constitution. . Seven more bills were signed by the Governor, bringing to 65 the number approved since the session opened. The bills signed will: 1. Provides registration and licensing of school busses and exemption of owners from an additional license fee for its operation.

Amends Court Laws

2. Amend 1939 magistrate’s courts law to exempt counties of population less than 40,000. 3. Provide that watchers at elec tions may enter polls 30 minutes before opening to Inspect machines or ballots and remain there all day. 4. Increase salary maximum for Vigo County’s clerk for probate commissioner by $5 to $35 a week. 5. Empowers State Barber Board to fix hours and prices for shops throughout the State. i 6. Remove the 1 p. m. to 6 p. m, restriction on Sunday baseball games, permitting night games on Sunday. 7. Includes credit unions in list of institutions required to publish state ments of financial condition,

NEW VITAMIN BREAD BEING BAKED HERE

: Production of vitamin-enriched - bread was started here yesterday “by the General Baking Co. (Bond Bakers), at its plant, 318 W. Ver- {\ mont St. Delivery of the new bread, fortifled with the addition of B-1 and other health-giving vitamins and minerals, was started today by the company’s door - to - door delivery system, at no rise in price to the consumer. In announcing start of the service, I. N. Cooper, manager of the local plant, said company officials felt that they are “doing our bit in co-op-erating with the government in its national defense program by baking a bread rich in the vitamins and minerals that have proved of inestimable value in keeping a nation strong and healthy.” Similar bread was being baked and delivered by General Baking Co. plants in 41 other cities.

2 FROM HERE GO TO ~ ARMORED DIVISION

f'wo Indianapolis youths were among the 35 Hoosier selectees to be assigned this week to the Army’s new first Armored Division, now being expanded at Ft. Knox, Ky. They are Harry Noey, 218 Shan- , cock St, and Robert A. Mueller, . 4518 Carrollton Ave. Assignment to the armored unit is made on basis of technical training. More than BODO trainees have heen assigned to the Pirst Armored Division since oe Service system got under

le supervision system “would be a decided step backward since no satisfactory method of releasing prisoners is possible except by parole implemented by careful, intelligent supervision.” Two bills, one in the Senate and the other in the House, would remove parole supervision from the State Welfare Department, leaving no central system for checking on released prisoners. “Parole is like marriage,” Mt. Hennett said. “It has its failures, but that is no justification for abandonment of either.

“Principles adopted at the national parole conference represent the best thought on the subject of parole. One of these principles states that the paroled offender should be carefully supervised and promptly reimprisoned or otherwise disciplined if he does not denionstrate capacity ana willingness to

fulfill the obligation of a law-abid-

ing citizen.”

Other principles which Mr. Klin-|| ger said would be wiped out by the |

two bills provide that: “Supervision of the paroled offender should be exercised by qualified persons trained and experienced in the task

of guiding social readjustment,” and |

“the State should provide adequate financial support for a parole sysem.” Other national parole leaders also have expressed opposition to. the proposed changes in the Indiana system. They include T. F. Sullivan, acting superintendent of Illinois parole supervision; Edwin Gill, American Parole Association president; E. R. Cass, American Prison Association general secretary; Ralph E. Benson, Central States Probation and Parole Conference presicant; John C., Burkey, Wisconsin State Prison warden, and William IX. Mackey, Ohio Probation and Parole.

Hemphill Wants to Bring Relief to City From ‘Jangled Nerves.’

| Indianapolis will become a “site for sore ears” if City Council passes --gnd the police enforce—an ordi-

Councilman Walter A. Hemphill. | Dr. Hemphill’s ordinance, offered for the “relief of jangled nerves,” would ban “any unreasonably loud, disturbing and unnecessary noise

pr. any noise of such character, intensity and duration as to he detri-

individual.” Number one among the listed offenses would be the unnecessary nonking of auto horns.

Approve Fire Truck Cash

At the same time, Council passed the highly debated ordinance providing funds for the purchase of two 100-foot aerial ladder trucks for the Fire Department, and an ordinance

14 motorcycles for the Police Department. Also passed was an ordinance providing for a $118,677 bond issue to make up a 20-year deficit in Barrett Law bond interest. Consideration of an ordinance

the Sanitation Department was postponed until a special meeting March 12. Dr. Hemphill said he had the support of various individuals and civic organizations for his “antinoise” ordinance. with the help of the City Legal Department, after study of the New York City ordinance, together with the Philadelphia and Indiana regulations against noise.

Bans Loud Radios

As drawn, it would ban playing of radios and other musical instruments with such volume, particularly between 11 p. m. and 7 a. m. as to “annoy or disturb the quiet, comfort of repose of persons in any dwelling, hotel or other type of residence.” It would be illegal, to keep any noisy animal or bird, or drive any noisy auto, street car or other ve{hicle. Motors would have to be | properly muffled, and so would those - eardrum - shattering compressed air drills. Excessive noise in the vicinity of any school, court or hgspital would be illegal, as would the noisy shouting of peddlers anywhere, and the use of loud speakers to draw attention to displays. Loud speaker truck operators would have to obtain licenses. Councilmen Hemphill and Harnion A. Campbell voted against passage of the fire truck ordinance. The ordinance, at several previous meetings, drew fire because of charges that before the contract was awarded, the. American LaFrance Co., which won the contract, financed Safety Board committee's inspection trip to the plant.

Letter Presented

At last night's meeting, Councilman Ollie Bach presented a letter fiom the Peter Pirsch & Sons Co. a fire apparatus manufacturer, charging thate the specifications “were set up for a competitor.” ! Council overrode a protest of the Harley Davidson Motor Co. that specifications for bidding on the police motorcycles had barred the company's product by specifying {four-cylinder cycles. Police Chief {Michael F. Morrissey denied that two-cylinder cycles were barred by the specificaitons. He said the Safety Board considered the Harley Davidson bid but that he had recommended purchase of fourcylinder cycles. The Barrett Law bond interest deficit, which has been accumulating since. 1919, resulted, City Controller James E. Deery explained, because the law permits property owners to pay their Barrett Law assessments before maturity to save interest. This left the City “holding the bag” as it had to make up the interest due on the bonds.

Discuss Morris St. Parking

Two ordinances introduced would regulate parking on part of W. Morris St., and require the inclusion of special exits in new business buildings for use in case of fire, Another ordinance introduced would change the names of several streets. Cruft St, from Manker St. to fihelby St., would become Willow Drive; Kennington St. from Terrace Ave. to a point 397.6 feet south, and gn unnamed street from Lincoln #t. to 478.6 feet north, to become Alabama St. Alabama St. from Terrace Ave. to Lincoln to become Kennington St.; Kreber St. from Haughey St. to Sunset Blvd., to be designated as Berkley Road; Arthington Blvd. from 5%th to 38th to become Manor Court; Manor Court from 37th to 38th to be designated as Arthington Blvd.; Huron St. from Emerson Ave. to Whittier Place, to become Lexington Ave. and N. West St. from 15th to 17th | to become known as Brighton Blvd.

Draft . Has Little Effect On Opportunities of College Men.

By EARL HOFF

The college graduate of 1941 faces the best employment prospects in a decade despite the’ possibility that he may be called in the nation’s first peace-time draft of manpower. According to personnel directors in key Hoosier universities, this paradoxal condition exists because industry—expanding at a break-neck speed under the stimulus of defense needs—has no other alternative than to hire them. ] Employers feel that there is no substitute for college trained men, and the number that are safe from the draft is too small to meet the demand. Some employers are trying to find men who have high draft numbers. Others aren’t even inquiring whether the prospects have a number,

Some Disregard Risk

In some cases, employers are offering jobs to men who will receive R. O. T. C. comissions in June with the provision that they can start work as soon as they complete their military service. The indications are that small businesses are seeking men who will be less likely to be drafted while larger organizations better able to take the risk, are disregarding the military angle. “The placement prospects of graduating seniors are far better this year than any time since 1929,” John F. Mee, Indiana . University placement bureau head, said. “We are quite sure that we could place many more than will receive their degrees from us,” David L. Arm, acting personnel bureau head at Purdue University, said. “We are receiving more calls for our graduates than we can fill,” Louis H. Dirks, DePauw University dean of men and placement director, reported.

Seek Married Men

A large number of the employers who are contacting Butler University men are seeking those who have high draft numbers. Others ask for graduates who are married and have families, C. R. Maxam, Butler registrar and placement director, said. : Indicative of the position of nearly all technical schools, Mr. Arm says that a recent survey conducted by Dr. A. A. Potter, dean of the Purdue schools of engineering, indicates that the engineering schools of the U. 8S. “will not be graduating enough men this year even to begin to satisfy the great industrial demand.” : “We have already had representatives from approximately 90 of the leading industrial organizations of the country here to conduct interviews with interested seniors,” Mr. Arm said. “We have questioned all of these representatives regarding their companies’ policies toward men who have low draft numbers or who are candidates for reserve commissions through our -R. O. T. C.

Training May Defer Job

“Most of these representatives have assured us that they are making offers to our seniors without regard to the possibilities that some may be called into military service immediately upon graduation. “Most of these offers state that if such military service becomes necessary upon graduation, the starting date of the employment offered shall be at such a time when that military service has been completed. “Quite a number of these industrial representatives do not even ask applicants their draft order number,” Mr. Arm said. Reporting on Indiana University, Mr. Mee said the business firms who have definite training programs and who make a practice of recruiting college seniors for training are almost all still operating in this manner. “They are making a distinction in their selection between the graduating seniors who have high order numbers for selective military service and those who have low order numbers or hold reserve officers’ commissions,” he said.

Some Tentative Offers

“The former are being given offers for June or July. The latter are bheing given tentative offers for a year from now or when they leave military service.” The offers to men who are likely to be drafted soon are made because business firn\s “realize that the men who have completed a year of military service will be at a premium about 13 or 14 months from now because after they have completed their service they will be valuable for stabilizing the organization,” Mr. Mee pointed out. “It is probably true that certain small businesses are attempting to hire either college graduates below the draft age, men above the draft age or married men with dependants because the small business is relatively more heavily hit by the loss id a man than the large organizaon.

Going Right Ahead

“The larger organizations, however, are increasing the number of graduating seniors to whom they are giving offers in order to have a safety margin and, in addition, are farsighted enough to look ahead several years in their personnel planning,” Mr. Mee said. Dean Dirks of DePauw said he has found no employers of college graduates who are letting the draft interfere with their hiring policy. “Most employers who have visited the campus have told me they expect to go right ahead with their

| program of employing college gradu-

ates without regard to the likelihood of their being drafted later.”

Attorney General Says He May Throw Delaware ‘Wide: Open.’

WILMINGTON, Del, March 4 (U. P.) —Attorney General James R. Morford threatened today to throw Delaware “wide open” if its 200-year-old blue laws “cannot be enforced against all persons under all circumstances.”

He made the statement after the State House of Representatives yesterday adopted a resolution condemning him for enforcing the ancient statutes and labeled it an attempt to “coerce legislation.” The House last Thursday defeated by three votes an amendment which would have placed Sunday observance laws largely in the hands of local government.

260 Jam Courtroom

Mr. Morford retaliated Sunday with a complete “shut down” cam=paign in which State Troopers arrested more than 500 persons for such Sabbath activities as delivering milk, selling drugs and newspapers and, in one instance, shoveling snow. Confusion attending his enforcement was evident in Municipal Court yesterday when 260 defendants jammed the court room. The cases were continued until later this week, when defendants face fines of $4 to $8 or one night in jail.

Defendants Classified

Judge Henry R. Isaacs classified the defendants by occupation and set the following schedule of arraignment: Wednesday—T0 retail merchants. Thursday—45 milkmen and eight miscellaneous defendants. Friday—-72 news dealers, operators and hotelmen. Saturday—65 taxi drivers, trolley and bus operators and filling station proprietors. “If after a fair trial it is demon=strated that the laws cannot be enforced against all persons under all circumstances, I, as Attorney General, will take the position that they shall not be enforced against any person,” Mr. Morford said. “1f that happens, we will go from one extreme to the other, and the whole State will be wide open fo everything.” .

Lyman Hoover, Y.M.C.A. secretary in China for nine years, yes= terday told members of the Y.M.C.A. Men'’s Club that China ought to be able to halt Japan if her internal strength can be maintained. He spoke to 50 menibers of the organization on “Crucial Issues in the Far East” at a luncheon in the Central Y. “The determination of the Chinese to fight on is as high as ever and the Chinese Christians show remarkable spirit,” he said. Mr. Hoover said that the Y.M.C.A. had lost some associations in China through military occupation and bombardment, but that eight new ones had been opened.
