TRIAL FOR FOOD STAMPS HINTED

Surplus Marketing Official Lauds Plan in Talk to State Grocers.

Possibility that the Federal food stamp-plan for distributing relief commodities might be given a limited trial in some Marion County townships was indicated today by Ralph S. Headley, assistant regional director of the Surplus Marketing Administration. Mr. Headley, whose office is in Milwaukee, spoke to members of the Indiana Retail Grocers and Meat Dealers Association who are closing the 11th annual! three-day convention at the Cloypool Hotel today. After explaining the mechanism the stamp plan and the procedure for its adoption, Mr. Headley told the grocers that a “local situation” in Marion County “bevound our control” has prevented the establishment of the stamp plan here. He said, however, that if, say, 80 per cent of the county on a relief distribution basis were in favor the plan, the Federal Governmight inaugurate the distribution plan in those townships favorable to its adoption.”

Negotiate for Months

Negotiations between Marion County township trustees and representatives of the Surplus Market- | ing Administration have been car-| ried on for many months. William Book, executive vice president of the] Indianapolis Chamber of Comrecently charged at a hearing in Washington that “local politics” was preventing the establishment of the stamp plan in Marion County Mr. Headley said during informal discussion following his talk that he believed Indianapolis and Milwaukee are the only two cities of more than 50,000 population in the country which are not distributing relief groceries under a stamp-plan.

DAYLIGHT TIME VOTE DELAYED

Council Agrees to Postpone Action Until State Publishes Laws.

Promulgation of the 1941 General Assembly Acts, expected sometime this month, will release the proposed Daylight Saving Time ordinance from its state of suspended animation, City Councilmen agreed last night. Not until the acts are published will the Council act on the proposal, in accordance with an opinion issued by City Corporation Counsel Edward H. Knight. Mr. Knight said any Council action before the enabling legislation takes effect would make the ordinance liable to constitutional attack if it were passed. This issue, pending for the past month in the Council, was settled last night by a trial of strength between majority and minority factions. Majority party Democrats wanted to postpone action on the measure. Minority party Republicans wanted to act immediately. The majority won, There was no action. Pinball Law Delayed

Introduced two weeks ago, the Pinball ordinance designed to protect the enterprise of “local” pinball operators and distributors from the encroachment of “out-of-town” competition hit a snag last night. Another group of pinball operators appeared to opbose it. Presented to the Council by William Miller, attorney, the proposed ordinance would license about 2000 machines operated by the “local” interests. All other machines would be strictly illegal. “That ordinance would be unconstitutional,” declared Miss Jgssie Levy, attorney for the remonstrators. “Besides, the pinball distributors which I represent are local, too.” Argument Date Set

Acting-Council President Albert O. Deluse set arguments for next meeting, May 19. Council approved without question the expenditure of a $250,000 bond issue for the improvement of City Hospital. A sharp verbal clash came when Mr. Deluse suggested postponement of a proposal that the City enter into a collective bargaining agreement with Sanitation Plant Workers. “We've been stalling on this ordinance,” Councilman Harmon A. Campbell, Republican, said. “Everyone on this Council is for raising wages and shortening hours down there. Why don’t we do it now?” In reply, Mr. Deluse read an opinion from Mr. Knight, holding that the City has no authority to enter into collective bargaining agreements with unions. Presented to the Council were the Cafeteria Court ordinance which creates a new Traffic Violation Bureau and the Safety Board proposal for the creation of the Police Department horse patrol. The Cafeteria Court measure will be considered by the Council as a committee of the whole. It would enable motorists who plead guilty to minor violations of the City traffic code to pay fixed fines within

48 hours after being arrested.

HEARING DUE MAY 13 IN ICED BEER SUIT

Hearing on ‘the injunction suit attacking the “no iced beer” provision of the 1941 Stout Liquor Law has been set for May 13 in Superior Court 2. The suit was brought last week by 21 druggists who charged the provision prohibiting stores doing package trade in alcoholic beverages from selling cold beer was discriminatory and unconstitutional. Superior Court Judge Herbert M. Spencer issued a temporary restraining order against enforcement

COUNCIL PASSES ANTI-NOISE LAW

But It Looks Like More Noise Than Ever if You

Know Way Around.

The City Council passed the antinoise ordinance last night. It is now possible to make more noise than ever before, if you know your

way around the new law. During the hub-bub of last night's Council meeting, the City Fathers were unable to get together ear to ear on all the noises the original ordinance banned. So| they amended the law in so many | places, that more noises are permitted than prohibited. If you are in the mood, you may make or cause to be made the following assortment of noises which the Councilmen took out of the ordinance: 1. You may keep any animal or bird “which by causing frequent or long-continued noise shall disturb the comfort and repose of any person in the vicinity.” 2. You may make a loud and excessive noise “in connection with the loading or unloading of any vehicle or the opening and destruction of *bales, boxes, crates and containers.” 3. “Peddlers, hawkers and vendors may shout and cry their wares and disturb the quiet and peace of the neighborhood.” 4, If you have a drum, bring it with you to a public place and beat it. 5. If you want to attract attention with a loud speaker, “Creating noise for the benefit of any performance, show, sale or display” which you are interested in promoting, go ahead. 6. If you get a police permit, which always has been required, you may use a mechanical loud speaker or amplifier on a truck or other moving vehicle. On the other hand, watch your step. The ordinance has a few teeth left. Under penalty of $25 fine, you cannot: 1. Play your radio or phonograph between the hours of 11 p. m. and 7 a. m. if it annoys the people next door. 2. Run your car on the streets of Indianapolis if it rattles. Or, if it has an exhaust noise. If your car “creates unnecessary grating, grinding, rattling or other noise,” keep it at home. 3. Blow your horn, unless it's an emergency. The Councilmen approved the ordinance unanimously, after making the amendments to suit the particular pet noise aversions of individual Councilmen. Councilman Ernest C. Ropkey said he didn't like radios played late at night. That's taboo. Several others said they didn't like to hear old cars rattling by their windows of an evening. That's taboo. Only Councilman Harmon A, Campbell, Republican, didn't get his noise prohibited. He said he didn’t like barking dogs. He'll have to put up with it,
