New Sclicdule Effective Jan. 1; Study Site for . S. Side School. ~~ By EARL RICHERT Among this city’s happier citizens today were 2000 of the 2200 teachers and principals in the public schools. For, beginning next Jan. 1, they ‘will get sa raises ranging from $10 to $20 a month under a new ‘salary schedule adopted unanimously by the school board last night “to i 1, meet higher living costs.” J This was just about what the school teachers had been asking for -—in some cases more than was expected. Howard Wood, president of the Indianapolis Public School Teachers, said he felt sure that “the ~ teachers of Indianapolis will appreciate very greatly what the

board has seen fit to do.” J. C. Harger of the Indianapolis

Teachers union told the board at]

the meeting that he appreciated its action. (Mr. Wood's group had asked for raises ranging from $100 to $200 a year while Mr. Harger’s had asked for raises ranging from $200 to $400.) No New Tax Seen

And, in announcing the increased salary schedule, the school board

even had good news for the taxpayers. The board members said, in a prepared statement, that they anticipated no increase in the tax _ levy for schools because of reductions in other budgetary items, the increased receipts from miscellaneous sources and the increased revenue to be received from a larger total assessed valuation of real estate in the city.

Raise Totals $325,000

The total cost of the pay raises].

will be approximately, $325,000. Board members said that they did not think the new federal “ceilings” © would affect the schedule. The new wage schedule will affect the teachers’ salaries for the last six months of the coming school year and it is expected, the board members said, that the schedule will be carried over into the folJowing school year. Salaries for the first four months of the coming school year will remain the same as at present, It is customary for the school board, because of budgetary problems, not to put pay raises into effect until the beginning of the caléndar year.

200 Not Affected

Only teachers who will not get pay raises under the new schedule are: Tnose whose rating is not " «good” or better; those over the age of 66 by Sept. 1; those without a bachelor of art’s degree who are earning now as much as $2200 annually and those with the bachelor of art's degree whose present salary is as much as $2650. Salaries of these teachers, numbering about 200, will remain the same as at present. . Teacners in the $1100 wage bracket, the lowest in the school system, will get the biggest raise on 8 percentage basis. They will be ‘paid, $1250 under the new schedule. Elementary school principals, high school vice principals, high school : department heads and assistant supervisors will receive raises in their base teaching salary as determined by the salary schedule. No change was made in the differential, running from $800 to $300 annually, which they are paid in addition to their regular teaching salary because of their position or responsibility.

Classed as Principals

- And teachers, now in charge of small schools who are rated as elementary school assistant principals, will be classified as principals next year and will receive a differential of $200 in addition to their base pay as teachers. The board last night did not touch on the matter of jahitors’ and ‘librarians’ salaries. That problem will be taken up next month, board members said, :

Study School Needs

The board instructed its building committee to proceed with plans to get the federal works agency to make a scientific study of school building needs in the city, particularly in respect to the proposed new South side high school; the need for school buildings near the naval ordnance plant and proposed federal defense housing project near W. 10th st. and, Tibbs ave., and the need for added facilities for school 68 at E. 21st st. and Riley ave. The board approved the following appointments: Obert B. Piety as . science teacher at Broad Ripple high school; Kenneth Stout, EngJish and science, school 49; Clara R. Kirk, accompanist, and Samuel E. ' Porter, shop department, at Crispus Attucks high school, and Mildred Carter and Bernice Striebel as junior clerks at Technical high school. v 2 Leaves Granted Leaves of absence were granted to W. Finley Wright and Gordon O. Johnson, teachers at Manual and Shortridge high schools respectively, to go into military and gov- . ernment service. The resignations of Dorothy S.

Abdon and M. J. McGuirk. teachers

at Tech, were accepted. “Mr. Harger presented a resolution to the board asking that the regulation prohibiting school employees from participating in political activities be dropped. He said that ‘the regulation conflicted with “con-

stitutional rights” and that it was that teachers Participate {the possibility that depmuaiies will

DEERY PLEADS FOR CHAMBERS

Probate Judge Is Fitted For Post, Says City Controller.

Probate Judge Smiley N. Chambers “is entitled to the serious and unprejudiced consideration of every Democratic voter,” City Controller James’ Deery said today in urging his renomination. “He is well fitted for the job as has been demonstrated by his record,” Mr. Deery said. “The government today, through its selective service act, is trying to have every man in the job for which he is most fitted. It seems that Judge Chambers is well fitted for the job he now holds.

Served in War 1

“In. 1917, Judge, Chambers volunteered in the U. S. army, served overseas and now belongs to the American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars. He is 51, and is beyond the age for active service in the army or navy. Younger men are discharging that obligation to their country today as Judge Chambers did in 1817-18... “He belongs to no factions in the party, has always been an active Democrat, working loyally and faithfully for the party. He received the indorsement of the Indianapolis Bar association by a 2 to 1 margin. He always has been high on the ticket—second or third on the Democratic ticket in every election in which he has run. He will receive the support this fall, if nominated, of thousands of independent voters.”

Brandt Assails ‘Slate’

Louis Brandt, works board prgsident and a supporter of Judge

Chambers, issued a statement today charging that the reported slate voted by Democratic ward chairment last Saturday “obviously is intended to prevent selection by a majority of the voters and to insure control by an organization.” He said the plan was “unfair to all other candidates and particu-

larly to the voters.”

By FREMONT POWER A proposal to ban naturalization of enemy aliens, which is still permitied despite the war, was expected to be puv before the American

Legion commission on Americanism here today.

Joe Starnes of Alabama, vice chairman of the Dies committee investigating un-American affairs, was to appear before the group this afternoon to report on subversive fronts in America. The Americanism commission is one of 32 holding meetings today preliminary to the two-day conference of the national executive committee which opens tomorrow. The convention liaison committee, headed: by Leo J. Duster of Iowa, will consider a recommendation to the national executives concerning a new site for the national convention. The Indianapolis convention and publicity bureau has put in a bid for it. The constitution and by-laws committee, headed by Harry Benoit, of Idaho, will continue its delibera~tions on whether the Legion should open its membership rolls to soldiers of the current war.

It's Boy at Home Of Robert Grant

Times Special WASHINGTON, April 20.—The reason Rep. Robert L. Grant (R. Ind.) did not attend the Indianapolis meeting of Republican leaders during the house recess recently was made clear today. He had been held here by the necessity of pursuing a Wilson policy of “watchful waiting.” Today his office announced that Rep. Grant is the father of a boy weighing 8 pounds and 12 ounces. This is the first child for Mr. and Mrs. Grant, who were married in 1933. Both mother and baby were reported doing very well at Georgetown hospital here.

LIGHT CO, SUES IN BOUNDARY DISPUTE

An injunction suit, based upon a 10-year-old dispute over the boundary line between Decatur and Perry townships, has been filed in circuit court by the Indianapolis Power & Light Co. The company has properties in part of Decatur township involved in the "dispute. In 1933, county commissioners ordered the boundary line between the townships changed. This put the light company properties in Perry township, but court action delayed the new boundary change. The case was finally adjudicated last month when the Indiana appellate court upheld the 1933 order of the commissioners. The light company’s suit stated that its property has continued fo be taxed in Decatur township and that, unless enjoined, county officials will place the property on tax duplicates of Perry township, thus making the company liable for taxes in both townships.

tional adjutant, said “there’s not much likelihood” of the convention coming here. “I don’t see how Indianapolis could house it,” he said. “We have had difficulty housing 200 committee members here this week.” | Mr. Samuel explained that a formal invitation, accompanied by a $27,050 deposit, from the Indiana department of the Legion would be necessary. And William E. Sayer, Indiana adjutant, said “I'm quite sure they will not” issue the invitation. Mr. Sayer said the. Indiana department already was facing a housing problem for the state convention, which will be held in mid-August. Report on New Members

180 AT HEARING

ON BUS CHANGE

Company Asks Permanent Approval of Illinois St.Westfield Line.

Eighty North side residents gath-

. fered in the house chamber at the

state house today to battle, in a friendly manner, over a change in the Illinois st. -Westneld blvd. feeder bus route. The hearing, presided ‘over by Harold Mull,-examiner for the public service commission, was on a petition by Indianapolis railways to make permanent the temporary change in the bus route which was allowed by the public service commission on a temporary basis on April 15. Claim 600 Benefited

The feeder bus line as it is now operating gives bus service to approximately 600 more people living in Rocky Ripple and the Kessler blvd, area, company officials said. The new route runs from 34th st. north on Illinois to 52d st., west on 52d to Westfield blvd. northeast on Westfield to Illinois, north on Illinois to’ Kessler, east on Kessler to Meridian, south on Meridian to , Westfield, southeast on Westfield to Illinois and south on Illinois to the junction with the 34th st. car line. The old feeder bus line ran north on Illinois from 34th to 46th st. west over 46th to Kenwood, north to 52d, west on 52d to Capitol and north on Capitol to the Westfield blvd., northeast on Westfield to Illinois and then back south on Illinois.

Favor Capitol Service Eighteen residents of the 5300 and ‘5400 blocks on Capitol, which are cut out of front-door service by the change, testified that they believed that the company should send the ‘busses back down Capitol ave. instead of Illinois st. or that the company should operate a few of its seven feeder busses over Capitol ave. Thirty-five residents of Rocky Ripple. and Kessler blvd. areas testified that the changed route was “of great service to them” and that they wanted the commission to make -the change permanent.

- Have Done Good Work, He Says.

Floyd R. Mannon, Indianapolis attorney and a former députy prosecutor, today indorsed Prose-

‘|cutor $erwood Blue for renomina-

tion on the Republican ticket. “Mr. Blue has been in office now for approximately 16 months,” he said. “During that time I have served in a number of instances in the capacity of special judge and judge pro tem in both criminal and municipal court. This judicial service, I feel, has. given me a rather unusual opportunity to observe his work particularly as reflected by the members of his staff with whom I have been thus brought in contact. In my opinion, the work of Mr. Blue and his staff has been of extremely high caliber.”

Ostrom Confident

Expressing confidence in his nomination as the mayor candidate.in the Republican primary next Tues‘day, Henry E. Ostrom told party workers at a series of meetings last

night that “there is no reason for bitterness in this campaign and there certainly is none in me. After all, we are all citizens of Indianapolis and we will still be living and working together even after the campa. is over.” He said that “the trend is definitely Republican and all the signs indicate a great Republican victory here next November.” Mr. Ostrom said that “we must not raise false hopes, we must keep our feet firmly on the ground and we likewise must be carefully alert to changing conditions of the day. There are many constructive things that can and should be done. My only promise is to all the people and I see no difference in a political promise and a business promise.” » 2 2

Ruckelshaus, John I. Kautz, Mrs. Felix Vonnegut, Thaddeus R. Baker, Wendell Sherk, Perry Meek, Ernest Baltzell and

others.

Sims Lauds Labor

Thomas A. Sims, Democratic congressional candidate, pledged that if elected he would “work and vote for legislation in which labor is interested” in a speech at 4946 W. 13th st. last night. “Labor is the foundation of our civilization and the basis upon which has been reared American freedom and democracy.” He pointed out that Rep. Louis Ludlow had voted with labor on 11, against on seven and did not vote on three measures in which labor was interested since the

last election.

Joseph M. Milner, former superior court judge and a candidate for the Republican nomination in room five, told meetings last night that “in

By VERN BOXELL A special committee of lawyers to investigate and collect evidence of irregularities or attempted :fraudulent voting in the May 5 primary was announced today by the Tyn-dall-for-mayor committee. Henry B. Krug is chairman of the group, composed of 100 volunteers who will be present at the various polling places and especially watchful in precincts where

election held in Indiana that comes under thei TI Kip federal laws,” Mr. Krug said. “In May, 1941, the U. S. supreme court held that where the office of representtaive in Congress is involved, where the state law has made the primary an integral part of the procedure of choice, there is no distinction between an election for the nomination of a candidate and an election for tne choice of an officer from among the persons so nominated.” Any evidence of unlawful practices \obtained by committee members will ‘be turned over to the U. 8. distrigt attorney here, Mr. Krug said. In past primaries, there have been reports of irregularities. Two years ago a number of contests were filed based on fraud charges. Four years ago, 92 members of precinct election boards were indicted, but were not tried due to a technicality.

Asks Co-Operation

“We feel that persons who might ‘otherwise be inclined to become careless in a primary election will not care to tangle with Uncle Sam as a result of wrongdoing in the

primary,” Mr, Krug said. “In the past, there have been reports of persons entering polling places and asking to be voted under instructions without making an affidavit that they were physicially unable to mark their ballots or could not read English. This is a direct violation of the law. : “We ask all good citizens to cooperate with election officials and with our committee in seeing that election laws are observed. We sincerely ‘hope that Marion county will have a clean and honest primary election.”

Markey Cites Record

Superior Judge Joseph T. Markey said in speeches last night that “my court records prove that I have been fearless, fair and just in the protection of the personal and. property rights of all citizens in controversies and all cases that were tried before me.” He pointed to his indorsement by the Indianapolis Bay association last week over his three opponents in the Democratic primary race in court one. Judge Markey said that in strikes recently involving a coal company and an oil firm, “I condemned the arbitrary use of force and violence in these labor disputes. In one of these cases, the employees who remained on duty were struck and beaten and severely injured, the property and trucks of the company were maliciously destroyed and the operation of the business was prevented. On several occasions, the strikers went to the homes after midnight of the executives of the company and engaged in gangster tactics by beating on the doors,

striking matches on the front porch and otherwise terrifying the families of these men. “I know the rank and file of organized labor are all peace loving and law abiding ‘citizens and
