Breaks Down Expenditures to Guide Legislature in Making Cuts. Operation of Indiana’s state government cost every

man, woman and child in the state an average of $45.70 each during the fiscal year ending June 30, State Auditor

Richard T. James’ annual fiscal report showed today.

Total expenses of all branches of government, including state universities, prisons and hospitals, for the last fiscal

year was $160,700,000, Mr. James reported.

This is $15,000,000 more than was spent during the

previous fiscal year. For the first time in the state’s history, Mr. James broke down the auditor's annual report to show the total amount spént by all branches of the government for such items as telephone bills, traveling expenses and motor vehicle purchases.

The expenditures for such items as fuel, clothing and food were by state institutions for inmates.

The report showed that the high-|.

way commission last year spent over $25,600,000. More than $5,000,000 was for salaries and wages The salary total of $15,500,000 for all state employees dees not include $5,800,000 spent for wages, $43,300 for compensation awards and $315,600 for special payments. Total personal services for the state during the year amounted to $21,742,000. In commenting on the breakdown - of "various expenditures, Mr. James said by this method the legislature eould more easily determine ‘how and where” to trim expenses. } “During the war,” he said, “it is fmperative that the state govern- , ment spend less money. We must - have economy in order to make more money available to contribute to the war program. If our people are given some relief in paying taxes they will be in better shape to buy war bonds and stamps.” It is expected that the state finance board which last year cut the state tax rate from 15 to 14 cents will soon slash it another two cents as the state has a balance of more than $22,000,000.

CATHOLICS OPPOSE * WOMEN IN SERVICE

. 8T. LOUIS, Aug. 26 (U. P.).—The Catholic hierarchy of the United States, England and Canada does not favor the enlistment of Cathofic women in auxiliary corps of the army or navy, nor the employment of women with ‘small children in war industries, Bishop Christian H. Wichita, Kas., told the joint convention of the Catholic Central Verein of America and the Catholic Women’s Union last night. Bishop Winkelmahn protested war participation by women in which they donned uniforms and ‘said it seemed “to fit into a pattern and spirit of Communism and Nazi- . ism” instead of into a Christian concept of life. “War is a man’s job,” he asserted, #and we protest against the humiliating position of women in the ranks.”

IRKED BY NAMING

Hoosier Republicans Don’t Like His Serving as

‘Hat Passer.’

By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.—Hoosier Republicans are not too highly pleased at the recent appointment of Samuel B. Pettengill, one time Democratic congressman from South Bend, as chief hat-passer for the G. O. P., according to their “off the record” comment. The ex-Democrat was named by Rep. Joseph W. Martin Jr., national Republican chairman, to be chairman of the Republican national finance committee with headquarters in New York. “Why in the world do they have to go into Indiana and pick a Democrat?” one of the Republicans here inquired.

‘They Wanted Willkie +

“We picked Wendell L. Willkie and that would have been enough.” Nevertheless, his new assignment does give Mr. Pettengill ‘standing with his former Republican colleagues in the house. This was indicated when one of his newspaper columns appeared in the Congressibnal Record today under the sponsorship of Rep. Robert A. Grant, Republican, now representing the South Bend district. The Pettengill piece lambasts President Roosevelt's pre-Pearl Harbor record while supposedly making a plea to not bring such things up. Unable to follow the administration leadership, Rep. Pettingell “quit congress after serving three terms in the house from 1931 to 1939.

Assails FDR Policies

In the column inserted into the Record by Rep. Grant, Mr. Pettengill suggests that the president give one time Maj. Gen. Robert E. Wood, former head of “America First,” an assignment in the war effort as a “magnanimous gesture.” After criticizing selling scrap metal to Japan and a half dozen

other administration policies, Mr. Pettengill concludes: “The sooner all hands drop the before-Pearl Harbor argument, the better. To err is human; to forgive, patriotic.”

JACOB. GOODMAN'S ESTATE IS FILED

The will of Jacob Goodman, In dianapolis jeweler who died recently, left $1000 to each of the two daughters of his son, I. B. Goodman. The granddaughters are Miss Babette Goodman and Miss Jane Goodman. : The remainder of the estate, unestimated, was willed to his children. Morris Goodman, a son, was named executor of the estate. The will was filed yesterday in probate court.

WARNS SPAIN ON LABOR

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26 (U.P), —Eric A, Johnston, president of the United States Chamber of Commerce, told Spanish businessmen in a short-wave broadcast today that they would be committing “eco-

nomic suicide” if they allowed workers to be taken to Germany.

A red flag with 150 blue stars on a white field rose to the top of the flagpole and fluttered in the August breeze. On the ground 1500 etployees of the U., S. Rubber Co. who crowded around the flagpole in the shadows of their plant buildings on E. Georgia st. were dedicating their first 10

per cent to the war effort . . . the 150 stars stood for 10 per cent of their number in the armed forces of Uncle Sam.

But at the same ceremonies yes-

management inaugurated a drive for another and different 10 per cent . . a drive to get every employee to invest 10 per cent of his salary in war bonds.

Open 10 Per Cent Drive .

Last April the employees of the plant here became the first groups in. any of the U. S. Rubber Co. plants over the nation to have total participation in the payroll allotment plan of buying war bonds. The drive which got under way yesterday is- to urge each employee to invest 10 per cent of his weekly wages in war bonds. . . 100 per cent at 10 per cent. Both labor and management are behind the drive. The employees’ total investment in bonds now is approximately 4 per cent. On the same day as the cevemonies the U. S. Rubber Co. announced that it wolud manufacture the new “tire sandal” made of cotton pile fabric of a carpet like material. The sandal will fit over the

_| regular tire and the cotton pile will

be saturated with asphalt emulsion. Officials Attend Rally

The sandals will be woven by the Bigelow-Sanford mills, but the

“|emulsion will be applied to the

sandals here. The first of these tire savers will be ready for sale in a “few weeks” company offici say. The sandal will be sold to motorists who cannot buy tires and will be cheaper than a new tire but more expensive than a re-cap. It is estimated that there is approximately 3000 miles in one of the sandals if the motorists confines his speeds to less than 30 miles per hour. Army, navy, marine, and coast guard officers along with Governor Schricker and Mayor Sullivan took part in the service flag dedication and bond rally yesterday. _ Col. Bert M. Wampler, assistant commandant at Ft. Harrison, handed the service flag to two of

the company’s oldest employees in

terday afternoon the employees and:

Sewployess of the U. S. Rubber Co. here dedicate a service flag to their members who have joined the armed forces. with many years of service to the company and with sons in the armed forces raise the flag to the top of the pole.

Mr. Gorman, who has been with the company for 43 years, has three sons in the service. Garland and James are in the army infantry and Donald is at the air corps gunnery school at Las Vegas. Garland was on the platform with his father. Mr. Looney has one son George PF, in the army at Camp Cooke, Cal. Mr. Looney has been with U. S. Rubber for 31 years. Another young man, John C. Jones, was on the speakers’ platform and was also represented by one of the stars on the flag. He is a member of the coast guard and his ship has been under fire, he couldn’t say where or when. He worked at the plant for two years before entering the service.

WAR MAY CUT

Lack of Materials Likely To Reduce Expenditures,

=. Council Learns.

By NOBLE REED

War conditions in Indianapolis next year may result in an additional reduction of $10,000 to $20,000 in the city budget for 1943, it was revealed at the city council’s tax hearing last night. During the council’s diseussion of the works board’s $1,113,000 budget, Councilman Thomas F. Moynahan challenged the proposed personnel expenditures. He" asserted that curtailment of building materials by war priorities and shortages of labor would force elimination of many jobs, especially inspectors. Need Fewer Engineers

City Engineer M. G. Johnson agreed that his department may be able to operate with fewer men be‘cause of anticipated curtailments

| land the council instructed the board |

of works to make a survey immediately and report on the number of jobs that could be eliminated. Carl Dortch of the chamber of

‘Jcommerce government research bu-

reau said five to eight of the higher paying engineering jobs might be eliminated at a savings of as much as $20,000. The council trimmed a total of $3175 out of the works board budget last night and withheld final action pending the job survey.

Reduce Damage Fund

The council cut $1000 off the works board’s budget for paying

_|damages after Mr, Dortch pointed

out that the legal department has a $10,500 fund to pay indemnities. Another $1000 was lopped off the board’s proposed expenditures. for street department supplies on the basis that money for this could be transferred from state gasoline tax funds. The $53,000 municipal airport budget was trimmed $600 by eliminating proposed expenditures for materials and supplies. Councilman Walter E. Hemphill’s request for further reductions in the airport budget by eliminating some of the public services was defeated. Slash Garage Fund

War conditions caused the councilmen to cut $400 off the city garage budget for purchase of new equipment. Councilmen declared ‘that -priorities will prevent ‘purchase of any new equipment. Other $50 and $100 cuts were made in smaller items of the board’s budget. The council tonight will review the safety board's $2,900,000 budget which is $31,800 less than appropriations this year. Tomorrow night the council will start slashing into the health department’s $203,000 budget and the city hospital's $806,000 requests. These are up a total of $92,000 over this years appropriations.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26 (U.P.).— C. A. Willard, chief of the war production board: toiletries and -cos-

Such action, he said, was ‘“unpatriotic” and “contrary to the best interests of the war effort.” “We hope that in the future,” he said, “you will not again take it upon yourself to suggest that any group protect itself to the disadvantage of other groups.”

Local Defense

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26 (U.P.).— The ‘office of civilian defense today set forth an over-all plan for community participation in all war services, as well as in protective services in event of air raids or attacks. Entitled an “organization outline for local defense councils,” the new plan will set up a civilian war services executive committee in each local defense council, to co-ordinate war activities other than civilian protection. Working under this committee will be groups in charge of transportation, salvage, health, welfare, consumer. interests and housing programs. OCD Director James M. Landis
