FARM BUREAU BILL AWAITED

‘Forces Split on Making ‘Emergency Law’

Permanent.

By WILLIAM R. CRABB

One of the bitterest floor fights of the legislature is expected: to follow the introduction by the Indiana Farm Bureau of a bill to make permanent the existence of the State Milk Control Board. Equally potent forces are anxious that the board expire June 30 under provisions of the “emergency law” passed by the 1941 legislature. The board has the power to “supervise and regulate the entire milk industry in this state,” including the price the milk wholesalers pay to the farmers.

. Provides Staggered Terms The farm bureau bill, which would set staggered terms for the various members of the board, is to be introduced in the house of representatives probably Monday when the lower chamber convenes at 2 p. m. after the week-end recess.

More than 50 speakers are being recruited to bring before Indian-

apolis clubs and organizations the

raising campaign for the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. Assisting with the plans are (left) Mrs. Bert C. McCammon, chairman of the speakers’ bureau; (center) Mrs. Wilson Patterson of the International Travel-Study clubs, and Mrs. Russell J Dean, a member of

the speakers’ bureau.

TIGHTEN COUNTY

New Council Starts Economy Era and May Adopt Merit System.

By NOBLE REED Getting extra ‘approp gineered through the network of checks and double checks set up by the newly elected county council is going to be tough sledding if. the council’s first actions are any criterion of future policy. New councilmen tipped off county department heads on what they can expect this week when they allowed

10th annual Marion county fund-

The senate will convene at 10 a. m, Monday. Anson Thomas, legislative director of the farm bureau, said his organization contends the continuance of the Milk Control board is necessary to “prevent chaos from the consumers’ standpoint.” Fears Effect on Consumers He said the distributors could well take the proposition that the sale of milk in large quantities to the

than sale by the quart to the consumer and the consumer would be left “in the cold.” The opponents of the milk control board regard this as unlikely, since, they believe, it would be contrary to the principle of the armed services to drain the products from the consumer, The bill was passed by the senate in 1941 with the understanding that the house would allow it to die. But the proponents were powerful|’ enough to revive it in the closing days of the session. Bitter debate

Opposition Is Powerful Its opponents at this session include some of the most powerful members of the Republican majority in both houses, while the farm bloc has been denied on few issues in recent sessions of the legislature. These G. 'O. P. members have been consolidating their forces in anticipation of the introduction of thé farm bureau bill. One high official said he believes the milk ‘control board should “be abolished because the “emergency

exists.”

MADE ON THE RUHR

LONDON, Jan. 9 (U. P.) —British bombers raided the German industrial Ruhr during the night for the fifth time since New Year eve, the air ministry reported today. Five planes were lost, an indication that the attacking force probably numbered 100 planes or more. Germany, reporting attacks on western and northern Germans, said the planes dropped explosive and incendiary bombs, damaging “residential quarters.” Berlin said “a number of the raiding planes were

In addition to raiding the Ruhr, British night planes laid mines in enemy waters.

BY EARL RICHERT

GOVERNOR SHRICKER'S proposal to abolish the state appellate court is meeting with little favorable response from the Republicans. Judge Wilbur Royse of Indianapolis, newly elected judge, sums up the attitude of most of the Republicans. the abolition of the six-man court and the addition of two or so members to the supreme court to handle the extra work would not result in

the desired speed-up in final determination of cases. He points out than an increase in membership of the supreme court would not necessarily speed up decisions since it would only mean that there would be more members who would have to study a case and say “yes” or “no.” The governor’s suggestion, of course, if enacted info law, would not affect the present G. O. P.controlled court since the legisla~ ture cannot abolish a court during its term. Such a law, if passed, would have to go into effect in January, 1947, when the terms of the four new members expire. The other two judgeships, which expire in 1945, would have to be made into two-year terms.

” ” 2

Sees Eventual End

THE GOVERNOR said that the abolition of the appellate court would streamline judicial procedure since there would be only one court of last resort, thus making appeals more direct and speedy and hastening the final determination of litigation. “I am confident,” said the governor, “that such judicial reform is a progressive step which would not only save money but would benefit litigants and meet with the approbation of the bar.” - Commenting later on the matter, the governor said he believed, if no action were taken at this session, the court would be abolished eventually, The six judges hold office for four-year terms and draw salaries of $10,000 annually. They each have secretaries. The court was created in the '80s when the supreme court docket was. congested. It had a huge amount of work during the prohibition era but now only has some 80 cases pending.

Humor In Text Books

THE FREE textbook situation is sort of humorous. ‘Both parties had free textbook planks ‘in their platforms and, striving to live up to their platforms, both have now introduced bills providing for the establishment of a free textbook system in the elementary grades. But a number of leaders in both parties are now cooling on the proposal, reasoning that there is no need for setting up a free textbook system in this time of prosperity. They are finding that there is very little pressure from any group on the matter and they are seeking an easy way out.

Local GOP Dissension OBSERVERS ARE expecting a flareup momentarily in the Marion county Republican ranks, so hot is the friction growing between the various elements. Some of the Tyndall supportérs who don’t like Charles Jewett, the mayor's campaign manager and assistant county chairman, think’ he is getting to fill too many of the “bottom” jobs—the jobs which are the very backbone of a politi cal organization. And members of the Bradford faction are contending that the wishes of the regular organization are being disregarded “in numerous instances” in city administration appointments. Everyone is calling everyone else names and it looks as if it won’t be long until some portion of the fight, at least, breaks into the open.. .

ABANDON HOPE FOR MEN IN W. VA. MINE

MORGANTOWN, W. Va, Jan. 9 (U. P.)~—The final death toll in West Virginia's latest coal mine disaster was fixed today at 13. Joseph Stewart, manager of the No. 15 mine of the Pursglove Coal Co., at Scott’s Run, near here, announced that “we have no hope at all” that any of the men still trapped by a fire in the mine would be found alive. Sixty-five men escaped the blaze. The bodies of four men have been removed from the mine—three last night and one yesterday morning. Nine others still were missing.

lon county commissioners that’ there

Parry, council president, has appointed two-man committees to investigate personally every item requested even if it amounts tp only $50. They're not taking commissioners’ word for any--thing if it involves spending money. “We're going to enforce some economy in county government if we have to spend all our times at the job,” said Mr. Parry. Another council edict that has the court house employees sweating is that unnecessary jobs must be eliminated and the wages being paid on them transferred to underpaid workers manning heavy jobs, o 2 8

Merit System Favored

The Republican administration’s: first week "in office at the court house disclosed widespread personnel . weaknesses which revived cliscussions favoring establishment of some form of merit system for the more specialized government work. * Operation of some departments was near collapse when newly appointed G. O. P. workers attempted to take over specialized work without previous training. Due to war-time manpower shortages, newly elected officials were unable to find enough qualified workers who were “deserving” Bepublicans to fill the jobs. As a result, Democratic Or were retained in every department to keep the operations going. Republican machine politicians protested keeping Democrats in the higher paid jobs, but the new officials contended they couldn't possibly operate the departments with inexperienced workers, some of whom never worked in any kind of a government office before. ® 8

Weight Perils Floor

The past week also saw the county commissioners “put on the spot” to get started right away on construction of a new court house annex to house tons of records, which, engineers say, may cause the collapse of the fourth floor. The commission on public records, created by the 1939 legislature to dispose of old county records, recommended that the commissioners ask the council to float a. bond issue at once to build a court house annex in which to store the surplus records, Councilmen said they wouldn't comment on the bond issue question until they had “investigated the matter fully.”

Grand Jury May Act At least four Indianapolis notary publics may face grand jury action next week for their alleged illegal handling of drivers’ license applics.tions. Prosecutor Sherwood Blue yesterday confiscated 17 applications for drivers’ licenses at the state motor license bureau office on the ground that they were illegal. Mr. Blue said “certain notary publics have been filling out applications in wholesale lots and getting licenses for their clients without showing proof that the applicants had paid their property and poll taxes.” The prosecutor said all the applications swore that the applicants had paid their taxes but a check revealed that none of them had tax receipts.

ASKS SERVICES CUT STANDARDS

McNutt Advances Proposal As Solution to Problem

of Manpower.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9 (U. P). —War Manpower - Chief Paul V. McNutt is seeking to standardize physical and educational qualifications of the armed forces, it was learned today. He was said to feel that it is “inevitable” the army, navy, marine corps and coast guard must adjust standards to permit. induction of men with lesser physical and educational attributes than they have demanded in the past. He believes the army could lower its physical standards to some degree and the navy, marine corps and coast guard—whose physical and mental requirements are higher —could lower theirs even mere, It was said McNutt’s demands are responsible in part for delay in completing a plan whereby selective service will fill all manpower needs of the armed services. Drafting of men for the sea-going forces was called for in President Roosevelt's manpower order of Dec. 5, but-the mandate is not expected to be put into effect before March 1 due to lack of a concrete plan.

Volunteers Fill Need

During the interim their needs will be filled through voluntary inductions. This means merely that volunteers go to their local draft boards to enlist rather than to enlistment offices. a McNutt visualizes a single induction station, representing all four services, which would work side-by-side with selective service boards. WMC sources said McNutt feels that all services must lower their physical qualifications. In general, they are much higher than those of any other nation now at war.

RED CROSS SERVIGES GET NEW QUARTERS

Red Cross volunteer services and educational departments next week will move into a chapter house at 1126 N. Meridian st. the property of G. Barrett Moxley and his family of Indianapolis. The two-story brick house, city landmark, has been loaned rentfree to the local Red Cross chapter, and W. I. Longsworth, chapter chairman, said it is ideally suited to Red Cross needs.

Departments which will be moved |

to the new: location are first aid, nutrition, home nursing and all volunteer services. Only minor alterations will be necessary Mr. Longsworth said. The house became the Moxley home in 1933. The property is the gift of Mr. Moxley; his daughter, Mrs. william A. Diven, and his sons, Barrett Scott and Daxid Moxley, in memory of the wife and mother, Mrs. Charlotte Scott Moxley.

BAS Sma

At City Hall—

9 By SHERLEY UHL ] It was all supposed to be as simple as. the inauguration. i The new sdministration sup-

“-|posed to mecve quietly and without

fanfare. At least that was Mayor Tyndall's hope. : But the young administration came into the city hall in the path of a political maelstrom, with the usually placid general in the midst

“lof a storm of controversy, praised bby some and damned by others.

It probably can be said that no Indianapolis administration in recent history began its municipal career with such a bang. Biggest dent in the administration's hopes for a peaceful debut was caused by arguments, legal and otherwise, over . appointmeni of Clifford Beeker as chief of police. But, to top things off, the: general’s own private desire—to inaugurate an inauspicious, matter-of-fact anti-gambling campaign — was blown higher than a kite when word that “the heat was on” got passed around. A general rush by the gambling gentry to temporarily screen their own enterprises ensued. This voluntary .curtailment, coupled with a series of police raids, made the move, which was supposed to have been gradual, seem like a major “crack-down.” #" ” n

‘Getting Job Done’

Last week Clifford Beeker was

figure which pitted the spirit of the merit law against political expediency, or what Mayor Tyndall likes to refer to as ‘getting the job done.” By virtue of his promotion from patrolman to lieutenant by the newly appointed police promotion board, Beeker became eligible for the chief’s job, 8. post for which he was approved by the new. safety board in a snappy session last Tuesday. Under previous procedure, Beeker would have had to qualify by attending a brief police school session and passing a merit examination. By changing its own rules, the promotion board qualified him on the basis of a test he had taken back in 1941. : Officials of the city legal department pointed out that Beeker's ad-

catapulted into the limelight as the,

.; vancement was “entirely within the

limits of the state merit law,” bu supporters of a strong merit system protested that the move “Violated the spirit of the provision.” = » f J

Shakeup Coming? =. | Now, with appointment of top

men already completed, six captaing and a couple of deputy inspectorg remaining over from the old Deme ocratic police regime have cause to

Boards Still Green 1

Various boards which actuaily die rect the city government once policy has been. determined, got off to & shaky, but busy, start. With mosé members green on the job, boards were stymied by minor details thag would have been sidestepped by more experienced administrators. ‘For instance, when Fire Chiet Harry Fulmer ordered several pieces of equipment and supplies, he was queried by the safety board on each. item. As a result, Chief Fulmer, who had expected to get away after a routine check of purchase orders as in the past, instead was required to sit in on the meeting for -& couple of hours. . When the discussion led to pose. sible purchase of new fire trucks, Will Remy, board president, recalled a former board which had been aCe cused of wining and dining at the expense of fire equipment come panies. The new board, after deciding te avoid public suspicion by passing up “equipment inspection junkets,” dee cided to turn the inspection job over to Chief Fulmer. The veteran conscientiously ree marked that it was pretty hard te avoid lunching occasionally with truck company officials, although he “didn’t like the idea.” The board members assured him they realized that he couldn't- consider contracts without a little fraternizing with salesmen and that such “lunching”® wouldn't be considered a compro.
