WELFARE POST

Personnel Board Refuses “To Open Merit List for - County Job.

The state personnel board has

turned down the Marion county wel-|

fare board’s request that the list of merit eligibles be reopened to new

applicants for appointment as coun-|

ty welfare director. Several welfare board members last week sought to reopen the list so that additional applicants could take examinations for the post left vacant recently by the resignation of Thomas L. Neal. Leonard Johnson, state personnel director, informed the board yesterday that under the regulations he could “see no reason why the list should be reopened for another examination.”

Eligibles Limited

This confined the board's selec-

tions of a new director to the list of eligibles submitted to the board last August. The top three applicants who must be considered by the board first in selection of a director are Dudley A. Smith, 4838 N. Illinois st., now director of the state sal-. vage campaign; Wade T. Searles, 8452 Carrollton ave., and Arthur W. Potts, 3035 N. Ritter ave.

Board members voted to call all

three men in for interviews Thursday dfternoon but announced .that fo recommendations for appiintment will be made this week. Chester McKamey, board member, insisted that no candidate for director be nominated until it, is

determined if the legislature in-

tends to change the welfare laws. Under ‘a special 1937 act, the power to appoint the director was

Today's War Moves

By LOUIS F. KEEMLE United Press War Analyst In lifting the 16% months’ siege of Leningrad, the

Russians have provided a convincing demonstration of their striking power.

The Russians

reduced Schlusselburg, probably the

most strongly fortified position in Russia, by an overwhelming mass artillery attack, followed up by infantry in an impressive demonstration of military

timing. Two of the Red army’s best generals, Marshals Grigory K. Zhukov and Klementi Voroshilov, directed the operation.

The Germans thus have lost the northern anchor of their line which

County Chairman Henry right to name the district ¢hairman who at present is Joseph J. Daniels.

Same As Other Counties

the bill's author, said that this would make the system of selecting the district chairmen the same in these two counties as in the other counties in the state where the district chairmen are elected by the county chairmen. At present, the district chairmen are elected in Lake and Marion counties by the precinct committeemen. This system resulted from the fact that both counties comprise congressional districts.

Eliminate Confusion

The bill also provides that the county chairmen be elected on’ the second Saturday following the primary election instead of the first Saturday as at present. This, is to eliminate the confused situation as to party control which often results when a primary election is close and the final count is not known at the time of the county

THE “DRY” FORCES HAVE DECIDED to pit their wei:ht hind a township local option bill during the preient iegislati’e sion, according to L. E. York, superintendent of the Anti-Saloon | They feel that this type of local option meas re wll have - chance of winning legiglative approval than woull one provic ng

county option. “Wet” leaders had been ex- ; the “drys” to back town-

ship option.. They say that the

“dry” strategy is to win township option this time, two years from now win county option and then put through state-wide prohibition. “Wet” leaders admit they expect a tough fight on the matter on the legislative floors. : And they aren't: predicting victory, either. It is reported that the “drys” have been trying to find a prominent Republican legislator to introduce the local option bill and that up-to-date they .have found none. However, a bill will be introudced when the “dry” strategy committee is ready. The history of local option in

Indians .is interesting. In 1908,

a county option law was passed and by 1910, 70 of the 92 counties were “dry. ”» The “wets” succeeded in getting the law changed in 1911 to provide for city, town and township local option and by the time state-wide prohibition came there were only 33 “bone dry” counties in the state.

THE TWO top G. O. P. leaders in the state senate, Lieut. Gov. Charles Dawson and President Pro Ten Thurman Biddinger, say they intend to keep “thumbs down” on patronage legislation.

members of the state welfare board agreed to co-operate with the local board in making the new appointment, and asked the board to nominate a candidate. However, several board members said they would rather wait on new legislation to see if they get full appointive powers before deciding on a choice of director.

A bill to abolish the state clem-

The measure would give the boards of trustees of- the institutions the power to set up their own parole and pardon boards, which would have final authority in the matters.

ASKS INQUIRY INTO STATE POLICE BASIS

Charging that the law requiring state police personnel to be maintained on a 50-50 basis is not being complied with, Senator Samuel E. Johnson (R. Anderson) today introduced a resolution in the state senate asking that a commission be appointed to investigate the matter. The commission, to be composed of three members appointed by the speaker of the house and two appointed by the president of the senate, would be required to report its findings back to the general assembly before Feb. 1. The resolution was sent to the judiciary A committee for consideration. Senator Johnson also introduced # bill which would lower the age of persons under the juvenile court's

maximum work week in the first year with a decrease to 40 hours after the second. The measure, which would take effect four months after its enactment, provides for time and a half for all overtime in excess of the maximum hours.

Excludes Farm Workers

It specificially excludes all executives and professional men, agricultural workers and domestics from its provisions. The bill provides for the creation of a six-man “wage board” by the commissioner of labor, to consist of two members representing the public, one of whom is to serve as chairman; two from industry and two from“labor. They are to receive a maximum of $10 a day for each meeting they attend or for each day actually spent in the work of the board, together with traveling and other necessary expenses. The act prescribes penalties for the violations of the wage and hour sections and for the discharge or discrimination against any employee because of the latter’s complaint to the board. : The employers who are convicted would face a fine of not less than $25 nor more than $500, or imprisonment for not less than 10 days nor more than 90 days or both. The measure would make each successive daily violation a separate of-

missioner to make an exception as fas as wages and hours are concerned in providing for the employment under special certificates of learners, apprentices at lower wages if approved by the state apprenticeship couneil and individuals “impaired by age of physical or mental deficiency or injury.” : The bill proposes the creation of a wage and hour division within the division of labor to administer the act. It specifically would prohibit “industrial homework” as a means of circumventing or evading the provisions of the measure, while it encourages collective bargaining by workers to attain wages in excess of the minimum or hours shorter than the maximum,
