™ FOR MERIT, LEE DECLARES

Position Misunderstood by Some Persons, Trustee Head Says.

“It ought to be clearly understood,” said Wallace O. Lee, president of the board of trustees of Central State hospital today, “that I have always been for the merit system in Indiana and I am now.” Mr. Lee said that some persons had misunderstood his position following an article in The Times. “While the article didn’t say I was against merit, some people read that inference into it. The statement that I read a report at the meeting of superintendents was correct. But it ought to be made clear that I did not draw up the report and that I was simply reading it.” He said it’ was his belief that the) Superintendents were doing as good a job as they could, that they were vitally concerned about personnel problems and that they were trying to work with the personnel board. “My own position is clear” he said. “I'm trying to do a job for the state of Indiana—and I'm for merit. hi

DECATUR MAY GET HARDING ST. PLANT

The bill to restore the Harding st. plant of the Indianapolis Power & Light Co. to: Decatur township probably will be recommended to the house for passage, members of the house judiciary B eommittee indicated today. The committee was expected to withhold action on the measure until it\can be determined that the question ‘of the 10-year-old PerryDecatur township dispute over the power plant property would be the only thing affected by the bill. Under the proposal, former boundary lines between Perry and De-

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28 (U. PJ). — The Women’s Reserve of the Marine Corps, for which plans have been under way for months, will be created next month without any specific legislation. Capt. James A. Saunders, liaison officer on the senate naval affairs committee, said yesterday that no further legislation is necessary because. the Marines are part of the navy, and the navy already has authority to create a women’s reserve.

Women's Marine Reserve Outfits to Radiate ‘Oomph’

Heading the women’s Marine reserve will be Mrs. Thomas W. Streeter, Morristown, N. J., lawyer. She said the girl Marines will have uniforms with more “oomph” than the natty mainbocher creation” for the WAVES; they may possibly be patterned after the striking red and blue dress uniforms of the Marines. It is understood the girls reserve will be this year’s valentine to the leathernecks, the official announcement being planned for the eve of Feb. 14.

Seek Offices for

Juvenile Agencies

Steps were taken by county commissioners today to get possession of the county-owned orphans’ home building in E. 25th st. for use as a juvenile detention home and to house other juvenile court agencies. The buildings have been "leased to the national youth administration as training quarters for Negro youths. Commissioners turned over the lease to Victor Jose Jr. county attorney, to determine if it can be cancelled for immediate possession. Judge Mark W. Rhoads of juvenile court proposed to the county council earlier this week that the orphans’ home buildings be repossessed and remodeled for a detention home. The present detention home in E. New York st, has been con-

demned as 2 fire hazard.

GITY TOWNSHIP

Paul Teegarden, Washington township assessor, circularized Re-

publican members of the house today, urging defeat of the measure which would place the entire city of Indianapolis in a city township and warning ‘that passage would take away the jobs of 52 Republican appointees. The bill already has been approved by the affairs of Indianapolis committee and is on its way

through the legislative mill. Three reasons why the measure should be defeated, Mr. Teegarden’s cireular said, were the cost of making changes in county plat books, the additional personnel cost to Center township, where township deputies receive $2 a day more than in the other townships affected, and the loss of 52 appointees, “Washington township would lose four all-time deputies and 34 assessing deputies, all of whom are either precinct committeemen or vice committeemen,” the statement said. “Warren township would lose two all-time deputies and 12 assessing deputies. These two townships are now Republican. If the change is made, all of these deputyships will be made Democratic appointments and Center township could pay the Democratic deputies $6 per day.

today recommended passage of a bil which would permit public school pupils to attend week day religious schools up to two hours a week without loss of credit. The bill was introduced by Rep.

Mr. Dickerman said that a recent survey in Indianapolis showed that 800 pupils in two of the city schools had never received any form -of religious education.
