This endment would leave At up to local officials at budget-draw-ing time to determine Zhether the tax levies should be made. Dr. owes said the bill would “give the school city and the civil city adequate services for the grants received and that it will widen the entire of musical appreciation and education and place the Indianapolis| Symphony orchestra on a sound financial focuing for “Yne future.”

Reps.

BY EARL RICHERT

LEADERS IN BOTH parties are seriously considering taking some action during this session about the salaries of state officials they

consider too low.

With both parties in control, the Republicans of the legislature and the Democrats of the executive department of state government, this is the time, they feel, to make salary adjustments. They could do

it by agreement, thus keeping it from becoming a possible campaign issue. With the Republicans confident of winning the governor’s -office next year, most of them are quite agreeable to the raising of the governor's salary. ; The state chamber of commerce already has suggested on its own volition that the governor's salary be raised from $8000 to $12,000 a year, thus making the chief executive’s total ¥ annual income, $20,000. He receives $8000 for the maintenance of the mansion. He has to pay federal income tax on both his salary and maintenance of the mansion. There are a number of Republicans who believe that the gov‘ernor should be paid $25,000 annually and eliminate altogether the mansion upkeep appropria- | tion. . : o ”n E

Think $5000 Too Low

THE SALARY of the state superintendent of public instruction, $5000 annually, is another one which members of both parties think to be too low. That is less than® most high

school superintendents make and, as was pointed out in the hearings on the I. H. S. A. A. hill, is $2500 less than Arthur 1. Trester, state "basketball “tsar,” draws. The secretary of state is another whose salary is out of line with other state officials. He draws only $6500 annually, while the state-auditor and state treasurer draw $7500. The secretary of state’s salary . would raised $1000, under the plan being considered. A bill already has been introduced to raise the salaries of the ‘three tax board members from $4500 to $6000 annually, the same as the public service commission and alcoholic beverage commission members_draw. And similar action may be taken

way commission members from $5200 to $6000. The federal ingome tax is the chief thing spurring most of these salary increase. proposals. The present, crop of state officials is having to pay federal income taxes on salaries set many years ago, long before anyone had any _idea they would have to pay federal’ income taxes on them. And they don’t think it’s fair. Of course, under the constitu-tion,-any salary increases granted could not go into effect during the terms of the incumbents.

- Absentees Get Pay

PERSONAL NOTES—State Senator Albert Beveridge (R, Indianapolis), a corporal in the U. S. army, who could not get excused to attend the legislative session, -is drawing the regular $70 a week pay 'for - legislators. All absent members are excused each day by the senate, thus eamtitling them to the day’s pay of $10, ... John Conley, chief accountant of the public service commission, reportedly is planning to resign soon.

SEEKS Wo UNITED NATIONS CGOUNGILS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1 (U. P.)— Walter Nash, New Zealand minister to the United States, is urging the immediate creation of a united nations war council with at least the four great powers—the United States, Great Britain, the Soviet Union and China—sitting on an inner council directing strategy. He also wants a second united

nations council of all nations to start work at once on plans for putting the four freedoms and the Atlantic charter into operation after the war. ’ His recommendations were made yesterday in a speech to the American Political Science association.

Dropping in on

A group of the stars here for the benefit show toured Allison’s Saturday noon with. company officials

and gave a short program for the war workers. Shown in the first row are Governor Schricker, a Powers model, and Stuart Erwin and June Collyer.

8000 Watch Stars Perform at Tabernacle

They really packed ‘em in at Cadle tabernacle Saturday night. It was a good show and a good cause, Despite gas and tire rationing, crowded streetcars and bad weather, over 8000 people saw radio and screen stars perform for the benefit of the infantile paralysis campaign. The Indianapolis show boasted the largest number of performers of any city in the country, including a halfhour radio broadcast, and after

,|three hours of entertainment the

record crowd still asked for more. Master of ceremonies: was Joe Kelley, radio quiz master of the Quiz Kids, and the cast included Stuart Erwin and his wife, June Collyer; the Hoosier Hot Shots, Lieut. Comm. Eddie Peabody, three former Broadway. stars from Camp Atterbury, three powers models,

Governor Schricker and most of the members of the National Barn Dance radio program. Indianapolis’ Frank Parrish, accompanied by Harry Bason, filled in

for Singin’ Sam, who was unable to appear because of illness.

Following the show, Governor

Schricker, executives of the Marion.

county chapter of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, and some of the performers made a tour of other benefit dances and parties around town where standing room only and capacity crowds prevailed, More than 65 local organizations helped sell fickets for the Cadle tabernacle event, and local defense plants came through with more than their share of sales.

Although the Saturday night show was the high spot of the cam-

|paign for this year, the drive for

funds is continuing, chapter officials said today.- Several benefit parties and events will be held this month to help swell the total proceeds. Cold and unpleasant weather has forced the Wishing Wells to. be closed, but contributions may be mailed to the chapter's offices, Room 605, 129 E, Market st.
