that the measure would prove]

harmful to the -mayor’s -post-war construction program. ‘ One official, who preferred to remain anonymous, reported that a 15 million dollar post-war stream improvements program has been planned, but pointed out that lower flood control board pay would fail to attract engineers qualified to carry out the job. The bill, which passed the senate, 43 to 0, called for cancellation of the present flood board members’ salaries of $2400 a year and payment of members on a per diem basis.

$10 a Day Specified

. Under the measure, flood board members would receive $10 a day -for actual service rendered, not to exceed 100 days a year. + At present there are two members on the board. They are Arthur B. Henry, city engineer, and Tino J. ni, an appointee of the county commission and a carry-over Jdrom the last administration. One . yacancy, to be filled by Mayor Tyn--dall, still remains,

Harvey Cassidy, flood control engineer who receives $3900 a year, said $60,000 had been budgeted for flood control work in 1943. He added that almost that amount had been accumulated from the 1942 budget apprepriation, due to inactivity resulting from near cessation of WPA-sponsored projects.

se Details Not Announced

i. Details of Mayor Tyndall's post- - war flood control program were not announced and the mayor himself said he had no statement. The board previously had met on an average of once a week. . Senator Harry Chamberlin (R. Indianapolis), who introduced the salary cut bill, said city members of the legislative delegation had failed to protest the measure, affer he had deferred its introduction by 10 days. . ‘The measure is reportedly sponsored by the Indiana Taxpayers’ association.

SYMPHONY BILL STIRS DEBATE

House Members Pull Out All The Stops Before Passing Measure, 63-20.

By ROBERT BLOEM ‘Everything from simple tax arithmetic to the relative merits of 4longhair” music came up for discussion yesterday as the house opened all the stops on the legislative organ and ripped into the Indianapolis symphony bill, By the time the membership got around to voting 63 to 20 in favor of the bill, the debate had stretched into one of the longest and most involved “gab fests” in which the house has engaged on any measure so far this session. The bill would permit Indianapolis to levy a onecent tax for the support of the symphony orchestra. Mrs. Nelle B. Downey (R. Indianapolis), author of the bill, opened the debate with a hushed plea for “something constructive in these days when we have so much that is destructive.” Then the “defenders of the taxpayer,” all of them from outside Marion county, went to work. ' ' Challenges the ‘Longhairs’

“High grade music, like grand opera and these big symphonies are fine,” declared Rep. William Connors (R, Marion) “but the majority of the people don’t understand it. In normal times they are supported by the rich but now the burden is going to be thrown on the taxpayers. «I know most people don’t really like this high-toned stuff Because every time I bring one of those operatic pictures to my theater in Marion I lose about $700.” Continuing the theme started by. Rep. Connors, Rep. Jess Andrew (R. West Point) hurled a challenge at the “longhairs.” \ “If I can’t stage an old-time fiddlers’ contest and draw a bigger crowd than the Indianapolis symphony I'll eat my shirt,” he said. “What’s more, the old fiddlers will perform for a chaw of tobacco and won’t have to be supported by the taxpgpers.” > Supported by Henley Rep. George Henley (R. Bloomington), house majority floor leader, came to the aid of the symphony pill with the comment that the bill’s opponents had the wrong perspective on. the matter of high grade music. “I don’t know ‘F’ sharp from ‘A’ minor,” Rep. Henley admitted, “but I know that I can listen either to a bunch of old fiddlers or a ’‘symphony orchestra with a great deal of pleasure. | “Music is’ perhaps

the number

£ lone cultural instinct and the In-

dianapolis symphony has made Indianapolis one of the really great cities of the nation from a cultural

§ | standpoint.”

Mrs. Mabel Lowe (R. Indianapolis) contended that the fiddlers might “tickle your toes” but. that it takes “truly great music to reach your soul.” * Why Not Support Baseball At this point, Rep. Leotis Gregory (Rs Martinsville) interjected that in his opinion all the rest of the legislators had “missed the point.” “This isn't a cultural problem,” he said. “It’s a problem in arithmetic, ‘The real question before us is whether thousands of taxpayers should be asked to finance something that only a few hundred can appreciate or want.” } Even the question of baseball entered, the picture when Rep. Bert Mayhill (R. Delphi) asked why a similar bill couldn’t be introduced

to support the Indianapolis baseball club. »

gr Sanitary Facilities to : Suburban Areas.

The bill to permit Indianapolis to extend its sanitation facilities to suburban areas was passed without opposition in ‘the house today and

i |advanced to the senate.

Rep. Charles Ehlers’ (R. Indianapelis), author of the bill, pointed out that the measure was designed to care for sewage disposal in

i [Speedway and other sections out-

side the city. ‘Indianapolis has experienced a healthy growth in recent years,” Rep. Ehlers said, “and it is estimated that if this bill were passed the city could extend its sanitation

000 persons.”

Rep. Ehlers: said, sewage disposal has bécome a serious problem and many of those sections are unable to

tems. He pointed. out that with present, methods of ‘disposal, any flood. condition -which might arise would seriously jeapordize the safety of the water supply, both inside and outside ‘Indianapolis. The bill .is supported by the In-

| dianapolis Chamber of Commerce as

part of a long range metropolitan service ‘plan which presumably would lead eventually tothe city’s annexation of * suburban sections. “No greater Indianapolis” plan can work, Chamber of Commerce representatives said, unless the city first is prepared to offer its services to sections outside.

Says Normandie Can Be Salvaged

CASABLANCA, Jan. 29 (Delayed) (U. P.).—The capsized liner Normandie can be saved and “there’s no question about it,” Capt. W. A, Sullivan, navy salvage chief, said in an interview today. ¢ Sullivan, who was in charge of the Normasdie salvage job at New York until he flew here in November to direct salvage work in Casablanca harbor, said all plans for the Normandie job have been completed. “It's just a case of carrying them out,” he said. “How long it will take depends on how well they are carried out.” He said 15 to 20 wood and concrete bulkheads must be con- - structed inside the huge liner in order to obtain the proper stability when the attempt is made to right her by pumping dry some other flooded sections.

Avoid Later Controversy Over Bonuses.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17 (U.
