Assessors Ask ‘Council for $24,700 More to Pay
Deputies.
: By NOBLE REED ~The first in a series of long-|t awaited showdowns before the
>. county council over wage increases
will get under way Monday. "Nine township assessors will present to the council requests for additional appropriations totaling $34,700 for more pay to deputies. ~The increases sought are the same ones the assessors thought they were getting through the legislature in the form of law but examination of the bill revealed that it merely said the assessors could have the extra money if they could. talk the county . council into giving it to - them. . There's the rub. The newly elected council, under new policies invoked January 1, is not giving blanket approval of ap-
propriations just because a depart- ° ment head asks for it. :
~ May Prove Yardstick
Bo, the fate of the $24,700 requests may form the yardstick for future personnel control by the council which has been broadening Wg cov ‘powers over the purse strings and political patronage lately. ‘Also before the council Monday ‘will be an impressive item for $147,000 extra appropriations sought by the county commissioners whose contracts and expenditures for the past two years are: being investigated by the grand jury. It is safe to predict not one of the cost items comprising the $147,000 requests will get approval until every member of the council first investigates where every penny isi going and why. ” »
Another Reverse.
‘Court reverses against the police department's raiding methods were piled a little higher this week. Judge Ralph Hamill, of superior court; ruled that police illegally seized property in a raid on the Capitol City Publishing Co. last Feb. 24. He ordered the goods returned to the owners. . “No proof of any law violations wat of offered by the city so the only open was to sustain the fT petition to recover the property,” said Judge Hamill. . This decision came only a few days after Judge Earl R. Cox of circuit court held that the police raid on the J. L. MacDaniel Printing Co. was illegal on the ground “$hat the company’s mere possession and ‘manufacture of lottery equip- : ment comprised no law violation.
RAHKE MOTIONS ASK! GHARGES BE QUASHED

charged. - The motions to aoa, affidavits charging Rahke, wealthy operator of lottery equipment firms, and Charles (Buck) Sumner, former Marion county sheriff, with operating lotteries, attacked procedures in the raids made Feb. 19. Attorneys for Rahke and Sumner argued that the prosecutors. afidavits for the search. warrants “showed no cause for belief that the defendants unlawfully possessed gaming devices.” Judge W. D. Bain of criminal court took the motions under advisement.

DAVIS IS: GIVEN WIDE POWERS
Authority Undefined but Will Exceed Those Held By Wickard.
WASHINGTON, March 27 (U. P.). —Chester ©. Davis, the new food administrator, appeared today to have obtained powers denied Secre-
-|tary of Agriculture Claude R.
Wickard in dealing with food problems. Wickard failed; his friends sald, because he did not have sufficient power to. control farm . manpower, machinery and prices vital to maxi-
. {mum production. No definition has
been given as yet of Davis’ authority over these matters. But President Roosevelt's press conference statement yesterday, coupled with facts gathered from other sources, indicated that there may be an understanding giving Davis more authority than is contained in the executive order setting up the food administration. Plan Land Army. Mr. Roosevelt said Davis would have complete authority over food production and distribution. The executive order transferred to him little more than the duties and powers entrusted to Wickard as war food administrator. ° The lone exception was in transferring to Davis labor and manpower authority previously exercised over farm workers by War Manpower Commissioner Paul V. McNutt. Mr. Roosevelt said he expected Davis to use that power to establish some sort of a land army, to assist in farm production. Plans are under way for a force of 200,000 to 250,000 mobile farm workers to be shifted to critical areas to 'supplement local labor. Recruiting Mapped Plans which have been developed by the agricultural labor administration under the direction of Wickard include: 1. Local recruiting and placement of 3,000,000 part-time ° workers under the direction of the extension ‘service. 2. Organization of a mobile force of at least 100,000 migratory workers from American cities and farmers to be moved from state to state by the farm security - administra-
tion. ; 8. The importation of 50,000 Mexican and Bahaman labor for work largely in” fruit and commercial vegetable regions. The plans also have included a woman'’s land army of undetermined

HOOSIER WARDED
versity of Illinois, a native of Mooresville, has been awarded the $1000 El Lilly & Co. prize in bio-
ing to the announcement by the American Chemical society. Dr. Carter, a member of the staff of the biochemistry division at the university since 1933, is 32 years old. The award was based on his contributions to knowledge of the amino acids, building blocks of proteins and of fatty acids. Presentation of the prize will be made at a general session of the society at its 105th annual meeting April 14 in Detroit. The award was created in 1935 to “promote interest in fundamental research in biological chemistry and to recognize young men and women in a way which should mean much to the progress of this fleld in the United States.”

18 A BUSY MAN
Mayor Largely Concerns. _ Patronage. By SHERLEY UHL :
i | Dapper Harry Ray is generally
to be the busiest man in He is the fellow who su-
no bones about it, says the administration's per-
Yesterday it was revealed that
listed on the city payroll as superintendent of the Adler st. sewer project, a job for which he receives $216 a month.
Old Method Discarded
patronage distribution duties would be conducted by the Republican county chairman from central committee headquarters and financed through party funds: This routine job clearing method was discarded early this year when Mayor Tyndall relieved Republican County Chairman Henry E. Ostrom of his patronage rights and placed them under a patronage committee of his own. When news of Mr. Ray’s official status got around city hall yesterday, newspapermen were summoned to Mayor Tyndall's office. There, the general himself explained Mr. Ray's unusual position as ‘“superintendent of sewers in charge ‘of patronage.” Needed Personnel Chief ; The administration needed a .personnel director, the mayor pointed out. No corporation in Indianapolis employing as many persons as does the city itself, could possibly operate without a personnel department, he reasoned. X ; ! Mr. Ray's predecessor as sewer superintendent, George R. Hereth, a Democrat, was an accredited engineer. Mr. Ray, a Republican, but no engineer, has nevertheless engineered many a patronage assignment. His secretary, who receives $1440 a year, is now cataloging names. of about 2700 city employees, along with other data including their wards and political recommenda. tions. Two other unpaid helpers are ng~ sisting with personnel cuties. Mr. Ray and his staff occupy an alcove in the engineer’s department, which at first was besieged daily by hopeful job-seekers whose ranks by now have slimmed out considerably. Meanwhile the Adler st. sewer project is progressing at full speed. The foreman on the project, A. J. Ammon, said his. busy boss hadn't gotten around there much.

DENVER, Colo, March 27 (U.P.). ~QGovernor John V." Vivian today challenged the authority of national selective service headquarters to. revoke his order for blanket deferment of Colorado farm workers. “It is now a question of whether the Colorado selective service director is going to obey Maj.
