OVER DAY CARE

Officials Say School Board Plans Conflict With Park Program.

Flare-up between school board officials and the city park and recreation department loomed today following disclosure that the school board intended to install its own day-care program to accommodate children of working mothers. Park board authorities are contending that in some instances school board child-care activities will conflict with the regular city recreation program. Recreation Director Harold Geisel declared that instructors employed by the school board will be paid $5 a day, while city instructors are assigned at a $3 daily rate.

Sees Morale Threat

“Such a discrepancy,” he said, “might lower the morale of city recreation employees and foster discontent within the department.” He added that the department had already experienced difficulty in obtaining playground instructors. Park Superintendent Lloyd Pottenger charged the school board with “taking over instructors schooled by us at our own expense.” He said he believed any school board playground program should be “co-ordinated with the scheduled

city recreation plan, rather than operated as a separate, exclusive

unit.” Although formal announcement of the school board proposal has not yet been made, it was understood that six child-care centers would be established. As now arranged, two of these will be conducted in school grounds where city recreation programs are planned. Fee to Be Charged Enrollment in school board childcare centers will be open exclusively to children between the ages of 16 and 14, whose parents are occupied during the day. Arts, crafts, music and games will be provided along with meals planned by trained dietitians. - Parents of children taking part in the activities will be required to pay a special fee. W. A. Hacker, assistant superintendent in charge of social service at the school board, denied that the school program would in any way inhibit activities of the city park department. Park board officials said the school board had asked them to “withdraw city recreation set-ups from those centers where childcare programs are planned, under the excuse that instructors would be needed elsewhere.”

REPORT POLES KILL 54 GESTAPO AGENTS

By UNITED PRESS The slaying of 54 gestapo agents by the Polish underground during April and new sabotage in Denmark were reported today from axis Europe. The British radio said Polish patriots killed 40 gestapo agents in the Lublin area and 14 others in the Kielce district. All were said to have been marked for death by the underground. ! Danish sources in London said four bombs exploded Wednesday night in the port area of the Roerdal cement factory at Aalborg, north of Jutland, scattering machinery over a large area. The Nazi-controlled Toulouse radio, in a broadcast recorded by the federal communications commission, said that a fire caused $70,000 damage in a transport firm at Epernay, France.

_ RETURN HOME Shotgun Blast Is Signal for

Rush of Evacuees at

Beardstown.

BEARDSTOWN, IIL, June 4 (U. P.).—Two shots fired into the top of a tall maple tree at 9 a. m. today set off thé concerted rush of hundreds of anxious women and happy children back to homes they left two weeks ago when the raging Illinois river theatened to inundate the town. A barrier had been placed at the interesection of 15th st. and U..S. highway 67. Outside the town on

the highway, three abreast on the right lane and shoulder of the road, stood 100 cars filled with 450 homecomers. At the intersection stood a group of 15 militiamen. : State militia. officers Brig. Gen. Louis Stacy and Capt. Elmer Abbott of Peoria, and Maj. -Clarence Giddings of Monmouth, compared watches and signaled to Pvt. Leo Pilarski, Kewanee.

Fires Shotgun

Pilarski raised the double-bar-reled 12-gauge shotgun to his shoulder and blasted away into the maple tree. Stacy waved his hands and the cars began moving forward, in a caravan, into the city. The cars began gathering at the barrier at 6:30 a. m. In the first car was Mrs. Grover Summey and Mrs. C. A. Bixler and a pet dog who sat between them in the front seat. Both wore summer dresses and Mrs. Bixler wore a bandanna handkerchief over her head. “We're dressed for housekeeping,” they said. “It's going to take about a week to get our homes back in shape.” They tired to talk the militia into letting them past the barrier before 9 o'clock but were unsuccessful. Officers took their names and addresses as they did those of the other arrivals.

She's in a Hurry

Mrs. Summey said she was in a hurry to get her furniture moved from upstairs down to the first floor and to get her husband’s dirty dishes cleaned up. During the emergency he drove a sand truck and “batched” at home by himself. “Grover’s anxious for me to get back and start cooking,” Mrs. Summey said. Mrs. George Robinson and her seven children were in the second car. Maxie Robinson, about 8, was the only child with a problem. He asked his mother if he had to take his second typhoid injection today. “Yes,” she said, hurt much.” The automobiles kept piling up on the other side of the intersec-

By SHERLEY UHL Indianapolis’ police force today was a step closer to “partisan equality” following appointment of 35 new emergency patrolmen. Lee Emmelman, sporting goods; executive who serves as the administration. patronage chief, said “all appointees took merit examinations, but the group sworn in yesterday is very predominantly Republican, and rightly so.” : He added that city patronage manipulation of police department appointments, ostensibly made under strictly non-partisan merit examinations, is intended to affect a “political balance on a force now crammed full of Democrats given jobs under former police chief, Michael Morrissey.” At present, he pointed out, there are more Democrats than Republicans on “both the police and fire departments.”

Shows Morrissey List

To support his statements, he quoted a statistical tabulation, drawn up by himsef, of political affiliations and voting records of some 190 policemen assigned to the

department under ex-chief Morrissey “since adoption of the merit system in 1934.” The list, showing registration ‘declarations of all officers named by Mr. Morrissey and how they balloted in primaries since 1934, indicated that 141 were Democrats and only 16 G. O. P. backers. Others failed either to vote or register. Mr. Emmelman explained that Indiana statute requires that state police personnel be maintained at a “50-50” level as far as political faiths are concerned.

No ‘Wholesale Shake-Up’

“I think that's the way it ought to be in the city,” remarked Mayor Tyndall's patronage chairman. He added that while the patronage check-up on police political alliances “doesn’t signal a wholesale shake-up,” that future appointees will come largely from Republican ranks. Asked how, under the merit law,

tion. Some were piled high with furniture and mattresses. These were the people who had lived near

the levee and had taken all their furniture along instead of storing it on Second floors like most of the town’s resident. The cars included a school bus from Virginia containing 36 women, children and two babies. For two weeks they've lived in the Hyde school at Virginia. Militia officers registered everyone in the first 100 cars and therefore, when the 9 o'clock signal was fired, the starting gun set off a parade across the line reminiscent of the Oklahoma land rush. Later arrivals were stopped for registra-

minded that “only part of those merit examinations are completely out of the hands of the department itself. Grading of practical tests is done by police force superiors.” In swearing in the men yesterday, Safety Board President. Will H. Remy advised, “fear no man while doing your duly, and remember that no one is on the protected list.” The appointees, named to fill ranks decimated by the manpower drain, will hold office for the duration only. They are: Leonard Beeker, brother of Chief Beeker; Richard Goode, Edward Clark, Warren Todd, Raymond Anacker, Dennis Maxey, Russell Carmichael, Verl M.
