ABC “AMAZED BY TYNDALL'S

LAXITY CHARGE

Say Co-operation Pledged Police in All Cases Against Taverns.

The state alcoholic beverage commission today said it was “amazed and considerably perturbed” about Mayor Tyndall's charges that its enforcement efforts are drooping in Indianapolis, The mayor had accused the A. B. C. of failing to co-operate with local police in cracking the whip over “trouble taverns.” Replying to this charge, the A. B, C. promised its eight excise officers assigned to Marion county would gladly assist “the more than 500 police on the Indianapolis force.” Say Co-operation Pledged In a formal statement, after meeting with Governor Gates, Dr. Burrell E. Diefendorf, A. B.C. chairman, said the commission has assured city officials that “properly prepared cases against any permittees in the city which were causing city police undue difficulties in fights, knifings and general rowdiness would result in revocations of licenses.” Dr. Diefendorf said the commission first learned of Mayor Tyndall's complaints in “newspaper stories.” : : “Our amazement and concern was all thé more pronounced,” he continued, “since neither Mayor Tyndall nor Mr. Remy (Safety Board President Will H. Remy) had made any representations to the commission, nor asked for aid in relation to any particular tavern permittee, Says No Requests Made “The city administration had not previously ever asked the commission to take any steps relative to violations of the alcoholic beverage law.” Informed of the A. B. C.’s statement, Safety Board President Remy countered by asserting that all police reports on tavern incidents were “referred to the alcoholic beverage commission. . . . They have a complete record of all tavern offenses.” 3 Dr. Diefendorf had observed that commission members had met. yesterday with Mayor Tyndall and Mr. Remy “in an effort to straighten out a situation that came as a complete surprise to us. Will Check Files “After an hour and a half conference, it was decided to hold another meeting soon between Mr. Remy and Police Chief Jesse McMurtry, for the city, and A. B. C.| Prosecutor Glenn-—Markland and Excise Police Chief Ernest Minniear. At that time the files on various permittees will be checked thoroughly to see if there is complete co-ordination between the work of the two police departments in relation to alcoholic beverage | permits. “It was pointed out that the com- | mission has only eight excise officers available for duty in Marion county in contrast to the more than 500 officers on the Indianapolis police force.” The A. B. C. chairman said the

BALL HEIRESS MISSING, WIDE SEARCH BEGUN

Muncie Girl, 20, Last Seen Boarding Bus Near Mount Holyoke.

As police throughout the East pressed a search for missing 20-year-old Dorothy Ball, daughter of a prominent Muncie manufacturing family, members of the family said they were “certain” the girl would communicate with them sometime today. “I'm sure Dorothy will contact us as soon as she finds she is being hunted,” her father, E. Arthur Ball, vice president of Balk Brothwys Co., glass manufacturers, declared: Theories of foul play connected {with the girl's disappearance from Mount Holyoke college in Massachusetts yesterday were discounted {after it was learned she had with{drawn $100 from the college bank. A*student friend also told police | that the heiress waved as she | boarded a bus in South Hadley, | Mass., yesterday morning. She was carrying a coat and suitcase, the friend said.
