STUDY OF PARK

PROGRAM HERE

Leader of Civic Federation Attacks Project as a ‘Commercial’ Venture.

A resolution objecting to the “commercializing” of public parks and the need for an extensive survey of Indianapolis playground facilities will be presented to the city park board next Thursday. Adopted last night by the Federation of Indianapolis Community Civic Clubs, Inc. the resolution objected to the proposed $250,000 construction of a new amphitheater, Harry B. Dynes, chairman of the federations park and recreation committee, reported the plans would deprive citizens of three acres of “a commercial venture in a public park.” . Hits High Budget - He emphasized that the contemplated construction of a county-city memorial auditorium on the old Shortridge high school grounds opposite the Memorial plaza would be | sufficient to meet, the needs for a community theater in the city. “There would be a duplication of plans,” he remarked. “The park, board budget is too high now to permit a situafion like that.”. | He explained that the cost of the amphitheater would be defrayed by bond issue and the renting of the “under-the-stars” theater to a business organization to bring professional performers to the city. Cites Other Needs Mr. Dynes also cited the need for added recreation facilities on the west and south side sections of the city. Kenneth Hoy, secretary of the Indianapolis Links association, and Harlan A. Campbell, former city councilman, will join Mr. Dynes in the protest. Charles Blume of the Brookside Civic league urged the federation’s | safety committee to survey the]

needs of increasing the police department. f

Event With Dinner in Country

By WILLIAM EGGERT A simple chicken dinner “somewhere in the country” is the way | riends expect Fred A. Simon, retired Indianapolis detective chief, and Mrs. Simon will celebrate their golden wedding anniversary to-

Mr. Simon, 69, and his wife, Mary, 72, live at 604 W. 54th st. in Rocky Ripple on White river. They were married June 10, 1896.

~ The quiet family celebration is in contrast to Mr. Simon's I8-year police career, which he climaxed by serving as head of the detective bureau and leading his men in capturing members of the murderous Brady gang and Frankie Mason, the safe-cracker. : John Dillinger, another public enemy, kept him sleepless on many nights during 1933 and 1934.

SENATOR'S KIN * ENTERS RADIO

Pepper's Brother Granted Permit by FCC.

By NED BROOKS Seripps-Howard Staff Writer WASHINGTON, June 8.-—Frank

Senator Claude Pepper (D. Fla.) has entered the radio broadcasting business in Tallahassee under authority of the federal communications commission and with $5000 of borrowed.

The younger Mr, Pepper is president of the new broadcast firm, Tallahassee Appliance Corp., which won {its FCC license within six weeks after its application was submitted. His five associates, FOC records showed, ‘put up the $15,000 cash | with which the company began! operations. Mr. Pepper contributed | a $5000 note which a banker-part- | ner agreed to discount. Mr. Pepper |

thereby became a 25 per cent stockholder in the firm. | Senator Pepper, prominent as an administration stalwart, has no con- | nection with the firm. His office sald he had taken no part in the proceedings before FCC. | No Hearing Held Commissjon- officials said there was nothing unusual in the promptness with which the license was granted. They cited nine other applications approved on the same day after having been on fille about the same length of time. | The Pepper license was granted | without a hearing, which officials| said is common practice where en- | gineering problems are simple and no eompeting applications or protests are filled. They explained that the Florida station is a low-power (250 watts), local operation. | The Tallahassee station was as-| signed the frequency it asked—1450 kilocycles—and was granted unlimited time on the air. The application listed Mr. Pepper's partners as Frank W. Hazelton, with experience in communications work; B. K. Roberts, attorney, W. Gorfrey Smith, banker; Emanuel Joanos, retired restaurant and hotel proprietor, and W. H. Wilson, construction firm president. Pepper's Assets $1350 { Mr. Pepper listed his assets at! $1350, of which $600 was in cash | and $750 in government bonds. | The application estimated the new station's cost at $15,025, its
