DISMISSAL IS APPROVED

State Board Holds Ex*State P_ollce Captain’s Conduuct As : Improper

Dismissal of Matt Leach, lanky, dark-haired former state police cap-‘ tain, was finald Thursday after a day long police board hearing of charges he criticized and refused to co-op-erate with J. Edgar Hoover's G-men, After a gruelling, sixhour hearing of testimony by the deposed captain captain and representatives of the, federal bureau of investigation, the board found that Leach’s conduct toward the FBI was a “wilful violation of his official duties and of the rules of the state police department, and constituted conduet unbecoming to a police officer.” The board pointed out that its action in upholding the dismissal of Leach was based on his “public criticism and slander of the federal bureau of investigation, its members and officers.” Leach was dismissed last Sepr,em-{ ber4 when the federal bureau of in-| vestigation announced severance of its relations with the state police department. | In a vigorous defense of his police, methods in Indiana, Leach turned fel eral agents’ charges of ‘‘non-co-opera tion” back in their faces, declaread they had “pushed around” his state policemen on case after case and had refused co-operation even when offered them. “It’s a matter of fact and record in our office and the local ¥SI[ office,” I.each said, “‘that I turned entire files of cases over to them. In every instance all the information T have had in connection with federal offen:es was furnished to the deparument of justice and I have never with>l4 such infoermation from them.” Leach deeclared that tactics employed by the FBI during the John Dillinger manhunt were 80 dangerous that lives of state policemen, cititens and even the G-men ilie nv:.7:3 were endangered. Only a careful investigation of reports that ‘‘carloads of bandits’—llater found to be G-men--~ were at large, saved bloodshed accord ing to Leach. : “Why should I have ito us:2 these insane policies to protect these federal agents, our own men and the ciitizens of Indiana?” Leach asked.

(Hungarian, Smooth Awnless, "Russian, Austrian, Brome are other names) , : This grass was introduced in to the United States about 1884 and soon 'met with favor in the dry farming ib.'rea;s as it is best »a'd_apted, to ’vre;' gions of rather late rain fall, and low or moderate summer temperatures, ‘altho, it has survived for twenty years }in at least one central corn belt paslture. It does well on clay loams and succeds fairly well on sands ’where it appears it present to be the ‘best adapted grass which we know. It withstands drouths very well and isevere winters, ' It is a long lived perénnial growing as much 'as three feet high. Roots are creeping, fibrous and some times go five feet deep. It should do well in timothy alfalfa and red clover ‘mixtures, and of course should survive all of them as a permanent pasture grass. It is shown in the early spring or later sumumer whenmoisture is available, and maybe sown at highly variable rates per acre up to 20 pounds. On plats of alfalfa and Brome grass in Michigan from four to eight pounds of alfalfa per acre were used. It is primarily a pasture grass and does mnot yield as well as timothy for hay. It is apparently palatable for cattle, and is relished by horses. The leaves stay green throughout the summer and furnish succulent grazing throughout the pasturing season. Should this grass become sod-bound, disking would oversome the condition. . The seed prize now (1937) is 25 to 30 cents per pound. Cheap seed and even the best may carry some quack grass, so that seed should be purchased on the basis of analysis if this pest is objected to. Michigan is §attempting to certify Brome grass that is free from quack. - Sandy loan areas may find this grass to be extremely valuable in such soils, and especially as a mix{ure with alfalfa. 'Kindly report any experiences to your county agricultural agent.

ROAD PROJECTS IR WPA “Humps” and Rallroad Crossings 10 ; Be Improved This S Winter

As a part of the works progress administration’s contribution to safety on' Tddiana highways, John K. Jennings, state PWA administrator, has announced that during the fall and winter sponsors of county toad projects are to be encouraged to stress the improvement of “hump” or sharp 1y inclined, rallroad crossings in connection with 'their road programs. In making the announcement the administrator’ said he felt that the cause of safety could be better served by improving hazardous crossings than by concentrating on ditching and grading activities, During the two years the WPA has been in operation in Indiana hundreds of such crossings have been improved through the work relief agency's program. Inclined railroad crossings are regarded as one of the greatest menaces to highway travel by authorities on highway sdfety. Such crossings shut off the view of the motorist until he is on the tracks and tend to stall the motor of his car. ~ Under the direction of county high. way superintendents, the state admin. istrator is expecting hundreds of WPA workenrs to be used in improving dangerous conditions at railroad crossings. The work can be done, he explained, by makikng fills and grad‘:!ng highways back a distance of 650 ).to 75 feet on either side of the grade 'to make the approaches to the tracks level.

Autumn Days Will Increase Traffic. Coming weeks will see an increase in traffic on Indiana's state highways as thouvsands of Hoosiers and tourists enjoy the autumn scenery, Earl Crawford, chairman »f the Sta‘e ‘nghway Commission, predicted. ~ This increased traffic will be the gmost noticeable in the southern part of the state where the rolling hills ’nnd extensive wooded areas attract thousands of wigsitors ‘each fall, many of whom <come from neighboring states to enioy the autumn coloring. Indiana is gaining a wide ' reputat‘on for its wvaried scenery at each s-:son of t. wear wits ™ result t :nt more to:ar‘st are bei~g at'-«cted to the state in the fall as well as the spring and summer. 1 Again this year fall motorists will find many new improvements in the nine-thousand-mile statz highway system which reaches into every community. During the summer months scores of canstruction and imorovement projects have been under way. New pavement -hag been laid, bridges and grade separations ha’e been con‘structed sharp curves and ‘turns have been eliminated by relocation, and more than a thousand miles of highway ‘stirfaces have been -improved by surface treatment, resurfacing or oiling. Many of these projects are already complete and the improved high‘ways are open to traffic. Others are being finished rapidly and more detours are being eliminated each week. Exceptionally; favorable weather Juring thee summer months permitted rapld - progress in -construction and improvement work with the result lthat fewer detours will be in ecffect ‘during the autumn-than has been cus. tomary in the past.

Termites Invade Warsaw

Termites, those hungry little beasties with appetites like harvest hands and teeth like razor blades, ‘have invaded Warsaw at last. "And guess where they have made ‘their first attack—the fire statton. fire laddies had gone "about their ‘duties unaware of the termites in ‘their midst—for termites are quieter }than ‘bedbugs and sly as a Kentucky groonshifer.” They discovéred that wooden 'beams supporting{ the fire station had provided meals for the termites, In fact, were almost eaten through by the busy little borers and made tnsafe.’ ~ So the firemen are taking no chances now, they are installing steel ‘beams to replace the damaged wooden ones and hoping that all termites break their beaks. ,

' . Expect Record Fall Crowls - Record. crowds are ' expected at ’lndiana.’s state yarks during the next six weeks when the autumn scenery is at !is best, Virgii M. Simmons, commissioner of the Department of Consertation sald. Park attendance, already abead o° the sume cate in 1936, is expected to reach a new .all time figure, A A majority of the vi-ifors will spend week-ends at the parks but through-the.-week attendsnce is galaing as more and more .persons find greater enjoyment of the parks when they are less crowded.

.. Orders Txceed Supply. ' From the rate at which orders are being recelved from all parts of the state for trees produced in the state forest nurseries, the available stock will be exhausted long before the spring planting season begins, Vir. sil M. Simmons, commissioner of the’ Department of Conservation said. Announcement several weeks ago that the nureries would have approximately eight million trees avallable for reforestation and windhreak plantings next spring, has been followed by scores of orders. ' In recent years, despite enlargement of the nurseries and increased production, the Divislon of VForestry has been unable to supply the demand. Millions of trees are used each year in woodlot and windbreak plantings on farms and private land. Others are planted by coal companies In areas which have becn denuded of vegetation by strip-mining operations and séveral million tress are mnsed annually in reforestation plantings on state! property. Information as to species of trees available may be obtained by ad‘dressing thee Division of Forestry, Department of Conservation, State library Building, Indianapolis.

‘Expect Fall Fishing to be Better 'With the arrival of cooler weather Hoosler anglers are looking forward to betterf fishing in both lakes and streams, Virgil M. Simmons, commissioner of the Department of Conservation said. Many anglers claim that fall’ fishing is better than at any other geason. Stream fishing, since the opening of the season in June, has not been ‘éxceptionally good throughout the state, due to frequent rains which ¥ept many of the best streams muddy. ‘However, 'fishermen -‘have eénjoyed plenty of sport and soms record catches have been reported. . Lake fishing, good through the summer months, is also ‘expected to improve with the cooler weather as the fish move out of the deeper waters. Many anglers are looking forward to the coming. weeks in anticipation of some real plke fishing. A mumber of the lakes are stocked with these sporty game fish which -are susally taken during ceol weather.
