1ND1 \XAPel IS, ,lan. 30 (INS)— The future of the pari-nmluel g:ajnblins: bill uasumo I a rosier tint today as administration leaders continued cracking the \\1 ip in the House of Representatives Chief Instrument available to the proponents of the highly controversial measure was a roll call taken yesterday on maneuvering the bill from the public morals committe • nto the ways and means committee. v t i'no.ved 01 votes the -lotion, the nost encouraging not> sounded in the hill's behalf so far. But what was ore ii..port;uit was the faet that the roll call put the members on record. Rrofn it . dmlnistration leaders can glean with some degree of accuracy the hendici s who are out of line on Ihe n< isure. Significant, hn'.iver, was the tiesire of the bill’s Pickers to get the measure back nto committee. It meant they do not yet have sufficient strength on the fleer of the House to weather attempt o kill t. It takes 51 . I a in the House to pass a hill. Fifty-one members voted to send the bill to the more lympathetic ways and nouns committee. Thirty-five voted i .ainst it. The sponsors of pari-mutuel betting know where the 35 stand. vVhat has them warrh I is how many of the 51 will stand hitched. Some of those 61 are suspected of voting favorably in the hope that stalling the hill about in committees will hurt its chances.

lands and equipment within his appropriation, and to fix salaries of policemen, with the approval of the Governor. The board would conduct examinations potential police officers and if these examinations are passed, the applicant is taken on probation for a period and attends a school to be set up by the Superintendent. If the applicant then is fit for i>olice work in the opinion of the Superintendent, the applicant shall enlist for a period not less than two years. Police officers are not subject to discharge except for cause and then only after public hearing, if demanded. The police officer may not quit the department unless onvalid excuse approved by the Superintendent. All promotions are made on a basis of merit alone, promotions to be made by the boardupon i eeommendation of the Superintendent. The state budget bill carries appropriations of $450.000 for the fir.- t year anil $475,000 for the second year for the police department. The past two years the police department has spent only approxi-
mately $210,000.
The clogs have commenced to growl. It is only a matter of time until they break out into a full chorus of barks. The administration’s pari-mutuel bill does not include deg tracks in the proposed legalized gambling. But there Is some powerful lobbying being done to amend the measure to admit the bow-wows when it is brought out
on the floor.
That is anedher little item administration leaders would like to get under better control before the bill is reported out of the ways and means committee. To let dog tracks in on the betting might kill the measure.
It did in 1933 when the administra- Britain
tion had a much tighter grip on both
houses than today.
rndiana's state police system, long a football of politics, will be placed on a merit basis and will be governed by a non-partisan board of four members under the terms of a nill which was to be introduced in ..he state Senate Wednesday by Senator Henry F. Schricker, of Knox, Democratic caucus chairman. The bill will provide that .a state police board of four members, 'two from each political party shall be named by the Governor for terms of one. two, three and four years respectively and that thereafter the terms shall be for four years. The bill will eventually create n department on a par with those in Pennsylvania, New York. Michigan and other eastern states. It would bo the duty of the state police board lo name a Superintendent with the approval of the Governor, the superintendent to serve at tne pleasure of the board and also of the Governor. The superintendent will be the executive and administrative officer of the department with full powers to promulgate rules ami regulations
Courfs Defeat Shocks League r
GENEVA, Jan. 30. < IJn-league of Nations officials were shocked today by th ■ United States senate’s rejection of adherence to the world
court.
They had believed approval assured and refused steadfastly to comment for several days past on the possibility of the senate’s voting adherence, fearing any comment might be misinterpreted in Washington, influenc-
ing the ballot.
Some thought complications following United States’ entry into the international lalior organization of the league may have influenced the
senate’s decision.
America’s rejection of entry also appeared likely today to raise an embarrassing issue before the league
council.

Charles Price, who operates a filing station and tourist camp on the National road at the Lena road, has been arrested by state policemen on the charge of keeping a device for gaming. This charge was filed in ihe Clay circuit court and Price was released on a $500 cash bond. Thus begins what may he an important test case on the slot machine and gaming device law in this section of the state. It is a well known fact that there lias been a more or less unrestrained use of slot machines, marble games and punch hoards, all of which come under the state law’s ban on gaming devices. There has been considerable opposition to the use of machines in Flay county. Police authorities have said they •vrie perfectly willing to raid the places where machines arc operated, confiscate the machines and money in them hut they did not relish the idea of having to put the machines back in place and restore them to their owners. It is 1 oported that court rulings have made a peculiar interpretation of the law which holds that the mere
