Der Of the improvements which Mayor

promised TO support the mayor in

W. Wise, Republican, and William e.
Clauer and Otto Ray, Democrats. The
five other Republican councilmen and
Heydon W. Buchanan, the other Demo
crat, said they wanted to cooperate
with the new administration, but all
efforts Of the mayor-elect to pin them
down to n definite promise that they
would help out his employment program

time to consider, but wanted TO know
right then and there whether the coun-

soup kitchens in Indianapolis within the
next month or two. Personally, the
mayor-eect said. he was not going to
have the responsibility On his shoulders.
