Eyes Of South Bend will turn 70
the state capital today where the
curtain OF secrecy that has shroud-
ed the movements OF federal author
tiles in South Bend viii be partially
revealed. Throughout the past two
weeks. following an investigation
headed by r. c. Minton, assistant
state prohibition director, Of Indi-
annapolis. In which members Of the
prosecutor Office and Harry Math-
ers. local dry agent, held session be-
hind closed doors, toward the mu-
tual objective Of Kidding the city Of
its many dry law evaders. federal
agents have been active with the re-
suit that evidence in a number Of
eases now pending trial in the city
and circuit courts may be brought
up before the federal grand jury to-
day in its opening session.
While the number OF subpenas

the prosecutors Office last night that
the number Of local dry law violat-
ors may exceed the hundred mark.
At the present time there are ap-
proximately so cases Of prohibition
law violation pending trial in the
city courts, almost all OF these be
ing held over on bonds ranging
from $500 TO $4,000. Some Of these
are pending trial for two counts or
more, it being alleged that no soon
er than the defendant has secured
postponement Of trial and the es-
adjustment Of bond he returns to
his former occupation and is as a
result apprehended a second or third
time with the postponement again
following.
1t is believed that the probable ac-
ton OF the federal grand jury today,
Il some Of these cases are brought
before it, will throw aside the cur
tain Of secrecy that has shrouded
federal movements and definitely
prove that government authorities
mean TO clean up" the city.

COUNCIL APPROVES
MOVEMENT HERE TO
OPEN "JOB" OFFICE
Aldermen Assure Chamber of
Commerce That Financial
Aid Will Be Given.

Definite assurance that the city
Of South Bend Will back a proposal
for the installation of a free en-
ployment bureau in this city was
given last night at the regular meet
ing OF the common council. The
action Of the city fathers was an
nounced following a short speech
by Frank j Green. manager Of the
Chamber Of commerce, in which he
stated that the project had already
received the endorsement Of the
county commissioner, and that that
organization would make the neces-
sary recommendation TO the MEM
bers Of the county council at their
this afternoon.
In the plan for the employment
office as announced by Mr.. Green,
the city must appropriate $3.50 as
it's share toward the upkeep OF the
expenses Of the office, the county
council must appropriate a like
amount. while the state Of Indiana
Will donate a sum Of $4,000, making
a total sum Of $4,000 a year for the
maintenance of the institution.
Expect County To Act.
Mr.. Green's purpose in appearing
before the council last night was to
determine the councils attitude in
regard TO the proposed project. He
stated that it was necessary for him
20 get a definite idea of the subse-
quent action because the county
council would then be in a position
10 reach an agreement on their plan
to aid in the establishment Of the
Office
Although the ordinance appropri-
atins the needed amount Will not be
presented TO the council for several
weeks. Mr.. Green declared the
problem of seeking to aid the unem-
plOyment situation in this city would
be unnecessarily delayed unless the
program as outlined was allowed TO
progress. He pointed out that the
unemployment emergency now exists
I'm this city and that the situation
would have to be met eventually.
Following his address the council
by motion authorized him to an
nounce 20 the county council that
they would approve a measure in
the near future making the appro-
priaton required as the citys ex-
pense in the proposal.
Will Petition State.
Mr.. Green viii appear before tie
county council today to determine
whether or not they Will donate their
share TO the establishment OF the
office. Provided the county council
approves OF the proposal. steps will
be taken 10 secure the additional
appropriation from the state off,
Gals.
Mr.. Green in relating the program
10 the city council declared that the
Chamber OF Commerce was willing
10 donate space and it's facilities for
the employment office If by so doing
the expense OF the undertaking
would be materially reduced.
In his speech last night Mr.. Green
merely restated the facts concern
ing the unemployment situation as
IL now exists I'm South Bend, and
warned the council that action would
have 20 be taken 10 relieve this
situation soon.
