VAN ORMAN AND
FEDERAL JUDGE
SEE GOVERNOR
Before Meeting, Senate Boss
Says Pocket Favors
Special Session.

Evansville and Vanderburgh
I County citizens are agitating a spe-
/ cial session of the Indiana Legisla-
| ture to straighten out the State high
! way commission muddle, Lieut.. Gov.
! F.. Harold Van Orman declared to-
daay before he and Federal Judge
= Robert G. Baltzell conferred with
Governor Jackson.
After the conference Van Orman
denied the highway matter was dis
cussed.
There's a lot of agitation in
Evansville and the county for a
special legislative session." Van
OrTnan said. "The papers have car
ried numerous stories on the sub
ject and have been approached by
several individuals. OF course, my
/ business keeps me away from town
, aNlot and I'm not generally familiar
with the situation.
t4 Up to Jackson
Its entirely up to Governor
jackson and it isn't up to me to say
whether or not a. session will be
called. 1t would be my duty to pre-
side at a special session, of course.
But what if won't preside? Then
what'll they do?"
Some time ago it was learned that
department of justice officials had
taken hand in the invetigation of
the commissions receipt and sale of
from $S,O00,00O to $10,00O,0 900 of war
material. United States District At
torney Albert Ward, was instructed
by Attorney General Sargent at
Washington to follow his own judg.
ment. Recently Ward declared he
was too busy" to investigate the
commission.
Indictments are pending against
John D. Williams, director Of the
commission; Earl Crawford, mem
ber, and others, charging conspiracy
to embezzle government property.
Favor Session
A special session is favored by
Representatives Charles e. Bebinger
of Indianapolis and William r. o.
born, Franklin.
Something must be done,' said
I Bebinger. eff the commission is so
free from suspicion, why did they
move heaven and earth to cover up
for them during the Legislature?
My only thought is that a special
session would he too expensive, but,
If there is no other way to insure an
investigation, I would favor the
session"
Il think the people of Franklin
and. Fayette Counties want the in
vestigation and favor it either in
court or by the Legislature," Osborn
said. However, a special session
i should be avoided, if possible. -

be speaking for yourself but not
| for the board"
I'm not going to stop the buid-
| ing program, but L don't see any
sense in advertising for bids when
you haven't got the material neces-
sary before you," Emhardt said.
Book said that If action was again
delayed the board would have to
begin all over again.
Barry said that If the school board
couldn't agree on an issue that had
been before them for such long
time that issue might as well be
abandoned.
Program Inter-Dependent
"It seems that by now certain
board members would realize that
thsi entire building program is in
ter-dependent, Barry said. "If one
part of it fails or isn't carried out
why the entire project will fall
through.
'If a new Shortridge isn't built
then the old Shortridge can't be
sold. and if it isn't sold the element
airy school buildings will not be
built"
The controversy in the board meet
ing AROSE when it seemed impossible
to get any action on the new school
before the last part of January, re-
CARELESS of the tax boards decision.
Members of one faction Of the board
urged that all possible by accom-
plished while the board was awaiting
the decision Of the tax board.
Emhardt, however, advocated that
the building projects go unattended
until the plans were completed and
the bids on the bond issue and the
construction of the school were
ready to go before the tax board.
Delay Until Spring
Charles r. Yoke, board president,
said unless the board acted while
the decision was pending it WOULD
not be acted on until early spring.
Other members said that if this was
the case the new board members
might not take up the project where
the board left off and it would be
delayed for at least a year.
Emhardt insisted the new mem
bers would not act until the middle
Of January, and that this would
give the present board time to re-
ceive bids on the bond issue and
plans Of the school.
"Emhardt is working on some
thing or somebody is working on
him that wasn't brought out to-
day." Book said, after the special
meeting.
200 at Hearing
About $50 persons attended the
hearing, civic clubs, the Chamber Of
Commerce and the Indianapolis Real
Estate board being represented. All
tax board and school board members
were present.
The taxpayers association prom
ised that If the tax board decided in
favor of the bond issue, it would sup
port the issue and the building OF
the school.
Purpose Cited
''The purpose of the taxpayers as
ISOLATION if fling the remonstrance
was to insure that money received
from the bond issue would be used
only for the new Shortridge," Fred
A. Sims, attorney for the association
and remonstrance signer declared ir

that when the remonstrance wa:
made plans and specifications were
not filed so that the public could
see them.
