No Indictments Returned in
Probe of Court Re-
porterS' Pay.

Ternling the county court repor-
ters' pay record muddle a political
handball issued by one Harry
Dunn" the Marion county grand
Jury today, after three weeks DELHI
Grafton, reported to Criminal Judge
Jams A. Collins without returning
an Indictment. 1t recommended
that legal steps be taken to clarity
the approval of county commission
ers in the case"
The probe has been under way
since Judge Collins acted on a
declaration of Circuit Judge Harry
o. Chamberlin that a pay record
giving court reporters 5000 yearly
salary raise has been missing from
the office of County Auditor Harry
Dunn.
During the three weeks Of the
probe, the grand jury has heard the
testimony of eight county judges,
including Judge Chamberlin, and
also the story of five county officials
involved.
Report Is Submitted
The grand jury report said:
THE grand jury finds no evidence
that there has been formal fixing
of salaries at an increased rate
from the judges of the various
courts for court reporters. or pre-
sented at any regular meeting of the
board of county commissioners for
their required approval.
THE grand jury finds no evil
dence (including the minutes or
public records Of the commission
ers) that any requested petition or
form issuing from the various Judges
ever was considered or acted upon
at any regular meeting Of the board
or ordered TO be made public
record through the auditor by the
board of county commissioners
subsequent to the action Of rejec-
ton of such proposal-of the re-
quest of the court reporters bearing
the approval of the various judges,
bearing date of Oct. 6, 1927, and re-
iected under date of Jan. Is, 1928.
ASK Clar1HcatIOn
eve recommend that legal steps
be taken to clarity the approval of
commissioners as Endorsed by them
on back of appropriation No. 81 Of
January, 1929, and passed by the
county council in the same month
whereby the aforementioned re-
porters were allowed and paid $500
additional salary during 1929.
Regarding an alleged record in
custody of the auditor, 1t is our
opinion this same thing to be a
political handball issued by one
Harry Dunn under the statute hav-
ing no right or authority that
thing to do,
"It is our opinion that It's pur-
pose was to divert and occupy the
attentions of the interested parties. "
The grand jury's report is believed
to have left the issue an open one.

Herring ASKS REFORMS
South Bend Official Backed
by Otto P. DeIuse in
His Appeal.
BY LAWRENCE SULLIVAN
TiYuag SfaR Nnrraenondapf

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-A ma
tional plan for a federal system of
old-age pensions was presented to
congress today for the first time.
Sketching the results of ten
year study Of the problem by a
special national commission Of the
Fraternal Order Of Eagles, Frank E.
Herring of South Bend, Ind, told
the house labor committee that state
pension systems had proven only
half as costly as almshouses.
Enlightened public opinion has
made old-age pensions a subject for
national consideration" he said.
Men and women in every walk Of
life recognize that our next great
social reform must rid the land of
the poorhouse."
He presented official reports from
Montana, where the pension plan
has been operative for seven years,
to show that the average annual
cost tothe state Of each penSioner
was but $165, against 1894 for each
person maintained in a public aims
hose.
Bills in Legislatures
Pension bills have been presented
in thirty-two legislatures. Ten states
already have enacted such legisla-
ton.
I'm 1921 no county or state was
paying old-age pensions" Herring
said. To-day ten states, the terri
tory of Alaska, five Canadian prov
inces and the Northwest territories
have pension laws"
Under the projected national plan,
the federal government would match
the states, dollar for dollar, on all
pension appropriations. The sur
vey of his commission has demon
strated that only one person out of
600, on the average, would apply for
a pension. Pensions would be pay
able only to persons over 70 years
of age.
Herring told the committee the
Eagles plan has the support Of the
American Federation of Labor and
a score of social and philanthropic
organizations. The pension system
long has been advocated by the de-
partment Of labor.
Just and Humane Move
"Old age pensions are a more
Just. humane and economical way OF
doing what we have tried blunder-
ingly to accomplish with the poor
house" Herring said.
Herring past grand president OF
the Fraternal Order of Eagles, has
been national chairman of the
fraternity's old age pension COM
mission since its establishment in
1921. He is regarded as one of the
most thoroughly informed men in
the country on the subject of pen
sion administration.
Assisting Herring in his preSenta-
ton was Otto P. Deluse of Indian
apohs, also a past grand president
of the Eagles and a co-worker in
the pioneering which has focused
national attention upon the prob
lem.
Former Representative John M.
NORM of Pittsburgh, who also has
been member of the commission
since it's inception, acted as coun-
sci for the group.
Representative Williams F. Kopp
of Iowa. chairman Of the labor
committee, indicated the hearings
would continue through several
days.

The accident Is described as one
Of the most unusual in the history
of the air service. There was no
collision in midair and officials were
at a loss to account for the fact
that both planes dived from a COM
paratively low height into the river.
Witnesses said the planes were
flying in formation, with Wolfe
leading. They were flying at about
1000 feet when the dive came,
shortly after their takeoff.
