JOB AID LEADERS
PLAN FOR RELIEF
Crops on Vacant Lots to Be
Aim of Committees
in State.

longtime planning for unem-
ployment relief in Indiana was I'M
der discussion today at a conference
between Fred G. Croxton, midwest
representative Of the Hoover unem-
ployment commission, and DR.. John
Hewitt, secretary of the Governors
conference for unemployment relief.
Plans, which Hewitt says will be
adopted in Indiana, will emphasize
the planting of small crops and
vegetables in towns and cities to be
harvested by the unemployed, with
the idea both of current consump-
ton and winter storage.
This move already has been given
approval in various states which he
has visited, CroXton declared.
Indiana Not So Hard Hit
Distress in Indiana is not so
great as in many other sections. -
he said. Or. Hewitt reports that
things look very promising for
spring improvement"
Hewitt pointed out that Muncie
already has organized a Community
Garden Association to handle lust
such projects as were outlined by
Croxton.
Organization Of such movement in
indianapolis awaits appointment
of committee by A. Kiefer Mayer,
chairman of the Chamber of Com
merce Made Work Committee, Inc,
Vacant lots will be pressed into
service, as was done in war days
and the unemployed will be provided
free seed to plant and cultivate.
CroXton anticipates that in most
instances persons unemployed in
small towns, who have ground to
cultivate, will be able to finance the
seed purchase themselves.
Advice to Be Given
A representative Of the extension
division Of the United States de-
partnent of agriculture will be as
signed TO the state committee to
give planting advice whoever re-
quired, he declared.
Corns, beans and potatoes, all
vegetables which can be kept for
next winter without difficulty, will
be urged for planting, Croxton
pointed out.
1--WE hope in this way to relieve
mining and industrial areas, where
things are very bad" he said.
"This program will be double
edged in its effect. It will provide
food and at the same time improve
morale among the jobless, many Of
whom are without work for the first
time through no fault Of their own"

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, March 27.-The Chi
cago Tribune said today that ev-
dence has been given a special
county grand jury that City Sealer
Daniel Serritella, accused by polit-
ical enemies of being an ally Of
Scarface AL Capone, was dictator
Of police in the downtown district.
The Tribune said the evidence was
given to the jury by Mrs. Shirley
Kub, former undercover agent for
acting Police Commissioner John
Alcock.
Mrs. Kub recently was sent to jail
for refusing to testify before the
jury. Later she was released after
a fifteen-hour session, during which
it was said she kept her promise to
tell enough to blow half the po-
lice and politicians out of heir
jobs"
Boss Police in Loop
Besides being city sealer, Serri-
tella is Republican ward commit
teeman and a state senator. His
name was mentioned frequently
during the recent city primary
campaign, opponents of Mayor Will
liam H. Thompson contending that
his presence In the cabinet was
proof that the administration was
friendly with Capone.
Since that time Serritela and
several other city appointees ten
dered their designations to Thomp-
son, to take effect when the mayor
wished.
The story as told by the Tribune
follows:
Mrs. Kub told the jury that Ser
ritella and James w. Breen, first
assistant corporation counsel, con-
trolled police activities in the loop
and nearby wards and that they
directed VIXEN the police could
make raids and when they must al
low the district to be wide open.
Captain Gets Told"
Mrs Kub testified that Captain
Willard Malone of the loop district
complained last December to Breen.
asking Us Serritella captain or
am II"
This question was asked after Ma
lone was reprimanded for making
raids when the loop was supposed to
be open" because ''the adninistra-
ton wanted IT.
Malone went to Breen and asked.
Am l to stand for everything?"
when the district was open" at
Serritella'S orders.
Mrs. Kub said that Breeh told
Malone:
You go along with SerritelIa."
One Officer Benched
One police captain, Daniel Gil
bert, was benched because he re
fused to go along with Serritella"
Mrs. Kub replied.
The Tribune said that. according
to its informant, several members
OF the mayors cabinet and several
police officers were to be called be-
fore the grand jury as a result Of
Mrs. Kub's testimony.
The grand jury was appointed
especially to investigate rurnors of
graft among police and politicians.
