Roster of the Indiana university
school Of education.
Education is matter of citizen

later, for criminal institutions to
take care Of children with insuf1ci-
ent education"

eral made by educators at public
hearing on the Lindley senate bill

ON WARRANTS
Baker Decides John Doe
Search Is Valid.

John Doe" search warrants when
containing description of property
to be searched, were held to be
valid today by Criminal Judge
Frank P. Baker.
Baker ruled that a search war
rant does not have to contain the
name of the owner or occupant of
property in order to pave the way
for a legal search.
The ruling was made in the case
of Sam Delca, convicted for blind
tiger recently in municipal court
and given a thirty day jail sentence.
Delca appealed his case to Bakers
court, for retrial, filing a motion to
suppress evidence on the grounds
that the warrant under which his
property was searched was made out
to John Doe.
Baker overruled the motion, and
Delca entered plea of guilty to
possessing liquor. His case was re-
turned to municipal court for
sentencing.

Met With Insults, Is
Charge on Floor.
RELIEF SURVEY ORDERED
Terre Haute Pastor Pleads
for Hundreds Who
Are Starving.

Charges that the house OF repre-
sentatives' treatment Of appeal for
aid from Indiana's unemployed has
been insulting and ridiculous"
were hurled on the floor today.

Indiana jobless was received.
Representative John d. I. Bold
dem, Vanderburg). later present
ed a resolution calling for appoint
ment by the Governor of three eco
nomic experts to make a survey of
relief possibilities and report to the
general assembly.
1t was the signal for witticism
by Representative Miles j. Furnas
(Rep., Randolph Immediately. He
moved unsuccessfully that the Gov
ernor be instructed to appoint the
economic experts from the Demo-
cratic house ranks and majority
floor leader DELPHI l.. McKesson
countered with the proposal that
the Republican members be ap-
pointed.
LeYlty Is ASSaIled
With this favorably voted on,
Representative John f. White
Dem, Marion), charged "a serious
matter is being treated ridiculously
and that consideration ought to be
given these unemployed petitions.
Representative Fred S. Galloway
(Dem., Marion), chined in with:
Il think the house action in this
matter is an insult to the intelli-
gence Of the unemployed.
Communism is in the ofTing;
you've got to do something To pre-
vent it," the Rev. A. j. Goodman,
Terre Haute minister, said.
Mr.. Goodman prefaced his adj
dress with a reference to the first
such appeal made ten days ago by
unemployed, who staged a prelim-
mary demonstration at the state
house.
Communism Is Denied
Were not communists, Good
man asserted. I'VE are representa-
tive citizens and taxpayers of In
diana and we appeal to you for
earnest consideration of any bills
for state aid that may be introduced
at this session.
Regardless Of what you do about
this petition, in the name Of hui
manity do something for the hun
dreds Of jobless in Indiana who
actually are starving.
''There is too much state employ
n1ent in too few families, cases
where several members are holding
state jobs which, if distributed more
evenly, would mean at least one
bread winner in families where
there are none now. At least obtain
jobs for as many different families
as possible" he pleaded.
Contents of the relief petition
were similar to those of the previous
one and embraced such provisions
as siX-hour day; ban on eviction
of unemployed; limitation of loan
rates to unemployed to 2 per cent,
and a request for creation of jobs
through building Of public works.
