INDIANA FACES
Loss OF GUARD
AIR SQUADRON
$4,000 Needed to Avert
Transfer 10 Kentucky,
Officers Say.

Bearing documents frora Major
General William G. Everson, chief
Of United States militia, citing
"much-needed improvements for
the Thirty eighth division aviation, .
officers of the One hundred thir-
tenth observation squadron, In
diana national guard, sought favor
able action on a $4,000 appropria-
ton bill from the house ways and
means committee today.
Major General Everson, in a let
ter to Major Richard F. Taylor,
commanding officer of the squadron,
headquarters of which are at Stout
field, Mars. Hill, outlined the i'm
provemeuts needed by the unit.
Chief among them is modern,
heated hangar and space to store
$750,000 in government equipment
allotted to the squadron.
If the legislature refuses the ap-
preparation, the squadron may be
transferred from Indiana to Ken
lucky, where Louisville business men
have pledged $4,000 for construc-
ton Of proper hangers for ma
tional air unit, Major Taylor said
today.
Would Mean Unit Loss
If such transfer were made it
would preclude any future alloca-
ton OF another unit in this state,
since but one air squadron is allot-
ted to each national guard division,
and Kentucky, West Virginia and
Indiana comprise the Thirty eighth
division or militia.
The appropriation is requested in
a bill introduced by Representative
Gerrit M. Bates dem, Marion) Z.
OF the total, $125,OOO would be ex-
pended for construction of the han
gar, and for remodeling of present
hangers, and $4,000 would be for
maintenance Of the unit.
Rated by the war deartment last
year as the highest ranking national
guard air unit, the One hundred
thirteenth squadron in that period
flew 4,507 hours, 900 hours more
than any squadron had flown in one
years previously, Major Taylor said.
Three weeks flying was spent in
southern Indiana early in. 1880 on
flood relief.
Upkeep Is Costly
GAS you often have heard me say,
our air corps is very costly, particu-
larly as regards equipment, and I
feel the states that are so fortunate
as to have these units should make
proper and adequate provision for
their housing and maintenance"
Ma or- General Everson wrote.
1.-THE essential items are modern,
heated, f1reproof hangers, and adj
ministration buildings. with ample
offices, class rooms, assembly rooms,
lavatory facilities, and an examin-
ing room for the flight surgeon.
"a Photographic laboratory and
provision for the communication
section also are essential. OF course,
supply rooms, parachute we'll ma
chine shop and garage should be
provided in your hangers"
Transfer of the unit from Indian
apolis would take away a pay roll
Of 100000, spent in the squadron
by the federal government, the ma
jor told the house committee. 1t also
might remove one airport from In
dianapoliS, since Stout field was
selected by the state for the national
guard.

No Notice Given Him That
Resignation Is Accepted,
He Asserts.
MUM ON LEGAL ACTION
PhotoStatic Copies Shown
Give Weight to His
Contentious.
BY DICK MILLER

Pat Page still is football coach
at Indiana university, newspaper
stories naming his successor to the
contrary, he said on arrival here
today, contending he had not been
notified that he no longer was
coach at the state school.
Although out of meeting of the
faculty athletic board of control
Saturday leaked the information
that E. c. Hayes, track mentor, has
accepted Pages post, Page said he
had not heard that his resignation
and it's terms had been accepted.
He remained at his home Sunday
awaiting notification Of acceptance
of terms he made to the board to
pay him $16,500 he claims would be
due him on unexpired contract from
Jan. /. 1881, until April /, 1882.
Reticent on Suit
Asked whether he would cue to
obtain that sum If the university
accepted only his resignation and
named another coach in his place,
Page was reluctant to express plans,
more than to say he hoped the mat
ter would be settled quietly.
When he was about to depart for
the east, Dec. q, Page declared he
received, by registered mail, a COM
munication from DR.. w. j. Moenk-
haus, chairman Of the faculty board,
stating that it was the unanimous
judgment of the committee that it
would be unWiSe for the mentor to
continue as coach.
Canvass of the board revealed to
him that the unanimous decision
really was compromise, Page said
today. However, early this month
he replied to DR.. Moenkhous' letter,
addressing his resignation under
terms Of a meeting of a. committee
of the university board of trustees,
comprised of B. F. Long, Ora L.
Wildermuth and G. M. Meier, June
T. 1929.
Retention Was Recommended
According to photoStatic copy OF
the minutes of that session, the
committee reported recommends
ton that Page be retained for the
year ended April /, 1880, at an an
nual salary of $12,500. It also was
recommended that, in view of the
three-year contract Page held with
the athletic board of con.rol, the
board should assure Page continued
employment for two additional
years, with a salary increase of $500
each year, except in case of inca
pacity.
The recommended was ap-
proved by the trustees, according to
John w. Cravens, secretary. Under
those terms. Page rendered his res
ignation, with an additional para
graph agreeing that If investiga-
ton of his action by the intercol-
legiate conference should unearth
any disapproval of action by the
faculty board of trustees, Page
should be exonerated.

Movie Barons Swear Off
Paying Vast Sums for
Broadway Successes.
BY. DUANE HENNESSY


HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 26.-The
L L gentlemen who hold the
strings ITO the movie studio pocket
books have been paying a pretty
penny for the biggest New York
stage hits, but they are becoming a
trif1e wary of high prices nowadays.
Even Howard Hughes, the young
multimillionaire producer, who can
hardly be trusted within earshot of
a Broadway success, insists he is
through paying big prices.
AS for musical shows, it would be
pretty difficult to pay studio to
take one as gift, now that the pow
ers that be have decided that the
public doesn't want anything except
pictures with good, sturdy plots.
II u
PURCHASING a Broadway play
4 or musical show isn't so easy as
it seems.
When Samuel Goldwyn acquired
"Shoppee" from Florenz Ziegfeld he
took Ziegfeld's services and a flock
of Ziegfeld chorus girls, too.
Then there are silent rights and
talkie rights to add costly confusion
to the situation.
Only recently Joseph r. Schenck
at United Artists wrote check for
$4,000 for "The Greeks Had a
Word for It." Joe Atkins amusing
comedy. Schenck's wife, Norma
Taln1adge, has been cast for the
starring role on the screen.
It is reported Schenck paid a
similar price for "Sons O. Guns"
for Al Jolson. But musicals are
shaky ventures in pictures these
days, and while the story is listed
in the preparing" column for Al
Jolson, it never may be produced.
HUGHES paid $125, oO0, for ''The
Il i Front Page" a raucous story
of newspaper reporters, which is~in
production. He was reported to
have paid $4,000 two years ago for
1.-The Racket" one of the first gang
ster pictures in the current series.
Mary Pickford paid $125,000 for
"Coquette,"' but from the studio
comes word that it was worth it.
Tiffany paid something like $780,
600 for Journeys End the English
war picture by R. G. Sheriff.
Highest of all was the 1925 900
paid by Carl Laemille Jr. for
Broadway" in a furious bidding
contest. He paid an additional $35,-
600 for dialogue rights,
And Broadway" was one of the
biggest flop5 of the year. Universal
waited too long before starting,
practically every other studio put
ting out similar production before
the costly story reached the public.
We're through paying big prices"
shout the film producers, but Just
wait until big Broadway hit comes
along.
