Other cities have found a feasible
approach to budget economy by
eliminating and consolidating de-
partments whose functions overlap
budget experts have pointed out to
The Times.
: at such step could be taken
profitably by Indianapolis is indi-
Gated by study of the budget ap-
preparations for the city plan COM
mission the city building commits
sion and the weights and measures
department.
Created by the state Legislature
under the coming law the plan COM
mission of eleven, headed by Henry
B. Steeg, has authority to pass on
new building and approve it for its
proper zone.
The building commissions duties
include inspection of elevators, COM
bustion engines, electrical appli-
ances and general construction.
Duties Are Necessary
These duties are necessary ones,
it is admitted, but persons closely in
touch with the work of the building
department declare that it is over
stated in view of the small amount
of new construction work being
done in the city at present.
No definite time is set for meet
ings of the plan commission and
they sometimes are as infrequent as
once a month. The last meeting
was more than three weeks ago and
only two minor cases were up for
consideration.
With functions of both depart
ments overlapping, budget experts
suggest consolidation as the answer,
with the resulting department be-
ing brought under the works board
for greater efficiency and economy.
Mayor Could Assume Burden
The mayor, or works board sec
rotary, they point out, could as
sumo the task of holding the meet
ing and the latter would have time
to take over the duties of the plan
commission and building commits
Sioner secretaries.
The building commissioner, in
turn, observers point out, could as
sumo the duties of the plan ex-
aminer, chief construction inspector
al 1 chief clerk with the chief cleo
trical n p t Or, combustion
engineer, elevator inspector and
plumbing and electrical examining
boards brought under the works
board.
Carrying out of this program
would effect saving of approx
mately $27,875. A further $7,740.46
saving through the suggested elimi-
nation of the weights and measures
department would bring the total
to $35, $40 As.
Advanced by Close Observers
Proposal that the latter abolition
be made on the ground of general
activity with the department duties
being taken care of by police, city
health inspectors and the Better
Business Bureau is advanced by per-
sons familiar with the municipal
finances.
Yesterday, The Times survey of
the budget contained suggestions
that would save Indianapolis tax
payers nearly 4 cents on each 500
of taxable property.
Todays proposals would mean a
start on the fifth cent that might
be Topped from the $131 tax rate
that has been fixed by the tax ad-
justment board.

BERLIN, Aug. 26 O.N.S0.-
Observers sometimes point out to
Nazi officials that the foreign
policy of the government has
made many enemies for Ger
many. The officials merely look
bored and say. blandly, What
Of it?"
Germany feels so strong it
cares little what the rest of the
world thinks. It's foreign policy
has been on the whole aggressive
and ofttimes has resulted in
clashes with representatives Of
other nations. There is, for in
stance, the question of Austria.
Policy Protested
On August 7 the French Am
bassador and the British Charge
d'Affaires called upon Baron
Konstantin Won Neurath, foreign
minister, to protest against Ger
man activities in Austria. Their
protest followed a similar but far
less pointed one made a week
previously by Italy.
The protests were based upon
the alleged violation by Germany
Of Paragraph 80 of the Treaty
Of Versailles, under which Ger
many undertook to respect the
independence of Austria.
Interference Denied
The German government,
through Won Neurath, calmly re-
piled that it had not infringed
upon Austria's independence" !"
L feet, it said:
eff Austria wants to 60 Nazi,
that is the business Of Austria
mot Of France, England or
Germany"
It is believed in Germany that
Austria in the near future will
ego Nazi." Germany says Austria
already is rs per cent Nazi.
U. S. Views Ignored
Germany is equally disinter-
eSted in the furor aroused in
England and the United States
in regard to it's anti-Jewish pol
icy. AS for France and it's loud
lamentations that Germany is
merely a huge military camp

being trained for war and where
arms are being manufactured

A. A. A. Executive Relates Thrilling Details
Of Adventure in Hurricane; 35-Foot
Vessel Tossed About in Bay

The tale Of thrilling battle
with the elements was brought
back to Washington today by
Ernest N. Smith, executive vice
president of the American Auto
mobile Association, who left here
q week ago for a days leiSurely
fishing off Solomons Island and
found himself in the middle Of
the worst hurricane in the mem
ory of old-timers.
For three days Mr.. Smith and
his party fought giant combers,
several times his yacht, the Holi-
day, and a friends houseboat
were all but swamped.
Tells Own Story
Mr.. Smith tells the story:
with some Baltimore friends
and Robert N. Hooper, Of Phila-
delphia and Baltimore, we set
out on my yacht and Mr..
HOOper'S h0usebOat, the Will
lam. The weather was so won
derful that six of us went In
my boat from Point Lookout to
Holland Bar on the other side
of the Chesapeake. The first
warning we had Of a storm was
about 6 o'clock, when someone
noted the b nee of birds,
which always hover over bait.
mo sooner had the remark
been made than it hit us. We
lost sight of the other boat and
spent a cold night, buffeted by
waves that kept getting bigger
and bigger. In the morning we
tried to get on the other side
and were all but Swamped. The
