CITY OFFICIALS
PAY TRIBUTE TO
RETIRING MAYOR
Executive Hears Regime
Lauded as Best in
CitY'S History.

Seventy-flve members of his off,
cial family honored Mayor Reginald
H. Sullivan with a farewell dinner
at the Indianapolis Athletic Club
last night with James E. Deery.
city attorney, who will be Corpora
ton Counsel in the new administra-
ton, acting as POSTMASTER.
Frank G. Daley, former member
Of Mayor Sullivan's Safety Board
and Democratic gubernatorial can
didate in 1928, the principal speaker,
praised the achievements of the Sui
Ivan administration, describing it
as the best in the history of Indian
apolis.
He said that Indianapolis citi-
zens had grown so accustomed to
scandalouS administration Of the
mayoral office that many had be-
Iieved it was impossible for a Mayor
to be honest and efficient. The Sui
Ivan administration, however, had
proved to the people that they
could have a good Mayor, Mr.. Daley
said. and he predicted that future
Mayors would follow in Mr.. Sulh-
vans footsteps so that there could
never be a recurrence of the scan
dals which, he said, shocked the
city under earlier boss controlled
regimes.
Gets Illuminated SoroU
Acting on behalf of the other
guests at the dinner, Mr.. Daley pre-
sented Mayor Sullivan with an il
Illuminated scroll with a message of
tribute and affection signed by
those who served under him. AS a
further tribute the Mayor was CIV
en- a large silver cocktail shaker.
z. Kirk Mckinney, former pres
ident Of Mayor Sullivan'S Board of
Works, also praised Mayor Sullivan's
record and said that much of the
credit for the administrat tons sue
cess should go to party workers ''us-
ually referred to as lousy ward
heelerS" and cheap politicians"
Mr.. Mckinney said these men had
proved that such a designation was
untrue in the way they worked to
assist the Mayor in giving the city
the honest, efficient and economic
government it has had for the last
i've years.
Mayor Deeply Moved
Louis J. Borinstein. president of
the Chamber Of Commerce, spoke as
a Republican who believed that
Mayor Sullivan had given the city
'the finest government it had ever
had" He also read a letter Of trib-
ute from Meredith Nicholson, Min
lister to Paraguay.
Other officials and guests also
spoke in praise Of the Mayor and his
achievements.
Mayor Sullivan, obviously deeply
moved and embarrassed by the
praise which had been heaped upon
him, spoke briefly thanking his as
sociateS for the cooperation and
support they had given him
throughout his term of Office.

Through the warm, sea-gcented air of the South Carolina night the headlights of the roadster ripped immense holes in the cling ing darkness. The arrow on the speedometer's illuminated dial swung slowly from fifty to sixty, to seventy.
 Jim settled himself more com fortably behind the wheel and en-. joyed the rush of wind insistently whipping back over the slanted windshield.
