WEISS DRAFTS
NRA STATUTE
FOR INDIANA
Sister Legislation to u. S.
Recovery Act to Be Given
Assembly.

A state NRA statute. sister legis-
latiOn to the federal NRA, will be
drafted for presentation TO the In
diana general assembly next year
by Senator Jacob Weiss, Democrat,
indianapolis attorney.
approximately 90 per cent of the
code violations in Indiana are based
on the preteXt by the companies or
firms involved that they 90 not do
an interstate business, Senator
Weiss points out.
Thus, enactment of state NRA
statute would give the federal gov
eminent Jurisdiction over firms
doing interstate business. Without
parallel legislation by states, the
federal governments only avenue TO
control over business is exercise OF
its authority over interstate COM
merCe.
The legislation to be drafted by
Senator Weiss will direct the Gov
ernor to appoint state compliance
boards.
In this manner. all code evaslonS
and violations could be corrected.
instead of merely those by firms
whose business crosses the state
borders

THE INDIANAPOLIS TINES
FATHER AND SON
IMPRISONED AS
COUNTERFE|TERS
Parent Gets Five Years,
Youth Two; CrippIe'S
Fate Weighed.

An Indianapolis father and son
were sentenced to federal prisons
today for counterfeiting while the
fate of their accomplice was taken
under Amusement by Judge Robert
c. Baltzell.
The father, Edgar Van Cleve, was
sent to the Atlanta penitentiary for
five years; the son, Kenneth Van
Cleve, to the Chillicothe 90 re-
formatory for two years. Walter
De Long, their accomplice, will learn
his fate at later date.
Charles Macy, secret service
agent who obtained the evidence
against the trio, watched the SEN
fencing and breathed sigh OF re-
lief when it was all over.
The Van Cleves, together with De
Long. who lost both legs in rail-
road accident several years ago and
then improved his idle hours learn
ing counterfeiting, according to
agents, had caused Mr.. Macy many
anxious moments.
Innocent Man Suspected
When counterfeit coins began to
flood the city, the secret service
agent swung into action. A west
side resident, Harry Messing, was
suspected and arrested.
Mr.. Macy thought the matter
was all but cleared up when two
druggists definitely identified" Mr..
Messing. He did not know that
Mr.. Messing and Edgar Van CleVe
we're more alike in appearance than
most twins.
The fact that Mr.. Messing's
nephew. a Bedford youth, previously
had been arrested on counterfeit
ing charges seemed to point to Mr..
Mazey's first prisoner, too, but the
positive identificationS' weakened
before the federal grand jury and
that body failed to indict.
Coin Passer TraiIed
The counterfeit coins continued to
fall with flat thudS into the cash
registers of local merchants.
Then, a druggist with keen eye
and a good memory saw Edgar Van
Cleve on the street, recognized him
as the passer of a bogus 5O-cent
piece and trailed him to Ais High
land avenue, where the trio lived.
Mr.. Macy and indianapolis po-
lice raided and found complete
counterfeiting plant.

CHUCK VIRGINS HELD
AFTER AUTO CRASH
Famed BattIer Accused of
Drunken Driving.

Battling Chuck Virgins, SCARED
veteran of many fistic bouts with
police, was brought into police sta
ton without combat last night and
charged with drunkenness, operat-
ing motor vehicle while under
the influence of liquor, and no
drivers license.
Virgins, who at one time was
as much of an anathema to police
as John Dillinger because of his
swinging fists, is alleged to have
driven his automobile into the car
of Fred Fordyce, %. of 1912 North
Sheffield avenue, at North and ILL
nois streets last night.
Mr.. Fordyce and his wife, Mrs,
Gertrude Fordyce, suffered cuts and
bruises and were treated by a ply
sician. Virgins submitted peace
fully.

I'd heard about them, but never
seen one.
We were close enough last night
to hear grunts, groans and words.
Sometimes not very nice words.
And I did worry a little about
the habit they had of nonchai-
antly tossing each other over the
ropes.
Somehow. I couldn't feel exactly
at ease, with the prospect of more
than two hundred pounds of pers-
piring. Squirming humanity land
ing in my lap. But after five
minutes 1 forgot about that. I
added my yells of advice to those
of the rest of the crowd. I've de-
cided that's the lure Of wrestling
matches. You can scream direc-
tions to the wrestlers without ever
getting mussed up yourself.
THE lady in the white dress
Il with the huge colored but
tons thought Tommy Marvin
should kick Plummer in the
stomach. She told him so in ex-
cited shouts during the bout. The
man wearing the striped tie was
all for a good strong twist on his
leg. AS for Newell. I thought
he had some swell ideas Of his
own
Like the rest of the crowd. 1
was all for Marvin. In spite of his
2l2 pounds. he looked small beside
the mountainous Plummer. And
when he got the first fall (Which
I learned meant holding his
shoulders down to the canvas
while Referee Heze Clark counted
three times. 1 probably shouted
louder than any one else.
I worried when Plummer twisted
Marvins arm in a figure eight
across his back. But it didn't hurt
Marvin. I knew that, because
some man in the crowd yelled to
Marvin and told him so. In spite
of that, the arm, out of joint,
dangled rather uSeleSsly during
the rest of the match.
Plummer seemed to think it
hurt him. for he kept right on
twisting it. And Referee Clark
must have thought so. for he
stopped the bout and shooed
Plummer away from Marvin, as
he writhed in the corner just in
front of our seats.
MIR. CLARK was billed as the
UI referee. 1 was glad to learn
that, for at several points in the
three matches 1 thought he was
wrestling himself. I expect the
most interesting moment in the
match took place outside the ring.
When Mr.. Plummer took one last
vicious twist at that arm, after
the bout had been stopped, and
went daShing of through the
crowd to his dressing room, he
had a follower.
1t was Marvin, a dark. perspir-
ing figure. with one arm swing
ing useleSSly. Marvin caught him
Just outside the crowd. I stood
on my chair. and I'm afraid 1
yelled something very unlady-like.
And I rejoiced when 1 heard
that he had caught Plummer from
behind. and knocked him down.
I wasn't the lady in the white
crepe dress with the huge crepe
buttons. I wasn't the lady in the
blue eyelet dress who shouted
Kill him." But 1 was the per-
son who surprised herself by Civ
ing Mr.. Plummer a singing slap
as he ran past her seat.
AS I said before, a news story
should be imperSonal. But when
you get that excited you forget
all about the proper newspaper
technique.
Editors Note-MrS. Lindsay is feet II

Plummer is feet 3 inches and weighs

A. A. U. Finals Tonight
The finals of the Herald-A. A.
U. golden gloves tournament at
Catholic University gymnasium
tonight should see a greatly in
creased turnout over Monday
nights attendance-for two
reasons.
The tedious preliminaries
which required nearly four
hours to run off have been dis
posed of and the cream of the
local amateurs have survived,
promising action Of the highest
type from the opening bell. Also
the gymnasium has had the
benefit of two days air cond1-
tioning which assures comfort
for the spectators and which
should also be of no little assist
ance to the fighters. All OF to-
nights bouts are scheduled for
five rounds.
The George Washington heavy
weight ace Dale Prather, who
disposed of Eddie Steele, of the
Marion A. c., in the preliml-
naries Monday night, is expected
to attract a lot of interest to-
night in his bout with Sammy
Bernstein, of the j. c. c., for
the local amateur championship.
Bernstein reached the finals in
view of his 412-minute defeat OF
the unattached Eddie Hughes.
Theirs will be the feature match
Of the evening.
Bortnick's Daring Dash
If sometimes at the local
wrestling matches you think
Benny Bortnick is big and cum
bersome around the ring just
because he obliterates your view
of the pachyderms, it would
have done your heart good to
see him strip to the core at Bay
Ridge last Saturday when three
men drowned in an airplane
plunge into Chesapeake Bay.
Benny, who only claims to be
a fair swimmer, was in the act
of officiating at some feature
mat matches which were a part
of the Board of Trade shad bake
entertainment program.
When the monoplane NC-42-H
plummetted into the water a
quarter of a mile from shore.
Bortnick leaped the ropes of the
ring, disrobed (at all costs) en-
route to the beach and plunged
into the surf for the long swim
to the mostly submerged plane.
His was a heroic gesture which
many Slighter man would have
thought twice before attempt
ing.
