u. S. Administration.

A total of $1,30O000 has been re-
ceived from the federal emergency
relief administration to conduct I'M

tons of the Governors commission
ON unemployment relief during
April. it was announced this morning
by the commission. The civil works
program in Indiana is scheduled to
end Saturday night.
It is planned to employ this grant
to cover costs of the new works di-
vision of the F'ERA in Indiana. The
money will be used to carry on a
program similar to that of the CWA
in the cities and introduce a rural
relief plan and carry on state poor
relief.
Present estimates anticipate that
the recent allotment will make it
possible to employ about $4,000 per-
sons during April. Industrial and
farm operations, it is hoped, will
assimilate the remainder of 1880
unemployed CWA workers.
A special meeting of the COM
mission tomorrow will be held to
plan means of following out in
structions of the emergency relief
administra ton. The new plan pro-
vides for rural rehabilitation efforts
in nonindustrial areas and towns
of less than 5000 Works projects
will go forward in the larger cities.
Although the CWA week ends
Thursday night, employees will be
permitted to work a total of fifteen
hours on Friday and Saturday, the
last two days of March, which will
be counted as a separate work week.

Mr.. Rainey said he considered it
desirable for members to study the
veto message before action on the
bill carrying veterans compensation
increases and partial federal pay
cut restoration. He predicted that
the veto would be sustained by the
house.
President Roosevelt indicated that
the veto would go to the Capitol
some time this afternoon.
Mr.. Roosevelt's theory in revising
the governments attitude toward
veterans benefits was to eliminate
entirely the practice of "presum-
ing" disabilities to be connected
with war service when in reality
they might have been incurred after
hoStilities had ceased or even after
discharge from the army or navy.
His message was concerned largely
with this system and was expected
to restate an earlier decision that
the administration was prepared to

priation bill, to which the veterans

ment pay reduction.
Both these matters, as well as
the appropriations for the indie

emergency relief units and even the
White House itself-will be held up
indefinitely by the veto.

pass it over the Presidents veto. If

WASHINGTON, March 81.
President Roosevelt will
call for temporary bids for
carrying the air mail, the
White House announced this
afternoon.
The President will go over the
proposals relating to temporary
contracts with postoffice officials in
a conference scheduled for this aft
ernoon.
He said the temporary bids would
be asked for Immediately. but de-
clined to amplify that brief an
nouncement.
Asked whether companies whose
contracts had been Cancelled as
result of the recent senate dis
closures would be permitted to sub
NIT bids. the only reply from the
White House was wait and see"
But inasmuch as practically all
major lines we're involved in the
cancellations. it was concluded that
they would of necessity have to be
included in any temporary set up
as there would be no time for re-
organizations.
President Roosevelt decided to re-
turn the air mail to private oper-
ators without waiting for passage Of
permanent legislation.
Administration forces in and out
of congress have split half dozen
ways on questions of permanent
policy.
Determined to get the army out
of the air mail business pernna-
nently and as soon as possible, Mr..
Roosevelt decided the only solution
was to return the mail to private
air lines on a temporary basis and
let the permanent legislation wait.
Those expected to confer with the
President included Postmaster Cen
eral James A. Farley. first assist
ant William w. Howes, second as
sistant Harllee Branch, General Su-
perintendent Airmail Stephen A.
Cisler and Solicitor Karl Crowley.

COLUMBUS, O., March 27.-Three
once powerful lieutenants in the
John Dillinger gang, all convicted
of murder, were hustled into the
Ohio prison here this afternoon
after a convoy of seventy-fve ma
tional guardsmen, deputy sheriff5
and police brought them on a fast
trip from Lima.
The armed caravan was met north
of Columbus by squadrons of police
and deputy sheriffs armed with ma
chine guns, rifles, shotguns and tear
gas,
The additional guards escorted the
cavalcade, which left Lima less than
three hours earlier, directly to the
stockade inside the prison walls.
Authorities said the 100-mile trip
from Lima was without incident.
The entire area surrounding the
prison was roped off to allow the
caravan to enter with delay from
downtown traffic.
The prisoners, Harry PierpOnt,
Charles Makley apd Russell Clark,
we're taken Immediately from the
separate automobiles in which they
had ridden and locked behind new
steel doors erected at the prison last
week.

taken to the death row to await
execution for the murder of Sheriff
Jesse L. Sarber at Lima last fall
when Dillinger was liberated from
the county Jail. Clark will serve a
life sentence.

Traitor Hunt Is On

hunt" as repercussions from the
charges of an Indiana schoolmaster
that members of the brain trust
were plotting a revolution, exploded
louder and over wider area. Some
of the hunters were in dead ear
nest; others had tongues in cheeks.
Congress was considering whether
to give the hunt official sanction.
In Chicago, Professor Harry Gid
eonse, University of Chicago eco
nomist, charged that DR.. William A.
Writ of Gary, Ind, was an organizer
of a lobbying organization" the

clared that his "outbulSt" was in

ton to the "lobby's desires"
Leg Pulled, Says Report
In New York, here. and elsewhere
members of the so-called brain
trust we're busy denying they had

Many thought it joke and a re-

leg" remarked that Mr.. Roosevelt
was the KerenSky of the revolution
and the Stain would come later.

master missed the point of the joke

ognized as one of the countrys
leading economists and a foe of the

his attack on the committee for the

T. S. Is ON Road to M0sco1U, City
Business Men Told by Steel Firm Head

president of the Detroit Steel Cast
ing Company, today told Indian
apolis business men that the con-
stitution must be. upheld, If this
country is to avert chaos.
Mr.. Utley spoke before the mem
bers of the Indianapolis district
branch of the National Metal
Trades Association at the Columbia
Club.
America was settled by those
who fed from the dictation of the
state: the American revolution was
a protest against government in
business; against the interference
of the king in the private affairs of
the people to obtain a fuller and
larger liberty.
The Roosevelt revolution is an
attempt to give the government the
dictation of all business; to place
bureaucracy in position to control
all human activities; to again make
the individual the creature of the
state and to turn the control of the
state over to a relatively few office
holders who thereby become gov
erning caste"
Mr.. Utley was impartial in con-
demning radical elements in both
the Republican and Democratic
parties.
1.-The most important of the
amazing pieces of legislation by
means of which the present revolu-
ton is being carried forward are
the banking and currency acts; the
security act; the farm mortgage
laws: the Tennessee Valley Au-
thority: the new railway act; the
agricultural adjustment act, and the
NRA.
Make no mistake" Mr.. Utley
concluded. "the revolution is upon
US. Unless We stay its hand. liberty
is gone. The time to dream has
passed. The time to fight has come

The binding together of the city
and country populations, of the
worshipers of Baal and of Jeho-
yah under David and Solomon
was a temporary thing made pos
sible only by the striking person.
alities of an exceptional warrior
and an unusual builder and wise
man. 1t costs money to maintain
armed forces and to construct
great buildings. Increased COM
merce is often at the expense of
the country people, and a resplen-
dent court is not always a JOY to
the farmer. Samuel foresaw all
this if we are to believe the eighth
chapter of first Samuel in which
he predicts that kings would bring
slavery and taxes and war.
The battle which had been
brewing for more than fifty years
broke out the moment Solomon
died. The tax burdened people
no longer had their imagination
fired by a great and wise man.
They saw their taxes instead of
the temple, and when Reheboam
was unable to furnish them either
with a program of reduced taxes
or commercial expansion, the
breakup was inevitable. The rich
er country to the north which had
been paying more than its share
of taxes and receiving less than
its share of glory withdrew. And
now in both kingdoms, but es-
pecially in the richer land of Is
rael, began that striking conflict
between Baal and Jehovah, be-
tween the commercial point of
view and the old-fashioned hill
mans attitude, and between the
kept priestly prophets attached to
the courts and those lion-hearted
independent prophets who first of
all historic men on this earth de-
nounced the way in which COM
mercial civilization so often en-
ables the rich to get richer at the
expense of the poor.
1t happens. fortunately it seems
to me, that the biblical record is
heavily loaded on the side of the
progressive independents. The
fight conducted against the stand
patters worshiping Baal and run
ming their commercial affairs &C
cording to ancient respectable
Canaanitish traditions in its in
ward essence is as Strikingly mod
dern as that between the Sons
of the Wild JackasS and Wall
Street. Of course today most
people thoughtlessly look on such
vigorous prophets as Elijah, Amos,
Micah and jeremiah as respect
able old grandfathers with long
white boards. AS a matter of fact.

Norris and at the time they made
