FEENEY SLATED
FOR MELOY JOB
MorrisSey May Replace
Safety Director, Is
Indication.

Al G.. Feeney, state safety director
will be appointed United States
Marshal and be succeeded by Police
Chief Mike MorriSey in the state
post, according to reports gaining
credence this afternoon.
Mr.. Feeney, at odds for some time
with Pleas Greenlee, the State Ad-
ministration Patronage chic f,
gained his appointment through the
influence of United States Senator
Frederick Van Mugs.
The last two days fight in Wash
ington between Senator Van Mugs
and Governor Paul v. McNutt over
the latter's alleged grab at con-
gressional patronage, is said to have
brought the Feeney situation to a
head.
The term of ALI Meloy, Repub-
hcan and present marshal, expires
early next year. Senator Van Mugs
had designated Omer S. Jackson
now Democratic state chairman, for
the post. However, Mr.. jackson has
not been mentioned since his selec-
tor as state chairman.
Mayor Elect John w. Kern has
recommended to the city Safety
Board the retention of Chief Nor
rissey. If he should take over the
state safety dictatorship, as rumors
persist, it is reported Capt. John
Mullen will be appointed city police
chief.

INDIANA OBSERVES
18TH ANNIVERSARY
Programs Held in Every
State Community.

One hundred and eighteen years
ago today, Dec. IL, President James
Madison approved a congre ssional
act providing that Indiana become
the 10Th state in the United. States.
Every community in Indiana is
celebrating the event with appro-
pirate programs. In a proclamation
Gov. Paul v. McNutt said that
statehood, which came only after
five-year fight for recognition
marked the end of two centuries
and more of strife and uncertainty
in the Indiana region which Indians
had made a hunting grounds and
battlefield.
"The building of the state has
been the work of generations of
men and women, worthy of being re-
membered," he said, who opened
the wilderness to settlement, estab-
lished means of travel and trans
portation with the rest of the world,
developed diversified cultivation of
the earth, built factories and made
memorable contributions to science,
to the arts and to letters"

SLAIN MINISTER
STILL UNBURIED
The Rev. Gaylord Saunders
Body Kept in Receiving
Vault Here.

The body of the Rev. Gaylord v.
Saunders, for whose murder his
wife, Mrs. Neoma Saunders, is on
trial for her life In Lebanon, never
has been buried, it was learned this
afternoon.
Since Mrs. Saunders went to the
mortuary of Register g. Askin, 1902
N. Meridian street, shortly after the
murder and left funds for the burial
the body has. remained in a sealed
receiving vault.
According to Clifford G. Askin,
funeral director, the slain min
ister's body has not been buried be-
cause of instructions received by him
from coroner William e. Arbuckle.
Today Coroner Arbuckle said he
had presumed the body had been
buried at Wabash, Ind, where Mr..
Saunders had been pastor of the
Wabash M. E. church.
Prosecutor Herbert E. Wilson,
whose Office is prosecuting Mrs.
Saunders and Theodore (Ted)
Mathers, on charges of murder, said
he understood that for a short
time after the murder, the body
had been held by the police author
tiles pending Investigations to de-
termine whether or not the min
lister had beer poisoned and then
shot.
According to Mr. Askin, the min
ister's body was brought to his
Meridian-st mortuary by police. Mrs.
Saunders called, he said, and left
the money. While she was in the
mortuary arranging for the burial,
he said, detectives took her to police
headquarter for questioning.
Originally, according to Mr.. Askin,
plans had been made for cremation
of the body.
This, according to the funeral
director, was not permitted by Chief
Mike Morrisey and Coroner Ar
buckle, who directed retention of
the body in the sealed receiving
vault.
Prosecutor Wilson agreed with the
coroner that as far as their offices
are concerned there is no necessity
for holding the body in connection
with the prosecution of Mrs. Saund--
erS.

Blizzard Hits Chicago
BIZ United Press

CHICAGO, Dec. 11.-Winter made
a freakish checkerboard of the
United States today. A blizzard 20
miles square struck Chicago, ocean
liners plowed into New York hours
late in mountainous seas, snow flew
over the southland and temperatures
plummeted as far west as the
Rockies. Twenty snowplows and
1000 men had made only slight i'm
preston this morning on IL inches
of snow which tied Chicago traffic
into knots while suburbs on three
sides of the city basked in sunlight.
Three men died and a policeman
lost both legs in a traffic accident
in the storm, which the weather bu-
reau characterized as the most
severe in six years. Snow drifted
four feet deep on Michigan-blvd,
Lake Shore-dr, Sheridan-rd and
South Shore at the height of the
rush hour last night.
Thousands of motor cars, wheels
spinning helplesSly or sparks weak
ened by snow sitting through radi-
ators, stalled on arterial highways.
The blizzard centered on the
Loop and extended no more than
IS miles in any direction except the
South.
Thermometer readings fell stead
lily, while in states all around
Weather Bureau forecasters pre-
dicted rise. The temperature this
morning was 10 above zero, a drop
of eight degrees in II hours.

80 POLICE DETAILED
TO GUARD SHOPPERS
Pickpockets and ShopIifterS
to Be Watched.

To protect shoppers from pick
pockets and merchants from shop
lifters, Police Chief Mike Morrissey
today assigned 80 policemen and
policewomen to the downtown area.
They were instructed to keep a
sharp watch for any irregularities.
Thirty-eight of them are in uni
form and others in plain clothes.
Downtown merchants have lost
thousands of dollars worth of mer-
chandise through the activities of
shoplifters who work under the
cover of large crowds.
Chief Morrissey reiterated that he
has instructed his men to be leni-
ent with shoppers who may park
overtime through an error in CAL
culation, giving them an overtime
allowance. but that there would be
no cases of all-day parking without
being tagged.

GENEVA, Dec. 11.-An interna-
tional crisis that had been growing
graver and graver for nine weeks
since a Croatian terrorist shot King
Alexander of Yugoslavia at Marseille
was liquidated today and European
fears of an imminent war were
dispelled for the moment.
A Yugoslavian charge that Hun
gary was morally responsible for
Alexander's murder was placed in
the realm of diplomacy as opposed
to the challenge of battle after a
brief, strained session of the League
Council.
Both the Yugoslavian and Hun
garian delegates expressed satisfac-
ton with terms of a resolution
adopted by the Council in which
Hungary is asked to take inarns-
date and appropriate punitive &C.

forecast continued fair weather,
with slowly rising temperature to-
night and tomorrow.
At l p. m. the mercury had risen
IA degrees, to 20. The lowest tenn
perature expected tonight is 10
above zero.
The frigid weather brought suf-
fering to hundreds of poor fam
lilies, welfare organizations being
flooded with requests for fuel and
warmer clothing.
Scores of motorists were unpre-
pared for the sudden drop in tenn
perature and Steaming automobile
radiators were numerous.
Motoring continued hazardous,
pavements being glazed with ice as
result of the week-end's heavy
snowfall. Increased business was
reported on street cars and buses
as result of motorists leaving their
cars in their garages.
The lowest official reading in the
State was at Marion, where the
Government thermometer regis
tered l below early today. Fl.
Wayne reported 4 above, and Terre
Haute and Evansville II above.
Transportation service was slowed
up but not enough to create any
particular hardships.
All State highways are open for
traffic, the highway commission re-
ported, although many of them
have been made hazardous by ice.
The worst conditions prevail in
the northwest and southwest sec
tons. La Porte reported ice on the
north of Road 80. The
FIT. Wayne district reported roads
clear with the exception of icy
stretches in the vicinity of Goshen
and South Bend. Ice and three
inches of snow were reported from
the VincenneS district.
