CALL TRUCE IN
BIDDING BATTLE
State Library Commission
Decides to Let Code
Heads Rule.

The battle that has ragged about
the ears of the State Library Build
ing Commission in connection with
bidding on 1900 transfer cases for
the new State Library had reached
truce today.
Herbert Kenney, president of the
commission, announced that bidders
would have to take their troubles to
the proper code authorities for final
settlement, and that the Business
Furniture Co. voucher for $3303 had
been approved.
Competitors had protested the
award on the grounds that the price
was code violation. kilograms
from code authorities in Cleveland
to Mr.. Kenney had charged an
apparent" violation and an "ad-
mitted" violation
But officials of the Business Fur
niture Co. and the Berger Manufac-
turing Co., makers of the cases, we're
vehement in their denials of a code
violation, and the commission finally
decided to go ahead with the orig
inal decision and let code author
tiles settle the issue.

STENCIL ATTACK IS
MADE ON THEATER
MaIodorous Liquid Squirted
Into Auditorium.

Some one last night squirted a
malodorous liquid between the
cracks of the front door of the
Fountain Square Theater, HOS Shell
by-st, it was reported to police to-
day.
The liquid reached the auditorium
of the theater, and fumes there
were sitting, police reported. The
vandals waited until the theater
had closed before visiting it.
Police believed the incident
might be a signal of new labor
troubles in neighborhood theaters.
They said it has been custom of
aggreived employees, or their repre-
sentativeS, to use some such method
of discouraging patronage of
theaters they believe unfair to
them. The theater manager told
The Times today his theater was
completely unionized and that the
attackers may have been aiming at
a non-union organization in the
same building.

feel certain that Fred g. Kennedy,
assistant fire chief, is being consid-
cred strongly as the successor to
Fire Chief Harry E. Voshell, who
may be named battalion chief.
Floyd j. Mattice, chief deputy
prosecutor under Herbert E. Wilson,
now superior judge ELECT, probably
will receive the post of city attor-
ney. Political observers had been
surprised in the past that there had
been no mention Of any appoint
ment for Mr.. Mattice, generally
considered the best trial lawyer on
Mr.. Wilson's staff.
For the last three days, Mr.. Mat
tice has been consulting with City
Attorney James E. Deery, who prob
ably will become City Corporation
Counsel, in an important case
against the city. This was the first
indication of the probability of his
appointment. Michael B. Redding-
ton, Young Mems Democratic Club
president. active in the last cam
paign. probably will be Assistant
City Attorney.
Reports indicate the Works Board
will be composed of Hubert S. Riley,
Democrat. present Safety Board
member; Louis G. Brandt, present
Works Board member, and possibly
Robert K. Eby, Republican, attorney.
Walter c. Boetcher, present Works
Board president and Democratic
county chairman, has been men
toned prominently for the post Of
City Controller.
There is much talk of other pos
sible appointments, but the only
other job with an apparently sure

probable choice.

ule. Reduction in consumption, &C
cording to the commission, has re-
duced revenGies of the company

The commission also approved a

US. Wealthy
Are Warned to
Change Ideas

By United Press
NEW YORK, Dec. ga challenge
to take the lead in forming new
social policy for America was held
out today to the nations $4,000
wealthiest families.
Henry A. Wallace, Secretary of
Agriculture, warned that unless
those families enjoying annual in
comes of more than 5000 avoided
the errors of the Bourbons OF
France, the social pyramid would
be inverted and woe and anguish
would ensue.
THE vast majority" Mr.. Wallace
said, "of the wealthy $4,000 families
acts as an instructive, almost unani-
nous unit in opposing class pro-
posals brought to the front by Agri-
culture and Labor. They are ex-
cellent critics of proposals brought
forward by other classes, but when
it CONES to getting together on con-
5tructive proposals for national
policy they srem to be able to agree
On nothing more profound than
such catch phrases as balance the
budget and return to the gold
standard"

-McNutt Steps in, HaltS

Democratic members of the COM
ing General Assembly today met in
caucus at the Claypool to organize
under administration leadership.
Representative Edward Stein,
Bloomington, was to be chosen
Speaker of the House; Senator
Jacob Weiss, indianapolis, was to be
named President pro tenn. of the
Senate.
Before the voting, the legislators
were to hear an address by Gov.
Paul v. McNutt, whose influence
was necessary last night to halt an
incipient rebellion against the pro-
gram to name Senator Weiss.
Senators Alanson L. Albright,
Cayuga, and Willard M. Anderson,
Martinsville, were leaders of the re-
bellion, which ended precipitately
after conference between Pleas
Greenlee, the Governors patronage

House majority leader, Rep. Frank
G.. Thompson, Bluffton; majority
caucus chairman in the House, Rep.
John Napier Dyer, Vincennes; Sen
ator Harry F. Schricker, Knox, ma
jority caucus leader in the Senate.

Snow Covers City

A gentle snow today covered Indl-

Not much good for coasting, but
with full artistic value, the snow
was a part of a general fall that
also visited nine other Mid-Western
and Far Western states.
Indiana, in general, experienced
local SHOWS and they will continue
through tomorrow, the Weather
Bureau predicted. There will be
no decided change in temperature
in the next "a hours, and the snow
will not reach any considerable
depth.
A north wind is not expected to
increase appreciably in velocity. The
lowest temperature in the "a hours
was 20, at s, and a. m. AT 9,

URGES STATE
MERIT SYSTEM
Called Necessity for Good
Government at Session
of Women Voters.
BIZ United Press

The application of the merit sys-
tenn in the state governments was
called necessity last night by DR..
Leonard D. White, member of the
United States Civil Service Commits
sion, who declared that unless the
states developed stronger Civil
Service they would lose out in the
race for power now going on be-
tween them and the Federal Gov
eminent.
DR.. White, former University of
Chicago professor, was principal
speaker at the annual dinner of
the Indiana League of Women Vot-
ers at the indianapolis Athletic
Club.
The Indianapolis Times long has
urged application of Civil Service
standards and protection, particu-
larly to the State Police and the
penal service.
Mrs. Thomas D. Sheerin, 1880
Central-av, temporary chairman of
the meeting introduced Mrs. Rich
ard Edwards, Peru, Ind, chairman
of the Leagues merit system COM
mittee.
Mrs. Edwards said that the adop-
ton of the merit system would
bring about more dignified public
service, attract better men to public
office and increase the confidence
of the American people in their
government. One good result of the
depression, she said, has been the
fact that a higher type of young
man has been attracted into the
Government service.
THE great need in Indiana is for
public personnel management
with appointment under the merit
SYSTEM" Mrs. Edwards declared.
With this service in operation at
tractive, honorable and remunera-
tive careers would be open for young
men of the state"

Yugoslavian Hungarian dis
pute to the regular meeting
of the council in January.
But a Hungarian memorandum
replying to Yugoslavian charges
that the assassins of King Alex
ander of Yugoslavia were sheltered
on Hungarian territory was to be
published tonight, and it was feared
this would bring new outbreak
of bitterness.
Aligned with Yugoslavia against
Hungary, and talking in war-like
terms, were Czechoslovakia and Ru-
mania, fellow members of the Little
Entente with Yugoslavia and Tur-
key.
So far Hungary stood alone, but
with Great Britain, France and
Russia working for peace.
Italy, vitality interested in any
dispute involving Yugoslavia, was
silent.
1t was authoritatively Indicated
even before the Yugoslavian expul~
sions that Italy would support
Hungary against charges of respons-
sibility for the Marseille assassina-
ton. 1t was indicated also that
if Yugoslavia's charges were over
strong, Italy would call attention
to monuments on Yugoslavian soil
to terrorists who precipitated the
World war by assassinating Arch
duke Franz Ferdinand of Austria
Hungary.
What would happen if there
were a real clash of arms between
Hungary and YugoSlavia, the pow
ers did not like to visualize.
