ID INNING his staff with a
~ hand of IRON" Charley CARL
was a perfect city editor, if only
for one reason. He knew, and
knows, everybody in indianapolis.
Whenever a reporter looked at
him puzzled, Charley would bark
out his orders like signals. He
knew just who to call and half
the time he knew the phone num-
berS.
An impatient soul, Mr.. CARL
had little use as city editor for
the reporter who likes to sit on
the desk and tell his story first.

Getting to be "too hot" to keep
on the street, young Mr.. CARL was
moved into the Office to become
rewrite man. Later he was pro-
noted to assistant city editor.
Right then, Charley decided
he'd like to become an advertising
magnate. He quit The Times and
joined local advertising firm.
He was scheduled to invade the
state of Washington on a million
dollar lumber campaign, but the
stock market cracked wide open
right then and Charley found the
lumber industry had Splintered up
into nothing.
So, instead, he was put on a

TRUE to Times tradition,
Il Charles E. CARL Jr. is an In

Beville avenue and he went to
grade schools 80 and 43, and was
graduated from Shortridge.
He attended Butler college, In

school on scholarships and for
feited a Rector scholarship to De
PAW to enter the employ of an
other Indianapolis newspaper as
a copy boy.

NRA PROGRAM LAUDED
BY MINERS COUNSEL
Kiwanis Speaker Describes Efforts
for Collective Bargaining.

Struggle of labor to obtain the
right of collective bargaining was
described yesterday by Henry War
rum, general counsel for the United
Mine Workers of America, at the
Kiwanis Club luncheon in the Clay
pool.
He lauded the NRA and said that
all America was proud of its
achievements. He stated that the
program was not complete, but
merely aimed to take up the slack
in employment and provide an OPP
portunity for industry to establish
a code of operation for fair trade
practices.

OfTennessee,
SuccumbS

CHAPEL HILL, Tenn, July 3.
Arrangements were being made
here today for the burial Of
former Governor Henry HI Hor-
ton, whose two-year battle for
life ended yesterday. The ex-
governor died at his Marshall
county farm.
Mr.. Horton became governor
in 1927 at the death of Gov
ernor Austin Peay and was
elected for two additional
terms. His last term was a
stormy one, marked by a finan-
cial debacle which involved the
failure Of the gigantic Cald-
well and Company.
An attempt to try him on
an impeachment charge of mis-
use of State funds met with
failure.
