FEENEY OPENS
SLOT MACHINE
WAR IN STATE
Calls in Police Heads and
Directs Seizures in
Rural Areas.

The entire Indiana State Police
force today was ordered by Al
Feeney, state safety director, to
wage war without discrimination
against what Mr.. Feeney described
as EXTENSIVE state slot machine bust
ness, a milllon-dollar racket.
At a conference in his Office at
tended by Capt. Matt Leach and his
three district leaders, Lieut.. Ray
Fisher, Lieut.. Ray Hinkle and Lieut..
Chester Butler, Mr.. Feeney ordered
all machines in the state outside In
dianapolis and larger cities seized.
City police will be responsible for
these latter.
His decision to make q sweeping
and sustained wal on the machines,
he told the police, was based on
several score of requests from many
sources that something be done
about the presence in hundreds of
stores and semi-public places of
machines which operate for as low
as a penny and as high as a quarter.
IIuuuCtS MANY ITobtSJS
He produced and showed to the
police letters he had received from
mothers who wrote that their chill
dren were losing, in machines near
their school buildings, money they
were given for luncheonS. He
showed letters from mayors of small
cities and towns who had found
their police forces inadequate to
cope with the situation and asked
the aid of the state police.
Other letters he showed or quoted
we're from ministers, school super
intendents, d g,e S, prosecutors,
parent-teacher groups and civic or
CARNATIONS who invariably described
hthe slot maehine condition as q
menace not only to the morals of
the young, but the safety of all.
Some of the letters pointed out
that slot machines are the causes
Of crimes superimposed on them in
the form of hi-jacking, armed rob-
berries of slot machines and other
crimes against property that in it
self is illegal.
Drive to Be Sustained
Mr. Feeney pointed out to the as
sembled officers that a great por-
ton of the complaints the state po-
lice are asked to investigate are
crimes against slot machines and
their owners or operators.
The Safety Director made it plain
to the police that ne intended the
drive to be continued for the entire
year and not to be undertaken mere
ly for a short time and then
dropped.
Attending the conference also was
Ralph Hanna, Deputy Attorney
General.

.|CKES DEFENDS
AIDS AGAINST
CUSTER MOVE
Bitter Dispute Within New
Deal Cabinet Barred by
Announcement.
PWA SLEUTHS INVOLVED
Swallowed Cabinet Officer Is
Hint: Denial Is Issued
by Roosevelt.
By United Press

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3. A
smouldering dispute in the New
Deal Administration famed this
afternoon with reports that Harold
l.. Ickes, Secretary of the Interior
had received a White House hint tc
discharge two of his closest adj
viSerS.
President Roosevelt and Mrs IckeS
Immediately denied published re-
ports that such a hint had been
given. The men involved are:
Louis R. CLAWS, chief investiga-
tor of the detective force organized
by Mr.. Ickes to protect PWA against
graft.
Ebert K. Burlew, who is Mr. Ickes
chief administrative assistant.
Quarrel Long Brewing
Bolstering the indications of in
ternal dissenSion is apparently
authoritative information that a
member of the Roosevelt cabinet
vas among those investigated by
Mr.. Ickes' detectives. Persons out
side the Administration have known
for some time of the investigation
of one of Mr.. Ickes' cabinet col
leagues.
The certainty of denial if the
Cabinet official were named prob
ably has been the major factor in
preventing publication of the story,
Mr.. R~ooSevelt's statement that he
had not suggested discharge of Mr.,
CLAWS or Mr.. Burlew disposes of
that phase of the situation. But the
background of dissension remains
undisturbed by Mr.. R~oosevelt's dis
claimer. Some observers are guess
ing that Mr.. IckeS would resign
rather than sacrifice either Mr..
CLAWS or Mr.. Burlew to the enemies
within the New Deal administrative
group or on Capitol Hill.
BalIinger Incident Recalled
There is considerab BILE COMPRESSION
al antagonism toward MIR. Burlew,
largely because of his service at the
Interior Department drring the
Coolidge and Hoover Administra-
tons. The Progressive congressional
element is hostile to him.
Mr.. CLAWS returned to Govern
ment service with the New Deal
25 years after he was discharged
from a job as chief Interior Depart
ment sleuth. He was let out after
denouncing an alleged illegal land
grab in Alaska by a Morgan-Gug-
genheim syndicate.
That dispute started the Bal
linger-Pinchot controversy which
wrecked the Taft Administration,
Mr.. Ballinger finally resigned and
his ruling in support of the Alaskan
land entries was reversed by his
successor.
Reported Called Absurd
Reports that the White House
has sought the custer OF Mr.. Bur
lew and MI. CLAWS are absurd" Mr..
Ickes said today. They look to me
like bushwhacking."
He said no changes were contem-
plated in the PWA organization so
far as Mr.. Burlew and Mr.. CLAWS
are concerned.
Publication of the report that Mr..
Roosevelt had intimated their dis
charge would be welcome was &C
cepted, however, as sufficient proof
that MI. Ickes, Mr.. CLAWS and Mr.,
Burlew have powerful enemies in
the New Deal administration and
that the fght-probably directed
largely 81 Alr. Ickes-is coming into
the oreI after months Of conceal
meLC.

Press to Publish Letters

DN GHlttU ffESN
NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-The COM
plete letters of Napoleon to his sec
ond empress, Marie Louise, will be
given to the public first in news
papers simultaneously throughout
the world, Monte F. Bourjaily, gen.
eral manager of the United Feature
Syndicate, announced today.
This is the second time within a
year that hitherto unpublished docu-
ments of great literary or historical
value have been made available to
the public through the newspapers"
Mr. Bourjaiiy pointed out. Early
in 1884 the United Feature Syndi-
cate obtained in London and sold to
newspapers publication rights in
Charles Dickens The Life of Our
Lord.
Dickens Feat Recalled
There are several points of re-
semblance between this and publica-
ton of the Dickens manuscript.
The Life of Our Lord was kept
a family secret by the Dickens fam
lily for IS years. Napoleon's letters
to Marie Louise were kept a family
secret by the Hapsburgs for 100
years.
Before the manuscript of these
letters was offered for sale at Soth-
eby's in London, a scattering of eX-
tracts was published in a catalog
and distributed by agents to pros
pective purchasers. Some of the ex-
cerpts were cabled and published
in the form of letters from Napoleon
to Marie Louise.
Aroused Great Interest
These meager gleanings from the
newly discovered Napoleoniana re-
vealed an interest in Napoleon which
caused us to contract with the
French government for the entire
collection of 318 letters.
Napoleon was a prolific letter
writer. Every possible Sourc had
been searched for a century, and it
was not believed that anything he
ever wrote could have remained a
secret. That is what makes this
find of an entirely unknown and I'M
suspected group of letters to Marie
Louise so intriguing.
Arrangements are now being
made for publication of the COM
plete letters in all civilized countries
and in newspapers Of every Ian
guage."

reinsurance that the nation is
emerging from Unprecedented social
and economic depression.
President Roosevelt viii deliver
his annual message to Congress be-
tween moor and B p. m. Friday,
he said today.
Mr.. Roosevelt revealed that the
finishing touches yet remained to
be placed on the message.
Meanwhile. he carried forward
plans for a meeting Friday night
with Congressional leaders, four or
five from each house. With them
he will review recommendations in
the message and go over in detail
the legislative picture Of the year.
The end of the week will see
Mr.. Roosevelt completing his budget
message which Congress will re-
ceive Monday.
Jobless Iirst Concern
UNEMPLOYMENT is the foremost
Administration concern as Con-
gressmen gather. Bound up IN the
plight of the iobless are problems
of relief, tagging industrial activity.
Federal spending and, in general, a
return To normal living conditions.
Controversy. Cliques and issues

fuses to pay now at a cost in excess
of s2.OOO,O 900 900.
House Leaders Uneasy
Uneasy House leaders plan 10 re-
vive strict rules abandoned three
years ago in an effort to check the
drive OF organized minorities for in
faticnary legislation to aid farm
debtors and depositors of closed
banks.
Congress Is but a day away from
the gavel taps which will open an
historic session, but the White House
has succeeded so far in conceallng
the legislative recommendations
upon which it will be asked to act.
Mr.. Roosevelt's care in keeping de-
tails of his program a secret reflects
White House fears that this Con-
gress NAV become unmanageable
unless dealt with cautiously.

The President will appear before
a Joint session of Congress shortly
after noon Friday TO read his mes
sage on the state of the nation. His
