Being an agreeable person I usu1
ally find it unnecessary to voice OBJ
;ections to what 1 read or hear.
1t is much to my regret to findI
or perhaps I should say be remind
ed of the fact. that there exist peo-I
pie illiterate enough to write or
quote statements such as that which,
you published in your Message Cen
ter of May II written by G. c..
1t would please me very much to
have the opportunity to suggest to
G. c. that it is very unbecoming to
expose ones personality to the pub
lie in such biological manner.
Since reading this message nave
been wondering what sort Of a stu
por or coma G. c. has been in dur
ing the last 20 or 30 years. I have
heard of animals alternating but
never human beings other than Rip
Van Wrinkle.
would like to ask c. c. If he or
she ever witnessed or heard of a
Democratic Administration leaving
Office with the morals ana finances
as high as when it went into Of
flee.
fully agree with C. c. in stating
that President Roosevelt is a Won
derful man. Even more so 1 think
Of him as one of the finest men I
have ever known. But when a per-
son states that he has helped this
United States of ours and that the
present Democratic Administration
is helping this United States, all
that I can recommend is a mental
examination for the party making
the utterance.
I think I should congratulate The
Times on securing this subscription
because I don't think C. C. ever
read a newspaper until recently.

SOUTH SIDE DOES NOT
NEED LARGER GOLF COURSE
By a South Side Taxpayer.

BY a South Side Taxpayer.
I have just read an editorial
what Price Fealty?" I am a South
Side resident and taxpayer and
heartily disagree with every word
you have written.
In the first place, your article has
a tendency to create sectional strife
between North Side and South Side
citizens which should never be adj
vocated as we expect to get things
done on the South Side.
In the second place, the park site
mentioned is not a North Side prof.
ect. but is for the Negroes, west.
The establishment Of parks and
Fairgrounds in Negro communities
is the finest thing that can be done
for indianapolis as it helps to keep
down racial troubles. Think this
over and you will understand why.
On Page 2 of the South Side
Press you claim to be the official
publication of the Central Com
mittee of South Side Civic Clubs.

a member of this organization. l
also play golf on Sarah Shank
course. I am one of many South
Siders who are against the acquisl-
ton of ground necessary to make
Sarah Shank an 18-hole course
and I'll tell you why.
am told by the Chamber of
Commerce and local daily press
that Indianapolis now has more
municipal golf courses than any
city in America in proportion to
population, more than some cities
several times the size Of Indian
apolis. We now have six courses
which occupy large part Of the
entire park acreage. IN addition to
several private courses for our citi-
zens. l am also told that there are
not more than 1000, probably con-
siderably less. golf players using the
municipal courses. while there are
at least 100000 to $4,000 persons
who use the parks and Fairgrounds.
And there is a crying need for ad-
ditional parks and Fairgrounds in
all parts of the city to keep chill
dren off the streets to prevent &C
cidentS and loss Of life.
don't believe you could select
a more inopportune time to ad-
vocate the reconstruction of Sarah
Shank golf course. 1t would mean
an increase of l to 2 cents in the
city tax rate, which is now too high
and we simply do not need this
extra luxury" I would be willing
to bet you odds that the State Tax
Board would not approve it any
way. Anybody will sign a petition
to get something for the South
Side, without even thinking of the
cost and no doubt you may have
hundreds of signatures asking for
this improvement. When you ana
lyze the situation, however, it
doesn't mean a thing I believe
1t is very unwise thing to try to
force the city administration to in
cur this very unnecessary and ex-
pensive luxury at this time.
Before going further, I would
suggest that you call meeting of
South Side taxpayers and ascertain
whether even a small percentage
Of them will support such a move
ment. I. for one, will fight it to
finish. I am prefectly willing to
pay more taxes to provide play
grounds and parks, which are a real
necessity. but We have too many
golf courses now as compared with
the large numbers Of persons who
need things more important.

RELIEF BILL IS
 VERY NECESSARY

Washington, Jan. Sf.--UP).- Congress must pass President Roosevelt's $880,O0O,O 1000 relief bill before Feb. 10 If federal unemploy. ment aid is to continue after that date.
 Emergency Relief Administrator Harry l.. Hopkins has only $5O,- 900, 100000 on hand, one-third of the $150.000,000 he will need 10 provide food, clothing and shelter Tor the nations estimated 19,900,- 00O needy during the next four weeks.
 Hopkins is spreading out thinly as possible in all states, placing tn. relief burden in proportion to their ability to bear 1t.
 President Roosevelt is aiding him. He transferred $50, ,0O0, GOO from the now defunct civil works administration fund to relief, and added $20,000,000 from the Re- construction Finance Corporation. He Is pushing for speedy passage of his huge relief measure.
 The plan Is for gradual curtail- ment of federal relief expenditures as the presidents $A,0O0, ,0OO, 900 public works bill, also pending in the senate. gives employment. Hopkins has estimated his work will be done by July, 1936.
 He said federal relief expendt- tures will reach a peak of $160,- OO0,00O a month during February and March, then decrease as the new public works program takes erect and spring alleviates winter suffering.

New York, Jan. 31.-CUP).-- Sale of six paintings from the col- lection of J. F. Morgan for about $1,500,O00 was announced today with Edsel Ford, son of the motor magnate, reported as one buyer. Spirited bidding by long distance telephone and dispatch of photo graph of one of the paintings to an art collector 500 miles distant fea- tured the sale. Prices paid and the names of buyers were not an- nounced by Knoedler & Co., art dealers, who acted as Morgan's agent in the sale.
 Most famous of the six was Domenico Ghirlandaio's Portrait of Giovanna Tornabuoni," which was understood to have been bought by Ford for approximately $500,000. Three others were sold to private collectors and two were purchased by the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

WiU Blast Carlstron, Asserts Prosecutor
State Claims to Have Material to Smash Evidence
 Given By Former Waterbury Resident
aauptmann was arrested.
 His Testimony Differ


 Carlstrom also said he saw Mrs Hauptmann in the restaurant -four or five times a week." Mrs Haupt- mann testified that the only nights she was in the Frederiksen bakery were Tuesday and Friday - the nights Mrs Frederiksen did not work.
 Attorney General David T. Will entz expected to keep Carlstrom on the stand for not more than half an hour.
 He said Carlstrom had been tangled in so many contradictions he would have to go further only for the purpose of carrying out the contemplated plan of bringing perjury action.
 The defense promised to bring forth at least four alibi witnesses, all of whom. they said, would be "far better than the Hochmuths. the Hildegarde Alexanders and the Cecile Barrs'' of the state.
 What Others Said
 Amandus Hochmuth testified he saw Hauptmann in an automobile on the road to the Lindbergh home on the day of the Kidnapping. Miss Alexander said she saw Haupt- mann spying on Dr John r. Con don in the Fordham railroad sta ton in New York. Mrs Barr, cash fer at the Loew's Sheridan Square theater, in New York City. said Hauptmann offered her 8 $5 Lind- bergh ransom bill in payment for Q 40-cent ticket.
 C. Lloyd Fisher, associate de- fense counsel said his colleagues were undetermined whether to call Walter Manley as the first witness to-day, or to call four hand writing experts.
 Manley also is ready to testify that he saw Hauptmann outside of the ,Frederikscn bakery on the night of the Kidnapping while Hauptmann was taking the Fred eriksen's police dog for walk.
 We also have about four hand writing experts" Fisher said, "whe have been staying around here at great expense and who would like to give their testimony as soon as possible"

ROMAN CANDLES
 WHIPPED BIRDS

Philadelphia--(UP)- fire- works display recently staged for the purpose of removing the thou- sands of starlings from around the library here, seems to have been successful.
 Last month the library staff gathered around the building and let loose barrage of Roman can- dies. Much to the discomfort of the birds. Today the birds look askane at the inviting caves of the building and then fly on to other places where they are treated more cordially. Their main ,loca- ton of habitatiot is now the Acad- erny of music.
 Starlings are not averse to noise --they love it--but the. Roman candle stunt was too much. They didn't like the sudden noise c0upl- ed with the blinding colored light.

NCOpyfABnt lVO0 ny OHAVeu ErcsSl Fiemington, N. J., Jan 31--(U. P. P.)--New Jersey has the material to blast sky-high Ebert Carl strom's sensational alibi for Bruno Richard Hauptmann, the United 1 Press was informed to-day. Carlstrom, an unemployed car penter, electrified the courtroom yesterday by insisting he saw Hauptluann in the Bronx bakery where his wife was employed the night of March 1, 1892 when the Lindbergh baby was stolen in Hopewell, N. J.
 The state planned to detain as a material witness Esther Ellerson, alleged "girl friend" of Carlstrom who was said to be an intimate friend of Hauptmann's wife, Anne: Prosecution staff members hinted Carlstrom might be charged with perjury when his cross- examina- vid T. Walentz to-day.
 Carlstrom Bitterly Attacked
 Wiientz yesterday bitterly assail- ed the 27.year-old Swedish immi- grant as q liar. Justice Thomas w. Trenchard, presiding, took occasion to remark his testimony was "of 8 wavering nature" Last night New Jersey and New York police and federal agents checked his record, particularly any connection with tho Hauptmann family. They were understood to have located the girl friend'' whom Carlstrom identified from the stand only as Esther"
 Carlstrom testified he had known Mrs Hauptmann only as a waitress in the bakery of Christian Fred eriksen and had known Hahpt- mann not at all. He remembered 1t was March he saw Hautpmann there because it was his birthday and Hauptmann laughed at his &C., cent, he said. Later he was forced to admit he had been employed at the Majestic Apartments where Hauptmann had been employed, but denied their employment was concurrent. He still was maintain ing his story when court adjourn ed until this morning.
 Mrs Hauptmann Knew Her
 Meanwhile, Mrs Hauptmann had been whispering to friends at the defense counsel table. They were discussing the girl friend whom Carlstrom testified he had gone to the Bronx March l, 1892 to see. Mrs Hauptmann was heard to re- mark:
 "I knew her we'll"
 Edward J. Reilly, Hauptmann's chief counsel, was annoyed at the prosecution attack upon Carlstrem. He threatened to produce enough defense witnesses te keep the trial going Into April"
 The state planned to press its in- quiry into two extremely signifi- cant statements made by Carl stronn. The first was that he never had seen Hauptmann in F'rederik- sen's bakery before March 1, the second that he denied friendship with Mrs Hauptmanh, who accord Ing to information in the prosecu- tion's hands, was one of Miss Eller- sons closest friends.
 Carlstrom testified that he saw q picture immediately after Haupt- mann's arrest of Coiinseilor Reilly, with the prisoner. Reilly did not enter the case until weeks after
