STAR STORE TO
MARK BIRTHDAY
TWo-Week Sale Feature
of 47th Anniversary
Celebration.

The Star Store today began a
tWO-Week sale in celebration
of the 47th anniversary of its found
ing by Louis Wolf and Myer Eff
roymson, who today are still its &C
tive proprietors.
Its site remains the same, but a
large and modern building has re-
placed the 15x75-foot room in which
the enterprise had its inception,
without benefit of clerks, phone,
cash registers, delivery trucks or
modern convenienceS.
In those days indianapolis had a
population Of $4,000. Then inter
urbanS were unknown. Farmers
would drive a full day to reach the
city from BrownSburg, Zionsville, or
Plainfield and would park" their
horses in livery stable while they
Shopped
Store hours were then from a. m.
to 8 p. m. daily, and until mid
night on Saturdays. The Star store
was the only store in the neighbor-
hood that did not remain open on
Sundays.
Many of the employees who opened
the store with the young founders
are still with it. T. E. WEIGH has
been shoe buyer Al years; o. j.
Farthing has been auditor 80 years,
and Mrs. Anna Redmond has been
in charge of the mems alterations
department for % years.

ASKED FOR
MANION WORK PLAN
MEG Director Seeks Aid
for State JobIeSS.

Suggestions for a permanent plan
for the unemployment of men in
small industries throughout Indi-
ana will be presented Monday to
officials in Washington by Clarence
G. Manion, Indiana National Emer-
gency Council director, and Marvin
Smith, Muncie manufacturer.
The chief purpose of the so-called
Indiana plan" will be to aid dis
tressed industries by furthering
reciprocal trade between merchants
and manufacturers within the state.
1t also will provide for the further
ALLEGATION of new products to closed
plants and the stimulation of ma
tional sales of Indiana made prod
ucts.
The plan is said to have the sup
port of business men throughout
the state and the Indiana Chamber
Of Commerce as a means of reduc-
ing unemployment and thus reduc-
ing the direct relief rolls. 1t is in
line, Mr. Manion says, with the gov
ernment's policy of abandoning di-
rect relief in favor of work relief
after Nov. l.

COY CRITICISM
NOT INTENDED
State Administrator Not to
Blame for Relief Costs,
VanNuyS Feels.
By Times Special

By Times Special
WASHINGTON, April 27.-Sched-
uled for a conference with Wayne
Coy, Indiana FERA administrator,
Senator Frederick VanNuys ex-
planned yesterday that in his recent
attack on the cost of administration
of poor relief in the state, he meant
no reflection upon the state admin
istrator.
MIR. Coy inherited the Setup and
the whole idea of taking poor re-
lief away from township trustees
and turning it over to highly paid
social welfare workers was forced
on Indiana by Harry l.. Hopkins,
national FERA Administrator" Sen
ator VanNuys said.
There is plenty of sentiment in
the Senate against the Hopkins
method. Senators feel that he has
taken the opportunity to reward his
own profession, having spent his life
in professional social welfare work.
L feel that the township trustees
were doing as good a job at far less
expense for administration"
Mr.. Coy corrected figures for Gen.
ter Township administration made
public recently by the Senator in
aSSailing the state administration.
He showed that they did not include
work-relief and that Indiana's adj
miniStration costs are among the
lowest of any state in the country.
Mr.. Coy is here with Virgil Sim
mons, conservation chief, holding
conferences regarding the states
part in the new works-rehef setup.
Thus far plans have not been clari-
fed sufficiently to make any def
mite announcement regarding them.
Mr.. Coy said.
Both held conferences with Sen
ator Sherman Minton. Mr.. Sim
mons also called at the office Of
Senator VanNuys.

By United Press

ny CNllGU HJGSS
CHICAGO, April 27.-The Illinois
Emergency Relief Commission today
ordered relief stations serving more
than 100000 persons to close Tues
day night because of lack of funds
The order will halt disbursal of
relief in all of Illinois except Cook
County, where money for 10 days
additional service was provided by
sale Of poor relief bonds.
Gov. Henry Horner attended the
conference at which the order was
drafted and issued a formal appeal
for a mobilization of private funds
to avert enormous suffering"
Financial difficulties of the I'LL
nois Relief Commission resulted from
refusal Of the State Assembly to
provide 100000 monthly to match
Federal funds at a ratio of to l.
Legislators disputed the necessity CT
such a sum and baked at in
creasing the sales tax from per
cent to per cent to obtain it.
Harry Hopkins, Federal Relief
Administrator, describing Illinois as
"a pain in the neck" notified the
ZERO weeks ago that unless the state
provided its quota of funds he would
allot it nothing after April 30.
Relief clients of four downstate
counties were thrown on their own
resources two days ago because the
states inStallment for the last half

CITY MAY ASK
EARLY BIDS ON
NATURAL GAS
Fuel May Be Piped Here
After Purchase of
Citizens Co.

A supply of natural gas may be
brought to Indianapolis ard dis
tributed through the facilities of the
Citizens Gas Co., after the proposed
acquisition of the company by the
city, it was announced yesterday by
Mayor John w. Kern following a
conference with the trustees and
directors of the City Utilities Dis
trict.
Although no definite decision was
reached on the subject, the posi-
bility of asking for competitive
bids on the natural gas to be piped
to the city gates was considered.
1t was not decided whether the
gas to be distributed by the pro-
posed municipally-owne company
would be entirely natural or mix
ture of natural and manufactured
gaSe,. Should a mixture be used it
is possible that a flexible gas rate
may be inaugurated, Mayor Kern
said. In this case, more natural
gas would be used at times when
the coke price is high.
Natural gas, or a mixture of it
with manufactured gas, would result
in much lower gas rate than is
now paid, Mayor Kern said. Regi-
Maid H. Sullivan, former mayor, at
tended the conference TO assist with
details of the gas situation with
which he had become familiar dur
ing his administration.
The belief that the proposed
100000 revenue bond issue to fl
nance the purchase of the company
would be sold was expressed by the
district officials following the con-
ference. The bids of financial
houses for the bond issue will be
opened May 4, according to present
plans.
