police, particularly. should remain
free from political control. am
able to say without fear of contra
diction that until today the Gov
ernor never has reprimanded me for
any action in connection with my
official duties, has never reversed a
decision I have made and has never
told me that my work was unsatis-
factory.
Naturally, my dismissal, for it is
nothing more than that, seems
rather unusual coming as it does
without a moments notice, without
a hearing and my only notification
from members of the press.
Work Nearly "UnbearabIe"
"The Governor knows that my
work has been made almost unbear-
able by unwarranted interference
with my men by his own secretary
whom the Governor found it neceS-
sary to rebuke several times for
preSuming to order state police on
political errands even at a time
when Dillinger and his gang were
terrorizing the Middle West. The
Governor knows that his own sec
rotary went so far as to order me to
discharge men for refusing to sub
nit to his threats and who preferred
to risk their jobs rather than VIC
late their oathS of Office.
IF, as I understand, the Cover
nor intimates the state police are
somewhat disorganized, am not so
surprised; in fact 1 am surprised
that the men functioned as they
did with almost perpetual rumors
of my discharge persisting for two
years when one word from the Gov
ernor would have aided the morale
of the department greatly"

Highest Possible
Wage Sound Plan

WASHINGTON. June Is. (UP)
Harper Sibley, president of the U.
s. Chamber of Commerce, last
night said in a radio speech that
american business is fully COM
mitted to the philosophy that the
payment of wages as high as bust
ness operations can possibly per-
nit constitutes sound business
practice and makes for national
prosperity"
Sibley, here for the regular
summer meeting of the camber's
board of directors, said that bust
ness men in maintaining code reg.
ulations without the NRA had
given "a practical demonstration
of their readiness to accept their
responsibilities and of their re-
sourcefulness in meeting new con-
ditions."

A BIT OF FLETCHERIZING

a BOUT two decades ago the late Horace
n Fletcher won fame and following by urg-
ing people to chew each mouthful of food, as
we recall it, 40 times. His multiple mastica-
ton idea came to be known in the diction-
airy as "Fletcherism."
Another of the same name, Chairman
Henry P. Fletcher of the Republican National
Committee, seems to have adapted the idea
to political pabulum for the ailing c. O. P. In
speech Monday night he told his conception
of 1.-The fundamental issue for 1896. 1t was
that favorite of the conservatives since John
MarShallS time-"The Constitution"
ut has been wisecracked," he said, that
you can not eat the Constitution. You can't.
and you can't eat the Bible, or the Golden
Rule or the Ten Commandments, or the deed
to your property, or your life insurance policy,
or the laborer's contract with his employer,
whether made individually or by collective
bargaining"
No. you can't eat the Constitution, but you
can chew it over every election for 40 times
and more.

THE CRIME WAVE

MORE than a little amusing was Mayor
4NA John w Kern's statement yesterday fol-
lowing a conference with Chief Mike Nor
rissey that more detectives have been assigned
to the current crime wave in Indianapolis and
that the matter was now under control"
Mayor Kern apparently does not read the
newspapers as closely as he should, else he
would know very well that the crime wave is
by no means under control"
This city has been plagued with safe crack
ers and petit larceny gangs for the last month
and as yet not one single safe breaking job
has been solved. nor single suspect arrested
in connection with the crimes. Yet We have
had Newport CElyJ criminals here in previous
years.
1t is all very well to refer 10 the safe crack
ings as the work Of professional ring" Our
police department is not exactly an amateur"
group, or, at least. it is not supposed to be out
Of the professional class
Just a few hours before the Mayor made
his naive statement local laundry was en-
tered but the men who broke in failed to crack
the safe. An effort had been made. however,
to open the strongbox.
Perhaps that's what the Mayor meant when
he said under control"

COUNTY FAIRS COME BACK

OPENING of the Marion County fair horse
- show at New Bethel tomorrow brings to
mind that revival Of the county fair has
been in progress in Indiana during the last
three years
During the early years of the depression
some Indiana counties abandoned their fairs.
There was revival, and Shelby County was
among the first to have a successful fair.
Bartholomew County's fair this year was
successful despite the handicap of bad
weather.
The beginning of fairs was in Europe gen.
erations ago. Such institutions serve a good
purpose by bringing together the inhabitants
of community. The displays provide oppor-
tulity for friendly competition and spur to
greater achievement
One of the features of the fair at New
Bethel will be display of work done by boys
and girls who are All club members. This is
a field in which much good has been accom-
pished.

THREE STORIES

I OUDER than all the din of the nations
- hates and ambitions sound "the still, sad
music of humanity"
In New York's sweltering Bowery hundreds
of down-and- gathered to pay their last
tribute to Bishop Tom Noonan, an alumnus
of Sing Sing who for years had headed base
ment mission ironically called "the Cathe-
dral" Last year Noonan gave food, shelter
and kind advice to more than 100000 buns"
At his funeral they honored him as "a good
guy"
In Philadelphia seven mattresses rubbed
their eyes. like little girls in fairy stories, when
they read the will of Dad" Hill, an aged and
homeless patron. He left them $4,000. All
they had done to earn it was to make Dad
feel at home each night as he shambled in
for his evening meal.

Attacks Holding Companies

bition I supported you in spite of
a contrary opinion on my part;
on other legislation where we took
opposite viewpoints 1 still sung
your praises, feeling you were sin
cere in your judgment. On the
holding company question there
can be no halfway expedients;
they must be completely demol-
iShed.
Among my own acquaintance
alone I am familiar with 40 or so
persons who will probably desert
you unless you line up with the
Administration. How many more
they know, I would not even ven-
ture a guess. I regret to say you
have lost considerable prestige
wit. fair-minded, intelligent per-
sons who do their own thinking,
who are not subsidized and who
do not seek any political favorS.
Have your contact men ascer-
tain how the people feel about this
and I am sure you will find that
not even the subsidized press with
their columns of propaganda can
influence or divert their opinion
from the simple fact that it is
necessary to deal with these mon
sters with finality.
Also please permit me to remind
you that the Constitution has
never meant anything to the pow
erful interests. I am sure any
changes which would put teeth
into the Constitution would be
greatly welcomed by a majority
of Americans. Why not help to be
a party to give the government
back to the people?
