Raps Relief Costs

WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator
Frederick Van Mugs today cited
Center Township, Marion County,

protection against direct relief in
future depressions, the Senator de-
clared.

per cent of the total expended to 10
per cent and upward through the

SAARBRUCKEN, Jan. 12.-Nazis
are conflscating plebiscite voting
cards of Jewish residents in the
Saar, leaders of the anti-Nazl
United Front complained to the
League of Nations governing COM
mission today.
Members of the Nazi German
Front, the anti-Nazis charged, are
going among the Jewish residents
and asking them how they intend
to vote in tomorrow's pleblSclte,
which is to decide the future OF
the Saar territory.
The Jews, anti-Nazis said, invar-
iably replied that they would vote
for return of the territory to Ger
many and then the Nazis asked the
Jews to hand over their voting
cards, thus depriving them OF the
possibility of voting.
Snow Delays Trains
The Nazis' motive apparently was
that they suspected the Jews, no
matter what their protestatlons,
would vote against return, and the
Jews declarations in favor of Ger
many would be but natural in view
of a fear of summary reprisals If
it was found they voted against the
Reich.
A blizzard-like snow was pillng
up throughout the little Saar today.
1t had been showing for "a hours,
and there was no sign OF abatement.
Communications were disrupted,
and the 81 special trains scheduled
to arrive today with thousands more
Germans returning to vote were de-
layed.
Voting will begin at 8 a. m. to-
morrow. Saarlanders, residents and
former residents who have come
from all over the world, will decide
whether the Saar shall revert tc
Germany, remain under League OF
Nations rule or become French.
Ballot counting will be started II
the early hours of Monday morn
ing and the result will be an
nounced around 8 a. m. Tuesday.
Germans Are Confident
Germans are confident that the
result of the plebiscite will show ar
overwhelming preference for Ger
man rule. There is no basis OF
computing the probable vote. Fol
comparison there was only the 1928
vote for legislative candidates. Then
Catholics polled 100, 1000 votes, Com
munists 1000, Nazis 10000 and So
cialists As, 900. But that was years
before the ascendance of the Nazl
star and the vote was not for or
against German rule.

PROBE BRINGS
MURDER CHARGE
Argument Is Blamed for
Death of City Man,
Father of Six.

Funeral services have not been
arranged yet for Alfred Norsell, Al
year-old father Of six children, who
died yesterday of a fractured skull
received in a fight over minor dam
age his a had done to a garage,
in the rear of his home, GLIB N. Key
stone-av.
Held for murder in connection
with the death is Ben Shannon, 46,
of 1884 N. LaSalle-st, owner of the
garage and named by Mr.. Norsells
distracted widow as his assailant.
Mrs. NOrsellS mother, Mrs. Helga
Robinson, in whose name their home
is listed, returned today from APP
pletOn, Wis, where Mrs. NorSell a
graduated from Lawrence College
and where they made their home for
many years, and assumed charge of
the family.
Margaret NorSell, IA, who also
heard the argument that led to her
fathers death and who helped her
mother carry him unconscious into
the house after the fight, is a
senior this year at Technical High
School, and will be one of the
youngest pupils ever to be grad
uated from that school.
The fatal argument arose, Mrs.
Norsell said, when Shannon de-
manded that her husband repair a
few boards his a had damaged
from Shannon's garage. She said
she heard her husband say he would
make the repairs and then, after he
had called to her to come out, she
heard him fall to the ground.
She said she saw Shannon flee and
pursued him for about a block, but
was outdiStanced.
Other children in the family are
Howard, II; Cora, g; Emily, 7;
Alma, 212, and Faul, 81 months. Five
brother, six sisters and the parents
Of Mr.. Norsell live in Denmark.

Traders who had thrown stocks

fears of an adverse Supreme Court
decision on the gold clause took a
more temperate view of the situa-
ton today. Some observers said the

consensus was the market would

LABOR'S VIEWS
TO PREVAIL ON
Job INSURANCE
Miss Perkins Loses Fight
for Employer to Bear
Full Burden.
VAN NUYS AT FARLEY
Hoosier Senator's Idea for
Joint Responsibility Wins
Roosevelt Favor.
Copyright. 1895. by United Press)

iCOpNIlEHt. 1850, Dy OulLSQ 6IeSSb
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt's recommendations
to Congress for job insurance, it ap-
peared today, will disregard the
opinion of Frances Perkins, Secre-
tary of Labor, that employers alone
should underwrite the fund.
This rift between views of the
President and his Cabinet adviser on
labor problems was revealed follow
ing a White House conference yes
terday on proposed social security
legislation.
The President is known to stand
with labor and industry liberals on
the subcommittee of experts which
advised the Cabinet group that if
the insurance tax on industry is 8
per cent on pay rolls, labor should
add about l per cent of salaries.
This view, held by a minority of
the subcommittee, is also shared
by Senator Frederick Van Mugs Cd,
Ind, who has made wide research
in this field and was present at the
White House meeting.
Certain Groups Exempt
Senator Van Mugs later said the
program, to be drafted in the form
OF separate bills, will include also
old-age pensions, health insurance,
maternity benefits and annuities.
He believes the job insurance tax
will be not more than 5 per cent
on pay rolls. High-salaried work.
ers naturally will not share the ben
ef1ts. Railroad employees have their
own pension plan. School teachers
municipal employees, domesti@work-
ers in homes ana on farms would be
exempted, because administrative
costs would be too great.
One program of economic security
proposals, probably with some spe-
cif1c recommendations, will go to
Capitol Hill eaEly next week, it was
indicated. Congressional leaders
promised speedy action.
Heated Debate Due
Whether the old-age pension fig
ure remains at $50 per month for
needy persons under IS, as advised
by the experts, Or is moved up or
down, is certain to be a holly de-
bated point in Congress.
The Administration hopes for uni
formity in state laws to prevent en-
ployer opposition to the insurance
plans. Sen. Van Mugs said a 5 per
cent tax on pay rolls will increase
the cost of finished products l cent
on each dollar paid by consumers.
Proponents of labor contribution
to the fund feel the workers should
share in the cost and administra-
tive authority to the end that they
would assist in policing the distri-
button of benefits.

ologist, predicted rain and warmer
weather for tonight and tomorrow.
with a drop in the temperature due
tomorrow night. While he was pre-
dieting warmer weather, the
bureaus thermometer showed a
temperature of 80, one degree above

where the reading frequently is

showed a temperature of 80.

the word was passed along by
''some one higher up" to
avoid any alliances ard to
fight along strictly party lines
any administration legisla-
ton to which they object.
Denials were made in several
quarters that there are any dis
gruntled Democrats and that all
who might be suspected of defec-
ton will go along with the admin
iStration program.
Rumblings of Revolt
Reports of the coalition were lent
credence by two developments short
ly before the Legislature convened.
Rep. Jacob Reisinger d., Evans
ville) was ambitious to be Speaker
of the House. He wrote to mem
bers of the minority, telling them
he had enough support to defeat
Speaker Edward H. Stein, if the
Republicans would join him.
There also was the attitude of
the Marion County delegation at
its caucus prior to converting. Sew
eral members made it plain they
do not intend to swallow the ad-
ministration program merely be-
cause it is such.
Administration approval alone, it
was explained, would not be sufi-
cient to obtain the solid vote of
the delegation. Each measure, sew
eral members assert, must stand on
its merits.
Legislative Record Set
Members Of both Houses went
home yesterday with admonitions
ringing in their ears. They made
legislative history in Indiana when

message and then came back the
next day to start work with intro
duCtion of % bills in the Senate
and "a bills in the House.
Lieut.. Gov. M. Clifford Town
send told members of the Senate
he was pleased with the alacrity
with which they passed several
emergency measures under suspen-
sion of the rules and with the speed
with which the committee work was
organized. He said he expected a
full attendance at committee meet
ings and urged promptness in at
tendance, so important bills would
not be held up.
Speaker Stein voiced similar SEN
timentS and objected to starting at
10 a. m. Monday because, he ex-
planned, several committees expect
to consider bills Monday morning
and report back on them in the
afternoon.
Emergency Bills Pass
Republicans and Democrats joined
in suspending the rules in both
houses for the passage of emergency
legislation. This legislation included
two election bills in the Senate, the
appropriations, or assembly expense
bill and extension of the delinquent
tax sale moratorium for a year.
Only one dissenting voice was
raised in either house in the JUS
pension of the rules.
Representative H. H. Evans (R.,
Newcestle) explained that he had
been told by the folks back horne
that the first thing the Assembly
would do would be to vote their own
salaries. Therefore, he voted against
suspension of the rules. He voted
for the bill, however.
