Director of New |. c. c. Blu.
reau Cites Lack of Funds
for Work.

New Federal bus and truck legisla-
ton, scheduled to become effective
october /, may be delayed because no
funds are available for administra-
ton.
There isn't any bureau" explained
John L. Rogers, director of the newly
created motor carrier bureau of the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
An appropriation of $1,250,000 to
finance the new agency until next
July / died with the third deficiency
appropriation bill in the closing hours
Of Congress.
I. C. C. Funds Not Available.
Commission officials have sought a
transfer of funds through the Budget
Bureau so as to begin operations on
the specific date, but no indication
has been forthcoming as to whether
the request will be granted.
Some officials thought at first that
I. c. c. funds could be used tempor-
arily, but they found they would need
Budget Bureau approval and final
O. K. by the controller general.
The officials said that if funds
are made available shortly, the new
bureau could start functioning in
time to put the first phases OF the
new law into effect as scheduled.
This would include the preparation
and dispatch of forms for tariff
schedules and certificates OF con-
venience, which all bus and truck
operators in interstate commerce
would have to file with the bureau.
500 Workers Needed.
I'VE could get started quickly
enough once the money is available" !"
said one official, because the initial
phases can be handled by a relatively
small staff. It's when the companies
begin flooding us with all this data
We must have that the real heavy
work starts"
1t was estimated staff of between
500 and 900 persons. all of whom must
be under civil service, will be required
eventually to administer the new law.

.DELUSE ASSAILS
TOWNSEND PLAN
Raises False Hopes for
Aged, Says Pioneer in
Pension Work.

Otto P. DeluSe, an outstanding
student of old-age pensions since
1921 as a member of the brain
trust" of the old-age pension cam
paign of the Fraternal Order of
Eagles, today described the Town
send revolving old-age pension plan
as fantastic" and utterly impoS-
Sible to administer"
There is no doubt" he said, that
DR.. Townsend, his associates and
the thousands of subscribers to his
plan are actuated by humanitarian
motives and are acting in good faith.
However, a study Of old-age pen
sion systems of many states in this
country and those in foreign coun-
tries constrains me to say that in
my judgment the Townsend plan is
IL fantastic theory which would be
utterly impossible to administer.
1T is estimated that a 80 to 35
pei cent sales tax would be required
to finance the program. The propo-
sition, therefore, is economically I'M
sound and would throw our govern
mental structure into chaos.
with all due respect for the de-
Sires of the advocates of the plan,
I hope that aged people will not
build up any false hopes. A fair,
reasonable pension is all that any
one can expect from a benevolent

MAI. SHEPARD
ACQUITTED IN
W|FE'S DEATH
Retired Army Officer Is
Cleared on Charges of
Poisoning Mate.
By United Press

By United Press
TOPEKA, Kas, Feb. 11.-Maj.
Charles A. Shepard's f1ye-yesr fight
against murder charges growing out
of the death of his wife, Zenana,
ended successfully today in acquit-
tai.
A Federal Court jury returned a
not guilty verdict to Judge Colin
Neblett after 16 hours and Is min
uteS of elaboration 1t was Mai.
Shepard'S second trial on the same
charges.
The retired Army officer and his
third wife, Mrs. Alice Watt Shop
ard. and her daughter, Mrs. Burr
Cooper, were in the courtroom when
the verdict was read.
The defense maintained Mrs.
Shepard'S death was not caused by
poison administered by the defend
ant; that if Mrs Shepard received
bichloride Of mercury in fatal GUAM
titles she did so accidentally in
mouth wash. Some defense wit
nesses testified examinations of Mrs.
Shepard'S viScera revealed she was
suffering from Vincent's angina at
the time of her death.
That Mrs Shepard thought often
of suicide was related by defense
witnesses, one Of whom said Mrs.
Shepard feared a form of insanity
in her family was hereditary.
Mai Shepard testified Mrs. Shep-
ard was an alcoholic, that she was
intoxicated much of the time in
their home, although he said she
seldom drank more than one or two
highballs in public Several de-
Tense witnesses backed up this tes-
timony.
Maj. Shepard said he first had
noticed Mrs. Shepard's alleged
fondnesS for alcoholic beverages
when they were in the Philippines.
He said he attempted unsuccessfully
to break her of the habit.

Gas Tax Study

Organized motorists want the
Senate to follow the lead of the
House and pass a resolution author
izing the establishment of a COM
mission to study gasoline tax dis
tribution and traffic needs of the
state, Todd Stops. Hoosier Motor
Club secretary, said today.
The resolution, introduced by
Rep. F. G. Thompson Cd, Bluffton)
and Rep. BalthaSar Hoffman 3D.,
Valparaiso was unanimously
passed in the House Friday.
If this commission is set up it
could coordinate the benefits of our
state highway system for the good
of the state as whole rather than
for the selfish interests of the sepa-
rate communities" Mr.. Stops said.

toward the Constitution. and
toward such fundamentals as free
dom the press, the right to express
independent opinion, and the sane
tity of contracts"
The Democrats resolved: "Presi-
dent Roosevelt is a leader whose
Christian fortitude makes him brave
in demanding that every individual
be assured security, reasonable
leisure and a decent living through
out life, extolling such conception
of duty as an ambition to be pre-
ferred to the appetite of great
wealth and great power"
The Republicans resolved that a
balanced budget, the gold standard
and sound money are necessary to
insure return to monetary integrity
and business confidence.
Minton Is Cheered
Democrats cheered when Senator
Sherman Minton Cd, Ind said:
You didn't balance the budget
during the war. You can't do it
now when you are fighting another
war against the depression, which is
just as big job as the other war"
Republicans cheered when Sen
ator L. j. Dickinson (R., Ia said:
There is no objection to improve
mentS that will be of real benefit to
society, but when the government
goes into business competition with
private concerns; when the govern
ment enters various fields and alb
serbs private interests, it is time to
sound alarm"
The Democrats proposed PreSi-
dent Roosevelt and Gov. Paul v
McNutt, who addressed them, as the
1886 presidential ticket.
Officers Are Elected

Minor, Cannelton, to the presidency
of the association, to succeed Frank

When the Marion County Grand

ing the Indianapolis police force
with Chief Mike MorriSsey.

That was a great speech you

flood rights for power and
other dams, supports OF
buildings, water rights,
drainage rights and bitches.
Effect on the State Highway
Commission would be a flood OF
claims for all easements obtained
since 1919. II the highway commits
sion couldn't find the grants for
recording.
During its IS years Of existence,
the highway department has pur-
chased many grants Of right OF
way upon which state roads have
been built and which now are IN
use.
Grants of EaSem, nj
The grants are grants Of case
ment and never have been re-
corded because the states posses
sion is visible and unquestiOned. 1t
would be difficult 10 locate many
af these grants. according TO high
way commission officials.
II the Evans-Klen bill is not
killed in the Senate. the state
would lose all easements where the
grants could not be located for re-
COrding.
Another difficulty which would
throw the highway system into con-
fusion is the fact that many state
roads nave been built over what
we're county highways. The state
has no grants for right-of-way OF
such highways and 1t would be i'm
possible TO find them.
Called Recorders Grab"
Legal experts, who have studied
the bill. assert there IS no excuse
for IL. except to allow landowners
10 receive compensation for what
already has been paid for
Members of Senate Judiciary A
committee have been supplied with
a digest pointing out the possible
effects. II the Senate does not serve
as a safeguard against what Is
termed by many as a recorders
grab"
The measure. introduced by Rep.
n II. Evans. Newcastle. Republican
caucus chairman, and Rep. Joseph
Klein ID, Whiting, was passed Jan.
