I walked further from Kiev to-

stated that his father had been
sent away to Siberia for refusing
to join a Collective Farm, that his

walked many miles about the
country since her death, as he was
afraid to sleep in the hut alone.
He said that he did not have
any relatives he could go to.
asked him why he carried the
bucket, and he told me he had
been terribly thirsty these last

tration is determined to have a
board.
Sufficient Senators supported Mr..
Feeney Thursday to send the bill
back to committee with instructions
to strike out the board feature.
Considering the statement made
by Senator Jacob Weiss Cd, Indi-
anapolis), before yesterdays caucus,
that the administration is deter
mined to pass the bill in its present
form, the agreement to name a
compromise committee was looked
upon as another victory for Mr.
Feeneys supporters.
After the conference, Senator
Weiss declared the caucus action
was for the best interests of the
Democratic party.
Yesterday Gov. McNutt con-
ferred with Senate leaders and
Mr.. Feeney. During the conference,
it was reported, Mr.. Feeney offered
to resign Immediately if his OPP
position to the board plan is en-
barraSsing to the administration.
Mr.. Feeney also was reported to
have told the Governor Of his per-
sonal esteem for the executive, but
adhered to his idea that the board
feature of the Schricker bill would
divide responsibility for the proper
functioning of the police force.
Senator Chambers suggested for

ing the compromise factions.

HOMESTEADS
PROJECT FOR
CITY STUDIED
$4,000 Grant Sought by
Group Is Given u. S.
Consideration.

The Federal Subsistence Home
steads Corp. of the Department of
the Interior is considering an ex-
penditure of $4,000 fora home
steads project here and is waiting
for the city to become interested
enough in the proposal to qualify
for it. This was announced today
by Joseph B. H. Evans, executive
assistant to Charles E. Pynchon,
general manager of the corpora
ton.
This sum, Mr.. Evans said, has
been asked by loan committee of
Indianapolis citizens. 1t would fur
nish 140 families with homeSteadS,
including recreation facilities and
perhaps a school, on a tract of land
near the city, yet to be selected.
Cost Less Than $4,000
The plan proposes to furnish each
homesteader with a tWo-acre plot Of
ground, a completely modern brick
or masonry house, garden tools,
poultry and seed, and to supervise
the use of the ground.
A project manager would be ap-
pointed and cooperative enterprises
would be supervised by him. 1t is
estimated that the complete Setup
for the average family will cost less
than $4,000 and this may be repaid
to the government at the rate OF
S4.25 for each $1,000 each month,
making the payment for a $4,000
estate" average less than $13 each
month.
Held Economic Benefit
The project will be for Negroes
and white families, although most
of the homesteaders are expected
to be Negroes. Homesteaders will
work in local industries. will come
from low income groups, and will
derive part Of their living expenses
from the land
This project would add more than
100000 worth of taxable property
to the township lists, would give
employment to many idle workmen,
would stimulate the manufacture
and sale of durable goods, and would
prove a social and economic bene-
fit to the city, the committee says.
Committee Is Named
The committee includes F. B. Ran
som, chairman; Lionel F. Arts, sec
1etary; Miss Gertrude Brown, the
