Striking Franklin College
Students Win Pledge
From Trustees.
PRESIDENT UNDER FIRE
PiCketing 10 Be Continued
Unless Demands Are
Met, Is Warning.
BY JOHN THOMPSON
Times staff Writer

FRANKLIN, Feb. l6.-The board
of trustees of Franklin College met
late last night with striking STU
dents who have demanded a change
in the college administration or the
resignation of its president and
dean, and resolved that, if student
charges are true, the "only honor
able thing" for the administrative
officers involved to do would be
to resign.
President William Gear Spencer,
D. D., is accused by the students of
paying "deplorable" salaries, the
lowest in the state, to his faculty
and of not taking advantage of op-
portunities to pay them more; of
not cooperating with the student
body; of guiding the entire college
program to cater to e Baptist con-
stituency"; and of the lack of IAN
intelligent, progressive program
and refusal to incorporate modern
proved plans of education"
The president, furthermore, is
accused by the students of sitting
student initiative and enthusiasm;
refusing to recognize student boards
of arbitration, the reduction of the
quality of compulsory chapel pro-
grams to a level below the average
college students intelligence and
appreciation of value"
Board to Quiz Officials
Students asked the board that
the half scholarship donations be
continued in order that the college
will be available to athletes, such
as those who made up Franklin's
Wonder Fives," and that the stu
dent body be increased and the ma
terial income of the school be aug
mented.
The board of trustees, meeting at
the convenience of student leaders,
who had first attended an oratori-
cal contest, heard these and other
charges and promised to take them
up with the president and Dean
P. L. Powell tomorrow.
After they had been assured OF
immediate action by the trustees,
students held an impromptu meet
ing in the Phi Delta Theta house
at 2:30 a. m. and resolved ito await
the next move of the board of
trustees, which, if unsatisfactory,
would require that the present
strike be continued"
The students dramatized their I'M
rest, which, they say, has been
noticeable for the last two years
with the strike. This began Friday
and classes we're picketed.
Refuse to Attend Seminar
Yesterday they refused, almost 100
per cent strong, to attend seminar
on Modern Trends" contributing
instead their own modern trend"
with more picketing that before
nightfall had united nearly the en-
tire student body in their demands.
The students, in their lengthy and
well-written resolution to the board
of trustees, expressly pointed out
that they wished the resolution not
be considered as an affair involving
personalities. but as an earnest at
tempt to remedy a two-year siege of
maladministration."
I'VE offer these resolutions" the
petition said in closing, mot in an
antagonistic spirit toward Franklin
College, but because we realize that
true school spirit does not live in
passive submission, but in intelligent
criticism and a genuine desire to
better Franklin College,"

ward H. Stein gave them severe
tongue-lssblng.
"If there is lack of a quorum,
Speaker Stein said, cit is because
the Republicans walked out in vio-
lation of their constitutional duties
and violated their sacred oatn of
office. The reason they couldn't get
their amendments adopted was be-
cause the people of Indiana did not
send them here in sufficient num-
bers."
Added to the budget was s60,600
for maintenance of the Indiana War
Memorial in Indianapolis and &c.,
900 more for Indiana State Teach

House Republicans Are Believed Ready to Walk out Again When
State Budget Called Up for Further Consideration Monday

Republicans offered amendments
to cut $2,130,520 from the budget.
All were voted down.
Another bitter fight in which all
the parliamentary tricks will be
used will come next week when the
administration liquor control law is
laid before the General Assembly.
Gov. Paul v. McNutt has announced
that the measure will be presented
Monday.
Yesterdays Republican tactics
made clear the minority strategy for
the balance of the session. All taxes
will be opposed and legislation to

M'NUTT DENIES
TAX AGREEMENT
Advisers Still Formulating
Policy Is Comment on
Sales Levy.

Gov. Paul V. McNutt today dis
missed reports that enactment of
a 2 per cent retail sales tax had
been tentatively agreed upon by
financial advisers, by declaring the
state Administration has no settled
program.
This was interpreted to mean that
details Of the measures to be enact
ed for financing the $50,000,000 state
duget have not reached final form.
Meanwhile, it was definitely estab-
lished that financial experts in the
state service favor the 2 per cent
sales tax, in addition to the state
gross income tax.
Their plan calls for revision of the
gross income tax law to reduce levies
on receipts from retail sales from l
per cent to one-fourth Of l per cent.
Increased exemptions for levies
on professional incomes in excess of
$1,000 are contemplated.
New Tax on Trucks
Abolition of the emergency
clauses in the present tax limitation
laws will be recommended. The
emergency clause at present permits
local taxing units to levy more than
81 in rural areas and $1.50 in urban
areas.
Another revenue producing plan
is the levy of new impost on COM
mon and contract carrier trucks. It
is estimated 100000 a year will
flow from this source.
The state now pays $500 a year
for each teacher. New legislation
may increase this to 5000. This
would permit reduction in prop
erty tax rates.
Would Balance Budget
The program assures balancing Of
the new state budget, which was out
Of balance approximately 100000
following yesterdays budget meeting.
Revenues collected by the state
excise department from liquor and
beer licenses will become available
in the general fund under the pro-
posed program.
The principal details of the pro-
gram were described in The In
dianapolis Times two weeks ago. At
that time administration financial
advisers were continuing their study
of methods of providing sufficient
revenues to meet new demands upon
the state treasury.

The Bremen Flag Incident.

Gently, is a model of correctness. Mr..
Phillips states the case explicitly, and
plainly notes that everything that proper
relations with friendly foreign power
require has been done to effect the pun
ishment of those guilty of this outrage.
Before the German government entered
its protest the local authorities in New
York had acted; indeed they had acted
even in advance of the incident To pre-
vent such happening. The Acting Sec
retary closes his note with the expression
that 1T is unfortunate that, in spite of
the sincere efforts of the police TO pre-
vent any disorder whatever, the German
national emblem should, during the dis
turbance which took place. not have re-

Still Determined.

1t was manifestly Representative
Rayburn's idea that the ugly disclosures
emanating from the Black committee,
illustrating blUndering stupidity and
worse on the part of some utility hold
ing company executives, had by this
time famed the flames of resentment
hot enough to make the House turn an
about-face on the death sentence" sec
ton of the holding company legislation.
But that belief was erroneous. The
House vote of 2l0 to 155 against yielding
on the death sentence was even more
significant than the original defeat OF
that section of the bill. 1t was record
vote, taken while the ScandalouS tale
of proposed whispering campaign"
against the President of the United
States was being unfolded before the
Black committee. 1t was taken after
revelation upon revelation of repre-
henSible, shady tactics on the part of
some holding company executives had
been shouted Gay after day from the
front pages of every newspaper in the
country. There can be little hope now
that the House, after reaffirming its
stand yesterday, will later yield to
administration pressure.
Before the vote Mr.. Rayburn indi-
Gated that another defeat for the death
sentence might mean defeat of the hold
ing company legislation altogether that
the bill might be killed for this session.
Well, if that is the case, the death of
the bill will have been caused more by
stubbornnesS than by good judgment.
Without the So-called death sentence,
the holding company legislation is
drastic enough. 1t is more drastic than
anybody would have dreamed about a
few years ago. 1t supplements the
already strict control over new security
issues, now exercised by the Securities
Commission. 1t makes practically i'm
possible the sort of financial juggling
and Shenanigans that brought the hold
ing companies into such disrepute. It
affects not only the holding companies,
but the operating companies, placing
extraordinary power of regulation in the
hands of the Federal Government.
The House will not yield because it is
not convinced that potential outlawry
of the holding company-the good along
with the bad-is necessity. 1t believes
that strict regulation can accomplish
Aaore than destruction. And it is hold
ing to this belief without benefit of
Elmer and his kilograms or mysterious
boxes that might have contained cigars.
To those sincerely interested in the
strict regulation of holding companies
and the prevention of many evils asso-
ciated with their financial monstrosities
this should mean something. But if
Senator Wheeler prefers a Cohen in
conference to an agreement on the pend
ing legislation, that preference will be
greatly applauded by the utilities. They
feel the same way about it.

Philately on Parade.

Washington this month will have an
opportunity to see philately on parade.
The stamp collectors of the Nation are
converging on the Capital for the Golden
Jubilee Convention of the American
PhilateGc Society, largest organization
of its kind in the world. They Will be
in session from August II to 10, and
during approximately the same period
the American Air Mail Society also will
hold its annual meeting. But OF more
especial interest to the public at large,
there will be an inclusive exhibition OF
philatelic materials at the National Mu-
scum from August 4 to 31-a stamp
exposition in which President Roosevelt,
Secretary of the Interior Ickes and sew
eral hundred other leading collectors
will display selected specimens from
their albums.
Such activity, obviously, is reflection
of vast enterprise in the philatelic field.
1t witnesses to the great number OF peo-
pie enlisted in the hobby and testifles
to the ardent character of their enthusi-
asrn. 1t likewise suggests that philately
is coming of age" attaining seasoned
maturity and finding its place among
the permanent values of life. But lts
best significance is that of its democracy.
Beginning as children's pastime nearly
hundred years ago, stamp collecting
has developed into the serious vocation
of thousands. the gratifying recreation
OF millions. And It has embraced all
countries, all races, all classes and all
conditions of human beings. The bonds
OF philatelic fellowship unite King
George V and the humblest Of his sub
lects, millionaires and unemployed day
iaoorers jurists and prisoners. physi-
clans and patients. teachers and pu-
pils--even husbands and wives and
parents and childrenl An earth brim-
ming with confusion. It would seem.

can work such miracle Of cooperation
and tolerance.
