POLICE To ASK
INDICTMENTS IN
RIVERS Staying
Municipal Court Hearing Is
to Be Avoided to Pro-
tect Evidence.

Lieut.. Roy Pope of the police
homicide squad said today that the
Marion County Grand Jury would
be asked to return indictments
against all persons held in connec-
ton with the Staying of Sergt.
Richard Rivers.
Purpose of the move, Lieut.. Pope
explained, is TO bring dismissal of
Municipal Court charges without a
hearing where important evidence
might be exposed to the defense.
Either members of the Alfred
Brady gang do not know who fired
the shots that killed Sergt. Richard
Rivers, or they are signing confess
sions to confuse the case, police
asserted today.
Clarence Lee Shaffer Jr., 20. of
1l42 S. Lyndhurst- captured in
front of his home as he was reading
a detective story magazine, was
quoted by indianapolis authorities
as saying, ut must have been me-"
when asked if he killed Sergt.
Rivers.

A few hours earlier, Chicago po-
lice claimed that James Dahlhover
admitted being the trigger man.
With Brady, Shaffer and Dahl
hover under arrest, detectives

member of the gang, believed to
have been wounded in Lima 90
jewelry store robbery The desper-
ADDE'S were seeking treatment for
this man at the home of DR.. E. E.
Rose, 2153 Barth-av, when the gun
battle in which Sergt. Rivers was
killed occurred.
In one raid detectives discovered
what they believe was the gangs
arsenal in the 2400 block on Park
av. Among the weapons found were
a Marlin army. model machine gun,
many belts of ammunition, tear gas
and hand grenades, tracer bullets,
three army rifles, 4 sawed-on shot

ALL FACTIONS IN
GOVERNOR RACE
CLAIM RECRUITS
Jackson Renamed Chief by
Democrats: Fry Loses
Post to Finney.

Republican and Democratic can
didates for the gubernatoriai NOM
ination today continued to make
conflicting claims of delegate
strength as both parties pointed
their efforts toward the state con-
ventions scheouleo Tor June.
Convention interest was reKindled
by Saturdays organization meeting
of the Democratic state committee.
Omer Stokes Jackson, Greenfield,
was reelected Democratic state
chairman by reclamation. Other
state officers reelected were: Mrs.
Emery Scholl, Connersville, vice
chairman; William Storen, Indian
apolis, treasurer, and Keith L.
Johns, indianapolis, secretary.
On the Republican side Don B.
Irwin, Frankfort, holds his chair
manship by the narrow margin of
one vote, with the possibility that
an election of district chairman in
the Eighth District-set for this
month-might Gust him from his
seat.
Ralph Gates, his opponent, claims
the two votes of the district.
Springer Holds Advantage
Observers concede Raymond S..
Springer, Connersville. candidate
for the G. o. P. gubernatorial
nomination, wide edge in delegate
strength on the first ballot at the
convention to be held in the
Coliseum at the State Playground
on June 8.
The three Democratic guberna-
torial candidates, Pleas Greenlee,
Lieut.. Gov. M. Clifford Townsend
and E. Kirk Mckinney, are at
variance in their delegate claims.
Mr.. Greenlee and Mr.. Mckinney
assert they have sufficient strength
to block the nomination of Mr..
Townsend on the first ballot as fore
cast by Townsend supporters. The
Democratic state convention is
scheduled for June Is.
Adherents of Tie three candidates
claim that delegates have switched
to their respective camps since the
primary.
Finney Declared Winner
Paul P. Fry; Linton, state excise
chairman, was ousted as Seventh
district chairman in favor of Frank
F'inney, of Martinsville, state com
missioner of motor vehicles. The

at Mr. Greenlee by friends of Lieut.
Gov Townsend.

Shaffer, detectives said, admitted
being member of the Brady gang,
and said he took part in a number
of grocery and jewelry store rob-
berries in northern Indiana and
Ohio.

He blamed the gangs downfall on
Mrs. Margaret Larson, Brady's COM
panion, who, he saiG, insisted
that they park their car and stay
overnight in Chicago hotel
Brady was arrested in the hotel
when police checked on the license
plates and found the car had been
stolen.
Shaffer, after eluding Chicago po-
lice, wandered through eight Mid
western states and then returned to

Mckinney Aid Angry

Leonard B. Marshall, president of
the Mckinney for Governor Club,
today termed as "high-handed" the
tactics of the controlled majority of
the Democratic state committee in
freezing out a. Edward Doran.
South Bend, "as Third District
chairman.
1T, in my opinion, will act as a
boomerang to the candidacy of M.
Clifford Townsend for Governor, f"
Mr.. Marshall said.
Mr.. Doran is a Mckinney sup
porter.
THE wishes of those who have
supported Mr.. Doran have been over
ridden by group that has become
panic-stricken over rapidly grow
ing threat to it's regime" he, said.
Il believe that self-appoint rul-
ers have overplayed their hand

ducers to include:

When tWo-thirds of the produc-
ers and more than one-half of the
workers in any district reach an
agreement as to wages and hours.
the agreement shall be binding on
all code members.
Attacks Begun Early
Soon after the law was enacted
it was attacked by various pro-
ducers.
Without waiting for an attempt
to enforce the law, several legal
steps were taken to forestall its
effectiveness. More than 100 pro-
ducers filed suits seeking to enjoin
the Is per cent tax, a vital part Of
the laws operation. In most in
stances it was enjoined, pending
determination of the Supreme
Court cases.
One case, that of James Walter
Carter, stakeholder and president
of the Carter Coal Co., was filed in
the District of Columbia Supreme
Court. 1t charged the law was an
invasion of rights reserved to the
states because it attempted to con-
troll production and to regulate
interstate commerce.
The Carter suit was filed to en-
join, also, the directors of the COM
pany from joining the coal code.
When the case came before JUS
tice Jesse G. Adkins, he held the law

CHURCH OBSERVES
DATE OF FOUNDING
Sermons, Banquet Feature
Program Here.

The Fortieth anniversary of ST..
Peters Evangelical Church was
celebrated yesterday with sermons
at morning services by former con-
firmants who now are pastors. This
observance was concluded with a
banquet in honor of founders lass
night.
The Rev G. H. Geiger, Cissna
Park, ILL.,, who attended st. Peters
in his boyhood, conducted German
services at 9 yesterday morning,
praising the benefits he had de-
rived from his association with the
church.
The Rev. Carl F. Eisele, Dillsboro
another early member of st. Peters,
spoke at II at English services.

to be valid except for the wage and
hour provisions.
These, he ruled, were unconstitu-
tional but found that this part of
the act could be separated from the
rest, thus permitting it to stand.
Justice Adkins at the same time en-
joined collection of the tax pending
a final determination of the laws
validity. The Carter lawyers APP
pealed from the first part of the de-
cision and the government from the
latter part.
At about the same time Fed
eral district court in Louisville, XIV.
decided IN two pending suits that
the law was valid in its entirety.
One of these suits was brought By
G. II. Clark, director of the r. G
Tway Coal Co. of Harlan County,
Kentucky, scene of prolonged strife
in the bituminous industry. Mr..
Clark sued to compel his fellow di-
rectors, r. G. Tway and L. A.
Shafer, who had voted him down at
a directors meeting, to enroll the
company under the coal code.
The other Kentucky suit was
brought by IL Harlan County pro-
ducers who challenged the valid
ity of the law and sought to have
the collection Of taxes under it
enjoined.
The Carter case and the Harlan
County cases were argued before
the court at the same time. Assis-
tant United States Attorney John
Dickinson defended the act. 1t
was assailed in argument by Fred
erick H. Wood of New York City.
Carter counsel, who successfully
challenged the validity of NRA
before the high court, and former
Federal Judge Charles I. Dawson,
who while on the bench held NRA
invalid and who later became a
leading American Liberty League
lawyer.
While President Roosevelt, in ask
ing Congress to enact the law. ad-
mitted it's doubtful" constitution
atty after the NRA decision, the
courts subsequent ruling outlawing
AAA as an invasion of state
rights was regarded by many as
clinching the fate of the Guffey
act. 1t was argued that. if the
court condemned Federal control
of agriculture in the indirect man.
ner of AAA, it would also condemn
control of industry.
Clear Cut Issue Presented
When the case came up for argu-
ment Mr.. Dickinson placed the con-
stitutional issue directly before the
court. He argued that the states
themselves had admittedly been I'M
able to control conditions III the
bituminous industry and that, I'M
less the Federal government could
do SO, it was beyond the control
of any governmental agency.
Mr. Dickinson's stand was sup
ported by friend of the court"
briefs filed by seven important coal
producing states in which they as
serted the industry was being de-
stroyed and thousands of their citi-
zens affected The states were
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky. In
diana, Illinois, Washington and New
Mexico.
The states agreed with conten-
tons made later in arguments by
Mr.. Dickinson that the Federal
Constitution was imperiled unless
some governmental agency had
power over the huge natural re-
source industry.
