PLEAS CUSTER
ST|RS CAPITAL
vanNuys' Office Is Happy;
Minton Reported Ready
to Aid GreenIee.
BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY
Times STAFF Writer

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-Main
topic of conversation among the
members of the Hoosier delegation
as Congress convened today was not
national affairs but the replacement
of Pleas Greenlee as secretary to
Gov. McNutt:.
Glee was definitely registered in
the office of Senator Frederick VAN
Mugs, where it was pointed out that
Greenlee's leaving was following the
good example set by E. Kirk McKin-
ney in resigning as Hole director
for Indiana to run for the COVER
norship.
Although he refused to comment
and said that Greenlee's replace
ment was purely "the Governor :
business" Senator Sherman Minton
is said to be ready to support the
Greenlee candidacy for the Demo-
cratic gubernatorial nomination with
all the strength he can muster.
His secretary, James Penman, is
oS uC1AlltCiy d 1IcGIlcG IudIlss DIS
VanNuys' secretary, Ben Stern. is
for Mckinney.
To the contention that "Greenlee
can not be elected" Penman replies:
Pleas can be elected Governor as
well as any other Democrat and the
state ticket will go across with that
Of President Roosevelt"
Another Greenlee supporter is in
the city-Atty. Gen. Phil Lutz, but
he is also listed among the % or
more dark horses" in the guberna-
torial race, in case Pleas can't win
the nomination.
Mr.. Lutz says he is here to study
social security legislation essential
for the special session, which is ex-
pected to be called soon.
Guy Colerick, anti-Peters Dem
ocratic lawyer from Fort Wayne,
is here seeking a Federal judgeship.
But if one goes to Indiana, it it not
considered likely to go to him. The
possibility still remains that Sena-
tor Minton might take it himself,
and Gov. McNutt assume the Senate
seat by appointment.

Although there was much off the
record comment about the retire

age secretary by Gov. McNutt, only
one official statement was issued.
That was by Don Irwin, Frank
fort. chairman, and was for the
board. He said that if, as was ap-
parent, the Governors reason for
the retirement" was that a candi-
date for public office should not be

TATTOO FOWL,
RA|sERS TOLD
Branding Is Advocated to
Thwart Indiana Chicken
Thieves.
BY GEORGE H. DENNY

Tattooed chickens soon are to be
a commonplace sight on Indiana
farms and poultry counters, accord
ing to an announcement made today
by Frank Conway, Brendenwood,
chairman of the chicken -thieving
prevention committee of the Indl-
ana Poultry Association.
The chicken "rustling" business
takes yearly toll of many thou
sands of dollars from Indiana farm
ers and it has been nearly impos-
sible for law enforcement agencies
to identify the loot even when the
thieves are apprehended, Mr.. Con-
way said.
The tatto marks on each fowl will
make the Identification of such con-
trahand simple mater inasmuch as
each brand" will be registered at
state police headquarters as well as
with the sheriff of every county.
Seek Stronger Laws
The association, backed by state
police, will work for passage of leg
islation making poultry theft a bur-
glary charge instead of larceny, Mr.
Conway said Such law would in
crease the penalties judges might
impose.
A 10-year membership in the as
ISOLATION will include the tattooine
paraphernalia as we'll as registra-
ton of the marking. There would
be nothing to prevent farmer from
using the mark on his other live
stock as well as his tools and har-
ness, Mr.. Conway pointed out.
The chickens will be tattooed at
the age of two months by stamping
web of skin under the wing, Mr..
Conway said. 1t is the work of a
moment and won't hurt the fowl q
bit, he added.
System Is Approved Elsewhere
The system is in use in a. num-
Der of other states and the Cana
dian government has approved its
use, it is understood.
Mr.. Conway hopes at least 80 per
cent of the poultry raisers in the
state will join the movement. 1t
would just about ruin chicken thiev-
ing as paying business, he believes.
There would be no way to remove
the tattoo except BY cutting away the
piece of skin containing the mark
and dealers would watch carefully
for such mutilation. b
What About "Chickenboys",?
Mr.. Conway didn't say SO, but the
idea occurs to us that we may see
''chickenboys' attired in 10-gallon
hats riding herd on the flocks and
the spring roundup and branding
ceremony soon may be as important
as haymakin' or. thrashin' time on
Indiana ranches"
In the meantime, if you buy a
tattoed broiler don't worry. 1t isn't
disease. It's. a cure-for chicken
stealing. ,>
