COUNTY PARTIES
ORGANIZE TODAY:
WPA PROBE LAGS
VanNuys May Confer With
Hopkins Aid Today
or Monday.
WAYNE COY is PRAISED
Only Mild Censure, if Any,
Is Expected for State,
Regional Chief.

WASHINGTON, May g.
Senator Frederick VanNuys
announced today that he ex-
poets to hold a final confer
ence with Col. Lawrence
Westbrook, assistant to Di-
rector Harry L. Hopkins of
WPA, regarding the Indiana
WPA investigation.
Col. Westbrook has been out of
the city, but should return today,
and we will confer either upon his
return or on Monday" Senator
VanNuys said
with the primary election over
in Indiana interest in the matter
seems to be tagging here. WPA
headquarters has said nothing
about the report, but are again
praising the administration of
Wayne Coy, both as state and
regional WPA director"
Mr.. Coy has charge of the states
from which most of the complaints
of politics" have come-Indiana,
Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
But he remains in high favor with
Mr.. Hopkins, his accomplishments
having brought him special inv.~
tation to the White House, where
he presided at a showing of Indiana
WPA IN pictures some weeks ago.
1t is considered unlikely that the
report will censure him further than
stating he may be guilty of mild
indiscretions on the political side in
Indiana.
Senator VanNuys is said to credit
his insistent plea for a probe with
the political success OF his faction
in the st. Joseph County Demo-
cratic primary. That was the spot
to which he directed special atten-
ton in making his charges of WPA
political coercion.

SKILLED LABOR
NEEDED, REPORT
State Shortage of Trained
Machinists Revealed by
Job Office.
BY JOHN JOHNSON

A shortage of tool die makers
machlnists, machine repair men and
trained workers for similar Jobs in
Indianapolis and Indiana was dis
closed today by the Indiana Employ
ment Service, which now has re-
quests for 70 persons qualified for
such work.
The shortage was confirmed by a
personnel official of the Diamond
Chain and Manufacturing Co., who
said that his firm had noticed .
shortage of trained machinists
during the last two years.
He attributed part of it to De-
troit factories farming out their
tool and machine work to places
where enough skilled workmen are
not available.
An employment officer of the J.
D. Adams Manufacturing Co. said
that, although his concern had no
need of such workers now, he was
not sure he could find them if need
ed. He ascribed the shortage in
part to increased business activity
in the durable goods industries.
The P. r. Mallory Co., Inc, has
started an apprentice school for ma
chinists and tool die workers to

WARM WEEKEND is
PREDICTED FOR CITY
Temperature Already at 80,
to Go Higher.

1t will be warm here tonight and
tomorrow afternoon, the weather
bureau predicted today.
According TO j. H. Arlington,
United States meteorological, a low
pressure trough over the lower Mis-
souri, River valley was responsible
for the unreasonable heat. Most
eastern cities were having southerly
winds.
Bureau records showed that yes
terday's top reading of 81 degrees
was the hottest for May here since
1896, when the mercury climbed
to 90.
This morning the mercury jumped
from SO degrees at a. m. to so 6e-
grees at 9. Mr.. Arlington ex-
pected it to so into the high eighties
late this afternoon.

REBEL DEMOCRATS
FIGHT PROFIT LEVY
insurgents Work on Com
promise for Proposed Tax.
By United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, May 9. - In
surgent Democrats of the Senate
Finance Committee labored today
on compromise designed to
change drastically the Administra-
TONS proposed tax on undistributed
corporate earnings without entirely
abandoning the fundamental phil
osophy of the 1903, 000,00 revenue
bill.
The committee uprising against
the steeply graduated levy intended
to force corporations to divide
earnings in taxable dividends ap-
peared to be gathering strength
steadily, encouraged from Repub-
lican sources by Senator James
Couzens' strong announcement of
the measure.
Admittedly certain notifications
will be made and informal confer
ences this weekend of Democratic
committee members opposing the
corporate surplus tax probably will
disclose the accuracy of Couzens'
assertion that "a large number"
are in favor of rewriting that pro-
poSal.

LABOR HACKERS HAIL
RELIEF BILL CHANGE
Amendment Provides for
Prevailing Wages.
By United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, May Coon
gressional supporters of organized
labor hailed the prevailing wage
amendment to the s2,364 900 600
work-relief deficiency bill today as
a forerunner of a Federal short
work week-law.
The amendment ordering WPA
Administration Harry Hopkins to
pay prevailing wage rates to ap-
proximately 100000 persons cleared
the way in the House for final roll
calls and passage of the record
peace time appropriation Monday.
The only other amendment to the
Administration measure would pro-
hibit aliens illegally in the United
States from going on relief rolls.
House leaders beat down insurgent
attempts to otherwise alter the bill
and predicted it would go to the
Senate in a form acceptable to
President Roosevelt.

built into the daily living of the
American people," the Senate COM
mittee on post Offices and post roads
said in urging passage of the meas
ure.
Since 1916 the states and the
Federal government have been
working in excellent cooperation on
this gigantic task. The imperative
need for this measure is in the fact
that the states should have know
ledge of congressional action in
order to arrange to continue their
participation.
The bill provides for forest high
ways, national park roads and
trails, national parkways, elimina-
ton of grade crossings and farm
to-market roads, for which sz5 ,O00,-
900 is earmarked for each of the
two years"

For Norris

ScripDs-H ot0drd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, May 9. -
Friends of Senator George w.
Norris of Nebraska, for years
leader Of the progressive Re-
publican vanguard in Congress
and now a staunch supporter
of President Roosevelt, fore
cast today that he would run
for reelection as an indepen-
dent in November.
The NebraSkans entry into
a three-cornered race now is
virtually certain, they said, be-
cause of his Endorsement by
the Democratic state conven-
ton in Nebraska. The conven-
ton turned its back on Terry
McGovern Carpenter, Demo-
cratic nominee in the recent
primary and candidate of the
Townsend and Father CoughIin
forces.
This demand that the "a
year-old veteran run with
Democratic support comes on
top of numerous appeals from
both Democrats and Repub-
licans that the Senator forgo
his expressed intention to re-
tire.
