VIENNA, May Fl. = A
three-man dictatorship was
envisaged by the cabinet to-
day to end the dangerous sit
uation precipitated by the
ousting from power of Prince
Ernst Won Starhemberg,
HeimWehr leader.
At an emergency meeting which
extended late into the night, the
cabinet gave final form TO the draft
of a law by which the country
would have three 'fuehrers," they
are:
Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg, as
commander of the fatherland front,
the combined semi-private armies.
Vice Chancellor Eduard Baar vor
Barrenfels, as national commander
of the new armed front" militia.
army auxiliary.
Prince Starhemberg, as national
sports leader and head of the
Motherhood Protective Association.
Schuschnigg would be the SUI
preme head. Starhemberg, however,
despite the trivial titular nature of
his status, would be restored to CO.
operation. Each of the triumvirate
would be termed fuehrer.
There was no immediate indica-
ton whether all factions would ac-
cept the drafted law.

U. S. BAKERS REFUSE
BREAD PRICE DATA
Council Unable to Decide
Reason for Rise.

By Scripps-H Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, May 81. Al
though processing taxes ended four
months ago, bread costs more in 10
cities than it did last fall. In Is
other cities there has been no re-
duction in price. Prices have been
reduced in % cities.
These figures are reported in the
latest issues of Consumers Guide,
published by the AAA. Averaged to-
gether they show a net reduction of
i cent per pound loaf for all cities.
Whether the processing tax had
anything to do with the increases
which took place last fall or wheth-
er its abandonment had anything
to do with the reductions, consum-
ers' counsel of the AAA can't say, 1t
reports, because bakers refused to
give it any information.

WASHINGTON, May 21.-Wayne
Coy, state WPA director, and his
administration were eXonerated this
afternoon in the report of the In
diana situation by Harry Hopkins,
WPA administrator.
The investigation was made after
Senator Frederick VanNuys charged
that WPA employees were being
coerced to vote for certain candi-
dates.
In his letter to Senator VanNuys,
Mr.. Hopkins enclosed the complete
report of Pierce Williams, WPA in
vestigator, who made a visit to In
diana.
The report pointed out that it was
easy to overemphasize political re-
ports spread during primary cam
paign."
Mr.. Williams pointed out that the
most likely cause for complaint was
the appointment of non-relief WPA

Gross Income Division Has
Authority to Collect
Levy, Finding.
SUPREME COURT RULES
National Institutions Not
Affected, High Indiana
JuriStS Say.

The Indiana Supreme Court
today had ruled that the Gross
Income Tax Division of the
State Treasury Department
may continue to collect gross
income assessments from
state banks.
The decision, handed down yes
terday, was made in connection with
case filed by the Bankers Trust
Co. of indianapolis against the
Treasury Department, under which
the gross income tax division oper-
ates. The suit originated in Marion
Superior Court and sought to re-
cover money paid by the bank as
gross income tax.
The Indiana State Bankers Asso-
citation financed the litigation.
1t was based upon the contention
that state banks were Disseminated
against because they were required
to pay the gross income assessment
while national banks did not pay.
Opinion Written by Fansler
The Supreme Court opinion, writ
ten by Judge Michael Fansler, held
that the Indiana act provided for
assessment of the tax against banks.
National banks are exempt by an
act of Congress and not by the state
law, the opinion said, and conse-
quently, if there is discrimination it
is through congressional action and
not by Indiana statute.
In another decision the Supreme
Court held valid the sale of the
United States Encaustic Tile Works
to the United States Tile Corp. by
Donald Morris, receiver of the for
mer company. The sale had been
attacked by group of stockholders
of the old company.

ROME, May 21.-Marshal
Pietro Badoglio, hero of the
East African war, FASTENED
to crisis-ridden Europe today
-12 days after his appoint
ment as Viceroy OF; Ethiopia.
No reason was apparent, on the
surface, for his sudden, unexpected,
start. But it seemed clear that 1t
meant early developments of major
Importance to Italy and Europe.
Sent to retrieve the Italian for
tunes in Ethiopia last November,
Marshal Badoglio electrified the
army and entered Adds Ababa in
triumph May and in a statement
indicated that he intended to re-
main for a considerable time.
On May 9 he was named viceroy
of Ethiopia.
Recent Events Reviewed
Since that day the League of Ma
tions council has voted to continue
penalties against Italy for its war
on Ethiopia, to Premier MuSSolinis
open, fierce rage; the Italian dele
cation to the League has left Cen
eva and it has been announced that
FOL will rt ~
League activity until the penalties
are removed; Chancellor Kurt
Schuschnigg has seized power in
Austria, ousting Mussolini'S protege
and satellite, Prince Ernst Won
Starhemberg; there has been a
somewhat mysterious Italian Brit
ish exchange of discourtesies over
charges that British firms sent
dumdum bullets to Africa.
Italian newspapers for days past
have talked more and more of the
danger-almost the certainty-of
war in Europe.
News that Badoglio had left Adds
Ababa came unexpectedly and
laconically in authoritative mes
SageS from the capital.
GraZiani Put in Charge
These dispatches said that Mar
shall Rodolfo GRAHAM, commander
in-chief in eastern Ethiopia, arrived
at Adds Ababa from Harar at 10
a. m. yesterday.
Badoglio at once handed over au-
thority to Marshal GRAHAM, his sec
ond in command in Ethiopia, to rule
the country as regent"
Then Marshal Badoglio quietly
left the capital, the dispatches said
in an airplane piloted by his own
son, Lieut.. Mario Badoglio.
Well-informed persons said here
that Marshal Badoglio would not
return to Africa and that Marshal
Graziani soon would be named for

is that King Victor Emmanuel, upon

GARDEN URGED
BY MAYOR FOR

Local Students.
TWO SITES SUGGESTED
SaIIee Told to Call Meeting
of Teachers; Plans Will
Be Formulated.

Mayor Kern today proposed to the
Park Board that a municipal
botanical garden be established in a
city park as laboratory for
botany students.
A. c. Sallee, city park superinten-
dent, was ordered to call meeting
of botany teachers from all Indian
apolis schools to formulate plans to
be presented to the Board next fall.
The mayor suggested the garden
be managed comparatively by the
Park Board and city garden clubs.
Mr.. Sallee suggested Holiday or
Riverside Parks as possibilities.
Suggests Forest Preserve
Mrs. Louis e. Markun, board
member, recommended that a por-
ton of the Harding farm acquired
for the West Side park be set aside
for forest preserve.
r.. H. Noel, 1918 Greenfield-av,
asked that a playground for Negro
children be established on a tract
between S. Ritter and S. Arlington
avs. The board indicated it favored
the proposition.
Mr.. Noel said the Marion County
Recreation Bureau had received g
promise from the owner of the prop
erty that he would loan it to the city
If equipment for playground was
provided. From IS to 100 Negro
children in that neighborhood have
no recreational facilities, Mr.. Noel
said.
$500 Expenditure Approved
The board approved the expenoi-
ture of $500 for a chlorinating sys-
tenn in the wading pool at College
av and Fall Creek-blvd. The health
department requested that the sys-
tenn be installed, because from 800
to 1000 children use the pool. A
new pool is to be constructed at
Washington-s and Bethel Park.
The board discussed a proposal
to restore the Garfield Park lagoon.
First hearing on the acquisition OF
the West Side park land was set
for June 4.
