NEWS Hobi) "Bootjacks' Lead Allen Hendricks's Collection Including Knives and Guns Just TODAY FNEWGRANDJURY Boake Carter COUNTY WELFARE STAFFSARESHORT 92 Units in State Employ 143 Fewer Than Standard, Says Gottschalk A hobby that grew out of a daily need, resulted in an amusing collection of old bootjacks by Allen Hendricks, librarian at the Indiana University medical center, who Is one of the few in the city to possess these mementoes of the day of the boot and saddle. Years ago when Mr. Hendricks spent most of his time down at his lovely bungalow in Brown county (before the Brown county cabins dotted the landscape -in such profusion), he roamed the hills in high rubber boots besides spending much of his time on horseback. One day in a little shop he came across an old bootjack, a grotesque black iron beetle, the horns fashioning the holders by which to remove the boots. Nothing could be handier to have around the Hendricks bungalow, he thought, and he took the prize home with him.

He found it so convenient, he began looking around in out-of-the-way shops to carry out his idea, "A bootjack in every room." He soon had not only those, but several to spare. Some of them are very interesting and all reminiscent of the simplicity of an early day.

Founded by George Washington, in 1732, as a recognition of military merit, the order is the second oldest award for gallantry and bravery, being preceded only by the Cross of St. George, of Russia. Washington created the order for valor shown in the revolutionary war when he was forced to discontinue promotions for unusual bravery In action because of the army's lack of funds. The Order of the Purple Heart was revived in 1932, after the purpose: of the award was learned by an employe of the Library of Congress.

TWO MORE YOUTHS HELD IN GIRL ASSAULT CASE Two additional arrests were announced today by detectives investigating a thirteen-year-old girl's story that she had been assaulted by seven persons at Intervals in recent weeks.

Road Curbing to Be Yellow Colored concrete will be used for the first timeT in state road construction on the dual lane roadway which will be built soon fn U. S. Road 40 from Indianapolis to Cumberland. Unable to obtain enough right-of-way to construct the usual parkway between the two road lanes, the highway commission will build a curbing separating the lanes.

The curb will be four inches high, four feet wide at its base, sloping to a two-foot width at the top. Sloping sides of the curb will be in concrete of yellow, white and natural colors. The coloring' will serve as warning of the presence of the curb as well as an experiment for the state highway department which is attempting to determine what color is most discerible under all driving conditions. The coloring of the concrete will be effected by using pigment in the mixing. Bids for the entire project will be taken July 13.

The judge was not pleased with this, but he was particularly provoked at Klitch, who said he fired one blank cartridge at the other car, and then sent a real bullet into one of its fenders. He was charged with carrying a revolver -without a permit, assault and battery with felonious intent, and shooting in the city limits.

Lewis, that Secretary Frances Perkins says sit-down strikes are illegal, and that Secretary Daniel Roper says the right to -work is as sacred as the right to strike and should be "To the C. I. O. leaders: Plee-se r.ote that President Roosevelt has roi indorsed either the statement by Secretary Perkins or Secretary Roper and that he told an assembled group of Washington correspondents on luesday of this week that he had not ever, read either statement by the members of his cabinet." If the foregoing had been issued from the White House this week, it wouK have occasioned no less surprise than what was actually transmitted to the press by the President of the United States. In the midst of an acute controversy in the history of labor warfare, when the whole nation is aroused by abuses e-gainst law and order, a constructive statement is issued by the secretary of commerce telling the country that citizens have the right to be protected by every i-ourcc of authority, federal, state end local, in their desire to work-Such an important declaration together with Mr.

Roper's discussion of other aspects of the labor controversies in Ohio, and Michigan might be expected to reflect the viewpoint of the government of the United States. The newspaper correspondents 'certainly thought so and perhaps the business men of the nation, who have again and again been asked to believe reassuring statements by Secretary Roper, thought the same thing. President Pleads Innocence. There came coincidentally a statement by the secretary of labor, something awaited for more than two months, an admission that sit-down strikes were illegal. For many weeks the nation has looked for some word on this subject from the administration in Washington.

When it came, many press correspondents, and perhaps many millions of citizens who read It in the newspapers, thought, of course, it was significant as an expression of the Rooscveitadminlstration itself. 'But when the press conference was held this week and the correspondents had their usual opportunity to inquire about the meaning of public statements, a curious answer was given them. Asked if he indorsed the secretary of labor's statement on sit-down strikes, the President replied that he had not read it that he had read nly the headlines. Akcd also if he had read the sUtfment by the secretary of commerce, Mr. Roosevelt answered that he had not read that pronouncement either.

How can two members of the cabinet make important declarations on so vital a subject of. labor policy without 'he President knowing in advance what they were going to say? If Mr. Roosevelt was merely fencing with the correspondents and trying to avoid or evade their question, then his answer may have meant that he had not read it in the newspapers and it might have meant that he actually read it or was acquainted with the substance before the statement was Issued. Did Not Explain Seif. Mr.

Roosevelt, who prides himself on his frankness with the press, dli not undertake to explain the discrepancy, and since the correspondents are respectful to the President in their conferences, they did not Insist on an explanation of what looks on the surface to be an, unfortunate equivocation. But. supposing the President did hot know i cdvance what two members of his caul net were preparing to say on labor policy, this would tend to give the impression that cabinet members speak their individual views and in no way reflect the administration's viewpoint as a whole or the President's policy in particular. Not so long ago, on the other hand. President Roosevelt told the press ths-t.

when the executives of General Motors declined an invitation from the secretary of labor for conference, it was tantamount to rejecting an invitation from the of the United States. "For this rrason it has been generally inferred that what Miss Perkins says on k-bor policy is a close reflection of the President's own viewpoint. What possible explanation is there for Mr. Roosevelt's desire to avoid telling the press that he knew about the Perkins and Roper statements in advance ard why would he give the impression that he personally was not aware of their contents before publication or that he we neither approving or disapproving whai they said? The only Inference that seems logical i' that President Roosevelt wanted the CI. O.

leaders to know that the two cabinet members were saying what they did merely as a sop to the conservatives nd that it was done to check the wave of hostility which has been rising aeainst the administration's alliance with the I. O. Indeed, newspaper headlines in publications friendly to the administration disclosed about the same time rumors of a break between Mr. Lewis and the President, which news was calculated to cheer the hearts of an aroused mid die class and make the citizens feel that the administration was really preparing to checkmc-te the excesses of labor zealots.

To the first part of that charge this column pleads an emphatic "Not To the second' half of the same charge this column pleads object to th nebulous promises made bj the leaders of the C. I. O. I object to their refusal to explain what they do with the funds they collect from the pocketbooks or pay envelopes of their members. I object to the terrorism their organizers utilize to force workmen into their ranks.

I object to their efforts to destroy the old unions of craftsmen which have cared for their members well as any social organization In the world possibly could. I object to their desire to promote not better relations between men and management, so that all may prosper, but rather bitterness, dissatisfaction, perpetual strife and social turmoil. A linotype operator from Shreve-port, points out to me how he found; himself without a job in Texas in the beginning of the de- pression and, having a "card" in the International Typographical Union, was aided by his union in a temporary job; how all members in his international chipped in to help some member who didn't have a job. Now," says he, "with the help of the union I am self-supporting and believe that if a man has a right to put a price on a dozen eggs that I have the right to put a price on my day's labor. Sure, we have to pay dues, but we have our own pension, our own home and hospital and mortuary benefit." Ah, but, here is speaking a man who represents the very antithesis of the C.

I. O. He is a craftsman, and he is proud of his craft and the excellence of his labor. And he speaks of a union of craftsmen which has dealt magnificently with its members and. most Important of all, Is an organization unwittingly built on that most fundamental of all human emotionscompetition.

are craftsmen who take not only pride in their work but in themselves. What is that but the very essence of human nature? That very characteristic makes them respected. Their members began as apprentices, and as they became more skilled their rating increased and the price of their day's labor increased rightly and accordingly. But what does; the C. I.

O. stand for? It says that every one who works at a job, no matter how lazy or inefficient he may ought to get the same money as the industrious and efficient. To pursue this philosophy, it sets about methodically to, smash down the old respected, intelligent unions and steal from them the benefits Df their pensions, their homes, their hos--pital and their mortuary arrangements. That is what I object to about the C. I.

O. If the C. I. O. is only trying to force employers- to pay higher wages, grabs enough money in ever-increasing rates of dues from the workmen it drives into its fold, refuses to explain where that money is going, refuses to say one thing about benefits, hospitalization and pensions then it seems there is only one interpretation left, and that is that the leaders of the C.

I. O. are engaged in a thinly camouflaged holdup racket. How about the men who could not pay their dues In the depression? Many unions reduced the dues to fit conditions, but still thousands of men couldn't pay. What happened to them? If we have such a vast crowd of union men in America, then how is it that we have so many workmen being cared for on WPA rolls by the government.

Why aren't they being cared for by Mr. Lewis end his henchmen? Simply pecausfe the C. I. O. leaders are interested only in those workmen who can be counted on to come across with the dough each month.

It's the dough that counts most, not the betterment of work' conditions for, all workmen in general. If they were, they wouldn't smash down the real decent unions. That's what 1 object to about the I. 0. It's so unfair to the very men it pretends it wants to help.

It seems to me what with the government paying pensions and offering old-age security; with the states doing the same thing; with employers an-' their pensions and hospitalization, and the old-time unions, such as the Typographical with their pensions, hospitalization and mortuary benefits, the workmen comes cut far better in the end than the middle class. The middle-class person always worries about old age. because he has no one to run around andplay wet nurse for him. The tragedy of America at the moment to me seems to be that too many people have lost their fight. Too many of today's generation have let their sense of values become so distorted that they demand every luxury without having to compete or fight for it.

Every one wants to be assured hell be safe. He want to live life, but he doesn't want to accept the risks of life at the same time. He wants everything, but is unwilling to take any The trouble with America isn't the C. I. O.

The trouble at the moment is that the "have nots" wants everything belonging to the "haves," but they don't want to work for them. The C. I. O. is riding on that temporary wave of discontent, pockets the cash from the workers envelopes and gives nothing in return like the old intelligent craft unions.

Gottschalk, welfare administrator, said today. Under the welfare standard 632 persons must be on the staffs administering the 1936 state law, but only 539 are at present on the pay rolls in the county offices, a compilation issued from the welfare state office shows. "A number of county departments have been understaffed during the first year of the program," Gottschalk said.

"As a result the work of these agencies has not gone forward as rapidly as it should.

Young men should do their courting in homes instead, of in automobiles in lonely places, Judge Charles J. Karabell, of municipal court, said today in commenting on a "lovers lane" shooting. He sent the case of Robert Klitch, age nineteen, living in Day street, to the grand jury, after hearing evidence that Klitch had fired a revolver at an automobile after, one of the occupants had turned a flashlight in his face as he sat In a car with his seventeen-year-old girl friend. Klitch 'and his girl were in the Play Dodge 'Em in Auto Storage bumping fenders, knicking posts and walls and. honking horns.

The building is 500 feet long, and the automobiles were stored on the third floor where plenty of room was available. The boys, it was said, broke a lock on an elevator and rode to this floor. Changing mounts whenever the desire gripped them, the boys drove hither and yon like the customers who try to steer the little round, cars at the amusement parks. Thomas Hahika, aft official of the company, said the damage to the cars was "at least $500." One car was wrecked completely, and the others suffered crumpled fenders, broken bumpers, crushed running boards, etc. But the celebration did not end with this The boys took one car to the second raced it around a short time and then took it to the first floor and away.

They drove to Seymour, saw the sights, and then returned to Indianapolis. That night Detective Hansford Burke saw the car at Jones street and the Belt railroad, and fired two shots in an attempt to capture the occupants, but they escaped on foot. Later Detective Emmett Staggs rounded up Rose and his friends, the latter being turned over to juvenile authorities because of their age. Rose was bound to the grand jury on charges of burglarly and vehicle taking, but a charge of malicious tresspass was dismissed. He admitted he drove the car after it was taken from the warehouse, but he declined to assume responsibility for driving it oujk of the building.

Captain John Blackwell and his men from Engine House 30 responded to a call, and Robert Gan-doipho, a member of the Indiana national guard, was lowered into the cistern with ropes. He was pulled out, holding the dog in his arms. SATURDA I Because a News want ad reaches 150,000 families a night and because 11 words cost only 50c -it's a bargain every night.
