PREMIER SEEKS
MEANS TO PAY
$25 A MONTH
Confers With Aids Over
Proposed Gratuity to
All Citizens.
*;/ 1 I’r, .
CALGARY. Alta , Aug. 28.—Fat.
bald Promier-eloct William Alx-r
---hart rushed rheerilv and confidently
forward today with plans to pay
every adult in Alberta 825 a month
from the public treasury. He takes
office next Tuesday, head of the first
Socialist majority ever elected to
a parliament in the British Empire
The date of Mr. Aberhart’s in
auguration is a symbol in itself of
the readiness of the Premier-cleft,
a former school teacher and evangel
ist. to break time-hallowed prece
dents. In the past defeated -Te
rmers have continued in office a
month or more after elections. Pre
mier R. G. Reid, whose Conserva
tive party has ruled Alberta K
years, will be outsed less than two
weeks after his defeat.
Mr. Aberhart possibly was influ
enced to hurry into power by reports
that a veritable horde of persons
willing to recene 825 a month—
men in shabby clothes on freight
trains and highways, families in
rattling flivvers, even apparently
well-to-do persons who uo'ild use
an extra S3OO a year—was moving
toward the province.
Their hopes were drenched a bit
bv Mr Aberhart’s promp’ declara
tion that one year of residence in
Alberta would be a prerequisite to
receipt of the government gratuity.
“Nothing Rash," He Says
Mr. Aberhart attempted, in his
first formal session with newspaper
mfii since the voters gave his Social
Credit Party 53 of 63 parliamentary
seats, to convince capitalists that
they need not fear him.
All Albertans are going to be as
sured of proper food, clothing and
housing." he said, "but I am de
termined to maintain the credit of
Alberta. There will be nothing done j
that is rash. There will be neither
confiscation nor repudiation and in
no province will there be greater
economic security than in Alberta."
Despite his words it was reported
• hat several of the largest bank ac
counts have been moved out of the
province. *
The future Premier still refused
to dwell on details of the methods
by which he is going to pay $25
monthly to 450.000 adults, but ne did
reveal that something like a "brain
trust" will aid him.
Ho Has a Brain Trust
A chief brain-truster probably will
bp Mai. C. H. Douglas, he said.
Mai. Douglas, a consulting engineer
and economist educated at Cam
bridge University, formerly was
chief engineer and manager in In
dia for the British Westinghou.se
Cos. His voluminous writings have
for years advocated some such pro
gram as that of the Alberta Social
Credit party.
The party is pledged to provide:
1. A bi.sic dividend of $25 month
ly. to begin with, to every adult
ritizen. The dividend will be in the
form of credit to provide necessities
of food, clothing and shelter.
2. An automatic price control sys
tem to fix a fair price at which
goods and service will be available.
3. A continuous flow of credit.
‘Please Be Patient’
Mr. Aberhart laughed a bit at the
clamor for detailed exposition of
his plans.
"Please be patient." he asked. “I
feel like a young horse that wants
to get going, but give me time."
Mr. Aberhart claims that the So
cial Credit party victory, breath
.aking to old line politicians in its
unexpectedness, is due to a deep
change in the grass roots of the
electorate. At least partly, hov ever,
it is attributable to his own person
ality and unorthodox campaign
manners.
Cynical critics dubbed him - the
Father Coughlin of the Plains" be
cause of the evangelical flavor he
gave to his speeches. He mingled
quotations from many schools of
economics with lines from every
book of the Bible and no audience
escaped the emotional appeal of
sacred songs.

Legionnaires Return to
Homes After Renewing
Ideals at Parley Here
Lafayette Dentist Named Commander. Other Officers Are
Selected at Harmonious Session: Principles Out
lined in Series of Resolutions.
Their Legion principles and objectives renewed through addresses
and resolutions Indiana's Legionnaires had evacuated Indianapolis today
and returned to their homes after four days of convention.
Before they left late yesterday, they elected Dr. A. R. Killian. Lafay
ette dentist, for their state commander, and selected other officers, with no
floor fights for candidates. •
They also passed a resolution condemning the administration of Dr.
G. Bromley Oxnam at De Pauw University, calling it radical and Corn*
mum-tic, and accusing the educator
of bringing in "radical and pacifist
speakers” who mislead the students
about the “realities of life."
They adopted a resolution that
asked for a *. .al law requiring
the registration o i ail aliens, and
they a ked the next Indiana Legis
lature to pass a lav; requiring all
pubiic school teaehers to swear al
legiance to the flag of the nation.
Legion leaders exhorted the dele
gates to fight organizations that op
pose them "by molding their
thought” rather than with simple
oratory, and urged them to take a
stand against the church in its
views on preparedness and peace.
Federal Eeonomy Urged
The leaders urged them to join
with the United States Chamber of
Commerce and the National Econ
omy League to see that a real econ
omy in government is created, so
'hat "our disabled veterans will not
have to assume the burden of main
taining the country’s credit."
It was informally stated by state
Legion leaders that this convention
was one of the most colorful and
successful of recent years, and
would do much toward building
membership, which today, they said,
is optimistically large.
The Legion resolutions and
speeches drew fire today from one
source. Dr. Floyd I. McMurray,
state public instruction superin
tendent, interpreted the attack as
being shared by public schools in
the state.
McMurray Answers Charge
He said:
"Until this office is informed
definitely and with something more
than hearsay, we will brand state
ments that Communism, atheism
and anarchism are being taught in
our schools as ignorance, which is
inexcusable in this enlightened day,
or as a deliberate and gioss mis
statement of facts.
"Too many people who ought to
know better are going up and down
the land denouncing our young
people, and if there is a lost gener
ation in our day it is not the grow
ing generation."
Other officers elected were:
William Hyland, Evansville, vice
commander of the southern district;
Russell Rhodes, Peru, northern vice
commander; the Rev. Dan Hogan,
Kok<gno, chaplain; John Ruddick,
Indianapolis, finance officer; Isidore
Levine, La Porte, national commit
teeman; Bruce Peters, Cambridge
City, judge advocate, and Claude
Holmes, Gary, sergeant-at-arms.
Ray Named Delegate
Delegates to the national conven
tion will be Sheriff Otto Ray, Frank
Kossa, Jeffersonville, retiring state
commander; A. C. Duddleston. Terre
Haute; Lyle Summers, New burg,
and Dr. Killian.
District commanders elected in
caucuses during the four-day ses
sions were announced yesterday.
They are Harold E. Holloway. Ham
mond, first; George Fate, Rensse
laer, second; Lewis J. Murphy. South
Bend, third: the Rev. Fred R. Hill,
Lagrange, fourth: Charles Samuels,
Jonesboro, fifth; Ray Townsley,

Linton, seventh; Charles Scull. Can
nelton. eighth; Martin W. Stein
wedel, Seymour, ninth: Fred Otte,
Cambridge City, tenth; Justin
Shaul, Alexandria, eleventh, and
Ralph Gregg, Indianapolis, twelfth.
The Legion and its allied organ
izations opened the convention Sat
urday and continued through Sun
day, Monday and yesterday with
business meetings, banquets, enter
tainment. dancing and a mammoth
parade Monday.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
CITY ENTRANT
WINS PLACE IN
JUNIORCONTEST
Times Squadron Flier Is
Second in Model Air
Speed Event.
BY BERNARD HARMON
Times Staff Writer
CLEVELAND, Aug. 28.—Leonard
Becker. Cleveland High School stu
dent, sent his rubber-band-motored
plane the length of the 88-foot run
way in one second to nose out James
Cahill. Indianapolis Times Squadron
entrant, for first place in the speed
dash event of the annual Scripps-
Howard Junior air races yesterday.
Young Cahill's time for the distance
was one and one-tenth seconds.
By covering the 88 feet in one sec
ond. Becker attained a speed of 60
miles an hour from his model, while
Cahill's official speed was 55 miles
an hour. Two other Indianapolis
entrants placed high in the event.
Robert Cahill finishing fifth, and
Verne Boehle, sixth. John Foster,
the fourth of The Times’ entrants,
was forced to withdraw his plane
after a smashup in a test flight.
Rain Causes Race Transfer
The speed event, originally sched
uled to be held at the municipal
Airport, was transferred to the
mammoth Cleveland public audi
torium, after a downpour made the
field unfit for the contest.
The acrobatic races and original
design contests, also scheduled for
yesterday, were postponed and will
be held today in connection with the
stick model contest at the airport.
After toppling records in Mon
day's fuselage event, entrants from
the 16 Scripps-Howard Junior Avi
ator Squadrons look forward to
establishing new marks in the stick
model events.
All four Indianapolis Times en
trants will compete and are hopeful
of making a better showing than in
the fuselage event, when John Fos
ter proved the high place winner
by taking third in the junior divi
sion. He will flv in that division to
day, while the other entrants will
compete in the senior division.
A1 Williams Arrives Today
The junior air aces are anxiously
awaiting the arrival of Maj. A1 Wil
liams, noted pilot, chief of the
Scripps-Howard Junior Aviators.
Maj. Williams is expected to arrive
today and will take a hand in con
ducting the contests.
On display in the Hollenden
Hotel. Junior Aviator headquarters,
is the beautiful A1 Williams silver
trophy, which will go to the youth
ful birdman scoring the most points
during the four-day meet. The name
of the winner will be inscribed on
the trophy, and the newspaper
sponsoring his entry will take pos
session of it for one year, passing
it on to the winner in 1936.
The scene of action will shift to
the airport tomorrow, when gaso
line-propelled models will vie for
honors. Friday the visiting juve
niles will be guests of the senior air
race officials at the Famous Fliers
luncheon, and will also witness the
opening day's events of the senior
meet.
