VANNUYS LOST
FIGHT AGAINST
BANKRUPT ACT
Opposed Municipal Measure
With Same Arguments
Used by Court.
Timn Sprrial
WASHINGTON, May 26 As
chairman of the Senate subcommit
tee* which handled the municipal
bankruptcy act in 1934, Senator
Frederick VanNuys urged its defeat
on the grounds of unconstitution
ality.
The very views expressed by Sena
tor VanNuys in his minority report
were upheld in the majority deci
sion of the Supreme Court in void
ing the act on constitutional
grounds, it was pointed out today.
Throughout his report Senator
VenNuys declared that to extend
Federal bankruptcy laws to munici
palities was an invasion of the sov
ereign rights of states. It was this
view which formed the basis of the
Supreme Court decision.
States Rights Argument
In his recommendations against
passage of the measure, Senator
VanNuys stressed two points: First,
the bill is unconstitutional. Sec
ond, that the policy of enacting
such legislation is ill-advised.
OutLning the powers granted un
der the bill, Senator VanNuys com
mented :
“It is submitted that the grant of
above powers to a court of bank
ruptcy is an interference with the
powers, rights and privileges of the
sovereign states.”
Opposed by Legion
He cited the opposition to the bill
of the American Legion which had
four and one-half millions invested
in municipal securities through the
Endowment Fund Corp.
The measure also was opposed by
the American Bar Association,
American Bankers’ Association,
Chamber of Comerce of the United
States end the Association of Indi
ana Legal Reserve Life Insurance
Companies.
Signing the minority report with
Senator VenNuys were Senators Pat
McCarran (D„ Nev.), Daniel O.
Hastings fR„ Del.), and Felix Her
bert <R„ R. I.).

PARK CONCERTS
HELD VALUABLE
TO COMMUNITY
Free Symphony Programs
Scheduled to Be Held
June 7, 20.
The two free symphony concerts
to be held in June in Garfield Park
by Indianapolis Symphony Society
members are to have a three-fold
vrlue, Ferdinand Schaefer, Sym
phony director, said today.
A stimulation if interest in out
door music, a contact with the South
Side community and an oppoi tunity
to perfect the orchestra’s ensemble
were enumerated by Mr. Schaefer as
objectives of the concerts.
The opening program is scheduled
for 8 Sunday night, June 7, and the
second June 20. The concerts are
to be presented from an out-door
stage in the park.
The City Council appropriated
S7OO to finance the programs. An
old state law limiting municipal mu
sical assessments to SI2OO annually
blocked adequate financial backing
for the additional two of the four
proposed concerts.

ready appropriated for music. It is
to be used for band concerts, A. C.
Sallee, city park superintendent, ex
plained.
“One or two concerts won’t mean
very much,” Mr. Schaefer said, “but
we feel it is an opening to develop
interest in music. If the people are
responsive there is no reasen why
annual series of concerts shouldn’t
be given in future years.”
“A four months’ vacation is too
long for musicians, and the addi
tional concerts will enable them to
play together for a longer time, in
suring greater harmony and per
fection,” he declared.
Mr. Schaefer delayed a trip abroad
to conduct the Sunday concerts. He
expects to leave June 21 for Italy,
Austria and Germany, returning the
first week in September.
