P. Chairman Enlists Aid of Anti-New Deal Dems on Roosevelt Anniversary. WASHINGTON Renewed Republican talk of coalition with anti-administration Democrats arose today on tho New Deal's third anniversary, Charles D. Hilles, Republican national committeeman from New York, declared "there is much merit in the suggestion of utilizing in important roles thoroughly competent Democrats who are courageously resisting the president and his destructive doctrines." Hilles' remark recalled a suggestion by Senator VandenberR of Michigan in a Lincoln day speech. Vanilenberg in i "Jefl'ersonian" Democrats to Join Republicans against.

President Roosevelt during the campaign and "in tho council chamber after next November's victory is won." l'rowiis on I'roposal. At the time Rep. Knell (R. N. Y.I the minority leader, frowned upon that suggestion.

Chairman Henry I'. Fletcher of the Itepub-lican national committee, said he had heard talk of a coalition but declined to discuss it. Another political development discussed today was the appearance of eleventh hour opposition to Tammany's designation of Alfred K. Smith, as a delegate to the Democratic convention from which he ha treatened to "take a walk" if the New Deal is endorsed. Before filing time expired at midnight Joseph O'Neill, Slaten Island lawyer, filed a petition nominating himself from the 11th New York congressional district.

Smith and William A. Fetherston had been designated from that 'district. The opposition will be carried to the primary election. vnivm Vm.Olwmimgs ir a -i-i im ii ft A I uln 1 1 ''n; Mv4 it Ii IS-V If Wives are. Bought wifrt WIVES ARE.

During the past week, a report of the Chamber of Commerce estimated that business loses $50,000 a year in supporting Advertising and soliciting schemes which are grossly misrepresented enterprises. The Chamber, incidentally, attempts to protect the business man against this form of graft.

The organization will, it its advice is asked, inform business as to whether or not a promotion is worthwhile or valueless. It will also issue curds to solicitors when it is satisfied of the value of the promotion. Business men seldom avail themselves of this service, however. Tip to advertising managers of school papers: (Jet cards from the Chamber before calling on merchants for ads. GRIEF.

Only comment on the civil service headache over the police chief appointment for the day; Civil service commissioners receive the handsome reniuneralion of $12.50 per month for their services. Anybody will agree that they ask for a lot of punishment, and take it, for that amount of money. IDENTITY. That third man mentioned some weeks ago as a potential candidate in the Republican primary for the county representative's nomination is Leo Seybold, jr. His name may be mentioned now, since he has definitely made up his mind to come out for the office.

In a card from Colli minis, where he is doing post-graduate work at Ohio State, he objects to reference made to him as a "youngster." Which denotes the seriousness of his intentiom. But after all, the 'youngster" was meant to to his practical experience in politics, and his opponents can qualify for that classification as well. Seybold, who holds a master's degree in political science, comments he's "in to win."

COUNCIL GIVEN SURVEYREPORT Engineers Say Municipal Light Plant Would Cost at Least a Million. (Uy Staff Correspondent I ASH LAND The report of a municipal light plant survey for the city of Ashland prepared by Rarstow LeFelier, Akron engineers, a presented to Mayor W. Art Mason and Ashland councilmen at their regular meeting Tuesday night. A report of Ihe survey lias lieeu left with the city for further study. The survey, a lengthy one, makes an estimate of $1,020,859 for a steam driven plant to provide for 100 per cent of Ashland's light and power needs and 1 155 for a Diesel plant to serve 50 per cent of the city's needs.

Council heard the report of the survey Tuesday night by R. R. Jones and Allan II. Heiden-reicli, who made the survey for the Akron firm, but took no action nor made any expression. An ordinance was presented by a group of Ashland merchants providing for the licensing of the distribution of handbills and printed advertisements in the city of Ashland.

Such a permit, according to the ordinance presented, provides for a permit fee of from $5 to $lou and valid for only one such distribution. Each business firm, party, person or corporation advertising in any such hand bill must each pay the permit fee. The ordinance does not apply to any compound or article manufactured within the city and provides for a fine of $100 maximum for the first offense and $200 maximum for the second offense. The ordinance has been referred to council for investigation. The police judge's report, of for fines collected during the month of February was accepted.

Temperatures CONTINUED AS STEPS IN Gotham Labor Leader Says City-wide Tie-up Ready; Mediator on Job. MAY VOKK (Ay. threat of a nation-wide strike of building service employes was added today to Indications by strike leaders that the walk out of building workers in New York might be extending to other labor fields. NEW YORK i.4i On the heels of a clash between police a a unofficially estimated crowd of 5.000 strike sympathizers, a federal government official intervened today in an effort to halt tlje walkout which has seriously crippled service in hundreds of New York's office and apartment buildings. At almost the same time labor leaders were threatening to turn the already-widespread walkout into a city-wide strike.

The clash between tho strike sympathizers and police broke out on fashionable I'ark avenue shortly after a mass meeting of strikers heard James J. llambrick, local president of the International Building Service Employes' Union, shout; "If they don't, come across by Wednesday, we're going to giv the order to tear down tlfe entire tow ii." I'laii General Walk-Out. lie was referring to owners of the buildings who have refused to accede to ihe strikers' demands. "Your preHideni is ready to call a geiierul strike that will puralyzo New York," llauilirick said. Shortly afterward, most of those at the meeting formed three huge processions and swung down I'ark avenue, one of the world best-known residential streets.

Frightened tenants and building superintendents appealed to police for protection and radio patrols and siiuadmeu were rushed to threatened areas. A police barricade was thrown across the avenue in front of the building where Cmv. Herbert 11. Lehman lias his part-time residence. A strong concentration ot patrolmen massed behind the barricade.

As the crowd marched down the avenue, hurtling stones through windows and smashing doors skyscraper apartment buildings, poiice patrols assailed them from the flanks and succeeded in shunting small units into side streets. When the marchers reached the barricade at Tfith street, repeated police charges broke up the demonstrators and drove them westward to Central park.

Speaker J. Freer Fiittinger, Ashland, enters the political arena in what seems to be a move on the part of Davey organization to gain a little power in the senate. The claim of lack of co-operation of the senate with the administration is an old talc, as old as the Davey rule. The senate has been bitterly flayed by the governor and his supporters almost constantly, and while the Republican contingent in the senate bears the brunt of these verbal attacks, the presiding officer of tho senate, Lieut, (iov. Harold osier, a Democrat, has come in for his share.

About the shoulders of senate leaders is draped much of the constant attacks for "ignoring responsibilities." LASHING. As a Davey advocate, Bittinger has been called on to do a bit of tongue-lashing on numerous occasions. He has lashed with considerable venom, too. He reached a new peak in this business several days ago in a letter to senate leaders, on the subject of the senate's adjournment until March 2G while the milk bill, social security measures and the fair trade act are gathering dust, after favorable house action. The letter demanded that the senate "complete your task." so the house would not be forced to "hear a share of the guilt that attaches to public servants dodging their responsibilities." Bittinger referred to tho senate's "dilatory and called attention to the claim that the house "has never run out on its sworn duty." And that little masterpiece of "dressing-down" was well-timed before his announcement of candidacy for lieutenant governor, whose chief duty is to preside over the senate.

SUCKERS. Mansfield business men are "suckers" for promotional With Illness still confining Council Clerk William J. Itcer, to his home, city Auditor Paul L. Kclley assumed the clerk's job at last night's council meeting. The.

auditor had lew communications to read, but at previous meetings Kclley took a ride from council for reading too fast and indistinctly, and a couple ot tne members caught him up on pronunciations. At iiny rate, Kellry will bo glad to hand It recovers. back to Heer when he Charles (Printer) Nichols Is not Kecking any records, hut he could probably claim one If he should have the desire. For years, he lias not missed a high school athletic event of any importance, and he remains Mansfield's most enthusiastic fun this year. Mr, Nichols has attended all of the high school games, the county tournament, and a number of city league games.

And there is little chance that he Mill miss any of the track meets on the high school team's schedule. A collection of the funny nnd exciting characters which Alice encountered in Wonderland is on display in miniature at the Public library The tiny likenesses of the Queen of Hearts, the Jabberwock, the March Hare, tho Cheshire cat and many of the other characters from Lewis Carroll's childhood classic, were made from wood and painted. The collection is owned by Mr. and Mrs, Robert Black, Blymyer avenue, who purchased it in England several years ago on the occasion of the Carroll centennial. Memories of mime 15 years ago were rerired in the minds of in a Mansfichlcrs yesterday, when workmen, repairing the street around Central park, were seen diijeiiny up railroad tics that were used hu the old South-western Intcruitian eompany, ir their tracks extended around the park.

The number of auto license plates sold the first two days this year exceeded last year for the same period by 150, according to Frank Beverstock, deputy registrar. The sale opened Monday and during the first two days 310 plates were sold, exclusive of those to Auto club members, whose plates are reserved for them. The line at the Auto club office had thinned out considerably today, however.

Beverstock said that in view of the fact that, there will be between 1,500 and 2,000 more plates issued tli is month than there was for the opening month of 1935, it would be impossible to handle the applicants within the prescribed time limit if more applications are not filed during the first week. Owners of more than one car, especially those who have fleets of trucks, can save considerable time by bringing their bills of sale to the registrar's office with them. If the owner is not prepared to pay for his license plates at the time, he may fill out his applica tions now, and then present copies when he is ready to pay for them, Beverstock said.

WASHINGTON VP) Powerful Democrats hinted today that empress may make drastic changes In President Roosevelt's tax program, under which the government would dip into corporation profits and stockholders' dividends to pay a $G20. 000,000 annual bill for farm subsidies and the soldiers' bonus. Congress swiftly divided Into bitterly warring camps over the executive's call for this sweeping revision of the corporate tax Ft ructure.

Xew Dealers hailed it as a in wins to speed money turnover, tion of wealth" the velocity of force "dlstribu-and hasten re covery. Administration leaders emphasized that, the plan was only a "suggestion" to congress.

As a bouse ways and means sub-committee gathered to discuss the proposal behind locked doors, there was much talk in congressional corridors of revisions in the program. Congress was still somewhat stunned over the breadth of the proposal. The president suggested that present corporate income taxes nnd other related levies be wiped out. Iu their stead lie would slap drastic tax on profits which corporations hold In their treasuries as surplus instead of distributing as dividends. Helps Stockholders.

Administration advisers Indicated this graduated tax might average per cent. This, it la held, would tend to drive such funds Into the bunds of stockholders as dividends. (Stocks jumped $1 to $5 a share in New York-yesterday os traders heard the president's message). Once In the hands of slockhold-ers, the money would be subject to the normal income tax rate of 4 per rent nnd the graduated surtax.

In threateninK to resort to law to collect fees on indigent cases, the physicians referred to a state law which provides a physician must he paid by a city or sub-division for services in such cases if the bill is presented within three days after he has attended the cases. City Solicitor Herbert 11.

Schettler explained. The blil might be presented in full, rather than on the basis of treatment iu an Indigent case, and the city would ho forced to pay it, Schetller staled. Payment of doctors at the requested rate of $2 per day on each case would cost the city an additional $5,000 or $6,000 a year for hospitalization, when it hasn't yet determined how to meet bills for hospital expenses alone, at the rate of $4.25 per day, councilmen explained. Th is estimate was based on last year's hospitalization costs which amounted to $11,550 for rooms and nursing services. The communication by staff doctors was Dr.
