Wilhelm Kunze, national publicity director of the Germ an-American Bund, is the only person who make any detailed statement concerning plans for a Bund meeting to be held here Monday night, according to Charles W. Soltau, 339 North Summit street, at whose home the meeting is to be held.

Asked whether he knew when Kunze, who is the principal speaker, would arrive in Indianapolis, Soltau said, "We are not at liberty to say in fact, we do not know." ttp declined to name other resi dents of the city who have been 4 Rhodes, of Peru, stat? commander of the American Legion, voiced opposition to the use of force in breaking up the meeting, urging instead a campaign of education to combat un-American activities. "True Americanism means acceptance and adherence to all the principles and institutions of our American form of government and we must not resort to force to suppress persons or groups whose opinions differ from our own," Rhodes asserted. "Such would be the very essence of un-Americanlsm. "The Constitution of the United States guarantees freedom of religion, speech and of the press, and of the right of the people to assemble peaceably. Without these wise provisions, we would have no democratic government.

It is the sworn obligation of every member of the American Legion to uphold and defend these principles as faithfully, as courageously and as impartially as every other article of the Constitution. We must not deny the right of free speech and peaceable assembly to any person or any group; not even to those whose theories we despise." active in making arrangements ior the meeting. "Mr. Kunze is the only person who can make any statement concerning the meeting. The newspapers know more about it than we do," he said.

A copy of the invitations to the Bund meeting, which have been circulated widely among persons of descent, is shown here. In The state of Indiana today surrendered its rate-making authority to the Indianapolis Water Company by agreeing in federal court to a ttlpulation which leaves the citl-tens of Indianapolis paying a per capita water service charge $1.09 higher than the state average for privately owned plants and $3.67 higher than the average for municipally owned Class A plants. The surrender was in the form tf a stipulation entered into by Omer Stokes Jackson, attorney-general; Urban C. Stover, his assistant; Ralph E. Hanna, public counsellor and the attorneys for the Indianapolis Water Company.

Under its terms the famous water case which has been pending since 1932 will lis dormant in federal court, to be advanced only when one or the other of the parties gives thirty days notice to the other or Judge Robert C. Ealtzell decides that there has been "unreasonable delay." The stipulation, which had been secretly negotiated by Joseph E. Daniel, attorney for the company, was an indefinite truce in trie proceedings, but in granting his approval to it. Judge Baltzell reserved the right to call up the case when he regarded further delay as "unreasonable." As a result of this stipulation, the rates established by the public service commission December 30, 1932, which were opposed by the city of Indianapolis as being then unreasonably high, will continue in effect, providing the water company with the same net income that enabled it recently to refinance its securities at lower rates of interest than they were orginally Issued. New Hearing Opposed.

The secretly negotiated "treaty" beween the water company and the state was made after the state had announced possession of new evidence which tended to show that the company's inventory of property, including the canal property, was subject to attack in the new hearing which had been ordered by thf circuit court of appeals and approved by the United States supreme court. small type at the top it bears the phrase, "For American nationalism against Communist international outlawry."

CHAUTEMPS QUITS ACCUSED WILLKIE PLEBISCITE SPURS RIOTING IN VIENNA Nazis and Schuschnigg Men Clash Over Public Vote on Austrian Policy HITLER SHOWDOWN COMING Independence Is Big Capital Patrolled by Police and Troops VIENNA. March 10 Ai.) Mounting tension tonight resulted in street fights here and at Gra in which forty men were Injured and many arrested or detained as Nazis and the Fatherland Front campaigned for the Sunday plebiscite on Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg's policy of independence for Austria. Hundreds paraded the Vienna downtown section, their cries of "Hail SchuschnlggP or Heil Hitler!" rising high above the usual roar of traffic.

The entire police force was called out on an emergency basis that will continue through Sunday. The two main army garrisons at Vienna, are being held in readiness with motors of troop lorries constantly running. The old sedate, friendly, easygoing Vienna has become a tense, worried, shouting, demonstrating city, whose population is gripped by a tension almost unknown her since the world war. The issue is whether the inflence of Schuschnigg or of Chancellor Adolf Hitler, of Germany, shall predominate in Austria. The police for the most part confined their efforts to keeping the two factions apart and curbing too-demonstrative "Heil Hitler! cries.

Trucks cruised about the city carrying loud speakers blaring plebiscite slogans like "With Schuschnigg for a free German Austria," or "Are you for Austrian Independence? Yes or no? Yes! Yes! Yesl Schuschnigg dramatically announced the national vote to test his strength in his fight for Austrian Independence in a speech to a labor audience at Innsbruck yesterday. "I desire and must know," he said, "whether the Austrian people want this free German (speaking), independent, social, Christian, unified, partyless Austria." Polish-Italian Talks End. ROME.

Berlin Belittles Austrian Vote. BERLIN, March 10 important Nazi leaders tonight characterized Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg's call for an Austrian plebiscite as an "impudent" attempt at an anti-Nazi coup d'etat. A source close to the government said the Austrian vote will be plebiscite "without ballots where everybody can cast as many votes as they have identification papers or friends in the Fatherland Front." "It is all the more a Joke because the plebiscite will be Nazis said. Such comment, although unoffi Henry Morgenthau secretary of the treasury, announced today the treasury is preparing alternate revenue-raising proposals to fill the $41,000,000 gap in the new tax bill left by defeat in the house of a special tax on closely-held corporations. "If and when Mr.

Doughton (Robert L. Doughton, house ways and means committee chairman) calls on us, well have a number of optional ways of raising additional revenue to present," the secretary said. A frantic search for new revenue occupied administration leaders in congress today, because they hold little hope of persuading the house to restore to the tax bill a deleted levy on closely-held corporations. They decided to call for another vote on the proposal, despite their general pessimism that it merely would reaffirm the 180-to-124 margin by which the tax was blue-penciled yesterday. Democratic members of the house ways and means committee decided not to recommend substitute levies to offset the estimated $30,000,000 to $45,000,000 revenue loss.

They declared that since the entire house had discarded the so-called "IB" tax, it should assume the responsibility for raising more funds or should turn the task over to the senate. Representative A. Willis Robertson Va.V proposed raising the federal liquor tax from $2 to $2,25 a gallon. He said the increase would produce $35,000,000. Representative J.

Harold Flan-nery (Dem Pa.) suggested a 1-cent-a-gallon tax on fuel oil. The yield was estimated as high as $175,000,000. Coalition Successful. all the ninety Republicans and as many Democrats teamed up to eliminate the "1-B" tax and give the administration its first major defeat in the current session. The delegation voted 8 to 2 for the McCormack amendment to eliminate the administration proposal.

James I. Farley and Glenn Griswold were not recorded. Eugene B. Crowe and Arthur H. Greenwood, constant administration supporters, were the two Indiana members who refused to join in the revolt.

The eight Indianians, seven Democrats and one Republican, who voted rthe McCormack amendment were Representatives Ludlow, Pettengill, Halleck, Gray, Schulte, Jenckes, Larrabee and Boehne. Senate leaders said the removal will prevent much controversy over the tax biU when it reaches that chamber. The "1-B" levy was the most controversial in the bill. It was designed to impose on large closely-held or family-owned corporations a 20 per cent, surtax on income remaining after the payment of other STAT HUE PRESIDENT OFFERS U. S.

Leon Blum, Socialist ex-premier, late today accepted President Albert Lebrun's mandate to attempt formation of a new cabinet, replacing the resigned government of Camille Chautemps. PARIS, March 10 (U.P.) Pre-mier Camille Chautemps and his cabinet resigned today, after seven weeks and two days in office, because their followers in the Popular Front coalition had rejected their demand for extraordinary financial powers to safeguard the treasury.

With his written resignation in his pocket, Chautemps faced the chamber of deputies and announced that Socialists and Communists of the Popular Front coalition refused to support him. He said that unless they changed their minds, he would resign. Socialists and Communists remained unmoved. With a gesture of disgust, Chautemps left the tribune, waved to his cabinet ministers to follow him and at an informal meeting in a chamber anteroom the cabinet made its final decision. Members went at once to the Elysee palace where President Albert Lebrun was wait'ng, and there Chautemps handed the president the resignation.

President Roosevelt presented to congress today a national resources committee report which he described as a ''comprehensive national plan for the conservation and development of our water resources." 'I recommend careful study of these documents by the congress, he said, ''because they present a frame of reference for legislative programs affecting water conservation and because they illustrate an approach to the systematic husbandry of our natural resources on a democratic, regional basis." The President told congress the report was in accordance with his message of August 13, 1937. when he vetoed a senate resolution authorizing the drafting by army engineers of a broad flood control plan. In that veto he said the "local and regional basis" of planning was ignored. Total outlays of $2,111,091,000 on federal and nonfederal projects are recommended by the committee. The report recommends use of $891,091,000 on primarily federal projects and $1,220,000,000 on nonfederal developments in which local communities would share in the cost.

Mr, Roosevelt said the proposals recommended by the resources committee were based on findings of forty-five joint state-federal basin committees, composed of more than 500 local, state and federal officials. "The proposals in the report," he said, "provide a guide for authorizations of surveys and construction of irrigation, flood control, navigation, rural water supply, wild life conservation, beach erosion control, hydro-electric power and other water projects.

In approving the stipulation. Judge Baltzell expressly provided that briefs ordered on this question should be filed, but he indicated a willingness to allow more time for their preparation. Daniels, following the court procedure, said the company would thus be placed in a position to proceed with a new construction program involving the ultimate expenditure of $1300,000, which sum could then be added to the already huge valuation claimed by the company. Hanna, in a statement following the hearing, congratulated the ratepayers of Indianapolis on the arrangement by which he said they would "avoid paying more" lor water. As a result of the secret negotiations by which the state agrees to abandon, at least temporarily, the long drawn out light to gain for Indianapolis water rates tompar-able with those of other cities, the company avoids: first, revaluation of its physical property during a period of price recessions.

The 1937 legislature authored appointment of a commission to study the possibility of the state taking over the insurance of workmen's compensation. If the commission decides it is advisable, it is to prepare and present a bill to tha 1939 legislature. A bulletin has been sent out by the Indiana State Chamber of Commerce asking the membership's reaction to the proposal, and urging representation at the public Charles Bedwell, Sullivan, state senator and chairman of the commission, announces that It is the desire of the commission members to hear all persons who wish to be heard in the matter and to that end arrangements will be made for the use of the senate or house chamber.

Otherwise he said PWA money will go forward as arranged. Ickes said in the letter that Willkie had failed to defeat TVA developments and now is asking the government to act in bad faith with the cities. "Having failed completely to prove his case in the courts, Mr. Willkie now. in asks us to 'conspire' with him and to refuse to carry out our obligations to the cities in order that he may negotiate with TVA.

"Mr. Willkie has had five years in which to negotiate but he chose to exhaust every legal technicality in his effort to thwart the government's policy. Now that he has been beaten at every hand, he asks the government to act in bad faith with the cities." The Ickes announcement came shnrtlv after Senator Georee W. CLOSE WATCH ON U. S.

He has served more than tw-elve years in prison. Through his attorney.

Mayor Alba M. Smith, of La port Stephenson filed a petition for a writ of error, coram nobis, in Hamilton county circuit court before Judge C. M. Gentry, alleging his trial here on a charge of murdering an Indianapolis young woman w-as "unfair, prejudiced and biased." The writ of error, coram nobis, would reopen the case. Approval of any such writ has the effect of granting a new trial.

The principal point in today's petition was inclusion of a sworn affidavit by Ira M. Holmes, Indianapolis, one of Stephenson's attorneys at the trial, in which Holmes says he advised Stephenson not to testify at the trial because of threats made against Stephenson's life. "In my opinion if Stephenson had attempted to testify the hostile demonstration and threats would have become action and the defendant would have been killed in the ensuing violence," Holmes said. Holmes also claimed the demonstration damaged the cause of the defendant considerably. In his petition Stephenson blamed leaders of the Klan.
