ENFORCEMENT OF LAW URGED Highway Carriers Urge Enforcement Os Highway Laws Indianapolis, Jan- 13 —Better enforcement of the highway laws In Indiana is urged in resolutions of the Indiana Regulated Highway Carriers, Inc., made public here today by O. N. Heeler, president. Commendation of the "increased attention given to traffic problems" by the outgoing Indiana administration is voiced, together with a vigorous wish that effective efforts may be continued "towards safer driving, reduction of the death toll from auto accidents and Improved highway safety engineering practices," Support was voted to recommendations made by the governor’s committee on public safety and the competent authorities were called on for favorable action on them. “We wish particularly,” the resolution reads, “to urge increase in the personnel of Indiana state police along the lines proposed: more attention by prosecuting attorneys to the enformement of traffic laws; authorization to the state highway commissio nto fiv safe speeds at places of special danger; establishment of a division of traffic engineering in the state highway commission and restriction of the colors red and green to state use along highways." Copies of the resolution were sent to the governor, the director of the state department of public safety, the chairman of the public service commission and the chairman of the state highway commission- — —o LOWELL SMITH (.CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) 1935 figures, “was 231 million dollars while only the smallest amount absolutely necessary was given to I the education department." Quoting the charge that the entire munition setup of the U. S., i and other foreign countries was bei ing overrun by “racket" promoters, the speaker related an incident in which British soldiers sent to the French battalions were shot down by a gun that was later captured to be used as a mounment to the dead heroes. When the gun was returned to England it was found that underneath the gun was the trade mark of John Bull, himself. Evidently the gun had ben sold to the enemy by the munition "racketeers.” The speaker also cited an incident in 1928 of the same nature that occurred in the sale of a patented U. 8. gun, which had been put on our navy battleships. The speaker quoted that "the ship was taken to a foreign port, where salesman were engaged in selling the gun to a foreign power. There the gun was demonstrated and sold. I Now in the next war our soldiers may look forward to being shot down by a gun rnbde in their own I country." o JURY TRIAL IS | tCONTINUKD FROM PAGE ONE) the complaint. Attorneys Employed Immediately upon the filing of the injunction, attorneys were employed and on July 22, 1936, the injunction was dissolved. Sam Cleland, Fort Wayne attorney, alleged that he spent four days at the cost of SSO a day and was entitled to $3.25 for mileage from his summer cottage at Rome City to Fort Wayne. Charles Dailey, an Indianapolis attorney, is alleged to have spent two days on the case at a total cost of SIOO plus $10.50 for j mileage and expenses. The total damage is placed at SSOO. Only witness in the case was Sam Cleland, who testified to the time he spent on the case and the i estimated value of both his and Charles Dailey's services. The defense rested its case without calling a witness, thus preventing the plaintiff from introducing testimony in rebutal. "'fguments were begun at 1:30 o’clock this afternoon. Jury Selected Members of the regular panel of the jury who are serving in the case are: Vilas Steiner. French township; David Cook, Union town'ship; Charles Estel, Washington township; Mrs. O. F. Gilliom, Berne; Mrs. W. Guy Brown, Deca tur; Mrs. Sim Burk. Decatur; Roy E. Heller, Kirkland township; Gee R. Green, Geneva, and James Elberson, Decatur. Ernest Dro, one of the persons whose name was drawn for the regular panel, was deceased at the time. Walter Hilgeman, another member of the regular panel, is in Colorado. Ferd Mettler of Berne, was excused this morning. Talesmen selected to complete the jury are: George Flanders, Decatur; Ralph Shady, Kirkland , township, and William Krueckeberg. Arguments in the suit were cencluded at 2:30 o’clock and the case was presented to the jury after instructions from Judge DeVoss.

FAMOUS EXPLORER F A n -E. ONH> arc lights. He Buffered a fractured leg ajid possible Internal injuries. A. T. Loomis of Omaha, Neb, was reported in a serious, but not critical condition in a Glendale hospital. Physicians said he had a broken left arm and leg. R. T. Anderson of Atlantic City also was reported in a serious condition in the San Fernando hospital but he was conceded a chance of recovery. He was treated for a compound fracture of the right leg, which required major eurgery, and a possible fracture of the left knee cap. An examination also disclosed serious head Injuries. Martin Johnson was the perfect example of the twentieth century explorer. With motion picture camera and airplane, he invaded little known regions of Africa and Borneo with his pretty wife and brought back photographic proof of his discoveries ajid adventures , He spent little time in civilization —in fact, he complained only Monday that the jungles were safer than modern America. In Salt i-ake City, on Monday, Johnson sajd, "Why, 1 almost got killed by a taxi this morning. The jungles are really safe when you know how to get. along in them. America, probably Ixecause it is the most civilized place in the world, is the mont dangerous.” The Johnsons estimated recently that of the 26 years they had been married, they had spent only about five in civilization.

"If we lop off a penny of revenue let’s be sure to lop off an equal amount of spending." Townsend concluded with the ■ assertion that so much had been I done under the McNutt adminlsII rat ion that few new laws are necessary and only perfections of existing laws are desirable. “It is now time for the process of trimining off the corner,” Townsend said.
