Chicago. | Charter Member of The Indiana League of Homs Dallies. The Republican press says the rumpus now going on in the ranks of the state committee is a house ; cleaning. According to reports it’s ■ a regular breaking-up of house-i keeping. Reports are that the demand for ■ tickets to the Speedway classic to be run at Indianapolis next Monday is the best in history and be-! sides the breaking of other records ] they anticipate one at the gate. Gale Lower, Fort Wayne auto- ' mobile race driver plunged to his death Sunday, thrilling a crowd of- - thousand but spoiling the day I for those who wanted excitement not quite so real. It’s a dangerous sport. Now those fortunate and wise. enough to have secured and saved one of the famous Rockefeller' dimes, will find it growing in value. • The billionaire did not believe in l giving or spending recklessly and; his tips w'ere always the same, a j bright new ten-cent piece. The thirteen-year locust, of which we have heard all our lives but never seen, is due this year, according to the experts who claim these pests — cicadas—to be correct, are already sticking their heads out from the ground where j they have been hibernating since 1924. — t The traffic problem will not im- | prove noticeably until we have ! made some provisions, such as one : way streets, extra routes for the ' trucks or routed the highways away from the downtown section. Which is wisest and best? That's the question we must d r "ide the ■ next few weeks. It will only be a few weeks tin til we celebrate with the annual street fair and agricultural show. That's always a big week for those who love life, who wish to meet their friends and to know what is going on. It's time to get the I thing going and your cooperation ; is needed to put it over in a big way. A river boulevard, a wider Third. i Seventh or Tenth street, extended through the city. Which do you prefer, if any? Something will have to be done because traffic must be handled without too much loss of time and too much danger of collisions. The committee working on the problem would appre- ! ciate suggestions and opinions. President Roosevelt recently vetoed a bill providing a five mil- . lion dollar appropriation for par- i ticipatlon in the New York 1939 i world fair but that fact ditj’t get i much praise from the partisan press which is fighting him. The president is trying to use economy, now that the depression is over, and deserves the support? he is asking from congress and the people. Those New York probation experts who started their public ap-1

pearance In Indiana by criticising ' Governor Townsend and wound up , by charging the national adminis- ’ j t.ratfon with polities, seem to be playing a little of it themselves. | The old Hoosier state is getting: j along fairly well, stands first in j about every thing and has some leaders in probation work who could probably give the “wise guys from the east” some pointers, Worried about business? The j Cleveland Trust Company has issuled a bulletin which says: “The i auto industry is having a big year. Construction is improving. The j railroads are carrying more freight ( and making more money. Retail j i trade is improving, and as long as [ I these fundamentals go on in this! I way. no one need be afraid. I’rob-| ably the chief cause of our wor 1 | Ties,” remarks the Bulletin, “is that I most of us had forgotten that even i I during recoveries there are no such | | things as continuously rising mar- j ' kets.” s Commencement season is at • hand again and over the land 1 ■ thousands of boys and girls will i i step out from high school and col- j i lege into the world, absolutely con- i fident they have the thought and i ! ability to correct the ills of the [ world. And that's what saves us. I It's the ambition and confidence i of the young people who with I forty or fifty years of anticipated i service ahead, feel sure of sue- j cess. They have the faith and while they may not accomplish all ' they have in mind, they can go a long ways if they watch their i steps. It's a great old game and a lot of fun for those who play it clean. i

John D. Rockefeller, first billion-1 aire the world eVer produced, for i years known as the richest man in I any country, whose only remaining J ' ambition was to reach the age of, | one hundred, died Sunday at his winter home near Oromond Beach, ; | Florida. He failed to attain the j ' century mark but came within two , years and a few weeks of it. His I career excelled any thing you ever ! read in any dime novel. He began with a $4.50 a week job, for ; six or eight years, seemed a very , ordinary young man, then decided | ' to go into business for himself. ' He did and soon acquired a desire and much ability to control that business which happened to be the j oil refining industry, then quite ( new. He scaled the heights, made millions and built up a wonderful institution. Then for many years became the world's greatest philanthropist, giving away hundreds of i millions of dollars. His theory was that every man should get all | he could of this world's goods and then give away all he could. He was great in his business ability, owned railroads, steamship lines, vast real estate holdings and of course was outstanding in the oil world. Not his work as much as the distribution of his wealth to educational and religious institutions, a philanthropy still being carried on by John D. Jr., will live through the decades to come. o—

WPAWORKERS DEMAND BOOST Ninth District Workers Demand Increase In Wages Rrazlil, Ind..

Packard, assistant director of the federla resettlement administration, said the resettlement program was an attack on poverty and an effort to Increase the buying power of at least onethird of the nation's farm families.' “In the past,” he said, “subsidies I have been granted to highly organ-' ized producer groups. In the future subsidies and grants may be more helpful if they are given! to unorganized and inarticulate! . groups whose buying power at] present does not permit them to! purchase goods which subsidized | i industries are able to produce.

wide housing and sulm eradication program to meet it. Wagner, author of the national labor relations act, and close friend of President Roosevelt, indicated what the new deal’s legislative alma are when he said: “In the federal social security act Is embodied the most concen traied effort made by any nation to alleviate the hazards of modern industrial life. Upon that founds tion we have just commenced to build. We must extend the act to those uncovered by its provisions." "We must develop a higher standard of comfort for the old. a wider margin of protection for the unemployed. a more far-reaching system of aid to the cripples and destitute. Vocational rehabilitation, a more pressing need now than even before, must be pushed forward. Methods must be devised for removing the risks which the wage-earner faces through ill health.”
