CHILD HEALTH OAT ON MAT 1 I National Child Health Bay To Be Observed Next Sunday Indianapolis, Apr 25. — Support of the 3,000 physicians of the In-1 diaiia State Medical Association is i assured for the celebration of nat-1 ional child health day, which will be held on Sunday. May 1, with supplementary observances! I throughout the state on Saturday, | April 30. and Monday, May 2, according to a bulletin Issued today by the bureau of publicity of the , Indiana State Medical Association. , The state association and coun-1 ty medical societies throughout I the state will pay special attention ' to medical problems having to do i with child and maternal health in 1 1 theih meetings throughout the! mouth of May. The May issue of i the Journal of the Indiana State I Medical Association, which will appear May 1, will be devoted largely to the health of mothers and children while many meetings will be held both by the medical profession and other groups interested in child welfare to discuss the sub- ■ ject. “Speed children on the road to health,” is the slogan for this year's May Day celebration, the bulletin states. “The objective is for every community to make full use of its resources in order to insure to, children safe birth, normal growth, I and protection against disease and accident in their progress from infancy to maturity. "In Indiana twenty-five organizations and groups are cooperating in the May Day program this year which in most communities is being sponsored by the local county medical society in coopsration with the bureau of maternal and child health of the Indiana state board of health. “By focusing particular attention upon the health of children this I May Day it is hoped that lessons ! will be learned by the Indiana public which will help make Hoosier youngsters safe, healthy and! happy throughout the entire 365, days of the year." SEEK TO AVERT VOTED STRIKE Union President Seeks To Avert Scheduled Strike In Flint Detroit, April 25— (U.R) —While 16.000 Buick and Chevrolet plant workers awaited his command to strike, Homer Martin, president of. the United Automobile Workers ] union, today assured the companies that he would withhold the call “until every means of settling the grievances has been exhausted." More than 20,000 union members in Flint approved the strike last week. A word from Martin would create the most serious labor situation in the automobile industry since the sit-down strike in General Motors plants more than a year ago. With this ‘hreat pending, representative* of 10.000 automobile i dealers throughout the country I gathered here for a two-day con-! vention. to discuss means of sta-. bilizing the industry by reforming retail trade practices. Charles H March of the federal ■ trade commission will conduct a conference Tuesday, when an at-1 tempt will be made to establish a code for dealers. The code would prohibit such things as misrepresentation. defamation of competitors, misleading price quotations cided whether to run for a fourth term as governor or to devote all his efforts toward nationwide organization of the Progressive party. He indicated that the chief question was whether a new pary movement would not have more prestige if it was headed by a governor of Wisconsin. In his address, the senator said a “depression more fierce than any we have ever known" would result if the United States became involved in another war. He outlined a five-point peace program which included building for domestic security instead of armaments; withdrawal of Atnetican investments and armed forces form the Far East, even at the loss of foreign trade; invocation of the neutrality act in the Sino-Japan conflict; a foreign policy devoid of secret agreements and a war referendum act; and a bill which would take the profits out of war, instead of the pending war mobilization bill. “The United States is in no danger of war," he said, “if H ;ivoids_the_folly of joint action."
