MORE CRIPPLES ADE REPORTED Census Reveals 46 Crippled Children in Adams County Indianapolis, May 24 —The census of crippled children taken recently in Adams county shown an increase of 171 percent over known cases established in the county by the 1936 census taken through the schools. Most of this increase is explained by the fact that the new enumeration includes children under school age and between the ages of sixteen and twenty-one years, two groups excluded from the former census. The county census was sponsored by the County Superintendent of Schools with Clifton E. Striker, supervising the work of actual casefinding. Forty-six (46) crippled children were discovered this year as opposed to 17 known cases established by the previous count. It is estimated that in the entire state the known cases of crippling may go from 3,000 childrim reported in 1936 to about 7,000 discovered in the uew census. On the basis of returns from tho present enumeration, county welfare directors are already placing eligible crippled children for orthopedic services provided from federal funds administered by the division of services for crippled children of the state department of public welfare. Dr. Oliver W. Greer, head of the state division, has announce da series of 26 consultation clinics to be held this year in various sections of the state. These clinics are to be conducted by stateapproved medical specialists with the asistance of orthopedic nurses from the state welfare department. Children whose parents are financially unafble to provide the recommended treatment will be taken care of at public expense, with partial reimbursement made from federal funds, for this purpose. o — — GRADUATES OF (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) er.

He said it would provide for the PWA to help the city build a competing plant hi the event a municipality has made a “fair offer" to a private utility to buy its plant and has been refused.

Relief Costs Mount (Copyright 1938 by United Press) Washington, May 24 <U.R> -Preliminary estimates indicated today that six months of depression and increasing unemployment sent the cost of all public relief during April to approximately $250.01)0.600 - the highest in the history of the works progress administration Prospects for the immediate future indicate that the rise will continue unchecked until late summer. Principal factor in the sharp upward swing in costs since September, 1937, was the addition of more than 500,000 workers to WPA rolls during that period. WPA Administrator Harry L Hopkms has predicted a similar increase in the immediate future which may send

I the rolls to or over the 3,000,000 mark. April relief costs, ineluding those for WPA, the civilian con-! servation corps, the national youth ' administration, public assistance; administered by the social security board, farm security administration for rural rehabilitation, public! works administration and other i federal agencies, and direct relief! administered by state and local' I agencies, were second only to the I critical days of late 1933 and early I I 1934 when the civil works admin-I istratiou was mobilized hastily to I [help more than 27,500,000 persons j | dependent then upon public aid. i No accurate figures for this per-[ j iod are available, but the peak has' I been estimated at something under $400,000,000. The low point in public relief ex- 1 penditures since inauguration of the WPA program in 1935 occurred in September. 1937, when the ag-1 I gregate was only $168,790,000. The j previous high during the WPA was in March 1936 when the total was $237,129,000. o_____ 0 _____ Relief Burdens Milwaukee Milwaukee. — |iU.R; — More than one-half of every dollar Milwaukee ' county will spend during 1938 will go toward some sort of relief.

With two more week-end elections scheduled, the most that Europe hoped for was a period of armed truce which might swiftly be stirred again to the flames of war by either side. The trend toward calm was attributed generally to the decision of of Adolf Hitler, who quieted the I German protests Monday as quickI ly a« they had been stirred two two days before. But while the Nazi leader chose negotiations instead of military action in Europe, he took another course in the China war where he ordered all German military advisers to the Chinese government to return home. The German advisers —estimated at from 48 to 82 had been credited with a large ipart of responsibility for the strong Chinese defenses and counter-attacks on the North Central front, Japan linked to Germany and Italy by an anti-ccmmnn-[ist treaty, had contended that she was fighting to crush communism in China and that Hitler was obH-
