In the state reformatory. Despite the fact that u reduction in weekly allowances results in spreading benefits over a longer period of time, some persons will take a chance and not report the amount of their earnings In a week which is supposed to be deducted from that week's check, Jacksou said. As a result, the department catches up with them and they lose those benefits entirely. Until last Friday, Jackson reported, about 190,000 persons had received benefits. These persons have had 1,565,603 checks amounting in all to $17,309,000, The average number of workers drawing benefits in the Indianapolis district was dropped to 3.9 ■ percent of the workers covered, Jackson said. This is a drop of 17 percent from last fall, LEADERS PLAN — (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) self-respecting way." Sen. William E. Borah. R., Ida , also has opposed the cut on the grounds that economy should be effected otherwise than by cutting ' federal expenditures on those . "now living like beasts." It was after Borah's statement that the appropriations sub-com-I mittee amended the house-approv-ed bill so that the relief rolls could not be cut more than five per cent during February and March. The compromise amendment, designed to placate senate critics ! of the smaller appropriation and possibly ease White House pressure, would authorize t/ie president to request additional appropriations later, if he deems an emergency has arisen. o * . < TODAY'S COMMON ERROR Do not say.

Linn Grove Florence Marie Bieriy Mary Schlagenhauf o TEN ARE SAVED (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) morning, the big Standard Oil tanker fought gale winds which whipped the sea into heaving, shimmering mountains, adding to the discomfort of the weakened survivors and slowing their arrival here where hospital beds and expert medical attention awaited them. Awaiting two ot the women was something in addition to comforts and care. They will receive the news that they are. beyond possibility of reversal or hope, widows. Mrs. Donald Miller, of Lincoln. Neb., and Mrs. J. Gordon Noakes, of New York City, watched their husbands drift away out there on the ocean, and all of the survivors but them believed they were definitely dead. When they were taken aboard the Esso Baytown Saturday night, they were assured that three coast guard boats would continue the search for them. The boats searched all day yesterday and last night, returned to land, officially abandoning any hope that Miller. Noakes, and Robert Spence, rhe Cavalier’s steward, weer alive. Awaiting four of the men were the searching questions of officials of the Imperial Airways, which, in conjunction with Pan-American Airways, operates the air line to Bermuda, and of American aviation authorities. These men were Captain M. R. Alderson, the Cavalier's master. Neil Richardson, her first officer, Patrick Chapman, her radio officer, and DavidzWilliams, her other steward. The officials wanted to know what happened aboard the huge fourmotored flying boat that caused her to plunge into the sea, split open, and sink so quickly her passengers and crew barely managed to get out of the hulk into the sea. This much was known. All the ship's motors failed at the same time and iee whs the cause. At 11:59 a. m. CST Saturday, her radio flashed: "All engines failing —ice. Altitude 1,500 feet. Forced landing in a few minutes.” Thirteen minutes later she said: “Landing akey, switch off —'Stanl by.” One minute later the radio flashed one word and went dead. The word was “sinking" Aviation experts ashore believe that ice had formed on the wing and around the motors and had choked the carburetors on all four motors. The Cavalier was not equipped with devices 1o prevent such an occurrence, which are standard equipment on most American commercial planes. o— LITTLE ACTION (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) which lias been collected from truckers during the last two years. This law has been attacked in the courts almost since the day of its enactment And Gov. M. CJifford Townsend urged its repeal in his biennial message to the legislature. The senate will begin work on several important subjects by holding public hearings. Tonight a hearing will be held on a bill wUlch would restore the direct primary for nominating candidates for governor and the United States senator. Other bills already introduced would nominate all state candidates by direct primary. Another public hearing will be held in the senate chambers Wednesday evening on a bill to Increase workmen's compensation benefits to injured laborers. Claiming that tlic bills would double their insurance rates, business ami industrial leaders are expected io oppose the bill vigorously. Trade in a Good Town — Decatur

SPANISH INSURGENTS — i (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) mending the cruiser Omaha, announced at Vlllefranchc today that \ he has standing orders to suil to Caldetas. 20 miles north of Barcelona. to embark 30 Americans "whenever (lie Americans request ' it." Admiral Lackey said that no orders to sail had been received late this afternoon but that preparations were complete to embark whenever a call is received from Barcelona. Part of the American crew was aliscnt but, he said, the Omaha could sail within two hours. - • o EXPECT BETTER (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) activity in 1938 was considerably 1 under that of 1937, the year as a , whole may be considered as one ' which brought a net improvement [ This is true principally because the trend of business during the latter part of the year was definitely upward. "In light of prevailing conditions, business is expected to reach higher ground." A "maze of bewildering and 1 complex domestic and foreign 1 problems" which are unsolved, 1 however, should "serve to dampen ‘ a too certain expectation for the future,” the article concluded. GUEST PASTORS 1 (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) Charles M. Prugh. The purpose of the exchange is to foster the spirit of Christian fellowship and good will between the : several churches of the city and to tvidence a united front on the part of the churcnes tn their re spouse to the challenge to make Christ known to men. ■ 0 McNutt For President Club Is Organized Indianapolis.
