More Leads Blow Up Jn Kidnaping Case I - .. •.' ... • Michigan City Case Still Stumps Police A Michigan City, Ind., Oct. 19 — (UP) —Two more leads blew up today in the case of little Lawrence Lyons, who was kidnaped from his hospital nursery ? fcrib last Saturday. A letter from Sioux City.laJ prompted police to discard a theory that a Sioux Indian and his wife who left for a tribal ceremony in South Dakota may know something about the theft of the (four-day-old infant from St. Anthony’s hospital. The letter was postmarked Oct. 13, which meant the couple left town at least a day before the (kidnaping. The Other lead fell flat at Chicago, where police detained for questioning a young woman seen carrying a small infant into the Stevens hotel. Cecile Conroy told officers she picked up the baby at St. Margaret’s hospital in Hammond to take it to an Indianapolis .Catholic chancery. The • hospital verified her story and she was

Slate Hospital Head Threatens To Quit Bahr Threatens To Resign Under Fire .V ! . Indianapolis, Oct. 19 — (UP) — Resignation of Dr. Max -A. Bahr as superintendent of the Central State Mental hospital 'was threatened today tn the face of criticism by members of the Indiana legislature. Sen. Dorothy Gardner, R., Fort Wayne, head of a legislative investigating committee which toured the institution Wednesday, reported- an extreme shortage of graduate nurses and diet deficiencies. Bahr threatened to quit when he learned Mrs. Gardner planned to release the committee’* findings. Mrs. Gardner said the hospital had only one graduate for 1,200 patients, whereas one nurse for from 10 to 16patients was the ’•wleaF’ ratio. She said the hospital planned to carry out recommendations of legislative for improvements \ but has done nothing in the way of forming a nurses’ training program. 1 “It is perfectly obvious theke can be no Adequate insulin shock treatment,” she said. “The treatment requires 24 hours observation, and thus they can give only one treatment each day. Certainly more than one patient needs \ She reported the hospital’s budget [does not permit serving adequate quantities of such foods as lettuce, which has led to a “preponderance of starches’; in the patients’ diets. She said it was rare when meat was served once a day. Sen. Harold Handley, R. LaPorte, who Joined the investigation, said reports indicated some former hospital attendants were “a bunch of bums/’ He also criticized the institution’s “haphazard” system of releasing patients. Sidney Smock, the hospital’s chief clerk, blamed low wages for the difficulty of retaining competent attendants. He said he dismissed 11 in one day for drinking. ■' ■’S *■ .

THE „„„„ H HjL Sunday School L—on» T *■’» DE l Psalm »7i7-U. ' Seeing God's Hand Lesson for October 11, 1951 2__, _ MrOBODY is ever, in all his life,, actually as wise es he thinks he is when he is about 17 years old. We have a remarkable case of thli in the Bible, the : story of a man whose viewpoint, between h1 s 17th and s«th birthdays, 1 completely changed. It is the story of M AEy Joseph. “, - . < At the age of 17. W' ' ' 4'M Joseph was about as nearly insuffer- UK m .liable as any one Fmanwu ever has a chance to be. He was the oldest son of the favorite wife of a wealthy cattle* owner named Jacob. Old Jacob needed all the hands he could use, to look after his sheep and cattle; and he put all twelve of his sons to work. Eleven of them had real work; Joseph, though next to the youngest of them all, was a kind of boss or overseer. At least that is what hi* father intended. ■e dressed the bey net tn \ working clothes Hko the others but tu fancy clothes, and need to send hhn around to see what . the ether beys were up to. Nat»> raHy Joseph’s brothers Ad not take to an this; in fact they hated him *o bard that they were on the point of murdering him. . On the very day of the proposed murder, however, the brothers discovered a chance to sell him a* ■ slave. So Joseph was sold off to some traveling slave-traders, and for all his brothers knew or cared, he was off to a lingering.ideath. • * * Where Was the Hand of God? JOSEPH expressed no opinion about this at the time. (He was probably gagged.) But judging from hi* general character and behavior at that time of his life, it is no trouble to guess hi* thoughts. Ho was “fit to be tied”; indeed, he must been tied on a camel’s baek, for no slave-trader in his senses would make Joseph walk the 20Q.miles to Egypt The better Ms condition on arrival, the higher the price. (As it turned | out, * very wealthy man bought him; perhaps only a wealthy man could afford him.) If you had asked Joseph while be was being hauled down to Egypt and the slave-market Where is-God in all this? Joseph might well have answered: “Nowhere. The devil is in this, or my devilish’ brothers. Nobody means Sny good by it. The only reason they are sell*, ing me instead of killing me is that •they are making a little by it; these slave-traders are certainly not ’in business for their health. I am the ‘only son my father trusted, and now I shall die a wretched death in a strange land.’’ • • • The Wisdom of the Years THAT was Joseph at seventeen. At the age of 56 he saw a different picture. Many strange years had passed; Joseph had been slave and then prisoner; then by a dramatic turn in his fortunes be has risen overnight to be the top food administrator, price controller and economic stabilizer, all in one, for the great empire of Egypt. His brothers, driven-by famine, had fled to Egypt for help, and Joseph, after playing cat-and-mouse with them for month*, at last told them (to their greet terror) who he, was. But he had relumed good for evil; had invited down hi* whole family, father, brothers and ail, and given them refuge in a corner of Egypt. At last Jacob died. The brothers, who made ths mistake of thinking Joseph no better than themselves, had supposed that all Joseph was waitIng for was bls father’s death. Now would be the time for Joseph’s long-delayed vengeance. Possibly Joseph the boyhad dreamed of just such an hour; But Joseph the man was > wiser. To his brothers, cowering before Mm, ha said a memorable thing: “Th meant it for evil, but God meant H for good.” . (Gen. 50:20.) He still had no illusions about his brothers. They had been a; bad lot. But God “me ! ant ft for good.” That wicked -act, selling him into slavery, had been the unintentional mean! of saving hundreds of lives. Josoph. now, with the , wisdom of his 56 years, can see the hand •of God which his 17-year-old eyes could not see at all. . So in times of distress the thought should come to each of us: God’s hand msy just now be out of sight, biit soma day, looktpg back even on this distress we too shall see the hand of God.
