STATE MEDICAL BOARD AGAINST VOLUNTARY BODY Dr, Gott Says Movement for National Exams Duplicates State Plan. A statement of Dr. William T. Gott, Crawfordsville, secretary, State board of medical examiners, ex•plaining why Indiana does not recognize the National hoard of medical examination, was made public today. The National board, a voluntary organization supported by the Rockefeller Foundation, today announced its examinations will be cdnducted Thursday, Friday and Saturday in thirty-three cities, including Indianapolis. Twenty-eight States have accepted the National board's certificate. Any holder of the certificate of the board will be accepted by the board in these particular States. Character High, but— Dr. Gott said: “I am not unmindful of the high character, culture and standing of the distinguished physicians and surgeons composing the board, but the acceptanace by a ! legally constituted medical examining board of a certificate of qualification issued by any voluntary board having no legal authority to exist, or act in such capacity is, in my opinion, unwise, unwarranted, and unlawful and may, and probably will, lead to serious complications. “The board granting such certificates without the authorization of the law could not consistently enforce the law that it had itself disregarded. The voluntary medical examining board making the recommendation would have no responsibility in the premises and the State board would be made the ‘goat.’ ” Provision Already Made The evident purpose of the board is to obviate necessity of re-examina-tion whenever a physician wishes to practice in another State." “This condition,” Gott says, “has been remedied by in*eestate reciprocity in medical licensure which now obtains in almost all States, hence there is no necessity on this ground for the existence of a voluntary examining board.”

MEXICAN POLICE THROWN AROUND BRITISH LEGATION Threaten to Arrest Consular Agent Government Refuses to Remove, Rif United Press MEXICO CITY. June 16.-~-The British legation here today remained in a state of seizure, surrounded by police and secret service agents, the food supply low and telephone wires cut. Efforts were being made by Minister Bermudez of Chile to settle the difficult situation which has arisen as result of refusal of British foreign office to remove H. C. Cummins, its semi-official representative, at request of the Obregon government. Bermudez vviy ask Foreign Minister Saenz that Cummins be given flu ty-eight hours to leave the country “in a manner befittting his position.’’ The Obregon government, despite a note from Norman King, British consul general, demanding an explanation of rhe Cummins expulsion order, remains adamant. Minister \ Saenz declared the government was | affronted, and has asked King to understand there can be no reversal of its decision. Cummins' withdrawal is desired j because of a long series of actions I which Mexico regards as hostile to i the present regime. Officials say he has persistently forwarded erroneous land villifying accounts of conditions l in Mexico to his government and that he is responsible for delay in resumption of Britlsh-Mexican relaj tior.s. Cummins has been locked in the legation since June 10. but it was rot until Saturday that secret po- | ( .re began preparations to arrest 'm.

CHICAGO SLAYERS ODT-NEROED NERO, PASTORASSERTS Says Modern Education May Not Be Worthy of Confidence, By United Press CHICAGO. JJune 16. —Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb, millionaire youths, “out-Neroed Nero” in their cold-blooded murder of Robert Franks, 14-yea r -o'd school boy, the *Rev. Josiah Sib! ', pastor of the Second Presh\ ieri.tn Church, declared in l.is Sur, lay sermon. "Here in Chicago, under the eaves of a splendid university, have two apparently brilliant boys out-Neroed Nero in cold blood in the way in which they maintained that they murdered an unsuspecting boy only to gain a few thousand dollars they did ndt need,” Dr. Sibley said. v "Is this modern education producing such as this? Shall education, like a Frankenstein monster, destroy the very people who have I created it? Is education not worthy j the confidence we place in it? Have j we been educating our children only to make monsters of them?” The Rev. John Thompson, pastor of the Chicago Temple (Methodist), blamed “craving for thrills” for the Franks murder. “The craving for thrills is one of the most serious perils of modern young life,” Dr. Thompson told his audience. “These two university graduates knew not the value of money. Their every want was met. They lost the stimulus and the character-building reaction that comes from struggle.” With a growing staff of alieriists examining the two young slayers, chances for a bitter contest of scientific testimony are growing. The defense is making every esI fort to establish that Leopold and Loeb are insane and that they were not responsible for the killing. The 1 State, meanwhile, is preparing to i prove them “both morally and legal- | ly sane” and will attempt to have the boys hanged for the crime. The trial opens Aug. 4. poisbn'liquor FATAL TO TWO Twenty-Three Others in Hospital From Moonshine, Ry United Press PHILADELPHIA.

HIGH SCHOOLS TO BE OVERCROWDED (Continued From Page 1) action was rescinded, the entire pro gram was halted and the long period of delay resumed over the protests of Adolph Emhardt. Immediately delegations swamped i the board with protests, and The Indianapolis Times took up the battle for adequate high school facilities, just as It had for adequate grade schools previously. Finallyjfieldlfis to public opinion, the boara decided to build the colored and west side high schools at exI actly the locations it had repudiated. Architects Changed ! But in the case of Shortridge a change of architects was made. The discharged firm, standing on its signed contract, brought suit, and once again Shortridge was the goat. Tied up in litigation for no one knows how long, Shortridge will remain indefinitely suffering from the curse of basement and cloak room classrooms, being forced to use rooms outside the regular plant, and trying to accommodate about twice as many pupils as should be cared for. Some Shortridge advocates, embittered by long years of vain endeavor to obtain anew building, go so far as to charge the change in architects was a master piece of Fabjan tactics intended to delay the building of the school and at the same time “pass the buck” to warring architects. Facilities for 2,500 The improvements at Manual Training, while they will not be completed by September will be far enough advanced to be usable. When finished there will be school facilities N -for 2,500 pupils. Some relief will be obtained by erection of the colored high school, which will take about 900 pupils out of the other high schools, and the W r est Side high school, which will take out about 800. But for another year, at least, high school conditions in Indianapolis are going to be even more overcrowded "Yhan ever before, with the sole exception of Manual Training.

LA FOLLETTE MAY BE NOMINATED AT ST. PAULSESSION Convention May ‘Turn Other Cheek’ to Wisconsin Senator. By LOWELL MELLETT Times Staff Correspondent ST. PAUL, Minn., June 16.—Th convention which Senator La Fob lettc turned down seems unlikely t<3 return the compliment. Its dis< position is rather to turn the othef cheek. Expressions from delegates arriving for the sessions which be gin tomorrow indicate that little will transpire to which La Follette could object. ~The Communist party—attacked strongly by Senator Robert M. La Follettte —was kicked out of the Farmer-L&bor third party convention here today on the eve of its assembly. Organizers of the convention served notice upon the Communist delegates that they could not enter 1 the convention under the banner of their party. All the Communists, however, as members of various trade unions, will be permitted to participate in the gathering If they present credentials from their unions. Ix>st First Fight The communists lost their first fight at a preliminary organl* zation meeting Sunday night wiie.i they put__forward the idea that a National third party must bs launched now. idea was voted down. Instead the majority presenj adhered to the notion that it is wise* to wait and see if La Follette is to [become a candidate. If he is they j are prepared to indorse him. It not | T hey would have another candidate ! put into the presidential race. Either course could be parried out by an instructed executive committee to be appointed by the convention. This course, in fact, appears to be j favored by William Mahoney, secretary of the Minnesota Farmer-Labor ! party and chairman of the arrangements committee of the convention. I Mahoney, as editor of the Minnesota ; Union Advocate, has assailed La : Follette bitterly for his public refusal to have anything to do with a convention in which avowed communistis are to participate. Seems Ready to Help His own expressed opinion is that so long as these communists are working along "constitutional” lines no exception can be taken to them. Notwithstanding this, Mahoney seems ready to help put through a program that will eventually meet the La Follette objections in most other respects. In any case, he agrees that attempting to organize anew national party to participate in the corning election is unwise. And in this view he is supported by'* most of those who'have reached Pt. Paul. Men from States like Kansas and California, where they feel the chances for Progressive gains this year are extremely good, do not wish their chances hampered by the effort to produce and elect full party tickers. Foster, Reutenbcrg and Manley, of course, have not .given up hope. Pleasant, plausible and very intelligent. they may be expected to overlook no opportunity to turn the convention into the other course. "LA FOLLETTE TRICKED” Malioney Says Senator Was Fooled Into Making Statement. By United Peer* ST. PAUL. > inn., June 16. —“La Follette was misled by that gang in Washington," William Mahoney told the United Press today. “Samuel Gompers, head of the American Federation of Labor and Warren S. gtone of the Big Four Railroad Brotherhoods, tricked him into denouncing us because they want to kill off all chance of a successful third party. They would lose their \ jobs if a third party should be successful. "But we realize that all phases of the progressive sentiment in this country must be represented in any successful movement. “La Follette is not our man. He is not a radical. But he is the best we can gej. He can’t throw us over. We won’t let him. We want to unite the progressives of forty-eigh. States and we are willing to bury the hatchet to do it. “His denunciation of us was merely a political move. He knew he would have our support any way so he refused to cater to us.” Indorsement of La Follette, probably oh Thursday, will be the first official recognition he has been granted as a progressive. MOTHER AND SON GONE Husband Seeks Aid of Police to Locate Family. Police have been asked to search for Mrs. Sarah Floyd, 28, and her son Carl, 6, of 728 Harrison St., who failed to return home after going downtown Saturday afternoon. Lee Floyd, husband, said he had no knowledge of their whereabouts. Mrs. Rebecca Brown of 416 Harris Ave., told police her husband James left with their 4-year-old son following a domestic quarrel. Police aid has been asked in locating Robert Withrow, 16, of 526 N. Delaware St.; Robert Smith, 12, of 22 S. Holmes Ave., and Angel Howard, 11, of 3103 Jackson St., who left their homes Saturday.

Police found McDuff in his car, which had gone into a ditch near Fifty-Fourth and Washington Blvd. Fire Damage Is $2,000 Damage of $2,000 was done to a hog house and grain elevator east ol S.
