LEADER FLAYS BIRTH CONTROL ‘BOOTLEGGING’ Declares Nation Must Biot It Out or Use Sane Direction. BY MAX STEEN Times Staff Correspondent SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 21.—Birth control information through bootlegging or through legalized and intelligent directing. This is America’s alternative, according to Mrs. Margaret Sanger, leading birth control advocate, past president of the American Birth Control League, and now head of twenty-s..x birth control clinics in the United States. She is now lecturing in California. Mrs. Sanger says that the present session of congress will be asked to legalize dissemination of contraceptive information through the mails, now banned by Section 211 of the penal code. Already, she says, there is no legal ban in twenty-four states, and only two states, Connecticut and New Jersey, forbid physicians to give birth control advice. She says birth control information should be legalized and disseminated through social workers’ agencies. Otherwise "it becomes a Pandora’s box.” Points to Bad Results "The lid is off now,” said Mrs. Sanger. "The educated, well-to-do upper middle-class and artisan groups are having controlled families. The casual, unskilled worker, foreign-born, sub-normal and feeble-minded groups, the 'disgenie’ groups, are either not practicing birth control or, if they do, they are ‘bootlegging’ it with bad results. "When you consider what 75 per cent of our births come from latter groups you realize how important to America’s future is this problem. "Our problem, of course, is economic. If America’s population increases in the next 200 years as fast as it has in the past fifty years then in 200 years the United States will hold a population equal to that of the entire world, or 2,000,000,000 people. “Our problem is also biological Do we want our future citizens recruited from the 20,000,000 intellectuals or from the estimated 85,000,000 of our mediocre, subnormal and ‘disgenie’ groups, whose families run fifom four to twelve children each? Groups Become a Drag "More and more, unless birth control intervenes, these groups will become a drag, sapping the energies and vitality of the upper groups. "We talk of peace pacts and world peace. But no lasting peace is secure without settling first the population problem. This problem is acute in Poland, Austria, Germany and other European countries in spite of the World war. It is a canker in Japan. It will come to America, unless intelligently directed birth control is permitted.” Eaton President 80 Years Dies EATON, Ind., Dec. 21.—Funeral services were held today for John Foorman, a resident of Eaton eighty years. The rites were in charge of the local Masonic lodge, of which he had been a member sixty years.

Just a year after she sunk off Provincetown with a loss of 40 lives, the sumbarine S-4 slipped to the bottom of Long Island sound in the first of a series of tests which may prevent further loss of life in undersea craft. In the upper photo you see the top of the recondition ed hulk, this time without a crew, as it was slipping beneath the surface. Lcwer right is Edward Yeadon, diver, being swung out over the side of the tender Falcon. His job was to attach chains to the heavy steel hooks installed on the submarine. The craft then was <o be raised by pontoons. At 3:47 p. m., the hour of the disaster last year, salvage crews, even the divevs standing on the ocean bottom, stood for a moment in silent prayer. The ceremony is pictured lower left as it was observed on the deck of the mine layer Chewink.

INDIAN LAND IS HELDJBYCURTIS Refuses Title; Remains as Allottee 138. By United Press PAWNEE, Okla., Dec. 21.—The world may know of Charles Curtis as a veteran senator—the former leader of the majority party in the upper house of congress—and Vice-President-elect of the United States, but to the Pawnee Indian agency he merely is Kaw Allottee 138. Because he has Indian blood in his veins the Vice-President-elect Is the holder of Indian lands granted to all Indians of the Kaw tribe, on which reservation Curtis was raised, when the reservation was divided years ago. Curtis could have obtained an ouright title to the land, but he declined to do so, preferring to leave it “restricted”—that is, under Indian agency supervision—as an example to other Indians. Restricted land cannot be sold or

leased without the consent of the secretary of the interior. The Vice-President-elect felt that leaving his land restricted would influence

JAZZ TO HAVE DAY IN CHURCH. SAYS RAMAN Congregations Need Thrill, View of Washington ‘Blues’ Yodler. By HE A Service TACOMA, Wash., Dec. 21. Church congregations of the future may be entertained with music that is jazz. The mighty church organs may ring out with the boom-boom-boom of blue harmonies. And the now-forbidden saxophone may pass beyond the vestry. Paul Tutmarc, Tacoma band leader and sweet-voiced blues yodler of KMO, Tacoma, believes that the day is coming when jazz will go to church. “Church music is lagging behind the spiritual and intellectual development of the age, and there must be a radical change if congregations are to be built up,” he says. * "The greatest factor in religious music should be the spiritual exaltation —the thrill—that comes from rhythm. The greatest piece of church music ever composed—the ‘Hallelujah Chorus’—gets its tremendous appeal through its almost syncopated beat. "But nearly all other hymns grind out slowly and wearily—with the exception, of course, of ‘Onward Christian Soldiers.’ “All fundamental native religions depend upon the rhythm from tomtoms. And our own Bible tells us of how David, in this hour of happiness, leaped and danced before the Lord. He couldn’t have done that to the tune of any of our modern church music. "There is no reason why the church should not take advantage of all the instruments. When organs first were introduced into churches there was a great uproar, i but now they are accepted. "The time has come for the other instruments to enter the church.” Tutmarc does not profess to know what the final form of church music will be. He feels, however, that it should be evolved from all the forms of

music known today—particular! the modulations and key changeof modern "blues” music. “Nothing has ever been written that has such a basic emotiona' appeal as the negro spirituals which are simply ‘blues’ with religious words,” he explains. “No sermon has ever been so packed with true religious fervor as ‘Ail God’s Chillun Got Wings’ and ’Swing Low, Sweet Chariot.’ ” x Tutmarc is going to put his the-j ries into practice. He is scheduled to take his banjo and sing spirituals at the First Baptist church in Tacoma. INDIANA GIRL IN FILMS Carol Lombard Once Played With Dolls at Ft. Wayne. By Times Special FT.

U.S. SEEKS A PERFECT MOTOR FUEL FOR AUTO Co-Operates With Automotive Industry to Solve Engine Problem. Bn United Press WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.—Why does the engine on your automobile sometimes miss when you step on the accellerator? That’s what the Bureau of Standards, in co-operation with the automotive and petroleum industry,

is trying to find out, the department of commerce announces. The Bureau of standards has already made a few discoveries along this line. For instance, of two fuels, one may give better results in winter, another in summer. Another discovery is that while the temperature of an engine’s wa-ter-jacket has little effect on acceleratoin, a motor will “pick up’* quicker when the intake manifold is hot. A perfect motor fuel is what th Bureau of standards hopes to find.
