OGDEN LAYS LASH ON STATE COURTS AND OFFICIALS

ENTIRE STATE CRIME-RIDDEN, BAR CHIEF SAYS Conduct of Berch Scored as ‘Lazy’; Blasts at Lawyers. CORRUPTION IS TARGET 58.3 Per Cent Increase in Crime Is Laid to Marion County. By Timet Soecial BLOOMINGTON, Ind., July 10 Corrupt public officials and 'a lazy court” were listed as contributory causes of crime in Indiana by At-torney-General James M. Ogden, addressing the summer meeting of the Indiana State Bar Association here today. Ogden is president of the Association, and opened the program, which will continue today and Friday. Leading Indiana lawyers are attending. “Attitude of the Indiana Bar Toward the Crime Situation" was his subject. He scored present conduct of bench and bar and urged that greater effort be made by the profession to curb crime and prevent corruption. Dodges Dry Problem ‘ We are spending more money on crime than on education,” Ogden declared. “It costs the nation $6,000 per criminal to build a prison. For less money a whole family could be housed. "The plan of building cities on chessboards saves us the trouble of thinking, but it may not be the last word in wisdom.” Dodging discussion of the eighteenth amendment and the Wright "bone dry’’ law, Ogden explained the commission by quoting statistics showing that but 10.4 per cent of all convictions in the state for 1938 were dry felonies. “Crime In Indiana has increased 76 per cent from 1909 to 1930, while the population gain has been less than 20 per cent,” he asserted. “Os the total crime increase, 58.3 per cent was in Marion county. The five largest counties of the state, in which 32 per cent of the population resides, are charged with committing 68 per cent of all basic offenses. Marion County “High” “Thirteen and one-half per cent of the state's population, residing j in Marion county, committed 37 per cent of the offenses. “Lake county led in the number of homicides, having forty-nine I compared with twenty-nine in Ma- , non county “Reports from 637 courts in the ! state for 1929 show that of every r 100 defendants, only twelve received any punishment.” At this point in the speech Ogden quoted the results of an investigation by untier-cover men from his department regarding vice condi-1 tions in “a certain state city not in j Marion, Lake or Vigo county.” The report set out that there was open liquor selling, gambling and houses of prostitution being oper- i ateti under a protected system. Police arrest only traffic law violators, Ogden declared, but, since the investigation, a “clean up" h.>; been launched. Officials Are Flayed “Federal officers are the only ones whom any of the law violators fear,” he alleged. "At least one of these federal officers is weak and unconcerned. "The chief of police attends liquor parties and is a heavy drinker. A brother-in-law of the mayor has a bootleg place. The prosecuting attorney is very weak on law enforcement. "The conditions could hardly be worse if there were no law-enforc-ing agencies in that city.” Urging co-operation of home, church, schools and press in putting down crime, Ogden turned to the part to be played by the lawyer. “The government of the United States is and always has been a lawyer's government.” he contended. “But we are all agreed that the lawyer is not performing his duty in the crime situation.” Collector Robbed by Negro A Negro who leaped with drawn revolver to the running board of his auto at Indiana avenue and Locke street Wednesday night, forced him to drive to Harding and Sixteenth streets and robbed him of $25, Hyde Woodbury, 32 East Thirty-second street, collector for the Great Western Insurance Company, told police today.

BY NINON Written for NEA Service T)OETRY stirs mankind because of the emotional effects it achieves through its cadences —cool lines, then burning ones. This same beauty of cadence can be achieved for the eye-minded, which means the majority of the world, by dividing all colors into warm ones and cool ones and playing them against each other. • Perhaps you have that rare combination—dusky tresses and blue, blue eyes, the kind that are pools of sapphire water fringed by dark lashes. If so, look to Billy Dove. She is this type. She dresses to her eyes’ color, all the blues that there are, with special emphasis upon the clear, penetrating tones. Blacks are good, too, and always a simplicity. White, too, gleaming, scintillating pearls and crystals. For make-up, she plays up to her eyes, too. A little of that blue tinting for the lids which, done skillfully, defies detection, yet emphasizes the importance of eyes, powder in light tone, no rouge to speak of and cherry red lipstick which contrasts with the paleness of her face, the blueness of her eyes, the dark beauty of her rich dusky hair. If you do not know the efficacy of high-lighting your best features, take a lesson from Billy. To maintain that cool impression of beauty, Billy knows the value of restraint, simplicity in styles, few but good pieces of jewelry, a classic grace in simple coiffure, elusive perfume, rare flowtrsr sta s&gle violets, white

SBOO,OOO LOAN OF BETHLEHEM AIDEDJERGER Backing Is Revealed as Pickands Mather Chief Takes Stand. Bu United Press YOUNGSTOWN, July 10.—Bethlehem Steel Corporation loaned Pickands Mather & Cos. SBOO,OOO of the $9,000,000 Pickands Mather spent to promote the merger of Bethlehem and Youngstown Sheet and Tube, it was testified in court here today. The witness was Henry G. Dalton, one of the three operating partners. of Pickands, Mather, and a director of both Youngstown and Bethlehem. Bethlehem loaned Pickands Mather SBOO,OOO to buy Sheet and Tube stock and vote in in favor of the merger, Dalton said. Dalton made the statement under cross-examination by attorneys for the Cyrus S. Eaton interests, who are making a court fight to prevent consummation of the merger. They charge the combine was engineered without regard for stockholders’ rights. The relations of Pickands Mather & Cos., an ore shipping and mine operating firm, are important in the merger case, because Eaton's suit charges that interests allied with Bethlehem bought up Youngstown stock and used it tb force the merger through. The questions of Eaton attorneys today centered on an attempt to prove such an alliance between Pickands, Mather and Bethlehem. It Is claimed that Pickands, Mather backed the merger through fear that if it failed, Eaton would merger Sheet & Tube with his own Republic Steel Corporation. This would have meant trouble for the ore company, since Republic already has its own mine operating and ore shipping firm.

Care in Diet During Heat Wave Urged

Use common sense in selecting your diet this summer if you want ! to keep fit in bot weather, advises j Dr. Herman G. Morgan, city sani- | tarian. j Dr. Morgan believes that the aver- ! age person selects a well-balanced diet if he follows the dictates of his own taste. In many instances, food fads are as detrimental as ; beneficial, Dr. Morgan said. "Don’t overload your stomach in hot weather; get sufficient rest as well as exercise; watch your elimination and you should have no difficulty in weathering the high temperature,” he asserts. “And don't become alarmed if sonny refuses to eat spinach three times a week,” the doctor advises. “The chances are that trying to make a child eat something he doesn't want results in dyspepsia of the father and mother which does more harm than the spinach does the child good. “Competition in my family is so keen that we don't have much trouble getting the children to eat certain things,” commented Dr. Morgan, father of four children.
