CITY LISTENERS EXPRESS VIEWS ON NBCHOOKUP All Agree That WEAF Service Fails Indianapolis; Want Change. BY JOHN T. HAWKINS Time* Radio EditorFrom til indications Indianapolis radio listeners want NBC programs in their own home town. Judging from letters written to the radio editor in answer to a recent query in The Times, reception in Indianapolis and surrounding counties is exceedingly unsatisfactory, if at all possible, of the NBC programs originating through that part of the National system headed by WEAF. All opinions point to -the same result, the NBC should come to Indianapolis. One of the local stations is free to accept chain programs, and from all indications, would welcome the tteup. Write the radio editor and give him your views on the subject. Fine Programs Missed Two of the letters written by listeners who favor the NBC for Indianapolis are as follows: "Radio Editor Times —Very seldom can we get the NBC broadcasts originating from WEAF in New York, and we have an up-to-date radio, too. “Indianapolis and vicinity surely misses many fine programs through this chain,’so let’s all get busy on the proposition and remedy the unfortunate condition that now exists. ‘‘ERNEST O. LANGEN.” From another listener: • Relative to WSAI discontinuing NBC programs as far as I am concerned it will make no difference at all. Unless conditions are very favorable the NBC (WEAF) programs are impossible to get satisfactorily. They can be had but not without noise and fading. Time Is Divided

“Asa consequence we divide our tune between WFBM, WKBF and WLW. I will venture to say that 99 per cent of the people of Indianapolis listen to these stations only, with an occasional exception to get some certain program not carried by these stations. “The WEAF chain has many fine programs that would be listened too if they could only be tuned in satisfactorily. I certainly hope some arrangement is made whereby a local station will broadcast these programs. “P. K. WALL.” Now that you have read what some of the others think about It, write the radio editor. Hie Indianapolis Times, and tell him just exactly what you think about NBC for Indianapolis. ‘MORE BABIES’ DRIVE IS URGED IN FRANCE Declining Population Ratio Endangers Nation's Position,' Is' Claim. By United Pre* PARIS, Aug. s.—France needs more babies, in the determined opinion of the Alliance Nationale, French propagandist organization. With fears unallayed at the French nation's remarkable recovery in birth since the World war, the society for bigger French families has isued a warning that the declining population ratio of France is endangering her economic and political position among the European nations. Observing that France had a population of 26,000,000 in 1789, the largest on the continent, the Alliance Nationale takes scant pleasure at the subsequent 15,000,000 increase, which places her behind Russia, Germany, England and even Italy. Forceful government measures, with the aim in view of indemnifying and encouraging large families, is the sole solution in sight and the purpose of the alliance

TOE NAILS DISCLOSE SECRETS OF HUMANS Reveal Person’s Age, Likes, Health, Chiropodists Assert. By United Prets DETROIT, Aug. s.—Your age, your disposition, your likes and dislikes, and your general state of health all are revealed by your toe nails, but most of the secrets are safe, for it takes a chiropodist to read the signs. Speakers at the nineteenth annual convention of the National Association of Chiropodists explained their secrets. Furrows on the nail indicate the years, just as rings in a tree show its age. A short, stubby toe nail usually is possessed by a selfish, self-centered individual, while the long, narrow and slightly oval naU denotes & man or woman who is alert mentally, keen, refined and generally a nice person to be around. COUNCILMEN READY TO START BUDGET STUDY Mayor to Turn Figures Over to Committees in Few Days. City councilmen expect to start informal study of the 1931 budget this week, according to James A. Houck, council finance chairman. Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan has promised to turn over some departmental requests to the council committee within a few days to permit scrutiny on the budgets before they are formally introduced in council, Houck said. Elimination of the thoroughfare fund, by which street opening and widening projects are financed, is contemplated to enable a cut in the levy, it was said.

HOOVER RAISES FUNDS TO PAY COMMISSIONS Solicits $700,000 to Keep Groups Operating; No Public Funds Available. Bu United Press WASHINGTON, Aug. s.—President Hoover’s own little secret about how he finances the activities of his unofficial commissions was disclosed today. The United Press learned the President raised $250,000 for the recent child health commission and is now raising $250,000 more for the forthcoming White House conference on home building and home ownership, the money having already been promised. These sums together with various smaller amounts make a total of between $600,000 to $700,000 which Mr. Hoover has collected by private subscription for various commissions not supported by public funds. The major portion of the sums were contributed by the Carnegie foundation and the Rockefeller Institute, both endowed philanthropic organizations. The Russell Sage Foundation also has made a contribution. The President himself has made smaller contributions. The White House declined to discuss or comment upon the disclosure. Mr. Hoover steadfastly has maintained reticence about the methods by which he has followed the unusual policy of establishing unofficial commissions to promote unofficial public welfare work. Makes Second Suicide Attempt FT. WAYNE, Ind., Aug. s.—Selfadministered poison ended the life of Joseph A. Holocher, 37, Ft. Wayne. It was his second suicide attempt. Domestic quarrels were believed to be the motive.
