DUNES SUP BY 1 AS CARAVAN OF SKIES ROARS ON State Air Tour Marred Only Slightly by Minor Crackups. BY CARLOS LANE Times Staff Corresoondent GARY, Ind., June 13---Indiana’s lamed sand dunes along Lake Michigan’s southern shores stretched their yellow expanses in the sun this morning for new and strange visitors as a fleet of planes of the Indiana air tour passed over them on' the fourth day’s trip. Prom Gary the thirty odd ships, on tlie trip stretched in a long line! toward Valparaiso, from where they will cut oucr. iwrth on a short hop to Michigan City, and thence to Ft. Wayne after circling above Culver Military Academy on Lake Maxlnkuckee. Two mmor crashes marred a two, years’ record of stat tours without' mishap when a military plane nosed; over at Lafayette and a biplane du- j plicated the trick at Wolcott' Wednesday. No One Is Injured No serious personal Injury result- i ed from either accident. Lieutenant Russell Long of the One hundred thirteenth observation squadron, Indiana national guard, suffered a bruised right arm when the national guard ship, piloted by Lieutenant Howard H. Maxwell, flipped on its back in a mushy field after a forced landing on the formation take-off. Occupants of the other national guard ships, Major Richard E. Taylor, Lieutenant Matt G. Carpenter, Lieutenant Emory Bryan and the writer, watched the mishap and ran to aid the boys as quicly as they landed. Maxwell had crawled from the cockpit and lifted the plane to free, Long. Two dirty faces smiled as we ran up. sir, how soon do we take off again?” Long asked the major. War Birds Show Stuff Another plane was ferried over from Stout field and we flew directly to Gary, where, inspired perhaps by the weather or by the crash, the war birds got in the nicest flying of the tour thus far, swinging over Gary in a formation which, from the ground, the three ships appeared welded together. In truth a man could have leaped the distance between wing tips and the major’s stabilizer, but no one thought much of attempting the feat. The other accident occurred in landing at Wolcott, where Frankie Herdrich, a young Indianapolis pilot, flying one of Bob Shank’s seven planes from Hoosier airport in the tour, eased the biplane over gently

Clara Sears, Temperance Leader, Dies

k ilß|

Miss Clara M. Sears

Illness of eleven weeks ended in the death early today of Miss Clara j M. Sears, 69, treasurer of the Indiana Women’s Christian Temperance Union for the last twentyseven years. Miss Sears died at 2 a. m. of paralysis at her home, 2023 North Illinois street. She lived in Anderson before coming hpre eighteen years ago. Her birthplace was near Springfield. O. Since childhood, Miss Sears had been an active crusader for temperance. Funeral services will be held at 1:30 Saturday at the First Baptist church. Burial will be in Crown Hill cemetery. Miss Sears is survived by three brothers, Simmion P, Sears of Middletown, O.; Samuel D. Sears of Dayton, 0., and John P. Sears, senior member of Sears-Harvey Company. with little injury to the plane and none to himself. Major H. Weir Cook retained tour honors for leisure today when he poked all over the state in his little Curtiss-Wright Junior, one of a handful of infant planes on the tour. He still blames his tardiness on the straw hat he wears in the cockpit, which is ahead of the pusher motor and consequently has little draft. Rex Risher, genial state police captain, who is tour master, exercised a penchant for hog-calling in Terre Haute Tuesday night to the dismay of those early to bed, and his companions to the contrary still insist that somewhere in the city on the Wabash there must be roving a pig named Elmer.

DETROIT RELIEF FUNDS WASTED, FORD CHARGES Brands Bungling Criminal Negligence; Couzens Defends Mayor. BY PAUL WEBER United Pres* Staff Correspondent DETROIT, June 18.—While the Ford Motor Company charged city officials with ‘‘criminal negligence” in the handling of unemployment relief funds, Senator James Couzens, one jof the company’s founders, today was actively defending Mayor Frank Murphy and the principle of government relief. “I can not understand criticism of city relief which has prevented soup kitchens, bread lines and violence in Detroit this winter,” Couzens said. Couzens* statement was made after a conference with the mayor, at which the Ford dispute and the entire question of economic depression was discussed, Couzens plans to introduce unemployment insurance bills in the next congress. The Ford company’s latest charge in a controversy rooted in the question of the relative merits of public and private charities, was made by Louis Colombo, attorney for the company, and personal attorney for Henry Ford. ‘‘There is evidence of general negligence—l say even criminal negligence—in the welfare department,” Colombo said to Thomas E. Dolan, superintendent of the department which has spent $17,000,000 for relief since the beginning of the depression. ‘‘Are you speaking for the Ford Motor Company?” Colombo was asked. “I certainly am.” he replied. Colombo’s statement was made at a conference with Dolan and Harry H. Bennett, chief of the Ford service department. It was Bennett who | started the controversy with charges I that Ford workers were systemati- : cally robbing the city by getting city i charity while drawing pay at the River Rouge plant. Bennett at the meeting with Do- ! lan, qualified the original allega-

tlons, explaining that the Ford company, in submitting a list of 229 workers, did not intend to charge that all were getting fraudulent aid from the city. A check showed only thirteen cases of possible fraud out of 100 names. Two of the thirteen already are being prosecuted. The support of the liberal Senator Couzens, former general manager of the Ford company, and mayor of Detroit during the 1921 depression, put new life into the defense of the beleaguered mayor and his aids. Murphy announced appointment of a disinterested committee to investigate the Ford charges. The Ford company countered with a demand that the mayor account for the $17,000,000 spent for doles. The company was asking this accounting ‘‘as a taxpayer,” its officials said. Murphy replied with obvious resentment: ‘‘l am compiling the eighteen-month history of the Ford Motor Company in regard to welfare work. That will be my answer.” Car Service May Stop By Time* Special MARION, Ind., June 18.—Three towns between Marion and Bluffton will lose their interurban facilities if the Indiana public service commission acts favorably on a petition of the Indiana service corporation to abandon its MarionB’.uffton line.

TRAFFIC PUZZLE ! BEWILDERING AS ! CARS MULTIPLY Road Jams of Today Mild as Compared With 1941 Prospect. Should the number of automobiles now in use in Marion county increase in the next ten years by as j many times as the number of vehicles increased in tha last ten years, Indianapolis and Marion county will be faced wi;h a traffic problem of staggering proportions. Sunday traffic in and around In- • dlanapolis at present offers the greatest problem. County roads lead to no place in particular but are crowded. Hundreds of city resi- | dents each Sunday hie themselves : to far-off spots. Indianapolis lacks a picnicking spot to compare with those in northern or southern Indiana. In the north, Lake Wawasee beckons the week-end motorists, and in the south picturesque Brown county and McCormick's creek canyon lure other Sunday travelers. For the Sunday afternoon motori ists—the ones who do their driving 1 after dinner —automobile travel pre-

sents not only a problem, but a hazard. Roads are crowded and speed of the automobiles is cut down to not more than ten or fifteen miles an hour, even on open state roads. Many city persons head for Noblesville and Penclieton. site cf small parks. Others “do” Lebanon, Franklin, Greensburg and other nearby towns and cities merely driving there and stopping for an ice cream soda before returning home. Riverside and Garfield park* are crowded each week-end with those persons who have no automobiles and who are perfectly content to their outdoors 'in their “back yards.” A giant park, situated near Indianapolis, might solve the outing problem of thousands and cut down hazardous driving on state roads. Some day, motorists hope, it will come.
