U. S. PRESENTS NEW PUN TO AID GERMANY Urges World Powers’ Banks to Join and Maintain Short-Term Credit. PROPOSAL MEETS FAVOR Great Britain and France Reported Interested in Suggestions. BY JOSEPH H BAIRD United press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. July 21. —The* American government through its representatives at the London conference today proposed an international agreement of bankers be made to maintain short term credits amounting to $1,200,000,000 which have been extended to Germany. The proposal was made as a means of safeguarding the German eeconomic structure. The plan provides that European nations eliminate present political friction for the economic benefit of Europe. It suggests that an international committee, probably under the auspices of the Bank of intej> national Settlement, provide machinery for international cooperation to maintain short term credits for Germany. The American plan does not envisage any immediate long-term credit to the reich. It does provide that immediate consideration be given to the ultimate conversion of some short-term credits into long-term obligations. 'Jutlined at Conference The American plan was made public here today by William Castle, acting secretary of state. It was outlined to the seven-power economic conference in London by State Secretary Henry L. Stimson. President Hoover communicated the plan to Stimson and Secretary Andrew Mellon last Friday, and the two cabinet officers discussed the plan in broad outline, with the French and Germans in Paris on Saturday before going to London. 'the proposal follows: 1. International bankers' agreement to renew $1,200,000,000 of short term credits to Germany. 2. An inquiry into immediate further credit needs of Germany. 3. Development in the next six i or eight months of plans for con- j version of some of the foregoing j short term credits into long term j credits. Seek to Aid Confidence “The essence of the problem is the restoration of confidence in Germany’s economic, life, both in Germany and abroad.” the United States’ statement here said. “On the political side the United States hopes that, through mutual good will and understanding, the European nations may eliminate all friction so that the world may rely upon the political stability of Europe. “On the economic side, the present emergency is strictly a shortterm credit crisis. Fundamental pressure upon German economy during the period of depression has been relieved by the joint action of the creditor powers in suspending all payments upon governmental debts during the period of one >ear. "But Germany has financed her economic activities to a very great extent, through the medium of short-term foreien credits Soundness Ts Stressed “There is no reason to doubt the soundness of the basis upon which these credits rest, but the general uncertainty which has prevailed for the last few weeks resulted in such a loss of confidence that the German banking and credit structure was subjected to a very severe strain. “Fundamentally there is nothing to justify the uncertainty, and if through co-operative action, it can be arrested, there is no reason why the present emergency can not be immediately and definitely surmounted. In the development of such a program, the governments of the countries having principal banking centers, including the United States, Belgian. France, Great Britain, Holland, Italy. Japan and Switzerland and other important banking centers, might well undertake to encourage their bankers so to organize as to permit the mainiainence for an adequate period of time of present day outstanding lines of credit to Germany. Strict Control Urged “The responsibility for working >ut the details of such a program ind the methods of making it effective with due regard to the prolection of the banks and the need tot German economy should be left to the banking communities of the respective countries and the central banks could we believe be relied fiuon to furnish the necessary eadership, co-operation and direction. “Such voluntary arrangements should be supplemented, for the time being, by strict control of all foreign exchange transactions by the reichsbank so that the integrity of the program can be maintained and the banks that are participating can be assured that there would be no arbitray withdrawal either from within or without Germany." Castle said he understood Great Britain was favorable toward the proposal. He added the interest France had taken in providing a long-term loan was ample of evidence of its desire to co-operate in •oivmg Germany’s problems.

’Member in that swimming layout of Broad Ripple park? Jack helped a lot getting that layout. Boss! He was always that way around the pool—helping folks, children, everybody. These are tough cutlines, boss, give ’em to someone else.

Strength of Fifteen Men Is Required to Release Victim’s Body, Trapped by the clutching outlet flow into a drain pipe in Broad Ripple swimming pool late Monday, 21-year-old Jack Shaffer, chief life guard, drowned while companions exhausted themselves in the fight for his rescue. Several times they descended under water to the floor of the basin where he was trapped, saw with horrified eyes a powerful swimmer slip into unconsciousness that preceded death, and fought against a force beyond their power, to free their friend. Swimimng under water to the mouth of the pipe with a small rubber ball, probably to test the speed of the flow, Shaffer was caught in the opening and held thirteen feet under water for twenty-five minutes. He was extricated only after fifteen men grasped an inch cable which had been looped around his body, and with '.their combined strength overcame the pull of the water through the pipe. Some of them with tears in their eyes, other life guards and experts worked for five hours in shifts attempting artificial respiration before (Turn to Fage 5)

YOUTH STEALS CANARY, BUT IS SHOWN MERCY Judge Lets Kenneth Murhwin Off With Warning to Be Good. A bird in a gilded cage chirped merrily in its mistress’ house again today, and Kenneth Murhwin, 18, of 30 South Noble street, escaped a barred cell because he was given another chance. Story of the theft of the canary from her home by the youth Monday afternoon was related in court by Mrs. Elizabeth Collins, 50 South Summit street. She said Murhwin fled with the bird and its cage. “I ran him clear down to Pine street—that’s five or six blocks away, but he got away from me,” Mrs. Collins said. Arrested by detectives, Murhwin was said to have admitted the theft. The bird and cage were returned to Mrs. Collins. “After this, young man, watch your ages and birds in general,” Judge William H.

Caylor, statehouse custodian who engineered the $64,000 statehouse cleaning job without advertising for bids, admitted today that more than a year ago he had i verbal estimates hn the outside j cleaning job as low as $9,000 This estimate was for cleaning \ the outside only, he said, for which j the company now doing the work ! is receiving $28,775. “But I didn’t believe the Indian- j apolis companies giving me such ; figures had the equipment to do the job, so I didn’t invite them to bid,” j Caylor explained. He later admitted that the Cincinnati Building Cleaning Company, which has the contract, is doing the work with rented equipment.

STATE’S WRATH ROUSED BY SENTENCE OF EXILE FOR MOTHERLESS BOY

Indiana “Justice"

A former cabinet officer who sold his country is taken to prison in an ambulance, to serve eight months for a crime that was in reality treason. He is an old man. He receives pity, and perhaps a pardon will follow. But there seems to be no official pity for a 13-year-old boy who now is in an Indiana prison for eight years because he ate supper with his father. His crime seems to have been that he was born into a poor family, overburdened in these distressing days. But Jesus was born in a manger. The lad stole a few trifles from a butcher. His sentence was banishment from Princeton, Ind. He moved too slowly for the autocratic judge. Now he is being educated into crime. He probably will be graduated into Pendleton and take a doctor's degree at Michigan City, if the people of Indiana permit. Perhaps something can be done for this boy. True, nothing could be done for a 16-year-old girl, still in a penitentiary for obtaining a banana by forgery, after two years’ servitude. It may not be too late to lift this burden of shame from the state. It may not be too late for some kind-hearted family to give this boy a home and a chance if public opinion can force his release. Will Indiana act? Or will it permit banishment and prison to be the punishment for poverty?

Supreme Court Approval Is Given Educational Segregation. Segregation of Negro and white pupils in Inidana schools was upheld today by the state supreme court, ruling in the Gary case which led to a Strike of Emerson high school pupils more than three years ago. In an opinion written by Judge Walter E. Treanor, the court upheld William Wirt, superintendent of Gary schools and member of the state board of education. In December, 1927, Wirt was the target of a mandate suit filed by Richard Cheeks. Gary Negro, in behalf of Alberta Cheeks, who had entered Emerson high school. Shortly after her entrance, pupils struck. On Wirt’s orders she was directed to attend another school in Gary which had a two-year high school course. After that she was to have gone to Froebel high school. The mandate suit, filed in Porter circuit court, charged discrimination. and set out that the girl was deprived of privileges, including athletic facilities. In his opinion, Treanor said the athletic side of school life was nonessential and the girl had not suffered from lack of educational instruction or facilities. He quoted an 1877 Indiana statute, setting out that color can be considered as a qualification for guidance of school authorities in establishment of Negro schoois. 77 ARE CAUGHT IN POLICE SAFETY NET Drive to Continue Tonight in Effort to Halt Traffic Hazards.

The ambulance made its way slowly to the home. Placed near the casket. Sirp heard the eulogies and tributes paid his wife by preachers and friends.

Storm of Protest Is Aimed at Judge Who Drove Lad From County. GIVEN EIGHT-YEAR TERM Demands for Mercy Flood Office of Governor Leslie. Demands that the blindfold be torn from the eyes of Justice to save a 13-year-old motherless boy from the state boys' school flooded the office of Governor Harry G. Leslie today. The pleas and demands came from an irate Indiana populace, horrified over the eight-year sentence imposed on little John Tooley of Princeton because he didn't leave his home and Gibson county on orders of Judge Claude Smith. One letter —that of A. Eugene Martin, state representative, of Ft. Wayne—asked the Governor to demand Judge Smith's resignation and to call a special session of the legislature for his impeachment if the judge fails to resign. Probe Is .Started Immediate investigation of the case was opened by L. O. Chasey, secretary to Leslie. Chasey is to communicate with the court in an effort to learn the facts in the case. Last week, John, ragged, hatiess. and barefooted, stood before Smith and admitted he had stolen an old meat cleaver and tongs from a blacksmith shop. Smith heard the evidence and ordered the boy to leave Gibson county. Hungry and knowing that a few more tattered clothes might be needed by a lad who was ejected by the law from his own county, the boy stopped to gather what few garments he had. During that time, he visited with his father, Alfred, who prepared a cold meal. Taking a last stand, the father went to Smith and pleaded with him to permit the boy to stay in Princeton. Judge’s Wrath Aroused Angered when he learned the boy had not followed immediately the court’s exile order, Smith ordered the boy arrested. Tearfully pleading: “Get me my clothes and I’ll leave now,” the child appeared before Smith the next morning. Smith turned a deaf ear to the boy’s pleas and sentenced him to eight years in the boys’ school. Northern Indiana newspapers particularly are incensed by the imprisonment of the child.' The South Bend News-Times wired the Governor as follows: News-Times readers are incensed over sentencing of John Tooley, 13, to eight years in state school for failing to leave Gibson county immediately, after banish- * ment by .Judge Claude J. Smith. We appeal to you to go into the case and act to allay unrest aroused by apparent injustice. Assailed in Editorial Assailing the sentence, the Ft. Wayne News-Sentinel printed the following editorial headed IS THIS “HOOSIER JUSTICE"? A ragged, motherless boy of 13 was brought before a judge at Princeton, Ind., charged with stealing an old meat cleaver and a pair of tongs from a blacksmith shop. The judge ordered the boy into exile —ordered him to get out of Gibson county and stay out. The boy made ready to take his leave, but went to say goodby to his father. The lad hastily got his few belongings together and sat down to a meager supper, while the father went to plead with the judge to permit his son to stay at home. Not only was the almighty court unmoved by this entreaty, but his honor” was so angered because the youngster was not yet out of the county that he sent police to arrest the offender and to hold him in jail over night. Next morning, the boy said: “Get me my clothes, and I’ll leave, now.” But the almighty court couldn’t see it that way, and the 13-year-old boy went to the Indiana Boys’ school to serve a sentence of eight years. Hoosiers can’t be a very proud of that record. Incidentally, we'd like to have a Wickersham opinion on the matter.
