PINCHOT CALLS ON U. S. TO FEED HUNGRY Government Must Act This Winter, Governor Says in Detroit Talk. USES BITTER SARCASM ‘lt’s Time to Help Out Americans,’ Pennsylvania Chief Declares. By United Preen DETROIT, Aug. 13— Governor Gifford Pinchot, of Pennsylvania today named the federal government as the only agency capable of feeding the nations hungry this winter and demanded that it supply the necessary relief. Governor Pinchot spoke at a luncheon of Detroit's unemployment committee, attended by Mayor Frank Murphy and the men and women he named to dispense nearly *20,000,000 in the last year in municipal funds to Detroit’s thousands of jobless. “Private and municipal charities can not cope with the problem this winter,” Pinchot said. “The fact is, that the only power strong enough and able to act in time to meet the new problem of the coming winter, is the government of the United States,” Pinchot said. “This is a national emergency. It is a national calamity as well. The. nation must help to meet it. Insists U. S. Must Act “The government of this country exists for the protection and preservation of its people. Let it carry out the purpose of its existence. Pinchot said he was aware a deficit existed in the federal treasury, but added that the credit of the government was good, and that securities of the nation always were in demand Funds, he said, could be raised by the government in a week. “If we can declare a moratorium to help Germany, if we can recoin- ! mend a loan of a billion, two hun- ! dred million dollars for Germany, what is there wrong in a federal loan to feed the needy in America?” he asked. “A man can be in hearty sympathy with Mr Hoover's moratorium, his loan for Germany, and his plan generally to pull Germany out of her troubles, and at the same time more interested in seeing the government of the United States, the only power able to do it, take hold and pull our own people out of their troubles. ‘‘Care for Our Own” “The saving of Germany largely is a question of protesting international loans. Very well. Let them be protected But why not a little care for our own people who no longer can get loans, even from a pawnbrker, because they have nothing left to pledge. The government has appropriated in the past., Pinchot. said, funds to help those in need in foreign countries, “and if those have been aided, the needy of our own land can not be denied fairly.” Warning that empty stomachs of the depression were a breeding ground and a harvest time for revolutionists and other trouble makers was sounded by the Governor. Citing conditions in his own state, Governor Pinchot said that hungry children in the mining districts were being taught to “hate the government. which permits them to go hungry." * Pregnant signs already are seen, Pinchot said, that men whose families lack the bare necessities of living are likely to regard it as their right to take food where they find it. Cites Issues Flatly “And who among us can guarantee that he would not be tempted if his family were starving?” he asked. “With food so cheap that wheat is burned in the public street and grain in the field, who can wonder at the indignation of those who ask nothnig more than the chance to earn food oy the labor of their hands, and yet. can find no job.” “The tri ,h that I see with the utmost clearness is this: It, is high time for the people to look next winter squarely in the face and begin to get ready for it. . . . For with reserves exhausted, credit gone, possessions sold, and the margin of safety generally evaporated for millions of people, we can not escape the paradoxical fact that if the coming winter is as bad as the last one. it. *7ill be infinitely worse. "Private charity must be made to carry all it can. In addition to the millions already spent, the people of Pennsylvania are preparing through their local organizations to raise every possible cent from private resources. “It will be no easy task, for the owners of gr:at. fortunes have not yet. fully come to understand that the penalty for letting people go hungry next winter will apply not only to those who starve, but also to those who let them starve. Sees Himself Denounced “The goddess of these gentlemen is Pollyanna and their slogan: ‘Prosperity is just around the corner.’ But since their twitterings began we have rounded so many corners without finding the promised prosperity, that even these muezzins in their rose-tinted minarets have begun to doubt their own infallibility.” His address, Pinchot said, undoubtedly would be condemned, denounced or ridiculed as a bid for the Republican presidental nomination. "It Is nothing of the sort." he declared. “This nation has come to a pretty pass if a man can not say ’ahat needs to be said in the public interest without being charged with faiiUcal intention. ’

Mitchell announced that neither the judge nor the two prosecutors in the case had recommended clemency and, under the rule, it was not required to submit the matter to President Hoover. He said this amounted to a denial of the application for executive clemency. The petition for executive clemency did not come from Fall, but was signed by the two senators from New Mexico, members of the legislature, and other political leaders and prominent citizens. Mitchell acted upon a report from Pardon Attorney James A.

Plan Practical, He Says; Rests for Hazardous Hop to Siberia. By United Press NOME, Alaska, Aug. 13.—Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh believes the vacation tour which took him and his wife to the rim of the Arctic cap has proved that regular airlines can be made practical in the northland. While awaiting clearer weather to take off on a dangerous 1,067-mile flight across the Bering sea to Karaginski, Siberia, Lindbergh enthusiastically told Nome business men of the possibilties for air travel in the Arctic. “There is no reason,” he said, “why regular airlines can not be operated in the near future. We have found flying here not as difficult as had been believed. The country needs scheduled plane service.” As he had done at Point Barrow for the Eskimos, Lindbergh pictured here for the business men the advantages to be derived by the northland from airlines to the outside world. Colonel and Mrs. Lindbergh spent Wednesday resting and talking with residents who crowded about for a glimpse of or a word with them.

‘BIG BUSINESS' WAR HINTED IN GAS HEARING Clash Between Powerful Interests Seen in Move to Supply City. MAJOR FIRMS IN FIELD Race for ‘Plum’ Revealed With Columbia, Kentucky Concerns as Rivals. BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY The curtain was raised just a wee bit at the natural gas hearing today on the conflict of big business, which provides the real drama behind the scenes and in which Indianapolis is to be the battleground. An engineer testified that the Citizens Gas Company is unprepared to use natural gas in Its present pipe lines. The Citizens company attorney inquired if the engineer knew that the Columbia Gas Company had made plans to use the Citizens service pipes if tt entered Indianapolis from the north. H. H. Walker, engineer for the Kentucky Natural Gas Company, promoter of the petition under discussion, said he had heard Columbia had plans to enter the field here. Clash of Big Interests This is the first bit of evidence to what many persons declare is the real plot of the piece, the conflict between Frank P. Parrish. New York, owner of the Kentucky gas field, and the Columbia company, representative of the bog power interests. Columbia, is said to have been alloted Indianapolis and the central Indiana territory, with Insull taking the northern part with lines he is promoting in co-operation with Standard oil. How big and how crafty big business can be disclosed when it w■aslearned today that Wall Street knew of Commissioner Harry K. Cuttfberfcson's plan to throw out the natural gas petition on jurisdictional grounds before the hearing got undar way Wednesday. Cuthbertson Builds Up Case Cuthbertson, presiding over the hearing before the public service commission in the house of representatives. sprang the jurisdictional question at the opening session and proceeded to build evidence to support his position, after repeating it today. Acting as advocate for his own point, the commissioner cross-ex-amined Walker in an effort to show that the petitioners, Manufacturers’ Natural Gas Corporation, Inc., intend to give a distinctive class service to manufacturers and can not be declared a public utility. Cuthbertson said he is of the opinion that, a ‘‘public utility” must serve all citizens before it can be declared such. Jurisdiction Is Doubted “I am not convinced that the commission has any jurisdiction in this case.” he declared, as the hearing got under way this morning. Walker spent the morning on the stand telling of the plans of the (Turn to Page 1, Second Section)

FIRE TRAP STAMP PUT ON INFIRMARY

Alfred E. Hogston, state fire marshal, today refused to approve plans of Marion county commissioners to erect a temporary building at the infirmary, and sent a letter to the commsisioners saying the w'hole institution should be tom down as a fire hazard. Reason for rejecting the plans is because the new structure is to be built alongside a building condemned as a fire hazard for five years, Hogston declared. Haring sent three inspectors to the institution this week, he outlined a list of improvements to be made at once and then closed his letter to commissioners with this paragraph: Buildings Antiquated “As I see it, these buildings are so antiquated and fundamentally improper and hazardous for the housing of old, decrepit and frequently sick and helpless people that their occupancy can, at best, be excused only on the ground that they are merely temporary quarters.” The new building w’as planned to be used for men inmates. Hogston’s letter points o"lit that the inspection was made by Cash M. Graham, chief inspector; Harry N. Styner, Dz* ’ W. Moore and J. S. Hedges.

TORCH KILLER CAUGHT, SAYS PROSECUTOR Murder Gun Found: Former Convict Is Grilled in Michigan Crime. THIRD BROTHER SOUGHT Shabby Stranger Seen With Youths in Restaurant Also Suspected. By United Free* YPSILANTI, Mieh, Aug. 13 “We have the man,” Prosecutor Harry S. Toy of Wayne county declared today in a recess in grilling of a suspect in the torch murders Tuesday morning of two youthful couples near Willis, Mich. “He admits having the gun Monday night and on several previous occasions.” Toy added. “I can't saymore at present.” It was learned the man is a former inmate of a Michigan prison, who gave the alias of Herbert Smith, said to be a former neighbor of Harry Lore, 16. of Ypsilanti, who was shot to death. Thomas Wheatley, 17. his chum, of Denton. Mich., and Vivian Gold, 15. and Anna May Harrison 16. both of Cleveland, were beaten to death and their bodies burned in Wheatley’s automobile on a lonely road near here. Seek Third Brother Smith and his Negro landlord are being grilled. Meanwhile, search was pressed for Jackson Keene, brother of Paul and Lawrence Keene, reputed moonshiners, who were found washing blood-stained clothing at their “house on wheels” near the murder scene soon after discovery of the smoldering funeral pyre. The death weapon, a rusty .38caliber Iver Johnson, was turned over to Wayne county prosecutors by Police Chief Ralph L. Southard of Ypsilanti. A check by Lieutenant Earl O. Stevens, ballistic expert of the Detroit police, showed it to be the gun which fired the fatal bullets. The rusty pistol had been fired recently. Stevens said, and scorings on its test projectiles corresponded with loose taken from the body of Lore. Another Suspect Hunted With finding of the pistol, and the laboriously scrawled note a Negress handed to Ypsilanti police purporting to bear the names of the slayers, Investigators concentrated search for still another man, and possible accomplices in one of Michigan's most appalling murder mysteries. Two witnesses thus far have testified the four youngsters were accompanied by a fifth person—a shabbily dressed, stockily built man in sweater and cap—when they ate sandwiches in a Milan (Mich.) case at 2:30 a. m. Tuesday—less than three hours before the flaming pyre of their automobile shocked residents into realization of the tragedy. Detailed description of the man was furnished by Norman England, 19-year-old night waiter in the case. Deputy Sheriff Thomas Goodridge, on night patrol in Milan, established that the stranger did not enter the case with the youthful quartet. Boy Appeared Drunk Goodridge saw the four enter the case, Lore appearing drunk, he said He watched to see whether the driver of the car was in similar condition, planning to detain them, but the condition of the other members of the party was satisfactory, he said. England, who was out of the dining room when the four entered, said the shabby man was seated with them when he came into the room and that the stranger paid the sl.lO check. A room at the left of the dining room had been lighted in his absence, he said, indicating someone familiar with the place had been present. Meanwhile, Paul and Lawrence Keene, brothers,, still were held. They were arrested when they were found scraping red stains off a club. The victims’ bodies showed evidence of having been clubbed before they were drenched in gasoline and set afire. Lore, however, was shot to death first. Purse Is Found Another clew was obtained when a traveling salesman found a bloodstained purse on the road six miles from the automobile pyre. Mrs. Rudolph Gold identified it as having belonged to her daughter. Authorities said apparently a long automobile chase preceded the murders. Wheatley’s automobile skidded before stopping, and other marks on the road indicated it had been forced off the road by another car. State officials took over the investigation Wednesday on express orders of Governor Wilber M. Brucker, after Wayne and Washtenaw counties became engaged tn a squabble over jurisdiction. Brucker ordered Attorney-General Paul W. Voorhies to take complete charge. Scouts to “Rule” City By Times Special ANDERSON.
