EAGLES OUTLINE NEW DRIVE TO CREATEJENSION Order to Urge Congress to Form Job Stabilizing Commission. Campaign for enactment of an old age pension law for Indiana, more Intensive than any yet conducted since the movement was started a/ decade ago, was outlined at a meeting of state officers of the Indiana aerie, Fraternal Order of Eagles, and other leaders, held Sunday afternoon in the home of Indianapolis aerie, 43 West Vermont street, with the local president, Robert G. Amick, and other officers as hosts. It was also decided that the order will urge Indiana's two senators and thirteen representatives in congress to urge enactment of the BlaineLudlow bill, which incorporates the principles of a resolution adopted at the 1930 Indiana Eagles convention held in Anderson, urging creation of a federal commisison for the stabilization of employment. - The two public welfare proposals of the order were discussed by Otto P. Deluse of Indianapolis employment committee and chairman of the Indiana old age pension commisison. "The principle enunciated at Anderson in 1930. "That it is the right of every adult American to work continuously at a saving wage,’ ” Deluse declared, "is anew Declaration of Independence and if enacted into law by congress, will save America from recurrent periods of depression when hundreds of thousands of men, women and children are reduced to want through ho fault of their own.” Z ‘‘ A proposal to house the overflow from the Marion county poorhouse in cow barns at the state fairground is an example of what happens to the unfortunate in states without old age pension laws,” Deluse said, pointing out that seventeen states now have such laws. * The meeting was called by Clarence G. Ryan, Evansville, state president of the order. Other leaders attending included five past state presidents, Albert G. Dahn, Columbus; Joseph W. Humbert, Kokomo; James O. Crim, Newcastle; ■William A. Stoehr, Connersville, and Mayor John B. Hudson, Lafayette; Raymond Journey, Portland, vice-president; Charles Stewart, Kokomo, chaplin; Arthur M. Follis, Wabash, conductor; Wilbur H.

FIRE RESCUE IS SHOWNjN FILM Students Risk Necks in Newsreel Feature. Students at Oregon State college, at Corvallis, Ore., risking their necks for room-and-board, is one of the thrilling stories in this issue of The Indianapolis Times, exhibited at leading local theaters.
