STRIVE TO GET SURPLUS WHEAT TO AID NEEDY Farm Board, However, Turns Down Ludlow’s Salvation Army Move. Removal of obstacles blocking a plan of the Salvation Army to feed destitute Indiana families with a portion of the federal farm board's wheat surplus was sought by Representative Louis Ludlow of this district today. The Salvation Army has asked contribution of three car-loads of wheat, to be milled into flour by an Indianapolis milling concern, and distributed to the army’s forty-two bases in the state by United States army lorries from Ft. Benjamin Harrison. The Salvation Army, in as many Instances as possible, also would arrange for baking the flour into bread, to be given away, or sold to consumers at a penny a loaf. The plan would not provide competition inasmuch as beneficiaries otherwise W'ould buy no wheat, Ludlow contended. Ludlow sought the contribution of the wheat from the federal board, but was informed by Chairman James C. Stone that the marketing act is not a relief measure, and that the board could not donate the grain although it “can play an important role in meeting the crisis which we are now facing by arranging to make the stocks held by stabilizing corporations as accessible as possible to units of government and relief agencies.” Ludlow today wrote Stone, asking for specific information on how a portion of the wheat could be made accessible to the Indiana division of the Salvation Army. Forbidden to Donate /*;/ T nitrd Prrss WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.—Federal farm bureau officals said today the board was forbidden by law to give away wheat, as requested by Representative Louis Ludlow and the Salvation Army in Indiana. Furthermore, It was explained, the board will not give the surplus grain away because of the contention it would have the effect of cutrate competition. It was added, however, that the board gladly will sell wheat to the Salvation Army, Red Cross or other charitable organizations for distribution to needy. James Stone, farm board chairman, said he would write Ludlow explaining how the Salvation Army of Indiana can obtain the wheat.

UPHOLDS DRY RAID WITHOUT WARRANT

How Chilling! By United Press WASHINGTON, Sept. 15. Bankers fr'bm all parts of the country who gathered about the White House table with President Hoover Monday night widened their eyes in amazement when waiters appeared bearing bottles carefully wrapped in chilled towels.

Cameron Convicts Negro on Visible Evidence of Crime. Tables of justice turned speedily in municipal dourt today. Judge Clifton R. Cameron held police officers have a right to enter a house and make arrests tvhen they have visible evidence of a crime’s commission. Asa result, Bucco Parham, Negro, 623 Superior street, will serve thirty days and pay SIOO fine and costs for operating a blind tiger. Charge of drunkenness against Thomas O'Brien, attorney, 1222 North Pennsylvania street, was continued until Saturday.

During his testimony, Parham told the court he never had been arrested for liquor law violation. “You’ve never been arrested any time.” Lawrence Shaw, his attorney asked. “No, but I served a term for murder once,” Parham answered.

PRAISES MARRIAGE PLAN UNDER SOVIET

Workers to Hear Lecture by Teacher Who Toured Russia. Some American women's system of acquiring a string of ex-husbands to gain a soft living through collection of alimony plays no part in the ambitions of Russian women under Soviet rule.

Miss Beidel, who recently returned from a tour of Russia, will expound her views on the Soviet tonight in a lecture at Workers 1 Center, 932 Vi South Meridian street.

ADVANCES U. S. WAR DEBT PLAN Germany Is Told Bankers Favor Cancellation. BY FREDERICK KUH United Press Staff Correspondent GENEVA, Sept. 15.—The convic-’j tion that the United States is ready I to ease and ultimately cancel war debts and reparations as part of international action to prevent war was expressed to German Foreign Minister Dr. Julius Curtius by Nor- | man Davis, it was understood here; today. Davis, first American member of j the League of Nations financial j committee and internationally 1 known expert, conferred with Cur- I tius Monday night. He expressed | his views on international debts j as an integral part of a scheme to | outlaw war and restore interna- 1 tional confidence. It was understood that Davis fa- j vored furthering of the Hoover debt moratorium plan oefore congress ; convenes in December, if possible, j Although Davis belohgS to the] finance committee in the capacity of a private expert, it is known that his views laregly represent those of United States bankers. The German delegation, therefore, attached great importance to his exchange of ideas with Dr. Curtius. GAS BOARD CHOSEN Subcommittee Is Selected by Sullivan. Personnel of a committee to study’ problems incident to introduction of j natural gas here and report its find- ] ings to Mayor Reginald H. Sulli- : van's special gas committee has been announced by Sullivan. The subcommitte is composed of Henry L. Dithmer, chairman; William J. Mooney, Thomas C. Howe, Brodehurst Elsey, James I. Dissette and G. A. Efroymson. The mayor was asked to name the subcommittee following a meeting of the larger committee a week ago when it was decided to make a thorough study of costs, methods of manufacture, adaptability to needs of general consumers and other questions before going ahead with plans to receive bids for sale of natural gas to the Citizens Gas Company. The city has taken a stand opposing granting plea of manufacturers for permission to lay natural gas mains to their plants, holding that natural gas, if used here, should be distributed through mains of the Citizens company.

sibility of providing for their children, she stated. “Easier marriage, in connection with easier divorce, has not corrupted morals. It is impossible for Russian men and women to marry for material advantages since property possession is equal. Therefore marriage for power or for fortune is out of the question.” Morals, she pointed out, are placed on a different plane because of different veiwpoint. In Russia such books and movies as in America that pound sex constantly into public consciousness are not permitted. “Home life is more perfect than in the old Russian regime. Though both the husband and wife may w 7 ork all day, they are free to be with their children in the evenings and on holidays. “Because of faith in their government’s obligation to care for their children’s futures in day nurseries, schools and trade training, the parents are less worried and more free to enjoy their family liffe.”

Increased in the past year, although they are below the figure of two years ago. The council convened Monday and continued Its deliberations today. Sessions were private. It is one of the most important organizations of the church, because it administers all the business of the church during the three years which elapse between conventions. Three men were mentioned prominently today for the office of presiding bishop, to be selected late this week. The Rt. Rev. James De Wolf Perfc\ D. D., of Rhode Island, the present presiding bishop, generally was expected to succeed himself in office. Others mentioned as possibilities are the Rt. Rev. Ernest M. Stires, D. D., of Long Island, and the Rt. Rev. James E. Freeman, D. D., of Washington, D. C. VENUE CHANGE GRANTED Change of venue in the impeachment case filed by James Holland against Coroner Fred W. Vehling was granted today by Circuit Judge Harry O. Chamberlin. Selection of the county for trial of the case will be announced later. Holland demands removal of Vehling for alleged illegal practices and improper office operation.

BLOW BELIEVED DEALT HOOSIER HOT CAR RING Six Are Pinched and Held as Suspects in Car Theft Racket. Charged with operating an alleged state-wide auto theft ring, with headquarters in Indianapolis and near Bloomington, six men, including two from this city, face car stealing charges today. Rex Gray, 2136 Conrad avenue, owner of an auto paint shop at 929 River avenue, was nabbed Monday afternoon at the shop by Deputy Sheriff Sam Young on direction of Monroe county authorities.

diana and took them to Gray’i shop, where they were repainted. Under their new disguise, the cars were taken to a Monroe county farm, where motor numbers were changed, it is alleged. In some instances, police charge, bodies and motors were changed in efforts to block attempts of identification of alleged stolen cars. State policeman Ray Hinkle of Bloomington told Indianapolis officers motors and auto bodies were found in a ravine near the Monroe county farm, and a bam had been turned into a workshop. Indications today were that Gray had made a statement to state officers before being taken to Bloomington. Officers said they believed the alleged ring may have interstate ramifications. Those under arrest in Bloomington are Roy Poore, Darrel Dobbs, Mansford Saiters and his son Andrew. Uncle Sam is receiving 500 applications a day for federal Jobs.
