DEPRESSION IS HEALTH PERIL, SAYS DR. KING 1 1 Malnutrition Is Making Children Epidemics’ Prey, Is View. Danger of malnutrition, which will handicap children for life, making them easy prey for piriemics, looms ominously in Indiana due to the depression, it was declared today by Dr. William F. King, director of the state health department. Dr. King cited the fallacy of curtailing public health measures in a program of false taxation economy. Such economy will mean greater expenditures in caring for the victims of epidemics in the future, he pointed out. A deluge of letters showing the pitiable plight of children suffering from lack of proper food at home, coupled with the anxiety of parental unemployment, has reached Dr. King. Diet Is Not Balanced ‘ Many children can not go home at lunch time and, as money is scarce, they exist on hot dogs and pop," reads the report sent Dr. King from a high school superintendent. A school physician writes: “In many families where necessary throat and dental work for older children has been had three or four years ago, the younger children, though in urgent need of corrective work, are not having it done,; the parents saying they can not afford it.” Another doctor in a roal mining section, where the farming part of ihe community suffered greatly from the drought, said: Menace to the Future “My contact with a great many j pre-school children compels me to ■ believe that many are not getting j milk or a well-balanced diet. Many j of them are not sick enough to j cause alarm, so that a doctor is not called to see them, but I fear the condition will tell on them in the future.” "If it be true that we arc just entering the period wfherein the effects of malnutrition in children, of lack of proper food, of mental distress and despair in adults, are beginning to be manifest,” said Dr. King, “then we may expect a weakened national vitality that inevitably will be reflected in increased, morbidity and mortality for years to come.” Predicts Sick Rate Rise Although statistics showed an improved public health in Indiana in 1931, as compared with 1930, he stressed the importance of not being overoptimistic. “It must not be assumed that hard times and good health go hand in hand," Dr. King, declared. “They never have in the past and they will not now. “How long unemployment, with Its specter of hunger, malnutrition, lowered resistance, and broken morale can continue without causing an appreciable rise in the sickness and death rate, no one can say.” FALL OIL LEASES ARE CANCELLED BY COURT Rehearing Is Denied on Contracts Which Caused Harding Scandal. By United Press SAN FRANCISCO, March 15. The Elk Hills naval oil reserve leases, which started the government scandal in the Harding administration, stood canceled today by decision of the federal circuit court of appeals.

Doheny, multi-millionaire Los Angeles operator. FLIES TO SON'S BURIAL Aged Man Comes From New Mexico to Crawfordsville in Plane. By Times Special CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind.. March 15.-0. B.

Ogden Tells Masons Their Own Principles, Those of Washington Best. By Times Special GARY, ind., March 15.—Brotherly love, such as taught by Masonry and practiced by George Washington could solve the problems of the world today, Attorney-General James M. Ogden told Masons in an address Monday night. Subject of the address was “Washington, the Mason.” “What our nation needs more than anything else today is that type of American citizen who knows and respects his obligations to his fellows as taught by Masonry,” Ogden asserted. “The type that has brotherly concern for the welfare of others as well as of himself. This was the guiding principle of the life of Washington. He was big enough to look beyond his self interests and see the things that were best for his fellow citizens. That one virtue accounted for his success more than any other. “If this could be the guiding principle among men today, war would be abolished and we would at least have peace on earth. If it could be the guiding principle when men assemble to discuss the very important and troublesome question of taxation, the problem could very speedily be solved. “If both utilities and consumers respected their obligations to each other, there would be no fighting over utility rates. “If the criminal and racketeer could be brought to see that they have obligations for the safety and welfare of the law-abiding in the community, we would have law and order in every community.” DRESS HIDES SAVINGS $6,100 Found in Clothing of Aged Woman In Boston Hospital.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

RE-ELECTION OF HINDENBURG IS DEEMED SURE Lack of Agreement Between Fascists and National Party Aids President. By United Press BERLIN, March 15—A decisive victory for President Paul von Hindenburg over Adolf Hitler in the run-off presidential election April 10 appeared certain today, due to I lack of co-operation between Na- | tionalists and Fascists forming the national opposition. The 84-year-old field marshal defeated Hitler, dapper Fascist leader, by more than 7,300,000 votes in Sunday’s election, but fell short of j an absolute majority over the four candidates opposing him. Govern- j ment leaders were sure of victory and even Dr. Alfred Hugenberg’s Nationalists admitted the “certain- j ty” of Hindenburg's continuing in office. There appeared to be no chance of Nationalists and Fascists uniting to support ex-Crown Prince Frederick Wilhelm as a joint presidential candidate. Hitler announced that he would lead the second fight j personally. Tries to Maks Trade Dr. Hugenberg supported Hindenburg's candidacy by announcing j that the Nationalists would support j an amendment to the Constitution ! declaring the president re-elected without a second vote, provided the Prussian, Bavarian and Wuerttemberg diets be dissolved for new elections. The government did not consider the proposal. The national opposition hoped to increase its power through a Prussian diet election and j win control of the Prussian police force, Germany’s most powerful j military unit. The government’s confidence that the Fascist threat had been broken was seen in the announcement that I the run-off election would be fol- | lowed by election of anew Prussian diet on April 24. Rebuff to Hugenberg This was a direct rebuff to Dr. ; Hugenberg, as it showed that the | government was going ahead with i its own plans and ignoring his proposal for a political trade. It also demonstrated that the government had no fear that the Fascists might win control of the Prussian police. Communists were expected to obstain from voting, as they are bitterly opposed to both the president and Hitler. U. S. FUNDS MAY AID INDIANA CLOSED BANKS Federal Money for Liquidation May Be Provided. Announcement of Charles G. Dawes that the Reconstruction Finance Corporation is “ready and willing to make loans to closed ! banks on pledged assets” was viewed i today as a hopeful sign for speeding liquidation in Indiana by Luther F. Symons, state banking sioner. “So far as I know there hasn’t been any of this federal board’s funds used for liquidation,” Symons said. “But if it is available there are many banks in this state now being liquidated which could well take advantage of it.” Symons estimated that there are at least fifty closed banks throughout Indiana that have assets meeting the reconstruction board’s requirements. He refused to state how many of this number are located in Indianapolis. He also pointed out that these assets can be pledged only “when and if the funds are available through the Indiana committee,” which was. appointed to handle deals in this state.
