250,000 FACE FAMINE IN PHILADELPHIA; FOOD RIOTS ARE FEARED BY OFFICIALS Belief Fund Nearly Exhausted; $4.50 Weekly Allowance to Families May Be Cut Off. SMEDLEY BUTLER DEMANDS ACTION Commandeer Supplies and Pay Later, General Urges; Catastrophe Is Foreseen by Committee. BY ROSS DOWNING United Pres* Staff Correspondent PHILADELPHIA, April 2.—Hunger faces 250,000 Philadelphians, with the city’s relief fund of $5,000,000 virtually exhausted and food riots imminent. And 59,629 families entirely dependent upon the Lloyd unemployment committee for an average of $4.50 a week, their hare existence, will be doomed to untold suffering unless the state or other sources lend a hand.

“The impending catastrophe is too shocking to contemplate,” the Lloyd committee reported, in a recent statement. City and state officials, realizing that 250,000 persons will not sit down quietly and starve to death, believe food riots are imminent. Major-General Smedley D. Butler, campaigning for the Republican nomination for United States senator with the support of Governor Pinchot, has called upon “courageous governors” to declare martial law to prevent such riots. Would Seize Supplies “Commandeer supplies necessary to save our people,” he said, “and let the debating; societies decide later, or at their political leisure, how to pay for it.” If the supreme court, which meets April 12, passes favorably upon the Talbot bill, $2,500,000 will become available for continuance of the. work in Philadelphia. That will last until July 1. Governor Pinchot believes the bill is unconstitutional. Men and women who have studied Ihe situation believe the only possible source of relief funds is the state. To get funds from the state would require a special session of the legislature. $5,000,000 Is Allotted The amount subscribed in the united campaign was $10,000,000. ,Os this amount $5,000,000 was allotted to establish charities. The unemployment committee received and expended from Dec. 22, 1931, to March 22, 1932, the sum of $3,530,818, or approximately sl,250,000 monthly. “At this rate of expenditure,” the Lloyd committee said, “the continuance of our work is a matter of days. “The question therefore arises—what is to be done 9 ” TAXI METER REGISTERS $433 AND STILL GOING Chicagoan “Blows” Life Savings to Ride to Oregon in Style.

Russias Five-Year Plan Is Stalins Great Effort to Prove That Rule of Communism Is a Success

This i* the second of a series of two srticles shoot the tenth anniversary of Josenh Stalin's election a* senersl secretary of the Communist party. BY MILTON BRONNER . European Manager. NEA Service T ONDON, April 2.—While Russia is celebrating the tenth anniversary of Joseph Stalin’s election as general secretary of the Communist party, there is another matter vastly more interesting to people outside of the Soviet state. It can be expressed in the question, How is the five-year plan going? What has it accomplished? What does the tenth anniversary of Stalin’s accession to power mean in the development of Russia’s Communistic form of society? Where does Russia get her money? To begin, the date set for completion of the five-year plan has been moved forward to Dec. 31, 1932. That date will be only a little more than four years after the plan was begun. The shortening of the schedule is supposed to indicate that the plan has met with greater success than was expected. Asa matter of fact, however, the five-year plan never was a hard-and-fast affair. It is a misnomer and isn’t the first plan. It is and has been extremely flexible. It represented a mark to shoot at, a peg on which to hang propaganda—little more. , tt n u ' THE five-year plan represented Stalin’s great attempt to make communism work. Private trading was abolished, except for a few relatively and unimportant exceptions. The peasants were to be collectivated; that is, enormous state-operated farms, housing hundreds of workers and their families, were to take the place of the individually cultivated little farms that had existed previously. Russia was to develop her natural resources, her transportation and her manufactures so thoroughly that she could get along in complete independence of other nations of the world. That last sentence, incidentally, needs a bit of explanation. It comes from the fact that mast Russians are quite convinced that the capitalistic powers, sooner or later, will band to destroy oommunism and restore a capitalistic government in Russia. Fully half of Russia’s farmland now is being worked by collectivized farms. The kulaks, or individual peasants who will not join the colectives, have fought a spirited but losing battle. ‘ORPHAN’ SEEKS TRUE IDENTITY Visits Mother of Lost War Veteran to Solve Mystery. By United Press CHICAGO, April 2.—Joe Bond, oil station owner, journeyed to Philadelphia today to find out who he really is. David Burke of Philadelphia believes Bond is his brother Tobias, World war veteran who has been missing eleven years. Bond says as far as he can remember he is an orphan. Tobias Burke was injured !n the war and disappeared from his home in 1921. At the time he vanished he was suffering severe headaches. Recently Frank Richardson, an actor and a freind of Burke, met Bond and greeted him as Burke. The brother came here and also was convinced Bond was Burke. The oil station man left for Philadelphia to see if a visit to his supposed mother would throw any light on the situation.

ALBERT F. MEURER IS CANDIDATE FOR SENATE Tax Revision, Utility Regulation, Liquor Referendum, Platform. A three-point platform was enunciated by Albert F. Meurer, 4426 East Tenth street, former city council member, who filed today for the Republican nomination for state senator. Meurer, who is past commander of the Irvington post of the American Legion, favors tax law revision to relieve the farmer and home owner. ‘T will use every effort to help devise some more effective program of utility regulation as applied to monopolies,” he said, “and to simplify the procedure in such manner as may be required to make possible public ownership of utilities. Meurer also declared he will work for a referendum on prohibition. CROPS LOOKING BETTER Cold Wave Damage Was Not as Bad as Suspected.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

The immensity of the program to change agricultural Russia to industrial Soviet can be realized by a study of this map. At Gigant, vast state farms have been established with farmers working on a collective scale. Giant tractor factories are at Kharkov and Stalingrad. Dnieper Dam and the

MORE than 700 new factories, equipped to handle such basic industrial operations as steel, machinery and electric power, have been built and ccmipped since the plan was put intqeoperation. Two of the greatest of these factories are tremendous tractor plants at Kharkov and Stalingrad. These last year produced 16,000 tractors. Russia today, incidentially, has some 300.000 tractors in operation. At Magnitogorsk, where there is a stupendous iron deposit of more than 275,000,000 tons, the great $400,000,000 iron and steel plant is now about one-third completed. At Kuznetsk, in Siberia, where

CITE UTILITY STAND Two Governor Candidates Favor Cities’ Control. Two candidates for Governor have stated their attitude toward remedial utility legislation in answer to questionnaires sent them by the Municipal Rights League of Indiana. The replies are from M. Bert Thurman, candidate for the Republican nomination, and John Fredrick of Kokomo, candidate for the Democratic selection. “In my opinion, public service corporations are, through favor of the state, permitted to be organized for the sole purpose of rendering public utility service at reasonable profit,” declared Thurman. “They are brought into existence through the state and I know of no good reason why the state should not hold them to the purpose of their organization. I favor restoring to municipalities the power to purchase, own or construct their utilities without resorting to the public service commission for permisison to do so, and to operate them fret from public service commission control.” Fredrick also declared he believed cities should have the right to own their own utilities and that any law now in existence which would prevent this should be repealed.

DINKY IS DOOMED; BUS LINE ORDERED

Twenty-Seventh Street’s Free-Ride Trolley to Be Dropped April 10. Abandonment of the Twentyseventh street “dinky” street car is scheduled for April 10, by order of the public service commission. On that date the Indianapolis Street Railway Company will inaugurate through bus service in the territory served by the old “free ride” car line. The bus fare will be 10 cents. Commission approval also was given the Indiana Public Service Company's purchase of the four former T. H., I. & E. traction properties. The lines are those between Ihdianapolis and Lafayette, Indianapolis and Martinsville. Indianapolis and Crawfordsville, and Indianapolis and Danville. A petition of Kokomo citizens asking reduced electric rates from the Insull-owned Northern Indiana Public Service Company was dismissed when the company filed a new rate schedule with commission approval. Similar action was taken in a rate case from Walkerton in St. Joseph county. Commission approval was given

and coal has lagged a bit behind schedule; the other items are ahead of schedule. It was planned, further, to double the number of engineers in Russia and triple the number of skilled mechanics. Both classes have been vastly increased, but the totals envisaged in the fiveyear plan .have not yet been reached. It should be added, too, that the program also called for a 60 per cent increase in wages and a corresponding drop in the cost of living; neither of these goals has been met. In the main, then, the five-year plan is pretty much of a success; probably a great deal more of a success than the people who de-

FIND HIDDEN BOOZE Raiders Use Tracks in Dust to Reveal Cache. Tracks in dust on the floor of a vacant room back of a barber shop at 43 South West street, operated by Meco Angelhowich, led to his arrest today by a police squad on a blind tiger charge and revealed an alleged liquor hiding place of more than usual ingenuity. Officers said that for a time after entering the place with a warrant they were unable to find any trace of liquor, but finally noticed the tracks which led to a small window in the vacant room. Starting from the window, a rubber hose concealed within the wall was found to lead to a three-gallon copper tank concealed beneath a step of a stairway. According to the raiders, liquor could be obtained at the window by inserting an ice pick through a nail hole in the sill, which opened a faucet on the end of the hose. Seizure of two gallons of whisky was reported.

MARRYING JUSTICE LOOKING FOR BRIDE

He’s 79, but Vigorous and Rich; Cites His Requirements. By United Press EVANSTON, 111., April 2.—One of the best known marrying justices in America, with 1,600 marriages to his credit, announced today that he was looking for a bride. “No April fooling,” said Justice of Peace Samuel Harrison, whose views on matrimony have been quoted the country over. “I’m lonesome and so I’m seeking a wife.” The 79-year-old justice, genial, vigorous and inheritor of a SIOO,OOO fortune, says he’ll be interested in any nice girl, so long as she is of a happy disposition, is a good housekeeper and can live up to the following maxims which the judge includes in all ceremonies he performs. “Every day the husband must say ‘I love you’ to the wife and the wife must say to the husband ‘How strong you are, and how clever.’ “The wife must not be put on a pedestal; it's too cold up there. “Don’t open each other’s letters. “A woman’s place is in the home; so is the husband’s.” If his prospective bride can’t live

vised it ever imagined it would be. It is inevitable that it will be followed by anew five-year plan. * n m THIS new five-year plan is to be completed by 1937. It calls for 250.000,000 tons of coal, 22.000,000 tons of pig iron. 130,000.000 tons of wheat and 100,000.000,000 kilowatt hours of electricity. Other phases of the plan have been sketched only roughly by Soviet leaders and will be made known before the end of the year. The current five-year plan has resulted in the Soviet spending $32,000,000,000 on its industrial program. The question arises if a poor nation like Russia can spend that much money on improvements, without going bankrupt, why can’t a nation as rich as the United States spend a greater amount without seriously affecting its financial structure? Another question the five-year plan has brought up is how the Russians financed the industrial development? Among its methods of finance are the Russian internal bonds. They are sold in much the same way as the Liberty bonds were sold during the World war. Their purchase is almost obligatory. If the Russian prefers an inter-est-bearing bond, he usually is paid 7 per cent. But if he prefers, he can carry a lottery bond and gamble on the return. u Theoretically, the Russian, with enough 7 per cent bonds, could live on the interest. But In so doing he might label himself a capitalist and exile or execution would follow. Credit to the country is placed at $500,000,000, while $10,000,000 is represented as foreign capital now working Russian concessions. Inflation has not been primarily the state’s treasure box. To prove this, paper money was issued in denominations of one, three, five and ten and occasionally twenty rubles, but not in denominations of a thousand or a million. Some have said the natural resources are her capital, but it takes time to liquidate such. To liquidate them the soviet has established an iron belt around her consumers. Often she takes what she thinks she can sell, and pays a nominal price for it with her own currency, thus giving her gold. Cash must be gotten and the belt around internal Russia is tied tighter whenever the Soviet state needs cash. And it is this iron ring that is paying for the ; five-year plan, which is gradually nearing completion ahead of time. THE END.

SPECIAL BALLOT DUE ON VESTAL Leslie to Call Election to Name Successor. Special election will be called by Governor Harry G. Leslie to choose a successor to Albert H. Vestal, Republican, representative in congress from the old Eighth Indiana district, who died in Washington, Friday. James M. Ogden, attorney-gener-al, and Fred C. Gause, Republican member of the state board of election commissioners, have stated informally that the election will be open to voters of the counties which comprised the old Eighth district, but there is a difference of opinion among other persons as to the locale of the election due to changes in congressional districts made by an act of the 1931 state legislature. WOMAN’S LIFE SAVINGS STOLEN BY ‘REPAIR MEN’ $125 in Cash, $2,000 in Securities, Loot of Two Imposters.

up to all that, the judge is willing to make allowances because another of his maxims says: “A bad marriage is better than none at all.” INDIAN FIGHTER DIES General Godfrey.
