CHILDREN MAKE SILENT PLEA TO HALT ACCIDENTS Sixty Thousand of Them Free; They Want' to Live. Sixty thousand children of grade and high school age today looked to Marion county motorists to leave their ranks unsullied by death this summer. In addition, several thousand pupils of county rural schools had the same silent plea for protection on suburban roads. The warning against improper driving on city streets and county highways comes as police are waging a battle against speeders, drivers who fail to stop at preferential streets and other autoists whose infractions of the law result in injury and death and comprise the multitude of traffic sins in Marion county. Make Streets Unsafe Each one of the breaks in the traffic code by a motorist has the potentiality of making that driver a killer. And each death makes streets more unsafe for you and members of your families. Police and county authorities joined today in the demand for safety. Chief Mike Morrissey and Captain Lewis Johnson of the city traffic squad, pointed to the numerous recent arrests in their efforts to halt, traffic law violations. “It is impossible for us to be every place in the city, “they said. "We must appeal to the people of Indianapolis, whether autoists or pedestrians, to use care. It does no good to be sorry after the damage is done. Prevention is the only cure for the traffic evil in Indianapolis.” Forty-five persons have lost their lives in traffic accidents in Marion county since Jan. 1. Children Now Free If every motorist and pedestrian had followed and would observe, the regulations of safety this total would not exist. Since last September the children, from 6 to 16, have been under surveillance of teachers majority of the day. Today is their first day of freedom unhampered by school hours. During the first week or two of vacation they will run across streets while at play or to join companions. Such action is childlike. But to the adult driving the car, childish actions are no excuse. It’s lip to Driver It is up to the driver to have his car in such mechanical condition and himself prepared for any emergency so no accident will occur. The Times joins city and county authorities in their attempts to suppress tragedy on the thoroughfares. The Times expects every man, wo - an and child of the county to aid, not the authorities, but by being CAREFUL themselves. That will solve the problem. DR.

HIT POLITICS IN STATE POOR AID ] Doctors Assail Indiana’s Relief System. Political methods of handling medical poor relief are condemned by the doctors’ committee of the state relief organization which has reported to Governor Hary G. Leslie. The report was based on information obtained from questionnaires to township trustees and contained the following recommendations: 1. In nlace of the present system which is in vogue in many localities where the township trustee employs the physician who makes the lowest bid, irrespective of his ability, the trustee should draw up a contract with the profession as a unit and not with one doctor. 2. An entirely new basis for services should be established between the doctors and the township trustees in relation to the care of the indieent sick which will assure adeauate protection of the patient and will be eauitable to the doctor. 3. Detailed records of medical service rendered should be kept in each case, one copy to be a permanent record in the office of the trustee and one filed with the county auditor. * 4. Simply because the patient is poor he should not be deprived of his right to choose, wherever possible, his own physician. who should be paid an adeauate fee for his services. 5. Centralization of relief aeencies with supervision and knowledee of each individual case bv township trustee is recommended as a protection to taxpayers and to prevent the duplication of relief work which acnerallv exists under the present system. Committeemen making the report were Doctors William H. Kennedy, Indianapolis, chairman; F. S. Crockett, Lafayette; O. O. Alexander, Terre Haute; G. D. Scott, Sullivan; E. M. Shanklin. Hammond, and G. J. Geisler, South Bend. RICH PAIR END LIVES Millionaire Toy Maker Follows His Best Friend in Death. By L nited Prats PASADENA, Cal., June 13.

MAYR ‘ABRUPT’ ON . SPEED RUN QUERY

Tells Insurance Man His Office Did Not 0. K. Baker Race. Inquiry of an Indianapolis insurance man concerning state police jurisdiction to block speed trials on state roads and halt endangering of lives, has been answered curtly by Frank Mayr Jr., secretary of state. Warren S. Gibson wrote Mayr after Cannonball Baker averaged seventy and one-half miles an hour on the speed run from French Lick to Indianapolis, May 25. Included in his letter was the statement that the state highways are traveled by thousands annually and the query: "Suppose you and your family had met this menace on one of the turns?” “Does your office give this speed fiend a license to do this thing?” the letter continued. “Where were all the state police at the time this dangerous driving was going on? Does my license permit me to endanger the lives of persons on the state highways?” Mayr, in his answer, said that his office had no knowledge of the speed run, and ’’does not,” or could not, issue a license for such a ridiculous undertaking.” Another paragraph completed the letter and, in it, Mayr snapped his answer to the other queries. The answer: "With reference to the question, ‘Where were all the police at this time?’ will say that the chart in our station will give you the exact location of every one, if you care to take the time to examine it.”

For he is "sitting pretty.” Wage cuts, five-day weeks, enforced leaves of absence and even thoughts of having to look for anew job don’t grip him with fear. Even if things come to the worst and he has to hunt for work, he knows that he has time to turn around. He can still keep on paying rent and supporting his family. * * For he has saved —just as you can save.

Out of ‘Hell’ Bodies of Hawaiian Lover, Girl Taken From Volcano Pit.

By United Press HILO, T. H„ June 13.—The fiery pit of Mt. Halemaumau was freed today of the bodies of a native lover and the girl who refused his suit. R. Konishi, a Hilo contractor, was richer by SI,OOO for his dangerous trip into the smoking pit to recover the two bodies from a ledge, fome 800 feet down. The contractor, a Japanese, had himself lowered into the crater of the volcano in a steel cage. The bodies of Sylvester Nunes and Margaret Enos, lay* where they had fallen, in plain view from the rim of the crater. It took four hours for the Japanese to be lowered into the volcano, accomplish his grim task of recovering the bodies, and be drawn again in the steel box to the rim. He said he suffered no discomfort from the heat, nor from the deadly sulphur fumes from the molten lava only a short distance beneath. Nunes leaped into the volcano with the body ot the girl a week ago.

HITS 'MOD RULE' OONUSTACTICS Legion Chief in Favor of Legitimate Pleas. Efforts of the American Legion and other ex-service organizations to obtain bonus payments should be confined to legitimate channels and not permitted to sink to levels of "mob rule,” Ralph Gates of Columbia City, Legion department commander, stated in his address Sunday at the Antlers at the annual convention of Twelfth district posts. "The American Legion stands in favor of the bonus as long as it will not mean that our disabled comrades suffer through lack of care,” he said. "We carried the flag once and we will carry it again, is necessary, to be certain that there will be no mob rule in accomplishing veterans’ legislation.” John W. Hano, Twelfth district commander, presided at the business session, introducing Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan.

RED LEADER IS LIKELY TO TAKE REM CHILE Hidalgo, Communist Slated to Succeed Davila as Government Head. By United Press SANTIAGO, Chile, June 13. Senator Manuel Hidalgo, Communist leader, whose policies are modeled on those of Soviet Russia, was considered a likely successor today to Carlos Davila, who resigned suddenly as the head of Chile’s new Socialist regime. The upset in the new administration was not entirely unexpected, as it was reported that members of the Junta administration disagreed on several important questions. Troops were confined to barracks, but the country was reported quiet. Davila said his resignation was due to disagreement with one member of the Junta. It was understood that there had been a demand for a military form of government to take charge of the

General Marmaduke Grove, called by many of his supporters the “soul of the revolution," issued a communique in his capacity as minister of defense, denying that the military had sought an increase in powers in the new regime. Senator Hidalgo was defeated for the presidency in the October, 1931, elections. He is 49, a former factory worker, and self educated.
