(Coovrieht. 1932. bv United Press) ‘ROCHESTER, Mint* Aug. 6. Cancellation of European war debts should take place only on a program ‘'broad enough to give reasonable assurance of economic recovery,” Senator William E. Borah, chairman of the senate foreign relations committee, said today. The Idaho senator, who is here visiting Dr. William Mayo, replied thus to a dispatch from Paris that France may ask for debt reductions from the United States in exchange for a most-favored-nation commercicil treaty. Senator Borah said the problem of war debts is much broader and deeper than simply bartering a trade treaty for reduction of a few millions of dollars from a war debt.

Drastic Reorganization Is Proposed for Alabama
Plan Would Group All Branches Under Direct Control of Governor. By Scripps-Howard Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.—A state reorganization more drastic than any yet proposed has been urged upon Alabama by the Institute of Government Research of Brookings Institution here, following a survey requested by Governor B. M. Miller and the Alabama legislature. The central idea is to group all executive and administrative functions under the Governor. The Governor is to be made a state general manager, in direct charge of nineteen appointive administrative departments. The experts proposed: The only elective administrative officers would be the Governor and Lieutenant-Governor. Executive budget system, giving the Governor power to allot appropriations if incomes fall below estimates. A small, one-chamber legislature. Integration of all state courts into a single unitary court. Budget system for all counties to be prepared for them by the state department of local government; uniform county accounting. Abolition of special funds; all moneys in general fund. Abolition of special school taxing units; all school administration under the state board of education. New emergency taxing system, including income, estate and luxury excise taxes. Abolition of special boards and commissions, regrouping functions under the various executive departments.
ACCOMPLICES SOUGHT IN MICHIGAN MURDER Police Believed Man Sentenced for Life Was Aided in Killing. LUDINGTON, Mich., Aug. 6. Michigan state police were working today on the theory that Francis (Rusty) Nash, hermit trapper, had one or more accomplices in the murder of Evelyn Sanford, Freesoll girl. In the confession which resulted in his sentence of life at hard labor in Marquette prison, Nash stated that he alone attacked and stra ten the girl and removed her body unaided to the cellar where he buried her. Several circumstances cast doubt on his statement, police say. They believe that one or more youths joined Nash in attacking Evelyn; that he called on a crony to help him dispose of the body, that he gave his accomplice Evelyn’s purse and the few dollars in it to bribe him to be silence.

closed every legal path to his former wife. The bulk of the estate was willed to a nephew, Thomas Ewing Jr., who will receive about $20,000,000. A $300,000 trust fund was established for Walska by Cochran at the time of their parting in 1922, and she still will receive payment under its provisions.
Hard-y Times Hundreds Fewer Die This Year in City Than in Prosperous Days.
TJERIODS of economic depression have their advantages, as well as disadvantages, it was revealed today by perusal of health board records. In the first seven months this year, the board’s records show, there have been 362 fewer deaths in Indianapolis than occurred in the same period the preceding year. This is a decrease of more than fifty deaths a month, equal to nearly 9 per cent. The reason advanced by Dr. Herman G. Morgan, city health officer, for the decrease is more conservative living on the part of most citizens, less gastornomic excesses and a more leisurely life, due to the depression, The total number of deaths this year up tuo Aug. 1 was 2,850, compared with 3,212 for the first seven months of 1931. • Fewer deaths occurred in July, 335, than in any other month this year. Greatest number of deaths occurred in March, 485. “There is nothing new % in the situation,” Dr. Morgan said, “as history reveals that health conditions always are better in times of economic depression.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
BUSINESS AND INDUSTRIAL NEWS
COUNCIL PLAN IS ADOPTED DY TRAM WORKERS Employes Will Meet With Management on Street Railway Problems. BY J. J. BEDLOW Employes and management of the Indianapolis Railways have completed an employes’ representation plan that is expected to be helpful in the efforts of the company and its workers to give improved transportation here. The plan was drawn up by a committee of eleven representing the employes of different departments and a committee of equal numbers representing the management, and adopted by a vote of 841 to 305. Election of permanent employes’ representatives, to hold office for one year, will be held next Tuesday in the several departments. Employed members of the committee which drew up the plan were Herman Campton, McLean barn; R. Deakyne, power department; Joseph Doyle, track department; Rudolph Geisler, Louisiana barn; James Green, West Washington barn; Thomas Griffing, general office; Joseph Morsch, Highland barn; J. Merl, bus mechanics; Clyde Murphy, inspection department; Dorsey Primm, bus drivers, and William Russell, shops. The plan provides for a series of councils, one for each department, with equal representation of the employes and the management, and a general council constituted the same way. Regular meetings will be held, in which whatever pertains to the good of the men or of the company will be open to discussion. The plan provides for discussion and settlement of all working conditions, hours and' wage rates, in which agreements will be sought in th% councils, with an appeal to arbitration if that should be necessary. Comprehensive in its scope, the plan should do much to enlist the combined efforts of all connected with the system in bettering both the service and the working conditions.
Ben Hur Association in Drive for New Members
Many Given Opportunity to Win Honor in Campaign This Month. One of the main sources of growth in a fraternal life insurance organization like the Ben Hur Life Association of Crawfordsville, is assistance of its own members in securing new members. Belonging to local lodges in their own communities, where they find opportunity for social contact, they naturally want their friends to be with them. To give proper recognition to those members who thus are active in building their lodges, the Ben Hur Life Association just has announced what is to be known as “The President’s Club,” admission to which will be the highest honor open to the member. To qualify for tthe President’s club, a member will secure at least one new adult member in each of six successive months. If at the end of the six-month period all these new members still are in good standing, the one securing them, or assisting the field representative to do so, will be awarded the handsome gold emblem of the club indicative of the service rendered the society. August is a most appropriate month in which to start this club, because it is the birth month of President John C. Snyder and all over the country members and field workers are joining forces to secure an extra large amount of new life insurance and as many new members as possible. They are expecting to break rec-

Safety and Economy Is Fisk Tires’ Watchword
Franck and Son Point Out Freedom From Accident, Good Service. Many of the large commercial fleets of cars in Indianapolis use Fisk tires. According to Charles H. Franck of Charles H. Franck & Son, 543 East Washington street, distributor for Fisk tires, this is due to the safety and economy of the Fisk. He has been in business in this location for almost twenty years, and, being an observant man, has studied particular points of Fisk tires to his satisfaction. One of them is the freedom from accident, due to the design of the tire. All members so are placed in Fisk tires that the full width of the tread, even to the outermost buttressed edges, exerts a uniform pressure intensity against the road. The entire tread design of a Fisk tire grips the road r' all times. A second point, Franck believes, adds much to the superiority of this tire. It is the all cord process, in which each cord is surrounded by rubber. Reduction of internal fraction and greater strength in the carcass are accomplished by this. Width of the tread is a powerful deterrent against skidding and a great aid to traction. Strength of the carcass prevents road injury and blowouts. These are good reasons for Fisk, no doubt. But at the heart of the matter is the service Franck and his son Bill give to patrons. On the job regularly, giving close attention to details, both of the Francks are wel liked by both the commercial and passenger trade, and in either the wholesaling of Fisk tires over the counties surrounding Indianapolis or the retailing, customers receive prompt, courteous and efficient attention at all times and under all circumstances.

AUTOISTS CAVE IN REPAIRS AT DONHERR CO. Work on Cars Is Done in Well-Equipped Shop, by Capable Men. Motorists—some of them, at least —have learned economy in motor repairs in the last two years. The old idea of tearing down a car to make a certain repair, restoring it, and then driving a block away for another repair, where the same process was gone through, has proved too costly for modern conditions. When a car needs repair, the idea of sending it to a shop where all the necessary work can be made by expert mechanics does save time and money. Place Well Equipped The Don Herr Company, located at Kentucky avenue and Maryland street, has developed each department of repair work required on a car into a segregated unit of efficiency and exactness. Eqiupped with all the various gauges and testing apparatus, it has eliminated guesswork, and guarantees to any one bringing a car for repairs to turn out a better job in less time with the use of this latest type equipment. The Herr company has twenty-four-hour service and a tow-in service, so that the motorist who is in trouble at any time of the day may receive all attention he need at one stop, and be assured of expert work on each part of the job. Motorists Like Work Don Herr, owner of the service station, thinks it is far more economica to the motorist to put his car into the hands of a responsible ‘‘one-stop place” than to be fooled by a small, unreliable concern doing little jobs without proper equipment or knowledge. A great many motorists agree with him, and have their work done at his place because of the satisfaction of knowing that when the Don Herr station says a car is running right, it is.
