FRANTIC HUNT IS BEGUN FOR NEW REVENUE State Bankruptcy Is Seen in Passage of Tax Limitation Law. (Continued from Page One) that had enough sense to stop when it should?" White retorted. Senators Lindley and Jesse M. Ballard <Dem., Marion, were appointed to confer with the house committee on senate amendments to the budget bill. The senate passed the Holmes “slum clearance* bill and defeated an effort of Senator Ketchum to transform a bill on second reading into a repeal of the $1.50 limitation law. Efforts to recall the $1.50 measure from the office of Governor Harry G. Leslie Monday afternoon were thwarted by Bush, Hartzell and Rowley. Repeal Bill Expected House Democrats are anticipating introduction of a bill which will repeal the $1.50 law before the session closes. Bush, however, wants Leslie to extend the time of the session beyond next Monday, so that new means of raising revenues can be found. Leslie is in Methodist hospital, undergoing treatment for old injuries received in the 1904 Purdue football train wredc. He was ordered there Monday afternoon by his physician, Dr. Edgar D. Clark. Before leaving Leslie announced he would not sign the SLSO bill, previously having warned the legislators that “government chaos" would result from its passage.

Girl Scribbles Song on Menu Card, Gets SI,OOO

Melody Scores Big Hit and Chicago Writer Starts on !• Fortune Road. j By Timet Special NEW YORK. Aug. 9.—Bernice Petkere, a young woman from Chi- | cago, was sitting at a table in a j very loud night club one morning about six months ago. and she got tired of the music. It left her cold. 1 So she borrowed a pencil from her husband and wrote a song on the clean side of the menu. Then she hummed a tune to go with the words. ■ She called the song “Starlight." ; It was the first song she had ever written. Her husband thought it i sounded pretty good, nothing extra, i but better than the music in the night club. Gets SI,OOO Check That afternoon she took the song around to Santly Brothers, the music publishers, and when they heard it one of the brothers wrote her out an advance check of SI,OOO. The song became a hit. For two weeks it was played more often on | radio programs than any other popular song ever written. The two major broadcasting companies were forced to restrict the number of times it could be played in their stations. The young woman was bewildered. Bo she wrote two more songs, called them "By a Rippling Stream’’ and “Lullaby of the Leaves.” They became hits. The young woman decided to go into song writing in a big way. Sells Some More She wrote three more songs. And today Irving Berlin called her “the most talented song writer of the present era.” “I’ve been playing the piano all my life,” said Miss Petkere today, “but I never thought about writing a song until I heard that jazz in the night club. I thought that anybody could do better than that. “I was right. My mother was a musician.” PROBE BANKER KIDNAPING PLOT $30,000 Extortion Attempted, Says Illinois Man.

Bernice Petkere BOOSTS BILLS AIDINDJOBLESS Assembly Still Can Help, Treade Head Says. Indiana legislators still can do something for the unemployed and it will not cost a cent in state funds, it was pointed out Monday by Merritt Harrison, local architect and state chairman of the national committee for trade recovery. He cited three bills making thi3 possible. All are designed to promote self-amortizing public works to be financed at the low rate of 3 per cent through the Federal Reconstruction Finance Corporation. Two are senate bills and one was introduced in the house and awaits senate action. The house bill provides anew method for financing sewage disposal plants through the R. F. C. bonds sales and makes the project self-liquidating by a direct levy for sewage disposal on a monthly basis the same as water rent. Similar provision is made for municipal water plant construction under one of the senate bills, and the other would provide for local financing with R. F. C. funds of “slum clearance” projects. This would include construction of apartments under a “reasonable rent” or co-opera-tive plan.

‘WILD PARTIES' ARE DESGRIBED BY LANCASTER Details Drunken Orgies as He Takes Stand for Second Day. (Continued from Page One) tends Lancaster killed Clarke because of jealousy. Lancaster said he and Mrs. KeithMiller fell in love in Australia after a flight from London. “We had suffered a lot together in the flight,” Lancaster said. “Our relations became more than friendly fn Sidney, Australia. We admired each other and had many things in common ‘We had little opportunity to elope because we were too much in the public eye. My love for Mrs. KeithMiller increased through the years. “I first met Haden Clarke Feb. 9, 1932, when he came to our house (the cottage in which he lived with Mrs. Keith Miller) in Miami to discuss the business proposition of ghost-writing a book of aviation experiences Mrs. Keith-Miller and I had during the previous four years. “I explained our financial position to Haden and told him I hoped to make money and supply the house. I offered him a bed and share of food. He seemed more than satisfied and was eager to come. Describes Heavy Drinking “After he had ippved in, he started on the book, only a few pages. I 'blame myself for that, however, because I took him out whenever I went to play bridge, visit or to business meetings.’’ Asked if he ever saw Clarke lose his temper, Lancaster replied, “Oh, yes. He last his temper several times.” He then told of considerable drinking indulged in at the house by himself. Mrs. Keith-Miller, Clarke and guests. He ‘identified parts of his diary, such as: “Haden Clarke and Chubble (Mrs. Keith-Miller) were cockeyed drunk,” and “Haden, Chubbie and I went to the beach Sunday to fish. I fished, but Haden and Chubbie drank.” He then told of the visits of Peggy Brown, a woman * friend of Clarke. Tells of Girl’s Visits •‘Peggy Brown spent nights with Haden at the house,” Ijfencaster said. “She brought liquor and wo got drunk. I understood from her she was to marry Haden.” . “Clarke was anxious to know all about Mrs. Keith-Miller and myself so that he could picture our personalities In the book. So, right from the start, I told him confidential stories of my life. “On the day before March 5 (when he departed for the flight to the southwest), I had a confidential talk with Haden. “I told him of Mrs. Keith-Miller’s weakness for drinking and asked him to promise me to keep on the water wagon and try to keep sober, as far as possible, during my absence. During this talk I told him of our intimate relations in Australia. He didn’t seem surprised.” Burglar Enters Home, Gets $65 Using a pass key to a rear door, a burglar entered the home of Mr. and Mrs. M. N.

No Weather 10 Miles Up Where Scientist Will Fly

Sun Shines in Black Sky With Mercury Always at 70 Below Zero. BY WATSON DAVIS Science Service Writer WASHINGTON. Aug. 9.—T h e most important observations to be made by Professor Auguste Piccard in his second ascent to the stratosphere will be measurements of the cosmic rays, which also are being given intensive recordings in all parts of the world by American Scientists. Scientists are not excited over the possibility of anew balloon record being set in the event that the shining white aluminum gondola carries its human freight farther from earth than any instrument has transported man. Neither are they interested vitally in the records of temperature, pressure, or other properties of the upper atmosphere. Sounding balloons, carrying continuously recording instruments,

have risen to altitudes of more than twenyt miles, twice as high as Professor Piccard hopes to go. These balloons of science, not carrying observers, have brought back reliable information about the region of no weather, where the temperature always is about 70 degrees fahrenheit below zero, and the air is so thin that no human being could suck enough oxygen out of it to keep alive. The Piccard balloon will pass through all the weather there is in rising to the lower part of the stratosphere. All the clouds in the sky, as well as the strongest winds that blow, are found below the ten-mile height which is the goal. There the sun will shine brightly in a black sky. One of the most surprising discoveries of the science of weather occurred thirty years ago when sounding balloons brought back the information that temperature above about ten miles up did not constantly decrease with height as it does lower down.
