BIRTH CONTROL HELD 810 NEED IN PUERTO RICO Urged as Federal Policy to Help Solve Problem of Overpopulation. BY RUTH FINNEY time* Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.—Puerto Rico's hurricane has crowded from the front pages a report Just forwarded to the war department by Governor-General James R. Beverley, describing a permanent condition in the islands of even greater gravity than the temporary disaster. Beverley urges the drastic remedy of birth control for the little island’s tremendous over-population. The population of Puerto Rico has been increasing with alarming rapidity, according to the 1930 census and estimates made since. Beverley, according to word from Ban Juan, calls attention to this condition in his report, and points out that there can be only three solutions—establishment of new industries in Puerto Rico to furnish employment to many persons, extensive emigration, or a decrease in the birth rate. Beverley has preached the necessity for birth control ever since his inauguration as governor, but the Puerto Rican legislature refused to act on nis recommendation for legislation making it legal. During the last year there has been a net increase of 20.4 per thousand- in the population of the islands, bringing the total to 1,599,142 on June 30, or 465.5 to the square mile. Beverly repeatedly has called attention to the fact that this is too dense a population for an area which mast remain largely agricultural, and that standards of living and health conditions can not improve until it is reduced. Beverley’s annual report was received at the war department almost simultaneously with word of the destructive hurricane, and it is being held until Beverly finds time to wire instructions for releasing it. It is the first report to be made by a prominent official urging a federal birth control policy.

TERMS G. 0. P. RULE FAILURE Van Nuys Flails "Broken Promises’ to Farmers. By Times Special WINAMAC, Sept. 29.—Failure of the Republicans to redeem their 1924 platform pledge to stabilize conditions in agriculture, industry and labor was charged by Frederick Van Nuys, Democratic candidate for United States senator, at a rally here Wednesday night. The American farmer must be aided in every practical way,” Van Nuys pledged. "Farm values progressively have declined until they have now reached anew low level. On a national average, such values afe lower now than for more than twenty years past. This condition must be alleviated by proper legislation to prevent the total collapse of a basic industry. ‘‘The plight of the American farmer was before congress in the Coolidge administration. The Republican platform in 1924 recogr nized that the nation faced a fundamental problem as the welfare of the nation as a whole is dependent upon the prosperity and well being of the agricultural population. "It made a scacred pledge to take whatever steps are necessary to bring back a balanced condition in agriculture, industry and labor. "Search in vain for any redemption of that pledge by the Republican administrations from 1924 until today,” declared Van Nuys. Woman Motorist Is Killed Bn United Press GREENFIELD, Ind., Sept. 29.

CITY FIRM TO IMPROVE PLANT Laundry to Spend $50,000; Brewery to Expand. Officials of the Model Laundry Company, 614 East Ohio street, announced Wednesday that $50,000 to SIOO,OOO will be expended in improving and expanding its service. A brewing firm announces that it is moving its local branch into larger quarters "to take care of increased business.” The laundry company announced that it will buy nine new trucks, install new machinery and increase its advertising, and has added fifteen employes to its pay roll. "Our business has increased in all parts of the city during the last month.” said Clyde E. Ells, manager. "We expect to hire twenty-five to thirty-five more employes in the next six weeks.” Ells also declared that while employes were given a wage cut because of decreased business, some workers already have received increases. A general raise in pay may be expected if business continues to improve, he said. Recent increases in business and expectation of more activity in the future were given as reasons for removal of the local branch of the Blatz Brewing Company of Milwaukee from its former plant, 1104 Burdsall parkway, to a larger building at 55 South Oriental street.

REVOLT FLARES AGAINST JAPAN IN MANCHURIA Formidable Move Paralyzes Rail Traffic; Nippon Official Held. By United Press WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.—A formidable revolt against Japanese authority in northern Manchuria which has paralyzed railroad traffic and resulted in the capture of a high Japanese official, was reported today by a reliable source in the far east. Dispatches said that Colonei Ohara, head of the Japanese military misson at Manchuli, had been arrested. Manchuli was said to be in the hands of the Chinese. A Japanese airplane, which flew there, was forced to turn back to Tsitsihar because of the revolt. Traffic on the western line out of Tsitsihar was said to be at a standstill. The eastern line from that city has been broken in three places, reports said, and Chinese railroad guards were refusing to accompany trains into the danger zone. The dispatches quoted Soviet sources in Manchuria as saying that the railroad line from Chalantun to Manchuli was in the hands ol railroad guards, who had revolted against the Japanese.
