Editor Timet — I THINK It is mighty tough when our children have to play hookey from school to see the Armistice parade and to hear the Armistice services. If all parents were like me, there would be no one at school on Armistice day but the teachers. There surely is something wrong •with our school board and our school trustees that they won’t let the children out for this occasion, but let them out to see the football game in the afternoon. It looks to me as if the only thing in mind is to get the last penny the child has, regardless of principle, and not even giving patriotism a thought. I am 44 years old and I consider Armistice day is the greatest day of my life. If this school board and the school trustees had been actually in war service, they might know what it was all about. A REAL HOOSIER. MUM Editor Timrt — THIS is in reply to “One proud to be a working wife.” You say your husband makes a mere $l5O a month, therefore you feel as though you should work also and earn $l5O a month, making a total of S3OO. Without a doubt, you have no children, which means you can save quite a nice sum each month, drive a powerful car and, in general, be a bit proud. Now, have you ever considered what 82 per cent of the people in Indianapolis earn, if they are working? I have two besides myself to support, and have worked the last four years at sls a week and am glad to get that, and I wouldn’t be ashamed to match my education against yours. I don't believe in Socialism or that nonsense. I voted for Roosevelt. Nor am I envious, but I just want you and your ambitious husband to realize that you both are lucky in every way. So don’t brag about your salary, because millions would be happy to have a different outlook on life with S3OO every three months. ONE WHO DARES. * tt Editor Times— THE proper function of a newspaper as an integral part of any community is the fair and impartial presentation of current events. May I offer my congratulations to The Times for its effort in this direction. The last few weeks have convinced many of us that it is the one paper in Indianapolis willing to serve all the people and meriting our whole-hearted support. A continuation of this policy means public esteem and increasing good will. W. B. OPLINGER. U M M Editor Timet — I WOULD like to call your attention to a law which should be changed. Why should a soldier or sailor be barred from casting his ballot? Is it because he wears the uniform of his country? I have worn it for nearly nine years, and I am proud of it. Are we to be disfranchised because we are in the service of our nation? I don’t know who is the author of that law, but I wish he would tell us his reasons for it in your columns. A civilian employe at the post, a property owner in this state for five years, and assessed for personal property, could not vote in Lawrence township, nor could his wife. I guess it means that soldiers and their families are not even citizens of this country in Indiana. How about a change in this law? Six months are required in this state to establish a residence, so you may vote. I have been here five years. A SOLDIER READER. a a a Editor Times — YOUR issue of Oct. 8 contains an article under the caption “Antitoxin May Aid in Scarlet Fever,” in which it is said, “There seems to be good evidence that the child who is injected will develop a resistance against scarlet fever lasting at a minimum one year, and perhaps longer.” "In the Journal of the American Medical Association, Feb. 9, 1929. Page 503, it is said: “Toomey end Dolch present a series of 283 patients who were treated with scarlet fever antitoxin, and of sixty to whom treatment was not given, forty did not show any marked betterment as compared to control patients, and three of the forty died in a fashion that was suspiciously anaphylactic. “The sickness that has been experienced following the use of serum is extremely severe; in fact, it Is usually more severe than the disease itself. The authors believe that at present the evidence in favor of use of scarlet fever antitoxin is neither clear cut nor decisive.” SUE M. FARRELL. President Vivisection Investigation League. a a a Editor Timet— SINCE when has our state library become a book museum? I thought that the books that the taxpayer’s money buys were for circulation, not relics to be seen or looked at when in the building. I know that we have prohibiting rules and regulations from our birth certificate to our burial permit, but I can not figure out why a “citizen” of Indiana can not have the benefit of the state library without laying off for a week and live in the library to read the books that his money has bought. Will you do me the favor of seeing why, when a person asks for a book, he receives the answer, "It is not for circulation, or we can not let it out. or we are sorry, but we have another book you can read."

Puppy Love By United Press MADISON, Wis., Nov. 15. The Wisconsin state board of health took under advisement today the problem of whether puppy dogs need permanent waves. Charles E. Mullens, director of the beauty parlor division of the board, must make the decision before he can answer the following letter from a beauty palror operator: Is it permissible to bring Pekinese puppies into the shop, oil them up with antiseptic oil, let them sit around on the chairs with it on for a while, and then wash them in the shampoo bowl and use the towels to dry them?” •

cellation of their debts to this government, and that the best way out for the moment will be to continue the moratorium, while these delicate negotiations are under way. The original moratorium, the President is represented as feeling, stayed destruction in every direction in Europe in the last eighteen months—and, inasmuch as they admit themselves now in as bad or worse condition as when he made that move, it will have to be extended for the same reason as in 1931. The President, however, will make no move until he has conferred with his successor. He may be expected to advise along these lines, but to defer in the main to his Democratic opponent’s policies. He expects to co-operate fully with the President-elect on all major policies during the remaining four months of his nearly ended administration. He is willing to subordinate himself and his program to that of his successor in this unprecedented move for nonpartisan action for the good of the entire country, according to his close friends. Belgium Makes Appeal BY JOSEPH H. BAIRD United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.—A third appeal for relief from war debts was added to that of Great Britain and France today when Paul May, Belgian ambassador, presented a note from his government to Secretary of State Stimson. A payment of $2,125,000 is due Dec. 15 from Belgium as interest on its war debt. No principal payment is due. The full Belgian war debt is $400,680,000. State department officials declined for the moment to reveal the text of the Belgian note. Roosevelt Accepts Bid President-Elect Franklin D. Roosevelt telegraphed Mr. Hoover he will be glad to talk over the debt problem with him at the White House. He indicated plainly, however, that he did not propose to assume responsibility in advance of his accession to power cn March 4. The conference probably will be held early next week. Mr. Hoover, en route from California, will return here Wednesday to grapple in the dying days of his administration with one of the most formidable and dynamic problems that has confronted him. Appeals by Great Britain and France for a complete revision of war debts, and suspension of their Dec. 15 payments pending negotiations, raise a delicate problem. It has two angles—political and economic—and the two appear to conflict. Attitude Is Expressed Most congressional leader declare America, fading a billion-dollar deficit in its budget, can not cancel or ; even postpone payment of Europe’s’ debts. Many of them committed themselves to this stand in recent campaign appeals. Chairman James W. Collier (Dem., Miss.) of the house ways and means committee, ‘ expressed the attitude of many congressmen. “If Europe can’t pay, let her owe us,” he said. “I favor keeping the obligation on our books. Some day we may be able to get some of the money anyway.” Yet, in the minds of some government economists, there is doubt as to the wisdom, even from a selfish viewpoint, of forcing debtors to default if they can not pay. May Change Minds According to prevalent opinion in administration circles, France can transfer its payment of $20,000,000 in gold to the United States without difficulty. But Great Britain may not be able to transfer its December installment of $95,500,000. Some officials feel that a default might encourage non-payment by national and private debtors throughout the world, thus endangering international credit everywhere. * The negative attitude in congress, it is believed here, might be influenced by recommendations of the Republican and Democratic leaders.

INSULL JR. TELLS IN COURT OF FIGHT TO STAVE OFF RUIN

Meanest Man By United PressLAFAYETTE, Ind., Nov. 15. Neither food nor clothing could be hauled to needy families in Lafayette today because a “meanest” thief stole the Salvation Army’s only truck.

‘NO CITY DARES FAIL ITS NEEDY,’ WARNSJAKER U. S. Must Rise to Supreme Demand, He Tells Fund Workers Here. Picturing the depression as an “undramatic catastrophe,” Newton D. Baker, former secretary of war and now chairman of the national relief movement, hurled a challenge to the entire country Monday night in his address in Cadle tabernacle to open the annual campaign of the Indianapolis Community Fund. “We are facing a national crisis of profound depth and meaning in the life of our nation which will require courage to meet,” Baker said. “I have seen America meet a supreme demand. In 1917 we mobilized to go co war. In a spontaneous, winning spirit each of us forgot ourselves as we united for action. “Today we need the same spirit to meet an undramatic catastrophe and again we must unite as an army to save the country.” Address Is Broadcast Although addressing particularly a large crowd of local fund workers and citizens, his speech, in which he declared that “the United States at the present moment faces the most serious test of a civilized nation,” was broadcast to other cities. With his words still ringing in their ears, 3,000 volunteer workers today started their solicitations to raise $1,052,000 for relief in Indianapolis. First reports will be received at noon Wednesday at the Claypool. “No community dares to say that it failed at the task in which we are now engaged,” Baker declared. “We are living here, working here, and we intend to raise our children and grandchildren here. We must make this a place where they can grow strong. Big Values at Stake “Even in doing our best we will lose some priceless things. You have here a beautiful city, with beautiful buildings. Each of you would feel a hurt if any one of these buildings would be destroyed, but what would it matter? “Stone masons could replace them. But who can replace the characters of children if they become hard and hopeless? It is these values that are at stake while they live in an atmosphere of depression and despondency.” Baker reviewed briefly the wartime period during which he served in the cabinet of President Woodrow Wilson and told how the country responded jubiliantly to the demand for sacrifice. “War, or a flood or earthquake, are dramatic catastrophes to which we respond willingly,” Baker said. "When appeals for aid are voiced in such cases, we are zealous immediately. We clamor for a share in making sacrifices. ‘We Can Not Realize’ “But only the most civilized nations can respond „o the undramatic. There is no -loubt that there is want and deprivation abroad in the land of the most serious proportions. Because our thinking has been only in dramatic pictures, perhaps we can not realize immediately the task facing us.” The previous period of prosperity in which it was thought that the country had “abolished poverty’’ through the workings of a nationwide money-making machine created a feeling that the United States had been fortunate in escaping major catastrophies, Baker said. “Suddenly out of the blue comes the depression and 12,000,000 men arae out of work, affecting people who never before had to admit want,” Baker declared. “Miracle of Miracles” “There are from 300,000 to 500,000 young men wandering around the country, learning from criminals how to exist under present conditions." A loud round of applause followed Baker’s ringing declaration that it is “the miracle of miracles, testifying to the solidity of American people and their training, that under these conditions, crime among the young has not increased.” Steps taken in other parts of the country in the interests of poor relief were cited by Baker. The state of New York has taken a leading role in the work, he said, setting a goal of $15,000,000 for unemployment relief alone. The city of Cleveland. Baker’s home city, now is I engaged in a drive for $4,500,000, he I said. Approximately $300,000,000 has! been appropriated by the federal j government to supplement local aid ! programs. Baker asserted, but j pointed out that federal and state aid is inadequate and that additional funds from private sources are necessary. Arthur R. Baxter, general chairman of the fund drive, presided at the meeting. Hourly Temperatures 6a. m 51 10 a. m 46 7 a. m 51 11 a. m 44 Ba. m 49 12 (noon).. 43 9a. m 48 Ip. m 43

‘Standstill’ Agreement With Bank Creditors Negotiated. By United Press CHICAGO, Nov. 15.—Samuel Insull Jr.’s successful attempt to stave off ruin of the two billion'dollar Insull utilities empire on Dec. 14, 1931, by negotiating a “standstill” agreement with bank creditors was related from the witness stand today by young Insull. He appeared before Federal Judge | Walter C. Lindley in the bankruptcy hearing to recover assets of the $250,000,000 Insull Utilities Investments, Inc. The “standstill” agreement, which froze the loans to the Insull Investment Company and prevented the sale of the securities, came under scrutiny in connection with a charge that the companies were insolvent when the agreement was reached. The Insull utilities pyramid’s crash did not begin until last April. Tense as He Testifies Sitting tense in l.is chair, young Insull testified that as far as he knew, the agreement was reached before the Insull company’s collateral had declined to a point where bank obligations could not be met. In somber attire, Insull Jr. appeared to sense the importance of his testimony. He spoke slowlly, deliberately, biting off syllables with a touch of English accent. He pronounced either, “eye-ther.” He was questioned by Floyd Thompson, former chief justice of the Illinois state supreme court, who explained that his only concern was to obtain the story of young Insult’s part in the failure. Insull testified the Insull regime’s affairs reached a state on Dec. 14 where he "recognized that the end of the situation was here from the market point of view. Beginning of the End “We were aware,” he continued, “that we had a certain amount of collateral, and no more. There had I been a rather continual decline in the market value of our portfolio. The point was about reached where we would not be able to put up collateral on loans as we had been able to do previously.” Into this situation stepped young Insull, as he told it—delegated to ipake the effort success of which would have meant temporary salvation, at least, for his father’s firms. Insull spoke of his father without visible emotion, although he returned only last week from a trip abroad and parted with the Elder Insull when the latter, indicted by the Cook county grand jury, proceeded to Greece, where he now is awaiting the outcome of extradition efforts. After the close of banking hours on Dec. 14, young Insull went with Harold Foreman, his father’s assistant, and called on the city’s banking leaders. He mentioned Herman Waldek, vice-president of the Continental Illinois; Melvin A. Traylor of the First National, and Philip R. Clarke of the Central Republic Bank and Trust Company—the last-named the Dawes bank, which later was to obtain an $80,000,000 loan from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation and Chicago banks to tide it over a crisis. Tells of Plea to Bankers Insull repeated what he had told these bankers —his request for a standstill agreement, his explanation that he was assured of sympathetic action by New York bankers if the Insull interests had the backing of Chicago institutions. “I told Mr. Traylor,” he testified, ‘that we wouldn't continue to collaterize our bank loans.” “ ‘Yes, no dumping,’ ” Insull quoted Traylor as replying. Traylor meant, Insull explained, that there must be no forced sale of securities. Those three words of agreement with young Insull’s views were the turning point of his round of banking houses. Out of hectic evening came the “standstill” agreement. STUDIES STEVE’S PLEA Federal Judge Takes Habeas Corpus Arguments Under Advisement. By United Press SOUTH BEND, Ind., Nov. 15. Written arguments on the question of whether D. C. Stephenson, former Indiana klan leader, is entitled to freedom from the state prison on a writ of habeas corpus were taken under advisement today by Federal Judge Thomas. JIM LAUDS GARNER 'Economic Views Sound,’ Watson Is Quoted. By United Press SOUTH BEND. Ind., Nov. 15. John N. Garner, Vice-President-elect and Speaker of the house of representatives, was described as “having sound economic views as any man in congress,’’ by Senator James E. Watson, senate Republican leader, a week before the election, it was said here today. Rome C. Stephenson. South Bend, former president of the American Bankers Association, said Watson made the comment on Gamer when Watson visited here during h.s unsuccessful campaign for re-election. “I have known Garner for twenty years and know him to be sound in his economic views,” Stephenson said. “If misfortune should remove Roosevelt from the presidency, the American people need not. be afraid of a Gainer administration. He was unjustly maligned during the campaign.”

Nol Pros Action 'Leaves Door Open’ in Case of New Evidence. TAKEN OFF DOCKET Young Widow Demanded That She Be Tried for Death of Husfiand. By United Press WINSTON-SALEM, N. C., Nov. 15.—Judge A. M. Stack today granted application of Solicitor Carlisle Higgins for a nol pros in the case of Libby Holman Reynolds, former Broadway singer, and Albert (Ab) Walker, charged murdering Zachary Smith Reynolds, heir to a tobacco fortune. Judge Stack formally ordered the defendants freed and their bonds discharged. The nol pros taken today removes the case from superior court docket permanently unless new evidence is discovered, in which event the indictment can be reinstated on presentation to the presiding judge. In other words, this action “leaves the door open.” Ignore Widow’s Plea. Disposal of the case in this manner is not what the accused young widow demanded in a dramatic public statement after relatives of the dead Reynolds heir appealed to the state to drop the case if it is felt justified. Miss Holman, through her attorney, Benet Polikoff, Winston-Salem, appealed for “absolute vindication” to “lift this cloud over my head.” She wanted a trial by jury, and outright acquittal, she said, indicating the possibility Polikoff might fight the nol pros move. “It becomes my duty,” Higgins’ statement said, “to determine what course the state shall pursue and like any other question of human judgment, there might be an error of judgment.” “Door Is Left Open” If the case were tried, Higgins said, and a conviction not obtained, “the door is closed,” even if new developments arise. Whereas, he stated, by taking a nol pros, “the door is left open’ for future action on new evidence. Will N. Reynolds, uncle of the late Smith, previously had told Higgins in a letter that the Reynolds family wished the case dropped since it appeared doubtful if a conviction could be obtained.

Beer! Beer! It’ll soon be on every lip. But not literally. A great deal of water will flow over the dam before beer starts to flow out of the bung. Congress will take up this new “mandate of the people” when it meets early in December. Does the election mean an unlimited flood of beer immediately? The more enthusiastic and less Informed wets th.'nk so. Does it mean a sudden backsliding to saloon days, and defeat of the whole struggle to coLtrol the liquor traffic? Some of the drys fear so. But neither is right. Just what are the real prospects, near and far, for beer? Willis Thornton, NEA Service writer, has made a study of the question, and has written six timely articles on it. They contain facts which few partisans on either side realize. They will give our readers, both wet and dry, an unbiased view of an approaching major issue in the nation’s congress. The second appears today on Page One, Section Two.
