RELIEF PLANS TO SE REVIVED IN CONGRESS Direct Hunger Aid; Public Building, Jobless Credit Proposals Pushed. BY RUTH FINNEY Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.—Three relief plans proposed at the last session of congress will be revived this winter, and pressed more vigorously than before. These are the La Follette-Costi-gan plan for direct federal hunger relief, the La Fallotte plan for an extensive federal public building program, and the Costigan-La Guardia bill for creation of a government corporation to furnish credit directly to consumers as the R. F. C. furnishes credit to banks and employers. When Senator Robert La Follette arrives in Washington next week, he and Senator Edward R. Costlgan will discuss what steps shall be taken in behalf of the measure bearing both their names. If the manufactures committee, of which La Follette is chairman, holds new hearings on this subjeot, it probably will include an Inquiry into the administration of relief by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation during the last five months. Many state officials have complained of the insufficiency of this relief, but are hesitant about voicing open criticism as long as they have no other place to turn for help. Extend Purchasing Credit Senator Costigan intends to ask that the manufactures committee hold hearings on his consumer credit bill as soon as possible after the session begins. This bill, introduced late in the spring session, is sponsored by the Railway Labor Executives Association. “The plan provides for extending purchasing credit to the unemployed heads of househoul3 in the United States,” says Costigan. “Orders for the necessaries of life are expected to result from such credit in volume sufficient to stimulate the restoration of industrial activity and more normal prices, for which all America impatiently has waited. “The novelty of the plan arises from its endeavor to furnish credit to the many at the foundation, rather than the few at the top of our industrial structure. 5 ’ Urges Exchange Corporation His bill calls for creation of a United States exchange corporation with an initial capital of $500,000 and authority to issue notes for five times this sum. It would loan unemployed family heads SSOO credit each in the form of certificates which might be exchanged for food, clothing and other necessaries of life, not including rent. Licensed dealers would receive the certificates and receive cash for them from the corporation. Each SSOO loan would be expected to support a family for six months, and would be payable ten years from date with interest gradually increasing from 1 to 4 per cent. Unemployed borrowers who obtained work would be required to pay 10 per cent of their wages on their loans. Licensed producers would receive loans from the corporation for the employment of additional workers to fill orders received, and loans would be authorized also for deferred railroad maintenance work. This plan is the first offered to congress for direct stimulation of purchasing power. Costigan believes that in connection with its consideration this winter congress should investigate the experiment taking place in Seattle, where a voluntary association of the unemployed is opening factories, producing needed goods, and exchanging them with farmers for food, by means of scrip. A somewhat similar plan has been put into effect in parts of Utah.

FLY ‘MISSING LINK’ IS FOUND IN ARGENTINA Insect That Bridges One Gap Discovered by Scientist. B, Soieu :• Service WAS! INGTON, Nov. 26.—The ranks of evolutionary “missing links” have lost another member. This time it is a fly, a curious insect from the high-lying lake region of southwestern Argentina, that fills a gap between the botflies that bother cattle and a group of tiny flies that parasitize other insects. The common house-fly is only a distant relative. The find was made by Raymond C. Shannon, a Smithsonian entomologist, but its significance was not realized until the specimen reached the United States National museum. Here it was examined by Charles H. T. Townsend and Dr. j. M. Aldrich, Smithsonian curator of insects. The new fly Is like a bot-fly, except that It has bristles on its body, while the bot-fly is smooth. It represents, possibly, a “surviving ancestor.”

NEW ROAD REACHES MILE-HIGH ELEVATION North Carolina Highway Believed Tallest East of Rockies. 841 He Unci' ■ rice B iYSCN CITY, N. C., Nov. 26.An elevation of almost a mile is reached on anew highway built in the Great Smoky Nat.onal park near here by the North Carolina state highway commission. The exact height reached is 5.044 feet above sea 1 level, and engineers believe this to be the highest point on a state highway system east of the Rockies. It was pointed out that roads leading to the summits of Mt. Mitchell and Mt. Washington reach greater elevations, but these do not belong to state highway systems. The new road crosses the rugged Great Smoky area, most of which is above 4,000 feet with many peaks close to 6,500 feet. In spite of the broken character of the country, a standard highway has been built on the greater part of which a speed of forty-five miles an hour can be maintained in safety.

Chicago at night. The roads of America no longer belong to the hoboes of years ago. The 'bo and* his brother have been absorbed into a new group which, driven from stale modes of life bv unemployment, has spread over the country, forming new * , new language, new estates—the human Jungles of todav. Like thousands of others, Terry Donoghue was cut off from white-collar stability by lack of employment. Through seven thousand miles of these Jungles he wandered. He has written of his experiences in a series of articles, of which this is the second. BY TERRY DONOGHUE (Copyright. 1932, by the New York WorldTelegram Corporation) AT half past 9 Saturday night I was walking down North Clark street, Chicago, looking for a cheap restaurant. An hour before, at the end of a series aof “hitched" rides from New York, I had arrived in the city where I had hopes of a job. Os the dollar I had started with three days before, I had 45 cents left. This was wealth, judging by signs in store windows: shaves, 5 cents; haircuts, 10; meals, a dime. At Grand avenue a restaurant advertised chops, potatoes, bread and butter for 10 cents. Other prices were proportionate, Inside, white clad waitresses carried steaming dishes among spotless tables. I entered. Most of the customers were white collar men. Four or five women sat at tables. Their cheeks were red; their clothes bright. I ate three meatballs, spaghetti, sweet rolls and coffee. My check called for 10 cents. With a contenting warmth in my stomach I rolled a cigaret and turned my attention to the problem of existing until Monday, when I was sure, I’d get a job. My immediate need was a bed. The man opposite me was young, He wore a white shirt beneath a lumberjacket. I asked him if he knew where the city lodging houses were. “I’m sorry, buddy,” he said, “I don’t know. But you walk north on Clark until you hit Bughouse park, about eight blocks from here. You can’t miss it. ’’You’ll be able to tell it by all the nuts you see. It’s where the soap boxers of Chicago sound off/ You can ask around there and get information aaout any city in the country.” I FOUND the place. On the corner four small Negro boys were singing spirituals. The people who crowded around them threw coins at their feet. .Ten speakers stood above other groups gesturing and shouting. An Indian medicine man in full war regalia displayed a bottle containing a yellow liquid. His night flare lighted up his hook-nosed face. On the edge of one group was a man with a chew of tobacco the size of a walnut in an unshaven cheek. His clothes were wrinkled and his gray cap was a shapeless covering. Under his arm was the badge of the unemployed—a small, paper-wrapped bundle, I asked him where I could get a bed for the night. I explained that I had just arrived in town. He was an inforamtion bureau; he gave me a list of eleven places. He told me not to sleep in any of the missions on South State street. “You’ll get all crumbed up if you get around those mission stiffs. The garbage cans are bad, but they are the best joints to play if you haven’t got flop money. They

One night is enough 'for anybody that has any guts. Remember, go to that place r on South Green street. You'll get breakfast out of it.” I left him and walked to the circle of concrete in the center of the park. I found an unoccupied bench and sat down. I rolled a cigaret and dragged on it slowly. Above me stretched jagged hunks of the Chicago skyline, streaked and dotted with lights. The tall buildings towered far above the moiling men in the street. The comforting warmth of my meal was wearing off and my thoughts turned to myself.

against the stone sounded to me as laughter in the street must sound to an imprisoned man. Rain began to fall and I hurried toward South Green street. It took me more than an hour locate the lodging house. It was an old loft building, identical with the rest in the dark street. Drunken men in overalls sprawling on the steps singing parodies of hymns made me look closer at the building, and I saw in a dim light a man sitting at a small desk beside the door. As I entered the smell of unwashed bodies struck me like a slap across the face. Vaguely outlined in the dark I saw men sleeping on planks and benches. Stockinged feet stuck out in all directions. Men were curled up on the floor. I sat down at the desk and the brusque doorkeeper asked who I was, what I did, my age, and where I was going. He then gave me a slip of paper. “This entitles you to one more night. And then get going out of town.” I did not answer. He flashed a searchlight at a door in a corner of the room. , “Go downstairs and you’ll find a place to sleep.” I followed the light to the door. Narrow stairs led down whitewashed walls to the cellar. Park benches stood in rows. Nearly all of them were occupied by fully dressed men. In the light of the single bulb in the rear of the room they looked like victims of a plague. a a IT was like being in a temporary morgue, where by some freak the dead still moaned, twisted and squirmed in a lethal aftermath of life. I walked among the benches looking for an empty one. On this one an old man with with dirt-encrusted overalls; on this one a boy with a smudged face. Over here the powerful body of a laborer. Next to it a Negro who opened one white eye to watch me stumble by. I found a bench. I did not mind its hardness. It meant that I could stretch my legs and straighten my spine. With disgust like smoke in my nostrils, I fell asleep and did not wake until dawn,, when men who had beds above came tramping in. I sat up. Light came through basement windows. If I had not been an actor in

Senator William E. Borah’s subcommittee last week, has failed to shake the complacency of the man, who was most active in bringing the treaty into being. "I have great hope that the treaty will be ratified before congress adjourns in March,” said Charles P. Craig, director of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Tidewater Association, who was described last week by an opposing witness as “the paid propagandist who put the treaty over on the people.” Craig would not reveal what arguments would be presented next week when his affirmative witnesses go before the Borah subcommittee to rebut the testimony with which the opponents last week placed treaty advocates on the defensive. All arguments against the treaty will be taken care of said Craig, when asked how he intended to answer statements that: No appreciable saving in freight rates on grain can be accomplished by the waterway, since grain is now being moved from Duluth to Montreal for less than 6 cents a bushel. Only one-tenth of the Great Lakes freight traffic possibly could be available for export. For one bushel of American wheat, there are ten bushels of Canadian wheat shipped over the Great Lakes for export, and Canada therefore, would get a lion's share of any benefits that might accrue through a ship canaj. Craig admitted that if opponents persist and a stubborn fight is made against the treaty, there is little chance for ratification in the short session. Os the 23.930 public high schools in the United States, more than one-fourth are located in Texas, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Missouri and Illinois.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

the scene, I would have laughed aloud. Hundreds of men came into the room. They all wore hats_and shoes and old-fashioned white nightgowns. Their clothes, fumigated while they slept hung from racks that were being trundled into the basement. A thought ran throught my mind: “They look like whitewashed characters out of ‘The Green Pastures’.” I watched the men dress. Big men, foreign men; mechanics and truck drivers. Old men, like rusted machines, dressed with painful slowness. Young boys quickly slipped into their clothes and gave their faces a perfunctory bath at the crowded lavatory. I looked at their faces just as they looked at mine. In all of them was a dazed dullness. , tt u Tt/YOST of the men were under -*•"■*•4o, many of them were not 20. I was smoking a cigaret when a Negro said: “Save me a drag, buddy.” I handed him my pack of tobacco and he rolled his own. Five other fellows eyed him and asked if I could spare a little tobacco. “Come on and get it,” a voice cried, and we bunched up at the door to the stairway. At the end of two flights we entered a dining hall. The tables were wood, scrubbed almost white.- As we came into the room a line was formed and we filed by a counter where men passed cut food. I was handed an enamel bowl full of oatmeal; another man dropped two slices of bread into the bowl. A small plate containing crushed prunes was given to me. The last thing I received was a cup of coffee. As I got it I realized why the lodging houses were called garbage cans. Most of the food and coffee was being ladled out of bright metal garbage containers. In front <rf me at my table was a small man with a stiff white collar. He wolfed his food and was through before the rest had finished oatmeal. He asked for more and was handed three extra slices of bread. He came back with his coffee cup and the news, “You can get all the coffee you want.” Four men had their cups refilled. tt tt THE food was good. I didn’t eat the bread, but handed it to the man whose hunger fascinated me. He thanked me with a glance and went on eating. Outside, a drizzling rain fell. I stood in it and watched a breadline that stretched around the corner to form a U., its end in another block. At the head of the first line was an Indian. He wore a bright; blanket coat and a ccnical sombrero. He smiled and joked with the officials who examined tickets as the men .entered the building. The faces of the men in the lines could have been found in any shop or office. Young men in neatly pressed clothes; elderly men in clean linen. Laborers in overalls and aliens still wearing vestiges of old country garments. I walked toward West Madison street to see what Sunday had to offer to an unemployed man. Next: A personally escorted tour of Chicago’s seamy side.

EMIGRATION IS ON INCREASE FROM CUBA Steady Movement Is Noticed in Population Figures. By Times Special HAVANA, Nov. 26.—Movement of population in Cuba today is away from the island, according to figures Just released by the statistical division of the treasury department, which are analyzed by Cuba Importadora e Industrial. Cuba’s traditional immigration, Spanish, has lessened notably. In 1931 the number of departures from Cuba exceeded arrivals by no less than 31,429. In 1902, departures exceeded •arrivals by 1,020, but this did not occur again until 1921-22, the years of the great crisis, when departures exceeded arrivals by 15,000. During recent years, however, the deficit has steadily grown, or from 6,841 in 1927, to 31,429 in 1931, during the last few years departures exceeding arrivals by some 55,594 persons.

STATE BUILDS CASE IN TRIAL OFJAMILTON Landlord Tells of Actions of Witt, Companion Prior to Fatal Holdup. By Times Special LEBANON, Ind., Nov. 26.—Mi10 Stockberger, one of the state s principal witnesses in the trial of Louis E. Hamilton charged with the murder of Lafayette A. Jackson, Indianapolis chain grocer, during a robbery attempt May 27, 1931, today underwent a rigid cross-examination by the defense.

One night following the slaying, Stockberger said Hamilton and Witt appeared at his home, each with bloodstained hats, and said they had wrecked two automobiles in eluding officers near Greencastle. Among other state witnesses on the stand Friday were Patrolman Albert Kelly and Edgar C. Deeter. Folicemen on Stand Cruising in a police car near the scene of the slaying, they said they parked the machine and leaped out when they heard shots, and that both fired at two men who fled from the store.

MANY DOCTORS MAKE INSUFFICIENT INCOMES 21,000 Physicians Received Less $1,500 Each in Boom Year. By Times Special CHICAGO, Nov. 26.—1n the boom year, 1929, one-half the physicians of the United States received a net income of only $3,800 or less, while more than 21,000 practitioners—>s per cent of all the physicians in the United States—derived less than 51.500 from their professional activities, and more than 4 per cent lost money as a result of their year’s work. These figures are based on an exhaustive study of the incomes of physicians in the Upited States contained in a report made public today. The report states that although a number of physicians have exceptionally large incomes, it was found that a larger proportion of physicians have inadequate incomes than have members of any other professional group. Physicians’ incomes declined 17 per cent in 1930, the first year of the depression, according to the report. Comparative figures for the first three months of 1931 disclosed a still larger drop in income. Drunken Driving Is Charged Lacerations on the head were suffered by Leo Ganz, 39, of 409 East Morris street, and he was arrested on a charge of drunken driving as a result of collision of the automobile he was driving and an Indiana Railroad interiirban car at Madison avenue and hSelby street.

RADIUM PIERCES STEEL Pictures Are Taken to Ferret Out Cracks and Flaws. Ep Science Scruice PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 26.—Using a diminutive capsule of radium salt instead of an elaborate X-ray camera, engineers now take pictures through steel as much as ten inches thick in search of threatening cracks and flaws. With this recently developed technique, castings for big guns of the United States navy are made to reveal their weakness before they can be fired disastrously, and electric welds are tested without actually breaking the joints. These are some of the applications of testing with gamma rays of radium described before the Franklin institute by Dr. Gilbert E. Doan of Lehigh university, Bethlehem, Pa. Dr. Doan was active in research which developed these methods. More Harvard freshmen chose medicine than any other single profession, when 500 were asked what their future careers were to be.

M’NUTT, LESLIE WILL CONFER ON NEEDYJELIEF Meeting Will Be Held at Statehouse Tuesday; Deny Other Matters Up. Governor-Elect Paul V. McNutt will confer with Governor Harry G. Leslie on state unemployment relief at the statehouse Tuesday. Arrangements for the meeting were made by Leslie, who announced that it is to discuss future relief, under the McNutt administration. Leslie created a state-wide organization for relief, with Dr. John H. Hewitt as full-time director. Declaring that ”unemploymnt relief is one of the greatest problems facing the new administration.” Leslie said he wanted to explain what has been done and urge continuance of the program. Deny Other Subjects He denied that other matters will be taken up with the Governorelect, although he indicated that he would let McNutt name a successor to Commissioner Harry K. Cuthbertson on the public service commission. Cuthbertson has resigned, effective Dec. 1. Leslie, commenting on McNutt's announced intention to change the entire commission personnel, declared: “I am not going to make an appointment and sacrifice someone to the chopping block.” May Fight for Young It is considered likely that Leslie will make an effort to save at least one commissioner. That is Ralph Young, who was appointed to succeed Frank Singleton. Leslie and Young have been personal friends and the commissioner is a constant adviser on administration affairs. His term of office does nnot expire until 1936.
