SINGLE RAILWAY SYSTEM URGED BY COMMITTEE Drastic Changes Demanded by Al Smith, Other Board Members. /!;/ In ilrrt Vrrxx NEW YORK, Fob. 15:—Sweeping change* in governmental regulation of railroads looking toward an eventual united single railroad *ys- I tern for the entire country, and a j “realistic" scaling down of railroad capital structures, were recommended today by the national transportation committee. The report, the most detailed and thorough study of the American transportation system yet made, bore additional weight because former Governor Alfred E. Smith and Bern/rd M. Baruch, banker, both certain to be influential in the Roosevelt administration, were members of the committee. Observers felt it was most likely the report would wield strong influence in Democratic efforts to solve the difficult railroad situation. Calvin Coolidge headed the committee until his death. Smith Adds Memorandum Smith, while agreeing for the most part with his colleagues, issued a supplemental memorandum expressing “my conclusions in my own language, placing the emphasis where I think it belongs.” The committee felt consolidations were so important, if railroads were to be returned to a sound basis, that they should be forced by governmental action in cases where managements were reluctant. All members of the committee agreed on two emergency measures. Baruch, Alexander Lcgge, president of the International Harvester Company, and Clark Howell, Atlanta publisher, agreed on two others to which Smith took exception. First, the committee said, bankruptcy procedure should be revised to facilitate corporate reorganization. second, there should be retroactive repeal of the recapture clause of the transportation act which requires profitable roads to help support weak ones. Smith did not agree with his colleagues that immediate revision of the statutory rule for rate making, or a modification of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation's collateral requirements for the special benefit of railroads were needed. Smith went a step beyond the others on the question of corporate reorganizations by favoring a debtor relief act to expire Jan. 1, 1935. He warned insurance companies, colleges and trust companies that the “public will not stand" for their becoming “a preferred class of investors who must get 100 cents on the dollar irrespective of the ti*ue value and condition of the business (railroads) they have invested in." Mentions Labor Issue He proposed substitution of a bureau with a responsible head for the present interstate commerce commission. Smith warned the railroads they could not expect "to make labor the only scapegoat in settling their difficulties.” The committee as a whole did not consider the labor problem. The committee found most fault with the present statutes requiring rate making on a basis of fair return on investments. It proposed substitution of a "common sense and forthright basis" instead of costly and cumbersome valuations of railroad properties. The committee recommended also fewer government subsidies to waterways, and regulation of all forms of competitive transport. The committee was organized Oct. 7 at the request of insurance companies, coheres and savings banks.

LEBANON PUPILS IN MODEL HOME RAGE More Entries Are Assured in Times Contest. A letter was received from T. L. Christian, principal of Lebanon high school, today, stating that pupils in the shop class would enter the competition for individual prizes and the school trophy in The Times miniature model house contest. All indications point to a spirited contest among state schools to obtain the first leg on the trophy which was voted by the Home Complete Exposition to be given to the school receiving the greatest number of honorable mention. Twen-ty-five of these will be awarded. First prize, a trip to the nation's capital, with all expenses paid for an entire week, has fired the hopes of all high school students who will participate and it is expected that this year's models will be built in the same scale and style of previous years. Other prizes, which will be awarded to winning students will be announced shortly.

YOUNG HOOSIER DIES IN ALASKA Trapper’s Body Found After Month’s Search; Came From Oxford. By Timex fiperinl WRANGELL, Alaska, Feb. 15.—A month's search today resulted in finding of the body of Albert Rasmussen, youthful trapper, who left his home in Oxford, Ind., two years ago to be with his brother in the far north. Rasmussen’s body was found late Tuesday on the beach near his Kosciusko island trapping camp, the tragic climax of an attempt of the 21-year-old trapper to swim to shore when his skiff sank. His heavy boots and clothing had beer, removed. Rasmussen last was seen Jan. 13, when he bought provisions. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Rasmussen of Oxford. The youth went to Wrangell where his brother, Axel, is a teacher, to work a salmon run two years ago. Although he h&d Claimed to return to Indiana, he became interested in trapping, extending his line between two cabins, about a day's journey apart. He apparently was taking a short cut to the extreme end of his line when the tragedy occurred.

Demands of2oo Jobless Are Heard by Governor

Program for Relief Also Laid Before Senate and House. Presenting demands to Governor Paul V. McNutt and the general assembly, approximately 200 unemployed staged a demonstration on the statehouse steps Tuesday afternoon, with several leaders making speeches while a cordon of police stood guard. In sharp contract to previous receptions McNutt gave a committee cf three a hearing in his office and dispatched them with their demands to the house and senate, where Speaker Earl Crawford and Lieu-tenant-Governor Clifford Townsend read demands to both houses. Spokesmen for the jobless deS manded that McNutt arrange for i one of them to address the assembly, 1 but this, the Governor pointed out,

35 Years Ago Today, ‘Remember the Maine’

BY EARL M’KEE EXACTLY thirty-five years ago tonight, at 9:40 o’c’ock, the battleship Maine settled to the bottom of Havana harbor as the result of a terrific explosion. Next morning, just at daybreak, the story "broke,” and. too late for the regular editions of morning newspapers, newsboys cried ‘‘extras’’ in every town of the nation, with this startling message emblazoned in black type on their front pages: Feb. 16, 1898 "Commander - in - Chief, Key West: Maine blbwn up in Havana harbor at 9:40 last night and destroyed. Many wounded and doubtless more killed or drowned. Wounded and others on board Spanish man-of-war and Ward line steamers.

Sentiment Favorable to Project Voiced at Public Hearing. In a public hearing, at which delegates from twenty-three civic organizations and representatives of labor unions appeared before the works board, decision was reached today to complete the city’s widening and resurfacing program on East New York street. The improvement ordered today is between Noble and Dorman streets, the last link in the program. The meeting was held after several residents protested against the program at the present time because of the expense to the city and the assessment on. property owners. Sentiment of civic organizations, however, was unanimous in favor of the program, and only a few dissenters were present among the 150 persons at the hearing. Adolph Fritz, secretary of the Indiana State Federation of Labor, asked that the work be continued to check the “Communistic movement and revolutionary tendencies in the city." He cited the demonstration at the statehouse Tuescl;:y as an example of unrest caused by.'lmrhiployment. a" Attempted remonstrance by the Big Four railroad, on the ground that the work would h*ve to be undone when a track elevation program was started at New York street met with boos of derision from the crowd.

he was unable to do. He listened to their complaints and told them that he had devoted more time and thought to the unemployment problem than to any other facing him. Submission of the unemployed demands to the senate caused a w T rangle when Senator Chester Perkins (Dem., South Bend), sought to have “demands’’ changed to “petition.’' This move was blocked by Senator Anderson Ketchum tDem., Greensburg), majority floor leader. The jobless demands included abolition of the basket system of poor relief, unemployment insurance, free school textbooks, clothing, food and carfare for school children, moratorium on evictions and utility debts, and voiced opposition to the j proposed sales tax.

THE INDIAN

M’NUTT SAVING CLAIMJISPUTED House to Sift Appropriation Bill, After Challenge by State C. of C. The house of representatives will j sit as a committee of the whole this j afternoon to consider the biennial appropriation bill, item by item. The house will take cognizance of charges by the Indiana State Chamber of Commerce that the $4,000,000 savings claimed by Governor Paul V. McNutt and his advisers is not actual. The cnamber also asserts its contention is proved by the state budget committee’s report. Methods of calculation used in reaching the $4,000,000 figure are unfair, the chamber declares. Actual reductions made by the budget bill, as compared with reductions made by the special session of the legislature last year, are small, it is claimed. The budget committee report, issued Tuesday, supports the chamber of commerce contention. The report points out that if total expenditures for the last two years are lumped and compared with expenditures for the next two years, the saving will be $4,000,000. But if the expenditures this year, fixed at he special session last summer, are oed as a basis of comparison, the saving will be about $1,000,000. The committee’s budget recommendation for the fiscal years 193335 is $10,997,806.

IPOLIS TIMES

DATES CHANGED IN FISCAL YEAR BY SENATE BILL Begins July 1 Instead of Oct. 1: Other Measures Are Approved. Two bills changing the, date of the state’s fiscal year and the date when institutions should prepare and submit budget estimates were passed late Tuesday by the senate, under suspension of rules. Senator Thurman A. Gottschalk <Dem., Berne), majority leader of the budget committee, explained that both bills were necessary to complete the biennial budget bill which today begins its legislative course in the lower house. Ends June 30 Hereafter, under the Gottschalk bills, the state's fiscal year will begin July 1 and end June 30. Former dates were Oct. 1 and Sept. 30. Reports from institutions will be submitted Aug. 15 instead of Oct. 15. Banks and trust companies will not be permitted to solicit any form of legal business or to act in a legal capacity in drawing wills, under terms of a bill passed Tuesday and referred to the house. Ten-year refunding bonds, to pay county and township bonds which have matured, but which can not be i paid in cash, would be allowed by a | bill approved and sent to the house. Safeguards for Miners Additional safeguards for coal : miners were supported before the senate labor committee at a public hearing Tuesday night. Blasting in mines while miners are at work would be prohibited by the measure. Telephonic communication with the surface also is advocated. This bill passed the house and soon will be reported to the senate. Answering charges that additional safety regulations would increase mining costs, Joseph Timco, representing the United Mine Workers of America, declared that “if wfe have come to the place where operations have to be carried on at the expense of human life, we are slipping badly.”

Mother to 47!

City Woman Claims 30 as Own Adopted.

MOTHER to thirty children and guardian to seventeen others is the claim made today by an Indianapolis Negro woman. In a successful fight before Municipal Judge Dan V. White to collect $125 from the Metropolitan Insurance Company for a policy on one of the forty-seven children she reared, Mrs. Grettha Evans, 51, of 1718 Martindale avenue, today testified her experience as a mother extended thirty-eight years. During this time, she testified, she gave birth to three pairs of twins, three sets of triplets, and two sets of quadruplets. Os the thirty children, five Were boys and twenty-five were girls, she said. Several died in infancy, while all but six were claimed by death before the age of 16. Six children still are living, and majority of the seventeen wards are living, she testified. In her suit against the insurance company, Mrs. Evans collected the money on the ground that one of the boys disappeared seven years ago. This, her attorneys contended, legally classed the lad as being dead. White ordered the money paid to Mrs. Evans.

City Man Plays Part in Iraq Oil Field Conquest

Monumental Task Is Faced: Herrington Tells Vivid Story of Project. Gradual conquest of the Syrian desert to give to the world the wealth of Iraq oil fields was described Tuesday night by Colonel A. W. Herrington, president of the Marmon-Herrington Truck Company, Inc., local manufacturers of heavy duty trucks, in an illustrated address at the monthly meeting of the Marmon Foremen’s Club. Colonel Herrington recently returned from the near east, where he accompanied a Marmon-Herring-ton truck on its delivery to the Iraq Petroleum Company, an international syndicate holding concession on valuable oil fields there. The truck was designed especially for use by the petroleum company in laying a 600-mile pipe line to carry oil from the field to the seaccast. Motion pictures of the truck in operation and actual construction work on the pipe line were taken on the trip and exhibited Tuesday night at the meeting. Project on Vast Scale Description of the work calls for terms of international politics, expenditure of millions of dollars, and the combined brains of the world’s best known engineers and the brawn of hundreds of workmen. Under the terms of the concession obtained by the syndicate from the Persian government, any improvements made in the country will revert to Persia at expiration of the lease, according to Herring-

ton. Faced with the necessity of operating at utmost speed to obtain maximum production as early as possible, it soon was decided that existing means of transportation were impracticable when millions of dollars were at stake. First consideration was for construction of a railroad across the desert to eliminate the tedious water roue of about 2,000 miles. Thousands Spent in Experiments Thousands of dollars were spent in experimental work, as engineers and accountants collaboratd on cost tables. An appalling total was reached in figuring the cost of railroad construction and maintenance on shifting sands where a windstorm of an hour's duration changes the entire terrain. Solution was sought in the ex r perience of American engineers in Texas and Oklahoma oil fields, where pipe lines have been used successfully for years. Another elaborate tabulation of costs followed, in which Colonel Herrington assisted with estimates of transportation schedules by motor truck, a job for which he w r as fitted excellently by his World war experience as con-

This truck was delivered late last year and now is operating daily in a heat which sometimes reaches as high as 130 degrees, Herrington said. Because of the high sulphur content in the only available gasoline, it is impossible to operate a motor vehicle having copper fittings, Harrington said. Less than an hour's operation will result in clogging of the lines with coppeh sulphate. Brass fittings were used in the Marmon-Herrington truck. Prior to leaving Indianapolis, the truck was tested by A. A. A. officials at the speedway, where a test load equivalent to a load of pipe was placed on the truck and its two special trailers, and carried around the track for 100 miles at an average speed of about thirty miles an hour. Motion pictures of the test also were shown at the meeting. The program was in charge of Ted Collier, Marmon Motor Car Company service manager. A series of impersontations was given by E. O. Snethen, local attorney. B. F. Fithian sang.

COURT POOR PLACE FOR BACK PATS—6 MONTHS Young Man Learns That Congratulations Are Not in Order. Criminal court is no place to offer congratulations to fellow prisoners, Albert Birch, 23, learned Tuesday when he appeared before Judge Frank P. Baker. Friends were seeking leniency for Birch, who pleaded guilty to theft of $lO worth of ink from the Keystone Press. A lull came over the courtroom when Baker began questioning Birch. “I saw you congratulate a fellow prisoner, when he was sentenced to the state farm for six months. You think that is a light sentence, don't you?” Baker asserted. Birch started to explain, but the court interrupted again. “Well, if you think it's so light, you can have the same sentence,” Baker ruled. Birch must not only serve six months on the state farm, but is ordered to report on probation to Baker when he completes his term.

BILL TO SOLVE LOAN PROBLEM BEINGDRAFTED Finance Company Speakers Declare 2 Per Cent Interest Too Low. Before the end of the week, th house of representatives is expected to receive a bill designed to solve problems arising from the petty loan business. The bill, of which Representative Leo M. Gardner (Dem„ Indianapolis), is the author, is a companion measure to one reorganizing the set-up of laws governing state financial institutions. The reorganization bill was passed by the house Monday. Gardner is chairman of the house committee on banks and trust funds, before which the petty loan business was discussed at a meeting Tuesday. The proposed bill provides for a study of the small loan business by the department of financial institutions created by the reorganizaj tion measure and grants the departi ment power to fix interest rates.

Reduced by Senate Bill At present a rate of 3’i per cent a month can be charged for loans. This is reduced to 2 per cent in a bill passed by the senate. Loan company representatives, who appeared before the committee. asserted that any change in interest rates must provide a sliding scale, so that a relatively higher rate could be charged for smaller leans than those around S3OO. Had a 2 per cent rate been in effect in 1932. the Household Finance Corporation would have lost $35,000 in its eight offices in this state, according to a representative. F. L. Thompson of Chicago, one of the speakers before the committee. Thompson sought to show that profits had been small, due to high overhead and losses suffered as a result of the depression.

Opposition from Pursley Opposition to the 2 per cent rate was expressed also by Alex Pursley of Hartford City, Fifth district Democratic chairman. He asserted that a loan company operating fifteen offices in the state would be forced out of business if a 2 per cent rate is put into effect. Senator William P. Dennigan (Dem., Vincennes), is author of the bill which passed in the senate —by a margin of one vote, after having failed of a constitutional majority when first placed on passage. It is understood that the house bank committee intends to recommend indefinite. postponement of the Dennigan bill and two others of house origin, one setting a rate of 2 per cent, the other V-, and substitute the bill sponsored by Gardner. HOUSE BACKS SILVER Adopt Resolutions Urging Congress For Money Action. Resolution memoralizing Congress to monetize silver was adoptet Tuesday by the house of representatives.
