U.S.CHURCHES AGAIN SHATTER MEMBER MARKS All Records Fall in Year: 929,252 Are Enrolled During 1932. /?;/ T vitrij f'rruK NEW YORK, June 12—Church membership in the United Sttaes has reached its greatest total in history during the last year, according to an annual compilation announced today by the Christian Herald. The statistics, prepared by Dr. George Linn Kieffer, show that churches and religious bodies gained 920,252 members during 1932, these members being 13 or over. The total membership of churches in the United States reached 50.037,209, according to the report, and the twenty-five largest Protestant bodies showed a gain of 921,941. Baptists Again Lead The publication declares that growth in church membership steadily has outstripped growth in the country's population. In one generation from 1900 to 1933 church membership increased from 27,383,000 to 50,037.209. This represents a gain of 82.8 per cent as against a population gain of 65.8 per cent. The Baptist church, with an increase during 1932 of 347,353, again led all denominations in gains. Other denominations which showed impressive gains were the eastern Catholics, with an increase of 222,237: the Methodists, with a gain of 94.607, and the Lutherans, with a gain of 53,523. In spite of the depression, churches made a good financial showing during 1932, the report states. Contributions for all church purposes were $19.02 per capita, as compared with $22.62 in the previous year. Greatest Going Concern The per capita contributions for benevolences in 1932 were $3.12 as compared with $3.71 in 1931. It is pointed out. in connection with these slight financial decreases, that since 1929 one out of every six banks has failed, one out of every forty-five hosiptals has closed, one out of every tw'enty-two business and industrial companies ha-s become bankrupt, and that only one of every 2,344 churches has closed its doors. The Christian Herald states, in summing up the statistical survey, that the church “still is the nation’s greatest going concern.'’

Elliott Roosevelt, Rebel of Big Family, on Divorce Trail

'HMIMSMIf IRMHI

Handsome and Athletic, He Makes Own Way in Business World. Bij Y/v’.l Srrvice NEW YORK, June 12.—They’ve been a model family—the Roosevelts. A close and companionable entity, individual independence, collectively liberal, each leading his or her own life pretty much as preference dictated. In addition to being the First Family of the Land, they have represented in the mind of an interested public a truly typical American family, with no single rift in the even tenor of its life through generations. Thus the impending divorce action of the Elliott Roosevelts brings the first hint of discord that has marred the comradeship of the four living generations. Yet even this apparently is to be consummated with the traditional Rooseveltian candor and a quiet honesty that promises to disarm the whole affair of unpleasantries. Elliott Is Family Rebel But with the second-eldest son of the President seeking freedom from his young wife, it becomes clear that handsome, athletic Elliott is the family rebel, the least tolerant of conventions of the whole tolerant group. It was Elliott w ; ho got into the most scrapes as a youngster. It was Elliott who flatly refused to attend college. And it w r as Elliott who turned aside from the paths of the other Roosevelt men to blaze his own trail, at 20, in the advertising business. He was the most pleasure-loving of the five children of Franklin Roosevelt, and yet the least conscious of his inherent social position. He liked to pick his ow r n friends, to mingle unrecognized with the crowds at theaters and prize fights, to spend W'eek-ends with gay young crowds at country resorts, and to rough it in the west during summer vacations, working his way like any ordinary youngster. Attended Exclusive School As had his brother James and their father before them, Elliott attended Groton school at Groton, Mass. It is so exclusive that the children of old families are registered for enrollment when they are born —an Episcopalian institution of monastic simplicity and discipline. Elliott Roosevelt didn’t take very kindly to this environment. He never became a senior perfect as* his brother had done. He detested Latin and Greek, skimmed through these courses by a slim margin, but delighted chiefly in schoolboy pranks and in athletics. There may some significance in the fact that when Elliott's own M?n was born last November, application was not made for his entrance in Groton. From Groton, the second Roosevelt son went to the Hun school in Princeton. N. J„ to prepare for a college career. In fact, he passed his entrance examinations for Prince-

ton. then suddenly startled his family and friends by declaring that he wouldn't enter after all. He wanted to get out into the world and make his own way. And get out he did. Elliott and James both spent many summers on western ranches. One such expedition, made by Elliott and two school friends, went broke in Jackson Hole, Wyo. Unwilling to wire home for money, the boys found jobs as ordinary ranch hands. It was op one of these western trips that Elliott met an influential New York advertising executive, who offered him a job. "I knew I couldn't possibly be worth any such salary as he mentioned,” young Roosevelt said later. “So I made up my mind to come back and get my own job and get paid on my own merits.” So he turned down the lucrative job, went to another agency where he had no friends, and started at the bottom. It was along about this time that he met pretty Miss Elizabeth Donner, daughter of a Pennsylvania steel manufacturer. She was only 19, and he was 20. But it seemed to be love at first

Editors Start Final Lap of State-Wide Jaunt

Head North After Pausing

Here; Leader Returns From East.

After a "Dutch” breakfast and visit T to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, members of the National Editorial Association started north today on the final 400 miles of their state tour. The editors and their wives stoppped at the Claypool Sunday night, after traveling 600 miles through southern and central Indiana. Returning from New' York W'here he conferred with other newspaper association leaders, Walter D. Allen of Brookline, Mass., association president, expressed belief that newspapers could not be classed as industries under provisions of the pending national recovery act. The N. E. A. will retain its entity as an organization of country newspapers. Directors have decided the association should not be submerged with any general grouping of large daily newspapers under terms of the industrial control measure. Directors will meet at Chicago following the tour and will formulate a definite policy concerning the industrial bill. The tour will end at Chicago Tuesday where delegates will attend the Century of Progress exposition.

sight when they were introduced at a dance in a summer hotel in Northeast Harbor, Me. Elliott's vacation was a brief one, but his courtship progressed swiftly. He and Miss Donner were engaged before he went back to his job in New York. And there was a big wedding the following January. His own parents had married young, and they saw no reason to oppose Elliott's early marriage, since he already was launched in business. That was in January, 1932. The following November a son was born to the young couple, and Elliott was the happiest of fathers. By this time he had advanced to a minor executiveship in the financial advertising department of another concern. But with the political triumph of his father, Elliott found himself covered with reflected glory and— worst of all —with patronage. He felt that much of the business he brought the firm was tainted with politics. And so, still bent on personal independence, he gave up his position and went to California as manager of an air line.

AIM NEW SUITS AT INCOME TAX LAW Several Test Cases May Be Filed Within Week. Several test cases, each attacking a provision of the state gross income tax law. are expected to be filed in county courts within the next week. More than two months ago, a friendly suit was filed by the Indianapolis Real Estate board in superior court five, attacking the validity of the entire law. A second suit, seeking judicial interpretation on certain provisions of the law', was filed Saturday by the J. D. Adams Company, road equipment manufacturers. It is understood that other firms and associations will each select several provisions as basis for suits. Superior Judge Russell J. Ryan, with whom all suits to date have been filed, said every effort would be made to expedite hearings. GIRL BADLY BEATEN; ESCORT IS ACCUSED Tells Police She Will Sign Assault Affidavit. Miss Loretta Rogers, 24, of 2420 ' West Walnut street, was taken to city hospital early today, a gash in the back of her head, a bruised nose, and a possible fracture of one arm, as the result of a beating she said she received at the hands of her escort. Miss Rogers said she, her escort and another couple started out together Sunday night and after stopping at a Negro booze joint drove to Fort Harrison. During the ride, she said, the other girl missed $5 and Miss Rogers’s escort accused her of taking it. Miss Rogers said she was "beaten i up” and hurled into a ditch, where j she lay for some time until her com- j panions decided to bring her back to Indianapolis. She was let out at Market and New Jersey streets and later taken to city hospital by police. Miss Rogers said her escort, a reputed i bootlegger whom she has knowm five j years, threatened to “beat her up every time he saw her,” if she reported the slugging to police.

NINE DIE WHEN PLANE CRASHES AT WORLD FAIR Passengers and Pilots Are Trapped in Flaming Ruin of Craft. (Continued From Page One) at the fair and may have been from distant pans of the country. In that event, identification could not be completed until they are reported missing by relatives or friends. Sunday afternoon motorists saw the huge plane, once owned by Samuel Insull, wobble in the air and plunge to the ground as a wing crumpled. Victims not killed by the crash died when fire enveloped the torn ship, sending flames nearly a hundred feet into the air. Heat Balks Rescue Witnesses rushed to the scene, but intense heat prevented rescue. One woman apparently attempted to leap from the cabin just before the plane crashed, and arms, of others extended from the wreckage, beckoning for help, witnesses said. John Miller, policeman, saw the crash. “I was sitting at the tennis court of the Glenview Country Club, when I heard the plane and looked up.” he said. “There seemed to be something wrong. The wing snapped. The plane fell and there was a terrific crash. “The ship landed 200 feet from the road and about 500 feet from where I was sitting. As I ran toward it, the wreckage burst into flames with an explosion. Tongues of flame leaped many feet into the air. The sight was sickening.” “I heard no screams, but as I approached as close as I dared to the flaming wreckage, I saw a man’s hand extended from one of the windows. The fingers opened and shut rapidly at first, but gradually stopped moving and then searing flames reached the hand.” The siane, the Northern Light, was making its second passenger flight of the day. A sudden squall had blown up a few minutes before, making Lake Michigan choppy and rough. Goes Back Into Air . Vickery completed the customary twenty minutes’ flight and came down into the harbor. A pontoon touched the surface for a moment and then Vickery shot the ship back into the air. A moment later he attempted a second landing. This time a pontoon dipped deep into the water, and the ship lurched. Attendants at the port said they heard a ripping sound. At first they believed a pontoon was damaged, but later decided the right wing had cracked. Vickery apparently heard the crack and, fearing a pontoon was injured, sent the plane back into the air. He started for the airport at Glenview, w ? here he probably thought he could make a safer landing. As the plane neared Glenview, it w T as flying at approximately 150 feet. There was a sharp crack and the right wing snapped off. The plane wobbled over housetops, then dived headlong into a field. The tw'o Wasp engines sank deep into the ground and the wreckage caught fire.

DOCTDRSFAVOR STATE CONTROL OF NARCOTICS Uniform Laws Advocated to Increase Efficiency, at Association Session. MILWAUKEE, -June 12.—Control of narcotic drugs should be a function of state rather than federal government, the legal department of the American Medical Association reported at the annual meeting which opened here this morning. A uniform narcotic law. such as recently has been adopted by Indiana, Nevada and New York, was urged by this committee. Efficient state control will be better able than federal control to prevent abuse of these drugs, according to the report. Doctors of the future are going to know their economics and the business side of medicine, it appears. No longer will the saying be true that physicians along with other •professional men are not socially minded and have no knowledge of economics.
