LOW WAGE IS PERIL, ASSERTS INDUSTRY ‘BOSS' Pay Must Be Kept in Line With Prices, Johnson Tells Coal Men. By T nitrrl Press CHICAGO, June 17.—The danger of an economic relapse in this "critical stage of the depression’ unless wages are brought into line with ascending prices was pointed out to the National Coal Association Friday night by General Hugh Johnson in his first public statement after his official appointment as administrator of the industrial control bill. Shortly before General Johnson’s brief, extemporaneous address was relayed from Pittsburgh, a working code by which the coal industry will operate under the control bill was accepted by nineteen of the nation's leading operators. Johason was flying to Chicago from Washington for the address when dense fog forced the plane to halt at Pittsburgh. Arrangements were made for transmitting the address by radio and Johnson spoke without a manuscript.

Chance to Keep In Step "The President today signed the recovery bill and appointed me the administrator,” he said. "It is a responsible position and I accept it with solemn regard. “The President also gave the country his policy governing this work. The act is a charter of a new industrial self-government for this country. "I think we would have come to such a step, even if we never had had a depression. It is the dislocation between what we produce, and our power to buy and consume, which makes and prolongs a depression. “What we have here for the first time is a chance to keep production and purchasing power in this country more nearly in step with each other—and they are far out of step today. “I think we are at a critical stage of the depression. Improvement is here beyond a doubt. But prices have risen so much faster than wages that unless we can get purchasing pow'er promptly in the hands of industry, there is danger of a relapse. Points Out the Way "The President has pointed the way to prevent this. The idea is simply that employers hire more men to do the existing work by reducing the working# hours of each man’s week, at the same time paying a living wage for the shorter week.” The coal men’s code, adopted after the industry’s leaders had considered difficult problems arising out of union and nonunion production fields, outlaws unfair competition, outlines a program for establishment of coal prices and wages in regional mining sections, eliminates unfair trade practices, and sets up standard contracts and coal grading for all parts of the country. C. E. Bockus, New York, was elected president of the Coal Operators’ Association. Meanwhile, representatives of virtually all the naton’s petroleum producing companies prepared a code of operation to be submitted today. The code was drawn up by a subcommittee Friday night. BANDING OF BIRDS IS HELPFUL TO SCIENCE Valuable Data Compiled as Result of U. S.-Canada Agreement. B.u Tunes Special MONTREAL. June 10.—The banding of young birds, carried on as a joint effort by the governments of the United States and Canada under provisions of the migratory birds convention, is resulting in the compilation of valuable data. Last fall a resident of Bradore Bay, in northeastern Quebec, shot a drake pintale which bore a small aluminum band on one of its wings. This band was stamped with a Danish name and address, which he sent to a member of the migratory bird taff of the department of the in- . £rior at Ottawa. An investigation by that department proved that the bird had been banded as a duckling on June 30, 1930 in Alaldal, northern Iceland. In its investigations the government is being assisted by all major organizations interested in game protection.

DOCTORS HOLD FINALSESSIONS Many of Delegates to Go to World’s Fair for ‘Medical Week.’ BY JULIAN T. BENTLEY Staff Correspondent MILWAUKEE, June 17. Final sessions of the American Medical Association’s eighty-fourth annual convention were held here Friday, winding up a five-day study of the battle against disease by the nation’s leading physicians. Many of the 5.000 delegates at the convention here said they would go to Chicago next week for "Medical week” at the world's fair, and to attend the convention there of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. In the concluding sectional meetings today, Dr. Luke Hunt of the John McCormick Institute for Infectious Diseases, Chicago, described new discoveries in treatment of scarlet fever. The disease, Dr. Hunt reported, is much less severe and complications are less likely to develop if scarlet fever antitoxin is given within the first two days after illness appears. In a study of 2,000 cases, Dr. Hunt said, anti-toxin was administered to 900 in the first two days, resulting in immediate decline in fever and fading of rash.

Verdict in Mystery Death of Athlete Still Awaited

Two Probes Apparently Never Completed; New Quiz Is On. Despite hints of foul play, a coroner’s verdict has not been returned in the case of Von Donald Taylor, 31, of 925 Leland avenue, former athlete, who was found injured fatally in front of his home March 18. That a verdict has not been filed was revealed today after three separate investigations of the case apparently never were completed. According to stories told police after Taylor was found, he and his wife and another couple had engaged in a so-called "friendly” argument during a bridge game at the Taylor home. Found Near Death Mrs. Taylor has told authorities that her husband had been drinking and after the Ralph Smocks, the other couple, departed, Taylor fell and later struck her. She says she then ran from the house. Taylor was found near death in the street several hours later. Dr. John E. Wyttenbach, deputy coroner, has conducted the county investigation of the case, but has not filed a verdict. Today he declined to comment on the status of the case. The police investigation apparently lagged after the demotion of Morris Corbin, then a detective sergeant, to a patrolman. May Await Verdict The third probe of the case is being conducted by a firm of attorneys representing Taylor’s family. The attorneys told The Times that their quiz is not completed and they probably will await return of the coroner’s verdict before taking action. The estate of the dead man has been filed in probate court and is said to consist mostly of insurance. Examination of the body indicated that Taylor either was struck or fell in such a manner as to cause a terrific blow on the side of his head.

AUTO PRODUCTION BEST IN 22 MONTHS May Total Shows Gain of 23 Per Cent. By United Press NEW YORK, June 17. Last month's production of motor cars by companies belonging to the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce was the highest in twenty-two months, totaling 172,883 units, the chamber reported Friday. This total represents a gain of 23 per cent over April and was 51 per cent greater than in the corresponding month of 1932. For the first five months of this year, members of the organization showed a total output of 605,739 cars, compared with 584,505 cars in the corresponding months of last year. Since factory operations still are being controlled closely by retail sales, the report was viewed by the chamber as the most encouraging in many months. Alvin Macauley, president of the Packard Motor Car Company, was re-elected president of the organization. MURDER CONFESSION IS BRANDED PERJURY Prosecutor Assails Story in in Death Case. By United Press SULLIVAN, Ind., June 17.—The confession that Frank Vanderpool, 38, Hymera, killed two men for whose deaths he and five others were arrested, was branded “perjury” by Prosecutor Rex Bridwell today. “Defense attorneys are attempting to try a case in the newspapers after it had been lost in the courtroom,” Bridwell said. The statement, signed by Vanderpool and exonerating five co-de-fendants in connection with the slaying of Andy Reedy, 60, and his son, Oral, 28, was released to newspapers two days ago. It was said the father and the son were shot by Vanderpool during a fight over a mortgage foreclosure against Otis Turner, convicted three siut which the lder Reedy had filed weeks ago on charges of murder in connection with the case.

Okla., June 10.—The old popular belief that it is necessary to split a crow's tongue to enable it to learn to talk is fallacious, said Dr. W. E. Ayres, pet fancier. Crows can be trained to talk the same as parrots, but without touching the tongue, he explained. But not all crows, will talk and even those that will require much time and patience from the teacher. The best method. Dr. Ayres said, is to catch your crow while it is young and constantly work and talk with it, keeping it away from other crows. Dr. Ayres has experimented with nine crows. Only one learned to talk. AGED WRITER QUITS Woman, 84, Rural Newspaper Correspondent for 28 Years. By United Press APPLETON CITY. Mo., June 15.

CHILD HEALTH FUNDS VITAL, CITYWARNED Appropriation Must Not Be Cut One Penny, Says Dr. Morgan. When Dr. Herman Morgan, secretary of the city board of health, appears before the city council in August he will demand an amount of money equal to last year's appropriation for school health and pre-school age care, during the school term to open in September. “The board of health can not afford to operate on a penny less next term,” said Dr. Morgan today, “Every cent expended for the health of Indianapolis children is vital." Dr. Morgan will ask for $62,000 appropriation for school health and an additional SIB,OOO for infant and pre-school age care. Health Situation Better "Last year when I presented a similar budget to the council one of the members asked if I could not cut some of the $62,000 item out to reduce the appropriation,” said Dr. Morgan. “I told him that it could be done if he w r ere willing to see the ravages of diphtheria, scarlet fever, and other diseases return j with the appalling mortality of a decade ago.” Despite economic conditions, Dr. Morgan declares that the health situation among school children today is better than a year ago. He attributes this condition to a system designed to reach and study the needs of individual children. “Nutritional classes attended by more than 1,000 children have been a big factor in advancing the general health of the school city,” he declared. Kept In Class 12 Weeks Children found underweight for their height are taken into the nutritional classes for twelve weeks, where they are watched carefully and charts kept on their progress. “When they reach the required weight, they are given certificates and sent back to their regular classes. Medical efforts in the groups of children of pre-school age and infants were cited as factors which have put Indianapolis in the upper brackets of improved child health in the nation in the last decade. Nurses and doctors are assigned to work among the 3,000 children in kindergartens. These children are immunized annually against diphtheria, smallpox and other children’s maladies. They are given dental care and records are kept of height and weight. 700 Prize Babies In City "We had 700 blue and red ribbon babies in Indianapolis last year,” Dr. Morgan declared proudly. “That means that there were 700 infants who were almost perfect, or had very minor defects, easily rectified.” Dr. Morgan said that he would endeavor to increase the amount of milk distributed to undernourished school children next year. “The health department dispenses several hundred quarts of milk daily,” he said, “and our milk bill is large. In May the trustees distributed about 6,000 quarts of milk daily. That’s a lot of milk. But, still, it’s not enough. Next year, I intend to see that every child in the schools gets a proper quota of milk.” 1

CANADA TO RESTORE LOUISBURG FORTRESS Famed Strongholder Captured in 1745 by New Englanders. By Times Special LOUISBURG, N. S., June 10. Restoration of the old fortress of Louisburg, in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, captured by an expeditionary force from New England in 1745, is being undertaken by government engineers, according to information received by the tourist department of the Canadian National Railways. The fort, built by the French in 1700, was at one time the strongest in North America and its capture by the expeditionary force from New England was one of the major military exploits of the eighteenth century. Engineers in charge of the work of restoration are keeping in touch with those who are undertaking some colonial restoration work in Virginia and the interchange of date concerning discoveries that are being made is proving helpful to both projects. OX-CART TO AIRPLANE Veteran Utah Merchant Rode West in 1870: Flies East in 1933. By United Press SALT LAKE CITY. Utah, June 10.—From ox-cart to airplane is the span of travel modes used by Charles Shields, veteran Utah merchant and mining man. Shields came to Utah by ox-cart in 1870 and the other day, when starting a journey back to his native Ireland, left by airplane. “It seems queer,” Shields said, “that I can now fly to St. Louis in a few hours. My first trip from there to here took months.” DUCKS ROUT MUSKRATS Gain Uncontested Right to Use Log for Nesting Purposes. By United Press WHITEFISH, Mont., June 15.

Tragedy of Old Age Is Revealed by Death Pact By United Press EVANSVILLE, Ind., June 17.—A tragedy of old age was revealed Friday as officials investigated the apparent suicide of Charles C. Scheer, 72, and the wounding of his 70-year-old wife. Scheer was found dead in a bedroom of his home. On a dresser near his body was a revolver. His wife lay beside the bed, critically wounded. Physicians fear she will not recover.

Two shots had been fired from the gun. Scheer had been a school janitor and park custodian, but had had little work during the last five years. He watched his small savings dwindle steadily. On May 1, a SSOO mortgage on the elderly couple’s home was foreclosed. Scheer was directed to file an answer next Tuesday to a suit asking that he pay $24 monthly rent, or vacate his home. The tragedy was discovered by neighbors who recalled that they had not seen Mr. and Mrs. Scheer Thursday. Police said they were convinced that the aged couple chose the easiest way out of their financial difficulties. They believed * that Scheer agreed to kill his wife and then himself.

Luckless Lou Survives Speedway Peril; New Car Struck by Farmer’s Truck.

But driving quietly down a street at a city gait in the roadster he won in the race, Mayer’s car was struck by a farmer’s truck. A fender was nicked. Mrs. Meyer and their child were shaken up. “Here’s $2, all I got, for the fender,” proffered the farmer. “Nothing doing! Put in your pocket. It’d be a black cat to me in the next big race,” retorted Louis, as he shifted gears and continued his trip with his nicked coupe to his home in Huntington Park, Cal.

MAJOR CHANGES AT STATEHOUSE SEEN AS ENDED Few Still on Pay Rolls to Be Ousted, Is Opinion at Capitol. Major changes, with the exception of the state industrial board, have been made by the McNutt administration and all but a few now on statehouse pay rolls will remain. This was the view expressed at the office of Governor Paul V. McNutt Friday regarding final reorganisation of the state government to be complete July 1. McNutt announced reappointment of Philip Zoercher, veteran Democratic tax board chairman, and Gaylord S. Morton as the Republican member. Morton, secretary to former Governor Harry G. Leslie, was named to the tax board by Leslie upon the death of John J. Brown. He has had years of statehouse service under the various Republican administrations. A popular politician, he has many friends in both parties. Hoy long Zoercher will remain is speculative, it having been predicted that former Senator Anderson Ketchum. secretary of the board, eventually may be moved up to a Democratic board membership. The other Democratc tax board member is Albert F. Walsman, former member of the house. Estimate has been given that 1.000 fewer persons are on the pay rolls of the state under the McNutt regime than under that of his Republican predecessor. But whole new departments have been added, such as excise and sales tax offices, employing around 150. IGNORANCE IS BLISS Duck Builds Nest to Rear Family on Roof of Hunter’s Blind.
