DEATHS DUE TO OPERATIONS ARE FEW IN NATION Modern Surgical Methods Held Responsible for Fatality Drop. B. Kcirnrr, Nervier CHICAGO, July 6.—More than a million surgical operations a year now are performed in the United States, with few resulting deaths. This high figure was cited by Dr. George Crile, well-known surgeon of the Cleveland clinic, in an address at the American Association for the Advancement of Science meeting here. Telling what has been achieved in the past century and what lies ahead in the next, Dr. Crile said that one hundred years ago there were no surgical dressings. The Xray was undiscovered. There was no skin grafting. Tonsils were not removed. Brain tumors were not disturbed. There were no operations to remove gall stones. Infection was not controlled. Working without anesthetics, the surgeon of a hundred years ago had to depend on a swift knife and hot iron, a steady hand and quick intuition. “It was the art of a swordsman rather than of a scientist,” said Dr. Crile. Surgery has become more conservative and no longer does its chief work amputating limbs and cutting violently into human anatomy. Today, Dr. Crile said, every organ and tissue in the body is subjected to surgery, and the work so delicately and precisely is done that shock, hemorrhage, and infection are reduced remarkably. A prediction that there will be fewer operations in the coming century was made by the surgeon, who said that biochemistry and biophysics will tend to supplant the surgeon’s scalpel. Present day theories, he said, will give way to mathematical equations, which will express the nature of protoplasm. Surgery rapidly is becoming an exact science. INJUNCTION SUITS TO BE HEARD IN U. S. COURTS Hearings in 3 Suits Against State Will Be Held June 12 and 13. Announcement of federal judges who July 12 and 13 will conduct hearings in three injunction suits against the state administration was made today by Federal Judge Robert C. Baltzell.

The following day, hearing will be conducted on suit of Walter O. Wetzel, former auto license bureau manager at South Bend, contesting the right of the state administration to end his services with removal of the license division from the secretary of state to the new state finance department. Another case set for the same day is that of the Northern Indiana Public Service Company seeking to enjoin the Indiana public service commission from enforcing a 15cent gas rate cut at South Bend.
CALL TROOPS TO BLOCK PRISON CAMP RIOTING Florida Soldiers Stationed Near Scene of Outbreak. B;/ I nitcii Press BROOKSVILLE. Fla., July 6.

For the first time since the state tax board was founded there will be no counties certified for classification reassessment it was announced today by Philip Zoercher, board chairman. In other years it has been customary to summon county officials to the statehouse and insist that they readjust assessments on various classes of property, deemed by the state board to be unequal. Number of counties in which changes have been made ranged from two to twenty or more in various years. Zoercher said all assessments made locally are satisfactory this year. Certain individual taxpayers will be summoned to explain their assessments beginning Aug. 3, he announced. Asthma and Hay Fever Disappear Like Magic!

U, S. STEFS IN TO PREVENT ALL BIG PRICE HIKES Wallace Takes First Move in Opening War on lowa Bakers. BY MAX STERN Times Special Writer WASHINGTON. July 6.—Big price increases such as agriculture Secretary Henry A. Wallace protested against in the case of the lowa Bakers’ Association s 3-cent a pound bread price boost, will not be permitted by the govemrrfent. This became clear today when it was learned that Attorney-General Homer Cummings is preparing to issue a warniiM| statement, and then to move againOT Violators of the antitrust law. Attorney-General Cummings has the case of the lowa Bakers under consideration. A similar price rise is contemplated, it is said, by California and other bakers, who see in the wheat price rise and the equalization fee an opportunity to raise bread prices out of proportion to incrased costs. Prepared to Use Powers As pointed out by Wallace, the ; President, under the recovery act, | and the agriculture department, under the agriculture adjustment act, are empowered to “prevent unreasonable advances in retail prices.” Wallace says his department is “prepared to use” its powers. Showing the attitude of the government are President Roosevelt’s statement on signing the recovery act an General Hugh Johnson’s warning of June 25. “We are relaxing some of the safeguards of the anti-trust laws,” declared President Roosevelt when he signed the act. “The public must be protected against the abuses that led to their enactment. . . . Let me make it clear, however, that the anti-trust laws still stand firmly against monopolies that restrain trade and price-fixing which allows inordinate profits or unfairly high prices.” “No Time to Get Rich Quick” “This is a deadly serious matter —this danger of runaway prices,” said General Johnson, the national industry recovery act administrator. “There still are about 12,000,000 unemployed in this country, and even those who still have jobs largely are on much reduced incomes.” “Any wildcat price lifting will have its first bearing directly on the very creature necessities of these unfortunates—their means to keep out hunger, thirst and cold. This administration simply will not stand for that and we do not expect to have any trouble about it. “Our best people understand this is no time to get rich quick. It is the time to pull our country out of a hole.” Gone, but Not Forgotten Automobiles reported to police as stolen belong to: Nannie Walker. 813 Muskingum street.
