NRA VIOLATORS TO FEEL STING OF PUNISHMENT Recovery Director Calls on Washington to Give . Specific Instructions. Francis Wells, Indiana representative of the United States deportment of commerce, todav requested Washington to send more specific instructions for handling of violators of the NRA. Well* said his move was prompted by a desire to show a flagrant violators of the NRA program that lhe recovers- act. ''really had teeth " He will turn the intructi->ns from Washington over to the newly appointed mediation board. Widespread violation of NRA codes t>v restaurants is causing concern among state and local recovery leaders. Wells announced today. Many Violate Agreement Reports reaching recovery headquarters here indicated that only about 10 per cent of the restaurants are complying with their signed agreements, according to Wells. Little heed apparently was paid to a warning issued bv Wells several weeks ago that restaurants, either must comply with the terms of the recovery program or remove the blue eagle insignia. Seven men have been selected to sit as a board of recommendation on complaints that can not be handled by persuasive or educational methods. T. M. Overley, colonel' of the local bureau of compliance and complaints, will act as chairman of the mediation board. Other members are Harry O. Chamberlin. former judge of Marion circuit court; Robert Fox. of the Central Labor Union; Paul Q Richer. president of the Russel M. Seeds Companv; Curtis M. Rottger. former president of the Indiana Bell Telephone Company; George S. olive, certified public accountant; Frank Burke, assistant to Wells, will be the seventh man. Will Punish Violators In cases where firms refuse to comply with the NRA program and refuse to surrender the blue eagle insignia when their violations have lieen explained to them, the will recommend publicly that their insignia he removed by the federal government "The committee appointed today simpiv is a fact-finding body and. in no sense a court," said Overley. “It will serve in an advisory capacity on policy with reference to handling of complaints and will hear evidence in connection with complaints that can not be adjusted by explanation.” All complaints will be adjusted secretly, except those in which the persons i omplained against deliberately refuse to co-operate when informed of their violations.

Many Are Discarded In speaking of possible removal of blue eagles from firms which refuse to live up to the NRA program atfer a clear explanation of the recovery act has been made to them. Overley said: • I do not believe removal of the blue eagle vul! be necessary in one out of 100 cases. In fact, the seriousness of the complaint situation has been much exaggerated. There were, in all. about 500 complaints on file. Os these. 263 were anonymous or did not give anv date as to violations, but merely wished to have certain companies in\estimated. They have been discarded.” Wells frequently has said that he had received ‘about 1.000 complaints.” He stated Friday that he considered “about 100 of them esrious enough to engage the attention of a mediation board. More than 300 complaints have boen adiusted bv explanations due to misunderstandings, according to Wells. Personnel Is Completed Frank Phillips, president of the Phillips prtroleum Company wired The Indianapolis Times from Bartlesville. Okla., today that his company had completed addition of 3000 employes to its personnel in accordance with NRA provisions. Stating that 3.000 men and an annual pay roll of $3,000,000 had been affected. Phillips said he had been deluged with job applications. He made the announcement that the firms additional employment program had been completed.” to save hundreds from possible disappointment.” Indianapolis office of the oil company is at 644 East Maple Road.

NEGRO ROBBER 1 SUSPECT SLAIN BY POLICEMAN Sergeant Yoh Shoots Down Fugitive When He Draws Gun. A scant half-hour after he took part in the holdup of a street car operator, an unidentified Negro youth way shot dead Friday night near the intersection of College avenue and Eleventh street. The slain bandit was shot by Police Sergeant Kenneth Yoh, after j the Negro stopped during his flight, ! turned and drew a revolver. He j ran a few steps, then plunged through a basement window of the Utomin apartments, 1108 College avenue. Car Operator Held Up He was found dead, the bullet having passed through h's heart. Two Negroes held up Arnold Hoover. 40, of 518 North New Jersey street, operator of an Indiana-Co-lumbia avenue street car, at Massachusetts and Cornell avenues at 8:46 p. m. They took his money changer and some money and tokens from his pockets. A comprehensive description of the pair was broadcast, A few minutes later, Yoh and his squad, consisting of patrolmen Ralph Chambers and Orville Quinette, drew up beside a pair of Negroes, near the scene of the slaying, who answered the description, and ordered them to halt. The pair fled. One Negro ran south, the other north. Chambers and Quinette started after the southward-bound man, Yoh after the one running north. When the Negro darted into an area way and drew his gun and snapped the trigger twice, Yoh fired. Gun Beside Body Beside his body was found the j revolver. In his pockets were found : twenty-three nickels, thirty-three pennies, two dimes, and fifty-one car tokens, part of the loot. The description of the dead youth tallies in some respects with that of the Negro seen prowling around ! 1915 North Delaware street Thurs- j day night, when Miss Steena Hard- j ing. 61-year-old housekeeper, was beaten into insensibility. The body of the Negro this afternoon still was unidentified. Chief Mike Morrissey issued a statement in which he said that it was “o. k. for any officer in pursuit of a man wanted for a felony to | shoot if he were positive in his j identification.” 1

Flood Control Plan of Indiana Is Challenged

Army Engineer Questions Federal Obligation on White and Wabash. BY WALKER STONE Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.—The federal public works administration had under advisement today the proposal to allot $18,000,000 for flood control on the Wabash and White rivers, following an exhaustive hearing Friday. Near the close of the hearing. Ma.ior General Lytle, Brown, chief of army engineers, warned the public works board that if it undertakes the Wabash-White flood control project as a strictly federal enterprise, thereby will establish a precedent. Cites Huge Cost The general counselled the board to determine its national policy on flood control before making a decision to the Wabash and White rivers. He said that a nationwide flood control program along the lines necessary for the two Indiana rivers would mean expenditure of approximately $400,000,000. The $18,000,000, General Brown said, will pay only the cost of erecting levees to protect the farm areas. An additional $16,000,000. he said, would be necessary to give proper protection to the cities. The general also declared that half of the bridges crossing the Wabash would have to be torn down, and new bridges erected, to give greater clearance for flood waters. He estimated an additional $3,000,00 for bridge improvements. Machinery Is Ready General Brown did not oppose the Wabash-White improvement as such, but said merely that manyother like projects were equally justifiable on economic grounds. Representative Virginia E. Jenckes was asked whether owners of land along the river would give the federal government title to rights-of-way for levee construction. “If necessary.” said Mrs. Jenckes, “I'll ply a rowboat up and down the river and get the landowners to sign.” She said machinery for securing rights of way already had been set up by the various levee districts. General Brown told the public works board that it should not embark on the flood control work without first securing some legal protection to the federal government against claims that might arise because of the backwash of flood waters. He said levee construction would raise the flood level as much as six feet in the vicinity of Vincennes. Among the Hoosiers at Friday’s hearing were Senator Van Nuys, Representative Louis Ludlow, George Compton, secretary to Senator Arthur Robinson; William McClellan. Muncie; State Democratic Chairman Earl R. Peters; John Hogan, secretary to Representative Greenwood, and the three members of the Indiana public w-orks advisory board—Otto P. Deluse. John N.

PROGRESS SEEN IN BATTLE WITH SLEEPING DEATH Experiment With Monkeys Believed to Have Definite Result. Hu I nitc'l Tree* ST. LOUIS, Sept. 9. Having gained a "foothold'’ in a five-week fight to halt spread of sleeping sickness here, leading medical scientists of the nation todav sought to discover a curative serum, through laboratory experiments. Despite the concentrated effort* of more than a hundred famous medical experts, here from all parts of the country, the epidemic today increased its toll of dead to 102 among the 655 victims since July 30. Apparent inoculation of monkeys with the malady, considered the first major step toward isolation of the virus and discovery of a possible means of checking the disease, was announced by a research committee headed by Dr. Ralph S. Muckenfuss of Washington university. The committee reported that "unmistakable symptoms" of sleeping sickness had been produced in six monkeys inoculated with material from patients dying; of encephalitis. When encephalitis definitely can be established in animals, it will be passible to isolate the causative virus and probably discover means of prevention. Dr. Howard MrCordocic, Washington university pathologist and member of the research committee, said. Scientists reasoned that if the disease can be transmitted from human beings to monkeys it also may be transmitted from one human being to another. The problem resolves itself into how the transmittal takes place. Efforts to transmit the disease from animal to animal will be continued as the next major objective of the scientists.
