Hick Town? Yes and No Coppers Shout Disapproval and Yell in Support of City’s Semaphore Ban.

IF motorists will keep off traffic coppers' corns and have their cars equipped with rubber bumpers before the Indianapolis traffic squad suffers extinction, then the directing of traffic without semaphores may be a success. The order to work without benefit of signs, in effect for a month, to take Indianapolis out of the "hick town” traffic class, met today with varied approval and criticism from ihe “stop-and-go' boys of the city.

It is agreed that the traffic patrolmen have become semaphores and must, as a consequence. take the bumps that the standards formerly did. In fact, the boys with the white edging on their caps are becoming expert "hog callers" and the vocal exercise to their lungs is resulting in seme increase in the corner drugstore sale of lozenges and sprays. Patrolman Harold Olsen, Capitol avenue and Market street, says: "Motorists can t see you as they could the sign. You have to whistle at them, shout at them, to make them pay attention. I don't think it speeds up traffic. "You’ve got to watch,” he adds, "or they'll take Your toes off. I was at Meridian and Ohio streets, but asked to be transferred from a regular stand for relief, because of the standards.” a It a I. E. CAMPTON, Meridian and Ohio streets, agrees with Olsen that the standards facilitated the movement of traffic. "They don’t always hear you blow your whistle, and sometimes they drive mighty close to you in making turns,” he said. In turn, John Dugan, Capitol avenue and Washington street, says the faiilure to have what was a so-called "leaning post” doesn’t bother him. “It bothers the motorists, not me. They get all balled up,” Dugan said. William Brandt, Washington and Illinois streets, is of the belief that the city autoists are playing Rip Van Winkle. “You can’t get these fellows in town to wake up when you whistle. Tourists are lots easier to handle. But you can move traffic faster without the semaphores,” says Brandt. PATROLMAN RAY GISH. Market and Illinois streets, is all for street comers without semaphores. "It makes the people more alert, as it does the traffic patrolmen. I think when a lot of the boys get used to it they’ll like it better. It makes it easier to handle corners where left turns are permitted. You’ve got traffic more under your control than you had with a standard.” declared Gish. "When you’re handling a parade crowd.” he added, "It’s easier to move traffic, both pedestrian and motor.” Albert Magenheimer, Meridian and Ohio streets, says the directing of traffic without standards has modernized the city’s system. "We don't look like a small town. One thing that’s needed is to make pedestrians go with the motor car lane. As it is, they dodge in and out of traffic, at the risk of injuries.” Magenheimer concluded. UTILITY PARLEYS ENDED Regulation Rate Hearing to Be Held by Commission. Efforts to fix rate reductions of the Public Service Company of Indiana in conference were ended today by the public service commission and on Sept. 25. a regulation rate hearing will be held. Petition asking lowering of rates was filed recently by Sherman Minton. public counselor for the commission. and for a time it was believed adjustment could be affected at conferences of company and commission representatives.

Opposition Is Voiced to Slum Elimination Plans

Committee members in charge of the proposed slums elimination program for Indianapolis, for which a federal loan of $4,600,000 has been approved tentatively, today refused to comment on an editorial in an Indianapolis business paper, questioning the advisability of the proposed development.

The business paper asserted that "persons who own rental property can judge for themselves just how sound a loan would be at this time to improve housing conditions for Negroes.” Members of the committee refused to comment, but asserted privately that the development would benefit the entire city, in increased property values. The committee was to meet today with industrial groups to confer on the raising of an added 15 per cent of the federal loan, which would bring the development to mere than $5,000,000. Members point out that the project would put hundreds of men to work, which is one of the goals of the public works act. Slap at the proposed development also was taken today by Walter C. Rothermel, chairman of the central committee of the South Side Civic Club. In a notice to membeis of the civic club he asserted that the Belt Railroad track elevation program "has been neglected wilfully and shunted aside for other projects of major proportions, but whose benefit does not reach the number of inhabitants of the city that the track elevation program proposes to reach." Bov’s Fingers Are Crushed Two fingers of the right hand of Harry Price Jr.. 6. of 526 South Pine street, were crushed today by an automobile door. He was taken to ctiy hospital by police.

FAIR DEAL FUR ALL VETERANS IS LEGION AIM Organization Asks Benefits for Only Deserving Ex-Service Men. ECONOMY IS STRESSED Johnson Emphasizes Intent to Battle Against U. S. Fund Waste. BY TALCOTT POWELL Editor Indianapolis Times In the hurly-burly of the March banking crisis, the.really disabled war veteran temporally was elbowed aside. This was the conclusion of an American Legion special investigating committee which made a study of the effect of President Roosevelt's economy act. This committee, headed by O. L. Bodenhamer, did not concern itself with the troubles of "gold bricks” and veterans who did not have actual service-connected disabilities. “While it was represented to the public that the economy act would result in a reduction of veterans' benefits to battle and war time service casualties of not to exceed 20 per cent adjudication under the regulations as promulgated by President Roosevelt’s economy act, the thirty-two typical cases of gunshot wounds received in actual combat have resulted in reductions which averaged 43 per cent,” said the commander’s report. Reductions Reach 70 Per Cent "In the adjudication of 100 typical cases involving service-connected disabilities arising out of war service, the actual reductions averaged 70 per cent.” The committee also reported against the elimination of regional offices for adjudication of veterans’ claims. Although its members gave no specific reasons for objecting to this economy measure, it is admitted at legion national headquarters here that to wipe out the regional offices would lead to a repetition of the Civil war arrearage evil. For nearly twenty years after the close of that war the genuinely disabled veteran had to wait for a period of years before his pension claim was authorized. Seeing the injustice of this, congress legislated that when his claim finally was found valid he should receive a lump sum payment, representing his pension dated from the time he was wounded. This almost bankrupted the federal treasury and in 1893 veterans were receiving nearly 35 per cent of the nation’s gross income. Ask Equal Treatment Other recommendations of the committee include: Equal treatment of and dependents of all wars. A permanent classification of benefits for all classes of veterans and their dependents of all wars, past and future. A governmental policy contemplating adequate compensation and hospitalization for all veterans with service-connected disabilities, without means of support, who would be charges and wards of the federal government and not of state and local governments or of public charity. A summation of the new policy of the American Legion as set forth by Commander Johnson and the special investigating committee indicates two things: 1.

BLAST IN MINE FATAL TO EIGHT Score of Other Workers in Pit Flee Three Miles to Safety. By United Press PITTSBURGH. Sept. 11.-Eight miners were killed today when coal dust ignited in the Oakmont mine of the Hillman Coal and Coke Company at Barking Station. More than a score of other miners fled three miles through the drift shaft to the surface and escaped. The blast let go shortly after the day’s work began. Immediately after word of the blast was brought to the surface by terrified miners, Hillman officials sent emergency calls to the Pittsburgh office of the federal bureau of mines for rescue crews. Then they refused information, minimized the accident in response to telephone inquiries, and summoned state highway patrolmen to halt automobiles approaching the mine on highways. Four bodies were brought to the surface within a few hours after the explosion, which occurred at a point where the Oakmont mine approaches the Newfield mine, penetrating the ground from another angle.

WET VICTORY PREDICTED IN MAINEBALLOT State, Dry Since 1851, Goes to Polls for Repeal Decision Today. j By l nited Press PORTLAND, Me., Sept. 11. Maine, dry since 1851, voted today on ratification of the twenty-first j (repeal) amendment. Observers predicted it would be the twenty-sixth consecutive state to repudiate na--1 ticnal prohibition. Today’s election opened the final phase of the drive to repeal the i eighteenth amendment this year. If Maine falls into fine, repealists will need only ten more states. Colorado, Minnesota and Maryland vote Tuesday. Idaho and New Mexico vote a week from Tuesday; Virginia, Oct. 3; Forida, Oct. 10; Ohio, Pennsylvania, North and South Carolina and Utah, Nov. 7. The wets could lose two states and still be victorious. Repeal can not become an actuality, however, until Dec. 5 or 6. Ohio holds its formal ratification ! convention Dec. 4; Pennsylvania, ; Dec. 5. and North and South Caroi lina, Dec. 6. Predictions of the wet victory in Maine ranged as high as 2tz to 1, the most conservative being 3 to 2. Next to Kansas, Maine had been ; established as the driest of the i states. In 1851 Neal Dow, Quaker prohibitionist, framed and engineertd the passage of the state’s prohibitary law. The first formidable i rebellion was last year, when Governor Louis J. Brann, Democrat, and three Democratic congressmen were elected on wringing wet platforms. In recent months, the state permitted sale of 3.2 beer. Volstead in Battle By United Press ST.

They were safe after having been lost for five days in the forest, where they endured hunger and hardships before reaching the town of Riviere A Pierre. They said they were ready to compete in the 1934 races if the Polish government orderered it. The balloonists, Captain Hynek and Lieutenant Burbynski, came here with Poland’s acting consul-general, who went to Riviere a Pierre to meet them. The balloonists carried a small bag and suede-lined coats, all that was left for them to travel with for five days in dense forests. “We landed because we thought we would drift out to the Atlantic ocean, seeing that we were going in an easeterly direction," Lieutenant Burbynski informed United Press. “We jettisoned our provisions to gain a few extra yards, and to gain a record for Poland, and all we had left when we landed was a dozen oranges and forty raisins. “These ‘iron rations’ constituted our only food until Saturday, when we had our first real meal in more than a week."

TRAINS SONS TO ROB MOTORISTS Father Confesses That He Led Boys on Hitch-Hike Holdup Trips. By United Press BRAZIL. Ind.. Sept. 11.—Ralph Chilcoate, 50, Dublin, Ind., has confessed leading his three young sons on hitch-hiking trips through four states to rob motorists, police said today. The trips were across Indiana into Ohio, Illinois and Missouri, Chilcoate is said to have admitted. The four were said to have looted parked cars, in addition to holding up drivers who gave them rides. Some of the loot was sold and the remainder taken to the family home in Dublin. Two suitcases filled with fountain pens, knives, flashlights, jewelry, pipes and similar articles are being held by police, who will attempt to locate the owners. Authorities have decided to arraign Chilcoate in Clay circuit court on charges of possessing stolen property. They have . not decided what to do with the sons, William, 14; Walker, 9, and Elmer, 8.

San Martin, Selected as Government Head, Seeks to Unite Factions. HAVANA IS ORDERLY Sentiment Grows Against Outside Interference in Crisis. BY LAWRENCE S. HAAS United Press Staff Correspondent HAVANA, Sept. 11.—Hopeful that the danger of armed American inj tervention had passed, President Ramon Grau San Martin today sought to complete his cabinet and rally political leaders to his sup- | port. There was only one incident tr break the calm of the capital. A bomb exploded at 2 a. m. today at Colon and Aguila streets, near the gas and electric station. It was thought possible that the bomb was exploded in connection with the | public demand for lower utility | rates. The new president, inaugurated | Sunday noon, hoped to persuade leaders of the half dozen political parties that only by backing him in a nationalist government could inj tervention be averted and normal ! conditions restored, j Confused as the situation was, the universal opposition of Cubans of i all shades of political opinion to intervention was pronounced and j was being solidified in anti-Amer- ' ican feeling. From Communist* to members of the government, expressions were unanimous against intervention and j any American interference in Cuban affairs. May Win Support Largely because of the possibility ' of intervention, Grau San Martin may win the suport of army and navy officers who since Friday had been unwelcome guests at the National hotel, where American Ambassador Sumner Welles resides. In a proclamation early today, the officers accepted in principle a set of unspecified government proposals. They said they were I “camped” at the hotel only to consult among themselves and negoj tiate with the government. Their j weapons, they said, were for defense only. They are heavily armed. Although Grau San Martin, for- \ mer national university professor of | medicine, seemed gaining some suppert, he did not have the adhesion | of most of the important political ! elements. Os the leaders, only ! Miguel Mariano Gomes, head of the Marianista party, declared for him. Opposed by A B C The position of the Menocalistas and the National Union was not known, the powerful ABC revolutionary society seemed definitely opposed, largely because it dislikes Sergio Carbo, one of the members of the executive committee that seized power from President Carlos Manuel De Cespedes a week ago today. Havana thought the change of government a fiesta. Crowds, shooting firecrackers, moved through the principal streets Sunday night, celebrating the installation of the third government within thirty days. There was no disorder. Three policemen were the sole guards as 6,000 Communists held a demonstration in Central park Sunday and denounced Ambassador Welles for interference. The new president, in his first speech after inauguration, declared the revolution had given Cuba new freedom. He spoke at a radio station and his spech was broadcast over the country. It was an appeal for support. Aware of Obstacles "I am fully aware of the difficulties and responsibilities of the situation,” he said. "They stimulate us to prudence. It is my fervent deside that our beloved country, now free from foreign influence, may go forward on the road to progress.” The officers’ proclamation, in which they emphasized peaceable aims, also paid attention to the American situation. "We consider and condemn as traitors to the country those who provoke foreign intervention in any form which detracts from the republic's sovereignty,” it said. Leaders of the executive committee, which selected Grau San Martin, a fellow member, as president, were frank in their belief that one element of their strength was the fact that Ambassador Welles had had no part in their action. "The days when Cuban governments were constructed at the United States embassy are over,” one committeeman said. The Communist demonstration was organized as a protest against "Yankee imperialism.”
