FEDERAL FUNDS SOUGHT TO AID GOLD SEEKERS ‘Grub Stake’ Proposal Given to President Lauded as Boon to Idle. By Scrtpps-Hotrnrd Setcspnper Allinnre WASHINGTON, Nov. 2—An army of amateur prospectors and placer pannerg will be sent forth Into the gulches and stream beds of the south annd west to hunt for gold, if a group of enthusisas can sell Uncle Sam on their “federal grub stake plan." Led by Randolph Wayker, ex-gold miner, this group has appealed directly to President Roosevelt to authorize several milllions to finance jobless men and families to delve and wash for the metal for which the nations of the world are bidding. The plan contemplates no particular sum, but it has been suggested that between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000 could be used to grub stake families at the rate of SIOO a family. Consideration Granted The group, including Amos Pin- ; chot, President William Green of the American Federation of Labor,! Senator Key Pittman of Nevada, another ex-miner, and others, see in ; the grub stake plan a double benefit, the enrichment of the United States treasury and relief for the jobless. President Roosevelt sent them to Secretary Harold L. Ickes, who designated Louis R. Glavis to study the proposal. They also plan to see Harry Hopkins, relief administrator. According to Mr. Walker, upwards of 200,000 men now are washing gravel for gold in Idaho, Utah, the Carolina.?, the Virginias, Alabama, Tennessee, Florida, Wyoming, the Dakotas, Nevada, and California. In California an estimated 30,000 new prospectors are working over the mother lode and in the Sierras. They make an average of 50 cents a day. If the federal government grubstakes such amateur miners possibly 200.000 more would find a healthy, outdoor mode of living, according to Mr. Walker. The plan contemplates guidance for the new gold diggers, advice by state and federal officials, a two weeks’ training course on the scene and a rescinding of the ruling that the small prospector must divulge the source of his find before he sells it. Opposes "Outsiders” Senator Pittman is for it, but insists that the west shall not be swamped by eastern jobless families. He says the relief must go to the westerners. Senator Pittman got his start in the Alaska gold fields. Mr. Green says the idea is “excellent." Backers of the plan point out that Canada and Chile both have used similar schemes for aid to their jobless. “The depression of '49 was lifted by discovery of gold in California,” said Mr. Walker. “The '96 depression was broken by discovery of gold in Alaska and the Rand. The prospectors of those days suffered untold hardships. Today good roads, autos and airplanes make labor and grub mobile. “Some 70 per cent of our miners are out of work; 20 per cent of the coal miners face starvation. Thousands of jobless engineers could be used as guides. A million men panning 50 cents worth of gold a day means $500,000 of gold daily, $lO.0000.000 a day in new banking credit. It is a self-liquidating project and chiefly it helps the ‘forgotten man' and helps him quickly.” UTILITY RATES SLASH ASKED BY 14 TOWNS Uniform Current Wholesale Charges Sought in Petitions.

75 Days for One Word Arthur’s Heart-Rending Story Impresses Court, but He Shouldn’t Have Mentioned ‘Record.’ HISTORY is replete with incidents where someone was getting along fine and then said one word too many, and Arthur Love, Negro, 330 Blackford street, has added anew one to the long list. Arthur was in Judge Dewey Myers’ municipal court four Tuesday on charges of C. C. W., which in police argot means carrying concealed weapons.

The evidence was an exceedingly long-barreled .28-caliber pistol of Spanish manufacture. Judge Myers eyed the weapon askance, because Judge Myers has had an unfortunate experience with a pistol in court, and queried Arthur. Arthur made a very willing witness for himself. In fact, Arthur might be called loquacious, without overstepping the bounds of restraint which reporters are expected to observe in writing about people like Arthur. He launched into his story. “Judge, it was like this,” quoth Arthur. “I had been to the stort and bought two loaves of bread and I was on my way home when I met a white man who had two little chillun with him. b e u “T TE said, ‘Boy, my chillun is XJ. starving. How’s about giving me a loaf of bread?’ and, Judge, I give him a loaf of bread. Judge, the way those little chillun went after that loaf of bread would have been a sight for your eyes and pretty soon, that white man said, ‘Boy, how’s about giving me that other loaf of bread,’ and Judge, I just had to give it to him. Them chillun ate that loaf up, too.” The milk of human kindness flows very vigorously in Judge Myers and he was becoming to be visibly affected by Arthur's heartrending recital. Prosecutor Louis Weiland, who practically is a brand new bridegroom, having been married just a week, even was beginning to lose his air of being certain that all's .right with the world. tt B B PERHAPS the most affected was Sergeant Otto Mayes, court bailiff, who is a very tenderhearted fellow, indeed. Sergeant Mayes almost was reduced to reaching for his handkerchief when the court’s interest again was enthralled as Arthur reached the climax of his story. He was beginning to believe that if he hadn't chosen carrying concealed weapons as a career, he might have made Sothern, Mansfield et. al. look like sugar cured varieties that inseparable companion of two eggs up. Arthur relaunched his story, with gestures. "Judge,” he said, “that white man sure was grateful.” The reporter thought he heard an audible sniff from Sergeant Mayes. “Yes. sir.” said Arthur, "he pulled out that great big gun and said, ‘Boy, I’m going to do you a favor and sell you this gun for $2. I bought it, judge, and just as I was walking down the street, the po-leece grabbed me. “Why, judge, I've got a good record. You can ask anybody in town about my record and they'll tell you I'm a good boy.” B tt B THIS was where Arthur made a tactical error of grave importance—to him. The word “record.” repeated, struck a responsive chord in the memory of Mrs. Sarah Schull, probation officer, whose business it is to remember records. Arthur suddenly lost his audience when Mrs. Schull recalled

that he had been put on probation in 1931 for drunk and carrying a revolver. Judge Myers sentenced Arthur to SIOO and costs, suspended it, and then revoked Arthur’s sentence on the old charge. Arthur will spend seventy-five days in jail thinking up another one.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

LATEST DEVICE OF TELEVISION IS ICONOSCOPE Thin Stream of Electrons Flashes Over Plate of Retina. By Science Service PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 2. The iconoscope, newest advance in television, was described by its inventor, Dr. V. K. Zworykin of the R. C. A. Victor Company, before a meeting here of the Franklin institute. The device, which is the closest artificial simulation of the human eye yet devised for use in television, has no scanning disk or other moving parts. The only thing about it that moves is a thin stream j of electrons, which are played back and forth across a sensitive arti- J ficial “retina” by changes in a magnetic field. The receiving or "seeing” end of the instrument consists of a flat plate, representing the retina or sensitive inner surface of the eye. On this, as on a photographic plate, the scene to be “televised” is focused. This retinal plate contains many thousands of tiny silver globules, each made sensitive to light by chemical treatment with the element caesium. The degree to j which these minute photocells will! transmit an electric current is changed according to the brightness of the light or the darkness of the shadow that falls upon them. The electric current is carried to this plate by the stream of electrons, which has a constant electrical potential. The stream is pulled rapidly back and forth across the plate by means of a set of electro-mag-nets. If it falls upon a bright stot, it receives a boost; if on a dark one, it is cut down a little. Thus the electric current that leaves the retinal plate fluctuates up and down. This fluctuating current is sent, via wire or radio waves, to the distantj reproducing station. At the reproducing end the transmitting current is used to shoot out another stream of electrons, which varies in strength with the fluctuations in the current. Pulled by another set of electro-magnets, it plays rapidly back and forth across another screen, which shines when the electrons bombard it strongly, is dark when they do not. Thus the original scene is reconstructed. ENTERS COLLEGE AT 13 Precocious Youth Enters Loyola; Plans to Study Medicine.

It is a thrifty, economical idea to serve cranberry sauce with all your meals because cranberry sauce is not expensive and those who are wise know it makes every other food taste much better. Make cranberry sauce this way “10-Minute” Cranberry Sauce (Stewed Cranberries) Boil 2 cups of water and IVi to 2 cups of sugar together 5 minutes, then add 4 cups Eatmor Cranberries. Boil without stirring (5 minutes is usually sufficient) until all the skins pop open. Remove from fire when the popping stops, and allow the sauce to remain in vessel undisturbed until cool. Your grocer or fruit dealer can furnish you free recipe cards that give other tasty ways to serve
