‘STATE HAS NO LIQUOR law; lUDGE HINTS McNutt Will Have to Call Special Session, Is Baker’s Belief. PONDERS WHOLE ISSUE Makes Informal Comment as He Studies Beer Act Case. “I do not think we have any liquor law, and I believe the Governor will have to call a special .session of the legislature," Criminal Judge Frank P. Baker said today in announcing he would continue until after Dec. 5 all liquor cases coming into his court. The judge's comment was made when he continued the appealed case of Edward Turner, 1341 Kentucky avenue, who was fined S3OO in municipal court three for selling beer without a license. Explaining that he did not expect many appealed liquor cases. Judge Baker said he felt they were a matter for judgment after the date when repeal becomes official through certification of the states’ votes to Washington. Comments Are Informal Judge Baker said he has not made up his mind on the liquor situation, as he commented informally in connection with his continuance ruling. The judge explained that he has discussed the future of liquor trials with attorneys and has learned their opinions fall into two schools of thought. One view frequently expressed to him, he said, is that repeal will abolish the state liquor control law and other regulatory measures. This contention, he said, appears to be based on the belief that the Indiana control act was predicated on the Volstead act. Discuss Other View The other view he has encountered, Juge Baker said, is that the state control act would be abolished, but. that the medicinal whisky act would remain in force and the handling of whisky after repeal necessarily would be handled in drug stores alone. "Summarized." the judge said, "the general feeling seems to be that there either will be a wideopen sale of liquor by any one or the sale will be confined to drug stores."

Bacteria Which Destroy T. B.

Germs Under Study of Experts

ft ff I titled PresM SHELTON. Conn . Nov. 14 —Two tiny bacteria were viewed by tuberculosis specialists today as possible destroyers of tubercule bacilli, representing anew hope in the long battle against the white

plague. The growing of these types of bacteria, described as cocci and diplococci was described by 1,800 physicians at Laurel Heights Tuberculosis Sanatorium by Dr. Stepnen J. Maher, international tuberculosis authority, who developed the technique after twenty-five years of research. Tuberculosis bacilli in human beings, cows, and some species of birds have been destroyed by these bacteria, Dr. Maher said. They are produced from the tubercule bacilli themselves by feeding the bacilli sterile milk through the Maher process.

The cocci and diplococci, while producing an acid harmless to themselves, are nevertheless "full of harm to the tuberculosis germs

Indiana NRA Progress Pleasing, Johnson Says; Plans Restaurant Study

Administrator Commends City in Interview With Times. BY BASIL GALLAGHER Tim?* Staff Writer LOUISVILLE. Nov. 14.—A message of encouragement and satisfaction with NRA progress in Indianapolis was given The Times today by General Hugh S. Johnson, national ; recovery administrator, before leaving here for Washington. In an exclusive interview snatched hurriedly between conferences with Governor Ruby Laffoon of Kentucky and Indiana NRA officials, the dynamic recovery chief praised the entire Indiana recovery program and talked briefly of freedom of the press, rugged individualism.” and ; the restaurant situation in Indiana. Through Edward F. McGrady, new assistant secretary of labor, General Johnson revealed that he may stop in Indianapolis during a proposed trip to the Pacific coast in two weeks. Shows Signs of Fatigue While a crowd of Kentucky politicians, officials, and autograph hunters milled around outside General Johnson’s room at the Brown hotel here, following his speech at the Jefferson county armory, the representative of The Times w’as permitted a short, rapidfire interview’. Heavy-jowled and jovial, General Johnson led the reporter through his suite and into his private bedroom. The general show’ed signs of fatigue following his long trip ! through what he called “the corn belt.” He pulled out his watch as the reporter began to question him and said, laughingly. "Three minutes, shoot.” “Situation Is Good” The general was asked w’hat he thought of the NRA situation in Indiana. "Very encouraging.” he answ’ered in his staccato-like manner. "I haven’t the compartive figures here to show’ you why, but I have been pleased w’ith the work done in Indiana. and particularly in Indianapolis. I think the general situation in the state is very good.” "What is you opinion of the restaurant situation there?” asked the reporter. “You mea that recommendation by the state restaurant association to remove blue eagles? Well, that broke after I started on this tour. I’m going to give that some personal attention when I get to Washington. Os course, you know that the President's covenant prohibits voluntary removal of the blue eagle. Using Different Methods ’’How’ about ‘rugged individualists.’ like Henry Ford, general. Have you evolved any way of dealing with them.” General Johnson asked which "rugged individualists” were meant. When one outstanding person of Indiana. who might properly qualify in that category, was mentioned. General Johnson said he 'had never heard of him. "Every rugged individualist’ is an individual case." said General Johnson. "I'm using different methods on all of them to make them see the light.” "How about all this talk of freedom of the press, general?” Welcomes Criticism "That is something that needs a lot of elucidation." said the general. "The government has no thought of censoring the press. Since this trip. I have heard much talk of censoring the radio, too. You wouldn't think so. would you. when you hear harsh critics of NRA. like Milo Reno. Senator Hatfield and others on the air? I want to dispel that idea. The government welcomes constructive criticism.” At this point, a petite girl with alert brown eyes, dressed in a black velvet evening gown and an ermine wrap draped about her shoulders, appeared at the door. It was "Robbie"—Miss Francis Robinson—the general's secretary and "Cerberus.” "The Governor is waiting,” she said, giving the reporter a dirty look. The assistant secretary of labor. Mr McGrady ushered a delegation of Indianapolis labor leaders into his room adjoining General Johnson's suite for a long "off the record” conference.

from which they are derived,” Maher said. "We have not as yet, "Dr. Maher cautioned," secured any convincing evidence from animal experiments that these cocci and diplococci have any preventive or curative effect on tuberculosis in guinea pigs or rabbits, but we have abundant evidence that these cocci and diplococci, whether derived from viaq, bovine, or very pathogenic human tubercule bacilli produce no harmful effect when injected into guinea pigs or rabbits. “In itself, this is a very important matter if we are to consider any possible curative use of these cocci and diplococci. "Despite its present accessibility, this new field contains, in the opinion of some of us, the longsought and greatly needed specific cure for tuberculosis." Believing greater research work would result if his discovery was placed in the hands of other specialists. Dr. Maher confided his secret to a numof New England specialists last July, he said Other physicians were successful in developing the bacteria from the tubercule bacilli, he said.

Or is it the grimly serious warning of some fanatical archcriminal. a thousand times more dangerous than the feared "Terror Mob?" Police officials are worried. The federal government is taking immediate action. They are convinced that the warning notes are not the work of some harmless madman, but the product of a super-fiend—some one with the power to carry out the threats of his deadly notes. Already the first of these dangerous threats has been carried out. There has been a strange and mysterious bombing near Indianapolis. Explosives experts can not explain the mystery.

The establishment of “resident schools" where girls and women will receive food, shelter, and clothing, while learning new trades or professions. 2.

SURE, and it w r as a real “Kilkenny catfight.” When the Scanlons and the Sweeneys and the Doyles get together, there’s bound to be trouble, it developed in a hearing before the board of safety, at city hall, today. On Nov. 3. it was learned, Thomas Sweeney, city fireman, attached to fire station No. 13, had a “wee drap too much,” and came back to the firehouse to have some fun with the "byes.” He became too playful, it seems, and Captain John E. Doyle, his superior officer, put him to sleep with a couple of well-directed punches. Then Lieutenant Dan Scanlon reported on the scene after a call had been put in for police. The safety board reprimanded Scanlon for being too kind to his countryman. Scanlon admitted that he took Sw’eeney home instead of putting him under arrest. Sweeney w’as suspended from the fire department for thirty days.

Heretofore, little has been i done to relieve conditions anions: unemployed women. Regular relief funds were available to those in dire need, but plans to create jobs lor women and girls were shunted aside in the battle to I give w’ork to the heads of families i on relief rolls. Meanwhile the situation has become increasingly acute. It is estimated there are between 800,000 and 1,000.000 women in the nation without jobs. Harry L. Hopkins, federal relief administrator, appointed blue-eyed, auburn-haired, mdidle-aged Ellen S. Woodward as director of women's ; work for his organization. Some Cities to Get Several 1 Mrs. Woodw’ard' and members of her staff evolved the tw’o plans I which they believe will meet the situation until economic conditions become such that the nation's offices, factories and mills will reabsorb their women employes. The “resident schools” are to be established everywhere they are needed. Some cities will have several. Others where the unemployment problem is not so serious will have only one. Under present plans, local organizations will provide the living quarters and the equipment while the federal relief administration will provide funds to buy clothing and food. Cleaning, cooking and other household duties will be divided among the women and girls living at the school. Their activities will be directed by a "house mother,” who also is receiving relief. Homes to Be Set Up Trained secretaries, unable to find employment, will conduct classes in office work. Instruction also will be provided in other branches of women's work. < "Every effort will be made to fit every woman living in the schools for some job,” Mrs. Woodward said. In addition to the permanent schools, homes where girls and w’omen may obtain food and shelter temporarily are to be established. The second phase of the program calls for the creation of jobs in every field of women’s activities. The women receiving employment under this program will be paid at the rate prevailing in their community for that type of work. "We ahe going to create jobs from the top to the bottom,” Mrs. Woodward said, "no group of women will be overlooked.” Millions to Be Spent Already women are going to work as a result of the plan. Nursing schools where parents are taught child health, conservation and character development have been established in a number of states, giving employment to teachers, dieticians, nurses, recreation directors arid domestic workers. Many more of these schools are to be established. Sewing rooms where skilled workers repair and remodel clothing for use by the unemployed are in operation in twenty-two states. Additional rooms are being set up daily. In Los Angeles alone 3.900 women were given employment in fitfyseven rooms during October. Thousands of librarians, stenographers and office workers will be given employment m city, county and state offices doing work which previously had been curtailed because of reduced incomes. Teachers will receive employment in rural schools now closed, in teaching illiterates to read and write, in giving vocational training and instructing the physically handicapped. The amount to be spent on thi* program has not yet been definitely determined, but it is expected to total many millions. Lauds ‘First Lady’ Preaching a text of "patience and faith” in President Roosevelt, Miss Mary Hughes, head of the federal bureau of public relations, rejoiced this morning when advised by The Times of the movement of the federal emergency relief organizations to help unemployed women. "Although I have no authority to say so, I believe Mrs. Roosevelt has been largely responsible for this move," Miss Hughes said "It is in keeping with her interest in the problems of women.”
