Birth Control Advocated Before Maternal League

Relief Costs Could Be Cut, Indiana U. Speaker Tells Women. Birth control was upheld last night as a social expedient not to be confused with morality by speakers at the Maternal Health League of Indiana, meeting in All Souls Unitarian church. "We could cut our public relief costs greatly with birth control in times like these,” declared Dr. R. Clyde White, Indiana university, attacking the theory that birth control would result in the race dying out, Dr. White said that the desire for children, coupled with propaganda, could regulate the birth rate. Dr. C. O. McCormick traced the fight for birth control, lauding the efforts of Margaret Sanger, who started the movement in the United States while engaged in social work in New York. Dr. McCormick pointed out that sociologists almost universally recommended liberalization of the laws, and that the movement has the sanction of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America and several other religious organizations. Dr. Murray N. Hadley, in reviewing the hearing last week on a house bill to liberalize the laws, attacked lawmakers for hindering the scientific study of birth control problems by placing a stigma on the subject. Miss Elsie Wulkop, Boston, who opened a local clinic Dec. 20 in the Meridian Life building, reported on its progress. Only cases of indi-

gents who are sent by physicians or institutions and social organizations, are accepted, she said. Already the clinic has saved welfare organizations much money in relief funds, she reported. Dr. J. P. H. Gauss presided. BROKER FACES MURDERCHARGE Police Not Satisfied With Explanation of Wife’s Death by Gas. By United Press NEW YORK, Jan. 23.—Cloyd Koontz, former broker, faced a homicide charge today because police were not satisfied with the story of his wanderings after he found his wife dead of gas fumes in the kitchen of their Brooklyn home. Koontz told authorities he found his wife unconscious with gas flowing from two open jets on the kitchen range. He said that his mind went blank. He vaguely remembered visiting a daughter, Mrs. Ethylene Scolaro in Cleveland, staying at the Hotel Hollenden there, and visiting his father, William, in Mansfield, O. Police found hotel bills and a ticket to Mansfield in his pockets, together with a note left by his wife in which she expressed the fear she was going blind.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES ,

JAPAN SEEKING PEACE IN EAST, SAYSJIROTA Foreign Minister Tells Diet American Friendship Greatly Desired. By United Press 'J’OKIO, Jan. 23.—N0 problem exists between the United States and Japan that is not capable of solution, Foreign Minister Koki Hirota declared in his address to the Japanese diet. In a speech regarded as extremely pacific in tone, Hirota reviewed the events of the last year in Manchoukuo, the Japanese withdrawal from the League of Nations, and the Japanese-American position in the Far East. "Between Japan and the United States of America,” he said, “there exists no question that is intrinsically difficult of solution. Far from having any thought of picking a quarrel with America. Japan fervently desires American friendship. Enduring Peace Desired It is hardly necessary to reiterate that Japan is actuated by no ulterior motives other than her desire to establish enduring peace in east Asia.... If America clearly will perceive the actual condition of the Orient and realize Japan’s role as a stabilizing force, whatever emotional tension may yet linger between the two peoples is bound to disappear.” He expressed regret that “the Soviet Union should now take to broadcasting, at home and abroad, through the press and other channels, unwarranted criticisms directed against Japan, and circulate exaggerated stories .... for political and diplomatic purposes.” “Inflammatory Articles” Deplored He asserted that Japan is setting up no new military establishment along the Manchoukuoan-Soviet frontier, and expressed the hope that negotiations over the Chinese Eastern Railway could be resumed soon. Replying to questions in the house of peers, both the ministers of war and navy expressed regret over the appearance of “inflammatory articles in the press, which cause foreigners to misinterpret Japan’s real spirit.” They promised that efforts would be made to restrain the publishing of such articles.

Enough Seed Sunflowers Found Cause of Appendicitis. By United Press Napoleon, n. and., Jan. 23. No longer may the farm boys while away a winter day nibbling on toothsome little sunflower seeds. This rural delicacy was shown in a sinister light today. Dr. John Simons, Gogan county health officer, attributed a recent wave or appendicitis attacks to the seeds. Two deaths and twenty operations were reported in the county during the last few tveeks. Dr. Simons’ report was supported by Dr. Maysil Williams, state health officer, who pointed out that a similar outbreak of appendicitis cases occurred in the neighborhood of Rugby, N. D., following a summer in which many sunflower plants were raised. In the Rugby case 100 operations were performed. GWA WORKERS NOT TO GET U. S. FOOD Available Supplies. Will Go to Other Needy. Surplus foodstuff received from the federal government no longer will be distributed to civil works employes in Marion county, formerly on township relief rolls, except in cases of unusual need. The announcement was made today by the Governor’s commission on unemployment relief. The change in policy, the announcement said, is made in order to distribute the available supplies in larger quantities to families still on relief, no member of which has been able to obtain employment. State relief commission county chairmen in other counties have been instructed to investigate the situation in their counties and determine whether it is advisable to discontinue the distribution in those counties also. The township trustee and the relief workers in each township, the bulletin said, are to determine what CWA families are of such size or in such need to necessitate distribution of federal foods. Thus far Indiana has received in federal surplus foods 2,930,000 pounds of salt pork, 300,000 dozen eggs and 500,000 pounds of butter. JUNIOR C. OF C.

By United Press BOSTON, Jan. 23—Unaccompanied by a spiritual adviser Ahmed Osman, 39, of Norwood, a Turkish peddler, walked to the electric chair at state prison early today and paid with his life for the murder of Nellie Keras, 9, at Norwood on Christmas day in 1932.

.JAN. 23, 1934

NEW TRUE BILL CAUSES DELAY IN BOND TRIAL Terre Haute Teacher Is Reindicted in State Fund Theft. Delay until Feb. 12 of trial of Miss Cora C. Steele, Terre Haute teacher, indicted in connection with disappearance of $25,000 in teachexs’ retirement fund securities, today resulted from the returning of a new grand jury indictment. The new indictment, charging grand larceny, was made necessary, Prosecutor Herbert E. Wilson said, because of a discrepancy found in the original true bill, prepared by the attorney-general’s office. The new indictment charges the theft of one SIO,OOO bond. Miss Steele, alleged to have taken the securities while a member of the retirement fund board, was to have been tried Thursday. Criminal Judge Frank P. Baker today set Feb. 12 as new trial date to allow defense attorneys an additional week in which to prepare defense under the new true bill. During the World war, 2.260 churches were destroyed in France, and of these only 500 have been rebuilt. 'medicated/ Ingredients of Vicks, Vapoßub in Convenient Candy FormVICKS COUGH PROP
