PROPOSED ECONOMIC PLAN OF PRESIDENT IS PRAISED BY PWA ADVISORY BOARD Permanent Program Replacing Public Works Administration Great Benefit to U. S., Officials Believe. Showering' President Roosevelt’s proposed economic planning program with praise, members of the Indiana PW A advisory board today termed the long range plan as “a great step forward.” ' „. , ~ “ " “ • - /-vfTßoin 11 I*l IVochtntrton rv>forr

Under the terms of President Roosevelt’s plan made public yesterday, the program will replace the public works administration and will provide permanent machinery for meeting economic prol>lems. Board members stated that a permanent body such as the President proposes would be of great benefit to the conutry in working out economic problems. Permanent Machine Needed "We need just such a permanent machine for relieving the slack in industry," said Lew G. Ellingham, Ft. Wayne publisher and member of the board. “If we are to have a remedy for our unemployment problems and if we are to keep business running on a steady basis, a program such as President Roosevelt proposes is certainly necessary," he declared. Otto P. Deluse, chairman of the PWA advisory board, stated that he was heartily in favor of a comprehensive public works program to extend over a period of years and to replace the PWA. which is a temporary body. Indiana PWA Defended Defense of the work accomplished by the PWA in Indiana was made by the board members in reply to the criticism that the program was faltering in the state. Mr. Deluse stated that the program was getting under way with great rapidity and that within sixty days an additional 12.000 men would be taken from the county relief rolls and put to work on twentyeight PWA projects in the state. “We have really just started on our program.” he said. “However, we already have 12.800 men working in Indiana and we will give jobs to about the same number in the next two months when we get into full swing.” Aim to Speed Industry Mr. Ellingham asserted that the object of the PWA was to speed up industry in the country and that the state organization was making decided progress in that direction. “Industry in Indiana has shown marked signs of stimulation,” he said. “What we must do is to keep the ball rolling and make longer strides toward the return of prosperity.” When actual work begins on the remaining twenty-eight projects granted Indiana the public will have more of an opportunity to measure the accomplishment of the state program. Mr. Ellingham believes. He attributes delay in getting the PWA program into full swing in Indiana, to red tape in Washington. Bonds and specifications for the projects must be approved by public

Do they possess the natural glow of health, which comes from a sufficiency of rich, red blood? If they do, make-up is simple... if they don’t, read 0n... you may find one of the reasons why your skin is not clear. It is well to remember that a probable reason why you do nat have red lips, rosy cheeks, good health, energy and cheerfulness is that your blood is in a run-down condition. Lack of hemo-glo-bin, the red coloring of the blood, may also indicate a weakened condition of the body... loss of strength... poor appetite. Neglect of diet, worry, overwork, colds or sickness, frequently break down and retard the natural development of the red-blood-cells and their oxygen-carrying hemo-glo-bin. Wliv not set in motion the rebuilding of those all-important blood-cells instead of procrastinating and sacrificing your appearance and the feeling of being well and fit? Though you have no organic disease,* you may have a lowered red-blood-cell count with deficient hemo-glo-bin. When this occurs, and it is very common, you need a tonic. Not just a so-called tonic, but a tonic that has the virtue of stimulating gastric secretions, and also having the mineral elements so very, very necessary in rebuilding the oxygen-carrying hemo-glo-bin of the blood to enable you to "carry on’’ without exhaustion, as you should naturally. If your condition suggests a tonic of this kind, we recommend P.S.S. because its value has been proven by generations, as well as by modern scientific appraisal. S.S.S. is truly a blood aud body tonic. It is carried by every drug store in America in two sizes—the larger being more economical. •Consult a phytician. of eour/e, if you tutpeet any organic trouble, it it It it Some interesting facts about the Blood About .of the body weight is blood. It circulates over the entire body something like 200 times daily. On each trip it passes thru the lungs, before entering the heart, to throw off dead air from the tissues and to take up the vitalizing oxygen to convert food material into tissue repair and energy. The only way food can be utilized in the body to give it heat and energy and replace worn out tissue is to combine it with the oxygen released from the blood in the tissues. Hemo-glo-bin es the red-cells carries the oxygen. It is just as important that the bemo-glo-bin be kept up to Nature’s standard to insure that the body tissues get their oxygen and can remove the waste matter as it is to eat nourishing food. Constant rebuilding of the red cells is necessary, •s their ordinary life is only about 80 days, and extra help is needed when they are below normal. QTb S S.S. Cos. "

works officials in Washington before the contracts are let and actual I construction begins, the board mem- ; ber pointed out. “There is no chance of anything ' going wrong in PWA as happened in CVVA jobs." Mr. Ellingham de--1 dared. “Our program may take somewhat longer to get under way, but the results wall be free from I criticism.” There is no chance of graft creeping in the PWA program to mar its achievements, he believes. Every contract is scanned in Washington to see that it is above reproach. “No money is given outright to 1 communities to carry out these proI jects. Every bill for any job is sent directly to Washington and officials must approve it before money is paid out. “Os course, this takes more time, but it is a means of protecting the public and it prevents graft and waste from creeping in.” Most of the technical difficulties are expected to be cleared away within the next few weeks, and work can start on the remainder of , the projects immediately after, he 1 stated. More Projects Sought “It is our wish to obtain as many public works projects as possible for i Indiana." he said. “We already have I obtained fifty-two major projects, | but we have hopes of getting from | thirty to forty more through the board at Washington. “We do not want to stop with our present accomplishments but to keep things moving and to see a revival of business conditions follow our public works program.” More than $7,000,000 has been granted Indiana for PWA construction work. The approval of further projects has been held up pending further appropriations. 57.000.000 Appropriated Additional requests for PWA grants are filed in the local office in the federal building and will be submitted when mere money is appropriated to the state. The board stated that 162 projects calling for an expenditure of more than $39,000,000 had been considered by the advisory committee in the past few months. , Os this number, fifty-two projects were put through and $7,000,000 appropriated. Some of the projects were rejected by the local board and others by PWA officials in Washington. The $1.50 tax limitation law proved the greatest stumbling block to communities who wished funds for public works, it was said. Eighteen of the projects now under construction are state highway jobs. Other projects under way are the building of sewage disposal plants, water works, municipal light plants and bridges. * Three state colleges are to have new units built with PWA funds within the new month. Purdue. Ball State and Indiana State Normal at Terre Haute will be enlarged.

MINTON URGES HONEST DOLLAR IN RATEVALUES Regulatory Boards’ Duty Is to Find It, Franklin Kiwanis Told. Sherman Minton, public counselor of the public service commission, told the Kiwanis Club of Franklin Tuesday that the chief task now confronting regulatory bodies is that of finding honest dollars invested in utility property. “Without knowledge of honest dollars invested in useful utility property,” said Mr. Minton, “the finding of the fair value of a utility becomes a contest of fairy tale telling by expert witnesses.” Mr. Minton described in detail the new program in Indiana of forcing the utility to appear before the public service commission to show cause why rates should not be reduced. Always Ready to Act “When it is possible to tell from an analysis of records the utilities have on file with the commission that revenues, collected from the public are too high,” Mr. Minton continued, “then I have had no hesitancy in bringing action for the quick relief of ratepayers. “Success of the ‘show cause’ method has been demonstrated in the Indianapolis Power and Light Company case, where $525,000 of immediate rate reductions were gained without expense to any consumer, pending investigations and a final determination of proceedings to obtain higher cuts.” “Shortly before, the commission had aired conditions in the Public Service Company of Indiana by the same method. The Indianapolis company pleaded guilty to making excessive charges and acted promptly to avoid the kind of an airing the Public Service Company received. Think Recent Franchise Right “Why shouldn’t public utilities be forced to tell the truth about all their earnings, operations, holding company connections and corporate aflaris affecting rates? It is the spirit of public regulations that they shall keep nothing hidden from the public, yet it has been their privilege to deceive for so long that they believe it a part of their franchise right.”

Jobs Lacking for Cops Ordered Reinstated

Vacancies Filled While Case Pended, Safety Board Head Says, John (Red) Davidson and Ermal Hamilton, former Indianapolis motorcycle policemen who were ordered reinstated yesterday by Floyd Mannon, special judge in superior court, Room I, still are without jobs on the force. Charles R. Myers, safety board president, said today that while the case was pending the vacancies were filled and the pay roll now is not large eough to include the two policemen. However, James Deery, city attorney, will file a motion for rehearing on the case within the next ten days, it was said. The former officers were discharged by the board last December. In giving his decision, Judge Man-

non held that penalty imposed on the two former officers ’’was not commensurate with the nature of the offense committed.” Davidson and Hamilton were discharged for conduct unbecoming an officer and neglect of duty Dec. 28. after they had pleaded guilty to the charges. They admitted being with Miss Leona Norcus, 818 North Tacoma avenue, when she committed suicide. They also testified that they had had several ‘dates’’ with the girl. Judge John W. Kern of superior court, Room 1, appointed Mr. Mannon special judge after he had heard part of the evidence in the case. Judge Kern heard testimony of several character witnesses for the policemen. Davidson and Hamilton appealed the decision of the safety board to superior court.

FARLEY TWISTS FACTS. CHARGES H. WEIR COOK Distortion Is Laid to U. S. Postmaster-General by City Officer. Explanation by Postmaster-Gen-eral James A. Farley of air mail contract cancellations is a gross misrepresentation and ridiculous distortion of facts, it was charged today by Lieutenant-Colonel H. Weir Cook, Thirty-eighth division stall officer and national legion aeronautics director. “The meeting of airline officials, at which Mr. Farley says various air contract severe apportioned, was no more unfair than was Mr. Farley when he distributed railroad mail contracts,” said Mr. Cook. “Os course there are aviation companies that would bid lower than those holding the contracts, but if such companies did get the contracts, heaven help the air mail. “The companies he refers to do not know how to build the right kind of planes, and they do. not know how to fly them. If their bids were accepted, I am afraid flying would become extremely hazardous for passengers. “A man who has a case against any group will not be required to use 2,500 words to say it,” he added, referring to Mr. Farley's statement. Colonel Cook, who testified last week before the District of Columbia grand jury, is well acquainted with the early days of the air mail while it was being carried by the postoffice. “I resigned from the air mail service back in 1920 because of the terrible old crates we had to fly, in which several men were killed, and because, through politics of the postoffice department, inexperienced division superintendents were given charge,” he said. “The same conditions probably would exist it the postofflee department continued to operate the mail lines, or if seme of these small lines clamoring for .mail contracts got them. “I wouldn’t risk my neck in some of the planes they operate. “Mr. Farley’s statement makes my blood boil, in view of the facts, It is merely a mattir of resorting to personalities to cover political manipulations.”
