Proposed plans for radical changes in tne bus and street car transportation system are under consideration by the Lxtard of works. The changes, introduced by the Indianapolis Railways, Jnc., would facilitate passenger traffic in the city through crosstown connections and would provide transportation to sections of the city not accessible by street car or bus, board members said.

Trackless trolley buses will be put on eight lines under the plan and several other lines will be abandoned or rerouted. Brfore approval is given to the plan, a house-to-house canvas will be made to ascertain the attitude of the people affected by the abandonment and rerouting, the board promised. A public meeting will be held by the board before final action is taken. Crosstown service will be facilitated by the placing of trackless trolley buses on the following lines: Brookside-West Michigan; Bnght-wood-West Indianapolis; ColumbiaIndiana; Northwestern - Garfield Park-English avenue; West Tenth-Prospect-South East; South Meri-dian-Riverside; East Tenth street and Pennsylvania street lines. Two Lines Would Be Dropped The Indianapolis Railways Inc., would abandon the Garefild Park street car line from Madison avenue and Morris to Lincoln and East streets. Also in line for abandonment is the Bright wood and Madison avenue motor coach lines. The Madison avenue line extends from Morris and Union streets to Minnesota and Madison avenue. In place of the Brightwood bus line, a trackless trolley line would be rerouted from Roosevelt and Tacoma avenues to follow the Brightwood motor coach line to Twentyfifth and Gale and on Gale to Thirtieth and Sherman drive. A feder line would extend from Columbia avenue to Thirtieth street. Anew section of the city would be opened to transportation facilities by the proposed rerouting of the Prospect trackless trolley west on Prospect to South East street and north on East street to Virginia avenue. The Garfield trackless trolley would be be rerouted south on Delaware street to Morris street and east on South East street to Raymond street, under the plan. Other changes contemplated by Ihe railway company are the abandonment of the following street catlines: Alabama street line from Ft.; Wayne to Nineteenth streets: Gar- i field park line from Madison and Morris to Lincoln and East streets. The Mars Hill line would be abon ■ doned altogether and bus service substituted. Rerouting on several bus lines has bren proposed. These lines are Riverside. to Thirtieth street via North Meridian instead of Delaware street: the Thirtieth street crosstown bus would be extended to Kenwood street; the Twenty-fifth street feeder would be extended north on Columbia to Thirtieth street. The board pointed out that through extending the system of crosstown lines that the public will not be required to make co many transfers, thus effecting a 2 cent savings on many lines.

That is a 5-3-5 ratio, giving Japan 65 per cent as many ships as the United States instead of the present treaty ratio of 60 per cent, even j without the building program he j said would be necessary. I Osumi estimated that at the end ; of 1939. on the basis of programs, the United States would have 195 ships. Japan. 150. He classified the projected number of larger ships as: Battleships—United States, 15; Japan. 9. Aircraft Carriers—United States, ■ 6; Japan, 6. Cruisers < 8-inch guns)—United States, 18; Japan. 12.

Prince Sigvard and His Bride By United Prexx LONDON. March B.—Prince Sigvard of Sweden, grandson of King Gustav V. today married Erika Patzek. beautiful blond motion picture actress, at Caxton Hall register office near Westminster Abbey. In so doing he made great sacrifices on the altar of love.

As the brief ceremony was conducted, the Swedish Riksmarskalk —lord high chamberlain—was on his way to Stockholm to issue decrees depriving the prince of his royal status for marrying a commoner. He will be deprived of the right of succession to the throne. He is third in line as the second son of Crown Prince Gustav Adolf. The ceremony was most simple —dramatic in contrast to the solemn ceremonials to which royal princes such as Sigvard are destined if they obey the laws of their countries restricting their choice of wives to officially approved princesses.

Schutz Attacks New Deal Before City Bar Group

Brain Trust Has Neglected Distribution Problem, Says Professor. Charging evasion of the task of lifting American people from the depths depression because of the desire to center their efforts on production and refusal to tackle the problems of distribution. Professor J. Raymond Schutz of Manchester college, North Manchester, last night attacked government officials, members of the ‘‘brain trust” and federal agencies. Professor Schutz ran for congress on the Republican ticket in the last election. Professor Schutz addressed members of the Indianapolis Bar Asso-

j ciation at a dinner-meeting at the Columbia Club. His subject was “Reconditioning Our Ideals for an Age of Disillusionment.” The professor of economics outlined six requisites for the rebuilding of America, which, he said, had been destroyed economically because !of factors involved in the World war. "These requisites are faith, which must serve as the foundation of the new America; service, which must serve as the motive; co-operation, which must become the method; the golden rule, which must be the law; optimism, which will become the guilding spirit, and character, which must be the goal,” Professor Schutz declared.

LONDON DENIES PLAN TO REGAIN WBIBHTPLANE U. S. Societies Have Made No Requests, Museum Officials S-iy. By United Prexx j LONDON. March B—The first motor-powered airplane to take the air with a human load now hangs in the British Science Museum here. It was made and flown by Americans. But this original machine of the Wright brothers, which made its epoch-making flight at Kittyhawk. N. C., has been in Britain since 1928. The director of the museum denied today that any overtures had been made by any American institution. including the Smithsonian, to acquire the exhibit. The plane, with the dummy of a pilot stretched at full length on a wing close to the body of the machine. hangs between one of the earliest types of glider known and a modern low-winged seaplane, capable of more than 300 miles an hour. The huge hall which houses the machine is filled with other reebrds of mans attempts to conquer the air. The biplane in which Alcock and Brown first flew the Atlantic hangs next to the tiny Moth in which Amy Johnson made her first flight to Australia. Parts of the first model to make a free flight under power, which was furnished by a small steam engine, lie beneath a reconstruction of the same machine. This model was constructed by John Stringfellow as far back as 1848, and has two fourbladed propellors.
