DICTATORS RUIN EUROPE'S HOPE, COL KNOX SAYS Chicago Publisher Finds Basis for Recovery Abroad. By United Press BERLIN, June I.—Europe is suffering from “dictatorial disease’’ and can not recover its economic stability until political problems are settled, Colonel Frank Knox, one of America’s outstanding newspaper publishers, said today in an interview with the United Press. The United States, Great Britain and France, he said, were the world's last remaining hopes for democracy. Colonel Knox, publisher of the Chicago Daily News, has just come from Moscow on a European tour of study embracing Italy, Austria, Poland, Germany, France and Great Britain. Press Freedom Throttled ■‘Everywhere I have been,” he said, “I have found a sound basis for economic recovery. But national and international political disturbances are militating against recovery. “One country after another seeks dictatorial solutions—it is really dictatorial disease, whose worst scourge is the throttling of the freedom of the press and the right to criticism. “It is most difficult to prophesy the future of any individual European country, but one thing I do know is that the United States, Great Britain and France are the world's last remaining hopes for democracy. Russians Still Exploited “I am convinced that the Fascist or Soviet solution would be absolutely unworkable in the United States. “Take Russia, for example. Russians today are actually exploited as much as ever they were under the czars, only the exploiters have changed, and to a certain extent the methods used have been changed. Discipline by brutality still prevails. “Os 160.000.000 people, 2,000,000 people rule the country. Yet even these 2,000,000 have no personal liberty. The worker has no freedom. Labor is compulsory. Wages are fixed. Farmer Still Unimproved “Collective farming has not yet I produced an improvement in the farmer’s condition. He is resentful. He would prefer to have his own land back. “From 4,000,000 to 7,000,000 people starved in 1933. Yet the public so far as the newspapers were concerned knows nothing of it. “It is meaningless to talk of freedom in Soviet Russia. I do not know whether the Russian experiment is better for Russians than the old system. But I do know it is not the system for the United States or the i - est of the civilized world.” MOTORIST FREED ON MANSLAUGHTER COUNT Coroner’s Testimony Exonerates Driver of Death Car.

Feeney and Guyon, Former Grid Pals; Swap ‘lnsults’ in Statehouse Talk

One-Time All-America Stars Recall Good Old Days Way Back When. BY JAMES DOSS Times Staff Writer Old times together when they were members of the Canton (O.) world’s professional football champions were recalled when Joe Guyon, all-time all-America Indiana star, and A1 Feeney, state safety director and an all-America himself, got together at the statehouse. Guyon, now baseball coach of the Louisville A. A. team, was one of the famous Canton back field of Jim Thorpe, Pete Calak of Carlisle, and Griggs of Texas, when Feeney played center for Canton. Six feet and 200 pounds of athlete, Guyon looks like he still could get out there on the gridiron and show the current generation of football players what a back can do. “Insults” Exchanged Irish and Indian faces split with grins when the first “remember when?” was asked. There was the usual exchange of insults when old friends get together. “Looks like Dillinger has given you gray hair, Al,” said Guyon, who really can grin from ear to ear in a wholesouled expression of amiability. “Yeah, you’d have gray hair, too,” countered Feeney, “if you didn’t have an old Indian hair dye recipe.” Toughest Game Recalled “Remember the toughest game we ever won with Canton, Al, when we called you out of the line into the back field?” asked Guyon. Al remembered. “We were playing the Buffalo AllAmericans at Buffalo,” recalled Guyon, “and they wouldn’t play us unless we bet. “Boy, no foolin’, the mud was a foot thick on that field and none of us backs could get loose. Jim (Thorpe) couldn’t get going because he couldn’t get his legs off the ground and Calak and Griggs and I were the same way. Such Is Fame “Well, sir, we worked the ball down to about fifteen yards finally and we called Al back from center to kick. He booted her—and it was just like kicking a lump of lead.

30 'Test Tube’ Babies Live in City; Process Practiced Here 15 Years

AS the result of a highly scientific process to which childless couples have turned in desperation, approximately thirty “test tube” babies are living in Indianapolis today. These facts, startling in the light of press dispatches from New York, are not unusual to the medical profession, leading Indianapolis obstetricians told The Times today. An extremely delicate operation, not unlike that of blood transfusion, this process has been performed here as long as fifteen years ago. , Artificial insemination, as the process technically is called, has tfett

That soggy and water-logged ball hit the bar, bounced up in the air and then just laid over the bar. We won, 3 to 0.” “Yeah, and I got a good lesson in humility out of that game,” put in Feeney. “We were walking off the field and our faces were black with mud. You couldn't even see our numbers. Some fellow said, ‘who kicked that goal?’ “Al Feeney,” said Al, very importantly. “Feeney?” the questioner said, according to Al, “who the hell is Feeney?” And Al recalled the time at Cleveland he went to sleep at game time in a downtown hotel. In this case, it was “where the hell is Feeney” and a phone call routed the former Notre Dame star out of a sound sleep. “They sent a former race driver for me,” said Al, “and we went out Euclid avenue at a pace that had me hanging on the door handle. “I tried to slow this guy down, but didn’t have any luck. Well, we’re doing about seventy and a police hustle wagon pulled out in front of us. We hit the police car on the slowdown and the race driver flew out of the door like a bat out of—well, where bats come out of fast—and hit a tree. “I hung on to the wheel and wasn’t hurt a bit.

There is no difference in children born in this scientific fashion, the physicians said. “You newspapermen all are behind the times,” they asserted when first informed of the nature of the interview. A New York reporter claimed a scoop when he wrote the story of “test tube” babies. The medical profession has taken cognizance of the process and recommended it for a decade, city experts said. There is no way of determining

“A big copper said, ‘Well, guess we’d better take a little ride downtown.’ “I told him I had to go to a football game,” said Al, but he knew an answer to that and said, “uh, uh, you’re going to jail.” “But I’ve got to play,” Al said he insisted. “The cop looked at me a minute and said, ‘what’s your name lad?’ “Feeney,” said Al. “H-mm,” said the cop. “Well, climb in and we’ll take you out.” So Al continued the ride in the police car and the race driver got SSO and costs. The cop’s name was Murphy. Joe Jr. Hopes to Star The football name of Guyon isn’t going to end with Joe, because there’s a Joe Jr. who’s going to Notre Dame and talks of nothing else. “Yeah,” said Joe, “only 16 and weighs 160. And he won’t stand for that Joe Jr. stuff. He’s ‘Little Joe’ and everybody has to remember it.” “You going to send him to as many schools as you went to, Joe?” put in Al. “You must have about four or five caps and gowns and I know you played four years at every school you went to.” “Aw, nuts,” said Joe, scraping a somewhat embarrassed foot while that quick and all-embracing gfrin split the Guyon pan again.

One Indianapolis physician said that the plan outlined in New York whereby a clinic would be instituted to carry on the process was “too visionary.” “Civilization is not ready to accept children born, artificially or naturally, to unmarried women,” he declared. “I have recommended artificial impregnation when married couples are desperately anxious for a child which they can not conceive naturally.”
