IGNORING POLLUTION, STATE CATERS TO ‘BIG BUSINESS’ WHILE CHILDREN DARE DISEASE Millions Bern# Spent for Dredging- of River for l\ S. Steel’s Barges While Youngsters Play in Infested Waters. 'Continued From Page One)

streams under their domain and not in whether those streams have become diseased cespools. In obtaining the proper laws against polluting .'■'ate streams as well as border waters the state board of health as well as the state conservation department admits that Uncle Sam can be

expected to give no aid. Virgil M Simmons, conservation department director, and his able assistant, Kay Kunkel, see in the steel-dominated Lake county area bolstering of the faction that votes against all remedial legislation to end industrial as well as municipal pollution of streams. It is conceded that with five counties. Lake. Vigo. Marion, St. Joseph, and Vanderburg. favoring anti-pollution measures in the next legislature that claws could be put in laws to end the ravishment of bounteous pools of bluegiils and the infesting of river and lake bathing spots with diseases langing tha medical alphabet. Pursue Two (/nurses Two courses are being pursued by two divisions of the state government to bring about firm obedience to conservation and health laws. The first course, under the sanitary division of the state board of health board, led by L. A. Geupel. chief engineer, is the mandating or ordering of cities, as well as industries, to abate pollution. Mr. Geupel has given numerous cities in the state orders to contruct sewage disposal plants and abate injury to puclic health by pouring streams of wastes into rivers. A test case on his order of abatement is pending against Ft. Wayne lr the Allen county circuit court. A motion for a change of venue to an- j other county will be argued this' fail. Precedent May Be Set If the health board wins it will set a precedent, providing the state supreme court upholds the ruling, that will give at least one set of jaw-teeth to the state's pollution laws. Other cities, where orders already have been given, then may be expected to fall into line and. instead of spending the taxpayers’ money to fight the state's mandate, use the legal expense toward the j construction of sewage disposal j works. The second course is being taken i by the conservation department ■ under Mr. Simmons and Mr. Kun- j kel. with W. H. Frazier, sanitary engineer of the department, directing the field work. That course is to visit leading j manufacturers, as well as municipal- | ities, and attempt to educate them; to the saving in health, recreation. ! contentment, as well as property, m keeping the rivers and streams clean. Survey to Be Made Mr. Frazier is at work on rendering plants, straw board factories, canneries, and other chief polluters of the state's rivers. Within the next few weeks he will J make a survey of the damage being I done by brewers and distillers to! fish life as well as to swimming wa tors. Distilleries at. Lawrenceburg. shown to be polluting a creek during the recent series of The Times, will be one of the places investigated by | Mr Frazier. Correction of rendering plant j w astes is now under consideration of j the state health board, state veteri- \ nary, as well as Mr. Frazier. The conservation department's! engineer, in making recommendations for abolishing rendering plant wastes says: " Peak of production of these plants usually is during the warm months when water is low in streams and lakes. Conditions in many cases amount to a nuisance and affect health, agriculture, and aquatic life.*’ Fines Are Slight He proposes that the process of evaporation be used to end the plant waste. He further urges that plants fail- ! me to install the system have their license revoked by the state veterinarian. The present Indiana law as it applies to pollution, both from the violations touched in the state health department's domain and that of the fish and game division of the conservation department, are for the most part slight fines of approximately an average of 350 for each violation through a public nuisance. Factories, as well as municipalities. find it easier, or at least in their mind it is easier, to pay the court fines, and hire attorneys to battle cases, than to end pollution. Authority is divided in keeping the streams clean, and in the realm of industrial pollution, unless it seriously affects public health, the health board is powerless to act. The conservation department's law is weak. Propose New Department Officials of the conservation department. therefore, propose the creation of anew department, similar to one in Maryland, which would be known as the "water resources commission. ’ This commission not only would have power to act in all pollution questions involving rivers and lakes but deal with dams and the keeping of streams at proper levels. The department would be a court which without interfering with riparian rights would preserve streams intact for the public good. Farmers living along streams would be the only ones that would have prior rights over the streams. The commission would prevent industries from making rivers a haven of bacteria, odors, and sludge beds. Hinge* on "Big Five" It is hoped that it would restore the historical streams of song and Indian lore to the fisherman, the summer vacationist, the farmer, as well as giving industry its boiler watr. success of obtaining the commission. or rewriting Indiana s pollution laws, is expected to hinge on the Big Five and its preponderantly heavy legislative representation—

Lake, Vigo. St. Joseph, Vanderburgh and Marion counties. Until that day of millennium the boy that swims must look to his bacteriological book and depend on the family doctor to bring him out of the fevers that infest waters, the fishermen must be satisfied with Hoosierdom's carp, or spend their money in other states, and the insomnia from sleeping near odorous and mosquito-infested streams still will force the average citizen to sleep potions from his neighborhood drugstore. THE END. LABOR ASKS COY FOR RELIEF POST Union Chiefs Send Telegrams to McNutt Urging His Appointment. Wayne Coy, secretary to Governor Paul V. McNutt, is Indiana labor's choice the important post of director of the state commission on unemployment relief, it was learned yesterday. Telegrams have been sent the Governor by Adolph Fritz, secretary of the State Federation of Labor, and Alex Gordon of the Railroad Trainmen's Union, urging selection of Mr. Coy. Mr. Coy is the Governor’s secretary in charge of penal affairs. In that capacity he is paid $3,250 a year and would receive a nice boost in salary if he heads the state unemployment commission, which carries a $5,200 annual salary. The Governor is known to feel that Mr. Coy is ideally fitted for the unemployment post, but is reluctant to spare him from his duties in the Governor's office.

Life Begins at 40, Say

Women Rebuking Doctor on His Insanity Evidence

INDIANAPOLIS women rose up in defense of their sex today with indignation and amusement. Confronted with the statement of Dr. Joseph L. Storey, Indianapolis physician, yesterday that 60 per cent of all women over 40 were more or less insane, women prominent in the social and civic life ol Indianapolis joined to give the doctor the "razzberry.”

Dr. Storey made hish stand as a defense witness in the trial of Mrs. Ann Sandstrom, Indianapolis, convicted of manslaughter in the death of her lover, Carl Thompson, Indianapolis coffin salesman. “Gracius,” gasped Mrs. De--machus Brown, well-known club lecturer and world traveler. “I think that's a terrible statement! I'm pleased to inform Dr. Storey that I belong to the 40 per cent. “I may be frail from my ankles down, but from the neck up I'm all right. The statement reminds me of the old question, ‘Are women people?’ If Dr. Storey had said ‘people’ in stead of ‘women,’ I might agree with him, but in view of the crazy things men of all ages do, I think he's wrong in confining his accusation to women. “Women never would be capable o doing the things the Hitlerites in Germany are doing.” nan "IT7ELL-VERSED in the peculiarities of the human race through her hobby of studying palms, Mrs. George Phillip Meier scoffed at Dr. Storey: “If that's his mental attitude, he probably has produced a similar attitude in the women he has met. He has irritated them until they have wanted to squelch him. A doctor making a statement of that kind must have been seeking front page publicity.” Surprise that a physician would make such a statement was expressed by Dr. Amelia Keller, woman physician, club leader, and pioneer in woman's suffrage. "If he had said the whole human family I might agree with him." Dr. Keller said. “Everybody is insane to a certain degree, but I don't think women have a preponderance of that condition." n tt a MORE men than women are treated for mental troubles at city hospital, Mrs. Margaret Lowder. social service worker in charge of the psychopathic ward, pointed out in defense of her sex. “We have thirteen beds for women and seventeen for men,” she said. "We almost always are able to make room for female patients, "while the accommodations for men often are crowded. We experience the same difficulty in getting? patients transferred to the Central Hospital for the Insane.” From the background of her work providing occupational therapy for mental and physical patients at city hospital, Mrs. Grace Bennett discounted Dr. Storey's figures.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

“I think statistics would prove the statement entirely too broad,” Mrs. Bennett said. "I know numbers of women past forty, yet few of them could be considered insane.”

VASSAR GIRL FOUND SLAIN IN CAPITAL Death of Lindbergh Lawyer’s Daughter Probed. By United Press WASHINGTON. July 21.—Police today investigated the apparently accidental death of Louise Breckinridge. 17, daughter of Colonel Henry Breckinridge, attorney for Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh. The body of the young woman, a Vassar college sophomore and member of Washington's younger social set, was found shot to death about two blocks from her home. Beside her was a .22 caliber rifle which she had taken with her to practice targfiet shooting. Police believed the young woman might have tripped in climbing the fence and accidentally discharged her rifle. While inclined to that belief police said they would investigate thoroughly. MRS. PICCARD TO SEEK NEW BALLOON RECORD Hop May Be Made Ftom Detroit During August.

Arriving here with her husband, Mrs. Piccard spoke of flying among the cosmic rays some 50.000 feet overhead in the same matter-of-fact way that the average housewife might talk of washing her dinner dishes. “Everything is ready,” she said, “except sponsorship for our flight. The balloon we are to use in our ascension is one used in the balloon races last year.

AL FEENEY HELPS TO FIND PLEAS’ DOG; NOW FOR THE GOAT!

Pleas Greenlee, executive secretary to Governor Paul V. McNutt, is very happy today. So is a chubby-faced urchin, name unknown. And last, but not least, so is “Tuck,” Mr. Greenlee's prize Llewellyn setter pup. Mr. Greenlee has “Tuck,” the urchin has a dollar, and "Tuck” has a comfortably filled stomach after several days of vagabondage. The dog escaped from the Governor’s office this week. Bright and early at 7:15 yesterday morning, A1 G. Feeney, state safety director, entered the statehouse. He saw the urchin with dog in tow. “What’ve you got there, bud?” said Al, who has had several political brushes with the Governor’s patronage chief. “That’s Mr. Greenlee’s dog, I think,” said the boy. “Well, you’d better come in and wait because Mr. Greenlee is very anxious to have him back,” said Al as he patted the puppy. The boy came in. Mr. Greenlee arrived. All was well. Five-sevenths of the estimated coal reserves of the world are in North America.

Latest Forgery Due to Misplaced Kindness of Friend, Buck Believes

SENTENCED to prison for from one to five years for petit larceny, Howard Buck, 33, convicted forger, believes that his present misfortune is the result of the misplaced kindess of a friend. Twice within five years Buck has been saved from long imprisonments by attempts of medical authorities to eliminate his criminal tendencies through operations which would relieve supposed pressure on his brain. Wednesday he was sentenced a third time by Criminal Judge Frank P. Baker.

The crime which led this sentence was not caused by any brain defeat, but by a strainge chain of events which found him paroled from the Ohio penitentiary, Columbus, on the strength of a promise of a nonexistent job, Buck says. “I was assistant to the superintendent of construction in the penitentiary and helped a Pittsburgh construction company in the installation of two huge boilers there,” he said. “The foreman told me to write him when I was up for parole, and he would have a job for me. On his written assurance that there was a job waiting for me in Pittsburgh, I was paroled with a suit of clothes and $lO. t> tr tt “T arrived in Pittsburgh with X less than $5 in my pocket, needing a change of clothing which I didn’t have. When I applied for the job I found that not only did my friend have no job for me, but that he no longer had one for himself. “He believed he was doing me a favor in getting me out of the penitentiary, instead, he had placed me on the streets of Pittsburgh without money, clothing or friends. I tried to find work without success. “I wrote the prison authorities, advising them of the situation, and telling them that I was goto Indianapolis, to try to get work,” Buck continued. “Then I hitch-hiked here, and inquired where to find Bert Fuller, believing that he would help me find work.” Bert Fuller, Indianapolis insurance man, prominent Republican, and campaign manager for former Governor Harry G. Leslie, was

successf Jl in interesting the Governor in Buck’s case in 1929. Through their influence, Buck received his first brain operation. The brain defect, Buck says, was caused by injuries sustained in a football game in 1922, when he said he was a player for the University of Chicago, playing against Purdue university. Two years later Buck underwent a second operation for a recurrence of the brain trouble, while serving anotner sentence for forgery in the Ohio state penitentiary, Columbus. “When I inquired about Mr. Fuller, I was misinformed that he was dead,” Buck explained. “I was despondent over the chain of bad luck and decided to drown by worries in drink. During a drinking spree which lasted several days I committed the crime for which I have just been sentenced. “I told the judge yesterday that I’d be willing to take a chance on coming under the habitual criminal law if they would give me another chance,” he said. “One more offense and they can send me to prison for life But, if I get that chance, or if I’m paroled in a year, I’m going to try to show them that I can go straight. “I’d go away where I didn’t know any one, lay off the booze and make a man of myself.” City Flower Mission to Meet The board of directors and advisory board of the Indianapolis Flower Mission will meet at 11 Monday in the offices of Arthur V. Brown, Union Trust building.

HAWAII LACKS GRASS SHACKS DESPITE SONGS President Won't See Isles as Tin Pan Alley Has Pictured Them. Thia ia thr axrond of tn rtiapatrhra in which Dan Camptwll. for four tear* Vnitcd Prca.a staff corrcapondc nt at Honolulu, ahaltcra some of the popular conception* aa to what Prcaidcnt Roosevelt probably will see in Hawaii. BY DAN CAMPBELL United Press Staff Correspondent (CoDvrieht. 1934. bv United Press' If you had any notion that they would be dusting out the “little grass shack" down in Kealakekua for the visit of a President, just count it as fantastic as finding a tepee in Manhattan. The Tin Pan alley conception to the contrary, there aren't any little grass shacks in Hawaii, commercial excepted, and you can see one just as authentic at the Hawaiian exhibit at the World's fair. President Roosevelt will sleep in a royal Hawaiian hotel suite lonco occupied by the king of Siam) having in common with grass shacks only the absence of either heating or cooling systems. City Rambling and White As the cruiser Houston turns her prow into the coal-locked harbor, Mr. Roosevelt will see a rambling white city of modern buildings, fronted by great concrete wharves, with sloping hills and rugged mountains for a backdrop. The hills are dotted with green and white low sprawling houses like Mediterranean villas; their neighbors may be stately colonial mansions. stucco haciendas or just ordinary houses. Asa whole they are the same architectural nightmare you find in suburbs of Connecticut or Jersey. About the great battleship as she moves to her berth will be swarms of brown diving boys. They are Polynesians. But don't let that startle you. They probably speak better English than the average Anglo-Saxon high school graduate; have bodies that suggest a combination of Maxie Baer's brawn and Rudolph Valentino's grace, and maybe tomorrow's Olympic champions. No sports lover is likely to forget Duke Kahanamoku. Natives Prefer Filet of Sole A parade of graceful sampans will glide by carrying bronzed little fishermen, whose fathers may havn worshiped the Rising Sun of Nippon, but these are sons of Hawaii, who probably prefer their filet of sole from the skillet rather than eels raw from the deep. Primitive tropics? Hardly. Gleaming white yachts carrying sons and daughters of New England missionaries, who sport Oxford accents and Patou gowns, will glide off the starboard and port. Overhead, an armada of army and navy planes will roar with an ear-thundering salute that will drive from the mind the swish of grass skirts. From the dock the President will drive through narrow streets and if you still persist you may count them “foreign,” but it is only the same lack of planning Ujefc characterizes municipalities from New York to San Francisco. Fishing by Torchlight He may eat sukeyaki at an authentic Japanese tea house or saimin in a Chinese garden. Geisha girls in komono will serve him in the former and Mandarian-coated Chinese in the latter, but both probably will be American high school girls, who shed their costumes for cheap Paris imitation streetwear as a Broadway chorine sheds her spangles. The President probably will watch the ancient art of fishing with spears by torchlight, but he will use modern tackle himself. If the Humuhumunukunukuapuaa still go swimming by at the beach at Hoonaunau he may have a bit of difficulty in asking for them, but he will find them fine bait for the au, a swordfish worthy of his hook. Outside of value to song writers, the Humuhumunukunukuapuaa’s principal use is bait. Finally, the President probably will be greeted by the last representative of royalty. She is Princess Kaw’ananakoa, Republican national committeewoman for Hawaii.
