Plaster Cast on Back Fails to Stop Pat Visits Friends in Ambulance

BY HELEN LINDSAY Timn Staff Writer AFTERNOON tea parties in an ambulance are becoming regular social events in Indianapolis, with charming Charlotte Pat McFadden. 839 West drive, Woodruff Place, as hostess. "Pat” entertains in unique fashion, lying on her back on a stretcher, her slender young body incased in a heavy plaster cast. In spite of such a handicap, she wears the same happy smile with which she greeted college classmates last semester, before she was forced to relinquish her sophomore studies at Indiana university because of curvature of the spine. For four months, "Pat” has lain in a cast waiting for nine inches of bone grafted from her leg into her spine to heal. Each day her hundreds of friends have called on her. The heavy plaster cast is covered with the autographs of her friends who have visited her. Near Pat's bed is a penny bank, in which these friends have deposited coins on their visits. Pat. has been an active girl all her life, and even her cheerful disposition failed to keep her from yearning for excitement, a a a ONE day she counted the pennies in the bank. Then she called J. C. Wilson, owner of an ambulance. "What will it cast to take a ride in your ambulance?” she asked. It was an unusual query, and resulted in the first of a series of odd pleasure trips. Seated in the ambulance beside Pat's stretcher, two of her sisters, Miss Ruth Elizabeth McFadden and Mrs. W. H. Forsyth, and one or two of her girl firends accompanied her on an ambulance tour of the city. Other firends. advised of the trip, drove in their own automobiles to a soft drink stand on North Illinois street at the canal. The reunion of friends there was

such a happy one that other rips were planned. Recently, Pat entertained again at the stand. Greeting her were Misses Hazel Guio, Betty Hughes, Lois Williams and Ruth Epply. Pat expects to be removed from the cast Sept. 1, and plans to continue her studies at Butler university this fall, where she will be under observation of her physician.

MINTON FLAYS ‘CHISELERS’ IN VETERANS TALK Democrat Senate Candidate Promises to Aid •Deserving.’ (Continued from Page One) meetings in a bid for the veteran vote. Yesterday Senator Robinson and Mr. Minton journeyed to Corydon in the southern part of the state and addressed 3.000 Indiana veterans from the same platform. The occasion was American Legion day at the Harrison county fair. Mr. Minton, who lost the toss of a coin, spoke first, and pledged his support to all worth-while veteran legislation which did not run contrary to the best interests of the country as a whole. Senator Robinson again sounded the 1934 battle cry of the Republican party ‘‘to defend the Constitution,” "viewed with alarm” the condition of the country under the New Deal, and flayed Agriculture Secretary Henry A. Wallace, Dr. Rexford Guy Tugwell, Mr. Wallace's undersecretary. and other "brain-trusters.” Immediately auer speaking, Mr. Minton hurried to his home at New Albany, where his wife is gravely ill. "If I get to Washington, I’ll do everything possible that really is constructive for the veteran,” said Mr. Minton, "But I will not do anything for the many able-bodied chiselers among the veterans who are preventing the really disabled men from receiving deserved benefits. “You will, soon hear my distinguished opponent,” said Mr. Minton referring to Senator Robinson for the first time, "speak of the veteran who was thrown out of a Dayton hospital without ‘a shirt to his back.’ "Perhaps the distinguished defender of the Constitution doesn't remember when not only veterans, but practically every working man lost his shirt during the administration of Mr. Hoover. "There is a menace confronting the United States today, Senator Robinson warned. “It is a question of the loss of freedom and liberty. The issue in this campaign is the maintenance of democracy.” "Everybody is in danger of going to jail,” he ' asserted, "due to the new laws. Today we still may accumulate property and have free speech but no man knows what tomorrow holds.” Vatican Denies Nazi Report VATICAN CITY, Aug. 23.—A Vatican spokesman today described as premature talk of an agreement between the German government and the Holy See.

"Nobody in the boxing game can stand up to Max Baer today" said Jack Dempsey as he clinched with a piece of breakfast melon at his suite in the Claypool this morning. He arrived early today to referee the three final bouts being presented tonight at Perry stadium. Dempsey today looks in perfect fighting trim. There was only the barest suggestion of weight around his waist as it showed through the deep red silk dressing gown the former champion donned for his "bout” with his Indianapolis breakfast. Boxing was the topic for a while, but the real champion who has Jack's interest at the present isn't Max Baer, it’s little Joan Hannah Dempsey, who entered the ring Aug. 4, and already has a decision over her famous dad. Baby Joan is home in New York with her mother, the lovely Hannah Williams, and the former champion, after two more stops to fulfill a contract for refereeing bouts, is going to hurry east for another look at the title-holder of the Dempsey household.

The secretary .said he was at a loss to understand the circulation of various financial rumors in various parts of the world. "The financiers." he .said, "seem to take seriously rumors from South Africa, Shanghai and Timbuctoo. Why these places claim to know definitely what I'm going to do is more than I can see." Mr. Morgnethau said there had been no change in treasury policy with respect to permitting free export of gold from the United States to foreign gold countries whenever the American dollar falls below par. Reports of an impending new international monetary war among leading nations met with silence from the treasury secretary. Monetary War Looms Bjl I niti il Press PARIS.
