STRENGTHENING OF MOTOR LAW URGED BY CLUB Drivers’ Act Weak, Says Auto Club Head; Asks Action. Urgent nwd for strengthening of the drivers' responsibility law was cited todav by Todd Stoops, secre-tary-manager of the Hoosier Motor Club. The law needs to be strengthened to provide greater safety on the highways.*' Mr Stoops said. "It was passed In 1931, and the practical working of the act has proven It weak.** Mr. Stoops called attention to the provision of the law which suspends a driver's license if a judgment is rendered against him for an accident resulting In damage exceeding SIOO. He contends that damage fram the large majority of accidents does not exceed this sum. and as a consequence careless drivers continue to drive. Another.feature of the law yhich he believes should be improved is the serving of processes on non-resi-dents. It has been found that many nonresident defendants, have refused to accept a process served by mail, and the law should be amended to take care of such cases,” he said SOVIET DECORATES"TWO Americans Receive Highest Award for Rescue Work.

ESCAPE PLOT IS FOILED AT COUNTY JAIL Deputy Sheriff Intercepts Wire and Explosives for Prisoner. Police and the sheriff's office today were seeking clews to the identity of persons who Saturday night attempted to smuggle a small coil of strong wire and a quantity of explosives into the county jail cell of Charles White, 26, of 544 Fletcher avenue, held on burglary charges. A chemical analysis of a whitish powder which was found with the wire and with a quantity of gunpowder was awaited by Sheriff Charles <Buck) Sumner, who yesterday disclosed the delivery attempt, and by Deputy Sheriff Patrick Kmney, who intercepted the escape materials. The materials were sent first to Alex Dunwoody, city chemist, but later given to Indiana university chemists. It was learned that the wire was a magnesium ribbon, which might be used as a fuse, and that the whitish powder probably was powdered aluminum, useful in manufacturing some explosives. The gunpowder, the ‘‘wire’ and the mysterious whitish powder had been wrapped carefully in three or four layers of cellophane and placed in a cardboard container full of strawberry jam. The jam was brought to the jail lor White by a 10-year-old boy, who. Sheriff Sumner believes, is innocent of any complicity in the attempted jail break. Whether White had accomplices inside the jail is not known. He is in the same cellblock with Edward <Foggy) Dean, scheduled to go on trial today on charges of having murdered Police Sergeant Lester Jones.

NEW BLOODSHED FEARED NEAR IN TEXTILESTRIKE Industry Refuses Union’s Peace Proposal as ‘lmpossible.’ (Copyright. 1934. by United Pressi WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.—The textile strike moved into its second week today with chances of immediate arbitration dimmed and prospects of new bloodshed imminent. George A.< Sloan, industry spokesman, came mere to confer with the President's mediation board but he characterized a union peace proposal as “utterly impossible from every standpoint.” His remarks drew a demand from Francis J. Vorman, strike leader, that the board force Mr. Sloan to accept a plan for peaceful settlement of the strike. President William Green of the American Federation* of Labor declared further responsibility for bloodshed was upon the heads of mill owners. The proposal which Mr. Sloan rejected was left open by Mr. Gorman until 6 p. m. today. It provided that the board, headed by Governor John G- Winant of New Hampshire, be authorized to arbitrate the dispute, that meantime all mills remain closed, that the decision be accepted by both sides as final, and that union pickets protect mills during the arbitration period. Refuses to Close Mills Mr. Sloan flatly rejected the proposition that the mills stay shut down. He declared: “The great majority of these employers have no controversies whatever with their employes. Even as to those cotton mills which have been closed down, I know of no case in which the employes have presented demands to their employers. The strike chairman is not authorized to act for the great majority of employes in the matter of arbitration. Nor am I for any of the employers.” To which Mr. Gorman answered. “We have proposed arbitration under fair conditions. We feel they are the only conditions that can make arbitration successful. Mr. Sloan, by his statement, speaking for the industry, shows that he possesses authority to act, as of course he does. “It is no time for shadow boxing behind a pretense of lack of authority. Human lives are at stake, with roving bands of thugs armed by mill owners. “We Are Sincere” “We are sincere about our proposal. We are so sincere that we have timed that offer to expire at 6 tonight. If it is accepted, there will be peace.” That haggling over terms of arbitration might have serious consequences was felt in southern textile centers. Many mill owners planned to try to resume operations today. Fears were great that new conflicts between picket and guards and militia might add to the death toll. The fatality list stood at eleven today with the death of another picket as a result of the violent outbreak at Honea Path, S. C More than 3,000 national guardsmen were on duty in North and South Carolina in an effort to keep the peace. Thousands of men also have been deputized to protect mill property. About 400,000 workers are now idle. This was 100,000 below union estimates. However, 50.000 upholstery, carpet, rug pile fabric and plus mills were ordered to join the walkout today and 25.000 hosiery workers have been called to walk out Wednesday. Bait Casting to Be Displayed C. C. Brockman will give an exhibition of bait casting at 8 tonight at the De Molay chapter house, 1017 Broadway.
