END DEPRESSION WITH INFLATION, WIRT SU6GESTS
Gary School Head Believes Hoover Could Have Averted Crash. By United Press GARY. Ind.. Sept. 24.—Dr. William Wirt, who sent a congressional committee searching for the “red” influence in the federal government, today advanced his own theory on how to end the depression and prevent future ones. In his first extensive interview since he held the national limelight with the story that he had been told President Roosevelt was the “Kerensky of this .revolution,” the Gary school superintendent declared that "major depressions are due to just one thing,” and then prescribed a preventive. “That one thing.” he said, “is two kinds of prices—one for raw commodities on a free market and another for manufactured goods on a partially fixed market.” Two Treatments Possible But, he continued, our present money economy is based on a price equilibrium. If that is upset, he said, trade stagnates. Dr. Wirt said two treatments are possible when stagnation occurs They are: 1. Reduce prices of manufactured goods and cut debts and taxes until they are on a parity with agricultural and raw commodity prices. 2. Inflate the medium of currency until raw materials, including farm products, reach a price parity with manufactured goods. / Dr. Wirt admitted 1 it would be most difficult to effect the first solution of cutting prices, debts and taxes. But he insisted revaluation of the dollar could and should be worked out by the government. If President Hoover had allowed dollar revalution in 1930. Dr. Wirt believes, most of the suffering of the depression could have been averted. In vindication of his arguments. Dr. Wirt pointed to the summer boom of 1933 which came almost immediately after the dollar was allowed to find its own level in foreign exchange. ‘Radicals’ Are Blamed “That action brought this country in line with twenty-nine other nations,” he argued. “It gave us an up-to-date currency. If NRA regimentation had not hindered, we would have been out, or practically out, of the depression now.” He blamed the “radicals” in Washington for trying to impose social legislation as well as recovery. The school superintendent approved much of the forward-looking social legislation, but he raised the question, “Is this the right time to start it?” He answered his own question—“lt is not.” CLEANERS AND DYERS ASSOCIATION MEETS 200 Attend Annual Convention at Antlers. Committee reports were the principal business of the day at the annual convention of the Indiana Association of Cleaners and Dyers which is being hold at the Antlers.

‘TIMES, NEWS, STAR,’ FOUNDLING KITTENS, ADOPTED BY SCRIBES Police reporters on the three local newspapers have become the puzzled guardians of three adopted. foundling kittens left in the police roll call room last night by an anonymous donor. A note was left in the press room explaining that the were "good, serious kittens” and should be adopted by the reporters inasmuch as the mama cat had too large a brood already. The kittens, mewing loudly, were discovered tied in a burlap sack. The kittens have been named "News,” “Times” and "Star.”
2 MORE HELD IN MURDEROF BOY Youths, 18, Nabbed Under Bridge, Where Body Was Found. The number of persons arrested in connection with the murder two weeks ago of Donald Edward Dillon, 13, today had mounted to six as police, apparently baffled, continued their investigation along two widely divergent paths. The latest suspects are Charles Duffy, 18, of 2016 Shelby street, and Carl Shoemaker, also 18, of the same address. They were arrested late Saturday afternoon under the bridge over Pleasant Run creek at Minnesbta and Shelby streets, where Donald's body was found Tuesday, Sept. 11. Police, who charged the pair with vagrancy, said they had been annoying women passing over the bridge. It also was indicated that police might be swinging back to the theory that Donald met his death at the hands of a degenerate. Arrested on the day of the murder were two Negroes—William and Addison Jackson, brothers, 1253 Calhoun street, who still are held on vagrancy charges. The mother, Mrs. Dimmie Dillon, 35, of 1871 Shelby street, was freed Saturday when a neighbor posted $2,000 bond. Gilbert Jacobs, 37, for whom Mrs. Dillon kept house at the Shelby street address, still is held in the county jail in default of $2,000 bond. He and Mrs. Dillon will face Juvenile Judge John F. Geckler tomorrow on child neglect charges preferred by police in an attempt to hold the pair. Shirley C. Dillon, father of the murdered boy, will face similar charges at the same time. These were preferred by Mrs. Dillon, apparently because she believed her husband had aided the police in attempts to make a case against her. SPIRITUAL NEEDS ARE STRESSED BY COL. HITES Volunteers of America Head Gives Sermon at Headquarters. Spiritual welfare plays the most important part in the progress of humanity, declared Colonel Earle F. Hites, executive director of the Volunteers of America, in his chapel talk on "The Perils of a Vacant Heart,” at the headquarters last night. “There is a great need today for more patience in our lives to bring them into more perfect subjection to the love and will of God,” asserted Colonel Hites.

CAVINS AWAITS MATTICE VIEW IN COHNAPPEAL Ruling Due Saturday Unless State Asks Further Argument. Unless Floyd Mattice. chief deputy prosecutor, elects to present additional argument. Special Judge Alexander G. Cavins expects to hand down his decision Saturday on the application for anew trial of Melville S. Cohn, convicted Mever-Kiser bank vice-president. Mr. Mattice is expected to submit a memorandum in response to charges of Frank Dailey, chief defense counsel, that the trial judge prejudiced the defense by jury instructions regarding the weight that should be given the defendant's testimony. Mr. Cohn has been convicted of embezzlement in connection with the failure of the banking house. Mr. Dailey and Paul Y. Davis argued before Judge Cavins Saturday that every court in the country has repudiated the rule expressed by Judge Cavins in charging the trial Jury that testimony of the defendant, unfavorable to himself must be considered true as a matter of law. Concluding argument before Judge Cavins. Mr. Davis held Mr. Cohn can not be convicted of embezzlement unless it is shown there was a breach of duty. “There is nothing immoral about this defendant using the bank's money in a way the bank directed,” Mr. Davis declared.
