CITY RELIGIOUS LEADERS BACK FUND CAMPAIGN Statements on Charity Drive Are Issued by Civic Chiefs. The Importance of meeting the human nerds of the city’s underprivileged through the Indianapolis Community Fund campaign was stressed today in statements issued by Cathoiic. Jewish and Protestant religious leaders here. Statements come from C. L Harkness. Indianapolis Church Federation president; Rabbi Morns M. Feuerlicht of the Indianapolis Hebrew congregation, and the Most Rev. Joseph E. Ritter, Catholic bishop of Indianapolis. The fifteenth annual fund drive opens Oct. 26 ana will close Nov. 7. The goal is $727,217. Feuerlicht Gives Statement Statements from the religious leaders follow: _ .Rabbi Feuerlicht: •’Depressions come and go in the economic experience of the race, but the problems of the undernourished, underprivileged, and indeed of all such members of the community who are compelled to live below the levels of a normal existence, are always with us. Their solution will always depend. in the last analysis, upon the personal approach and attitude of fellow-members of the community. No government, however powerful and generous, can solve them: because governments, in the nature of the case, always must be impersonal. “It is this personal approach and attitude—in a word, the human element—that constitutes the most beautiful and precious factor in the equation of our social relationships. “The best financial and administrative Instrument yet devised to supply this human element on a local communal scale is the Comunity Fund. Representing as it does every creed and class within the community, our Indianapolis Community Fund has fulfilled admirably its financial and social functions for many years. I earnestly hope and believe that the coming year will witness a still fuller realization of its program through the continued and increased support of the citizens of this our ‘no mean’ and typical American’ city. Mr. Harkness: "With the approach of the winter season, we are again faced with the fact that men are unemployed, and women and children are without adequate and, in many instances, any provision for food, clothing, fuel and shelter. "In addition to all the federal relief agencies can do, we still have many hundreds of our people who are dependent for their very lives upon the willingness of the rest of us to share what we have with them. The real test of our Christian community is in the way we answer this call. “Since the situation must be met promptly and adequately, it is fortunate that we have an efficient and well-managed Community Fund to carry out the work at a minimum of expense and of duplication. "The Indianapolis Church Federation is glad to indorse this enterprise and to bespeak its complete success. We believe the churches and church people of this city will need no urging to do their full part in helping to provide the necessary funds for this most vital cause.” Ritter Gives Indorsement Bishop Ritter: “As the representative of the Catholic people of Indianapolis, I am happy' to give my fullest indorsement to the Community Fund. It is an institution of which every citizen of Indianapolis may feel proud. The sublime purposes to which it is dedicated —the relief of the needy, care of the unfortunate and the homeless, and constructive social work; the conscientious administration of its moneys; the many and important local institutions it helps to maintain, all should make a strong appeal to every loyal citizens of our community. "It is unthinkable that its work should be curtailed in these critical times, or that the good people of Indianapolis should fail to give the approaching Community Fund campaign their enthusiastic and generous support.” GIRL SCOUTS TO HOLD TREE NAMING CONTEST Butler Botanical Gardens to Be Scene of Event. Indianapolis Girl Scouts will take part in a tree naming contest in the Butler university botanical gardens at 9:30 Saturday. Professor Willard N. Clute will offer prizes to the girls giving correct botanical names to the greatest number of trees. All girls will remain to cook their meals over outdoor grills after the contest.

Tragic Story of Carlota and Maximilian Told in Citv Woman’s First Book w

Bertita Harding, Author, Steeped in Lore of Royal Pair. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN Tomorrow Indianapoiis officially will give the world anew writer who is destined to become one of the outstanding writers to “hail” from Hoosier soil. Her name is Bertita Harding, and her first "literary baby” is "Phantom Crown,” the story of Maximilian and Carlota of Mexico, which will be published tomorrow by the Bobbs-Merrill Company. Born in Europe of Rhenish and Hungarian ancestry, she spent much of her youth in Austria-Hungary and later in Mexico. She is the wife of Jack Harding, 3518 Balsam avenue. After years of dreaming, hearing stories from her mother, governess and others, and then accumulating data concerning Maximilian and Carlota, she decided it was her duty to write the great epic of this unfortunate young couple. Claims City as Her Home After meeting Mr. Harding, Indianapolis advertising man, at the University of Minnesota, where she was studying under a guest professor from France, they were married eight years ago. Although she has traveled extensively in this country, giving her costume recital of Carlota, Mrs. Harding claims Indianapolis as her home. “All of the actual writing of ‘Phantom Crown’ was done at our home in this city,” she said, as she autographed first editions, and as her publishers contemplated putting the book into a second printing even before the date of publication of the first. Mrs. Harding said that the book “really wrote itself,” because it had to be written and was a labor of love. Story “Had to Be Told” “I wrote the first chapter in longhand,” she said, “and all other chapters on the typewriter when I got the flow of the thing.” She maintains that all writers seek to get away from actual writing and will invent any excuse. That is the big danger always in lront of any writer, she thinks. “So I stayed home and worked,” she said, “I didn't even give up to the weakness of going to the hair dresser. I did my shampooing and manicuring at home.” Having all the data at her fingertips. Mrs. Harding stayed home and worked day after day on “the story that just had to be told.” ELEPHANT MAKES TRIP TO ZOO BY AIRPLANE Y’oung Pachyderm Leaves New Y’ork for St. Louis.

HOLT HOPES OF PARDONJHMMED •Exceptional Circumstances’ Necessary, Roosevelt Indicates. By Tima £ pedal WASHINGTON, Oct, 11.—Unless President Roosevelt considers the Olin Holt cast one surrounded by “exceptional circumstances,” there will be no executive pardon permitting the Kokomo attorney to serve as Democratic mayor if elected in November. The matter was put directly in the hands of the President by a visit to the White House by Mr. Holt himself. Meanwhile, James A. Finch, pardon attorney in the department of justice, who ordinarily is charged with investigation and recommendation in such matters, wrote to Mrs. Virginia Jenckes, Indiana member of congress, laying down the rule w'hich bars Mr. Holt from tjiis procedure. This rule, adopted by President Roosevelt on May 1, 1934, provides that no former federal prisoner shall be entitled to file a petition for pardon until four years after "discharge from custody, parole or probation.” Mr. Holt, who served a federal sentence for liquor conspiracy, was discharged from prison June 4, 1932. Presidential action is necessary to restore his full citizenship rights and permit him to become mayor if elected. Gangster’s Widow Near Death By United Press BEDFORD. N.

STATE SCHOOL EXPENSES CUT $1^23,790 Healthy Condition of Indiana Education Shown in Report. The healthy condition of education in Indiana, one of the few states in the nation not dependent upon federal aid for its schools, is illustrated graphically in the report issued today from the office of Floyd I. McMurray, state superintendent of public instruction. Compiled by J. W. Bosse, Evansville, department statistician, the reports reveal a current operating expense reduction of $15,623,790 for 1933-34, from the peak year figure of $57,667,426 in 1930-31, or a 27 per cent reduction. In 1930-31, Mr. Bosse points out, the local property taxes for school purposes for the entire state w r ere $60,983,881, against a total of only $38,630,114 in 1933-34, a 36 per cent reduction totalling $22,353,766. However, there was a. huge increase of 981 per cent in the amount, not derived from property tax, returned to local corporations from the state. Where this figure amounted to only $1,062,534 in 1930-31, the return this year was $11,492,517, all derived from sources other than property tax, such as school fund interest, gross income, excise and intangible taxes. And while there was a 21,161 pupil increase in the public grade and high schools, there w r as a 2,514 reduction in teacher personnel which involved a retrenchment in operations Involving larger classes and

The Theatrical World I New Dance Feature of M-G-M’s ‘Student Tour’ BY WALTER D. HICKMAN

YEARS ago it was the stage with its big revues that set the fashion in ballroom dances. Now it is the talking screen and movie directors who are busy making new dances the high-lights of several new screen productions. ' Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer has done this with “Student Tour,” their latest musical movie. The name of this ballroom dance is "The Carlo.” and it was created by Nacio Herb Brown and Arthur Freed. It is the opinion of Chester Hale, famous for his trained dancing groups, that "The Carlo” is the most important evolution in dancing since the Charleston. The creators of "The Carlo” contend that “anybody who can waltz and fox trot can easily dance it,” as soon as the key steps are learned. The creators of “The Carlo” describe the three basic movements to be learned as follows: “First, holding the partner in regular ballroom fashion, the man steps forward left-right-left, leading the girl, either with or without a turn to the left, and the following two counts ace used to change direction. “Second, three steps in any direction, using the fourth and fifth beats to hesitate in the manner of the ‘hesitation’ waltz. “Third, the first three counts are used to balance in any number of increased hours for teachers. There were 696,513 pupils attending school in the current year, and 21,983 teachers in charge. The improvements were effected without the closing of a school or the shortening of any terms, Mr. Bosse pointed out, ,

lovely poses, progressing only on the fourth and fifth beats. “These are the fundamental steps of ‘The Carlo,’ all subject to great variation according to the imagination of the dancers. “It will be evident instantly that five-four time, or five beats to a measure, is anew rhythm in popular music. The waltz is in threefour time; the fox-trot is in twofour or four-four time. “The Carlo is in five-four time, which is anew, intriguing and fascinating rhythm, and an evolution in popular dance music. “The dance is at once dignified and extremely rhythmic. It combines the grace of the waltz with the syncopated rhythm of the foxtrot. It will not in any manner interfere with the present trend of woman's styles toward trains, since the train will add immeasurably to the beauty of ‘The Carlo.’ It is almost as though the dance were conceived for the beauty and grace of the evening gown of today. “The accenting of ‘The Carlo' rhythm Is on the first and fourth beats, which fact never should be overlooked, as the dance gains in character when these counts are clearly accented. “If difficulty is experienced by musicians in conducting or playing this number for dancing, it should be conducted three-in-a-bar, then two-in-a-bar. and not five even counts.. Dancers also should note and remember this.” “Student Tour,” with “The Carlo” as its dance feature, opens tomorrow at Loew’s Palace. a a tt FOR the benefit of the Marion county chapter of the American War Mothers, a concert will be giv-
