WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 12. 1834 THAT THEY MAY LIVE This I know without being told Tlx time to live as I grow old. Tls time short pleasures now to take, Os little Life the best to make. And manage wisely the last stake. —ABRAHAM COWLEY. a u u YJUT how many of us. in this era of panics ord near-panics, are able to manage wisely, not only the LAST stake, but from day to day? The terrific problem of providing for the aged and indigent in Indiana will be one of the major questions before the Indiana State Lecislature when it convenes next month. Supporting moves to make the Indiana plan more liberal will be the Fraternal Order of Eagles, members of which have been rallying in support of tht’r humanitarian program for several years Elsewhere in today's paper will be found a national story pointing out that in the United State today there are 18 million persons on relief That is another terrific problem of this era. Indiana contributes many thousands to tne relief roils. There now are 14,000 aged in Indiana receiving pensions and there are thousands more who are eligible lor the offering. a a u IN the 1935 session of the Legislature the Eagles will ask that the pension eligibility age be reduced from 70 to 65 years; that the maximum payment be raised from sls to $26 a month; that property exemption be increased from SIOOO to $3500; that the county residence requirement be slashed from 15 to five years and that county officials be COMPELLED to meet payments. Today the present law, which was passed by the last session of General Assembly, provides for payment of the pensions but does not make the obligation mandatory. Consequently, Randolph County officials complied with the law by appropriating $1 for old-age pension obligations. The officials followed the law to the letter—but certainly did not support its moral demands. Frank E. Hering, chairman of the Eagles National Old-Age Pension Commission, points out that the order was the first organized group to battle for the aged poor. “In 1921 not a state or county in the United States w'as paying pensions," he says. “True, commissions In several states had already investigated the need of pensions and the costs of poorhouses; and California, Arizona and the Territory of Alaska briefly had tried to launch pension payments. But there was no public support for this system of aged care and nothing permanent had eventuated.” a u MR. HERING cites highlights in the organization's battle and points to the State of Montana as having passed the first bill in 1923. “A federal law is an immediate probability.” Mr. Hering continues. “President Roosevelt has indicated that he believes the time is nearly ripe for such action. The people of the United States have shown unmistakably that they favor this plan. We have, indeed, come a long way since the days when old-age pensions were regarded as radical.” And, Mr. Hering. there is a long road ahead. Enactment of the pension laws In various states probably will be followed by revisions to insure needed guaranties. Indiana is the place to start on the latter part of the program. The legislators of this state have a huge humanitarian obligation facing them. They can not afford to dodge the issue. To sidestep it W’ould be absolute failure to aid those who can not aid themselves. BUY THEM EARLY T'HE “Buy Early” Christmas slogan well may be applied to the purchase of automobile licenses Throughout the city and county, the State of Indiana has designated several locations in which you can purchase your 1935 license plates. Those plates are due on your car not later than Dee. 31 and failure to purchase them will result in the usual furor of threatened arrests and motorists' guilty consciences. By the way. although the state has not suggested it. did you ever realize that a $6 or $9 set of license plates might make an ideal Christmas gift for the motorist? But, whatever you do, buy them early. In the branch distributing places you will aid in poor relief. What could be more worthy? CROWDS AND PLEASURE MUSICAL and dre ..tic even** in Indianapolis in the t, few weeks ha... shown a definite tendency .o draw ome of the greatest audiences in recent years. Walter D. Hickman, dramatic editor of Tnc Indianapolis Times, reports that the audiences are far superior to s he mpjority that have lou .and their way to these classical presentations since the depression first struck the city and nation. It is enlightening to know that Indianapolis again has become entertainment-conscious and that offerings of ihe stage and musical worlds are being received with more than a passing shrug. THE HUMOR OF LIFE IN Archie Binn's novel, “Lightship," there is a character who spends his spare time collecting newspaper clippings to prove that the human race Is, after all, pretty courageous and upright. It wo’iiu be infinitely less edifying, but much easier and funnier, to collect clippings showing that life is full of a rather grim and Illogical humor, with human contradictions

I and perversities enough to make one wonder if the world be not mildly insane at times. A rather casusl glance at recent newspapers. for instance, shows a Jumble of items like the following: Huey Long denies that he tried to censor a student paper at Louisiana State University, and four more students are expelled for saying he did. A Seattle man confesses to a murder he committed 21 years ago, on the ground that he would like to become an American citizen and wants to get the crime off his conscience. Yugoslavia announces that it expects to get Jiutice from Hungary through the League of Nations, and expels 27,000 Hungarians Just to make sure. Lily Pons returns to New York to find that her pet Jaguar has completely forgotten her Brooklyn digs up a 7-year-old boy who is smarter than Einstein and the Federal Government starts bombing ducks in Skagit County, Washington, to protect the cabbage crop. A Jobless New York theater usher admits setting 10 fires in the last two months Just for the fun of watching the fire trucks go by, and a strapping Amazonian lady furnishes Boston with food for conversation by roaming darkened streets, seizing lone men, kissing them and running away. The Soviet government puts on a nationwide campaign to get factory workers to wash their hami* and clean their fingernails; meanwhile, Uncle Sam hires 50 relief workers in Washington to keep the starlings awake, the idea being that the birds will eventually £row tired of it all and fly away. A resident of Evansville. Ind., Is assessed an amusement tax of $1 and costs, the grounds being that he got drunk and amused himself by coating his wife with tar and tossing lighted matches at her. The Poly County 'Possum Club of Arkansas turns down a motion to'lnvite Huey Long to Its annual dinner, on the ground that the noble ’possum might be contaminated. A chimpanzee in the St. Louis zoo gets punch drunk from boxing with a fellow chimpanzee and has to be given a vacation. One could go on and on like this, for columns. Does it all prove anything? Nothing at all—except that life Is packed with an infinite variety, and that it takes all sorts to make a world. PLANNED ABUNDANCE SECRETARY WALLACE'S annual report points,for a course for American agriculture into a future of "planned abundance.” Killing little nigs and plowing under cotton, though necessary in the recent past to wipe out price-depressing surpluses, do not fit into the future he describes. He has no rigid program, but a plan for a steady expanding production of “different commodities in the proper amounts and proportions.” Mr. Wallace wants American farmers to produce anything and everything that they can market profitably. The domestic market can be enlarged only to the extent that national purchasing power Is increased. It is not likely that in the near future American consumption can be raised to the level of American farming capacity. Hence one need for productive restraints to keep agriculture from impoverishing itself. These restraints may be made less severe or even unnecessary, providing we regain our lost foreign markets. Foreign customers would like to buy farm products from us again, but they can not do so unless we accept their industrial goods in exchange. Pending national industrial recovery to rebuild the farmer's domestic market and sending negotiation of tariff treaties to rebuild the farmer’s foreign markets, Mr. Wallace believes it is wise for American agriculture to keep its own house in order. Production control agreements provide a democratic method for doing this, and benefit payments make it profitable for individual farmers to co-operate. Last summer's terrible drought, Mr. Wallace believes, emphasized an additional planning need. He suggests that we establish an "ever-noimal granary.” This he would do by keeping off the market in good years a sizeable surplus to insure plenty in lean years. The secretary’s latest suggestion should help to quiet the critics who accuse him of planning scarcity. DANGER IN A FEW DRINKS DR. WILLIAM J. MAYO, of the famous Rochester clinic, believes that the motorist who goes out on the highway with just two or three cocktails under his belt is a greater menace to public safety than the one who goes out blind drunk. * A couple of cocktails, he says, will slow up the normal man's reactions so that it takes him two to four times as long to react in an emergency as a man without any alcohol in his stomach. A cold-sober driver, proceeding at 40 miles an hour, will travel about 25 feet before he can take action to meet a sudden danger; th’ man ballasted with a pair of cocktails will require 50 or 100 feet. “The drunken driver,” says Dr. Mayo, “will crash into a pole before long and thereby take himself off the road, but the driver with only a couple of cocktails will keep on going. His slowed-up reactions to danger and emergencies constitute the real menace.” RELIEF FOR FARMERS IN preparing its reuef program 'or 1935 the Federal Government is not the farmer. Relief Administrator Hopkins reveals that a rural rehabilitation plan tested during the iast year has already given aid to some 200.000 farmers, and says taut it may be ex- ♦ ended ne: year so as to take at leist 1,000,000 famiiie.; off the relief rolls. About half of these, he suggests, vill be families a:ready established in rural sections, and the remainder would be families with agricultural backgrounds who had migrated to the cities. The latte r , he says, can be moved back to the country, established on small plots of ground and. loaded enough money to get a decent start in ft .ax activities The plan operates through ioans, he adds, and to date a surprising percentage has t n repaid in fulL We usually think of relief as an urban problem. The problem can be equally pressing in the country; it is well that the Government has mapped out a detailed program to meet it there. Senate inquiries needn't worry the munitions manufacturers, so long as Norman Davis in Europe promises we'll keep on building jt battleships as fast as Japan does.

!| * Capital Capers BY GEORGE ABELL : THE George Washington, crack train from the West, puffed into Union Station a in the morning. Station Master Marks. • in a bright blue frock coat with brass L. bustled efficiently about. “He’ll be on this car, ’ he announced to a small delegation, waiting on the station platform .u, the train stopped, photographers focussed .he - cameras. A plump, stocky individual, wear-‘y-j z gray-white sombrero, pin-stripe suit and herring-bone ovcicoat, alighted. The gray-white sombrero was waved aloft. Bushy white eye-brows jutted out above pink cheeks wrinkled into a smile. “Hello, Mr. Vice-President,” chorused everybody. Station Master Marks saluted, as Vice-Presi-dent Jark Gamer, fresh from Uvalde, Tex., began shaking hands with various people. Behind him came Mrs. Garner, black fox furs around her neck, carrying a box of pralines. Spectacled Tulley Garner, wearing a sombrero like his father, hastened forward for a paternal and maternal embrace. Pretty Miss Josephine Sterling, assistant clerk to the VicePresident, followed, us well as veteran Colonel Edwin Halsey, secretary of tne Senate, and Jim Preston, Senate librarian. It was a gala, if impromptu, reception ana AFTER a hearty, but quick breakfast, VicePresident Garner hurried to his office. Before 9:30 he was at his desk, reading a newspaper. Photographers induced him to pose for them, opening a large stack of mail. “Are you going down to meet President Roosevelt?” one man asked. “What is this? An interview? Or did you come here to take my picture?” queried Garner, eye-brows bristling. Then, his mood softened. “I might go down.” he admitted, quietly. Ten minutes before President Roosevelt’s train pulled in at 11:50 o’clock, the Garner limousine snaked its way into the Union Station patio. Mrs. Roosevelt, in a sealskin coat, already was there. So were Secretary of State Hull, Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau, and Secretary of Agriculture Wallace. When the President appeared on the platform of his car, he saw Garner’s hand waving to him above the assembled heads. Station Master Marks was in ecstacies. Two celebrities—a President and a Vice-President—-arriving on the same morning! Probably the only thing to compare with it in recent years was the arrival of King Prajadhipok of Siam and his young Queen, in 1932. b a a THE British Embassy is decidedly picking up ■these days from an entertainment point of view, and His Brittanic Majesty’s Ambassador is blossomng forth as a host in the grand manner. ; First, there was a series of parties for the economic experts and advisers of the New Deal. Now r , Ambassador Sir Ronald Lindsay is going in for literature. Feted at a dinner was Lritish author John Buchan, witty and amusing, and Mrs. Buchan. Handsome Mrs. Tracy Dows, who has written a charming lfttle book of poems called “Illusions,” was another guest. Veteran writer Frank Simonds was still another. To round out the list W'as Secretary of Commerce Roper, who (while one of the Cabinet members who has not recently w’ritten a book) is now busily w'riting his annual report. After the literary diners, predictions are heard that Sir Ronald w'ill begin entertaining. After the literary dinners, then what?

Health Insurance

(Copyright. 1934, by United Press) W-ASHINGTON, Dec. 12.—A health insurance plan enabling the American public to pay its doctor and hospital bills in advance, was studied today by the New Deal committee on Economic Security. The program, a part of the Administration’s aim of achieving economic and social betterment for the masses, will be presented soon to President Roosevelt. The proposal may come before Congress along with employment insurance and old age pensions. The health insurance plan, embracing workmen’s compensation, accident, invalidity and health insurance, would ease the $1,500,000,000 medical bill this, country pays every year and make up, in part at least, the $900,000,000 in industrial earning? lost through illness. The program, in addition to insuring the public of increased physical well-being, would hold out economic aid to business and guarantee new security to the medical and nursing professions through a reduction in charity cases. B B ts A SUB-COMMITTEE of prominent physicians and surgeons and officials of the United States Public Health Service is working out specific provisions of the plan. Members include Dr. Walter L. Bierring, president of the American Medical Association, and Dr. Robert B. Greenough, president of the American College of Surgeons, t The group is studying a plan for advance payment of medical and hospital bills based on co-operation of the Federal Government, the public and the medical urofession. Costs, as yet unestimated, would be borne largely by the public. Participants in the plan, according to present indications, w'ould be required to make small monthly payments, storing up credit against the time when they need care. There might be two programs, one for medical treatment and one for hospitalization. Free choice of the physician and hospital by every patient should be assured, the American College of Surgeons has recommended with medical organizations guaranteeing the quality of service. Chief supporter of the program is Frances Perkins, Secretary of Labor, who is chairman of the President’s Committee on Economic Security. Other committee members include Henry Morgenthau Jr., Secretary of the Treasury; Atty. Gen. Homer S. Cummings; Henry A. Wallace, Secretary of Agriculture, and Harry L. Hopkins, Federal Emergency Relief Administrator.'

From the Balkans

BY JULIUS GOEMBOES Premier of Hungary. (World copyright 1934. by the United Press, reproduction In whole or part prohibited) BUDAPEST, Hunary, Dec. 12.—1n the past week, the Yugoslavian authorities have evicted almost 3,000 individuals across the frontier. Among the expelle.. vere women, children and invalids who were not permitted time even to take the most necessary of their possessions along with them. Only a small percentage of these expelled are really of Hungarian nationality. The majority settled in Yugoslavia years ago. The- question of their nationality which is regulated under the peace treaties, has been kept unsolved for years 'cv the Yugoslavian authorities. Among those expelled were persons who served in the Yugoslavian army and who may, therefore, be considered Yugoslavian citizens. The Hungarian government has not resorted to any reprisals whatever against these expulsions, but submits the judgment of this cruel destruction of thousands of existences to world public opinion. All sections of Hungarian society are contributing subscriptions, opened to allay suffering of these unfortunate men and women at the beginning us winter. So far as Geneva is concerned, I am confident the League of Nations will fulfill its mission—which is to settle international conflicts by peaceful means—and will exonerate Hungary in the eyes of the world from charges brought against her by certain sides. Hungary wants peace and justice, and believes that the League of Nations will find the means to assure both.

TAmit them to 250 words or less.) tt tt tt MOTORISTS SHOULD HAVE INCREASED PRIVILEGES Bv C. O. O’Neal. Some days ago, I read in your columns an article by some haytamer from Wisconsin who took it upon himself to solve the traffic system here by using a method which he says w’orked out fine in some tank town, probably Beloit. Why is it that these farmers all want to tell the city boys how to run the metropolis? This well meaning gent in all probability has no car and is just like the people without children who know all about how to rear children. The streets are built primarily for the people, so let the people use them. Why should a city ordinance stop any one from parking his car where he wants to and when? The automobile has become a necessity in business and social life and everybody should have one of some description. What other pleasure can a poor man get so much out of as an automobile? Make it possible for him to stop anywhere, any time, and business will show an increase. tt tt a ADDITIONAL PRIVILEGES FOR RAILROADS FAVORED By Edward Kirch. As I am a reader of The Times and especially the Message Center, I would like to compliment Will H. Craig for his article on Dec. 5, wherein he criticises The Times for the article about the railroads. Well, Mr. Craig, our highly educated editorial writers have been so busy thinking up this new “Rob Peter to pay Paul” system, that they have not had time to learn that Santa Claus is a myth. I, for one, am in favor of giving the railroads permission to abandon their tracks, place rubber tires on their locomotives and cars, use our highways and streets and permit them to park same as near street intersections as possible, causing traffic hazards the same as the trucking companies are permitted to do, and permit them to employ inexperienced men for just as low a wage as possible. Then perhaps the general public will wake up. The railroads are facing the same problem as we city taxpayers, who are refused a. job while thousands from outlying towns are employed here who pay no taxes here. Why do so many citizens insist on patronizing some out-of-town milk company when so many employes and their children depend on their bread and butter by being employed by our local milk dealers who would gladly pay more wages if it were not for these price slashing outsiders who pay no taxes here and a very low wage. Why must we stand for some so- j called engineering company from Chicago coming here and taking our construction jobs away from us when there are so many firms here capable of supervising these jobs? sSome time ago the South Meridian Civic Club, now the South Side Civic Club, drew up a resolution requesting our employers to cease employing help from outlying towns. This jesolution was sent to all local newspapers and the Chamber of Commerce. The newspapers not only failed to print this resolution but stated that we demanded that these employes be discharged, which is not true. We requested that these out of town employes either take up their residence here or give up their employment, which we think only fair. Perhaps our newspaper men who in the majority of cases have wives

THEY’RE HOPING

Children Aid Is Lauded

By C. L. R. Last week I read an editorial in your paper in which you frankly patted yourself on the back for aiding the children of this city. Just as frankly let me add my pat and say that it is your duty as a newspaper operator to call attention of the public to these achievements. Perhaps to you gentlemen who daily present the facts of life and the w'orld to thousands of readers, the 6mall incidents of aiding the children and persons of this community strikes you as merely a daily task and not in the light in which we see these activities. To the outsider there w'as nothing more interesting than the reaction of numerous children to your presentation of the Santa Claus parade recently. It is a shame that you were not able to leave your desk long enough, to wander through the crow'ds that lined the streets to hear the comment of the “coming generation.” Never have I seen more children delighted so thoroughly. Os course, the appearance of the second Santa Claus brought a great many youthful queries which were a bit hard to answ'er, but most of the mothers and big sisters near me were commenting either on Santa’s helper or Mrs. Santa Claus. Os course, it goes without say-

working (who threaten to throw bricks when there is something said against being employed but who are doing far more harm by taking some single girl’s job than if they threw bricks for a month) have not had the experience of seeing their sons and daughters coming home in despair after looking in vain for a job all day. Is it any wonder that we have thousands applying for old age pension when we have this “Rob Peter to Pay Paul” system. I think it would be far better if we would send our children back to the little red brick school house where we were taught common horse sense and the three R’s and quit believing in Santa Claus before we left school. I have made a bet- with a party that you will not print this the way il is, so if you will not print it in your Message Center, I will have some consolation because I won my bet. Never bet, Mr. Kirch. B B B WORD “LEGAL” NEEDED IN TIMES EDITORIAL By a Subscriber. When I read your editorial page Dec. 10, I was truly proud of you. That page, resplendent with truth, proves th it you can be worthy of all I have gi/en you credit for being. I am delighted with the vigor with which Mr. PoweL’s short, crisp sentences strike; and I am pleased with the spirit of sweet reasonableness and stability of our more gentle brother editor who writes in his poetical way. On that page, only one error is outstandingly noticeable. In the editorial: Military Training Remains, the word, legal should have preceeded the word, right, in the sentence: “Their right to impose it if they choose is now unquestioned.” Do you editors ever notice any mistakes in my writing? Os course, a critic should be perfect. With you I shall strive for perfection. asm PEOPLE OF TODAY “NEVER RUN ANYTHING DOWN” By Ray D* Witt.

ing that your Clothe-A-Child drive is one of the outstanding holiday exploits of the Nation. There are times when candy and toys serve their purpose, but I doubt if a chivering child, perhaps on the verge of influenza or pneumonia, has much interest in playthings that are given him. To give those children an opportunity to brave the rigors of winter is to present them with a public service which can not be equaled. And you’d be surprised—or perhaps you wouldn’t—to learn how many persons get a tremendous “kick” out of the opportunity of fulfilling your pledge- to bring health and happiness to those scores of needy children. By the way, most of my neighbors are desirous of knowing when the Mile of Dimes will be started this year and where the “mile” will be located. Can you tell us? The Mile of Dimes, we believe, presents almost every person with the chance of doing some good. Keep up the good work. The information you seek on the Mile of Dimes will he found elsewhere in this new’spaper today. The Indianapolis Times thanks you for your letter and pledges that it will continue its policy of helping those who need aid.

about a few bright children who have a feeling of responsibility. We would do well to think more seriously of the millions of American adults who are suffering from the pangs of childish ignorance. And as to our sense of “the wonderful,” remember that intelligence and knowledge does not lessen our appreciation of the sublime. The more a child grows in intelligence, knowledge and insight, the more wonderful becomes the universe to him. The more we learn and the farther we investigate, the more complicated and complex it all becomes. We never run anything down. B B B TIMES THANKED FOR SHOW FOR ORPHANS By C. O. H. The children of the Colored Orphans’ Home wish to thank The Indianapolis Times for making it possible for them to see the show' at the Palace theater recently. We enjoyed it so much. We again thank you for remembering us. B B B MAN AND WIFE ARE ON STATE PAY ROLL, CHARGE By Fair Play. In these times of scarcity of jobs when large families are compelled to get along on a few dollars a week and other families are in dire distress because of the lack of even a few dollars each week—it hardly seems possible that a man and his wife—one a Democrat, other a Republican—with no children or other dependents of -ny kind should be permitted to draw from the pub-

MY LOVE

BY HARRIET SCOTT OLINICK My love has eyes that shine with fire; A blue flame on a windy day. That blazes upward suddenly In wild, capricious, wilful play. And he has lips that sing of love, And arms that feel of strength and rest. And he has hands that soothe my. hair, And words that speak of tenderness. Oh. he has lips that kiss my lips. And arms that shield me from the storm, But I have found it is his eyes;— Their leaping fame that keeps me warm.
