LUDLOW CITED WAR DANGER IN RADIO APPEAL Hoosier Urges Adoption of His Measure Requiring Referendum. B's Time• Fprrinl WASHINGTON, March 13— An impassioned radio appeal for public support for his measure to restrict the right of declaring war to the voters and for conscription of private property in time of war was made here last night by Rep. Louis Ludlow <D, Ind >. *T am convinced from my familiarity with the testimony of the Nye committee and my study of this question that a mere dozen of international financiers and munitions kings, with a complacent President, could maneuver this country into war at any time, so great are their resources and so far reaching is their power.” Rep. Ludlow stated. Rep. Ludlow explained that his proposed constitutional amendment was designed to “give the people who have to pay the awful costs of war the right to decide whether there shall be war and to remove the profit incentive to war.” Nye Committee Findings "The resolution reserves to all of the people for all time to come, except m the case of attack or invasion, when immediate action would be necessary, the right to a referendum on war. so that when war is declared It will be the solemn consecrated act of the people themselves, and not the act of con- j scienceless, selfish interests using the innocent young manhood of the nation as its cat's-paw,” the Hoosier Congressman said. He further stated: * The Nye committee has brought out unmistakably that, unless we WTite into the Constitution a provision reserving to the people themselves the right to declare war and taking the profits out of war, we shall wake up to find ourselves again plunged into the hell of war with all the refinements of cruelty, the moral degradation, the heartbreaking suffering, the indescribable misery which that hateful term con-

notes.” Rep. Ludlow proposed that when the Nye committee report is filed in the archives there should be written above it: •This is the most shameful record ever written into legislative annals.” Favors Amendment Ban The anti-war measure should be made in the form of a constitutional amendment ratt°r than a statute because a contrary-minded Congress could repeal the effects of a statute. Rep. Ludlow claimed. Citing what he charged was an imminent danger of war. Rep. Ludlow said that now. while America was at peace, was the time to enact the amendment in order to protect future generations. ‘The lightning is flashing. The war clouds are lowering. Next year or the year after may be too late. When the atmosphere becomes surcharged with war electricity, individuals and interests that have devilish schemes to hatch proceed to hatch them.” Time for Recollection The author of the bill said that the measure would give the public time to coo! down from the first heightened flush of war enthusiasm In defense of the part of the bill calling for conscription of property. Rep. Ludlow pointed out that whiie soldiers in the trenches were paid $125 a day, the president of one munitions concern was drawing SSOOO a day. Commenting on testimony given at the Nye investigation that an American chemical concern demonstrated the effectiveness of tear gas on 120 convicts locked in a room in a Chile prison. Rep. Ludlow said. -I wonder how long it will be before these enterprising munitions manufacturers begin to demonstrate on home talent. In this audience there probably are some whose loved ones are now in penitentiaries. Would you not be righteously indignant if some munitions salesman would lock your loved ones in a room and squirt war gases in their faces?” Strikes as Testing Ground Rep. Ludlow charged that munitions salesmen used strikes as a testing ground for their weapons and gases. •The hearings show that they are doing a lot of demonstrating on labor groups.” he said. In the case of strikes, agents of munitions companies proceed hotfoot to the zones of disturbance to sell their gas to the authorities for use on the strikers. The scene of strife never moves so fast that these and salesmen are not able to keep up with it.

Caution Is First Lesson at Shooting School; Women to Compete for Prizes

Indianapolis women will enter competition for these trophies, donated by various sporting firms and sportsmen. Saturday, at a meeting of the special women’s class in The Indianapolis Times-Em-Roe Shooting School, at the Indianapolis Gun Club, 1346 S. Lyndhurst-dr. The school, organized to teach men and women hunters the safe handling of guns and expert shooting, is conducted under the supervision, of Charles E. Adams, shotgun expert. Classes have been held at 1:30 daily since the first of March, with the exception of Saturdays and Sundays, and will continue until the last of the month.

BY CHARLES E. ADAMS Times Shotgun Instructor The most important lesson I want to teach the public in this first column is that there is no such thing as a safe gun. A gun is as safe as the person handling it. If the shooter is trained and has any common

Crowded School Uses Cafeteria as Classroom a a a " a a a Shortridge Debaters Orate in Setting of Pots and Pans Due to Lack of Adequate Space.

BY EDWIN OGBORNE Times Staff Writer “T MAINTAIN . . 1 The youthful orator paused dramatically, bringing his fist forcibly down on the table. He recoiled, embarrassed, however. He had plunged his fist straight through the middle of a gooseberry pie! That hasn't happened yet, perhaps, but it easily might if Shortridge High School debating classes are forced to continue meeting in the teachers' cafeteria. This and many other topsy-turvy examples of classes being held in rooms entirely unsuited for such purposes forms the principal prob-

lem confronting school officials now studying overcrowded conditions at Shortridge. according to George Buck, principal. Admitting the housing situation at the North Side school may not be as acute as that in one or two other city high schools, Mr. Buck, nevertheless, is emphatic in his statements that more classrooms are needed. He points out that Shortridge opened in 1928 with adequate facilities for 2000, while the present enrollment is 3447. Study halls are overflowing and classes generally are much larger than state regulations permit. In one or two cases, classes of nearly 50 pupils are necessary. a a a THE teachers’ cafeteria, in addition to being used for debating. is also utilized for bookkeeping and for marketing classes. Housing students in roll rooms, or home rooms, is one of the greatest difficulties at Shortridge. The chorus room, constructed as an auditorium with seats not at all adaptable for writing, has been pressed into service as a roll room. The school library and stude its’ cafeteria are also used as roll rooms. A storage room in the basement is now a projection room for visual education and health education and home nursing classes also meet there. Girls’ choruses convene in the Reserve Officers Training Corps department and mechanical drawing groups assemble at the jewelry laboratory in other oddly contrived makeshifts Shortridge officials have been compelled to arrange. mam THE R O. T. C. unit at Shortridge is handicaped severely by the fact that almost all its instruction is necessarily only theoretical. No parade ground is available and all drills and maneuver must be on the thoroughfare adjacent to the school. Besides being inconvenient to students. this procedure has been frowned upon by city officials as a traffic hazard. Fear has been expressed that, unless suitable provisions can be made for practical R. O. T. C. training, the unit may be withdrawn. Limits placed on a number of classes, particularly in typing, cooking and machine operation, have prevented many students from taking such courses. No additional class rooms are avail-

able that can be properly equipped for such work. This, then, is the present situation at Shortridge. nan MR. BUCK is hopeful that the new 14-room addition to Broad Ripple High School will somewhat ease crowded conditions through an enrollment shift, but he is extremely doubtful if this shift will make more than only a temporary difference. • Somehow, it seems the more high schools you build, the more students there are to fill them,” Mr. Book says in summarizing the amazing growth in local schools in recent years. “But,” he added, “more room will have to be provided in some way, of course.” Whether they will be provided, and if so. with what they are to be provided with depends largely on the report of the school board housing committee to be made soon.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Sporting Goods Cos., at the Indian- j apolis Gun Clnb, 1340 S. Lyndhurst- ; dr, is designed to teach caution and accuracy in shooting. Few shooters know that to attain real accuracy the gun must be fitted to .he shooter. Perhaps the most! important part of a gun is the stock. A trim, well-balanced stock that has the ‘right feel” is the work of a master. A stock can have too much drop as well as not enough, making the gun straight or crooked. Straight guns are used for one type of shooting while the guns with more drop are used by shooters with a different physique. The shape of the grip is important, controlling to a large extent the action of mounting the gun. It is almost impossible to raise the gun to the right spot with a poorly shaped grip. Certain dimensions of the shooter’s arms, neck and shoulders determine the length of the stock. Often clumsy guns are the cause of accidents. In my lessons to pupils at The Times-Em-Roe school, I advise the shooter as to necessary changes in his gun. All of the pupils are tested by the Winchester Reflex Timer, a modern scientific device, to test the trigger reaction. It is essential that the shooter pull the trigger at the exact moment that the target wings before him.
