LAXITY CHARGED IN OPERATION OF SCHOOL BUSSES

Many Operators Are Ignoring Safety Laws, Traffic Expert Says. Many Indiana school bus operators are failing to comply with law requirements for safety equipment and operation of their busses, D. F. Mitzner, Indiana Motor Traffic Association secretary, said today. Mr. Mitzner based his statement on a survey being made by association invest..rators. in an attempt to provide more adequate protection for 196.870 school children who travel to and from school by bus daily. In certain sections of Indiana the survey shows that few school busses have the required lighting equipment, which includes a blue light, one front and one rear, visible for at least 150 feet, and red reflectors on the rear of the bus. The association's investigations have revealed the failure of entire townships to co-operate with the school safety program, Mr. Mitzner said. Statistics collected in the office of Floyd I McMurray. state public instruction superintendent, show' that 143,620 miles are covered daily by school busses transporting pupils to regular sessions of school. Howard C. Smith, association safety director, who has made these figures public, says they do not include a considerable mileage in extra-school transportation of children, as to athletic and other contests and school events. Leprosy is disappearing among white people, but not among other races, there being, so- example, at least 200,000 cases among Chinese and Japar ese in the Philippines today.

The Theatrical World Tarkington Creation in Film World’s Spotlight BY WALTER D. HICKMAN

THE country today is receiving real entertainment in the experiences of “Little Orvie," Booth Tarkington’s new novel, and at the same time enjoying the charm and the fragrance of the Old South as depicted in "Mississippi,” the screen’s latest presentation. Mr. Tarkington is responsible fo* both of these fine accomplishments. Just as "Little Orvie” has been a best seller in fiction for weeks, "Mississippi” rapidly is becoming a national best seller in movie theaters all over the United States. “Mississippi” is based upon Mr. Tarkington's stage play, “Magnolia,” which had the services in New

Loretta. Browne

York some years ago of Elizabeth Patterson, formerly of the Stuart Walker company here. Miss Patterson is not, however, in the latest adaptation of “Magnolia” to the talking screen. The movie was adapted by Herbert Fields and Claude Binyon from the Tarkington play with special music by Richard Rodgers. The special music is necessary because Bing Crosby is cast as Tom Grayson, a quiet Northerner from Boston who goes to Magnolia Plantation on the Mississippi to w r ed Elvira, the daughter of Gen. Rumford. The General hires the showboat troupe of Commodore Jackson (W. C. Fields) to entertain the wedding guests. Gen. Rumford is of the old school and his prim daughter, Elvira (Gail Patrick) agrees with her father that men should duel and even meet death on the field of honor. Tom sees no reason why he should fight a duel with a discarded suitor of Elvira and especially so when he has never seen the man before. Tom is forced to leave the plantation in disgrace with everybody but the General’s youngest daughter, Lucy, played by Joan Bennett. Some years later, Tom finds refuge on Commodore Jackson’s showboat where he is an entertainer. The Commodore builds up a fictitious bad past for Tom and turns him into an alleged killer. Tom acts the part well, but both Crosby and Fields, before the Tarkington story is over, get themselves into a lot of trouble and when Fields is present it is, of course, comedy trouble. “Mississippi” opened its engagement on the screen of the Indiana today.

JAPAN EAGERLY AWAITING VISIT OF U. S. FLEET

Nipponese Naval Officials, Shopkeepers Welcome War Games. Bv United Press TOKIO, April s.—Japanese naval circles today appeared content to leave to American pacifists any alarms over the holding of American naval maneuvers in the Pacific. Naval officers and Yokohama shopkeepers alike will welcome the visit of the flagship of the U. S. Asiatic fleet to Japan May 3. With Rear Admiral Frank B. Upham, commander of the Asiatic fleet aboard, the flagship Augusta will put in at Yokohama the day the American fleet begins its spring maneuvers in the Pacific triangle touching Alaska, the Hawaiian Islands and California. Admiral Upham has meny friends among the high officials of the Japanese navy and they will be “glad to see and welcome him,” they indicated. The shopkeepers, recalling the free spending of American sailors ashore, are preparing for the visit with great optimism. The attitude in naval circles is that it is the duty of the American navy to carry out whatever programs are necessary for efficient national defense, just as other navies must do in their training.

April s.—Unless unexpected rain falls in eastern Coloradio and western Kansas today, another dust storm is very likely to take the air. Yesterday’s weather maps showed a wind-pro-voking low-pressure area over the Denver region, which as it moves eastward will strike the driest spot in the United States. Dust will be the natural consequence. The northern plains, however, are under a comfortable blanket of late snow, which stretches across most of Montana and Wyoming and practically all of the Dakotas. There should be no dust there.

RAILROADS ASX FREE HAND TO SAVEJUSINESS Abolition of Co-Ordinator Is Urged on Roosevelt by Executives. By United Press NEW YORK. April s.—Railroad leadership today had called upon President Roosevelt to abolish his coordinator of transportation and allow the nation's railways to work out their own salvation. Speaking for the Association of American Railways, of which he is president, John J. Pelley outlined a three-point program before the New York Chamber of Commerce, which he said would allow the railroads to “give a good account of themselves." He urged these steps: 1. Withdrawal of subsidies from other forms of transportion trnd regulation of them on a basis comparable with that of the railroads. 2. Prevention of any legislation increasing the cost of railroad operation. 3. Discontinuance of the transportation co-ordinator and authorization to the Association of American Railways to see what can be done for the carriers within the industry itself. "Mr. Pelley went into the old charges that the government is subsidizing water transportation and that it is in the barge business itself

upon the Mississippi. He said that the government also subsidized highway transportation by more than $500,000,000 a year. “In addition to being heavily subsidized." he continued, ’’waterway and highway operators have the advantage of not being restricted by regulations as are the railroads. It must be obvious that transportation strictly regulated can not compete on equal terms with transportation free of regulation.” He said the bill creating the coordinator of transportation, as amended by Congress, really defeated its purpose. He said that although studies made by Co-Ordinato* Joseph B. Eastman have been helpful, the carriers feel that because of the labor provisions they are worse off than when the rail law was enacted. “Unless re-enacted, the co-ordina-tor law expires by limitation on June 16, 1935,” he added. “The railroads are opposed to its continuance. . . . The law is a real hindrance to progress n co-ordina-tion and consolidation, and. besides, the rail carriers hi ve a fundamental objection to a Federal officer who B today and tomorrow ■ I .lamps Cftitnev “ST.
