SPEEDWAY CITY CITIZENS FIGHT HOMEPROJECT Development Illegal, 100 Are Told at Protest Meeting. Residents of Speedway City were determined today to carry on a legal fight to prevent the establishment of the proposed Federal subsistence homestead project for Negroes near their community. More than 100 residents of the community held a protest meeting last night in the Speedway school and pledged themselves to fight the project to the last ditch. J. Stephen Pullen told the meeting that any attempt to condemn private property for a project such as this would be held unconstitutional. “Depressions have come and gone and we never had to change the form of our government before,” Edward Hohlt, Wayne Township attorney, said. “Since this project does not come under the NIRA statement of policy, and since it is admittedly for employed persons who have not been on the relief lists, it can not fulfill the purpose of the subsistence act,” he said. Most of the people at the meeting felt that this project would decrease property values in Wayne Township from 25 to 50 per cent. “This resulting drop in property values and taxes will ruin our schools," Herbert H. McClelland, Wayne Township trustee, said. He pointed out that the schools were overcrowded and couldn’t stand the influx of new pupils. “Even if the Federal government built a special grade school in the project, the township would still be burdened with maintenance,” he said. “In addition we would have to make some provision for the high school students in this new project.” IS SET AS TRACK ELEVATION COST City Engineer Submits Report on Proposal to Kern. Estimated cost of track elevation projects in Indianapolis is $15,677,910, according to figures submitted to Mayor John W. Kern by City Engineer Henry Steeg yesterday in preparation for efforts to obtain a Federal grant and loan. The elevation projects are divided into three divisions and seven sections, and involve elevating tracks belonging to the Belt. Pennsylvania, Baltimore & Ohio and Cleveland, Chicago, Cincinnati & St. Louis Railroads. The total cost includes labor expenses estimated at 25 per cent higher than FERA wages, Mr. Steeg said.

All Together Now! A Big Hand for the Cameraman Who Takes Those Great Dionne Quintuplet Pictures

81, E. M. GUNDY Written lor XEA Srrrlc* TORONTO. Ontario, April 6 Fred Davis, who takes all the photographs of the Dionne quintuplets, worked "on the job” for two months without taking a single picture of the famous five. It was not until the official guardians of the quins were appointed that Mr. Davis had his first real chance. Mr. Davis was on the job at the farm near Callander, Ontario, from the second day of the babies’ lives. The third day, Nurse Clouthier admitted him and a few pictures were taken, while the babies were being bathed, the first ever taken of quintuplets, and the last Mr. Davis was to take for many a day. The day previous, Oliva Dionne, their father, had signed away photographic rights to Tours Bureau, of Chicago, and nothing would induce him to allow photographers on the premises. But Mr. Davis refused to be licked. When the guardians were appointed on July 28, 1934, Davis was on the job with a contract writer from his paper. A contract was signed the same day for exclusive rights, and Mr. Davis had won the first round. On Saturday, July 29. as* the quins started their third month. Mr. Davis took his first real set of 25 newspaper photographs of the five babies, mother and father, nurses and doctor. • an f T'HESE pictures are admittedly ■*- among the finest ever secured by a newspaper photographer. They were taken in a tiny room in the Dionne farmhouse, already overcrowded with the quii.s and their nurses. Flashlight bulbs were carefully wrapped with gauze to protect baby eyes. Newspapers all over North America and Great Britain hailed these photographs as the "Picture Scoop of the Year.” With fertile imagination for seeking out new poses and novel presentation, and with an inborn faculty for getting along with people—nurses, doctors, mother and father, grandfather, and all others concerned with the quintuplets— Mr. Davis began his long series of picture "scoops” which has brought from press and laymen alike tribute after tribute, and which has in so large a degree been responsible for the increasing interest in the quins. To refuse to be licked is no new thin* for Mr. Davis. He refused to be licked 17 years ago in front of Amiens, France, when in that great battle his thigh was pierced with a tracer bullet. His main artery bulging from his side, he commandeered two wandering German soldiers and forced them at revolver point to carry him back to the stretcher lines. Given up as hopeless, he hung on through the awful ambulance ride to the base, through days of unconsciousness, and finally to “Blighty” and home.

A “hard-boiled” cameraman is Fred Davis . . . but a willing slave to the quintuplets, his pride and joy . . . . gazing fondly on little Marie as she clutches his camera.

TB/|R DAVIS is 37, eurly-haired, an d hard-boiled. That is, he would like to be considered tough. Actually, like so many hard-shells, his heart beats very warmly indeed. He talks about his “quins” with the shining eyes of a proud father, and no one is more zealous of their interest. Fred started his newspaper photographic career after the war, when he decided to further his interest in photography by a six months' soldiers’ civil re-estab-lishment course in newspaper photography with Russell Orr, then chief, in fact, sole photographer of the old Toronto World. After three weeks of instruction, Mr. Orr left the paper for greener pastures, and Fred was told by the managing editor to “get out and get pictures.” He did and he’s been doing so ever since, subsequently with the Toronto Mail and Empire, and then with the Toronto Star. Mr. Davis accompanied the Prince of Wales on his tour of Canada in 1923, and was one of

For 15 years, wherever big news has broken in Canada, Fred Davis has always been found with his übiquitous camera, pulling off scoop after scoop. n u tt IF he hadn’t been a cameraman he was born to be a racing driver, as many a poor suffering cub, shivering at speeds ranging from 60 up, has discovered as Fred Davis opened the throttle on a news break. In all he has traveled more than 500,000 miles behind the wheel—practically all in getting after news, and getting there first. Mr. Davis accompanied Dr A. R. Dafoe, the famous physic’ ’ to the quins, on his New Yow. crip, at the doctor’s special request. “Although modem science takes the credit for saving the babies’ lives, Mr. Davis wonders if the ultra-violet rays from his 1500 exploded flashlight bulbs haven’t something to do with it,” Dr. Da-

S9OO PAY ROLL SEIZED HERE BY ARMED BANDITS

Other Holdups Linked to Thugs Who Robbed City Veneer Plant. Police today continued to search for two men who laU. yesterday, masked with handkerchiefs and carrying revolvers, robbed the Hoosier Veneer Cos., 3321 Massachu-setts-av, of S9OO in pay roll funds and then escaped with three waiting companions in an auto. License plates on the auto they used had been stolen. It is the police theory that the same gang is responsible for several other major holdups in the city recently. When the bandits entered the Hoosier Company's offices, Mrs. Leah M. Barker, 3126 N. Shermandr. a stenographer, attempted to escape through a window, but was caught by one of them and forced into another office, where, with two others, she was forced to lie on the floor. Others threatened were Miss Mary Crowe, 430 Massachusetts-av, stenographer, and W. H. Day, 60, of 538 Eugene-st, bookkeeper. The bandits then took the money, in bags in the cashier's cage, and walked through the office to the waiting car and were driven away. raphers, Mr. Davis is also a keen newspaper man. He scooped the world on the first real illness of the mother. Reporters from his papers had been called off the job, everything being quiet. Mr. Davis was told to remain to try for pictures. tt tt tt “YT7TLL I file a daily story?” VV Mr. Davis asked the home-ward-bound newshrunds. “No, lay off,” he was told by the shrewdly calculating newsmen who foresaw no further enjoyable quintuplets news assignments if such were the case. So Mr. Davis co.ifned himself strictly to trying for pictures, till one day at dawn, Oliva, the father,

April 6 Radio operators and pilots who were listening in on communications from United Air Lines coast-to-coast airplanes couldn't keep secret one urgent message they heard recently.

Then Mr. Davis dispatched a wire, which has become classic in newspaper annals: “Mrs. Dionne had a bad night is reported in a sinking condition rain no photos—Davis.” Police sirens cleared the way for the return of the newsmen. Meanwhile, Fred Davis kept the story warm over long distane telephone to his office. His good work earned his appointment by the guardians as official photographer to the Dionne quintuplets.” He is the only photographer to secure any photographs whatsoever of the quins since the third day of their lives. His present contract will continue until July, 1936. After that time the rest of the photographic world will probably have given up trying.
