ACCOUNTANT PRAISES SOCIAL SECURITY LAW Charlton Carter Discusses Act Before Service Club. "Objectives of social security legislation are in the main admirable,” Charlton N. Carter. Indianapolis accountant, said this noon at the Sen-ice Club luncheon in the Lincoln. "The porgram will, if maintained,” Mr. Carter said, "greatly relieve the effects of technological displacement and casual unemployment in ordinary times. It will not relieve depression unemployment which must be cared for by other means. "The act should build an amazing standing army of officers and employers under the many branches of welfare activity proposed. Later as its full cost is felt, there will be demands for greater benefits and lower costs for workers.” U. S. WILL BUY UNITS FOR DENTAL SCHOOL Tublic Health Service to Conduct Child Research Here.

Prof. Bridenstine spoke at a luncheon of the Indiana University Club of Indianapolis at the Columbia Club. “There are two possibilities for the future,” he said, “breakdown of civilization or the rising to new heights of economic welfare. “I feel the necessity to solve the problems will be so great that the country will find a way to rise to new heights,” he said. In this process he enumerated a more equitable distribution of wealth and income, greater social and economic security through the control of problems of old-age unemployment and greater use of power through more inventions in air transportation and salvation.

in the Spanish-American War. The statue was presented to Indianapolis by the people of the state of Indiana. It was moved to Garfield Park in 1915. Note the easy pose of the statue and the naturalness of the folds in the clothing. Note, too, the martial expression of the military man which the artist has succeeded in catching. Unlike much other biographical sculpture of the period, which generally had about as much life as the cast iron deer you used to see scattered on lawns, this figure has a living, vital quality.

PUBLIC SERVICE PLACED FIRST Water Company Engineer in Scientech Talk Finds It Pays Dividends. ‘‘Engineers are convinced that their interests are identical with those of the pubtic,” Homer Rupard, Indianapolis Water Cos. assistant engineer, said this noon at the Scientech Club luncheon at the Board of Trade. His subject was “Are Engineers Socially Minded?” Pointing to examples that prove that engineering associations have more and more been concentrating their efforts on economic and social problems, Mr. Rupard said that it “exemplifies the thesis that enlightened and intelligent self-interest is an elective means of securing the public interest. “Organ: zations other than engineering, representing important minorities, mikht well follow this thesis,” he said Robert J.

IT’S TIGERS AND COBS, SAYS JOE Expert Reaches Conclusion, but Nearly Spoils Easter Broadcast. (Continued From Page One) going into the church paused to view the odd Easter Sunday ceremonials. A copper yelled, “Say, youse guys got all you want?” It seemed that unfortunately they hadn’t. The sound men wanted a retake. So the tall, blond young man and the lady in navy blue did it all over again. This time it seemed to be the malarkey, for Mr. Hicks beamed into the microphone and thanked the two strollers for making the happy Easter day what it was. a tt tt THERE isn’t any particular point in this except that it may help the outsider better to understand some of the bizarre behaviors of the country. But seriously, in my book these two teams figure as the class of the leagtie. The Tigers spotted the rest of the league a month’s run of mediocrity last year and then won going away, coming from nowhere. They are stronger now. The veteran Al Simmons can help the Tigers a lot, but it may not make any difference whether he does or doesn’t. They won without him last year. True enough, few clubs ever manage to win three championships in a row. The Tigers of 1907, ’OB and ’O9 did, so plainly there is no law against their modern prototypes repeating. u tt tt THE St. Louis Cardinals are the popular choice to win the National League pennant and of course this club with its vast minor league resources is always a fairly safe selection. But it should be kept in mind they had a better ball club last year and yet failed. If nothing else this proves they can be beaten. The rap against the Cubs is that they took 21 straight games to win the championship and the percentage is heavy against their doing that again. Os course, it is. But who says they’ll have to? As a matter of fact, and this is a point generally overlooked, the Cubs probably could have won if they had taken no more than seven straight games. SPEEDWAY LOSES PLEA IN HOWDY WILCOX SUIT Retrial Denied, $42,000 Verdict Is to Be Appealed.

JAMES M. BECK, NEW DEAL FOE. DIES SUDDENLY Libcriy League Lawyer Was Solicitor General for Harding, Coolidge. By United Press WASHINGTON, April 13.—James Montgomery Beck, former Solicitor General of the United States and Representative from Pennsylvania, died unexpectedly at his home here late yesterday. Mr. Beck, who was 75 had practiced law in Washington since his retirement from the House in 1934. He had been prominent recently as an American Liberty League attorney and as a bitter critic of the New Deal. His physician said the cause of death was coronary thrombosis, a heart ailment. He had appeared well at luncheon, but collapsed later and died at 4:30. Funeral arrangements have not been announced. Mr. Beck, in the midst of his third term in the House, announced his retirement on Sept. 13, 1934, because, he said, “under present conditions Congress is merely a rubber stamp for the executive, and to be one-four-hundredth part of a rubber stamp no longer appeals to me.” Because of his reputation as a constitutional lawyer, Mr. Beck had taken an active part in Liberty League opinions regarding constitutionality of New Deal laws. He argued against the TV A, which the Supreme Court recently upheld. Mr. Beck was. Solicitor General from 1921 to 1925, in the Harding and Coolidge Administrations. In his early political career he was a Democrat. He went over to the Republican Party because of his opposition to the “free silver” policy of William Jennings Bryan. Card Party Is Arranged Friendship Circle No. 8, Pythian Sunshine Girls, is to hold a card party at 8 tomorrow night at 612 E. 13th-st.

TORN DARMENT IS CHECKED FOR MURDER CLEWS t New York Police Hope to Find Fingerprints of Writer’s Slayer. By United Press NEW YORK. April 13.—A tom brassiere, the hooks and eyes ripped away, held police attention today a* they sought for a clew that would lead them to the man who attacked and strangled Nancy Evans Titterton. 34-year-old short story writer. The garment was ripped from the writer's body as she struggled against her slayer. Police brushed a silver nitrate solution on it, hoping to bring out fingerprints. Other articles of the clothing worn by Mrs. Titterton. wife of Lewis H. Titterton. executive of the National Broadcasting Cos., previously passed through the silver nitrate test without furnishing a clew. Mrs. Titterton's body was nude except for stockings when it was found late Friday in the bathtub of her apartment at 22 Beekman-pl, a fashionable neighborhood. Police have been concentrating on finding a “sandy-haired young man” who was seen in the neighborhood the day of the crime. They admitted that if the brassiere failed to help them that they were without a single hope of solving the mystery despite the fact that 40 Metropolitan detectives have been working on it for four days. Authorities said that their task was widened by the fact that Rfc-s. Titterton was accustomed to invite strangers to her apartment “because she always was seeking new characters for her stories.” Civic Club to Meet Street and drainage conditions are to be the subjects of discussion at the meeting of the University Heights Civic Club tonight at 7:30 in the University Heights School building. Members will also consider the proposed improving of S. State-st. All University Heights residents are invited to attend.
