F. D. R. ASKS FOR I HELP OF YOUTH I AT BALTIMORE 25,000 See President Open Fight for Re-election in Historic Armory. (Continued From Page One) His face was the first to lock out at you from the official program] His ghost seemed to hover about the meeting last night. It Just would not go away despite all the proprieties which were assembled for the occasion—a torchlight parade through the city before the meeting, the singing of the President's favorite, “Home on the Range,” the presence of all the bigwigs of the New Deal. Cabinet members, Vice President Garner, Speaker Joseph W. Byrns and Mrs. Roosevelt. Other mechanism to afford the proper setting was the assembling of the state’s old-line leaders, headed by the newly married Senator Millard Tydings, who, despite their coolness toward much of the New Deal, have come over to the President for purposes of the campaign. This armory is filled with historic Democratic associations. It was here that Woodrow Wilson was nominated. It was here that Franklin Roosevelt shook the rafters in the 1932 campaign. Famous ‘Slips’ Is Recalled It was in the 1932 speech that Mr. Roosevelt made that “slip” upon which Republicans seized—his offside interpolation that Republicans owned the government lock, stock and barrel, including the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court since has not been kindly to his program, and he has worked up some dissent from its authority. But lots of these people over here revere the old ways, the old things. They do not want a change. Political chieftains and politicians appraising the “opening speech” of the 1936 campaign today found at short of the fiery document they had anticipated. Almost devoid of resounding phrases, entirely lacking In direct attack on his enemies, the chief executive did indicate that the New Deal would campaign on a pledge of continued social and economic readjustment. He promised continu' and action to lessen unemployment <nd “bring under proper control the forces of modern society.” Observers saw much significance in what seemed a flank criticism of industry’s role in unemployment. Resurrecting the ghost of NRA, the President said that while it was operative “a certain manufacturing industry” curtailed the average work week to 36.4 hours. Since NRA was ended by the Supreme Court, the average work week has become 39.9 hours. 16,650 Deprived of Jobs Assuming, he said, that the industry employed 166,500 persons, this meant that 10 per cent, or 16,650 persons, “have either lost their jobs, or, by working longer hours, are preventing 16,650 other people from getting employment.” “It seems reasonable, therefore,” he continued, “that industry can contribute in great measure to the increase of employment if industry as a whole will undertake reasonable reduction of hours of work a ■week, while, at the same time, they keep the average individual pay envelope at least as large as it is today.” Mr. Roosevelt spoke directly to youth—to the generation that came of age since 1929 and found its opportunities stifled by the depression. He held forth to youth his program of readjustment and the “middle rdad” between those who would “do nothing” and those who would “do everything,” comparing his program with conservatism. Youth’s Objective Outlined “Your objective,” he said, “is, I take it, this: An opportunity to make an honest living; a reasonable chance to improve your condition in ihe as you grow older; a practical aosurance against want and sufferng in your old age; and with it all the right to participate in the finer iiings of life—good health, clean amusement and a part in the satisfactions bf the arts, the sciences, and religion. "Faced with that objective, it is clear that many of the old answers are not the right answers. No answer, new or old. is fit for your thought unless it is framed in terms of what you face and what you desire—unless it carries some definite prospect of a practical down-to-earth solution of your problems.” The world of today, the President said, is “not the set old world of your fathers.” The facts and needs of civilization, he said, “have changed more greatly in this generation than in any century that preceded us.” Old Answers Are Wrong “Flaming youth has become a flaming question. You have felt the rough nand of the depression. You have walked the streets looking foi jobs that never turned up. And youth comes to us wanting to know what we propose to do about a society that hurts so many of them." No man, the President said, who seeks to evade or to avoid an answer to these questions deserves the confidence of youth. He deplored “older people who seem to take unmerited pride in the mere fact they are adults” and answer the questions of youth merely “with their most patronizing smiles and a pat on the shoulder.” Asserting that “age has been on the side of the tories,” Mr. Roosevelt declared “it is clear that many of the old answers are not the right answers.” He outlined the major objectives of his Administration, intended to lead to a realization of that objective, as: Reduction in the work week to spread employment; establishment of minimum and maximum

TUNNEL UNDER STATE FAIRGROUND RACE TRACK WILL ELIMINATE HAZARD

A vehicular and foot traffic tunnel 40 feet wide and 12 feet high is being driven under the west end of the race track at the State Fairground. The tunnel, which is to have a 30-foot roadway and five-foot sidewalks on either side, is being built by WPA employes. It is designed to help relieve the parking problem during the State Fair. Nine tons of steel and 600 yards of concrete are to go into its

working ages, which would keep youth in school longer and provide the aged with rest and comfort, also to spread employment continuation of “social pioneering;” establishment of minimum “average” wages in industry; increased and wide distribution of purchasing power.” Mr. Roosevelt did not subscribe to the theory that even with a completely restored prosperity there will be a vast army of unemployed. “No man who is sensitive to human values dares accept it. That is w'hy we are not content, merely, to restore what is sometimes called prosperity. We propose to attack the problem from every conceivable angle.” This attack should include “a greater purchasing power far more widely distributed.” This, he said, would mean the consumption of more goods and in turn increased production w r ould mean more employment. He concluded his address with an impassioned plea to youth to “hold fast to your dreams” and have faith. Have Faith in Dreams “Be wise enough and tolerant enough, you who are young in years, to remember that millions of older people have kept and propose to keep these qualities of youth. “You ought to thank God tonight if, regardless of your years, you are young enough in spirit to dream dreams and see visions dreams and visions about a greater and finer America that is to be; if you are young enough in spirit to believe that poverty can be greatly lessened; that the disgrace of involuntary unemployment can be wiped out; that class hatreds can be done away with; that peace at home and abroad can be maintained; and that one day a generation may possess this land, blessed beyond anything we nowknow, with these things—material and spiritual—that make man’s life abundant. “If that is the fashion of your dreams then I say: ‘Hold fast to your dream. America needs it.’ ” INTERPRETS TALK AS TOWNSEND PLAN 0. K. Ninth District Candidate Wires Thanks to Roosevelt. Times Special COLUMBUS, Ind., April 14. Weldon W. Lambert, local Ninth District congressional candidate, today wired President Roosevelt the following message: “Three thousand nonpartisan Townsendites here heard your great speech and virtual indorsement of the Townsend Plan last night. You seemed almost persuaded to support our old-age pension plan. If eventually, why not now?”

construction, according to R. E. Metzger, superintendent. About 60 men and five trucks are working on the job, which is expected to be completed by the middle of June. The infield of the track is to be cut down about four feet, so that grandstand spectators can see the back stretch, and the track itself is to be resoiled. “This tunnel will eliminate a bad racing hazard,” Carl James, superintendent of buildings and

FARMER LABOR GROUPTO MEET Formation of Party to Be Topic; State Socialists Cool to Plan. (Continued From Page One) to be one of considering united action for national and state legislation for eradicating unemployment and bolstering social security. Leaders, said to be indorsing the conference, are believed favorably disposed to a Farmer-Labor Party provided such a movement could gain whole-hearted support from farmers and trade unionists as well as liberals. Gov. Floyd B. Olsen, Wisconsin, titular head of the Farmer-Labor Party, has urged a national convention of the party. Hoosiers interested in the movement are expected to attend. Last year the Indiana State Federation of Labor killed a resolution for formation of a labor party. A group of labor union members in Terre Haute, South Bend, and Gibson County are said to favor formation of a political party to represent them as well agrarians. The Socialist Party of Indiana has two prospective candidates for Governor in Powers Hapgood, liberal and labor leader, and M. B. Tomisch, Gary attorney. The party’s vote in the last presidential election was 21,388 and Forest S. Rogers, state secretary, believes that this vote will be boosted in November. He sees no trend of party members toward the Townsend Old-Age Pension Plan or the National Union for Social Justice but believes any losses the party may sustain will be due to the liberal voter casting his ballot with the major political parties. Between 40 and 50 delegates are expected to attend the state Socialist convention to name the ticekt.

grounds at the fairground, said. “Race horses instinctively try to jump an automobile track running at right angles across the race course. When pacers do this, it is especially bad, because they get tangled up in their leg toggles and may injure themselves seriously. The tunnel will stop this and likewise will stop small boys from running across the track during races. Boys don’t seem to understand that horses haven’t got four wheel brakes.”

Happy?-Stung!

If you’re feeling pretty set up about the warm weather this week, your ardor will be dimmed by the announcement of Frank Wallace, state entomologist, that mosquitoes begin breeding the first warm days. With many lowlands filled with stagnant waters after the floods, mosquitoes are expected to be plentiful this summer. Fifty of the buzzing insects can be raised in a quart tin can. If the water drains out of the depressions before the mosquito eggs ary hatched, the mosquito population will not be so dense. Since there are few cases of malaria in Indiana, Mr. Wallace does not expect Hoosiers to be bothered much by mosquitoes spreading this disease.

CONVICTED OF TRESPASS Defendant, However, Denies Part in Attacking Block Truck. Albert Hefferman, 34, of 1214 Nordyke-av, was convicted on a charge of malicious trespassing by Municipal Judge Charles J. Karabell today anc fined $5 and costs. He was alleged to have broken the windshield, headlights and windows of a William H. Block Cos. truck on April 6. P. A. Smock, 2130 S. East-st, driver, identified Hefferman as being one of four men who took part in the alleged trespass. The defendant, however, said he was at home at the time the offense was committed. School 28 P.-T. A. to Meet School 28, Parent-Teachers Association, is to meet at 2:30 tomorrow. A speaker from the Indianapolis League of Women Voters is to be present.

LOYAL FRIENDS EASE BLOW FOR ESSAYJIINNER' Home Town Folk Welcome Youth at Airport, Much to His Surprise. By United Press PLATTSBURG, Mo., April 14. Everybody in Plattst irg today went out of his way to m ke things easy for Lloyd Lewis. “Lloyd is okay and we’re still proud of him,” everybody said. “If he did anything wrong, he didn’t know it.” Lloyd, who in his 18 years on the farm never before got more than 60 miles away from home, returned today from New York, where he was told that in winning Eddie Cantor’s peace essay contest he had committed a strange offense called plagiarism. His essay on “How Can America Stay Out of War,” it appears, had been written some time ago by Dr. Frank Kingdon, president of the University of Newark. That meant that the SSOOO scholarship Lloyd thought was his would go to someone else. Delegation Greets Him At the Kansas City airport when Lloyd’s plane arrived was a delegation from Plattsburg—his history teacher, the superintendent of schools, and the man who runs the cleaning shop. As he stood on the steps and looked past newspaper photographers. Lloyd’s eye caught that of E. O. Hammond, the superintendent. A delighted smile broke over his thin, farm-boy’s face. “Gosh,” he said, “I didn’t suppose anybody’d be here to meet me.” “Os course, we’re here to meet you, Lloyd,” said the superintendent. “We’re mighty proud of you.” “Have a good trip, Lloyd?” asked J. H. Baber, the cleaning shop man, whose son, Jones Baber, is a schoolmate of Lloyd’s. “I had a swell time,” Lloyd said, “but I’m sure glad to be back.” Says Cantor Will Help Him. A newspaper man spoke up. “Lloyd, did you copy that essay?” “Why, I guess so,” the boy replied. “Anyway, I had it with me when I wrote mine. But shucks, I didn’t know it was that fellow’s property.” “What did Cantor say?” “He told me not to worry. He said everybody makes mistakes. He said he had made some mistakes when he was young.” “Do you intend to go on to college when you get out of high school?” “Yes, if I can. Mr. Cantor said that ‘we’ll see that you get to college.’ ” OFFICIAL WEATHER United States Weather Bureau— Sunrise 5:08 | Su lset 6:22 TEMPI,RATURE —April 14, 1935 7 a. m 40 1 p. m 59 —Today—--6 a. m 49 10 a. 59 7 a. m 50 11 a. m 60 8 a. m 51 12 (Noon) 60 9 a. m 55 Ip. m 66 BAROMETER 7 a. m 29.98 1 p, m 29.84 Precipitation 24 hrs. ending at 7 a. m. .01 Total precipitation since Jan. 1 8:34 Deficiency since Jan. 1 3:08' WEATHER IN OTHER CITIES AT 7 A.

Disease He Discovered Kills Dr. Harlow Broods World Honored Young Physician 45 Years Ago for Aiding His Teacher Conquer Gas Gangrene. By United Press NEW Y'ORK, April 14.—1n every country of the world today there are men, women and children alive, who otherwise would be dead, because 45 years ago an earnest young physician and a grizzled medical educator risked horrible deaths to identify and give battle to a tiny bacillus that had been killing men since time immemorial.

The young physician and his teacher won a fight against the germ and both were honored throughout the world. Ten billion bacilli might have laughed today, for yesterday afternoon the earnest young physician died, at 65, of gas gangrene, the revolting disease that he fought and whipped 45 years ago. He was Dr. Harlow Brooks, one of the foremost diagnostic physicians of the United States. His collaborator of the nineties, Dr. William H. Welch, died several years ago. And even the laboratory assistant who aided them was made a widow by the same bacilli, for she became Mrs. Harlow Brooks in 1899. The germs that caused Dr. Brooks’ death are known as Welch's Bacilli, in honor of the senior of their discoverers. They are normally present in the majority of human bodies, but become potent only in a condition of bodily debility. Dr. Brooks had been ill of grippe and a liver infection since Thursday, when he returned from a visit to a patient in Miami. His widow and his daughter, Miss Ruth Brooks, were en route, when he died, to British Guiana, where Miss Brooks had a commission from the American Museum of Natural History to model heads of natives. The gas gangrene that caused his death is so-called because the bacilli that cause it produce great quantities of gas inside the body. Before he and Dr. Welch isolated the germ, it almost always was fatal. It still is one of the most dangerous of the ills of mankind, as was demonstrated recently by the concern of health authorities over its appearance among persons injured in the February flood in Johnstown, Pa. An immunization made possible by the Welch-Brooks dis-

coveries probably prevented many deaths of it there. Dr. Brooks had specialized in diagnosis in recent years. His associates, who described him as “a modern doctor of the old school.” said he was the most consulted diagnostician in America. He wrote many medical books, and maintained interest in a wide range of hobbies, including big game nunting with a camera. He was born in Medo. Minn., studied at the Universities of Oregon and Michigan, as well as abroad, and taught in several New York universities. He will have a military funeral service Thursday morning in New York, as Division Surgeon and Colonel of the Seventy-seventh Division Medical Regiment. He will be buried in Northboro, Mass. CITY OFFICES CLOSE FOR RILEY FUNERAL Rites Held This Morning for Works Board Head. City Hall offices closed from 9:30 to noon today during funeral rites for Hubert S. Riley, president of the Board of Works and Sanitation, who died Saturday. Private services were held at the Riley home, 2320 N.

HAY FEVER IS CURABLE. SAYS MAYODOCTOR You Need Much Patience, for It’s Tedious Job, Expert Declares. (Continued From Page One) are alergens to other sensitive people. “In the old days.” Dr. Osterberg said, “mothers spanked children who wouldn’t eat their oatmeal or eggs or greens. Now they take them to the doctor and have a patch test made.” In making such a test the doctor scratches the patient's arm and applies various substances suspected of producing an allergic reaction. If the spot becomes inflamed the patient is warned to avoid whatever was used in the test. “Sufferers from hay saver. asthma, nose colds and the like.” Dr. Osterberg said, “are allergic to pollens. No matter how far from the country they stay, they breathe in enough pollen from the atmosphere to become afflicted. Solutions Are Injected “Doctors have found that by injecting solutions containing pollen into the sufferer’s arm, they gradually can build up an immunization against the particular kind the patient is allergic to. “The same method is used in curing persons allergic to certain kinds of foods or materials used in clothes. “When the allergen is some substance that may be easily avoided, the simplest course is to avoid it. Dr. Osterberg rebuked those who “have no patience” with relatives or friends who are “finicky.” It’s Not Hysteria “One man’s meat may indeed be another man’s poison,” he said. “It’s not just perverseness or imagination. If your child won’t eat his spinach, you’d better have a patch test made. He may be allergic to it. “And it's true that some people acquire hay fever on the same date each year. It’s not a manifestation of hysteria, it’s allergy.”
