LIFE INSURANCE TERMED GOLDEN RULE IN ACTION Provides Way to Care for Self and Family, Oakes Tells Kiwanis. Observance of National Insurance Week continued today with three luncheon programs and an afternoon address before members of thf Woman's Department Club. Mansur B. Oakes National Association of Life Underwriters' field consultant, spoke at the Kiwanis Club’s luncheon in the Columbia Club on "Around the Curve.” "Life insurance is the golden rule in action,” said Mr. Oakes. “It is a plan which enables an individual to provide adequately for his family and at the same time to provide for himself an income in old age from a fund built up by his small savings over many years. "It is a plan which does not prevent one from enjoying the good things of life in order to have an income later in life. Termed Conservative "Life insurance is the most conservative of investments, yet it offers a possible enormous investment return. For instance, in the event of deatjj within a year after taking out a policy, the returns may be about 3900 per cent of the premiums paid. However, the chances are 2 to 1 that the policyholder will live to enjoy the benefits of his policy in old age,” he said. Harry E. McClain, state insurance commissioner, talked on the "Human Aspects of Life Insurance” at the Lions Club luncheon in the Washington. "Whenever you talk to a good life insurance man,” said Mr. McClain, "the chances are that the conversation swings to the question of income, both present and future. The American public is learning that it is not so important how much capital a man may leave to his family, but rather the amount of regular income which is provided by his estate. Life insurance is arranged under a modern program not only to create an estate, but also to administer that estate so as to provide a life income for the man’s family or for himself in old age.” Junior Group Hears Leslie Harry G. Leslie, former Governor of Indiana and president of the Standard Life Insurance Cos., addressed members of the Junior Chamber of Commerce at a luncheon at the Lincoln, speaking on “Life Insurance as a Crime Prevention.” Mr. Leslie said: "Life Insurance which provides funds for education is insurance against criminal careers. The statistics on crime show that the majority of lawbreakers are under legal age and that they come for the most part from homes broken by poverty. "These figures emphasize the importance of guaranteeing children a chance to stay in high school or college by means of educational insurance. Educational insurance transfers the obligation of providing funds for the education of children in the event of a parent’s death to a life insurance company.” Dr. Carleton B. McCulloch, vice president and medical director of the State Life Insurance Cos., was to speak before the Woman’s Department Club at the club’s quarters at 17th and Meridian-sts, at 2. His subject was to be “Woman’s Influence in Life Insurance.” FORMER I. U. TRUSTEE DIES AT GREENCASTLE R. A. Ogg, 87, Was Prominent in Educational Circles. Time* Special GREENCASTLE. Ind., May 13.

HAUPTMANN EXPERT LOSES JOBJN WPA Court Record Disclosed by Attendant Publicity. By Scripps-Howard Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, May 13. The Hauptmann case, which has woven a web of misfortune for many in addition to the late Bronx carpenter, claimed another victim today.. Arch W. Loney lost his job with the Public Works Administration here as the result of—though not because of—his efforts to save the Lindbergh murderer from the chair. Publicity revolved around Mr. Loney when, in the final effort to save Hauptmann, he appeared as a "wood expert” with the claim that the famous “rail 16” of the kidnap ladder did not come from the Hauptmann attic. That publicity brought the disclosure in Pittsburgh that he had a court record there which he had not mentioned in applying to PWA for employment. Administrator Harold S. Ickes dismissed Mr. Loney, effective May 15. The dismissal, it was explained, was based solely on the falsification of personal statements in his application for a job.

Purdue University today was denied collection of $47,073.03 from the state sinking fund by a decision of the Appellate Court. In a suit filed against Atty. Gen. Philip Lutz Jr., State Auditor Laurence Sullivan, State Treasurer Peter Hein and E. H. Dehority of the State Banking Department, Purdue sought to be reimbursed for funds on deposit in the Fowler Bank City Trust Cos., Lafayette. The bank was closed June 2, 1934, at which time the university had on deposit $33,622.46 in a residence hall development fund and $13,409.57 in a fund for retirement of teachers. The Tippecanoe Circuit Court held that the university was entitled to reimbursement from the sinking fund established to protect public funds in closed banks. The principal question involved in the suit concerned "old” and "new” money, the Appellate Court holding the university was not entitled to reimbursement because the funds were “old money,” and did not come under the sinking fund act of 1932. The Appellate Court ordered the lower court to sustain the state’s motion for anew trial and judgment against the university. Purdue will be forced to accept dividends on their deposits in the regular course of liquidation. PROCLAIMS POPPY DAY Mayor Kern Designates May 23 for Veterans’ Welfare Drive.

WELL-TRAINED WORKERS FINB JOBSINSTATE Employment Director Says Skilled Craftsmen Easily Placed. The Indiana State Employment Service has no trouble finding jobs for persons well trained in trades work. Martin F. Carpenter, director, told the National Emergency Council this afternoon in the Washington. "Naturally.” he said, "the placement of untrained youthful applicants and the placement of people who have followed occupations that are obsolete present serious problems. "We find that 23 per cent of the applicants are under 26 years, and 34 per cent over 45 years. “There has been an unusual demand for domestic workers in private homes, and this demand is responsible for a great number of the placements of women. The manufacturing industries in the state also are providing a great amount of the employment. During December, January and February 200 men were placed in manufacturing industries and 11.9 per cent of the total number of men were highly skilled craftsmen. "During the same three months commercial and professional services used 1840 people or 8.5 per cent of the total people placed in jobs during the period.” STAPLE RATES SOUGHT BY TRUCKING GROUP Committee Named to Analyze Schedules at Session Here.
