MEDICO-LEGAL GROUP TO JOIN WAR ON CRIME
Scientific Method of Fixing Auto Accident Blame To Be Sought.
(Continued from Page One)
expected to be made to the Legislature on each of the following problems and proposals, now considered by the groups to be inadequately dealt with in this state:
Topics to Consider
1. Medico-legal autopsies. Some time ago in Indiana there were two deaths and two violent illnesses that appeared mysterious. At the time there semed to be evidence of arsenic poisoning. There were charges and counter charges. Eventually labortary examination’s at the Indiana Medical Center showed the four had malaria. - 2, Chemical tests for intoxication. For some time Indiana state police have been equipped with portable chemical sets to be used in determining the degree of intoxication in an individual. They were invented by Dr. R. N. Harger, toxicologist, member of the Indiana University staff, and have been patented. 3. Expert medical witness and the question of insanity. Prime movers of the coriference are seeking some way to standardize tests for insanity in criminal cases. 4, Scientific laboratories devoted to medico-legal ‘and criminal investigations. Dr. Harger pointed out that these scientific methods might well be made available to all officers in all counties through co-ordina-tion of effort. Proposed Changes On topic one, there is to be.leg- . Islative consideration of substitution of the medical examiner system for the coroner system and improvement of the present cornor system by providing state support for securing services of qualified pathologists and adequate laboratories, ‘and establishing ‘the office of state toxicologist. Legislative consideration is to be given under topic two, to making available for practical use throughout the state, intoxication tests in industrial and traffic accidents. Under topic three, administrative and legislative provision is to be considered for the certification of reliable experts; routine mental tests for repeaters; separation of the insanity issue from other issues, and psychiatric or psychological assistance for courts . and parole boards.

To Robert Koch, a country doctor in. Germany, belongs the credit for finding the germ that causes tuberculosis. In his tiny laboratory he had
been working for years on methods of
growing the germ-and his brilliant discovery is one of the greatest scientific advances of all time. The results of his efforts have saved thousands of lives and opened up new vistas in research work for those eager to control tuberculosis.
8 DIE AS REBELS BOMBARD MADRID
Fires Follow Shelling of Capital From Air.
By United. Press MADRID, Dec. 3. — Seven rebel bombers, . protected by 24 pursuit airplanes, attacked northwestern
Madrid twice this morning as insyrgents launched another. attack |. on the city that has withstood ‘their assaults for weeks. = One power plant was put out of commission, throwing ‘the city. into darkness and stalling street cars. Taking advantage of a light fog, the rebel raiders. zoomed : over the northwest section of the city, letting go about 12 bombs on the first trip. Several fires: started immediately,’ and lights all over that section of the city went out. Anti-aircraft batteries opened fire on. the raider but the fog made it difficult for the loyalists to fire with accuracy.
and the assistance of existing scientific laboratories for cases that arise are to be considered for possible legislation under topic four.

British Public Rallying
Behind Monarch in Fight With Cabinet Over Wallis
; Support of Subjects May Force Government to Give
Up Demand He Abandon Marriage; Abdication ?
i
Talked as York Summoned.
(Continued from Page One)
|that the whole royal family,
including the King had can-
celled aall engagements “for the immediate future.” - Meanwhile, the British public was ablaze with excited
discussion. For months, the people have been kept complete-
ly in the dark by a rigid, self-imposed press censorship. This morning, the dam burst and the general public read for the first time about Mrs. Simpson. The reaction was dis-
tinetly unfavorable.
The people showed that they cherish
the prestige of the throne too much to approve of such a
marriage.
Newspapers in’ London “broke” the story and sold like
hotcakes.
Amazed subjects of the bachelor monarch rushed to buy papers and persons had to walk blocks to find them. Latest editions sold out in a few minutes, and circulation records for
the largest dailies were being set.
Parleys to Decide Issues
In the lobby of the House of Commons, Baldwin's announcement was regarded merely as a “stay of execution,”
while secret parleys with the King will decide the following
questions:
> Whether he will abdicate.
¢
. Whether the Cabinet will resign. : z Whether a compromise can be reached by which the King could marry Mrs. Simpson without changing the succession to the throne or making her queen. ’
Baldwin's staement that
no constitutional difficulties
exist at present was construed merely as a formalistic expression, meaning that difficulties actually’ 'cguld arise only after a decision’inf the government's conflict with the King.
Opinion among members
who discussed only one topic, was that abdication is most probable.
A motion-in the House by Josiah Wedgwood, Laborite, tabled for early “consideration, was ‘widely regarded as the first break in the Laborite ranks in favor of the King, although ‘the sentiment of the House is almost solidly for the government, as evidenced by the cheers which greeted Baldwin when he arose to speak. The motion read:
“That in the opinion of the House, the allegiance they already have taken to King Edward: VIII is not affected by any form of coronation ceremony or by the presence thereat or absence therefrom of any dignitary or personage whatsoever; nor will they substitute any other for ‘the King of England.” The meaning was obscure, but presumably referred to: intimations that the Archbishops of ‘Canter= bury and York, highest dignitaries of the Church of England, who normally conduct the coronation ceremonies, might not attend. :
‘Would Avoid Abdication
- In a statement later ta the press Wedgwood said: “The chief calamity which must be avoided is the abdication of our beloved sov >. - It was understood that last’ night's dramatic conference at which Baldwin laid down the law to his sovereign occurred in the regency: room of Buckingham - Palace, were the King usually entertains Mrs. Simp-

SUBSTITUTE NRA
PLAN OFFERED BY RICHBERS
Under: Program Poor ‘Labor “Conditions Would Mean ~ Unfair Practices. ——iasee & " (Copyright, 1936, by United Press) WASHINGTON Dec. 3.—Former NRA Administrator Donald R. Richberg today proposed a far-reaching NRA substitute program built upon legislation modernizing and socializing anti-trust laws. . Under the plan poor labor conditions - would constitute an unfair competitive practice and would include the question of hours and wages, -Richberg said in an interview, ‘Gen. Hugh Johnson's successor as “Blue Eagle” chief offered. his program as: (1) Scores of “Little NRA” bills were being drafted for submission in the next Congress; (2) Senator William E. Borah (R., Idaho), joined a drive for action on a Federal incorporation bill increasing government control over interstate . commerce; and (3) Secretary of Commerce Daniel C. Roper announced that'a special committee will report Dec. 31 on its study of the effect of NRA.
