Checkmate

Prince to Kamen to Katz Is Triple Play That’s Doublecross.

By United Press EW YORK, Dec. 30.—Only a few days ago Lenore Prince said that the local boys didn't know how “to sweep a girl off her feet” and that that was why she was going to marry George Kamen, European manager of Mickey Mouse Ltd. So Miss Prince was honeymooning today—as the bride of Meyer Katz. Mr. Kamen came to New York Monday after a. whirlwind —and ‘expensive — ccurtship by cablegram and trans-Atlantic telephone. Their engagement was implicit in the statements he issued in London and Miss Prince echoed in New York. “I love him (Kamen) very much,” the 24-year-old girl said then. “And this is the most romantic way to become engaged.” Just how Katz slipped into the picture was a puzzle to Papa Prince and, evidently, to Mr. Kamen’s uncle, but they were agreed that last night Mr. Katz and Miss Prince took a marriage license to a rabbi, went through the ceremony and departed for Havana on the Empress of Britain.

” un n ON'T quote me as saying I don’t know what to make of it,” said Papa Prince. “Say that I say she’s a girl who knows her own mind. Katz was her boyhood sweetheart. I mean her girlhood sweetheart.” He added that he “didn’t think” Mr. Kamen was angry. Mr. Kamen could not be reached for his own version. Mr. Katz and Miss Prince both work for a department store. One of their well-wishers thought that perhaps he had resented her aspersions of the persistence of New York males, “Local boy makes good,” suggested the well-wisher.

FOR AIR SAFETY TOGOINEFFECT

Passenger Line Operators Asked to Use Extra | Caution.

By United Press WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.—Two new regulations, designed to aid in prevention of air transport crashes such as have taken a record toll of 67 lives this year, will be placed in

effect shortly, Assistant Secretary |

of Commerce J. Monroe Johnson | announced toda Mr. Jchnson "refused to state specifically the nature of the two new rules for aircraft. The Bureau of Air Commerce, however, mindful of four major accidents in the last two weeks which resulted in death of 27 persons, has asked air line operators to exercise extra caution on winter flights. Mr. Johnson revealed also that the Commerce Department has asked for additional funds in the next budget to extend and modernize air aids by the Federal goveri-

ment Radio Compass Aid

Air commerce experts have found, he said, that the radio compass and | radio beam could supplement each | other to provide safe navigation, The compass, he said, is almost | perfected and the department is | considering whether to make the de- | vice a required one.

Instruments Smashed On Wrecked Plane

By United Press LOS ANGELES, Dec. 30.—Department of Commerce investigators probed into the wreckage of a United Airliner today to determine what caused the transport to crash near here Sunday night. Nine passengers and the crew of three were killed. Coroner Frank Nance of | Los Angeles County and United Air Lines officials also were conducting inquiries.

Fire which started in a ‘combination dressing and delivery room at the Penn Service Cleaning Shop, 124 N. Pennsylvania-st, last night caused $5000 damage.

MUSICIAN FROM HERE IS KILLED IN SUBWAY

Oscar England, Blind, Steps | In Front of Train.

Times Special NEW YORK, Dec. 30.—Oscar England, blind musician who for 20 years lived in Indianapolis, is dead today because he depended too uncompromisingly upon that seventh sense of a blind man. For many years it protected him from harm, and for the last seven years it enabled him to find his way unassisted among the labyrinths of New York's subway stations and crowded streets. Yesterday that ability failed him. He walked one step too far and fell in front of a subway express train. He was 34. Blinded in childhood by small pox, Mr. England attended the Indianapolis School for the Blind. He is survived by the widow, three children, Wanda, 16; Lelah Fay, 12 and John, 4, of Brooklyn; the parents, Mr. and Mrs. John England, 1623 Ludlow-av, Indianapolis; sisters, Mrs. Ethel Pitts and Mrs. Anna Young, and brothers, Bert and Marjon, all of Indianapolis. .

exudate or discharge is the agent that produces the most severe stage of the disease, Dr. Toomey pointed out that it would be logical to try to protect persons against this substance, Injecting the cough-pro-ducing factor itself in patients already ill with the disease might make them immune to it more quickly and hasten their recovery. Pasteurized wine may be on the market some day, it appears from studies reported by Drs. H. C. Douglas and L. S. McClung, University of California. Pasteurization, they found, will overcome bacterial spoilage of fortified sweet wines which has been a serious problem in the California wine industry.

Termites Are Studied Termites, pests that wreak havoc

lin wooden homes and buildings by

destroying the wood, are aided in their vital chemistry by bacteria, it appears from studies by Drs. Robert A. Greené and Edward L. Breazale, Arizona State Laboratory, Tucson. The bacteria seem to do for the termites what other bacteria do for clover plants, that is, capture nitrogen from the air and make it available for vermites’ food. Possibility that termites may be put to some good use appears from studies reported by Drs. P. A. Tetrault and J. Hurwitz, Purdue University. Bacteria obtained from the interior of these insects can digest corn cobs, the Indiana scientists found, with the production of acetic, butyric and lactic acids. So the termites might prove man’s friend by yielding bacteria that can make

Wins Lilly Award

Dr. Harry Eagle, Baltimore, assistant surgeon for the United States Public Health Service, was awarded the Eli Lilly & Co. $1000 Research prize at the annual banquet last night in the Hotel Lincoln. Dr. Thomas M. Rivers, Rockefeller Hospital, New York City, Society president, presented the award. It is given annually to the “young

{man or woman under 31 years of | age who has accomplished outstand-

ing research in bacteriology or immunology while working in a college or university in the United States or Canada.” Dr. Eagle was selected by a committee composed of members of the Society of American Bacteriologists, the American Association of Immunologists and the American Society for Experimental Pathology. This year’s winner was chosen for his unusual industry combined with thought and originality which resulted in his meritorious achievement in practical and theoretical serology, according to Dr. Rivers.

BEATTEY GIVEN

SECRETARY JOB BY DEMOCRATS

State Fair Manager to Be Clearing Agent for Patronage.

BY TRISTRAM COFFIN

The appointment of James IL, Beattey Jr. secretary to Gov.-elect Townsend, as Democratic State Committee secretary, was ane nounced today by Omer S, Jackson, Democratic state chairman. Dick Heller resigned as commite tee secretary today to become Mr, Townsend's executive secretary dure ing the next state administration. Mr. Beattey, former secretary of the State Industrial Board, is to be« come clearing agent for state patronage in his new position. Howe ever, Mr. Townsend and Mr. Heller are expected to have the final say on appointments. A resident of Indianapolis, Mr, Beattey was graduated from Ine diana University in 1930. He was manager of the 1936 State Fair, Mr, Jackson, who is to become ate torney-general at $7500 a year Jan, 1 by appointment of Gov. McNutt, vesterday served notices of dise missal upon 10 employes of Atty.e Gen, Philip Lutz Jr.

Johnson Dismissed

Alvin C. Johnson, Seymour, ase sistant attorney-general and presie dent of the powerful Young Dems ocrats of Indiana, was one of thosa who received letters from Earl Crawford, Gov. McNutt’s executive secretary, informing him of his dise missal. Mr. Johnson, an active supporter of Please Greenlee and a defeated candidate for the nomination fot Governor, is on the executive com= mittee of the Young Democrats of America and is regional director for Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and Illie nois. Mr. Jackson indicated other dise missals would be forthcoming,

Apprehension Felt

The dismissal notices were res ceived at the Statehouse with aps prehension as some employes specu lated on whether all active sup porters of Mr. Greenlee would be swept out. Mr. Greenlee builf up a strong personal following at the Statehouse in his key position as patrone age secretary to Gov. McNutt. Mr. Lutz and many of his em= ployes sided with Mr. Greenlee in his battle for the nomination. Reorganization of the state exe cise department and dismissal of Paul P. Fry, state excise director, and Lieut. Ray Hinkle, head of the excise police, long have been rumored. Fred Bays, Sullivan Democratic leader, is reported to be seeking Mr, Fry's position, and Rex Rischer, South Bend, former state police of« ficer, is being mentioned for Lieut, Hinkle’s job. McClain May Resign Harry McClain, state insurance commissioner, may resign soon un= less the Townsend administration persuades him to remain, it is ree ported. Mr. Townsend, according to his friends, is determined to keep state changes to a minimum and wait until the close of the General Assembly before announcing major appointments.
