if the child is to be served according to the new ideals. “New circumstances have thrown the home life off balance, pushed aside the church as a vital control agency and have left every social agency we know dangling and squirming to find a real honest-to-goodness reason for existance. “A new. and vastly greater cooperation between all the. social agencies in the community now is necessary if any sensible environment is to be given the growing child.” Prevalent notions of self-suffici-ency and separatism of agencies and institutions must give way to mutual help forces and a shifting position upon the P.-T. A. he said. Co-Operation Needed “The main interest in ‘P.-T. A. must shift from interest in itself to using itself as an instrument for fomenting co-operation between all community forces,” he explained. The task of building public opinion will become one of the main objectives of the organization, Dr. Artman said. It must take precedence over interest in both business and politics and profits from leisure. Real child welfare will only result when public opinion overrides private interests in property, money and political feeling. “Without public opinion behind our objectives, the forces of the day

® President Roosevelt has espoused
both these social reforms and has announced he expects to provide initial funds for them from the proposed appropriation of $440,000,000 for general public works, but the first hurdle is Congressional approval of the measures themselves

and secret. Neither measure calls for a large initial outlay, but ultimately they would entail large expenditures. Treasury Secretary Morgenthau is opposing the issuance of a billion dollars in bonds for the Wagner Housing Bill, over a period of four years, to be taken up by the Treasury if not bought by the public. He does not want to see the public debt figure driven up by any such transaction.
‘Wants Program Started
Senator Wagner (D., N. Y.) is ready to accept modification of his measure in his anxiety to get the principle adopted and the program started, even on a skeleton basis, and the same is true of Rep. Marvin Jones (D., Tex., sponsor of the farm-tenant program. The New York Senator expressed confidence today in Administration backing to put his bill through at this session. Another obstacle to such social measures as the housing and farmtenant programs, which affect powerful interests, is that Congressmen hesitate about them because of pressures, but avidly sponsor measures of the pork-barrel variety which make a showing to their constitutents.
YOUTH UP 2 TIME ON BANDIT CHARGE
Accused of $400 Holdup of Shoe Store.
Joseph Rolland, 21, who was acquitted on a banditry charge in Criminal Court Jan. 12, was being tried on a similar charge in the same court today. He was acquitted in January of implication in a grocery store holdup when alibi witnesses testified tc seeing him in beer taverns at the time of the holdup. He was on trial today on charges of being one of two bandits who held up the Thom McAnn Shoe Store, 48 E. Washington St., and obtained $400. Five state witnesses identified him as one of the bandits, but the defense intends calling witnesses who will say he was in beer taverns at the time of the crime, Elmo Rollin, indicted with him, has pleaded guilty, but sentence was deferred pending outcome of Rolland’s trial.

HITS COURT PLAN AS DICTATORSHIP MOVE
N. Y. Lawyer Terms Bill ‘Prelude to Usurpation.’
By United Press WASHINGTON, April 22.—Dorothy Frooks, New York lawyer and author, told the Senate Judiciary Committee today that President Roosevelt's Supreme. Court Bill is “only the prelude to usurpation.” The President, Miss Frooks charged, issues “fiats and plans to spent money so that through a de-
moralization of trade and industry and a continued dole system, a dictatorship will . . become an enforced necessity.” She testified after Dean Lewis J. Tepoel of the Creighton University Law College criticized the Court
plan as destructive of the independ- |
ence of the judiciary. The committee prepared to end testimony by opposition witnesses tomorrow and probably will start executive consideration of the bill next week.

Complaint Charges Indiana Railroad With Wagner Act Violations.

lation of an agreement to adjudicate wage difficulties before a Board abiter. Mr. Cowdrill said one of several attorneys on call as trial examiners in Indiana may be selected to hear the complaint. Robert B. Armstrong, international representative of the Amalgamated Association of Street, Electric Railway & Motor Coach Employees of America, signed the charges against the railroad. The charges in brief: 1. That about July 16, 1936, without notice to the union, the company announced a 5 per cent wage increase while the union and employees had elected to arbitrate a wage dispute. 2. That employees were coerced into signing a petition to accept a wage increase less than the amount awarded by the arbitration board. 3. That the officers and agents of the company “did instigate and did promote the formation of a labor organization among their employees and did contribute financial aid and support to that end..” 4. That the company “dominated” and “interfered” with the formation of a labor organization.
Charges Violence Threat
5. That on January 25, 1937 “did cause a vast number of persons hostile to the Union, and with group characteristics of a mob, to gather immediately outside of the Union meeting in Anderson, Ind., while a meeting of the Union was in progress, and by such demonstration and other acts threatened physical violence” to Mr. Armstrong. 6. That an arbitration board award (of 20 per cent wage increase) was repudiated by the company. (A wage increase of 124 per cent was given all employees of the company.) 7. That the alleged acts resulted in strikes at Terre Haute and Anderson. Mr. Cowdrill said the Indiana Railroad has until April 28 to file an answer to the complaint.
Abandonment Request Filed
_ A court order to abandon and liquidate such of the nine units of the Indiana Railroad system as are “unprofitable” was asked in Superior Court 5 yesterday by Mr. Elder. In the petition, Mr. Elder said that labor troubles and other “factors beyond his control . . . have not only rendered the operation of the system as a whole unprofitable but have created a situation which . . . offers no reasonable hope or prospect of future improvement.” Superior Judge Herbert Wilson said he would not act on the petition until detailed information had been presented. The company employs approximately 1400 under the receivership and operates more than 438 miles of track, including the following units: Indianapolis to Dayton, O., by way of Newcastle and Richmond; Indianapolis to Terre Haute; Indianapolis to Ft. Wayne, by way of Kokomo and Peru; Indianapolis to Ft. Wayne by way of Anderson and Muncie; Muncie to Newcastle; Indianapolis to Louisville; street car and bus systems in Terre Haute, Anderson and Richmond. Approval by the Public Service Commission would be necessary before the railroad could abandon part of its service, according to Ralph Hanna, public counsel. He said that records show the Commission's jurisdiction in such matters, but added that a court order to suspend lines would necessitate only formal approval of the Commission.
