C. OF C. REQUESTS RELIEF ON TAXES
(Continued from Page One)
If the State increased its pay- | ments to teachers immediately, instead of waiting until the first of the year, Indianapolis property owners would be saved $175,000. Elimination of the 15-cent State property | tax levy would bring a further sav- | ings of nearly $900,000 to Marion | County taxpayers, the Chamber said. | The Chamber in a prepared state- | ment said: | “This State surplus has grown out | of taxes that were levied to give re- | lief to property owners. If the sur- | plus is permitted to continue to | grow it will invite extravagant ap- | propriations for new enterprises by | the State.” State officials pointed out the surplus has resulted from the growth in receipts from gross income taxes, | alcoholic beverage taxes and other | special levies, and these receipts. | they said, have increased because of
tions. Chamber officials said when these |
it was with the idea that the money |
raised would give relief to property |
owners.

Japanese Peril— From Beetles
By United Press 1 NEW YORK, July 23.—An army of insects marched on the country’s largest city today. The army of Japanese beetles— voracious, ready to eat anything ex-
| cept steel or concrete — already | were in the suburbs—Long Island, |
New Jersey and Westchester County—causing severe damage. At Camden, N. J. crickets and field mice were acute nuisances. A six-block area was invaded this week by a horde of crickets. Liquid fire burned vegetation on vacant lots where it was thought the crickets were breeding. Dr. Roger Conant, curator of the Philadelphia Zoo, heard about Camden's troubles yesterday and offered to send up a flock of skunks. He said skunks liked nothing better than a meal of beetles. Commissioner of Public Works Prank Hartman, thanked Dr. Conant, but said Camden had enough troubles without importing skunks.
OFFICER USES FISTS TO CONVINCE DRIVER
Rufus Crawford, 23, of 225 Pearson St. is in City Hospital today after learning that Indianapolis traffic officers are in earnest about this traffic safety campaign. When Motorcycle Patrolman Tony Sansone motioned him to the curb last night on a little matter of a red light, Crawford made his argu-
ments so strong that the officer reported he was forced to use his fists to make the arrest. Crawford was charged with running a red light and resisting arrest, and then was sent to the hospital to recuperate.

Merging of Federal Welfare
Agencies Adv
By United Press WASHINGTON, July 23. —The | Brookings Institute today urged |
integration of the Federal social and public welfare agencies into one unit, preferably under the Department of Labor. The Institute, in another of its reports to the Byrd Committee on Federal Government Reorganization, criticized “administration confusion” which, it said, confronts any citizens seeking aid from welfare agencies. Rural welfare work should continve under the Department of Agriculture, and welfare efforts for Indians might be retained by the interior Department, the report said. It recommended, however, that all other agencies—including the Public Works Administration, the Work Progress Administration and most of the Social Security Board’s functions—be transferred to the Labor Department.
Single Secretary Opposed
The report, made public by ‘Chairman Harry F. Byrd of the Special Senate Reorganization ‘Committee, said “consideration” should be given to creation of a
“Board or hen " ‘to ‘control
ised by Institute
the integrated welfare system and that administration should not be by a “department with a single secretary.” Listing those agencies it believed should be under the Labor Department, the Institute included these already in the department: Bureau of Labor Statistics, Women’s Bureau, Division of Labor Standards, Conciliation Service, Employment Service, Immigration and Naturalization Service and the Children’s Bureau, From the Treasury Department, the Institute would take the Public Health Service; from the Interfor Department, the Freedmen's Hospital and the Government HosRital for the Insane, both located in ashington. From the Social Security Board would be taken Unemployment Insurance, Old-Age Benefits and Assistance and Relief for the Blind. In addition, “what will remain of the Federal Relief Administration,” the Works Progress Administration, the “overhead organization” of the Civilian Conservation Corps (now under the War Department) and the National Youth Administration (how under WPA) all would be included in. the proposed integrated ‘agency ’

State Patrol to Increase
As seven more persons lost their lives in Indiana traffic accidents during the last 24 hours, State Safety Director Donald Stiver announced that the Indiana highway patrol would be doubled on Sept. 1. Sixty more officers are to be assigned to superintendenting highway traffic at that time, he said. Lieut. Peak said he had been promised co-operation by Municipal Courts in making a new drive to reduce the speed of motorists to comply with ordinance limits. This campaign to slow up traffic is one of the most important parts of the City's safety drive, Lieut. Peak said.
Causes Accidents, Claim
“Speeding is one of the major causes of our high accident rate here,” Lieut. Peak asserted. “It indirectly results in other violations, such as running red lights and preferential streets. “When a driver is going 45 miles an hour, he often goes through a traffic light on the change or fails to stop for a boulevard because his car is not under proper control.” The 30-mile-an-hour limit is to be enforced in all streets except in the downtown district and in out-
or 50
lying commercial sections such as | Fountain Square, Belmont Ave. and |
Washington St., 42d St. and College Ave. and 38th and Illinois Sts. where the limit is to be 20 miles an hour.

Leap in Prices Oftsets Wheat Losses by Rust
Black and red rust developing in Indiana fields during the last month have cost farmers approximately 8,000,000 bushels of wheat, Farm Bureau experts said today. Increased prices, however, make the dollars and cents negligible, it was asserted. The June forecast made by the U. 8S. Agriculture Department indicated that more than 36,000,000 bushels would be harvested this year. This figure is 20 per cent
will loss
| above the 30,000,000-bushel normal
crop. The farms, vield
invaded state the actual 28,000,000 Hoosier
rust then cutting down to approximately Edmond Foust, Farmer editor, said.
Prices Go Up
When the above-normal crop was impending, prices were averaging around 95 cents a bushel. Recent prices have hovered near the $1.20 mark. The 25-cent increase makes the present crop valuation about $34,000,000, or just a few thousand dollars under the crop value predicted last month, it was pointed out. The rust this year is more prevalent in the central than in the northern or southern sections of the state, Mr, Foust said. He attributed this to the fact that southern Indiana wheat had matured early and northern Indiana wheat was not developed sufficiently to be affected by the rust, In the central section, however, the wheat had reached the proper stage to be most seriously injured. Surveys have shown, Mr. Foust said, that in some fields the rust has reduced the grain to 45 or 50 pounds to the bushel, while in oth ers the wheat has thrived so that the farmers are realizing 61 to 64 pounds to the bushel, an abovenormal figure. Rust affects the wheat stems, drying them up and preventing moisture from reaching the grain itself, it was pointed out.
Corn Crop Good
Crops other than wheat have continued to develop as favorably as was predicted, Mr, Foust as serted. “I doubt if T have ever seen the corn crop prospects any better than itt is this year,” he said. He attributed this to the fact that there has been plenty of moisture all ear. Oats, barley and clover crops also are to be above average, it was predicted.
