BOARD FAVORS FUND TO FIGHT " SYPHILIS HERE

Indicates $12,500 Request Of Health Bureau “to «Be Granied, :

| em a——— | |

‘ The Marion ‘Count Tax Adjustent Board today indicated if would not cut a City Health Board budget request for $12,500 to fight syphilis. | . Dr. Herman Morgan, Health Board secretary, told the board that, with that amount end the aid of the Federal Government, he expected the disease to be cut 60 per cent “in the next few years.”

The Health Board budget request stands at $128,880, or $21,025 more than last year.

Five City department budgets are yet -to be examined. Police radio fund requests were to be considered first today.

Meanwhile Board members pressed their work without a seventh member. The Board still was unable to fill a vacancy left by the resignation of Louis Borinstein. Eight local businessmen have declined the appointment.

Although the 1938 Police Department budget provides an increase of $184,000 over the requess for 1937, thorough examination by Board members failed to draw heavy criticism. : Materials Item Challenged

Increases in general supplies and Materials items totaling $8000 were challenged by Board members and William |Book, Chamber of Commerce vice president. Al Schlensker, Police Chief MorYissey’s secretary, explained the additional [funds are to be used in traffic department maintenance. He said the City’s traffic program would be “curtailed” if the items were cut. Budget; figures showed that intreases in those items had been made for several years. Mr. Schlensker said it was due to the fact that the Police Department has ‘been increasing its accident prevention work.”

Record Held Need Evidence

“Our accident record indicates a need for additional prevention measures which can not be carried on without funds,” he said.

The fund increases are to pay for flasher signals, paint for marking streets and stationary traffic signs.

Board [members rans across a $2i0 item fon purchase of 700 batterylighted pencils for the police. Their use upon high recommendation of the Cleveland Police Department prompted the fund request, Mr. Schlensker said. - One budget item requesting $21,608.25 for Police scientific crime lanoratory equipment was passed without challenge. The item calls for an increase of $9000 over last year. The funds are to pay for a “lie detector,” microscopes and other equipment.

CHANGE IN WATER RULES ARE ASKED

The Public Service Commission is fo conduct a hearing at 10 a. m. Wednesday, Sept. 29, on amendments to the proposed new rules and regulations of the Indianapolis Water Co., Public Counselor Ralph Hanna announced today. R. J. Rinehart, Commission exmminer, said the hearing is to ‘define service relationship of the company to its customers.” He id under the 1933 rules adopted by the Commission a property owner installs his own service line from his property to the main. The Water Company then maintains the service lines and replaces them when necessary. Under the proposed rule changes, the Water Company would agree to maintain the lines but would not replace them if more than six feet is needed, Mr. Rinehart said.

KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS TO NAME OFFICERS

“The 69th annual Knights of Pythias convention was to elect officers today. It heard former Senator James E. Watson urge cultivation of a fraternal spirit among the nations to save the “quaking foundation of civilization,” at a dinner in his honor last night. The dinner program was given by the Past Grand Chancellors’| Association. Other high Pythian officers who spoke were Russell B. Dalrymple, Knightstown, retiring |grand chancellor; Harvey T. Walker) Montpelier, new grand chancellor; Thomas L. Neal, Indianapolis, a grand lodge trustee, and Thurman A. Gottschalk, State Welfare Department director. J. W. Craig, Greensburg, a past grand chancellor, was toastmaster.

TELLS BRIDE, 15 TO LEAVE MATE

Judge Geckler Orders Pair Not to Speak to Each Other for Year.

Mrs. Faye Holder Billiu, 15, and her 19-year-old husband, Robert, today were forbidden, under threat of jail sentences, to speak or in any way communicate with each other for one year. Juvenile Court Judge John _F. Geckler pronounced sentence after finding the girl bride guilty of being a delinquent and her husband guilty of contributing to her delinquency. In each case he said: «I am suspending the sentence on condition that you do not speak, or in any other way communicate for the period of one year. And that means just what I seid.” He warned Robert that he would “clap you in jail in a minute if I find you have. violated that order.” The suspended judgment was $100 fine and 90 days on the’Indiana State Farm. The sentence for the bride was indefinite commitment to the Indiena Girls’ School. Then Judge Geckler added that if the marriage was not annulled within the probationary year, he would send both Robert and Faye to Greenfield to face perjury charges in connection with the false age on the marriage license obtained there three weeks ago. Mr. and Mrs. Billiu were arrested in their honeymoon apartment a week ago when Mrs. Mazie Holder, 3055 . N. Illinois St. the bride's mother, and police raided it. They had been married the. preceding Monday. { Faye cried during most of the hearing, and when it was Over, heedless of the judicial order, headed toward her husband, but was stopped by a number of girls who had accompanied her to court. Before making his rulings, Judge Geckler said: “Im going to break this up. I'm not going to permit young men taking girls under age out of the county to marry them without the consent of the parents.” He turned to Faye, then on the stand, and asked her if she thought it was right for 15-year-old girls to marry and she replied that she hadn't given that much thought. Faye said on the stand she did not want the marriage annulled. “I only know that I loved Bob and thai nothing else made any difference,” she said.

president of the Carpenters’ Union, said the national organization probably would take a hand in “the negotiations. Mr. Jungclaus said the arrangements to have the work go ahead were made in the “race against time and cqld weather.” He said he understood some contractors have hired nonunion men while others were arranging work schedules whereby the carpenters’ work will be done later. Steamfitters and painters were to resume work on the Federal Building annex today, and other craftsmen tomorrow, Carl Sand, Great Lakes Construction Co. superintendent, said. “But we can’t go long without carpenters,” he commented. A conciliator from the United States Labor Department and a representative of the Building Trades Department of the American Federation of Labor, had not arrived in Indianapolis today, labor leaders said. Both: were invited by the Contractors’ Association following a meeting Tuesday night. William Rivers, Building Trades Department official, who was in Indianapolis Tuesday, was not acting as a conciliator, Mr. Vestal said. The council, composed of 19 crafts, called the strike a “showdown” to establish the authority of an arbitration board which was set up March 10 to settle disputes over which craft will handle newly developed construction materials.

Attitude Censured

Dr. Forney Hutchinson, Tulsa, Okla., declared last night that revival in modern Methodism is handicapped because it has lost “Godintoxication” and has acquired = “highbrow complex.”

“The modern church doesn’t pray, doesn’t feel, doesn’t expect anything and is frozen at the mouth,” he charged.

Faith in the modern church is “chilled to the bone,” Dr. dutchinson said. “Ministers baptize only a few innocent babies,” he said. “I want a_gospel that will save a grown sinner. Nowadays, a real convert is a 10-day sensation in the newspapers.” At a dinner meeting of the unofficial Methodist Federation for Social Service, the Rev. Charles C. Webber urged a small group of pastors and laymen to seek a new social order. : “Only the church can solve the problems of poverty and unemploy-

Black Episode Over Klan Charges Is Considered Crisis for Roosevelt

(Continued from Page One)

ly, against Justice Black. Unpleasant things are being said about him as he maintains his silence abroad and dodges newspaper ‘reporters. President Roosevelt has announced publicly that he didn’t know the Justice was a Klan member. The search for a scapegoat turns hither and thither. Some choose to blame Attorney General Homer Cummings for failing to turn up: the prospective Justice’s Klan afIiliations. Veiled intimations came from the White House that the Senate is to blame. But to one person, finally, the blame is traced—to the President, himself. Students of Roosevelt, the political leader, have found as weak points in his armor, along with many strong points, a casualness, a carelessness, a cleverness which some say is akin to clumsiness, a sort of abandon—slightly reckless at times—an apparent delight in the sudden surprise, a tendency not to count the cost, not to consider every possible result, an imperviousness tc criticism, which they see intensified since his overwhelming re-election in November. : The story of the Black appointment typifies this method. After his crusade to enlarge the Supreme Court had failed, the nation waited for Mr. Roosevelt's fitst practical test in picking a Supreme Court judge—his selection of a successor to Justice Van Devanter. The panel from which he could select was large. containing the names of brilliant liberals who had won public confidence, either on the bench, in Government service, or at the bar, men with splendid records. He had plenty of time. According to the inside story, the choice finally narrowed down to three men—Senators Black and Minton (Ind) and Stanley Reed, Solicitor General of the United States who had been in charge of presenting Government cases to the Supreme Court. Senator Black got the appointment—and it was a complete surprise, even to President Roosevelt's own White House staff. Nowhere was surprise greater than in the Senate chamber. : Senator Black had a straight New

Deal voting record, but he had won his fame, and created much antagonism in some circles, by his inquisitorial activities. He was criticized for lack of judicial temperament. Administration lieutenants insisted on haste in confirmation. At the outset, the Ku-Klux Klan rumors cropped up. But they were brushed aside, though some Senators insisted up a thorough investigation, notably Senator Burke (D. Neb.), who said he had witnesses present in Washington who would testify to the appointee’s former Klan allegiance. Senator Borah (D. Idaho), nationally known for years as a liberal, took it upon himself to absolve his Alabama colleague of the reported Klan connection. Senator Black did not sit at his seat in the Senate during the debate, but he knew what the Iidaho Senator had said.

Black He!d Silence

President Roosevelt knew, from the newspapers, of the Klan rumors. But he did not call the Senator to the White House during the debate and inquire about these charges. Senator Black had opportunity to advise the President before he accepted the appointment. President Roosevelt is in a serious dilemma. However he acts, a dangerous political issue has been raised.

Johnson Says F. D. R.

Favors Court Puppets

CHICAGO, Sept. 16 (U. P.)— Gen. Hugh S. Johnson, former chief of the New Deal’s National Recovery Administration, charged today that President Roosevelt seeks control of the Supreme Court “by the appointment to it of a majority of puppets of his own choosing, hillbilly wool hats from the forks of the creek like Hugo Black.” Gen. Johnson in an address to the National Hardwood Association, made only that reference to the controversy involving appointment of Senator Hugo Black to be an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. His speech was a broad attack upon what he said was a dictatorial trend in the Government.

As soon as the Council met, Premier Negrin fulfilled expectations by openly accusing Italy of Mediterranean piracy. Shortly | before the Council met French-Russian sources said the nine powers which signed the Mediterranean agreement at Nyon, Switzerland, would meet again toniorrow to consider methods of dzaling with attacks on shipping by surface vessels and airplanes, as well as submarines.

This was one of the first colleges in thet United States to admit women on the same conditions, to the same courses, and with the same graduation privileges as men. It was also a pioneer in permitting students to elect the courses best suited to their needs, and in making a woman, Catherine Merrill, professor and head of the English department.
