~ STATE BUREAU ENDING SURVEY OF HIGHWAYS

Work Precedes Taking Over Of Indiana Roads From Cities’ Control.

and intrastate motorists. The 150 members of the Traffic Bureau, an adjunct of the State Planning Board, ’' working in cooperation with State Safety Director Donald F. Stiver, are making maps of Hoosier highways showing locations of accidents. These maps show the property damage, personal injury or fatality caused by each crash. The State Police Department, Mr. Stiver said, is using this knowledge to increase its enforcement efficiency. Hallie Myers, Traffic Bureau head, and three other members of hisdepartment are expected to discuss their work at the National Safety Council meeting to be held in Kansas City beginning Oct. 11.

Mayor to Study Hall Traffic Court.

mayor Boetcher today said he will confer with the Works Board on the possibility of using Tomlinson Hall to house a Municipal Traffic Court. He discussed the matter with the Safety Board yesterday. Tomlinson Hall is under joint jurisdiction of the two Boards. Reasons for the move would be to relieve the present congestion of the courts and to separate traffic offenders from other types of law vivlators, Mayor Boetcher said.

Deplores Present Situation

He told the Safety Board that a system might be worked out whereby the Municipal ‘Court judges could devote two or three days a week to traffic cases in the Tomlin-~ son Hall quarters. “We must remove traffic offenders from the atmosphere of the Police Station,” the Mayor said. “It is not right to expose them to the society of criminals.” The building also might contain quarters for the police Traffic Department and the Accident Prevention Bureau, it was said. Chief Morrissey suggested that the juvenile traffic school now held in Cropsey Auditorium, be housed in Tomlinson Hall.

Signal Survey Ordered

Meanwhile the Safety Board took the first step toward reducing accidents at railroad elevation abutments, described as “one of the city’s most dangerous traffic hazards.” John McNellis, Gamewell Department head, was ordered to make a survey of the cost for labor and materials to install flasher signals at 32 abutments. The move was recommended by Chief Morrissey who pointed out that several fatalities have resulted from motorists failing to see the stationary lights. Mr. McNellis is to make his report next Tuesday. Mayor Boetcher yesterday told cab company operators that the Administration is opposed to “cruising” by the taxis and intends to “enforce to the letter” a recent ordinance which prohibits drivers without fares from passing a taxi stand. The operators protested when a number of drivers were arrested for violating the ordinance.

CLAIMS BEER DOPED William Atkinson, 32, of 1229 Oliver Ave, told police today that three sttangers doped his beer in a saloon last night, and when he awakened in a truck on W. Washington St. today his billfold containing $25, a $42 watch with a $7.50 chain were missing.

Gertrvde O’Keefe

NEW YORK, Sept. 20 (U. P.) — Magistrate Charles Solomon dis‘missed the charge of homicide against Gertrude O'Keefe, 37-year-old typist, today after a brief hearing in Felony Court. Miss O'Keefe had been accused of the fatal shooting of George O. Frank, 47, a bank teller. Dismissal of the charge was based largely on the discrepancy between bullets found in Miss O’Keefe’s revolver and those of the 32-caliber pistol used in the slaying.

31 CENTS PARED FROM TAX RATE

Another 5 Cents May Be Sliced | Off Proposed City-Center Levy.

vide relief expenditures of approximately $1,500,000. Mr. Book, arguing for the school levy reduction, cited that increased revenue accruing to the School City from gross income ‘tax distribution would be $353,200.

Receive $200 Increase

The school city is receiving from the gross tax an increase of $200 a teaching unit over the current year, he said. The $353,200 would amount to about 7 cents in the tax levy. Asked where the 5-cent cut could be made, Mr. Book said, “that is the responsibility of the School Board.”

It was believed attorneys for the School Board would contend the increase had been considered in the framing of the budget which otherwise would have been submitted at $1.14,

As the impending legal battle came into the open the Tax Board had already voted a 4-cent decrease in the civil city’s $1.29 rate and cut 312 cents from the 52-cent county levy. Following the Center Township relief levy slash, the Board reduced the Perry Township relief levy 9 cents to 23 and that of Wayne Township by 25 cents to 44.

Township Budgets Cut

The board already had cut 20 cents from six township budgets. The board voted to approve $9873.25 increase in the special school and tuition funds as set up in the Center Township budget. Two cents had been sliced from the Warren Township budget with the elimination of a $2000 contingent fund. The largest township slice was made in the Lawrence tuition fund, $6148, amounting to a 10-cent levy decrease. Other township cuts were Wash-

ington, 1 cent; Pike, 3 cents; Franklin, 3 cents, and Decatur, 1 cent.

F.D.R. VISIONS POWER UTOPIA IN RURAL U.S.

Opposes Industrial Plan, Revives Dream of 1920 Trip to West.

(Editorial, Page 12)

By THOMAS L. STOKES Times Special Writer

WITH PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S PARTY, Sept. 29.—Roosevelt the dreamer and prophet takes himself . up into a high mountain and peers into the future “as far as human eye can see.” He calls up the vision of a New America evolving from an era of decentralization, with the growth of big cities checked, and people moving away from the din and dust into smaller communities where they can live and rear their children in fresh air and sunlight. He sees a Utopia of electricity. For it is electricity that will provide heat and light and communication for these happy villages of the future, and lighten the load of the housewife with labor-saving devices. Rising for a time from the clash of realities, from the little fevers and frets of politics, the President tells his dream to the people of the Pacific Northwest as he begins his inspection of the gigantic projects at Bonneville and Grand Coulee in the Columbia Valley of Oregon and Washington. He would move the Zlock backward and forward at the same time. Backward it would seem to the nerve-ridden hordes who think of the advance of civilization in terms of ever bigger cities and brighter lights, and an ever-increasing tempo of living. And backward, also, to those who see in the increasing abundance of electricity the opportunity for the still greater glorification of industry in ever larger concentrations,

Philosophy Is Challenged

For the President’s philosophy was challenged immediately right here in the Northwest. He dived headlong into a controversy that has deep-seated political implications. He found his own party forces split over conflicting objectives.

One group, and it includes the bluff Democratic Governor Martin of Oregon as well as industrial groups and chambers of commerce, sees in Bonneville Dam power the glittering opportunity to build up a great industrial center—a Pittsburgh of the Northwest—about Portland and Bonneville, 40 miles away. Through cheap power, they would attract industries from elsewhere. President Roosevelt, heading the other group, champions wider distribution at low rates to rural communities far and wide, the nucleus of the decentralization of the future. He took his stand boldly, for he was well aware of the plans of the industrial promoters which have been argued for months in Washington. There is a balance, he said. He is not suggesting, he made it clear, that Portland, Tacoma amd Seattle should stop their growth, but they should not grow unhealthily and at the expense of the smaller communities. There must be, he insisted, “a policy of the widest possible use when the electric current starts to flow.” The conflict already present at Bonneville, even before any distribution lines are hooked up, also will arise elsewhere. This seemed assured when the President, in his Bonneville address, urged the pending Norris bill which would create similar projects in all of the nation's great watersheds.

. Power Issue Dearest

Its enactment will be one of his major aims at the next session of Congress. Power interests long ago prepared for the fight. Even more far-reaching in its ultimate consequences than the Public Utility Holding Company Act, which was designed to correct abuses in financial setups, the Norris bill will be fought as bitterly. Of all the issues he has championed, power lies closest to the President’s heart. It is the core of his political philosophy, for in it he sees the avenue of attaining “the more abundant life” for the great masses of people, and that more abundant life envisions the creation of small communities away from the strains and stresses, the poor living conditions, of great cities. He expects no early realization of his dream. “It is because I am thinking of the nation and the region 50 years from now,” he declared, “that I venture the prophecy that as time passes we will do everything in our power to encourage the building up of the smaller communities of Lhe United States.”

Dream Started in 1920

It has been 17 years now since he dreamed his dream. He scrawled the outlines on the back of a menu as he sat in the diner of a train that sped along the Columbia River. That was in 1920. He was Vice Presidential candidate then of the Democratic Party. Now

235 | he is back again. 2.19

“When you cross the Mountain States,” he wrote then, “and that portion of the Coast States that lies well back from the ocean, you are impressed .by those great stretches of physical territory, just land, territory now practically unused, but destined some day to contain the homes of thousands and hundreds of thousands of citizens like us, a territory to be developed by the nation and for the nation.”

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 29 (U. P).— Vittorio Mussolini, son ‘of Italy's dictator, celebrated his 21st birthday at a party in his honor last night at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Hal Roach.

SEEK OFFICER'S SLAYERS FREEPORT, O., Sept. 29 (U. P.). —State Police investigating the murder of Highway Patrolman George Conn, age 28, were notified today to keep a sharp lookout for three men who escaped from the Cuyahoga County jail, in Cleveland, last week. o

He's Candidate; Wants Voters To Pick Party

Isaac Binzer, auctioneer, of 4327 Carrolton Ave., today announced his candidacy for mayor and said he was sounding out public opinion to determine which party banner he would run under. He said he was questioning voters, asking them to designate whether he should run as a Republican or Democrat and that the majority ‘opinion would govern him. Mr. Binzer said his platform would include the exemption from taxes of homes occupied by their owners; a municipally-owned water company; natural gas for 30 cents per thousand feet; licensed gambling houses; street repairs and “I would turn the Police Department upside down.”

BEAUTY’S DEATH STILL MYSTERY

Autopsy on Patricia Maguire Fails to Give Clues to Her lliness.

an ovarine cyst and cerebral atrophy | i

of the frontal lobe of the brain—a drying up of the, front of the brain. The cerebral atrophy was said to have been the only unexpect:. result and doctors will endeavor to determine whether this has any significance. Their first opinio~ was that it has none. This effect is common in elderly persons but not in the cases of persons as young as Patricia. Periods of drowsiness began to plague her in January, 1932. “What is happening to me,” she asked her mother. On Jan. 19, she fell asleep in an elevated car. Each day she became drowsier. She disliked arising in the morning, wanted to go to bed earlier each night. She became forgetful, complained of double vision. On Feb. 14, St. Valentine’s Day, she posted a valentine, went home, crawled into bed. “Kiss me, mom,” she said.

Fell Into Coma

She slumbered fitfully for nearly two weeks, then dropped into a definite coma from which the loudest shout would not arouse her. Her body was rigid at first, then became relaxed. There were definite symptoms of sleeping sickness; a hyperextended, rigid great toe and rigid neck muscles. Past history showed sleeping sickness victims Jost weight. Usually they recovered in seven or eight weeks—or died.

But Miss Maguire gained weight—

Her She seemed

approximately 35 pounds. cheeks became rosy. to thrive. Dr. Eugene Trout was called as her physician. Dr. Traut by this time was administering to her for sleeping sickness. Medical authorities in other parts of the world did not become interested until the coma had persisted longer than other cases they had known. Then they came to confer with Dr. Traut, asked reports from him, studied Miss Maguire personally, Dr. Rene Cruchet of the University of Bordeaux, France, visited the little brown stucco cottage where Miss Maguire lay. He said hers was a true case of encephalitis lethargia, in which he was an acknowledged authority. However, it was an exceptional case,” he said.

Many ‘Cures’ Suggested

From that time Dr. Traut strove with advice of physicians from all parts of the world and with the questionable assistance of thousands of newspaper readers who knew of one ‘“cure” or another and wrote to him about it. The long fight—five years, seven months and 14 days—ended last night in a room in Presbyterian Hospital, where a single light reflected dully on the bed where Miss Maguire lay stricken with bronchial pneumonia. A nurse administered oxygen, with faint but persistent hope. Doctors had adminsitered blood transfusions and heart stimulants. They knew she could not survive surgical removal of the tumor in her condition and postponed that. Her mother, Mrs. Peter Miley, her stepfather, Peter Miley; her sister, Mrs. Gladys Hansen, wept at her bedside. They had given up hope. Last rites of the Roman Catholic faith had been administered. Miss Maguire stopped breathing at 8:35 p. m. The change was so slight that it was not recognized for several minutes. Then two physicians bent over her, straightened, and nodded their heads.

Every weapon of the Japanese Army was brought into use. Infantry, machine guns, artillery, siege guns, naval guns, tanks and cavalry smashed into the Chinese lines on the front extending northward from the North Railroad station to Lotien. For the first time during the battle Japanese marines tried to storm in force the strongly: defended Chinese positions in the North Railroad Station-Chapel area north of the International Settlement. More than 20 Japanese planes bombed the railroad station area for three hours before the marines attacked. The Chinese reported that the Japanese attacked time and again at point after point north of the city, to he thrown back without effective gain. Just before the dawn attack, the United States Cruiser Augusta, lying in the Whangpoo . River, was brought again into acute danger when a big floating mine exploded within a few hundred yards of it. A tremendous blast rocked buildings the International Settlement. Five men, comprising a Chinese “suicide squad,” died in the attempt to mine the Japanese cruiser Idzumo lying in the Whangpoo River off the International Settlement. Foreign navy authorities, after an investigation, said that five Chinese volunteers spent the whole night trying to place the mine so that it would blow up the cruiser. They had taken it a long distance down the river and were only 200 yards from the Idzumo, it was said, when a nervous switchmaster ashore set it off prematurely. It was connected by wires to the shore station. Two Japanese airplanes bombed and machine-gunned a group of cameramen working for American concerns today. The photographers were accompanying a Chinese officer to the front near the North Station area in Shanghai. Those involved were Eric Mayell of Fox Movietone, Arthur Menken of Paramount, Rudolfo Brandt of N. E. A. and H. S. Wong of Metrotone.

Japan Replies on U. S. Protest

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29 (U. P). —The Japanese Government replied through American Ambassador Joseph Grew to the representations against bombing of civiltan areas in China made by the United States, diplomatic sources here were informed today. Similar replies were also given to the ambassadors of Great Britain, France and the Soviet Union, it is understood. The nature of the replies was not known. Secretary of State Hull said at his press conference that he had no word of receipt of any Japanese reply.

U. S. Joins League In Rapping Japan GENEVA, Sept. 29 (U. P)—The

Minister to Switzerland, read to the League's Advisory Committee on the Far East the statement made yesterday by Secretary of State Hull, in effect indorsing the League’s condemnation. Mr. Harrison is sitting with the Advisory Committee as an observer and did not vote on the Committee's resolution of condemnation, The Hull statement said the U. S. Government believes that “a general bombing of an extensive area ‘in which there resides a large population engaged in peaceful pursuits is unwarranted and contrary to the principles of law and humanity.”

Mr. Klein said the measure would make the preaching of class, racial and religious hatred and encouragement of discrimination against any such groups a felony. Other provisions would require annual registration of membership lists of secret societies with the Secretary of State and filing of secret oaths with that official.

If you dislike people, you can’t ex« pect them to like you. I had a cousin who was engaged to a girl down home one time and one day they went to-a preacher to get mar= ried. The preacher got to the part of the ceremony where he asked my cousin if he'd take the girl as his wedded wife and my cousin says, “No, 1 won't — I’ve taken a sudden dislike to her!” Two weeks later they tried it again and when the preacher asked her if she'd take my cousin for her lawful wedded husband, the girl says, “No, I won't--I've taken a sudden dislike to him. Not long after that, they tried it again and the preacher got half way through the ceremony when he closed up his book and he says, “I can’t go through with this ceremony—I've taken a sudden dislike to both of you!”
