Woodstock property owner, said he was hopeful the project would not be attempted. He said traffic problem could be solved at “much less expense to the city.” Edward J. Bennett, of the Indianapolis Stove Co., said: “It is an extravagance that ought to be opposed to the limit by the taxpayers. It is difficult to see why, with the tax rate already sky-high, such a thing even would be proposed.” . J. P. Frenzel Jr., of the Merchants’ National Bank, said: “I can’t see any reason for the project now. It goes from nowhere to somewhere. There is no reason to spend money for things like that now. What we should be doing is cutting expenditures instead of spending more money.” Decision to proceed with the project was reached today in a meeting which Joe Tynan, the Mayor's secretary, said was closed to the public. Attending were Mr. Tynan, Carl Kortepeter, co-ordinator and district engineer for the Marion County WPA; Mr. Sallee, Edward Perry, Park Board engineer; Mr. Joseph, Henry B. Steeg, City Engineer; Clyde Baker, City Attorney, and Floyd Mattice, City Corporation Counsel. Mr, Boetcher was ill at home. : Mr. Joseph said the City owns the islands. He said they were bought by the Park Board in 1902 from a man named Davenport for $500, and that Davenport had acquired title by “squatters’ rights.” The Cooper Estate deed, he said, ends at the west bank of the river. The WPA project for the dredging of the islands was granted the Indianapolis Flood Control Commission as a “continuation of a general White River dredging project.”

Trustee Head Spurns Plan for State Rule Over Direct Relief

relief group into the State Welfare ‘Department program, which cares for three groups—the blind, the aged, and dependent children. “It is only sound organization, then, to take to the State Welfare Department that other group that needs public assistance, that group that now does not qualify under the three groups now provided for by state law and now receives direct relief from the township trustees,
Unfair to Taxpayers, View
“Moreover, it is unfair to the taxpayers of a township heavily burdened with relief cases to pay a high direct relief role when the taxpayers of other townships, perhaps more able to pay, have a levy only a fraction as large.” The direct relief township rates in Indianapolis, as approved by the Marion County Tax Adjustment Board for budget requests for 1938, are Center (downtown), 31 cents; Wayne (West Side), 21%: cents; Perry (South Side), 23 cents; Warren (East Side), 10 cents; and Washington (North Side), one cent. “It is not the fault of any one township, or county, or state, for that matter, that certain of its citizens are unable to provide for themselves or their families,” Mr. Hosch ‘continued. “Therefore, the money to support them should come from county, state and Federal Governments. 1t is the problem of all three.”
Lauds Merit System
He praised the Indiana merit system and said that its application in the Welfare Department probably would be made the model of states having now neither merit systems nor civil service laws. “And it is quite apparent to informed observers that there is definite evidence the Welfare Department of this state has recruited able persons under the merit system,” he said. Mr. Taflinger explained that township trustees are unworried over any cuts that may have been made by County Tax Adjustment Boards or that may be made’ by the State Tax Board.
Two Ways to Get Money
“We have two legal ways of getting the money we need,” he said. “The State law mandates us to furnish direct relief. We must, under the law, furnish it no matter how great the cost. So, the county will be forced to issue relief bonds to pay for &. “And if the County doesn't, we can order and charge the supplies necessary and the merchants can bring court actions to collect.” In a later speech he described ways in which township trustees could aid the State Welfare Department in cases already entered in legal aid groups.
Discusses Parole System
Mr. Gottschalk said in part: “As to the new parole system in Indiana, we take pride in saying that since February, 1937, we have been at work on the development
of a plan which will become 10

times more effective than the old ‘Indiana parole system. We have done it through our State Welfare Department by making it the central authority for parole supervision. Heretofore, each penal institution has more or less handled its own parole problems, employing its own parole agents. - “Altogether there were only eight parole agents in the state, each one supposedly being responsible for the monthly reporting of from 250 to 300 persons. Now by calling on our county welfare departments for cooperation and making many of them the reporting centers for parolees in their respective counties, we have increased the effective field force of parole agents from eight to approximately 100. Eight experienced men are regional supervisors of parole and they work under the State Supervisor of Paroles. “Administration of the Indeterminate Sentence and Parole Law is left entirely with penal institution officials and the State Division of Corrections in the State Department of Puble Welfare. That is the parole system I speak of and which is the law in Indiana. We have multiplied our force for parole supervision by 10 times since March, 1937. We have added scientific methods for the handling of our problems of pdrole.
Two Reasons Listed
: “It is true that most of our state institutions are filled to capacity and that with the appropriations available it is about all the State can do to house and feed its wards. But in our State Department of Public Welfare we have been advised that by making the most of the resources we have and by using scientific methods of classification, transfer and study of state institutional inmates, we may -in time hope to effect relief from overcrowded conditions. “It can be done, the experts advise us, by. knowing and -classifying the individual characteristics of institutional inmates, giving them a program of education and training suitable to their needs and then finding a niche for them back in the ranks of free society. It is a program. of rehabilitation we are working toward and it is a perfect corollary’ to our welfare program of prevention.”

Japan Spurns Mediation Plea; U.S. Cruiser Again in Line of Fire

must first acquire full appreciation of our aims and aspirations. We think the setting up of an international committee, or the calling of a conference of Pacific powers, to deal with the Chinese-Japanese conflict is not opportune, to say the least, at the present juncture. “Japan does not aim at making China dependent solely on Japan. She does not want her territory. She wants her co-operation in order to bring about a new era of fruitful development and constructive prosperity which will benefit not only China and Japan but all nations in the world, and allow nationals of all nations and all countries to pursue their business freely.” mt———
U. S. Cruiser in
Line of Gunfire
SHANGHAI, Oct. 1 (U. P.).—The United States cruiser Augusta was in line of fire again today as Chinese planes bombed the Japanese airport at Yangtzepoo, across from Shanghai. The Chinese planes drew a 10-minute furious fire and sailors on the Augusta scrambled below decks. A Chinese bomb hit the American Borden & Co. plant in Yangtzepoo, wounding the production manager, Harry H. Cameron, formerly from Maine, but long a resident of China.
Chinese Communists’ Victory Is Disputed
NANKING, Oct. 1 (U.P.).—Details of what they said was a smashing Chinese Communist vicsry over 10,000 Japanese-Mongo-troops in Shansi Province, were revealed today by Chinese sources. The Communists—now the Chinese Eighth Route Army—reportedly routed the Japanese on Sept. 24 and Sept. 26 under the leadership of Gen. Yen Hsi-shan. . But Japanese military authorities in Tientsin said today the Japanese Kwantung Army had given a crushing defeat to “100,000 Com-

Hull to Let World
Judge Japanese WASHINGTON, Oct. 1 (U. P.).— Secretary of State Hull was expected today to let American and world opinion decide whether Japan is justified in bombing densely populated civilian areas in China. : American diplomatic officials seemed willing to discontinue the interchange of notes which was climaxed with Japan’s blunt assertion that continued bombing of such
Chinese cities as Nanking was “necessary and unavoidable.”
Troops Withdrawal Plea Is Drafted
LONDON, Oct. 1 (U. P.).—Difficulty in effecting complete agreement on phrasing delayed the Brit-ish-French note to Italy today. The note was expected to go to Rome by the week-end.

Murdered Man’s Body
Taken From River VALPARAISO, Ind. Oct. 1 (U. P.) .—Authorities today were without clues in their search for the slayers of George Morris, 45, whose battered body was fished up from the Kankakee River 16 miles south of here yesterday. Mr. Morris, a Greek hotel and tavern proprietor at Gary, had been missing from his home since Sept. 8. The body was taken from the river late yesterday by Harry Werich, a river bank dweller, and identification was made by Gary friends of the victim by tatoo marks on the forearm. Coronor Carl M. Davis said that
the body was found about a foot from a bridge, the feet bound with wire and a 100-pound section of rail fastened to the shoulders. He said there was a knife wound
in the right side of the neck which
had severed a large artery. It also was believed the victim had been hit on the head. The neck was broken. His widow told Coroner Davis that the last time she had seen her husband was on Sept. 8. She said she had waited for him in their tavern long after closing time that night but he failed to appear. Mr. Morris’ business partner, whose name was not revealed, said that two days after the disappearance he had received the victim's drivers’ license mailed from East

ous,excitable people should always have a good, steady, easy-going friend to call on when their nerves get overwrought. That's the reason my Uncle Orchie made such a good dentist. People’s nerves are usuale ly on edge anyehow when they go to a dentist's office and Uncle Orchie had such a, nice, quiet, . easy way about him that he put the patient at ease right away. One day a man came ravin’ into his office, all wild-eyed and says, “For goodness sakes, yank this tooth out—it’s killin’ me!” Uncle Orchie says, “Well, now, take it easy. Sit there and I'll take a look at it.” So when Uncle Orchie looked at the tooth, he says, “Yes, that’s right—itll have’ta come out.” So he turned to his boy and he says, “Hod, go over to the house and tell your mama if she’s through takin’ up the carpets, I'd like to have my forceps.” . i (Copyright, 1937)
