pital superintendent; Dr. Charles | Myers, City Hospital superintendent, | and Albert Scheidt, assistant to the | administrator of Indiana University | Medical Center hospitals, said the smoke today “is the worst of any | time this year.” {
‘This Is Awful’
“This is awful,” Dr. Benson said. |
“It is worse today than the last | time and the last time we thought | it couldn't be worse. Something | surely will have to be done. This! thing gets progressively worse. “I have had no direct reports from patients today, but I had plenty last time. It's practically impossible to keep a hospital as clean
a pall.” | Dr. Meyers said that he could not remember when the smoke was as heavy and penetrating at City Hos- | pital. “You can hardly put in words how bad the smoke is out here to- | day,” he said. “If the dirt it brings into the hospital was the only damage done it would be worth drastic action to clear up the situation.”
‘We're Burning Lights’
Mr. Scheidt said he could not | comment on the condition of patients in the pall since he was not | & physician, but said that the pall | was thicker at Robert Long, Cole- | man and Riley hospitals than at | any time in his memory. | “We are burning lights generally | throughout the buildings,” he said. | “Many more than we would ordinarily be burning on a day that, apart from the smoke, would be sun shiny.” There was “considerable smoke” | in the corridors and rooms of St. | Vincent's Hospital during the early part of the morning, causing dis- | comfort for patients suffering from respiratory diseases, Sister Rose reported. The smoke within the hospital began to clear about 8:30 | a. m. she said. Downtown, the pall gathered at 6:30 a. m. and continued to get thicker until 10 a. m. The sun appeared again as a copper disk. Motorists burned head lights. Office building lights flickered through the haze. There was a calm at 6 a. m. today, so little air stirring that the cups of the wind measuring machine at the Weather Bureau did not turn around, the bureau reported. By 10 a. m. the wind had picked | up a velocity of four miles an hour | and the bureau predicted that by afternoon there would be a velocity of 12 to 15 miles an-hour. There was no fog in the smoke except that which the rapidly cool-| ing smoke particles made themselves when they condensed moisture from the air, the bureau said. Those who came to work from Irvington and suburbs not affect- | ed reported the day was bright | outside the smoke area. | Mr. Johnson also said he would
appoint a Smoke Committee League | used successfully in the abatement | | of smoke. Many householders also |

Woman Is Injured
Mrs. Josie Aldridge, 67, of 36 Sycamore St., received a possible fracture of the left leg when struck by an automobile at Merrill and Pennsylvania Sts. yesterday. The driver was a 15-year-old boy and was sent to the Juvenile Detention | Home, according to officers. Two motorists were charged | with drunken driving after their {autos were involved in minor acci- | dents last night. They are James | Dale, 33, of 1317 N. Meridian St., and Merrill Robbins, 40, of 809 E. | 14th St. Struck bv an automobile at 16th | St. and Martindale Ave. while | running for a trolley today, Wil- | liam Reed, 53, of 1630 N. Arsenal | Ave, received a possible fracture of the left leg and bruises. He was | taken to City Hospital, where his | condition was described as fair. | Carson Coleman, 24, of 2038 Columbia Ave., driver of the car, was arrested on a drunken driving | charge.
Eleven Are Fined $80
Eleven persons were found guilty of traffic law violations in Municipal Court today and were fined $80. Three preferential street violators | were fined $15. A taxi driver was charged with | displaying other than white lights | on the front of his cab. He explained
| to Court that the officer was re-|
ferring to a red lamp inside the cab that illuminated a taxi sign. Judge Dewey Myers, State and City. Prosecutors said they knew of no violation attached to the sign and all went to the office of Lieut. Lawrence McCarty who ordered the arrest. He said the law was violated because the sign was visible from the front. The case is to be tried tomorrow.
Townsend Warns State Employees to Observe Law
State employees found guilty of traffic violations must expect from now on to abide by the penalty provided by law, Governor Townsend informed department heads by letter today. He also asked that every State empioyee co-operate with the spirit of the safety campaign. To do this, the Governor said he expected them > familiarize themselves with safety aws. The Governor's letter follows: “In the interests of highway safety, IT would like you to instruct the members of your department to co-operate wholeheartedly with the authorities in promoting safe driving. “Our safety campaign demands the co-operation of all the people, and I feel that state employees by their example can do much to encourage safety. We as public servants should take the initiative in scrupulously obeying traffic laws and regulations. “You should impress upon the members of your department that this State Administration will not permit its employees to evade safety laws because of their positions. “Many people both in public and private life hinder the enforcement of traffic laws by use of influence, friendship or authority. In order to eliminate this evil, we can wel! begin at home and show the people of Indiana that its public servants are sincerely interested in promoting safety. “If any state employee shall violate any safety law, I shall expect hi mto accept the penalty the law inflicts upon violators.”

would be made before the Japanese capture Nanking. The German Ambassador, accompanied by a party of six, has left Hankow, about 350 miles up the Yangtse River from Nanking, aboard the Chinese Customs river boat Haishing and is due at Nanking soon. His mission ostensibly was to seek an agreement between the Chinese and Japanese for a neutral zone in Nanking which all combatants would respect. Further reports that efforts were under way to end the war were contained in dispatches from Peiping, in North China. Early Peace Is Aim
A settlement before Jan. 1 is the present aim of the Japanese, a Chinese source close to the Japanese military headquarters there, reported. The informant claimed that Japan was keeping “a wary eye” on the United States, Great Britain, France and Soviet Russia, feeling that those powers were assisting

Seize French Rebels’
Explosives Factory
PARIS, Dec. 2 (U. P.).—Discovery of the first explosives factory operated by the Cagoulards, Rightist organization allegedly . plotting overthrow of the republic, was announced by police today. The factory was found in the Fontainebleau Forest. Hundreds of grenade cases, powder, detonators and fuses were seized. Arrest of technicians charged with fabrication of munitions was expected shortly. Meanwhile, police added to the | huge stores of munitions which have been uncovered since the discovery of the plot. Frightened members of the Rightist organization continued to unload arms and police have found a total of 2432 abandoned grenades along roadsides, The first find of 1472 grenades was made on the Ville Neuve St. Georges Road where a chlorine trench mortar also was found. More than 900 grenades were picked up at Ferrolle Attily. The explosives and grenades discovered in the Fontainebleau factory were of the same make as those seized in the original Cagoulard raids, police announced.
night's meeting by Director Don Stiver. “Good enforcement is like an equilateral triangle,” Mr. Stiver seid. “The police, prosecuting attorneys and courts represent the sides. All must do their part. Enforcement must be fair and impartial.”
U. S. Aid to Talk
The meeting which opened yesterday in the Claypool Hotel was to close at noon today following an address by Hugh Clegg, Washington, U. S. Justice Department assistant director. Governor Townsend was to urge closer co-operation of all law enforcement officials in his address today. Mr. Stevenson also asked prosecutors “not to overlook prosecution of criminals under the Habitual Criminal Act.’ The Attorney General’s office is advising prosecutors on the proper methods of drafting applications to the Governor for the requisition of criminals who are fugitives from justice in other states or foreign countries, he said. A detailed explanation of the new State safety laws which are designed to give officials complete records of Indiana motorists was given by Mr,

Ousted Prince And Actress Are Married
VIENNA, Austria, Dec. 2 (U. P). | —Prince Ernest Rudiger von Star-| hemberg, leader of the outlawed Fascist Heimwehr Guards, and Nora Gregor, popular actress of the] Bourg Theater, were married today. The semiprivate ceremony, performed before 20 invited guests, took place in a suburban church at historic Kahlenberg on a mountain | overlooking Vienna and the Danube | river. Miss Gregor, who became one of | Austria's foremost actresses largely through the influence of the | Prince before he was ousted as | Vice Chancellor by Chancellor Kurt | von Schuschnigg a year ago, wore | a gray fur coat over a gray dress | and a silver-colored hat.
PHYSICAL TESTS IN CANGER FIGHT ASKED
Women’s Field Army Lays Campaign Plans.
A campaign to have every woman | in Indiana take a physical exami- | nation annually is to be started next week by the Women's Field Army of the American Society for | the Control of Cancer. Campaign plans were launched | here today at a meeting of national | and state organization leaders in the Columbia Club. Dr. Frank Rector, Evanston, Ill, | field representative, said 75 per cent | of cancer deaths among women are] “absolutely unnecessary.” He said | 30,000 women die of cancer in the | United States yearly. | “The reason for the high death | rate is that most women don’t know | that they have the disease and | many are afraid to go and have an | examination. Others neglect to start early treatments.” Conferring with State leaders on campaign plans was Mrs. Marjorie B. Illig, national commander of the She met with Mrs. George R. Dillinger, French Lick, State commander, They announced they would work with the Indiana Medical Associa- | tion in getting information about cancer to women. The necessity of | regular examinations to enable] early treatment of the disease will be stressed in the campaign, they said.
PARK BOARD SPURNS SLEDDING PROPOSAL
Cites Legal Responsibility if Children Are Hurt.
The Park Board today “threw cold water rather than snow” on plans for extending the winter sports season in the city’s parks for children. Mrs. Louis Markun, Board member, suggested that the Street Department be asked to haul snow gathered from city streets and boulevard drifts to northern slopes of park hills. That, she said, would lengthen considerably the number of days for sledding Similar practices have been worked successfully in other cities, she said. Board President Jackiel W. Joseph said the Board would be legally responsible for any injury that might result to a child. “If we did that,” he said, “we would have to go a step further and supervise the sledding and our budget is hardly able to do that.” Mayor Boetcher said: “We might ! go the whole winter and have only a half inch of snow and we would have to go a long way to gather | enough snow to cover the hill sides.” | The average Indianapolis annual | snowfall is 22 inches. |

EVERYTHING IS BEAUTIFUL TO BOY GIVEN SIGHT
Delighted as He Sees Faces And Bicycle First Time In His 12 Years.
EL PASO, Tex. Dec. 2 (U. P).— Everything in the world was a curiosity today to Julian Galindo, who is 12 years old and never saw the light of day until surgeons removed | cateracts from his eyes yesterday. He found it all “beautiful.” The first things he saw when he opened his eyes at Southwestern General Hospital were faces, and the furniture of the room. But the window caught his attention and there he sprang. “Look, there's the car I came in. And there's a bicycle. I know it's a bicycle. And oh, there's a tree. It's beautiful.” He had no words to explain the lights and colors except “wonderful,” and he stood there several minutes | before the joy of it overcame him and he began to cry. His parents and the doctors could not restrain a few tears, either. The boy never had complained of the blindness, his parents said, because being born with that misfortune, he could not know his loss and for all he knew, the world was made up of words and noises, and things to feel, smell and taste. They hadn't encouraged him too much about the world that might some day be exposed to him, lest the operation fail. But he had most things pictured in his darkness, and he was correct about trees and cars and bicycles. The operation was performed a month ago and yesterday it was time to remove the bandages. Thick, dark glasses shielded his eyes when he opened them, until he could grow accustomed to the light.
| BOB BURNS | Says: OLLYWOOD,
never could understand why so many couples pick June as the month to get married in. I don't know whether the papers give weddings so much publicity because there's so many of ‘em in June or if it's because the papers give weddings so much publicity in June that people get married in that month. But any= how, I do know that along about this time of year, there's a general falling off of weddings. I don’t understand it, because wives are jest as handy to have around the house in the winter as they are in the summer. Jest the other day I heard my Aunt Dutty talkin’ and she said, “I declare, my husband would be absolutely helpless withe out me. On these long winter eve=nings, when he stays home to darn his sox, I don't see what in the world he would do if I wasn't there to thread the needle for him” (Copyright. 1937)
