SMOKE BLAMED HOSPITAL BILLS

Patients Gasp for Oxygen as Smog Enters, League Told.

“One of the saddest sights at the hospital is the gasping of patients, struggling for oxygen ag the smog comes on,” Dr. John G. Benson, Methodist Hospital superintendent, told Smoke Abatement League members yesterday at a meeting at the Hotel Washington.

Dr. Herman G. Morgan, Health Board secretary and League president, called the meeting for directors and committee heads to report on work done. Meanwhile, in another meeting, the newly formed Railroad Smoke Control Board, composed of Indiana Railroad executives, adopted a resolution, pledging ° “wholehearted support of the city administration in smoke abatement.” “Every effort will be made by its members to reduce the smoke nuisance from locomotive and : railroad shops,” the resolution stated.

One Cofincilman Present

Invitations to attend the Smoke League meeting had been issued to City Councilmen but Mrs. Nannette Dowd was the only Council member present. “If the Council won’t come to our meeting, let’s go to them,” Roy O. Johnson, league attorney and secretary, suggested.

He asked Mrs. Dowd to be their spokesman and called upon League members to explain to Councilmen a proposed ordinance which seeks to legalize instruments for the detection of smoke densities and regulate the smoke of locomotives.

“I feel you have gone a long way

came here to become informed and have nothing else to say.”

Benson Makes Plea

Dr. Benson said: “I wish we could capture the imagination of the people with this self-imposed, silly menace of smoke. No one is so tough with the dollar that he wouldn't change if he saw the patients at the hospital pleading for air.” He said that the patient’s average stay in the hospital is eight days in

the suminer, but that this increases two to three days when the smog

| appears.

“This imposes on the citizens an added cost of about $300,000 a year at the hospitals,” he added. “The most economical thing the Council or any one can do is to stop th smoke.” | J. A. Dawson, speakers’ bureau chairman and Indianapolis Apart-

aid: “The fatality from smoke is far greater than all other saccidents— yet this campaign is dependent on the small group of people here today. Urges Education

“The City should shoulder the burden. Because we pay taxes for police protection and fire protection, why are we not entitled to the protection of our property?” He added that he thought sinc soft coal was the cause of most of the trouble, “the campaign should be devoted to teaching people how to burn soft coal and co-operate in urging them to install stokers. Then if they don’t, let’ the law take its course.” Dr. Morgan, who presided, said: “Economically and commercially no one will be hurt. This problem will be solved and I hope not in the remote future. Give us the law and we will reduce the pneumonia death rate 20 per cent.” | Mrs. L. F. Jones, of the education committee, declared that 50 per cent of the smoke came from private homes. “Therefore, we Have organized classes for them if they want to attend. These classes Will

ENFORCING OF

Attorney General Agrees to Postponement Pending Court Decision.

Attorney General Omer 8. Jacke son today had agreed to delay until Feb. 1 enforcement of a State law that all trucks be equipped with electric signal devices, pending disposition of a constitutionality test.

The agreement was reached fole lowing a conference with truckers’ representatives and Superior Judge Joseph Williams, in whose court the suit was filed. Judge Williams said he will hold a

ary. The law had been schede uled to go into effect Jan. 1. The truckers charge that the 1937 law setting up the State Safety Committee is unconstitutional because it delegates legislative power to the committee without defining the terms under which it could be exercised. They said the devices cost about $25 each and would be a burden on the companies | Judge Williams had indicated that, if an agreement were not reached, he would issue a temporary injunction against the State.
