CHICAGO, Jan. 17 UU. PJ) -—l 13 300- 1500) Continued drought in the Argentine A1oe: 1130) has prompted an unofficial esti- | {100-1100 mate of the corn crop there at be- | tween 197,000,000 and 236,000,000 bushels, a report from Washington

informed the grain trade. Advices to the Department of Agriculture pointed out this would compare unfavorably with 359,615,000 bushels last year. The reports from Buenos Aires advised that recent rains in the Argentine have been insufficient to relieve the prevailing drought conditions materially and report that southern and western crops are irreparably damaged. Further rains, | however, may insure fair to good | yields in the central regions.

INDUSTRIALISTS URGED TO SPEED FACTORY CENSUS

Schedules to Be Mailed to Indianapolis Area Jan. 25.

Times Special WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.—Prompt co-operation of manufacturers in the Indianapolis industrial area in the taking of the biennial census of manufacturers was urged today by Director William L. Austin of the

Commerce. Schedules for the census, which covers activities during the calendar year 1937, will be mailed Jan. 25 to all manufacturing establishments making products valued at

The Indianapolis area is coextensive with Marion County, Mr. Austin pointed out. Within this area 736 manufacturing and printing and publishing establishments were in operation in 1935, according to the last census report. These establishments gave employment during that year to 36,828 workers, who received $39,492,726 in wages. Indianapolis manufactures in 1931 were valued at $238,387,664. “The Census Bureau seeks to make reports of the new canvass more timely, Mr. Austin said. “The division of manufactures has been reorganized and strengthened toward this end. Co-operation of manufacturers in returning schedules promptly is necessary, however, if this goal is to be attained.”

INGREASE SHOWN IN PARALYSIS GASES

Appeal Renewed for Sale of Dance Tickets.

Infantile paralysis cases treated in 1937 at Riley and City hospitals increased substantially over 1936, it

was reported today by the President's Birthday Ball Committee. At Riley, the year’s 205 new cases represented an increase of approximately 105 per cent, while at City a gain of 167 per cent in acute cases was reported. The committee emphasized the urgent need for funds to fight the disease. Six halls are to be held in Indianapolis Jan. 29. Seventy per cent of the proceeds are to go to the two hospitals. Last year's donation to the instituions totaled $3621.14. Tickets are being sold by more than 20,000 local people, it was said. Governor Townsend, Mayor Boetcher and other officials are sponsoring the drive.

COURT TAKES CHILD AS PARENTS BATTLE

Detroit Bench to Decide

Which Gets Custody.

While the parents fought for custoday of 4-year-old Roxanne Harris in a Detroit divorce court, the child was taken from them today as a ward of the Juvenile Detention Home. Under a ruling made Saturday by Juvenile Court Judge John F.

Geckler, who found the father, Harry Harris, guilty of neglect, custody

"is to be decided by the out-of-state

court. The mother, Helen Harris, comely cigaret girl in a Detroit hotel, testified she earned from $30 to $80 a week in tips and supported the child without any financial aid from her husband. Mrs. Harris charged she had been forced to support her husband since their marriage. Mr. Harris claimed he had been unable to find steady employment and that when he worked he contributed to the child's support. Mr. Harris, according to the wife, took the child from her Detroit apartment a month ago and brought it to Indianapolis where she had been unable to see her. She pleaded vainly that Judge GecKkler return the child to her until the Divorce Court decided permanent custody.

COUNCIL MAY DELAY THUMBPRINT ACTION

City Council is expected to defer action tonight on a proposed ordinance which would require all persons selling goods to secondhand stores to be a thumb-printed. Action on the measure probably will be delayed pending the outcome of a suit filed in Circuit Court Saturday by the Chicago Jewelry Co. contesting the constitutionality of a similar ordinance passed several weeks ago for pawn shops. Council also is expected to introduce a resolution empowering the Mayor to name an investigating committee to look into the provisions of the Wagner Housing Act before acting on a resolution cresling a Housing Authority for the Y.

GAVIT STUDIES NEW RULES OF SUPREME COURT

Judicial Council to Hear Report and Advise On Changes.

Dean Bernard Gavit of the Indie ana University Law School today was completing an annotation of the new U. S. Supreme Court rules of procedure, which go into effect at the end of the present session of Congress. He will report his findings to the spring meeting of the Indiana Judicial Council of which he is secre= tary. His work between now and then will be mostly on Appellate Court procedure. The council then will recommend to the Indiana Supreme Court what changes, if any, should be made in State court procedure to conform with Federal Court. Indiana Supreme Court Judgs Curtis W. Roll said that other states also are studying the new rules with a view to making state and Federal Court procedure as nearly the same as possible. “There is a general trend toward doing away with the differences and setting up uniform procedure for state and Federal Courts which up to now have been widely different and have caused lawyers to learn two separate procedures,” Judge Roll said.

Gilkey, head of the University of Chicago Chapel, who returned today follow= ing a religious convocation at Purdue University, The absence of a purpose in life which man is eager to fill with ra« cial or class supremacy or a totalitarian state or any other current dogmas causes those angry reefs, Lean Gilkey said. “We are approaching a form of collectivism that we cannot see and class, group, racial and national pride have replaced individual pride and arrogance,” he said. “Man should depend on the relationship to God, who keeps his compass true.” The present attitude of national= itm, the dean said, is that “if you don’t have the right blood in your veins you had beeter get out quick and God help you.”

Organization,

Peace also was urged by Matthew Woll, vice president of the A. F. of L., who told 3000 members of the photoengravers’ union yesterday that continuation of the conflict would discredit labor. “Unless labor is reunited quickly to resist the encroachments of its enemies,” Mr. Zaritsky declared in an editorial in the Hat Worker, official union organ, “we can foresee that restrictive legislation will be passed against it.

If ever there was cause for it, it has now become tragically For the sake of the immediate as well as the ultimate interests of the workers, labor's war must end.” Mr. Zaritsky asserted that the A. F, of L. had conceded the vital points demanded by the C. I. O. during peace negotiations in Washington, and therefore there was no justification for continuation of the “devastating war.”
