WILLKIE HAILS HIGH STANDARDS OF U.S. LIVING

Attributes It to Free Trade, Mass Production; Bryan Introduces Wells.

The United States has the highest standard of living because of its democratic form of government, large free trade area and an efficient system of mass production, Wendell I. Willkie said last night

at an Indiana University Alumni Founders’ Day banquet at the Claypool Hotel. Mr. Willkie, monwealth and Southern Corp, urged the university to train Students to meet the responsibilities required by mass production and monopolistic business. A highlight of the banquet, marking the university's 118th anniversary, was the presentation by William Lowe Bryan, president emeritus, of his successor, Dr. Herman B. Wells. Government must be separated fro mbusiness if the nation’s standard of living is to be maintained, Mr. Willkie said. Dr. Wells revealed plans of the university to fill vacancies caused by retirement of the physics, journalism and mathematics department heads.

and pointed out that this conviction later was upheld by the Indiana Supreme Court. Recently the U. S. Supreme Court refused to review the case. Hicks, who now is in the Michi- | gan City State Prisno death house, was one of four men convicted of slaving Harry R. Miller. The other three, William Kuhlman, John Poholsky and Frank Gore Williams, were electrocuted last fall. The Governor's aids reported that the petition was denied in view of the action of the U. 8S. Supreme | Court in refusing to further con- | tinue the case. Jacob and Effie Hicks. parents of | the condemned man, requested at- | torneys to file the petition.

‘Adams Co. Worker Declare Natex Is Priceless to Him Since It Brought Such Grand Relief From His Ailments.

Every day more and more local people are coming to Haag's Claypool Hotel Drug Store, Illinois and Washington Sts, to see the Natex representative and learn more about the full-strength compound that is doing so much good in this seetion Seems as if most everyone will soon be taking it—and no wonder, since it so often brings relief like that obtained by Mr. N.

KIN AWAIT WORD OF MISSING GIRL PUPIL

Fearing she may have met with misfortune, relatives of Georgie Niedert, attractive 14-year-old Shortridge High School sophomore who disappeared Monday, today awaited word from police. Her aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Hudler, 3541 N. Meridian St, with whom she had been living as Georgie Hudler since the divorce of her parents, believed she may have started for Los Angeles where her mother lives.

They were told the girl started out for the West with a companion Monday but that her friend turned back at Ben Davis when Georgie said “this would be a good time to run away.” The missing girl wore riding breeches and boots and a green louse, She is blond, blue-eved, plump, about five feet four inches tall and weighs about 125 pounds.

LARGER RURAL ELECTRIC FUND

Tells Congressmen 10 State

Projects Need More Cash For Completion.

Governor Townsend has written the Indiana Congressional delegation, suggesting that additional funds be allocated for rural electrification, his office announced today. The Governor pointed out that there were 10 rural electrifications in Indiana which had received only partial allotments and had been unable to complete construction. There are seven projects to which no grants ahve been made yet. Governor Townsend's letter in part: “Several farm leaders have suggested to me that the earmarking of funds for rural electrification not only would provide construction jobs and a market for electrical equipment, wiring ana appliances, but would enable us to complete our program. “They

said

suggested the possibility

that additional money for this State and other states could be earmarked

to be loaned to the Rural Electrification qualified to accept such funds.”

Total Received by REMC Now $5,790,926

nounced today. Half of the 20 counties receiving this aid have completed systems and the remaining 10 are to be com-

pleted within the next few months. It is estimated that when the project is completed 18,000 rural establishments will receive electric service over approximately 5500 miles of lines. “No further funds will be available for electrification until the Appropriation Bill has been passed by Congress, and even then no loans can actually be made before July 1,” Mr. Hauser said. The Rural Electrification Administration has advised that certain preallotment requirements are necessary before proposed projects may receive allotments. These include pre-engineering work, membership survey and the procuring of blanket easements from members of the local co-operative,
