NO ACTION ON GAMBLING

The Rev. Mr. Robbins Scores Amusements That ‘Desecrate Sabbath.’

Co-ordination of church, school and governmental activities in the “character-building of youth” was suggested to Mayor Boetcher today in a resolution passed by the Indianapolis Methodist Ministers’ Association, The ministers, meeting at Roberts Park M. E, Church, who twice have requested Governor Townsend to halt gambling in Marion County and in the state, deferred further protests on that matter. The group authorized naming of a committee to report on policy re- | garding Sunday entertainment, as provided in a resolution introduced by the Rev. M. O. Robbins, Edgewood M. E. Church pastor.

Hits “Desecration of Sabbath”

Referring to efforts of the Methodist ministers and the Gen- | eral Ministerial Association of In- | dianapolis in closing scheduled performances of two circuses on Easter and Mother's Day, the Rev. Robbins protested against any entertainment which “desecrated the Sabbath.” Committee members named by Dr. Richard M. Millard, Broadway | M. E. Church pastor and association president, were the Rev. Mr. Robbins, the Rev. Alfred H. Backus, director of religious education for the Indianapolis area, and the Rev. E. Arnold Clegg, Capitol Avenue M. E. Church pastor. Dr. Guy O. Carpenter, Central Avenue M. E. Church pastor, in his resolution for the co-ordination of activities in the “character building of youth,” authorized the associa= tion's president and secretary to urge Mayor Boetcher to call a meeting to guide youth in “moral standards.”

Gambling Protest Tabled

It was suggested to the Mayor that he invite two representatives each from the Catholic, Jewish and Protestant religious leadership, Indianapolis Public Schools and the Police Department or Safety Board. Another protest against gambling, introduced by the Rev. E. J. Weiss, New Jersey St. M. E. pastor, was tabled until the next meeting, two weeks from today. Annual conference of the Indian | apolis district, Methodist Episcopal | Church, is to be held June 1. Time | and place are to be announced | later.

‘Roosevelt Gets Report

On Legislative Status

WASHINGTON, May 9 (U. P). —President Roosevelt today re= examined America’s neutrality policy with his Congressional lieutenants and Secretary of State Cor= dell Hull. The President met with House and Senate leaders at the White House shortly after arrival from his vacation cruise. The Congressional leaders presented to the President a summary of the legislative situation affecting neutrality as well as the status of the wage-hour, tax and general recovery programs. Secretary Hull was prepared to submit a detailed report on the operation of the neutrality policy with special view to the Spanish and Sino-Japanese situations. House Majority Leader Sam Rayburn, emphasizing he was giving only his personal view, opposed any reopening of the neutrality issue at this session of Congress. The influence of the President in Washington was reflected both in House and Senate by increased activity, resulting in quick adoption of the conference report on the tax bill in the Senate and in a House move to speed Wage-Hour Bill consideration.

Roosevelt Asks

Recovery Bill Speed

WASHINGTON, May 9 (U. P).— President Roosevelt today asked his legislative leaders to speed action on appropriations tor the new recovery drive but at the same time he assured them he would have no objection to provisions which would make fund allocations directly to executive agencies. While House Republicans planned a caucus to organize their campaign to decentralize control of recovery moves, Mr. Roosevelt indicated no opposition to plans to route the new money around his office. Under projected plans, new allo= cations would go directly to such agencies as the WPA and PWA. Previous recovery allocations have given the money to the President for reallocation to the agencies with a ceiling on the amount he might assign to any specific bureau. The Republicans will meet after the regular session of the House and on the eve of a formal report by the Appropriations Committee tomorrow on a deficiency appropriation bill that will complete the recommended $4,512,000,000 lending-spending program. House debate on it is scheduled to begin immediately upon receipt of the report. As committee experts worked on technical details of the final draft it was learned that the bill will appropriate a total of approximately $2,600,000.000. The two chief items

are a $1,250,000,000 fund to keep the | work relief program going until Feb. | 1939, and a $1.000,000,000 grant- |

i, and-loan total to continue the Public Works Administration. Not in-

cluded in this is an authorization

continuing the $500,000,000 PWA revolving fund. Rep. Snell said that the purpose of the Republican meeting was chiefly to explain the program to members in preparation for tomorrow’s debate. He said that there probably would be no formal action. but added that decentraiization of relief has long been a Republican policy and that he expected the minority to be solidly behind it.

Reorganization Bill

‘Again Considered

By HERBERT LITTLE Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, May 9.—The Administration, it was learned today, is seriously considering an effort to revive and pass part of the Government Reorganization Bili. The first procedure under consideration is for Senator Byrnes (D. S. C.) to bring out of his special Reorganization Committee the two |bills in this field that the House | passed last summer, | One of these bills would give the | President six $10,000-year assistants. The other would create a Welfare Department and give the President {limited power to reshuffle executive | agencies. | This program omits the contro- | versial proposals to abolish the | Controller-General’'s office and to [create a new one-man civil=service (setup, which were included in the omnibus bill passed by the Senate but killed by the House.

Administration leaders believe the President's prestige is in the ascendancy because of the success of the movement to override the House Rules Committee's veto of the Norton Wage-Hour Bill. The triumph of New Deal Senator Pepper in the Florida primary is also

votes to pass the measure. Time May Decide

President Roosevelt's wishes will decide whether the issue is to be brought up again. Clearing the decks, House and Senate leaders have already jettisoned several of the President's projects — bank holding-company legislation, the plan to end tax immunity of state and Federal securities and salaries, the “little TVA" pill, and the bill to take the profits out of war. All these have gone over until the next Congress. If the Administration does pive the “go-ahead” signal on reorganization, another possible method could be followed. The House vote against the bill sent the Senate’s omnibus measure back to the special House Reorganization Committee, This committee could report the bill back to the House with a few changes if it desired. This committee's bills have privileged status, so action by the conservative-domine ated Rules Committee would not

Council. The measure, according to the Chief, would prohibit canvassing except by those persons who have been issued police permits, for which no charge is made. But a prerequisite for the permit would be the taking of applicants’ fingerprints, he said. One set would be filed with the local police; another set with the Federal Bureau of Investigation at Washington, enabling a quick check of the applicants’ criminal record, if any. At present, canvassers may receive permits through the City Controller’s office without any investigation beforehand. “We have known for a long time that some action is needed along these lines,” Chief Morrissey said, “but we have delayed the recommendation pending an investigation of new laws on the subject passed in other cities throughout the country.”

Would Ask Aid of Public

A total of 183 permits have been issued in that city since February 17, according to information received by the chief. Of that number, 26 were found to have criminal records, which were serious enough in 14 cases to warrant refusal of a permit. Four applicants were found on police “wanted” lists.

CLEVELAND, May 9 (U. P).— Seventy-five thousand Cleveland residents faced bare cupboards today as two groups met to attempt solution of the latest relief crisis in this city of a million. Mayor Harold H. Burton called his cabinet members and City Council members into session to canvass possibilities of meeting the emergency out of the general fund. A “committee of nine” named by the mayor, was to meet later to recommend emergency action by City Council, meeting tonight. Mr. Burton hoped that such action might be taken without drastic cuts in city payrolls o* services, both threatened as possibilities,

Four Guards at Madison Hospital Bound Over To Circuit Court. MADISON, Ind, May 9 (U, P.) — Four guards at the State Insane

Hospital here today were bound over to the Jefferson Circuit Court on

the sender of a threatening letter | manslaughter charges in connection

with the death of Everett Devault,

47, a patient. Justice of the Peace William Hefley set their bond at $2000 each following a preliminary hearing. Their case was expected to come up in the Circuit Court later this month. Eliza H. Demaree, 46, North Madison, made bond and was released. The other three guards, Byron Craig, 28, Madison; Oscar Hook, 49, Vernon, and Everett Zehr, 31, Marengo, were returned to jail. Hefley bound the men over to Circuit Court after hearing testimony from all persons who conducted the inquest into Devault's death and from witnesses of the fatal fight yesterday. None of the four defendants was called to testify nor did they enter a pleading. They will plead at their preliminary hearing in Circuit Court, it was said. Clifford Field, representative of the State Welfare Department, testified that Devault was a large man, known to be given to violence, Mr. Field told Judge Hefley that Hook, superintendent of the hospital industrial shop, was taking Mr. Devault and four other patients to the shop. Mr. Devault lagged behind and Hook went back to bring him up with the others. Mr, Devault then became incorrigible, Mr. Field said he learned, and started to fight with Hook. Demaree and a patient named J, KH. Coleman, who were nearby, ran to Hook's aid and succeeded in taking him inside the shop.

Calls More Guards

They proceeded up nine steps to a landing on the stairway when Mr, Devault again became violent, Mr. Field said. He knocked Mr. Demaree down the steps and fought again with Hook. Mr .Demaree summoned other guards who attempted to subdue Mr. Devault and all five men went down in a heap on the landing, Mr. Field said. Mr, Devault Jost consciousness and died Saturday evening 15 minutes after the fight on the landing occurred. An autopsy revealed that he had 10 ribs broken, several of which had punctured his lungs, and other internal injuries. Mr. Field asserted that he was uncertain whether Mr. Devault's injuries were received in the fall on the landing with the guards on top of him or whether he was fatally beaten.

CONDEMNATION OF PROPERTY ORDERED

Monday Set for Acquiring East St. Right-of-Way.

Condemnation proceedings on the property needed for the proposed widening and paving of S. East St. from South St. to Sanders St., are to be started next Monday, Mayor Boetcher said today. The Works Board today set Saturday noon as the deadline for the acquisition of options on the property. Robert P, Moorman, Fidelity Trust Co. real estate representative, who is obtaining the options on the effected property for the City, reported that several of the residents have asked that their houses be moved back to proposed new property lines. The moving costs would exceed the value of the houses in many cases, Mr. Moorman told the Board. The Board at the same meeting ordered Street Commissioner Fred K. Eisenhut to oil all unimproved streets leading to the Speedway in anticipation of heavy traffic on Memorial Day when the 500-mile race is held. The Board also ordered City Engineer Henry B. Steeg to investigate the possibility of getting funds to repair faulty sewer connections at street intersections.

Chairman Bobbitt Says He Will Name Committees of Judges, Physicians.

State Republican Chairman Arch N. Bobbitt today said he would name two committees to make recommendations to an advisory platform committee concerning conditions at Indiana penal and benevolent institutions. | He said that this action was the | result of the death yesterday of a patient at the Madison State Hospital for the Insane, the arrest of four employees and recent escapes at the State Prison. Judge James A. Emmert of Shelby Circuit Court is to head one committee composed of judges, Mr, Bobbitt said. Judge Emmert is to appoint the two other members, he explained. Dr. James B. Stalker. Indianapolis, was named head of a similar committee of physicians, with authority to name the two other members. “If reports concerning the death of Everett Devault, 47, of Loogootee, a patient al the Madison Hospital, are correct, it was a brutal affair,” Mr. Bobbitt said.

“Too Much Politics”

“Politics has entered too much into the appointment of employees for all such institutions. Every employee who has the care of patients at Indiana benevolent institutions should be trained and should be selected upon the basis of his or her training rather than upon political affiliations. “This is the second incident that has occurred within the last few days at State institutions. The first was the escape of four prisoners from the Indiana tSate Prison at Michigan City—the last of a long series of prison breaks, indicating that the State penal institutions, too, need investigation. “The state platforms of both parties, I think, have failed to give proper consideration to conditions in these institutions. I believe that the recommendations should be made by experts—men who understand the needs. “Judges all over Indiana are complaining of the inability to get patients into the various State benevolent institutions. It seems to me that while huge quantities of Federal funds were being spent in ‘made work’ projects all over the state, some of it might have been devoted to increasing the capacity of benevolent institutions rather than to ‘made work,’ the effects of which vanish almost as soon as it is completed.”

Sends Inspector

State Welfare Director Thurman A. Gottschalk sent Clifford Fields, chief inspector of the Welfare Department, to Madison yesterday to make an investigation. He said that the action to be taken would be based on the inspector’s report. Governor Townsend said that he expected to receive a report on the incident later today. “I'm not particularly alarmed about the situation at that hospital,” the Governor said. “It seems possible to me that one man might abuse an inmate. But I don’t believe three or four would. Apparently what happened was that the guards there accidentally injured the inmate in handling him.” Alfred Dowd, newly appointed warden of the State Prison at Michigan City is to begin his duties May 15 with the understanding that he will have “broad powers and equally broad responsibilities,” Governor Townsend said.

‘Good Man in Wrong Post’

The Governor characterized the recent escape of four felons from the institution as “inexcusable,” and said that hereafter no freight cars will be moved from the prison yard until all the men are in their cell blocks. The four in the latest escape rode out in a box car. The Governor said he was not surprised at the resignation of Warden Louis E. Kunkel and said, “he was a good man who was just in the wrong position.” The patronge policy at the institution will remain the same, the Governor said. He pointed out that Mr. Kunkel's recommendations on hiring and discharge of guards always had been given consideration during his administration, and that the same policy would be followed with Mr. Do

10 Hurt Here Over Week- | End; Man Injured Year Ago Dies Here.

Three persons were killed in Indiana traffic outside Marion County over the week-end and a fourth died in Long Hospital as the result of a Brown County crash more

than a year ago. Ten persons were injured in 17 accidents here and 88 drivers were arrested on traffic charges. Fifty-two were arraigned in Municipal Court today and 31 were convicted and assessed fines amounting to $201, with $125 suspended. Fifteen were fined $95 for speeding and 15 were fined $67 for violating

preferential streets. The dead were: Miss Lillian Wortman, 45, who died as a result of a crash Thursday near Lafayette in which a man was killed instantly; William Bayliss, 16, who died Saturday of injuries received in an accident near Greensburg Friday, and Mrs. Edythe Davidson, 30, killed near Auburn when her car skidded and struck a utility pole. Ishmael Brown, 24, Helmsburg, died at Long Hospital as the result of injuries received when the truck he was driving overturned in Brown County more than a year ago. He has been a patient at Methodist Hospital several months and six weeks ago was admitted at Long Hospital. Among the 10 injured here were Herman Rost, 81. and his wife, Mary, 79, both of Columbus. They were riding in a car driven by their son, Carol Rost, 51, also of Columbus. Their machine collided with a car driven by Rolla Sims, 45, of Rural Route 6, Greenfield, at Hanna Ave. and S. Meridian St, Mr. Rost's parents were taken to Methodist Hospital. His mother received a back injury and his father suffered face lacerations. Mr. Sims, who was unable to give any version of the accident, received cuts and bruises and was knocked unconscious for several minutes by the

impact. Harry Green, 29, of 614 N. East St., received body bruises when the truck he was driving was struck by a streetcar at Kentucky Ave. and Morris St. Ray Strattan, 11, of 533 Highland Ave. received a broken left leg when hurled from his bicycle as it was struck by a machine driven by Mrs. Estelle Shaffer, 38, of 5556 N.

A spokesman for the baby's family said the operation was completed in “10 or 15 minutes.” The medical jury, appointed to relieve Helaine's parents of the ree sponsibility of making the decision,

{reached its verdict after conferring

an hour and 15 minutes in a smokefilled room on the second floor of the Midwest Athletic Club. They adjourned immediately to nearby Garfield Hospital where the operation was performed. Samuel Hoffman, attorney repre senting the family, announced that the decision had been concurred in by two rabbis who, at the mother’s insistence, were present to offer spiritual guidance. Mr, Hoffman said that when the raising of right hands was called to approve the operation he believed he saw Helaine's father, Dr. Herman Colan, raise his right hand. Dr, Colan, 30, a dentist, and his 23-year-old wife, Estelle, had agreed that the specialists’ decision would be final and neither had a vote in the matter,

Right Eye Impaired

Medical men said the operation might save the child's life, but that she probably would be blind for life, The jury's other choice was to ale low “nature to take its course’—a procedure which would have ree sulted in certain death for Helaine when the growth, retinal glioma, struck the brain, The malignant growth already has destroyed the sight-giving tise sues of the left eye and impaired the right eye, Mr. Hoffman said the left eye and the nerve from the eye would be dissected after their removal and that a specimen would be given to Dr. Edward V, L. Brown of Billings Memorial Hospital, Dr. Brown, with a committee of eight doctors, then will determine whether it would be feasible to give the right eye supervoltage X-ray treatments or whether it, Loo, should be removed. There was a difference of opinion during the deliberations as to whether an attempt should be made to save Helaine's right eye, Mu. Hoffman said.

‘My Baby Must Live’

The distraught mother was not present at the conference at which her baby's fate was decided. “Please do something to save my baby,” she told the medical jury through a spokesman. “My baby must live. I'll gladly give up my eyes so she can see.” Mrs, Colan, who had debated with her husband and parents on what should be done with Helaine, was reported “very sick” and constantly under a physician's care. Also at the conference besides her husband and Mr. Hoffman were her parents, Dr. and Mrs. Morris L, Hershman, her brothers, Seymour and Victor Hershman, and Rabbis A. E. Abramowitz and Saul Silbert, president of the Chicago Hebrew Theological College. It was Dr. Hershman, an obstetrie cian, who first discovered that his granddaughter was suffering from a malignant growth on the eyes. He presented details of the case at the conference and Dr. Colan related his family history.

Consulted Specialists

“Three weeks ago,” Dr. Colan said “we noticed an unusual condie tion of my baby's eyes. We cone sulted a prominent eye specialist who diagnosed it as glioma of the eye, He advised immediatel removal of one eye and X-ray treatments for the other. We saw other eye specialists, some of whom agreed and some of whom did not. We de« cided to call a jury of medical spee cialists which met today and dee cided on removal of the left eye and that a committee of doctors should determine what further treatment there would be. “This committee also discussed the need for examining the eyes of all children before they leave the hospitals. We hope this will help eliminate suffering to other children. My wife and I are very grate= ful for the interest people have taken. We have undergone untold suffering during these last three weeks. We hope our baby will be able to see if we can save her other eye.” Before the medical jury began its deliberations in the small room, they took X-Rays of the baby to guide them in their discussions of the case, :
