PUSH PROJECT

Mayor, Steeg Go to Chicago

Tonight for ‘Final Gonference.’

ayor Boetcher and Henry B.

te , City engineer, were to leave|

cago’ tonight for what was

sted to be a “determining con-|

frence” with Indianapolis Union ailway officials on the proposed 8Re-million-dollar South Side track

‘dpon following two star-chambver géssions held by the Mayor with the Works Board yesterday.” The final ‘session was attended by Congressman Louis Ludlow. Yesterday’s meeting marked an ‘éhd to the “routine plans” hitherto followed by Administration officials - an attempt to obtain the rail‘3 ypad’s decision on’ elevation. f “I'm determined,” the PY &hid, “to see that every possible : 2 is taken to get elevation of the

Mayor

uth Side tracks for this City.” “Neither Congressman Ludlow nor the Mayor would reveal what would ‘be discussed at the Chicago confer-

" Twe Subjects Possible

“mat this time,” the Mayor said, “I _am not in a position to say what the . ziature of the session will be, but Twill say that we are determined ~ gée this elevation thing through to 1 finish. : ~#<If there is any possible chance of getting it, we are not going to ~ oyerlook it.” “$The subject of the conference

sduld deal only with construction |

: ns or finance, or possibly both. At present, the railroad has be{gre it two methods of financing its sBare of the elevation. These plana

. Were submitted by the City. One

ig for an outright payment by the ~ railroad, which it previously turned

down. Tre other ‘provides for a token

= payment by the railroad, the rest to

bé loaned to the railroad by the © City, and to be repaid over a 10‘yéar period. aT “Construction plans, which have been discussed between Mr. Steeg and railroad engineers for the last month, have produced several snags.

: Grade Remains Problem

“Chief of these was a determination ‘of the grade: of elevation of the tracks. The City’s proposed plans failed to provide for the cor- . réct grade required by the Pennsylvania Railroad freight trains which use the Belt tracks at a point included in the elevation plan. “It was believed that the forthcoming conference would include a review of all the present plans, with possible revisions or compromises. + Mayor Boetcher said he expected a final decision on the “entire question” within 10 days, and “very possibly sooner.”

|. According to an agreement be-|. "tween the City and PWA, which is

to pay 45 per cent of the total cost

Eo of elevation, construction work must

be started by Dec. 7 or the grant will not become effective. :

‘WEAK WILL INHERIT U.S. SAYS WIGGAM

Author Predicts Decline in Edugation and Marriage.

Albert Edward Wiggam, whose “Let’s Explore Your Mind” appears daily in The Indianapolis Times, came here yesterday to see BobbsMerrill Co. officials and to expound a deeply pessimistic. theory of the future of the United States.

“The weak and mentally deficient soon will inherit the country,” said Dr. Wiggam, a native Hoosier. “College and high school graduates are a vanishing race. The future population of the country will be people who have not gone beyond the eighth grade. ye “By 1950 there will be 80,000 fewer marriages a year than now and the population of the United States will never be more than 150 million.”

~ Dr. Wiggam said the reason for

this gloomy forecast is that the well-educated, - superior class of Americans isn’t * having enough children.

11939 ‘Budget Will Call for

Funds for hiring clerks in State Prisons instead of using: convict

John H. Klinger, division director said today. The budget is to be submitted to the Legislature for approval at the January session. - CE Classification. committees have been set up in the three prisons for men in Indiana. to improve the parole system, Mr. Klinger said. These committees, charged with investigating the records of all in-

|mates, cannot, for obvious reaso:is,

use inmates as clerks, he explained. A project to supply 22 helpers in the prison offices has been approved by WPA and is to start in January. “It is our hope to get legislative approval of funds to hire permanent clerks before the WPA project ends,” Mr. Klinger said. “The State has never seen fit to provide clerical help for a great deal of the recording done at the prisons. It is poor economy to depend on convicts to do the work.” E The classification committee plan was introduced first at the State Reformatory at Pendleton, about two years ago. The duty of the committee is to study the Reformatory inmates in an effort to assist in providing appropriate treatment for each prisoner and developing
