Dr. Morgan told the Councilmen
that legislation that would curb the
soot nuisance adequately would be among the “most far-reaching ever passed” and would rank with an ordinance passed in 1916 to insure a safe milk supply and the ordinance providing for sewage disposal. Dr. Morgan cited the problems of smoke control offered by the use of soft coal and the topography of Indianapolis. “But if we keep at smoke and soot nuisance long enough, there will be an improvement in spite of these factors,” he said.

PLANE-MAKERS MAP EXPANSION
Years Reported Goal in Vast Building.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 23 (U. P)).
airplane manufacturing in America today privately drafting a report for
program.
of both airplanes and parts were
supremacy in five years. There was no official confirmation of the private meetings, which began here Monday. Today's meeting was the third conference of the week. But it was understood in informed quarters that a program is being prepared for reaching America’s goal of more than 12,000 first line fighting and bombing planes in three to five years.
Expansion Necessary
Such a program would involve vast expansion of the aircraft manufacturing industry. With present production facilities, it was understood, the air strength objective probably could not be reached for at least six or seven years. The United States at present has about 3500 first line planes, including both the Army and Navy air armadas. The cost of building the additional 8500 planes, it was indicated in military quarters, probably would not exceed 650 million dollars. It was pointed out, however, that the Government might be forced to make loans to private companies to increase production facilities. In addition to such expenditures large outlays would be necessary for increasing both Army and Navy air corps personnel, greatly augmenting ground forces, and expanding military and naval airport facilities. Spread over a period of three to five years, the entire air program might cost more than $1,500,000,000, informed sources hinted.
May Ask For Funds
It was reported President Roosevelt plans to ask the next Congress to make funds available immediately to launch the program next fall and to give private industry an opportunity this winter and summer to prepare for production. Under this program, it was understood, Army Air Corps strength is to be increased to 9300 planes and the Navy to at least 3000. The Army is scheduled to have 2320 planes by next July. Congress already has approved a policy of “no limitation” or the Navy's air strength, and the Navy expansion hill enacted last session fixed 3000 planes as the minimum, Airplane manufacturing company officials in Washington for the conferences included representatives of Douglas, Consolidated Aircraft, Cur-tis-Wright, United Aircraft. Aeronautical Corp. and others. - Their report may be presented to the War and Navy departments in the next fortnight for ‘submission to Mr. Roosevelt. -

Indiana Bell Concludes ts _ Evidence in State Rate Case.
today claimed before the Publie
valuation of $45,185,635 for its equipment used exclusively in ‘intrastate operation. The company yesterday concluded the presentation of evidence in its state-wide rate case, but may introduce other evidence on rebuttal, it was said. Petitions by several cities, including Indianapolis, originally were filed with the Commission seeking lowering of the rates. These cases were combined at the request of the company. The company presented evidence to show that the replacement cost for its intrastate equipment is $50, 218,005. 4 Working Cash Not Included These figures\do not include cash working capital or “going concern value.” The percentage of net earnings to the property valuation in 1937, according to the company’s figures, was 5.66 per cent, while for the first six months of 1938 the percentage was 557. It was brought out on cross-examination, however, that the company’s actual earnings for the first six months of this year have increased. Fotal intrastate revenue for 1937 was $12,079,482.58 while expenses were $9,394,510.62, leaving net earnings of $2,684,971.96.
Damages Subtracted
From these net earnings the company subtracted amortization to pay for sleet and windstorm damages, the rate case costs, and the southern Indiana flood. Net earnings then, less amortization, for 1937 were
The first six months of 1938 showed the following comparative figures: Revenue, $6,068,178.24; expenses, $4,739,237.57; net earnings, $1,328,940.67, and net earnings less amortization, $1,275,728.31. Figures for the Indianapolis exchange for 1937 were: Revenue, $4,847,871.65; expenuses, $3,666,382.43: net earnings, $1,184,489.22; net earnings less amortization, $1,158,889.93. Net earnings for the first six months of 1938 in the local exchange showed a slight increase over the total 1937 figure. Net earnings less amortization from January to July

Despite snow and freezing temperatures, Indianapolis - Automobile Show officials today predicted another record attendance at the 28th
annual show as sales from the floor continued to exceed those of a
year ago C. O. Warnock, president of the Indianapolis Auto Trade Association, said one dealer had reported that this is “the best year I ever had.” The City’s schoolchildren were to be guests at a special matinee program this afternoon. School authorities said no arrangements had
been made to excuse the children from school. The program is to include several acts by Mexican entertainers and the admission charge will be reduced if the children are accompanied by teachers or parents, officials said. : The Mexican fiesta motif, used throughout the show to set off the sleek, new models, has proved a distinct success, Mr. Warnock said. Winners of the candid camera contest, held the first. two days of the show, were announced last night and will receive prizes tonight. They are Theodore Roesch, 2049 N. Meridian St., who submitted a picture of Carmen Molina, Mexican dancer, first, and Herbert Johnson, 4174 Broadway, who submitted a picture of the Mariachi band, second, : Cash awards were presented to winners of the store window decorating contest, in which displays using the auto show theme were judged by show officials.

Green Reveals Opposition to Methods Involved.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 23 (U, P.).— President William Green of the American Federation of Labor told a Senate finance subcommittee today that the federation unalterably opposes use of Federal tax powers to promote profit-sharing systems.

Boardman Spalding, chairman of the taxation committee of the National Association of Manufacturers, announced that the N. A. M. executive committee yesterday adopted a reso-
’ [lution opposing any special tax in-
centive for regularized employment. He said the N. A. M. had as yet taken no position as to tax| incentives for profit-sharing.

ck DEATH | HELD MURDER
Blood-Soaked Soil Found Half Inch Beneath Body + Of Contractor.
MUNCIE, Nov. 23 (U. P)—A blood-soaked strata of soil a half inch beneath the ground where the body of Page Cunningham, 54-year-old building contractor, was found in a cornfield west of here, led police to advance the theory today that he had been murdered by robbers who took him to the lonely
pot. Police discounted suicide because a bullet lodged in the head had left a path slanting downward. If he had shot himself, they said, the bullet would have traveled upward or straight through the skull. The body, badly mutilated by hogs and decomposed, was found Sunday night by two hunters. Identification was made by a lower plate of false teeth, a battered hip bone and a fracture of the skull. Cunningham had been missing from his room at the home of Mrs. Victor Herrington since Aug. 16. He often carried large sums of money with him and police were working on the theory that robbery was the motive for the possible slaying.

BULLETIN CHICAGO, Nov. 23 (U. P.). —Directors of the Chicago Livestock Exchange today appealed to Secretary of Agriculture Wallace to use his influence with President Roosevelt and Secretary of Labor Perkins to end a strike which caused complete cessation of trading on the world’s largest livestock market.
CHICAGO, Nov. 23 (. P.) —The spokesman of the Chicago Livestock
Exchange—the 350 “middlemen” of the world’s largest livestock market —stepped out of an emergency meeting today and announced: “There will be no market today.” He was Charles R.

Today, Mr, Rice said, there were only a few animals remaining and the Exchange voted unanimously to suspend trading over the Thanksgiving holiday. He declined to forecast what action would be taken Friday. The American Federation of Labor handlers, meanwhile, were reported considering a proposal that they break the C. I. O. picket line and attempt to handle the market. Normally some 600 handlers are employed and the C.
