(Another Story, Page Four) ——

- Eleven dollar fines for persons who ignore $2 parking stickers were promised today by Municipal Court Judge John McNelis.

Meanwhile, the police offensive against red light crashers was reflected in Traffic Court where 53 persons were fined $161. Heaviest fines were levied against violators of traffic signals. A total of $398 in fines was suspended. Forty-seven persons out of 278} arrested for all types of violations in the last three days were charged with crashing red lights as the campaign to clear Indianapolis streets of reckless drivers continued. Effect of the campaign was being shown in accident reports, police said, as only seven persons were listed as injured, none seriously, in 11 crashes during the last 24 hours.

97 in 24 Hours

Police arrested 77 traffic ordinance violators yesterday and last night, bringing the total to 278 for the last 72 hours, it was announced. In addition to warring on the light crashers, police arrested 12 others on charges of running through preferential streets, seven as speeders, three as reckless drivers and 38 for other alleged. Viole tions. Judge McNelis said: “Persons who do not voluntarily pay parking stickers and have to be brought into Cour? will be heavily fined. The Court is crowded with more important things and the City Prosecutor's office has too many of these affidavits to make out. From now on such persons will-be fined from $1 and costs up, with suspension of no part of the fine. “The public should co-operate ah the City by paying their parkfines when they are obviously oe Rg 2 "Three people were slightly injured at noon when a mother, on her way to the side of her son who had been hurt at school, drove her car into the side of another at High School Road and Morris St., according to police.

DIVA GRILLED IN SMUGGLING QUIZ

French Actress Subpenaed; Burns Goes Home After Pleading Guilty.

' NEW YORK, Dec, 13 (U. P.)— Federal authorities today questioned Colette D’Arville, French actress. and operatic star, in connection with the smuggling investigation which already has trapped three persons, including George

Burns, film ana radio comedian. Miss D’Arville appeared in the office of Joseph L. Delaney, assistant U. S. attorney, in response to a subpena while Albert N. Chaperau, alleged master smuggler, was pleading not guilty to two new indictments in which he was named with Burns. Federal officers indicated. that the investigation was gathering momentum and that others prominent in the amusement world might be indicted. Thus far, Katharine Hepburn, Jack Benny, Jack Pearl, Wallace Ford and Joseph Moskowitz of the stage and screen, and Ralph Hitz, hotel executive, have been questioned as to their knowledge of Chaperau. Pederal authorities charged that Chaperau, self-styled’ commercial attache of the Nicaraguan legation, smuggled jewelry and clothing into this country and sold them at bargain prices to a select clientele. Burns, admittedly, was one of these. He pleaded guilty yesterday to nine_counts contained in two indictments. He had been charged with buying from Chaperau two diamond-studded bracelets and a ring worth $4885. He bought them for Gracie Allen, his wife and partner in the celebrated team of Burns and Allen, Crestfallen, his mouth set grimly and his eyes shielded by dark glasses, Burns boarded an American Air Lines plane for California yesterday evening. He had been released in custody of his attorney, Col. William J. Donovan. Two other lawyers, who were with him in court, said he would continue his regular radio programs at least until next week, when he returns, reportedly as a Government witness, at the trial of Chaperau and Mrs. Edgar J. Leuer, wife of a New York Supreme Court Justice who also is charged with having accepted smuggled goods. Although he is ‘liable to possible maximum sentence of 18 years imprisonment and a $45,000 fine, the charges against Burns are technically misdemeanors rather than felonies, and it was assumed that his sentence would be light, especially if he provided Government evidence.

1939 Legislature to Get Proposal for State Zoning Regulations.

Establishment of building setback lines and zoning regulations along roads in Indiana’s highway system is provided in a bill now being drafted for introduction in the 1939 Legislature, L. F. Moorman, State Planning Board director, announced ‘today. This measure, designed to protect property values in suburban areas and to prevent defacement of particularly scenic sections of the state, now is being prepared by the Indiana University law school. It incorporates recommendations decided upon by the Board following a year and a half survey. It proposes to set up five zones— recreational, residential, service center, commercial and industrial—outside incorporated cities and towns.

Appeal Board Provided

The measure also would call for establishment of either a three or a five-man board of zoning appeals, through which appeals from rulings of the State Planning Board and State Highway Commission could be taken. Mr. Moorman explained that neither the State Highway Commission, which co-operated in this project, nor his board would have a representative on the appeals body. Incorporated cities and towns would continue to establish their own zones, and board members said it is hoped that if the new measure is enacted it would provide protection for rural and suburban residents similar to that enjoyed by city property owners.

Federation of Clubs Hears Proposed Health Measure Outlined.

Dr. Verne K. Harvey, State Board of Health Secretary, today told members of the Indiana Federation of Clubs that a uniform food, drug and cosmetic bill would be presented at the 1939 General Assembly. He addressed district presidents, district legislative chairmen and vice chairmen and other State officials at a roundtable legislative discussion at Ayres’ auditorium, The Indiana Food, Drug and Cosmetic laws need to be brought up to date to conform with the new Federal laws, he said. e also predicted that several bills relating to marriage laws would be introduced, including the bills sponsored by the Governor’s Committee’ on marriage legislation. He said that the bill would recommend that the proposed health examination upon application for license be “kept as conservative as possible and as free from legislative red tape.” The bill would “probably” be more conservative than the Illinois law, he said.

Blood Tests Planned

“The Board of Health will support a bill demanding blood tests for expectant mothers,” he said. He added that the appropriations of money for the syphilis program inaugurated by the Federal government probably would be included in a pneumonia control bill. Donald F. Stiver, director of the Indiana State Police Department, who asked support of a uniform traffic code, said that a bill was to be introduced which would bring the Indiana traffic laws to conform as nearly as possible with the uniform code for all states devised by the Bureau of Roads and Standards. Miss Emma C. Puschner, member of the Indiana State Commission on Child Welfare Laws and director of the American Legion National Child Welfare Division, summarized recommendations of the Commission on Child Welfare Laws to be presented at the Legislature. They include: Drafting of an act to govern child adgptions; revision of the laws relating to children born out of wedlock; repeal of all laws relating to indenture of children; strengthening of existing laws which give the state the right of inspection, supervision and licensing of all child-caring institutions; strengthening of existing laws regarding the foster care of children; strengthening existing laws on importation and’ deportation of children; clarification of existing laws governing medical care of children; amendment providing penalty for failure to report treatments for prevention of blindness and an amendment making the county public welfare department agency for centralization wardship of children.

war fronts

By JOE ALEX MORRIS (Copyright, 1938. by United Press) Europe is beginning to run up a war fever again, fearing a doublebarreled crisis early next year. The alarm signals already are out. The Nazi-Fascist partnership is suddenly expanding at both ends, and there are indications that Premier Mussolini of Italy and Fuehrer Hitler of Germany are maneuevring into position for a squeeze play to enlarge the victory Herr Hitler won at Munich. In many ways, the advance buildup for Europe’s 1939 explosion indicates that it may make the Czechoslovakian explosion look like a popgun blast. From the Rome end of the axis, the pressure is directed at British and French dominance of the Mediterranean. From the Berlin end, the thrust is Eastward into the great Ukrainian territory and Soviet Russia.

Everybody ‘Can Worry Now

Intentionally or by chance, the double thrust is developing in a manner to indicate that the democratic powers may have their hands full in the West while the nations which would have been their allies if there Rad“ been war during the Czechoslovakian crisis, are being squeezed in the East. The two fields are now fairly definite. One gives grave forebodings to Great Britain and France; the other is giving Poland, Rumania and Russia the jitters in Eastern Europe. The implications in both are tremendous. In the Mediterranean, Sig. Mussolini’'s bid for a 20th Century Roman Empire is moving constantly closer to a struggle for control of the great inland sea which is essential to Britain and France. Although Italy is hardly serious at present in her unofficial campaign to annex French Corsica and Tunisia, she is serious in demanding other concessions from France and if she gains even partial control of the Mediterranean, Britain and France might be fatally weakened in case of war.

Pigeons Desert Circle, But Starlings Are Still Problem.

INDIANA LOSES ‘POLITICAL PIE

By JOE COLLIER

PIGEON note to the Works Board: Since the last report, which told how the Circle starlings are chasing the Circle pigeons out of the Soldiers and Sailors’ Monument each night, there have been developments. Albert Henry, Monument cus-

‘todian, said that he and his men

figured that the departure of the pigeons solved only half of their problem.

They cast about for some way to cause the starlings to leave after they had dislodged the pigeons and experimented around with noise-making devices. » » 2

ARN old gentleman from Southern Indiana wandered in one day and told them he had had a lot of luck shooing starlings by firing his shotgun near them. They don’t like noise, he said, being of nervous temperament. So the Monument keepers got some boards and every night after the starlings haye chased the pigeons they slap the boards on the sidewalk and the starlings flee, leaving the Monument birdless for the first time within the history of man until the next night.

Mr. Henry said you could slap boards on the Monument sidewalk until doomsday and pigeons would pay no attention, and he predicts that when the starlings leave for good in the summer, as they always do, the pigeons will return. But right now and for the balance ‘of the winter, the problem is solved, he said. “But we haven't got anything but starlings on the pigeons, yet,” he said, “and if you hear of anything by summer, let us know.”

IN WASHINGTON

Roosevelt Reported Irked by Democrat Handling of Hoosier Politics.

By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.—Indiana Democrats are on the blacklist at the White House so far as any fat Federal patronage plums are concerned, it was learned here today. President Roosevelt is reported to

be frankly displeased with the Hoosiers’ handling of politics and the postelection reports of alleged bal-lot-tampering is daily making him more so, it is said. He has told visitors during recent weeks that Senator VanNuys' renomination by the McNutt-Town-send organization certainly did not have his approval and indicated his belief that the Senator’s threats to lexpose the State machine had brought it about. Under the circumstances, Indiana is crossed off the list so far as any further Governmental favors are concerned, the President is said to have intimated rather pointedly.

On List for “Purge”

Senator VanNuys was on the White House “purge list” for his opposition to the Supreme Court “packing plan” and alliance with other Administration oppositionists, such as Senator George (D. Ga.), during the last session of Congress, it has been pointed out. Since returning here on Thanksgiving Day, Senator VanNuys has not been to see the President.

He left The Star to go with Steve Hannagan & Associates in Miami, Fla., and for the last year has been conducting his own public relations business here. Mr. Campbell is 37, is married and has two children, and lives ‘at 3531 Kenwood Ave. He is a member of Theta Chi and Sigma Delta Chi. Mr. Sullivan said he appointed Mr. Campbell because of his newspaper experience, because of personal friendship, and because’ of his knowledge of municipal government. Mr. Campbell said that, having seen the first Sullivan administration from close quarters, he “was happy to be a part of the second administration since the opportunity presented itself.”

EVA “CARES” THIS TIME HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 13 (U. P.)— Eva Tanguay, the one-time “I don’t care” girl of the Follies, revived enough today from a stomach ailment to tell her doctor: “I guess that I'll fool them, and live. I'm feeling swell.”

Governor Townsend's prediction from the White House steps that the Indiana Democrats would oust Senator VanNuys and his failure to carry through with that program is said to rankle the President particularly, according to one visitor with whom he discussed Indiana politics.

The only Hoosier to hold a conference with the President recently is Rep. Glenn Griswold, who was defeated by his Republican opponent, Forrest A. Harness, in the Fifth District. After spending 15 minutes at the White House on Monday, Mr. Griswold emerged to announce that he had “neither talked politics nor asked for an appointment.”

CHICAGO, Dec. 13 (U. P.) —Three methods to break down discrimina-

tory State liquor laws were proposed today to representatives of five

states who met in an effort’to agree on interstate regulation. Edward W. McFarland, chairman of the Michigan Liquor Commission, presided at the conference and outlined the three proposals to legislative, taxation and liquor control officials from Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Kentucky and Ohio. The Council of Stdte Governments called the meeting at the request of Indiana, whose beer import licensing system has been a center of controversy and brought threats of retaliation from other states. “Discriminatory laws were a result of greed ainong states in an further the sale of their

these laws is only to cause retaliation’ in other states to defeat the original purpose.” The three proposals he offered were: 1. States to bar products of a state levying a discriminatory tax. 2. Granting liquor commissions power to impose an equal tax on the products of a state enacting discriminatory taxes. 3. Interstate compact setting up uniform methods of taxation. The Indiana beer import system reportedly is under attack because it has been charged that licenses are awarded as “political plums” and because threatened reprisals by other states would injure Indiana's beer export trade.

State chairman, issued a statement in which he regretted “that the peo= ple, who have the most at stake in any election, have been prevented for all time from knowing the acs tual results of the election.” Recounts were sought by Raymond E. Willis, unsuccessful Republican Senatorial candidate, and une successful Republican State ticket candidates in Marion, Vigo, Vanders burgh, Vermillion, Lake, Franklin and Clark Counties, on the allega= tions that frauds and mistakes were present in the official tabulation.
