Senator E. Curtis White (D. Indianapolis) urged senators to kill the amended bill because “the State Board| is qualified. to adopt the books ror the children of Indiana.”
Both Houses Approve Prison Goods Bill
. Sale of prison-made goods on the open market would be prohibited under terms of a bill approved by Both houses and sent today to Govérnor Townsend. © The House last night concurred in minor Senate amendments to this measure which was sponsored by ory fan labor. An amendment was tten into the bill to specify that its provisions should not apply to the sale of automobile license plates which are made at the State Prison at Michigan City. : Prison made goods could only be sed by various State and local govérnmental units by provision of this
; ai Violations would be classified
a. misdemeanor subject to a fine of $1000 and maximum imprisonnent of 90 days or both. + This measure had a stormy course uring | this session. Opponents &aimed that the State Welfare Department was making every effort to abolish its industries which compete with private business. They insisted that stringent provisions of this ill would force penal institution
" heads to keep inmates in idleness, * thus increasing the chances for riots
and other breaches of discipline. Advocates claimed that many prison industries now are causing unemployment among free labor. This bill was one of the few sponsored by organized labor to receive favorable action by this session.
harges Legislature
Neglected Citizens . Charging the General ‘Assembly ad been “remiss in its guardianship over the rights and privileges of all its citizens,” Rep. Theodore Cable. (D. Indianapolis) today filed a8 protest in the House :ournal Against the failure of three bills dealing with the rights of Negroes. - The measures in- question would have defined the rights of Negro citizens in regard to jury service, gthletic competition in public high schools and civil rights. * The protest stated in part: « “We have lived side by side, since emancipation, a part of this wonderful American civilization; observing its pre-emince in art, science and invention. We marvel at its industrial supremacy, and have taken demonstrable pride in our democracy. It is inevitable then, that since the shaky beginnings of our eitizenship during “thg carpetbagger days we should have: absorbed the culture and ideals of this environment, 1 “It is an historical fact that no group of people can rise to a full development of its capacity to contribute to the resources of its invironment; to enrich, if ‘you Dlease, - the capital structure of civic and national life, unless, on the other Hand it be given full opportunity for growth. Opportunity and responsibility are hand-maidens, always inseparable. It'is likewise true that self-respect and self-reliance are the children of responbility and the parents of ail achievement. . “Although we all know that this Legislature can bring about no miracle of transformation; it can start blazing a narrow trail in the right direction, toward an objective which must be as desirable to all of you as it is to me.” :
- YOUTH KILLS FATHER | “TO PROTECT | MOTHER’
. WILMINGTON, Del, March 17 (U. P.).—Nineteen- year-old Carleton Greigg shot and killed his father “to protect. my mother” at their Wilmington home today, police reported. “I fired the shot,” police quoted the youth. Martin Greigg, 46, a painter, returned home early today after drinking and began to quarrel with his wife. To avoid him, the mother ran into a bedroom where other of . their eight children were: sleeping, When Greigg followed her, she then

Among Accomplishments Of - Legislators.
A major accomplishment of the 81st General Assembly was its legislation dealing with health and hospitalization problems, a survey showed today. The prineipal aet in this classification was the hygienic law, drafted by a special commission named by Governor . Townsend, which will go into effect March 1, 1940. : This law provides that applicants for marriage licenses must undergo physical examinations not more than 30 days before applying for a marriage license. Licenses will be void if not used within '60 days of issuance date.
Provides “Waiting Period”
A “waiting period” is provided, because the law requires the syphilis test results to be mailed to the applicants. Persons objecting, to physical examinations on religious grounds are exempt under the law’s provisions. A second health measiire, which the State Health Board predicts will “save 1000 lives annually,” appropriates $75,000 for the Health Board to purchase pneumonia, smallpox, diphtheria d typhoid serum: to distribute/ to needy persons. Because this law does not go intc effect until July 1, a plementary bill was passed appropriating $20,000 for the pt medinte purchase of pneumonia serum for use in combating the current wave of influenza. After physician-members of the Legislature told their colleagues that 10°per cent of the State's population is afflicted with syphilis, a bill was enacted to require all expectant mothers to take blood tests. Persons objecting on religious grounds are exempt.

‘Gin Marriages’ at Valparaiso Doomed
one of Chicago’s Gretna Greens. The new law, which goes into effect March 1, 1940, provides for compulsory physical examination of all couples intending to wed. As
proved or rejected for sa license, there will be no sudden “gin” marriages. About 7000 ‘ couples, mostly from Chicago, have been married here in the past two years.
EAST SIDE CLAIMS STREETS UNKEMPT
A committee of East Side residents today planned to ask City officials for street and alley improvements in the Brdokside area. The Brookside Civic League, at a meeting last night, charged that “general neglect of East Side streets, alleys and sidewalks has resulted in chuckholes and broken curbs.” Scott Gehring was named chairman of the public/ improvement committee which is to call upon the Board of Works in| the next two weeks.

Miss B. Green, Box 361, Davis, Okla,, writes: “For three years my face was covered with large pimples caused by an external condition. I decided to try Cuticura Soap and] Ointment.

Complaints to Streets Department Rise In Spring.
The City Streets Department has a “tough road.to.hoe,” members complained today. For instance: In the winter, citizens call up and complain that streets are icy and they want ashes put on them. So the Streets Department puts ashes or cinders on the ice. Then vesidents call back and say they don’t like the ashes or cinders because they are tracked into the homes. : Summer brings no relief in ‘the problems of the Department. In the summer, residents complain about the dust, especially on unimproved roads at the edges of the City. So the Department puts calcium chloride down to lay the dust. The residents call back to complain that the chemical eats away the soles of their shoes. Spring is about the worst though. As soon as the snow clears away and new holes in the strects appear the Department's telephones are ‘kept ringing all daPeby taxpayers who want their streats repaired. ; There isn’t enough money in the budget to fix all these things, anyway,

Rep. Edwatd H. Stein (D. Bloomfield), the minority floor leader, actually created the name of the club during debate in the House.
As a resilt, he has been given a red ribbon insignia of the club. To show his party loyalty, however, Rep. Stein has persisted in wearing the ribbon upside down. Rep. Paul Brady (R. Muncie) introduced the club’s articles of incorporation in the House Journal, making them an official record of this session. He said he was doing this to protect the action of this Legislature in killing the bill aimed at the “Two Per Cent Club,” the Demacratic campaign fund collection agency. Listed in the aims of the G. O. P. organization in the incorporation papers is the statement that the club is designed “to initiate economy in government,” a fact that has additional interest because of the deadlock that arose between Republicans and Democrats on the biennial appropriation.
The 51 Republicans in the House; who have voted as a unit on party measures, are listed as charter members of the “51 Per Cent Club.” The 16 Republican. Senators are listed as honorary members, while the papers said the associate members. “consist of several million citizens of Indiana who desire to support the, principals’ of’ the Republican arty... .

DOG'S HOWLS PROTECT GIRL FROM STRANGER
An 11-year-old girl told police today how her dog chased away a would-be assailant last night while she was walking home from a drug store at Dearborn St. and Brook-
side Parkway. She said a strange man stopped her and asked about street driections, and that when he grabbed her arm the dog, trailing along at her heels, set up such a howl that the man ran down an alley.
