SAFETY 6 RENAMES AIDS, HEARS REPORTS

Survey on Additional School Protection Proposed; Signal Promised.

Officers of the Citizens’ Safety Committee, who have served for the past year, continued in their capac ities today after their re-election yesterday. They include James P. Tretton, president; Muncipal Court Judge Charles J. Karabell, vice president; Robert Scrogins, secretary, and Adolph Fritz, treasurer, Subcommittee reports on the 22point program the Committee laid out last December in an attempt to increase safety in Indianapolis included a suggestion that a survey be made of the necessity of additional police protection at school crossings.

Traffic Code Passed

Two of the Committee's program points—bicycle and pedestrian regulation—already have been handled by the Legislature which passed a new State traffic code, subcommittees reported. Chief Morrissey stated that a traffic signal which citizens have demanded will be installed at 38th St. and Keystone Ave, The subcommittee on parking meters reported that progress was being made by the Safety Board «whose members are very much in favor of the meters.” Chief Morrissey reported that the various city departments which must be consulted before they can be installed are now working on the problem. Only one or two cities which have tried them have found them unsuitable, he said. Debate Vehicle Inspection

Although the subcommittee studying compulsory vehicle inspection did not make a report, a debate arose over the desirability of such regulation. Todd Stoops of the Hoosier Motor Club said that while he would not oppose such regulations, “it was the drivers and not the cars which are at fault.” “1 agree that many cars on the roads now are not in good shape, but very few of them cause serious accidents,” he said. ¢9 Per Cent Defective’

Capt. Lewis Johnson said that in the last inspection the police department held, 69 per cent of the automobiles were defective in some parts. Chief Morrissey said that by compulsory inspection “we are eliminating future accidents.” The Committee approved the nomination of Lieut. Lawrence MecCarty as a Committee member to replace A. C. Sallee, resigning. Mr. Sallee said in a letter to the Committee that he was “too busy to give the proper amount of time to the Committee's work.”

BAYS PICKS M'NUTT AS NEXT PRESIDENT

Times Special NEW CASTLE, April 13—"God| be willing, Judge and Mrs. John C.| McNutt will be the first parents to witness the nomination and election of their son to the Presidency of the United States.” Fred F. Bays, Sullivan, newly elected Indiana Democratic chairman, so summed up an address in behalf of the candidacy of Paul V. McNutt at a meeting here last night. He traced the political history of Mr. McNutt, now High Commissionet to the Philippines, and said he was one of the foremost advocates of national defense in the country. “No man at present in the United States has the background of success that Faul V. McNutt has, and that will guarantee him the nomination,” Mr. Bays said. Following Mr. Bays’ speech a Henry County McNutt-for-President Club was formed with Eugene Yergin elected chairman and Paul Mendenhall, secretary. Mr. Yergin and Mr. Mendenhall studied under Mr. McNutt when he was head of the Indiana University law school.

CITIES RANKED FOR ‘GOODNESS’

Indianapolis Is Placed Below Chicago by Educational Psychologist.

NEW YORK, April 13 (U. P)— Cities with the highest church memsbership are generally below average in “general goodness of life,” Dr. Edward L. Thorndike, Teachers College educational psychologist, said in his new book, “Your City” published today. The book is based on a threeyear survey of conditions in cities. Dr. Thorndike concluded that the “general goodness of life for good people” is highest in those cities which have an abundance of artists, engineers, musicians, nurses and teachers, but have fewer clergymen, lawyers, actors, veterinarians and domestic servants. He said cities with the highest percentage of church members are below standard in good reading, home ownership and continuance in school, and have a higher proportion of illiterates and child labor. There was no difference, however, in homicides, deaths from venereal disease and illegitimate births. On the basis of points awarded for goodness in a variety of subjects ranging from crime statistics, circulation of library books, ownership of autos and radios to the price of permanent waves, death rates,] salaries of policemen and teachers and value of schools and parks, Indianapolis was given 37 points, one less than Chicago and Kansas City, and two less than Cincinnati. Pasadena, Cal, with 62 points, ranked first; Savannah, Ga, was last with 19.

To Fight Kansas City Vice

KANSAS CITY, Mo, April 13 (U, P) —Federal, State and County

investigators swarmed through this

city. Thirteen men seized yesterday in the vice district along with a million dollars’ worth of morphine and heroin, were to be arraigned before a Federal commissioner. At Jefferson City a legislative committee waslistening to some of the foremost citizens of the state denounce this as a city where policemen in uni form patronized gambling dens, high school boys in R. O. T. C. uniforms went to houses of prostitution, and prostitutes invaded the streets and jumped onto passing automobiles. Sweeping indictments of hundreds of Pendergast’s followers, including a County prosecutor and a County judge, and labor racketeers and vice dealers with whom they asso ciated, and finally, of Pendergast himself on Federal income tax violation charges, has been a prelude to the spectacular cleanup. A legislator in Jefferson City, commenting on recent sensations, described conditions here as “a slimy, stinking, cancerous mess.” Pendergast’s indictment was believed to have been a mortal blow to his political machine.

GIES! LIABILITY]

IN BARRETT LAW SETUP OUTLINED

State Accounting Chief Lists Three Kinds of Deficits Chargeable.

Indiana cities and towns are not liabie for all deficits in connection with Barret Law funds, Edward P. Brennan, State Accounts Board chief, said today. “An erroneous impressicn has been circulated recently that all Barret Law bonds now are liquid and payable by the cities and towns that issued them,” he said. There are only three kinds of deficits in the funds for which any city or town can be liable, he ex-

plained. Liability Qualified

“One provision of the new 1038 amendments is that if public improvement assessments have been prepaid by a property owner thereby stopping all interest charges, the city is liable for loss of the interest.” Mr. Brennan said the city, in order to avoid payment of interest deficits, must reinvest the prepaid money for an Income sufficient to make up the loss. The second liability on cities are the losses incurred through errors in crediting payments to the wrong assessment roll. The third type of deficit for which cities are liable is loss of money through insolvency of any bank in which a city deposits Barret Law collections.

Cites Impression Circulated

Mr. Brennan said the impression has been circulated that cities and towns are liable for losses on bonds if property owners become delinquent on payments on their assessments. If a property owner fails to pay his assessments, the bondholder is the loser unless he is able to collect by foreclosure in court, he said. The new laws authorize cities and towns to levy a special tax for payment of legal deficits chargeable to

Checks in on Check Count At Hike’s End

BUFFALO, N. ¥, April 12 (U, P)-~Gray-haired Walter A. Menthe, 47, ended an 860mile hitch-hiking trip from Chattanooga, Tenn, today by walking into police headquarters and telling Lieut. William BE. Downey “I don't know whether I'm in the right place or not.” Assured visitors were wele come, Menthei said he wasn’t visiting, exactly. “I'm a fugitive from justice,” he explained. “I'm wanted for passing a bad check.” Records revealed Menthei was wanted on a petit larceny charge in connection with a $38 check given a dairy in payment of a milk bill. “I expected money from a man for whom I worked to cover the check,” he said. “Then I didn’t get the money and I went South by bus. Three days ago I got a letter at Chattanooga from a Bufe falo friend, saying I was hunted as a fugitive. So I hitch-hiked back to give myself up.”

LIE DETECTOR BRINGS SABOTAGE SOLUTION

CANYON CITY, Ore, April 13 (U. P.).~The efficacy of the “lie detector,” that controversial aid to criminal detection, was convincingly demonstrated when law enforce ment officers solved a case of sabotage at a CCC camp near here. Under the direction of Dr. Frank Menne of the University of Oregon medical school, 21 CCC youths were strapped to the machine and questioned. The first 20 recorded an even line as they answered the queries. But when the 21st youth was asked about the unsolved crime, the needle fairly leaped. When shown the record made by the recording needle, the youth
