IS SUGGESTED
Possibility of Authority Here Follows Offer From Straus.
The possibility of creating an Indianapolis Housing Authority, to function with the United States Housing Authority in effecting a! slum clearance program here, will be suggested to City Council Monday night, it was learned today. A slum clearance program was offered to the City Thursday by Nathan Straus, U. S. Housing Authority Administrator, after an inspection tour. He predicted that funds will soon be available for an extensive program. Joseph G. Wood, Council presi-| dent, said he would contact Council- | men before Monday night's regular meeting on the possibility of creat-| ing a local authority.
Straus Offers Aid
“We haven't discussed such a! possibility.” he said. “But I see no reason why we shouldn't consider it if an offer of slum clearance has been made.” The offer was made by Mr. Straus directly to Mayor Sullivan Thursday as the two men inspected “al portion of the City's slums” and! then went through Lockefield Gar-| dens, the low-cost housing project! for Negroes. Mr. Straus said the conditions he saw aren't “civilized.” Mayor Sullivan, meanwhile, was to confer with Thomas A. Moynahan, State Housing Board director, on initiating a slum clearance pro-| gram. | Under the terms of the USHA] program, municipalities must create local housing boards to avail them- | selves of the Federal funds. A slum clearance project offered to the City last vear failed to mate-| rialize because Council did not set up a local authority.

money. It merely requires municipality to create the board) and to make a survey of housing | conditions, on which the Federal program can be based. Last year, when cities throughout the nation were competing for slum clearance funds, preference was given on the basis of need, as shown by local surveys. Meanwhile, Dr. Herman G. Mor-| gan, City Health Board secretary, revealed outbreaks of several contagious diseases last winter originated in the so-called blighted areas, where sanitation, he said, was poor “We have firm, statistical evidence,” he said, “that the mortality rates of pneumonia, tuberculosis and among newborn infants is higher in the sium sections than in any area of the City. “It is exceedingly difficult for the Health Board to keep watch over

11939 American Mother Puts Faith in Bible, Soap, Spinach.
EW YORK, May 13 (U. P).— Mrs. Otelia Compton, 80, who was selected by the Golden Rule Foundation to be “American Mother for 193%,” hesitated today when she was asked how she had reared her children, but her son, Prof. Wilson Compton, said: “The Bible, scap and castor oil.” “They didn't get much castor oil,” said Mrs. Compton, “but they got plenty of spinach.” An erect old lady who drives her own automobile, Mrs. Compton has three sons, a daughter, nine grandchildren and a great

‘Job Is Too Difficult’ “They are expected to check up on sanitation, housing, fumigation and contagious diseases. It's obviously impossible for 11 men to make complete checks in a City this size “I remember the time when we had 18 inspectors. The City’s population then was only 200000. I have no doubt that poor housing goes hand in hand with high morbidity and mortality rates.” Members of a local housing board, under Federal regulations, receive no salary for services. Five are appointed by the Mavor, subject to Councilmanic approval, and the Board is nonpartisan.

Promises Offer
According to London diplomatic quarters, Baron von Papen made a last attempt to balk Britain when British-Turkish negotiations reached the conclusive stage. It was asserted that Baron von Papen promised Sukru Saracoglu, Turkish Foreign Minister, that if Turkey postponed concluding the agreement Germany would make Turkey an offer it could not refuse. As part of this offer, it was asserted, Baron von Papen said Germany would bring not only Bulgaria but Turkey into a Balkan Entente aligned with the Berlin-Rome axis. Minister Saracoglu, according to these sources, replied acidly that the prospect of such a development was alone sufficient to induce Turkey to hasten conclusion of the British
Turkey Hopes for Peace
Then, it was said, Baron von Papen indignantly protested that a British-Turkish agreement would increase the probability of war from 40 per cent to 60 per cent. Minister Saracoglu replied, it was asserted, that on the contrary he thought it would reduce the chances of war from 60 per cent to 40 per cent,
