_ DRIVER KILLED

* INCOLLISION OF AUTO, TROLLEY

Motorist Is Victim in Crash At Harding and Burdsal; Six Others Injured.

Joseph E. Hudson, 45, of 3408 Clifton St, was killed instantly early today in an automobile-trackless trolley crash at Harding St. and Burdsal Parkway. He was the 26th victim of traffic in Indianapolis this year. Mr. Hudson was hurled from his car by the impact. Both the trackless trolley and automobile skidded and the auto was sandwiched between the carrier and a utility pole.

Body Under Trolley

Mr. Hudson's body was found underneath the carrier, but it was believed that he was struck by the wreckage of his own car as it skidded. The Riverside trackless trolley, operated by John W. Hudson, 50, of 1354 Oliver St., was going north on Harding St. after discharging a passenger at the intersection. The motorist was driving west on the parkway. William Riley, 19, of 1240 Burdsal, the passenger, said he was standing in the safety island and did not see the auto approaching. Fla G. Manville, 40, of 1420 W. 22d St., who was driving south on Harding, said he saw there would be a crash and put his car in reverse to avoid being involved.

Born in Kentucky

Mr. Hudson was born at Campbellsville, Ky., and had lived here 20 years. He was an automobile mechanic. He is survived by his wife, Mary, a clerk at Veterans Hospital for 20 years; his mother, Mrs. M. C. Hudy son; two sisters, Mrs. Robert Colvin and Mrs. Vester Goff; two brothers, Dennis and George. All reside at Campbellsville but George, who lives at Shelbyville. Funeral services and burial will be held at Campbellsville Monday. Six others were hurt in 12 other overnight accidents. . Louise Mitchell, 14, of 301 N. Dorman St, was hurt on the shoulder when knocked from her bicycle by a truck at New Jersey and Ohio Sts.

Struck by Auto

Ella Myles, 20, of 416 Albert St. was cut on the chin when she ran in front of a car on W. Michigan St, 100 block, Ths car was driven by George R. Willman, of 501 W. 32d St., police said. William Harris, 11, of 426 Blake St.. was cut on the mouth when the car police said was driven by his father, William Sr., jumped the curb and struck a utility pole at Blake and Michigan Sts. The father was charged with drunkenness. A car driven by Gene Porter, of 825 S. East St. struck Ethel Kiskadon, 34. of 16 W. South St., injuring her ankle. She was taken to City Hospital. Five men abandoned their car and fied after it struck another driven by Walter Bailey, of New Castle. at

Population of Overcrowded Home Cut From 98 to 13 Since April 1.

When the Marion County Colored Orphans Home was transferred to the County Department of Public Welfare on April 1, the problem confronting the Child Welfare Services division was what to do with 98 children in the institution. On Aug. 1, the Public Welfare Department expects that its most pressing problem will be what to do with an empty orphanage. Today there are only 13 children remaining there, and the department hopes that another month will see all of them provided for in homes or institutions more suited to their needs. Committee to Act

A committee appointed by the Community Fund and the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce today was to begin study of the situations at the Colored Orphans Home and the Marion County Children’s Guardian Home to see what facilities are needed toward caring for children. Representatives of the Community Fund present yesterday at a meeting in the office of County Public Welfare Director Thomas L. Neal were Evans Woollen Jr, Raymond F. Clapp, Philip Adler Jr. and Harold B. West. The Chamber of Commerce subcommittee was made up of William A. Hacker, Thomas D. Sheerin, Louis J. Borinstein, William H. Book and Sidney S. Miller. Mr. Neal recommended that a study home with a maximum capacity of 10 would be sufficient for Negro orphans’ future needs. On the basis of placement of the

Two Plans Suggested Two plans were suggested at the meeting for the proposed study home for Negro children, One was for rental of a house; the other was that some one might be asked to ‘take the children in their home, | where the department might send i psychiatrists to visit them.

dies automatically and it will be necessary to draw up a new bill. Asked if his foreign silver purchase program—Kkilled by the Senate but revived in the compromise conference report—was connected

with the good neighbor policy, he said it was one phase of that policy affecting North, Central and South American nations. Another phase, he said, was sta-

bilization of exchange and an even ||

flow of commerce resulting from such stability, That, he said affects Canada as well as Latin American countries. Mr. Roosevelt said that if the monetary bill was not enacted the Treasury was studying the eventualities regarding domestic silver purchases. A few hours of Senate filibuster today would junk the whole monetary bill, permitting dollar evaluation to lapse and the $2,000,000,000 stabilization fund, to which few object, to go with it. In that event the barriers identified by the Administration as the first line of defense of American currency and the American business man would fall. Midnight tonight is the deadline.

Huge Treasury Deficit

The fiscal year will end at that moment. The Treasury will close its books on another big deficit and report a new high in the national debt. Final figures will not be made public until next week, but the deficit will be close to $3,500,000,000. The national debt early this week had reached $40,374,000,000. The House sat late last night in a futile attempt to pass the neutrality bill but adjourned at 11:40 p. m,, after completing work on only five of the measure's 16 sections. The Senate quit at 5:58 p. m., after another thumb-to-nose gesture at the Administration, executed in a vote which refused confirmation as U. S. District Attorney for Nevada to William S. Boyle. Senator McCarran (D. Nev.) said Mr. Boyle was “personally obnoxious” to him and had been named by Mr. Roosevelt in reprisal for various McCarran votes against New Deal measures. Mr. Boyle was the fourth Roosevelt nominee turned back at this session.

Times Photo. Howard Jackson, 38-year-old plumber, was rescued from a cavein of a west side sewer last week after being buried for 10 hours. He lost the battle against effects of exposure and internal injuries, however, and died last night at St. Vincent’s Hospital. 2 ” ” ”

position, his head thrown backward.

First rescuers on the scene climbed down the pit and scooped the dirt from around the victim's face. News of the accident spread quickly. Police and Fire Department rescue squads were summoned. WPA engineers and engineers from the City Engineer's office were called and a plan of rescue was hurriedly mapped. City Hospital doctors dropped down into the shaft to administer first aid. They kept him from fainting once—bholstered his spirits. Mr. Jackson's wife and his father

stood by during the long tortuous hours watching the ordeal. It was not until 10 hours later, early on Friday morning that workers had removed sufficient dirt to attempt the rescue. Under arc lights, ropes and a canvas sheet were lowered to raise the 240-pound man. After failing to lift him with ropes fastened under his arms, he was carried to the surface on the sheet, exhausted and weak. He waved a cheering hand to the well-wishers who had stood by the disaster scene during the night, and was rushed to City Hospital.

feud, joined with Senator Minton in recommending Mr. Greenlee for the place. At that time, which was some weeks ago, Senator Minton understood that he would get the green light for Mr. Greenlee from the White House. He still thinks that the Greenlee appointment may be’ sent to the Senate by President Roosevelt, but now feels that he will have to make a strong personal appeal to get that done. Telephone calls to Brig. Gen. Ed win Watson, secretary to the President, and a letter mailed two weeks ago in which Senator Minton is said to have set out that this mat= ter was “close to my heart” and failure would “cause great embar= rassment” have been unavailing. So busy with his whip's office inhandling “must” legislation for the end of the fiscal year today that he even was unable to attend the McNutt homecoming at Indianapolis, Senator Minton will not attempt to see the President about the Greene lee appointment before next week, he said. Recall Patronage Rows Treasury officials said that prose pective appointees for such posts are examined regarding their “capabilities, character, political, social and economic connections, including as inspection of their personal income tax.” During his service on the NBCQO here, Mr. Greenlee got into several patronage rows. His Shelbyville beer business will be abandoned if it violates Treasury rules and prevents his qualifying for the office, which he wants very much, he has told Senator Minton,

LETTER TO CHILD HINTS RUBENS DEAD

MIAMI, Fla, June 30 (U. P).— Mrs. Ruth Marie Rubens, recently released from a Russian prison, said in a letter received by her 9-year-old daughter here that her husband, Adolph A. Rubens, “won’t be with us any more.” Rubens was arrested at Moscow in an espionage case in December, 1937. Mrs. Rubens was seized several days later. She saw her husband in prison twice, but the last visit was more than a year ago. Mrs. Rubens said in an interview last week at Moscow—after the letter was mailed—that she believed her husband was a Fascist spy, that she had no knowledge of his where-

assistance.

| Thirteen children placed in rela|tives’ homes, with temoprary as|sistance; three other boys referred {to the Family Welfare Society; one boy admitted to the Central Hospital for the Insane; one boy admitted to the Epileptic Village: 35 children placed in foster homes, of whom six have applied for CCC enrollment, {two for the United States Navy and two for NYA; six children placed with their grandmothers. Cripple Improves One of these children was placed in the orphanage in September, 1937, at the age of 10 days. When the baby was given to foster parents last April, he was considered a cripple, Mrs. Jackson said. But with proper attention and nourishment he was walking within a month, she said. “What we are thinking about,” Mr. Neal says, “is provision of the best facilities for children with the

least cost to the community. But the big point is that the children are

those who would like to see the Government take over and support the theater industry, nor those who would like to mobilize, organize and exploit the unfortunate unemployed groups. “I assure you that the WPA Investigating Committee will continue to function with the sole purpose of trying to cure the defects in this program.”

ury experts now are at work on the questions, but refused to go into detail. Mr. Roosevelt was questioned about problems involved in increasing revenue, and was asked whether a gross income tax might serve as a means of producing additional funds, should it be decided to lower exemptions and tax individuals in

low income brackets.
