AID IN CHECKING JUVENILE CRIME

78 Per Cent of Cases Adult; Theft Most Common Court Problem.

For the first time in the history of the Marion County Juvenile Court, case statistics intended to aid in skillful assignments of staff members in crime prevention work are available.

The main objective of the survey, which covers all of 1938 and the first six months of this year, is to develop preventive measures and reduce the number of juvenile and adult cases. Already this year there have been more than 2000 cases and Court officials predicted today that there would be 5000 or more cases as the year’s total. “The thing that most people don’t know about Juvenile Court,” Randall Shake, staff administrator of the court who conducted the statistical survey, said, “is that 78 per cent of our cases are adults.”

5 Boys to 1 Girl

In 1938, as revealed by the survey, there were 617 cases of juvenile delinquency handled by the court. Of this total 513 were boys, 104 were girls. Police brought 391 cases to the court, parents sent 78 and school officials brought the court's attention to 70. Others were brought to court by various agencies. The offense found most often was stealing of which there were 205 cases. Next to stealing, the charge of being ungovernable was brought against 107, and 63 faced the judge because of acts of carelessness. | Of the 205 brought to court in cases of theft, 200 were boys, five were girls. Of these 617 cases, 246 were either dismissed, dismissed with warning, adjusted or held open without action. Placed on probation were 222 children and 61 were committed to! State institutions. Other cases re-/ ceived individual treatment.

BALTZELL SONS B EVIDENGE IN GITY GAS LEASE SUIT

Case Is Under Advisement With Ruling Expected After August First.

The case of whether the City is bound by a 28-year-old lease of Indianapolis Gas Co. properties to the former Citizens Gas Co. was taken under advisement today by Federal Judge Robert C. Baltzell. No decision in the suit, trial of which began last March in Federal Court here, is expected to be made until after Aug. 1 when the plaintiff, the Chase National Bank, trustee for Indianapolis Gas bondholders, is to file its reply brief.

Arguments Concluded

Final oral arguments were concluded yesterday. The suit maintains that when the City, through the Citizens Gas & Coke Utility, took over the Citizens Gas Co. in 1935, it became obligated to pay Indianapolis Gas Co. bondholders nearly $600,000 annual rental as specified in the lease. The lease was made in 1913 when the Indianapolis Gas Co. ceased to compete with the Citizens Gas Co. In 1935 the Citizens Gas Co. conveyed all its property to the City. It also tendered an assignment of the lease but the City refused to recognize it, claiming the rental was excessive because much of the property was no longer used or useful. Since that time the lease rental, placed in escrow, has amounted to nearly $1.400,000, which the City would have to pay if the lease is found to be valid and binding.

Judge Outlines Case

At the conclusion of the oral arguments Judge Baltzell outlined to attorneys the major points under

| consideration in the case.

These are: 1. Does the case come under Federal jurisdiction? Attorneys yesterday charged and denied that there was any collusion between the Indianapolis Gas Co. and the Chase bank in naming the Indianapolis Gas Co. as defendant in order to gain Federal jurisdiction. If the Indianapolis Gas Ce. were realigned as plaintiff there would be no diversity of citizenship and thus no Federal jurisdiction. 2. The validity of the lease itself.

PUBLIC/OPINION in charge of commerce and business, the other in charge of agriculture--rank about evenly in popularity among Democrats in their state today, with Mr. Wallace slightly in the lead. Although neither of the two men has thrown his hat in the ring, or taken any overt step regarding 1940, the Democratic voters of Towa were asked in the survey which man they would favor if it came to a choice between Mr. Wallace and Mr. Hopkins for Democratic presidential candidate next year. The vote:

Favor Wallace Favor Hopkins

.. 94%

One voter in every four (25 per cent) said he had no opinion at this time. ” 2 ” ECRETARY WALLACE, who has guided the New Deal farm program for more than six years, draws his popular following chiefly from farmers in the survey. Among the farm and rural population in Towa, who constitute about 60 per cent of the total population, he is a 2-to-1 choice over Mr. Hopkins. Senator Wallace’s next greatest source of strength is the small towns where he leads over Mr. Hopkins, though by a small margin. Mr. Wallace is not as popular as Mr. Hopkins, however, among the urban voters of the state. The detailed vote follows:

Making Movies Is Fun for Carradine

OLLYWOOD, July 12—The

sun was getting pretty low and the “Captain Fury” company |

was preparing to go back to Hollywood from location in the Malibu hills. John Carradine and I stood watching the hustle of departure and listening to the wisecrackery and ribbing of the crews.

He said, “This has been the kind of day that makes me glad I'm in the movie business. You know, we have a lot more fun than the people who see the pictures.” Mr. Carradine ought to know, because he likes the business in spite of his usually unpleasant roles. This time he is a homicidal maniac who goes around reciting poetry and stabbing people—doing both at the same time. Between shots, though, he can loll back and rhapsodize on the fun of working in pictures. The locale of “Captain Fury” is Australia, and the story concerns the persecution of the early settlers and their revolt against the land barons. For most of the action, Hal Roach has rented about 50 acres of eucalyptus groves and dotted it with cabins. No kangaroos, boomerangs or koalas. Looking for the company, which was supposed to be down along the creek somewhere, I first came upon Margaret Roach, daughter of the producer and a featured player in this film. She was sitting on a rock sketching a landscape. Not bad. She said, “They went that way,” and pointed down to the right. 8 = 8

N a little while I came upon some technicians, on their

hands and knees in the creek bed, examining rocks. They said, a little defiantly, that they were looking for gold. Upstream, Roach himself was directing a scene in which a gang

of coilvicts were toting rocks. The supposed prisoners were having an easy time of it. At noon we went back to camp and found, instead of the box lunches most studios serve, a husky meal of steak and all the accessories. Mr. Carradine and Gibson Gowland staged a contest to see which could look the most villainous. This was voted a draw. Then Max Asher, make-up man on the picture, did some sleight-of-hand. As a side line, Mr. Asher owns a magic shop in Hollywood and sells a lot of mechanical tricks to actors. It was time to go back to work, but Frank Baker, Australian technical adviser, gave an exhibition of cracking a bull whip. He also gave several of us a chance to try it. Victor MeLaglen was pretty good. I almost decapitated myself. . . . About that time, there was an argument between Jack Roach, location manager, and Gene Morgan, actor and night club master of ceremonies. Mr. Roach’s horse had cast a shoe and Mr, Morgan was trying to bet that he knew how to put it on. He did. “ 5% # INALLY they set up the camera and equipment and began taking movies of a man galloping from house to house yelling that Capt. Fury had been captured. This was pretty dull, but there was some unscheduled excitement. A big black horse had been tied to a limb of an artificial tree. The animal grew jittery, broke off the limb and bolted. He ran right toward the group around the camera and sound booth. Two men went headlong over a fence; most of us dived under a truck. The horse swerved. Audra Lindley, stand-in for June Lang, was sitting in a canvas chair and bending down over a make-up box If she had heard the commotion and straightened up there would have been a serious accident. But she didn’t, and De big black jumped right over er. Miss Lindley didn’t seem much flustered, but she did wish a still photographer had been on the job to snap the narrow escape. She said disconsolately that things are always happening to her, but by the time they get to the local papers her adventures always are attributed to the stars or leading ladies. All such incidents are appropriated by press agents to get the names of better-known ace tresses into print. Miss Lindley Bhi she could use the publicity,

NEICHBORHOODS

Independent Producer Has a Lot of Punch in Organization of Hollywood

OLLYWOOD makes no secret of its stars’ activities and physical and mental! charms but doesn’t say much about the machinery of its production and business.

There are about seven or eight large studios and two smaller ones. The large ones put out from 35 to 50 pictures a year and the smaller

studios make almost as many.

No studio can have enough money to finance all these pictures. Therefore the next step below the parent company is the producer.

He many times borrows some money from the studio, sometimes from his friends or the banks. Many times he is able to finance a picture by himself. A producer working for a studio is responsible to the company for the expenses he incurs and for the product he makes. If he makes lots of money for the studio he makes lots of money for himself and then he becomes an independent producer.

# i" ”

N independent producer takes all the risks, loses all the

money (sometimes it isn’t all his

own) and gets all the glory. He either sells outright or leases a finished picture to the studio. The studio distributes it. Each major studio has only four or five independent producers. They are a rare and powerful animal in the Hollywood jungle. Below the producer is the director. He is responsible for the excellence of the finished picture. In many cases he does the casting. He makes out the requisitions. Many times he signs them. The big expenses and important decisions are dictated by the producer. ” ” ® HE director also directs the picture. He is the first man in the hierarchy (going down) who is paid to be an artist, although many of the producers and studio executives were artists in their time, when they were directors. A director is not an entrepreneur. He does not put up any money. That is another reason for the not infrequent clash be= tween director and producer. Below the director (in the producing system) is the assistant di rector. There are several assist ants on each set, each doing a specialized job. That, in brief, is the organization that brings a movie to your neighborhood house.
