An increase in high school enrollment and a decrease in grade school enrollment—a trend in Indianapolis schools for the past few years—Iis expected when classes convene Sept. 5. No major changes in public | school policy are planned, ac-| cording to Schools Superintendent DeWitt S. Morgan, who said of-| ficials and teachers would strive | to intensify their past efforts in| “building individual character, com- | vetence and citizenship among our our pupils.” 1

CHICAGO, Aug. 30 (U. P).—The
| National Safety Council reported to-
day that death has increased its lead over traffic safety campaigns
fand said rural areas and increased
vacation travel—perhaps due to the two World's Fairs—were to blame. The nation’s July death total was 2750, an increase of 1 per cent over 2720 deaths in July last year and a 17 per cent increase over 2360 deaths in June. The normal June-July increase, caused by summer travel, is 13 per cent. Fatalities during the first seven months this year totaled 16,250. “Once again,” the Council said, “the rural areas can be blamed for the upturn in traffic deaths. A 7

talities offset a 9 per cent drop in This was the fourth the rural death toll has mounted. Figures are not available to determine how much of this increase may be attributed

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30e(U. P.).— The Dies Committee on Un-Amer-ican Activities today prepared two reports connected with its investigation and called off hearings tem-

The other will be a preliminary report on the Committee's investigation of Fascist activities to date. The Committee also instructed Counsel Rhea Whitley to communicate with New York Police and Customs authorities to make sure Fritz Kuhn, head of the German Amer- | ican Bund, or other witnesses under | subpena, did not leave the country [aboard the German liner Bremen in |case she were given clearance papers.
