Holds System in Error
Oscar M. Powell of the Social Security Board, Mr. McNutt’s representative yesterday, disagreed with part of Mr. Flanders’ statement. Mr. Powell said that unemployment is a symptom that there is something wrong with our present economic system.

Recommendations Listed
Recommendations made by the commanders and adjutants were: 1. Let’s try to see both sides of every story and not jump at conclusions. 2. Let's keep . cool; look after America’s interest first and intensify our campaign for an adequate national defense. 3. Let's review history and learn from our past experiences that news from foreign countries is censored with the purpose of crystallizing the attitude of neutral nations. in their favor. : 4, Let’s intensify ‘our beliefs in Americanism and so. jealously guard our attitude that there can be no allegiance other than that to America. 5. Let's make American Legion membership. a holy cause in the profound belief the American Legion stands foursquare for the truest tenets of Americanism. 6. There are millions of Americans who do not count their blessings as citizens of this nation, and the American Legion through
program points out there is nothing more important than to sell America to Americans. 7. Less fortunate nations or their representatives have no business to| tell us how to operate or reorganize our national economy.
RIVERSIDE FORUM
Proposed Ordinance Will Be Considered.
The Riverside Civic League will sponsor a forum Dec. 1 on the proposed milk ordinance now before the City Council, Mrs. Herman P. Willwerth, league president, said today. Also to be discussed will be the 1-cent-a-bottle * increase in milk prices which was ordered by the State Milk Control Board and which has been in eftect more than a week. Present at the forum will be a member of the City Council and representatives from the majority of the other civic groups in: the city. Paul Wetter, president of the Indianapolis Federation of Community Civic Clubs, will be a special guest at the meeting.
No. Stand Taken
Mrs. Willwerth said the league has not taken a stand on the ordinance but said that league members believed that it needed careful consideration. Action on the ordinance was deferred at the last Council meeting by Ollie A. Bach, Democratic Councilman. Mr. Bach said that Dr. Herman G. Morgan, City Health Board secretary, had informed him that the measure would need minor revisions. | The ordinance would prohibit the sale of all but grade “A” pasteurized milk after May 16, 1940.
Discussing the price rise in milk, Mrs. Willwerth said she was “quite sure that there is no housewife in my neighborhood who wants to pay 1 cent more for milk that sine could get for less.”
Joins Price Fight
With their voiced opposition to the price increase, the Riverside Civic League joins almost a score of others who have objected to the Milk Control Board’s order. The Federation of Civic. Clubs has already gone on record for its members as opposing the increase. Among meetings scheduled fo protest the price rise is that of the East New York Street Civic League, which is to meet at 7 p. m. Saturday at the home of the Rev. L. C. E. Fackler, 406 Oxford St. C. C. Livingstone, president of the East New York Street group, said that “the league wants to go on record as being opposed to the milk increase.”
Hearing Scheduled Monday All local civic clubs are to send
Monday, when the State : Control Board will hold a hearing to determine the fate of the ordered price increase. The principal objection to the increase was summed up by Mr. Wetter, who said that stock feed is in abundance this year and there is more milk than ever. We see no justification in a one-cent increase.” Other officers of the Riverside Civic League, besides Mrs. Willwerth,
