Conference. Seeks Ways to

Finance Projects, Cut * , State Layoffs.

Tintes Special WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.—John K. Jennings, Indiana WPA director, is” here today for a conference on methods. of - financing new projects

in Indiana to prevent wholesale

WPA layoffs. *

Mr. Jennings was summoned here by Col, F. C.. Harrington, WPA Administrator, after Governor M. Clifford. . Townsend of Indiana notified Rep. Louis Ludlow (D. Ind.) that the Btate cannot underwrite township projects to stimulate WPA employment, as he suggested. It was understood that Col. Harn, Mr. Jennings and Rep. Ludlow would confer on whether townships can use part of their direct relief appropriations for project sponsorship. The lack of projects, because of taxing units refusing to pay 25 per cent, has caused 11,789 WPA layotts in Jnduana.

‘day, as I always have tried to. The

rest of the time—mealtime included —I work.” Mr. Hoover's office is only a cubby hole—smaller than that of most busy men’s secretaries. It is tucked away in a cornér of a large New

National Social Hygiene Day next Thursday can be “celebrated proud-

riage and pre-natal laws which go into effect March 1, the Indiana State Medical Association stated today in a bulletin. . The - Medical " Association. commended the Indiana Social Hygiene Association for its program which resulted in passage of the law.’ “This legislation should enable Indiana to make great advances in carrying out one of the slogans of the Indiana Plan of Preventive Medicine, sponsored by the Medical Association-—No baby born with syphilis in Indiana,’ ” ¢he bulletin

said. A special study conducted recently by the committee on syphilis control of the Indianapolis Medical Society revealed there are 20,000 to 30,000 cases. of syphilis in Marion County; about 22.7 per cent of all cases admitted to the Central Hospital for the Insane during the last fiscal year had syphilis. and 3 per cent of all children admitted to Riley Hospital from the time of its origin have had congenital. syphilis. Studies of relief groups as a whole have shown about 9.2 per cent as syphilitic and studies at the county jail have shown that 15 per cent of

the criminals had syphilis, the associatioh reported. . Dr. Walter Clarke, director.of the American Social “Hygiene Association, will discuss syphilis and its’ re-
