He is a boy : who, somehow, wandered into the jungle when he was a baby, and for about three years—approximately between the ages of 2 and b5—lived alone in the jungle just as an animal lives. In the late fall of 1933 there were rumors that a strange hu-man-like animal had been seen sneaking through ‘the bushes in the provinces of Sonsonate and Ahuachachapan. That is low=lying jungle country along the Pacific Coast. It is extremely Se tropical, full of rivers, excruciatingly hot, almost uninhabited. The rumor became S80 persistent that an expedition of farmers was organized to search for the “thing.” They hunted a good many months before they caught sight of their prey. . But early one clear morning they saw the “monster” running through the trees, and they captured him. He fought and bit and screamed, and the captors came off with several wounds. They took the youngster to a farmhouse and shut m up in a room. But like Houdini, he was out in a few minutes, and gone. He escaped three more times before they finally got him into the police station at Sonsonate. He was then, they figured, about 5 years old. He appeared to be something out of the stone age. He was naked, and filthy, His fingernails were

long, and his hair too. He stared always at the.

A Real Tarzan

Apparently his original memory of humans had vanished, for he was terrified of them. His temper was vicious. He would attack and bite people without provocation. He had no language. His only speech was a grunt and a scream. No one, even today, knows for sure about the boy’sorigin. But here is the theory: In the early Thirties there was a Communist revofution in that part of Salvador. Well, it is now thought that his father was killed in the uprising, that

People who don’t know any better call him “Tiff.” Tiff kind of prepares you for what is coming. He starts with painting a picture of the Seventies when he was a boy, and gradually gets around "to the corner of Market and - ‘Noble Sts., the part of town he was brought up in. - Besides being a citadel of German culture, it was the most prolific neighborhood in Indianapolis, barring none, says ‘Tiff. The Hooks had five kids; the Metzels, eight; the Wengers, five; the Hennings, three; and the Hurrles, seven, six girls and Casper. The abundance of kids in the neighborhood and the fact that always more babies were coming finally aroused the curiosity of the children, including himself, says Tiff. To such a degree, indeed, that one day they decided to ask Mrs. Beier. She, if anybody, ought to know where babies come from.

Calling for a Showdown

The kids had a vague sort of notion, says Tiff, that Mrs. Beier had something to do with bringing babies into the world. For one thing, she always happened to be in the neighborhood when a new baby arrived, and then, too, there was the circumstance of her little black satchel. The kids had it figured out that Mrs. Beier used her satchel to deliver the babies, which still left the much more baffling question where she got the babies to put in the satchel. Well, ‘one day the dozen -or more kids of the

WASHINGTON, March 11.—Obviously one of the large domestic controversies for some time to come will: concern revision of the Wagner National Labor Relations Act. The average person will do well to approach the whole question with suspended judgment. We begin by knowing that the act and its administration to date have satisfied neither employers nor employees. Com-= plaint from employers alone might be subject to heavy discount. But William Green and John Lewis are screaming, too.

for the benefit of labor it becomes difficult for even the strongest friends of the act to shut their eyes to the possibility that the law may be something : less than perfect. The controversy involves complex procedures, and intense emotions among both employers and labor. And in this ‘campaign year Congress approaches the matter with an eye to votes and campaign contributions. : Dozens of questions are raised. One which strikes at a vital spot concerns the Smith committee’s recommendation—opposed by the minority—that the law be amended to insure to employers the right to discuss matters more freely with their employees. To guard against attempts by employers to intimidate their men, the Wagner act made it an unfair labor practice for an employer “to interfere with, restrain, or coerce employees” in their right of self=organization and collective bargaining.

his mother died at the same time, and he then wandered into the woods and ‘stayed there. He is obviously full-blooded Indian. :

During all those years in the jungle he slept in trees and caves. He had many attributes of a ~monkey. His arms were long, his chest thick, and he could swing through trees. When captured he had a handful of live fish, which he ate with delight. He apparently had lived on live fish, tropical fruits, and herbs. He still had his first teeth. He had no fear of animals. He caught and killed poisonous snakes with his bare hands, even after he learned to talk. He was also familiar with lizards and dogs. But when they showed him a lion and tiger, he had. never seen one before. There was apparently no Romulus and Remus angle to the child’s life. Animals didn’t feed him or care for him. He went it alone. He wasn’t afraid of the dark, but he was of storms. :

His Education Begins

After his capture he was kept fo the Sonsonate police station, where they studied him. He acted precisely like an imbecile. is strange cries reminded people of an animal. He would not eat cooked food. Finally they took him to a Government-owned experimental farm a few miles .from Sonsonate. There was a school in connection with the farm. Slowly they started the educational process. And gradually they discovered he wasn’t an idiot, but a very smart

y. His imitative instincts were exceptionally acute. A teacher could write down the names of the months, just once, and the boy could repeat them. After they were sure he wouldn’t run away, they let him out at night by himself. Many nights he went back into the jungles he knew so well, swung through the trees, played at the river bank, roamed alone throughout the night. But he always came back. ° He grew to prefer a soft bed to sleeping on the ground. He grew to prefer cleanliness, and he wanted to wear clothes. Gradually his melancholy .and sullenness vanished. : And at last they knew for sure he was not an imbecile—but a genuine, living, breathing Tarzan. And that, incidentally, is what they called him, and what they still call him today. Not Tarzan, but Tarzancita, which means “Little Tarzan.” 1

neighborhood met Mrs. Beier face to face. Then, if ever, was their chance to ask her. Mrs. Beier didn’t bat an eye when she heard the question. She told the kids to follow her. They trudged down Noble St., the kids bug-eyed with excitement. After a short walk, hardly a block long, Mrs. Beier announced that they had arrived at her home. It was the second house north of Wabash on the west side of Noble St. Tiff says he’ll never forget it. They turned in and entered the house by way of the back porch on which stood an old-fashioned cistern—the kind with a windlass and a chain bucket. There was the old-fashioned wood inclosure, too, so that nobody could fall in. voi} :

The Mystery Is Solved

Without saying another word, Mrs. Beier reached for a long pole, stuck it into the cistern and started stirring. You could hear the water churn, says Tiff. Then in the most matter of fact voice, Mrs. Beier invited the children to come to the rim of the cistern. If they'd look down, they'd see where babies come from, she said. Amd sure enough, when the kids looked down they saw more than a dozen babies’ faces. One little girl, says Tiff, got so excited when she saw her reflection in the moving water that she asked everybody to have a look at her baby brother—the one they were expecting at their house pretty soon. Tiff says it’s the gospel truth. And he ought to know, he says, because the girl 4s now his sister-in-law. . When I pressed Tiff for the girl's name, he said: “Sure, such things ought to be preserved for posterity.” Her ‘name is Emma Metzler. The house of Mrs. Beier, one of the grandest midwives Indianapolis ever had, is still standing, says Tiff. He says he gces around there every once in a while just to make sure. : .

concern’s attitude regarding wage contract negotiations then in progress. The purpose was to correct any erroneous impressions that might be in the minds of employees who were not members of the negotiating committee. Yet he was hauled before the Labor: Board and warned about trying to interfere with his employees. : William Green cites a case in which this provision was invoked to crack down on a sub-foreman, am A. F. of L. member, who as a union member had a right to talk with other union members. So both Green and most employers feel that the labor act does not sufficiently guarantee free speech concerning industrial relations. The Smith committee has recommended adding a clarifying amendment to provide that nothing in the act shall be interpreted as prohibiting any expressions of opinion regarding matters which may be of interest to employees or to the public, provided that such expressions of opinion are not accompanied by acts or threats of discrimination, intimidation or coercion.

Minority Fears Abuses

However, some defenders of the act feel this would start the way for abuses, although it only serves to protect the right of free speech. The minority members of the Smith committee, Reps. Healey and Murdock, say that it is a thinly disguised scheme to permit use of the economic weight of the employer to interfere with the free exercise of the right of selforganization. It would seem that with all the restrictions now placed upon an employer, he could safely be allowed to talk. That indicates the kind of controversy that may be expected throughout the discussion of amendments. Unquestionably the labor act, while giving employees long-overdue: protection in the right to organize, has at the same time built a wall between employer ad employee which, in the long run, is not to the good. :

conservation work, will better understand what it has meant to human beings like themselves on farms in the wind-swept prairie region of the United States. The other film shows.the lead and zinc mines in the area of our country where Kansas, Oklahoma and Colorado meet. This is designed to bring home to us the danger to the workers in those mines from the dust which eventually gives them silicosis and a predisposition to tuberculosis, from which they die at -an ‘early age. : These people live in the shadow of great piles of waste which disintegrates and blows around in dust, so that the children are affected in precisely the same way as the workers in the mines. There must be ways of discovering methods of keeping this dust down in the mines. The living quarters of these families should be moved from ‘the dangerous area. I hope this picture will also be commercially shown and that it will awaken the interest of the people to make it easier for the unions to obtain Jiover working. and

Gallup Poll— U.S. Partin Peace Talk Favored

By Dr. George Gallup |

PRINCETON, N. J, March 11.—When Sumner Welles gets back to Washington with his report on the chances of European peace, President Roosevelt will be faced with a series of momentous questions.

a peace move at this time? Has the Welles mission won the public’s approval? If Hitler and the Allies have left a door open to a genuine peace offer from the United States, should Mr. Roosevelt make further moves for re-. conciliation? Most important of all, perhaps, do the American people wish to. participate in a peace conference, or have they been disillusioned by the tesults of the Versailles peacemaking 21 years ago? " In view of the national and international impertance of these questions the American Institute of Public Opinion has conducted soundings in all parts of the United States which indicate the temper of American voters at this time. While the responsikilities of peace-making and treaty-fram-ing will rest with the experts and diplomats when peace is finally reached, cne factor which will have to be taken into account in any settlement is the attitude of the American public. : Here are the salient points in that attitude today as gained frcm the survey: 1. Even though the war in Western Eurcpe is apparently far from a decision, the majority of Americans believe that an attempt should be made to end it now through an international conference. The Institute asked: “Do you think now is the right time for the leading nations of the world to have a conference to try to settle Europe’s problems and end the war between Germany and England and France?” Fifty-eight per cent of those with opinions on the question answered “Yes”; forty-two per cent thought it was not the right time. 'This in itself is an indication of favorable sentiment for the Welles mission, since Mr. Welles was ‘sent abroad specifically to learn whether a canference would have any chance at the present time. 2. Even more important as a revelation . of the American mind, however, is the fact that (8 majority believes the United States should take part in such a conference if-one is called. In answer to the question, “If such a conference is held, should the United States take part in it?” 55 per cent say “Yes”; 45 per cent say “No.”

: With Sumner Welles returning shortly to Washington with his report on peace chances in Europe,.two of the ' questions facing President Roosevelt deal with an international conference to attempt -a war settlement and whether

America should take part.

The above figures show American public opinion on

American Institute of Public Opinion,

HE public's attitude makes two additional points clear. From the political standpoint it appears that President Roosevelt has once more taken a popular step in launching the Welles peace mission. The President's foreign policy since the outbreak of the war has, in fact, been one of the most consistently popular policies he has ever attempted. The public has approved the lifting of the arms embargo, clapping a cash-and-carry provision on sales to the belligerents, and lending money to Finland. Secondly, it appears that although many “Americans believe they would profit by an eventual war boom, the majority hope that the war can be brought to an end. “There'll have to be a conference sooner or later; it might as well be now” .. . “Europe could make a better peace now than later”... “make peace now and prevent the war from starting in earnest” .. . these are the chief thoughts in the American voter’s mind when he considers the question of war and peace today. > The whole question of a conference may be sprung aon the world without much notice, of course, if Chancellor Hitler does as some observers expect him to

Where would the Amercan public stand in that case? ° : eee - HE survey shows that there is likely to be strong sentiment in the United States, in that event, for ‘the Allies to sit down with Germany.and earnestly examine the German proposition. Asked: “If Hitler offers to make peace this spring, do you think England and France should meet : with the Germans and try to end the war?” 75 per cent of all those with opinions on the question answer “Yes.” Twenty-five per cent say “No.” 5 This does not mean, of course, that the American people want a Hitler-dictated peace. On the contrary, they would probably con- - sider’ the Allies perfectly justified in continuing the conflict if the alternative were a Nazi triumph. The vast majority of Americans have never sympathized with Hitler’s claims to Cechoslovakia and Poland, for instance, and in the ‘present survey public sentiment is strongly opposed to letting Germany keep these territories. : “If peace could be reached by letting Germany keep Czechoslovakia,” the Institute asked, “would

The petitions, now being circulated, cite “a large number of dirty, deteriorated shacks in the vicinity of School 16,” at 1402 W.

As the most powerful neutral in the world, the United States may have a peculiarly good opportun- > ity to influence the kind of peace settlement. which. eventually emerges when the war is over. Whether America takes part in the peace conference or not, her economic influence is bound to be great. That is one reason why the public opinion revealed in today’s survey will not be ignored either in Washington or in ‘the capitals of Europe. : 4 ”n ” 8 . HE survey shows that ‘the : greatest support for an inter-national-peace conference at this time comes. from members of President Roosevelt’s own party, as does most of the support for American participation in such a conference, But. there seems to be little or no sign of the kind of

partisan split which developed

over Woodrow Wilson's League of

the questions as measured by the

Nations. . More than half of the Republicans with opinions on the two questions approved the idea of a conference and approved of American participation. It apparently makes little difference, either, whether an Arnerican lives in the East, West, North or South—insofar as his views on a peace conference go. Women, however, are more in favor of a peace conference than men, while men are more in faver of U.S.

- participation if such a conference

is called than women are. ‘As in all sampling of public opinion, the figures quoted in to--day’s survey are subject to a small error due to the size of the sample, i. e., the number of persons interviewed. In the present survey, however, assuming an accurate cross-section, the statistical probabilities are 95 in 100 that the figures -cuoted for the country as a whole would not vary more than 2 per cent. if the whole voting population of 60,000,000 had been interviewed, and 997 in 1000 that the figure would not change more “than 3 per cent. The normally expected range of error would be somewhat larger for the various sectional and party “breakdowns,” of course, but again the probabilities of 95 in 100 that this error would not be greater than 5 per cent in any such “breakdown.”

Health Standard of Indiana Old-Age Aid Recipients High

Nine out of ten of the recipients of old-age assistance in Indiana are physically able to care for themselves, a Department of Public Welfare report of 1939 cases showed today. About one-fifth of the recipients are under medical care, the report showed, but only 2.1 per cent ‘are bed-ridden and only another 8.8 per cent require a considerable amount of care. : This fairly healthy condition of Indiana’s aged was confirmed by the fact that about one recipient in five was. living alone and about one: in three had ‘no other persons in the home ‘except the spouse. One in 10 ‘Was on Relief The report contained 12 tables listing the various sociological characteristics ‘of .the aged dependent on the state for support. :

It showed that for the state as a whole, only -one old-age assistance client in ten was receiving relief or any other kind of assistance at the time the investigation of his application ‘was made and that almost half (48.9 per cent) had never received any sort of public assistance. This was despite the fact that four out of five had no income from any source, either from investments or ‘contributions "of relatives. In three cases out of five, no other assistance of any sort was: being received in the household.

| 84% Married or Widowed

About 84 per cent of all the oldage beneficiaries in the state last year were either married or widowed, the report showed. Only 9. per cent of all the clients were divorced or _separated.

Although it has been shown pre-|

viously ‘by the Welfare Department that four times as many natives. of Indiana ‘are receiving old-age as-

sistance in other states as thereare|-

natives of other states being aided here, two-thirds of all the cases handled during 1939 were of people born in the state. Only 3.3 per cent were born outside the United States. Nineteen cases in every 20 were of white persons and: 57.3 per. cent of all cases were men. The largest number of cases came within the age group 65-70, with only about 36 per cent of the récipients. being above the 70-year mark. i ~ Cheaper With Relatives’

of an aged person living alone. The average cost where an aged couple lives with relatives is $17.42. Th last two charges show the reasons for withdrawals of assist ance or applications’ for assistance. In 62 per cent of the cases, assist ance terminates with death, in 12.5 per cent of the cases relatives become able to contribute to the support. About 6 per cent of those assisted later became able to support themselves and only 64 per cent. were admitted to institutions. ‘One applicant in four was found ineligible for old-age assistance because his relatives were able to sup= port him and 17 per cent were rejected because they had resources to support themselves.: Almost 15 per. cent were found to have applied be= fore they were old ‘enough to qualify: the minimum age at which assistance can be granted is 65.
