English, had been entered and that the safe had been broken. Mrs. English said $250‘ had been stolen. Police blamed all three burglaries on three men who subsequently es-
caped from a stolen auto when it
was wrecked at 21st St. and College Ave. The stolen car collided with one
containing Virgil Ford, 29, of 1015 E. 9th St, and Joseph Robinson, 52, and Forest Below, 29, of 2017 Carrollton Ave., all of whom were injured. = “They told police the three men ran, and that one limped as though he ‘had been injured. In the abandoned stolen car, police found six sets of 1940 Indiana auto license plates, 36 certificates of title, one box of tools, two pinch bars, two .32 caliber revolvers, three cartridges three flashlights and a sledge hammer. The guns will be checked with 32 caliber bullets recovered at the scene of recent holdups, police said. The 17-year-old youth and a 16-year-old -companion were held on vagrancy charges under $2000 bond each, and a 15-year-old boy was held at the Juvenile Detention home. Yesterday afternoon Lawrence Fulwiden, 2051 - Caroline St., reported his new car stolen from the 2700 block Stuart St. Not long after that a neighbor called and said he had se the car and Patrolmen

Does Hatch ‘Act Forbid Prayers?
DES MOINES, Ia., March 29 (U. P.) —The question of whether * a Minister's prayer could be taken as a violation of the Federal Hatch Act today puzzled Iowa’s
state Democratic chairman, E. H. Birmingham. Mr. Birmingham, in asking Atty. Gen. Robert H. Jackson for a ruling, explained that at the 1938 state Democratic convention prayer had been said by the Rev. D. Gwilym Roberts, a Presbyterian minister. But the Rev. Mr. Roberts works as a watchman for the National Youth Administration. “I hesitate to invite Dr. Roberts to open our 1940 convention with prayer. if this is illegal,” Mr. Birmingham wrote the attorney general. “Coyld we be punished under the law for praying upon such an occasion?”
TWINS. PARTED 26 YEARS SEATTLE, Wash., March 29 (U. P.)—Wide differences in environment changed ‘them but little, according to twin sisters separated 26 years ago by adoption when they were 5 days old. After many futile attempts, Mrs. Lloyd E. Esnouf and Miss Agnes Walters were reunited.
eon, who were Myestigating, sighted the car. They pursued it, firing shots at the tires, and in the first alley north of 25th St., on LaSalle St. three youths jumped from the car and fled. Patrolman McCutcheon said he ordered them to stop. When they refused, he shot one of the boys in
the leg. The other two were ar-|
rested shortly afterward. The manager of a filling station at 2801 Brookside Ave. told police some one stole $58.36 out of a desk drawer.
BROADER FIGHT | ‘ON GONORRHEA T0 BE PUSHED
Physicians Urged to Improve Reports as Step to Check . Transmission.
Indiana and Indianapolis private and public health medical groups today declared war on gonorrhea and determined to make the fight as. intense as the current drive on syphilis. The Indiana Board of Health, in a two-day session on venereal diseases, ending today at is new auditorium, emphasized the importance of expanding the battle against
‘| gonorrhea.
The meeting was attended by 400 doctors, nurses, investigators and laboratory technicians. The Indianapolis Medical Society, in its April Bulletin, devoted a long editorial to urging private physicians to make more and better reports on the disease and to co-op-erate with the City Board of Health in follow-up investigations. The principal concern: in both campaigns will be to see that infected persons continue with treatments until they no longer can transmit the disease to other people, and to seek out and bring under treatment persons who are sources of the disease and have not Sought medical aid.
| ‘Syphilis Drive Lauded
“Now that a drive against syphilis is well under way, the need of a similar attack on gonorrhea becomes imperative,” the Medical Society’s Bulletin said. Dr. Verne K. Harvey, State Health Commissioner, said that it was the drive on syphilis, which succeeded in bringing the matter before the public for the first time in a sensible and uninhibited way, that made possible the new drive on the other leading venereal disease. He added that the drive on gonorrhea is very likely to be facilitated by the new drug, sulfapyridine, which now is being tested and
almost as a specific. Physicians experimenting with the drug have reported that cases of gonorrhea have been ‘almost miraculously” arrested and believe that after another year or so of study of the case history they will be able to say definitely whether the cases have actually been cured, as well as arrested.
Cure Seen in New Drug
If the drug works as well as it now appears to do, sulfapyridine will be as great a boon to the fight against gonorrhea as it has now proven to be against pneumonia, they said. In any case, the fight will go on, Dr. Harvey says, with more and more stringent reporting, follow-up work, and quarantine activities. Even now, there is discussion among medical men, he said, about asking the next Legislature to provide free: medicine for indigent gonorrhea sufferers .as the State now does for indigent victims of syphilis. - Dr. Earvey pointed out that two laws enacted by the last Legislature and now in force—the bre-marriage and pre-natal tests for syphilis— have greatly accelerated the campaign against that disease.
Most of Stigma Gone
He also said that both diseases have very definitely lost part of their stigma in the public mind and that a greater number of persons are willing to report and treat cases. The bulletin said:

“Statistics indicate that less than half of our population escapes gonorrhea. At a conservative estimate, thi§ means that more than five times | as many people have gonorrhea as syphilis. Some think it is nearly twice that high. Many people have gonorrhea not only once, -but| two, three and even more times: “Official | records of the United States credit about 1000 deaths annuaily to the disease. Because of the social stigma attached to such infections, many deaths attributed to its effect are no doubt listed under other diagnoses. “In addition: are many deaths resulting from conditions which have resulted from infections years before.

Only One-half Seek Aid
“Only about one-half of the total number seek medical attention. The other million, in the meantime, are infecting countless others. “An investigator from the venereal disease division of the City Health {Board will shortly ‘begin contacting physicians through personal interviews, relative to running down contacts and, sources of venereal disease infection. The individuals whose names are given. by patients under treatment for venereal diseases, as the source of their infection, may then be contacted by the investigator and advised to see their own doctor for examination and

“Furthermore, in following the case up with this ‘doctor, it will be | possible to see that the individual does take ftreatment. Your cooperation is earnestly solicited.” | ie——————————

LONDON, March 2 (U. P)., — Britons are chasing away the blackout blues with unprecedented rounds of gaiety despite repeated official
come at any hour. A bottle of champagne, tickets to a musical comedy, a trumpet blaring “Scatterbrain”—those are the symbols of merry-making that has piled up phenomenal records for places of entertainment. in the last few weeks as a result of war-time tension and a blackout that makés London the ' darkest capital of Europe. : It has resulted, too, in a boom for underworld night clubs and rackets; according to the London Morality Council, which said its investigation showed an extraordinary increase in strip-tease eabarets and in gambling haunts. The splurge of gaiety is not confined to any one strata. Forty theaters are showing productions— 18 of them musical—that are crowded every night. Night clubs and restaurants are turning away customers. Here is a partial record of what Britons have done to offset the gloom of war at home and in public places: — Due to boredom-at home during the blackout, book sales increased by leaps .and bounds. Foyle’s, world’s largest book store, estimated that sales, heretofore averaging 5,000,000 a year, will exceed that figure by a half-million during 1940. The store’s book club, which offers members best sellers for 50 cents, now numbers 200,000 subscribers and is growing at the rate of 10,000 a month. A 4000 rental libraries report a 50 per cent increase in book circulation, Readers are demanding light reading and books on. questions of the day but America’s “Gone With the Wind” remains the best seller. Sales of radio sets, particularly portable models that can be taken to air raid shelters, jumped 50 per cent despite a 10 per cent increase in price. Sales of classical phonograph records increased 60 to 75 per

highest level in five years. Sentimental ballads, such as the evacuation song, “Good Night Little Children: Everywhere,” and “Somewhere in France,” had a run but the public now demands lighter tunes, such as “Statterbrain,” “Good Morning,” “Beer Barrel Polka” and “Franklin D. Roosevelt Jones.” Troops home on leave demanded
something more exciting than a good book. Movie theaters have shared in the blackout boom. The Leicester Square Empire is doing the biggest business in its 11-year history with Greta Garbo’s “Ninotchka,” while “Gulliver's Travels” is in its third month at the Carlton. Night clubs and restauzants re-
patronage—and gaiety. The rising popularity of “swing” music has brought what some proprietors regard as a new menace in the form of the jitterbug. “The Charleston was bad enough,” explained one, “but for America to foist this vulgar dance on us is too much. I don’t see how decent people can tolerate it.”
