Tragédy Grint Reminder of Traffic’ Peril to 65 000 “Pupils on Vacation.
As 65,000 Indianapolis school children today began their first full day of spring: ‘vacation, they were grimly reminded of the perils of city traffic by the death of one of their number under, wheels of 1 truck. Soon after she had completediher last lesson yesterday 'in the third grade of School 12, Helen Lois Watson, | 10, ran across the intersection of Missouri and Merrill Sts. » A truck, driven west on Merrill St. by Ancil McGinnis, 22] of 2534 Guilford Ave. struck the child, Helen Lois was dragged 25 feet before the truck was brought to a stop. Police said skid marks showed that the truck stopped 80 feet after the brakes were applied.

West St. Police called an ambulance and Mrs. Watson accompanied her daughter to City Hospital. As they lifted Helen Lois from the ambulance to carry her into the receiving ward, she died. Mr. McGinnis was charged by police ‘with reckless driving and having inadequate brakes. His case was continued to April 16, by Judge Charles J. Karabell in Municipal Court 4 and ond was set at $1800.

State Gross Income Tax collections on 1939 income set a new all-time high of $23,179,713.66, Gil-
Division director, announced today.

Governor i It, but Doctor Terms it ‘Crazy Stuff.’
It was just about this time of the year that Grandma of yesterday would brew a generous potion of sulphur and molasses and prescribe it. as a Spring tonic for the entire family, And some Grandmothers still do. For one, there's Mrs. Flora Foredyce, 71, of 260 S. Arlington Ave., affec-
tionately known as “Mom” throughout a great portion of the East Side. “I'm going to fake some as soon as I get the sorghum,” Mom Foredyce said. “And I don't care what some of the doctors might think, I still think it's good for the little ones. I have six grandchildren.” % There are pros and cons in the argument over) the value of the ancient remedy. One doctor who has been prescribing to Indianapolis ills for 48 years, termed it “crazy stuff” with nothing more than an imaginative value. But sulphur and molasses—a teaspoonful of sulphur to clear the biood and a half teaspoonful of molasses to kill the taste, which it didn’t—has a champion in Governor M. Clifford Townsend. “I took it,” he| said, “and lots of it. I don’t know whether it was the sulphur or the molasses or both or the psychology, but it always made me well.” Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan, however, is one who| missed the bitterness of the dose. “I don’t believe my mother ever gave me any,”’ he said.. “It sounds like terribly tasting stuff and if I'd ever taken any I surely would have remembered. I guess I've lived these 64 years without it. Oh, no, I don’t think I'll start now.” .

WASHINGTON, March 30 (U.P.). —Republicans and Western Democrats, defeated by three votes in an
Strain Put fon Relations| When Envoys Are Accused Of War {Meddling.’
WASHINGTON, March 30 (U. P.).—Official denials and Congressignal resentment of German charges that the United States helped bring about the European war appeared today to have dimmed the possibility of an early easing of strained German-Ameri-can relations. A Nazi White Book published yesterday in Berlin, charged that documents reportedly seized from Polish archives quoted Ambassador William C. Bullitt, American Ambassador to France, as saying that Germany and Russia should be encouraged to fight each other and that the United States would later aid the Allies—by entering the war if necessary—when they attacked a weakened Germany. It also purported to show through Mr. Bullitt the attitude of President Roosevelt in regard to American isolation and possible aid to the Allied powers. Joseph P. Kennedy, American Ambassador to Great Britain, also was accused in the White Book ‘of having shaped responsibility for the European war through’ pressure on London for cash assistance to Poland. In London Mr. Kennedy refused comment.

He predicted that the Houseapproved resolution to extend the plan for three years would be passed either Tuesday or Wednesday without amendment. The Pittman bloc claimed strong support for an amendment by Senator Joseph C.' O'Mahoney (D. Wyo.) to gequire both chambers to pass on future trade agreements by majority vote. Under. the ratification proposal, the agreements would have been defined as treaties requiring approval by; a two-thirds vote of the Senate. “I have no fear of the O'Mahoney amendment,” Senator Harrison said. “Our real fight was on the Pittman amendment, and I'm glad it’s over.” Two Democrats — Senators Vic Donahey, of Ohio, and Harry H. Schwartz, of Wyoming—were the key figures in yesterday’s narrow decision. The position of both was in doubt until almost the last moment, (Continued on Page Three)
Paulette Tops, Artists Decide
HOLLYWOOD, March 30 (U. P.).—Six artists today chose Paulette Goddard, brunet actress, as the “girl with the most beautiful body in the world.”
Jefferson Machamer, creator of the “Machamer girl” and chairman of an artists’ committee, announced the selection. “Artists have sought the ideal model through the ages, and rarely have found a perfect combination of face and figure in the same person. Miss Goddard has such a combination, and also has a vivacious personality that is rare indeed,” he said. He said curves will continue to be assets-and the boyish figure

President Roosevelt, at his press conference, said that one should take with a grain of salt—he later boosted it to three grains of salt— any propaganda coming from Europe at the present time.
Hull Issues Statement
Secretary of State Cordell Hull, in .a formal statement, said that neither he nor any other State Department official gave ‘the..!slightest credence” to the statements contained in the documents. Ambassador Bullitt denied having told the Polish Ambassador to this country that the United States

Term Issue.
By NOBLE REED Postmaster General James A. Farley, in Indianapolis today to address Indiana postmasters, talked freely “off-the-record”: about the U. S. Treasury probe of the Democratic Two Per Cent Club activities. However, he declined to permit’ any of his remarks about it to be
used for publication.
“I don’t want to be placed in the position ‘of criticizing another department of government,” he said. The National Democratic Chairman, : discussing national politics, said that election of a Republican President “would result in a great economic upset.”
Says Nation Backs Democrats
“We find that the people of the nation want retention of the Demo-
Jeratic Administreation because the
Democrats are better able to carry on the work already started, ” he said. Mr. Farley declined to comment publicly on the third-term question. “I -have no right to speak for President Roosevelt on the thirdterm question, but we all have our own personal ideas about those things—it's better that I don’t comment publicly,” Mr. Farley said. Asked, to comment on Mr. M:Nutt’s Presidential aspirations, Mr. Farley said he didn’t want to “get involved in issues between candidates for the nomination.” In answer to questions about his informal declaration of candidacy for the Presidential nomination himself, he said: “What I said recently in Massa-
chusetts still stands.”
‘Up to Delegates’
He was gitoted. terview in Massachusetts that “my name will be placed beforé the National Democratic convention and that’s that.” He contended that he had been misquoted in the East “but I won't try to change it now,” he said. Asked what he thought about a| “Farley-McNutt ticket,” Mr. Farley laughed and said: “That's all up to the delegates at the convention—that’s what we elect delegates: for, to nominate whom ever they want.” ~~ He also declined to comment on| the Democratic race for the gubernatorial nomination here between R. Earl Peters and Lieut. Gov. Henry F. Schricker. “The people of Indiana, as in any other state, always resent an out-
