ROBBINS TELLS OF DANGERS TO ~ 1.S.ISOLATION

Hope of Keeping Clear Of War, He Says.

The only hope for isolationists in|.

the United States is the hope of an early Allied victory, Dr. Roy Robbins, head of the department of history and political science at Butler University, declared today. . “The cause of war ‘cannot be legislated out of existence unless America is completely isolated from the rest of the world and that is

utterly impossible in this day and |

.age,” he said” in addressing the Butler University Current Events Forum

“It must be noted that the outstanding cause of our entrance into the World War was psychological; it was based upon a profound sympathy for the democracies of the world and an ever-increasing hatred of autocracy.

Charges Allied Sympathy

“Our cash-and-carry policy is not a policy of neutrality. It is a foreign policy which is founded upon a deep sympathy for Britain and France which tends to bring us closer and closer to active participation. «It must be remembered that ‘money is being spent at a rate 5 to 8 times as fast as during World War I. What will be our foreign policy when the Allied Powers have spent their ready cash? “Besides the rapid exhaustion of Allied credits, more immediate critical points on our foreign horizon —any one of which will bring us nearer to the war—are: “The danger of Italy joining Germany; the increasing naval power of Japan and her recent statement that in case the Netherlands are overrun, she will consider . it her responsibility to seize the Dutch East Indies; the breaking of the North Sea and Baltic blockade by Germany; a German thrust into the Netherlands, Sweden or the Balkans;

Cites Other Perils §

“Also an increasing sympathy for England and France and a rising fear of the totalitarian powers; a recent decline in the isolationist sentiment among the Scandinavian elements of the Northwest, and politics in this country, in which during the Presidential campaign we may have certain emotional politicians, who, keen on personal publicity, may so work on the emotions of the public as to precipitate us into war.” Prof. Warren Rex Isom of the history department said that the war was demonstrating the fallacy of the “class struggle” theory of history and that Russia's invasion of Finland had shown that “communism’ is only another road taken by dictators, not a hope for working men.” Prof. Isom predicted that “in the near future capital and labor again will work together with the Marxfan theory cast aside and that neither will regard the other as its mortal enemy. Thus real democracy will be possible and society will benefit.” ; Other speakers were Dr. D. S. Robinson, University president; Dr. Merwyn G. Bridenstine, associate professor of economics; Prof. A. ‘Pale Beeler of Dr. Robbins’ department, and Dr. James Hedley Peeling, sociology department head.

EQUIPMENT SOUGHT AT BROOKSIDE AREA

A delegation of the East TwentyFirst Street Civic League will appear before the Park Board soon to seek playground equipment for the new Brookside Park extension at 21st St. and Sherman Drive. . League members said that WPA workers had planted trees and had constructed a bicycle track but no action has been taken to equip the area. The league met at School 68 last night with Oscar Butler presiding. An offering was taken to pay the costs of league membership in'the Indianapolis Federation of Community Civic Clubs. .

School 68.

SOCIAL SECURITY FOR ~ LAWYERS OPPOSED

Harrison White, Republican candidate for the 12th District Congressional nomination, today issued a statement criticizing another candidate’s suggestion that social security might be extended to certain groups not now covered, including lawyers. «1t is unthinkable,” Mr. White said, “that the lawyers should come under social security or that a numper should take the place of their individuality rather than their name. The dignity of the profession should counter any such proposal. ge ~ «Let us do away with all law-en-forcing agencies except the courts and give the lawyer a chance to live and grace his profession with dignity and honor, together with @ respite for the taxpayer.”

EQUITABLE PAY 1S OWENS AIM

Worker Must Receive More Than Subsistence Wage, Says Candidate.

Some plan must be devised to provide workers with more than a subsistence income, Ernest E. Owens, Republican candidate for representative from the 12th District said last night. He spoke at a Republican Rally at Trinity Hall, corner of 21st St. and Boulevard Place. He. said “the problem of the depression will be-solved by the restoration of free enterprise and that relief is not enough. % Such humanitarian measures as old age pensions and unemployment insurance are agreed upon by both parties, he said, but the parties differ in means of administration. He said. the New Deal had been wasteful and that it had “created more problems than it had solved.”

Urges Reduction in Government Costs

Taxes can be reduced without great effort by reducing the costs of Government agencies through

the elimination of over-lapping agencies, Max M. Plesser, Republican candidate for the Legislature, said at a rally last night at 3641 Guilford Ave. ; He announced a six-point program as follows: Reduction of taxes, economic State government, return of initiative to business, repeal of laws creating arbitrary boards, selection of judges on a nonpolitical basis and a city manager plan for Indianapolis. He said he has adopted as his campaign slogan: “They are governed best, who are governed least.”

White Says New Deal ‘Sahotages’ Farms

Harrison White, Republican candidate for representative from the 12th District, last night accused the New Deal of “sabotaging the farms of America’ with weeds in the name of ‘conservation’ under the camouflage of ‘democracy.’ ” He said youth’s chance had been taken from him, that the NYA, the CCC and the AYC were “sabotaging America’s young people.” He declared that business had been “strangled” and the people in general had been “sabotaged” by the New Deal preserving and continuing the “emergency” of spending. Mr. White spoke at a Republican rally at Trinity Hall, corner of 21st St. and Boulevard Place.

U.S. HOUSING PLANS ATTAGKED BY STARK

The Government's housing plans were attacked at a Republican rally at Trinity Hall last night by Judson L. Stark, Republican candidate for Representative from the 12th District. Mr. Stark said building had come to a standstill, slum clearance projects had failed, the low-cost housing plan for low-income groups was a failure and that trade was suffering from lack of private enterprise in construction. More than four million new homes. are needed in the country and there is no building, he said. Slum clearance projects move the slums to a different place, he added. He said it had been proven that a Federal subsidy would not accomplish its purpose because of discriminatory competition and that private capital should be allowed to solve its own problem.

PUZLLE BABY'S' ~ MOTHER ‘DETAINED

A 17-year-old mother who left her 4-months-old son at the home of Mrs. LeRoy Alderson, 418 Chadwick St., Wednesday afternoon today was held in the Juvenile Detention Home pending an investigation by Juvenile Court authorities.

Mrs, Alderson told police the woman, whom she has known for several years, left the baby, saying she would return at 10:30 p. m. with some food. She did not return, however.

GARAGE SPACE PROPOSALBDIES:

For Coping With Overnight Parking Evil.”

| - A proposal to amend the City

Zoning Ordinance to require apartment builders to provide a given

lack of a sponsor, it was learned today, ; ph The proposal

was made by the

streets of overnight . parking. But the idea lapsed into oblivion when the Board's attempt to take immediate action on the all-night parking problem resulted in the repeal of an. ordinance prohibiting it.

Space Under 50 Per Cent

The proposal was based on a survey made by City Building Commissioner George R. Popp Jr. The survey showed that there was garage space for less than 50 per cent of the automobiles owned by occupants of apartment houses.

of the overnight parking problem was the failure of apartment owners to supply free garages and the reluctance of motorists to store their cars in rental garages. »

‘Other Cities Use Plan

Mr. Popp suggested that the Zoning Law might be amended to require apartment builders to provide garage space. for between 40 and 60 per cent of the number of dwelling units in the apartment. This plan, however, has been carried out in other cities, notably Evanston, Ill. In Evanston, builders of row houses and theaters as well as apartments must provide offstreet parking facilities—one parking space or garage for every two dwelling units or, in the case of theaters, for every 10 seats. Evanston officials believe that this requirement will eliminate much of the parking which has become a traffic hazard in that city.

BUS DRIVER FREED IN PEDESTRIANS DEATH

Theodore Edwards, 35, a Peoples Motor Coach Co. operator, who backed over and fatally injured John Schmidt April 2, yesterday was freed of charges of reckless homicide ard reckless driving in Municipal Court 3.

Judge Pro Tem. James A. Collins held that evidence did not support the charges. He said the only thing Mr. Edwards could have been guilty of was neglect, stating the law provides a person may back up a vehicle if there is no oncoming traffic within 500 feet. Mr. Schmidt, 74, of 1502 N. Dearborn St. a railway mail clerk, alighted from the bus at 4 a. m. at Illinois and Washington Sts. He

‘|then walked behind it. As he did,

Mr. Edwards backed up the bus. Although Mr. Edwards stopped the bus immediately, Mr. Schmidt died at City Hospital three hours later. Before the accident Mr. Edwards had received a plaque from his company for winning a safe-driv-ing contest, driving 500,000 miles without an accident.
