TWO KILLED IN CROSSING CRASH

Driver and Fireman Die as Fast Train Hits Truck At South Bend.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. Oct. 18 (U. P.).—A truck driver and a locomotive fireman were Killed today in |a railroad crossing wreck which de{railed the engine of a fast Chicago(New York freight train and tied {up traffic on the New York Central’s main line for hours. The dead are F. D. Roth of Elkhart, fireman on the engine, and Joseph Toplak, 49, of South Bend, truck driver for the Bendix Products Co. here.

Toplak was driving a truck from the Bendix plant to the dumping iground with a load of rubbish when the fast freight struck him. The truck's gasoline tank exploded, spraying Toplak with the flaming liquid. The train continued on the tracks for more than a mile when the

DRAFT QUOTA OF ‘Old 877. Grandpappy of

Prediction for November Call Based on Ratio Of Population.

By EARL RICHERT

While awaiting orders from Washington on the various draft call quotas for Indiana, Selective Service officials got out their pencils and did a little unofficial estimating today. : On the basis of their figures, Indiana will furnish approximately 750 of the first national call of 30,0000 announced for mid-Novem-ber. Of the 750, an estimated 98 would be from Marion County. The officials reached these figures by population ratio.

The former Governor said “the | Democratic Party never has been | against business.” “The critics seem to forget the | financial crackup of 1930, the sui-.- | cides of 1931 and the breadlines of 11932,” Mr. McNutt said. “Our country has only 6 per cent {of the world’s population, but it has 145 per cent of the world's wealth, and yet the country was literally =. prostrate in 1932 because of 12 years of governmental bungling. “I don’t like the wealthy theory of ‘government, but I do like the 2 Democratic theory of government—..=: it feeds the hungry.”

Draft boards:-in several Indiana counties are well along with their task of numbering the cards of the registrants, Selective Service official said. Brown County, with a total registration of 511, completed the numbering yesterday, and several other theirs today. | Marion County Clerk Charles R.| Ettinger announced today that the cards of the county’s ‘60.000 registrants were ready to turn over to the local drait boards. | As soon. as a local board completes | the numbering of the cards, it is] to post a list of the names of the| serial numbers outside the door of | its headquarters. Another list is to be sent to the newspapers. Preparing for Lottery These serial numbers are to be drawn in a national lottery in| Washington late this month and| will determine the order in which | the individual's case will be consid-| ered by the local draft board. | 8, which has\jurisdiction over Ward | 11 and Precincts 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 12 and 13 of Ward 8, has the largest number of registrants of any board in the state—5466. However, this! number may be reduced when the board completes the sorting of its cards and sends the cards of registrants of other areas to their proper boards. : tion of the downtown area and the heavy registration is believed to be due to the large number of persons who registered near their place of work rather than in their home precinct. The youth of the nation “is leaning heavier upon government than Henry PF.

Robinson, Butler president, who referred to the candidate as a “friend of higher education.” The convocation was sponsored by the American Government and Citizenship Classes of which Dr. Franklin L. Burdett is director. Mr. Schricker said “no small part of the New Deal program in Indiana has been devoted to the young peo“Large sums of money have been appropriated for the NYA and CCC and other youth programs.” He declared the Democratic Administration came into power because the previous administrations “had failed to solve the problems of the people.” “The Democratic Party is buildling better citizens for tomorrow,” of dollars for education.” Mr. Schricker praised Butler University and other colleges of the state as “having saved the taxpayers from large expenditures for higher education.” Glen R. Hillis, the Republican candidate for Governor, spoke at a similar Butler convocation last week. oa
