Ludlow Says Harrison Act
‘Seeks Congress 0. K., ,
Does Not Appropriate.
‘By DANIEL M. KIDNEY 2 Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, May 21. — Rep. ~Louis Ludlow (D. Ind.) declared today that he wants to make clear that the $5,000,000 bill he has introduced in the House for the Benjamin Harrison memorial in Indiana “does not appropriate one cent.”
“The customary procedure, - which|
is being followed in this case, is first, to have Congress auth the proj“ect and then put the ount au‘thorized into an appropriation bill. ‘Rep. Ludlow is a: member of the -- Appropriations Committee. He issued the following statement: - “In view Wf the discussion that has arisen in regard to the advisability of pressing the Benjamin - Harrison Memorial Bill at this time, ‘becduse of the necessity of holding “down non-defense appropriations, I ‘will call attention,to the fact that the bill tRat has been introduced by Senators n Nuys and Willis and myself does: not appropriate one cent. : Purpose of the Bill “It is an authorization bill and its effect, if passed, would be merely to put the stamp of approval of Congress on the memorial forestry project as desirable link in the development of the forestry system -and a suitable means of honoring the twenty-third President, but it carries no appropriation. “The matter of an appropriation - would have to be thrashed out later "ina separate measure in the light of the condition of the Treasury and all of the circumstances then exist- © Ing. © “The Benjamin Harrison Memorial Commission, created under legislation sponsored last year by Senator Minton and myself, has freely devoted an enormous lot of hard work to the discharge of its respon- * sibilities, without’ compensation, and * has returned more than a third of its expense appropriation to the “Treasury.

RULING ON ICE CREAM| ‘GHALLENGED IN SUIT
A suit to determine the disposition of 1080 gallons of ice cream in the storage rooms of the Tompkins Ice Cream Co., 2929 Northwestern Ave, was on file in‘ Circuit Court today. The action was brought by -the County Prosecutor’s office in behalf of the State Health Board, which has condemned the ice cream on the ground that its content of butter fat was below standards fixed by State Board regulations. Harry Ice, attorney for the ice cream firm, said he will fight the condemnation action on the ground that the Health Board’s regulations are illegal. “There is no question of the cream’s purity in this action,” Mr. Ice said. “The. only question is the
‘validity of the board’s regulations.”
The suit asked Circuit Court to determine the _disposition of the cream.
- “Having done its part so acceptit ‘seems to me that the Commission is entitled to the Congressional judgment on the feasibility ang desirability of . the project. “A hearing before the Library Committées of the House and Senate will depend” on the wishes of the Commission. If held it will be :solely on the merit of the plan of memorial proposed and the question of an appropration will be left for
uture consideration. personally think the Commission should have an opportunity now to present its plan to Congress when the results of its investigations are freshly in mind and consideration of the necessary appropriation can wait until the time is ~ more opportune. “I shall consult the Commission during the next few days and if it desires to be heard a hearing can easily be arranged.” Both Indiana Senators said they will not push the measure in the Senate at this time.
DELAY BIOFF TRIAL; J HOLLYWOOD, May 21 (U. P.).— The importance of William Bioff to the nation’s defense preparations today enabled the pudgy film ‘labor leader to gain a three months postponement of his ‘trial on charges of evading payment of $85,000 in income taxes. Federal Judge Paul J. McCormick . continued Bioff’s trial until the September “term of the court when “"Bioff’s counsel explained that his client had been appointed to take charge of technical crews producing a series of films designed to aid the Army in instruction ef recruits. .The appointment was made ‘by George Browne, president of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees of which Bioff is an international representative. Bioff’'s attorney admitted that neither the Federal Government nor . Army authorities had requested the _ labor leader’s services. Judge McCormick allowed the postponement when - government attorneys offered no objection. Assist- - ant U. 8. Attorney William F. Hall said the prosecution welcomed the "postponement as it had not yet com- . pleted its case against Bioff. ;

Hip Broken, He Flees Nazis; Wants 'Another Go at Them’
By JAN YINDRICH' United Press Staff Correspondent -
WITH THE BRITISH IN BESIEGED ‘TOBRUK, May 9 (De-
layed) .—A 22-year-old boy from the
Australian sheep country lay in Tobruk’s bomb-blasted hospital today
and told me how he crawled 600 yards in 60 hours with a broken hip to reach the British lines after being captured by the Germans. The youngster was a sheepshearer at Mount Gambier in South Australia before the war. - It started, he told me, on a Saturday night when he went out into No Man’s Land as a member of a Bren gun crew. Here is his story: “We were making for the German trenches and then swung to tne right. The Germans were threatened by a flanking movement and started to run so we tore into them. Some of our lads got going with their bayonets and our Bren gun
blazed away. “I don’t know how many Germans
there were but the next morning there were about 50 of them on the ground, dead. “About 11 o'clock that’ night’ I was shot through the thigh and the
.;bone was shattered.
Our fellows laid me down in a shellhole. “I lay there all night and the next day. Shells were whizzing overhead. Then the Germans apparently returned because. two youngsters of about 20 picked me up and carried me. to their lines. “I-had been there about 15 minutes when our artillery barrage started. Some: of the Germans scrambled out and others huddled at one end of the trench and left me at the other. “I didn’t want to bea prisoner: of
war so I crawled from the trench.
I dragged myself all that night and the next day. I lay out in the open desert the next night because of
~ {the dust.
“With bullets zipping around me, I started crawling the next day. As I thought I ‘was nearing our own lines I got on a heap of stones and shouted: ‘Come and take me. I'm a wounded Aussie.’ ° NT crawled altogether about 600 yards those two nights and two days and got within 80 yards of our lines. Then they came out and brought me ip “I'lost a lot of blood but my thigh is healing ‘all right. All I want is a chance to go back and have another go at: them.”
which will investigate accidents in the future. . The new ‘system will result in expanding the department's technical investigation of accidents, Chief ‘Morrissey told Safety "Board members who yesterday approved the idea. “The use of. the - district - squad cars will virtually double the personnel and effectiveness of accident investigation,” Chief Morrissey declayed.
district cars as soon as cameras and other equipment for investigating accidents is installed, Chief Morrissey said. ; .
Would Save Time At present traffic accidents are
24 men who cruise in 12 cars. These
shifts and there are four cars to each shift. By distributing trained investigators to the district patrol cars, the number of cars which would
raised to 24. Instead of a squad operating from
accident-prevention work. 300 Men Trained
Although the 24 men on the present squad are highly trained as investigators, approximately
ately, the Chief said. He told the Board that the extension of the investigating work would. create a larger group of experts for the apprehension of traffic violators as well as accident investigation.
School 29, 2101‘ College Ave., will turn out at 7 p. m. Friday to entertain their parents with dances and exercises at the school’s annual May. Festival. A fair will be fonducted by the school P.-T. A.” Proceeds will be used to purchase rugs
