Bob Burns, Tunney Here

Bob Burns and Gene Tunney will gppear on the Youth Day program at the grandstand Friday night, Aug. 29, through the courtesy of the National Marine Corps League, which is bringing the two headliners to Indianapolis for its convention. The WLS Barn Dance—five hours of entertainment—will be in the Coliseum the following night—Aug. 80. Last year, the Coliseum, including seats on the playing floor, was filled and thousands were turned away. Milt Britton and his crazy band will present a side splitting entertainment at the night show. The band's program winds up with the players arguing and banging each cther around with their violins and horns in a mad free-for-all. The band’s contract calls for $50 a performance to cover repairs to the instruments.

‘Rerun’ Hambletonian

Headlining the harness races will be the Horseman Stake for 3-year-olds Labor Day. Billy Gallon, winner of the recent Hambletonian race, together with most of the other competitors in the famous Hambletonian and several other fast horses will be entered in this race which is expected to be virtually a “rerunning of the Hamblstonian.” The Floyd Jones Mixed Choir of 200 voices will sing a program of hymns, spirituals and classics in the Coliseum the opening night of the Fair

U.S. STEEL NOW FIGHTING C. 1. 0.

Contract Now May Lose Yard to Government.

By EDWIN A. LAHEY

ton. Four vears ago, the great United States Steel Corp. startled its neighbors on the lower end of Manhattan by recognizing the C. I. O.

The simple demands of the C. I. O. have in the meanwhile progressed, and today that same United States Steel Corp., whose neighbors felt a little let down in 1937, appeared willing to surrender a gigantic shipbuilding plant to the Government (at fair surrender value) rather than grant a modified form of the closed shop to its C. I. O. employees.

The plant is the Kearny, N. J, vard of the Federal Shipbuilding and Drydock Corp. a subsidiary of Big Steel. Some 18000 C, I. O. workers have been on strike there for 11 days, during which time work has ceased on $493,000,000 worth of naval construction.

Refuse Government Disposal

The National Defense Mediation Board has recommended that the company end the strike by granting a union contract to the C. I. O. shipbuilders, with a “rhaintenance of membership” clause in it.

union must remain members of it| during the life of the contract. The company has steadfastly refused to follow the recommendation of the Mediation Board, and if lastminute appeals of President Roosevelt and other Government officials fail to move the company, the Government will take the plant over. It will be a complete and vermanent taking over, labor officials here believe, unlike the temporary takeover of the North. Amer-

The meeting will open at 7:45 p. m.

Labor officials believe that the heads of U. S. Steel, owners of the Federal Shipbuilding Corp, are making a stand on the issue because they believe that to grant the “maintenance of membership” clause would be to invite organized labor,

quanited him with the facts. In the meantime, it is believed, the President has been with one hand trying to persuade the corpo‘ration to follow the recommendation of the Mediation Board, with the other hand signing an executive Ofer for the seizure of the shipyard.

LOSE SUIT TO BLOCK POST ROAD WIDENING

A petition of six land owners for an injunction to prevent the State Highway Commission from taking their land to widen Post Road, has been denied by Judge Russell Ryan in Superior Court 3. The property owners claimed widening and raising of the road would ruin their private drainage systems. “I'm not going to enjoin the government, "Judge Ryan said. “The road is going to be built.” Widening and paving of the road was asked by the War Department to facilitate movement of troops from Ft. -Harrison.

help these frail children spending the summer at the

The large—and obviously comfortable—playroom indoors, is one of the favorite spots.

Husky, Bronzed Youngsters Good Ad for Christmas Seals

By ROGER BUDROW Christmas seals really ought to be sold in the summertime. They ought to be sold at the Julia Jameson Nutrition Camp near clause, a union protection device, Bridgeport when ail those frail, undernourished children are out there requires that workers joining the getting husky and bronze from good food and sunshine.

Visitors to the camp along Lick Creek southwest of Indianapolis inevitably come back full of determination to do more than just buy

imore Christmas seals next winter. Because it doesn't take any imagination to see what nine weeks or so out there can do for a young fellow whose ribs and shoulder blades show all too plainly or a little girl who has dark circles around her eyes and who iacks pep.

There are 100 of them out there now. They came because their

tors thought they needed it. Needed

much next winter because of sickness, needed it to get over completely the effects of some children's disease such as rickets or chorea, needed it so they will be able to resist dreaded tuberculosis.

None of the children at the camp has tuberculosis but many come from homes where they have been exposed to it.

Prescription Starts at 7

The prescription begins at 7 in the morning with flag-raising ceremonies and ends about 9 at night with a song-fest. Between those times are three square meals, all kinds of games and sports and plenty of rest. After breakfast, they make their beds, clear off the breakfast dishes and dry them and set the dinner table. Then comes a baseball game or a swim in the creek or anyone of several dozen outdoor games.

Or if it's bad weather outside, there are all kinds of indoor games and handicraft. After an hour’s rest they are ready for dinner. They are always ready to eat and how the cooks and staff like to watch them eat! Two cups of milk, green vegetables and fresh fruit, meat three times a week and always a good dessert.

“Tired Out Resting”

After the dinner there is a second rest period—a two-hour one this time. A newcomer at the beginning of camp this summer complained that he was getting “tired out just resting” but he changed his mind in a few days. Another play period precedes supper. Often entertainers come out from Indianapolis theaters to put on a show for the youngsters. The applause is terrific. After supper, softball games and croquet are played until it is too dark to play anymore. Then comes a “show” staged by the children themselves with no coaching by the camp staff. The “program” varies from night to night although, of course, the favorites are called upon frequently to repeat their stunts. These shows are held in what could be called the lobby of the main building, although the children cal} it “the day room.” It is of Scandinavian design—from the

big clock and fireplace to the tables and chairs that have horses’ heads carved on them. The colorful room is by long odds the favorite place to read and play indoors.

Set for Sunshine

The building has two dormitories now, the second wing having been added in time for this year’s camp|ers. The sleek, modern building is |of light-colored brick and is set at such an angle as to obtain all the sunshine possible. Putting on needed weight and getting plenty of sunshine and rest aren't the only benefits of the camp. Visitors remark about the way the campers straighten up their “day room” after games or a show and how neat the dormitories are. And there is a genuine courtesy and thoughtfulness that couldn’t just be “put on” when company is around. But probably the most important thing these frail children learn is what to eat—and why they should eat it. The Marion County Tuberculosis Association, which operates the camp, keeps track of all those who attend the camp to see that the good from those summer months in the country is not lost. Long Waiting List There is always a long waiting list of children who have been recommended for the camp but can’t attend because of limited funds. Christmas seals furnish much of the money and persons who have the means, organizations and service clubs donate a great deal also. The organization is not affiliated with the Community Fund. The children spend just one summer at the camp. A new group is taken each year. But if there is a vacancy a deserving youngster may be given a second year. Miss Mary McClelland, who is camp director, will tell you that the average child gains five pounds during his stay. One boy has put on 17 pounds already this summer and there still are a few places on him that need “filling out.” But he and all the others will go home this week as camp ends. There's going to be some mighty surprised parents and playmates when they see what has happened to. those 100 campers this summer.

A delegation of South Side resithree ministers

manding that an application to open a new Shelby St. tavern be denied. An application had been filed with the board for a permit to open a new tavern in the 2100 block of

| Shelby St.

Spokesmen for the delegation said that there are “already top many taverns in that neighborhood and we want to prevent any more taverns being opened.” The ministers who appeared with the delegation were the Rev.

GASOLINE RATIONING ORDER IS DUE TODAY

WASHINGTON, Aug. 18 (U. P.) — Defense Oil Co-ordinator Harold L. Ickes is expected today to recommend that oil companies devise an industry-wide plan for reducing gasoline deliveries to “blacked out” east coast filling stations by 10 per cent. His recommendation will be accompanied by an assurance, it was understood, that the joint action by the companies would not constitute a violation of the anti-trust laws. It was understood that Ickes has not projected a plan for reducing deliveries to filling stations, but will leave that problem to the industry. He already has told individual station owners that they must decide for themselves how they will apportion available supplies among consumers.

COUNCIL WILL MAP STRIKERS’ DEFENSE

The Richmond Defense Committee of the Indiana State Industrial Union Council has scheduled a conference on “Civil Liberties and the Richmond Affair” for Sept. 7 at Richmond. The discussion wll be about the strike early this year at the International Harvester Co. at Richmond. The conference has been called for three days before the first of 60 persons under indictment in connection with the strike is to go on trial.

EDMUND SCHNEDIER GETS BUTLER AWARD

Edmund Schneider of New Middletown, Ind., has been awarded a scholarship to Butler University for the 1941 fall semester, Dr. Henry G. Nester, scholarship committee chairman, announced today. The scholarship was awarded the most outstanding high school graduate in Harrison County, based on scholarship, personality and character.

All the witnesses gave police amazed accounts of how efficient the brakes on the car were—how quickly the car stopped. And police agree that because of this, Indianapolis’ week-end traffic toll might have been two more, and two little girls might be dead or very seriously injured. It happened at 5:30 p. m. yesterday in the 1100 block of W. New York St. Eleven-year-old Margaret Stevens, 2616 McPherson St., was carrying two-year-old Barbara Ann Rainey, 1043 W. Michigan St.

Margaret stepped into the street in the path of a car driven by Cecil Light, Cleveland, O., and Mr. Light's car responded almost instantaneously to the brakes. Margaret was struck slightly, receiving a bruise that was not serious enough even for the attention of a doctor. Barbara Ann was unhurt.

Witnesses and police complimented Mr. Light and he drove on.

Some of the other accidents in the State over the week-end resulted less fortunately. Nine persons died of injuries received in traffic, one of them the victim of an Indianapolis crash.
