He participated in the bank ‘holdup while «on ‘parole from a sentence for auto

sion, Crouch may ask for clemency again next year. The Commission today paroled seven other State Prison inmates, five of them to persons living outside the State,” who guaranteed them jobs. : Two of those: paroled - were ‘serving life terms for murder. They are Henry Stovall; convicted in St. Joseph Superior Court and sentenced in 1926 to a life-term for second degree murder, and John Benton, convicted in Vigo County and. sentenced in 1929, also to a lifesterm for second degree murder. Stovall is being paroled to a friend in Mississippi who told the Commission he had a job for him in a saw mill. Benton was paroled because evidence was presented before the Commission alleging that he should not have been convicted of a charge greater than manslaughter. Several persons connected with the trial testified that the fatal shooting for which he was sentenced was accidental. There was information on file according to Clemency Commission officials that Jesse Flanigan, the victim, made a statement before he died completely exonerating Benton and saying that the

definitely at the time of his first thorough examination whether or not he was going into the Army and give him from 30 to 60 days to settle his affairs if he was. Prevent Criticisms

As the present plan works, it is possible’ for a man to be passed by the civilian. examining board and certified ‘to the ‘Army, only to have the Army induction board turn him down later, causing a jumble in his personal affairs; Attending each new army board would be two civilian heart specialists, two ear, nose and throat specialists, one eye specialist, and two neuropsychiatric men, who would be paid at the rate of $15 per diem. ‘The new. plan also would relieve the .local . physician of the “onus” of having to pass on qualifications of home town boys. That there has been some criticism of local decisions in these matters was attested to by the address of Dr. Albert M. Mitchell, Association president, as he opened the business and scientific sessions of the convention today in the Claypool Hotel. He stated that criticism of the civilian boards has been unjust, and urged the doctors to take all the steps they can to see that the physical’ defects of the population that have been uncovered by selective service examinations be corrected. Yesterday at. the first meeting of the House of Delegates, D. John S. Leffel, chairman of the committee of medical relief, proposed that the Association take steps to see: that the administration of the new welfare act, as it applies to relief for the medically indigent, be as much

The new law goes into effect Jan. 1. “In the past,” he said, “the only governmental agent concerned about the methods and the cost of treatment of the indigent was your neighbor, the township trustee. His jurisdiction was limited to the township, his immediate neighborhood. “After the first of January the limit of jurisdietion of the governmental agent concerned about the treatment of the indigent extends not only to the County and the State but to the Federal Govern, ment in Washington.

Fears Dictation

“You will have a new governmental paymaster who will be granted dictatorial authority. . . . If you accept” State and Federal money, you may be compelled to accept the dictation of the Federal Security Board in Washington and the: State: Department of Public Welfare in Indianapolis.” Dr. Leffel said that there are. 120, -

Mr. Bosson, a Republican, will]

take office Jan. 1, giving the G. O.P. a 2-to-1 edge. The Democrats hold the advantage now. In a letter to Democratic Commissioner Harry Hohlt, Board president, he asked that action establishing new precincts be withheld un-

til next year, He pointed out.that|[}

the ‘law: does not require the job to be done until next March, and that in’the past the changes have been made at the March ‘meeting of the Cmmissioners. “This move to change precinct boundaries now rather than after jhe ash of the year, 8s ‘has always een ‘done e past, seems to me to.be & very obvious attempt on the part of the’ Democratic majority to gerrymander- the precincts’ to. the best’. advantage .of the Democratic party, énd to the detriment of the Republican party, Mr: Bosson wrote. “I “cannot : conceive of any Republican, withthe interests of - his party and. the citizens of Marion County at heart,: agreeing to this gerrymander.” -He warned that any action taken by the Commissioners now. would not be binding upon the new board organized after he assumes office. .

All Stages Die

All stages of the moth die in the United States each year. Some Of the moths stay in the tropics, the only group each year that survives. Next year the moths will start out from Central America again and will lay their eggs on cotton plants, then die. The eggs hatch into worms which in turn become pupae, and the pupae emerge as moths, then head north.
