SCHOOL 7 AGAIN RAISES A FLAG
Ceremony of 50 Years Ago Repeated, This Time With Four More Stars.
By EGAN LECK . When the pupils of Thomas Jefferson School 7 accepted a flag today from the Alvin P. Hovey Corps 196, the Women’s Relief Corps, there were 48 stars in the flag.
This is the standard number today, but once the pupils of School 7 raised a flag there, in fact, 50 years ago today. Then there were only 44 stars. The program today was a duplication of the one on Oct. 1, 1891. In both instances the children sang “America,” “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” and the “Star-Spangled Banner.”
Morgan Is Speaker
The program was held in the school playground, where since 1872 schoolchildren of Indianapolis have played. There aren't any swings or slides there, as some of the modern schools have, and there is a row of poplar trees on the north boundary of the yard. The trees weren't even seedlings when the first pupils of School 7 sang “America” and raised a flag. p DeWitt S. Morgan, superintendent of Indianapolis public schools, spoke, and Mrs. Madge Frady of Hovey post, made the presentation. It was accepted by Miss Eva Y. Wiles, school principal. The Technical High School brass choir, directed by Frederick A. Barker, played for the marching, and for the songs. Ralph W. Wright, director of music for the public schools, led the singing.
Enrollment Is Lower
The Thomas Jefferson School is at 748 Bates 8t.. The enrollment of 1891 was 590. Today it is 408. a gain of 30 over last year. The face of the neighborhood has changed, and where once there were nothing but residences, now there are warehouses, railroad tracks, coal yards and large, busy factories. But the little pupils of School 7 keep coming back to the yellowpainted brick building, just as they have for 69 years.

MARION MILEY FUNERAL TODAY
Mother of Slain Golfer Still in Coma; Hunt 2 for Questioning.
LEXINGTON, Ky., Oct. 1 (U. P.). —Marion Miley, 27-year-old topflight golfer, was to be buried today as police worked for the fourth day with only fragmentary clues to find the murderers who ended her career and critically wounded her mother. Her mother, Mrs. Fred Miley, 50, remained in a coma at St. Joseph's Hospital as the result of three stomach wounds suffered in the shooting Sunday morning in the swank Lexington Country Club, but investigating authorities were beginning to hope that she might recover sufficiently to be questioned. Hospital attendants believed Mrs. Miley might recover if she lived through today. Police in four states were still on the lookout for a youthful escaped convict with a flare for golf and dancing and an older convicted murderer for questioning in the hold-up slaying, but no trace of them had been uncovered. The slayers were believed to have taken $145 in receipts from a Saturday night dance at the club, although the discovery of $135 in untouched cash on the premises indicated robbery may not have been the only motive. The men sought were Forest Turner, 24, believed to have a taste for country club society, and Sam Scarborough, 41, who escaped from Georgia's “Little Alcatraz” prison camp at Dallas and were thought to be heading for Lexington to visit a cousin of Turner's. Meanwhile, the cream of Blue Grass Society, sports fans who had followed Miss Miley’s nine-year career as a nationally-ranking golfer and many other residents of Lexington where the Mileys were popular were expected to attend the young woman's funeral at 10 a. m. today at St. Peter’s Catholic Church.

Flynn Won't Slap Fidler A
By FREDERICK C. OTHMAN United Press Hollywood Correspondent
HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 1. — Errol Flynn, the night club terror, called Jimmy Fidler “a contemptible liar”
Shas he’d never again slap Fidler’s ace. Fidler, movie commentator, promised through his lawyer that he'd not make any cracks about Flynn, and Judge Cecil D. Holland of Beverly Hills Municipal Court closed the case of Hollywood's latest night club brawl Judge Holland called Flynn in for a conference after Fidler demanded Flynn's arrest on assault and battery charges. “Members of the motion picture industry work hard,” began Flynn. “The Hollywood press also works hard and with a great deal of integrity, but Fidler does not print the truth. I have found him to be a contemptible liar.” Judge Holland suggested that movie hero Flynn stick to what happened in the Mocambo night club two Saturday nights ago. Flynn said he took one look at
Fidler. :
then gave his word to the judge]
'a creature who is allowed to live on
“And ~ everything kind of went black,” he continued. “I think I grabbed him, but I was pulled away.
Then I told him I couldn’t hit him, but I'd give him the palm of my hand. I did slap him. “I am not the kind of man who goes in for undignified behavior, but this business in Washington particularly provoked me, when Fidler started telling those Senators how the movie business should be run. It was a smear on the industry. He is
the film industry’s garbage and that testimony of his drove me out of my mind.” * The judge wanted to know whether Fidler’s wife, Bobbe, the dress shop operator, had stabbed Flynn in the ear with a fork. “I remember,” the judge said, “that Mrs. Fidler reported after the fracas that she had three broken finger nails.” = “Well, I didn’t find any fingernails in my ear,” Flynn retorted. “All I found was a hole.”
Flynn assured Judge Holland that|’
he’d never slap Fidler again. “You have no right to slap him,” the Judge said.
y
nr gain, Jimmy Won't Mention the Actor Again—Brawl Case Closed ,
“Yes,” broken in Flynn, “but many others, mostly women, have been at the mercy of Fidler’s innuendo. They have had no defense, I—-." “You have no right to be a cham= pion for these women,” the judge said. “To find you in a. bar room brawl takes the heart out of a lot of people. The children who made you a hero have been let down. You owe it to the public to live in a glass house. Will you do it?” Flynn said he would. . Fidler’s attorney, promised that Fidler never would mention Flynn on the air.
