Every Hoosier Citizen Is Mortgaging His Future to Pay

2 For Defense, Asserts Congressman; Says

Public Must Guard Spending.

By DANIEL

M. KIDNEY

Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.—Indiana contributes nearly

$850,000,000 to lend-lease, and the state’s share in a 100-billion-dollar national debt will be nearly two and three-quar-ter billions, Rep. Forest A. Harness (R. Ind.) reported in a statement from his office today. In it he urged that all persons take a renewed interest

in governmental arithmetic and discourage mnon-defense

expenditures to prevent national bankruptcy. | ad “There are figures concerning this great Government of ours which we cannot safely go on ignoring,” Rep.

every citizen ought squarely petause the) own and his country’ Every person owes it study these facts ang tilkhe knows exactly wi to, him and his family debts and taxes, and in terms his opportunity in the future.”

i Here Are the Facts

The statement then outlined som of :the facts as follows: “On June 30 (the béginning © our fiscal year) the Federal debt was approximately 56 billion dollars. That was about $425 for eve mén, woman and child in the United States. 4By June 30 next year the national debt will be about 70 billion dollars. Yoru share as an individual then will be nearly $540. “Since the first of this year, Congress has appropriated and made available for all purposes just & little less than $45,000,000,000. | “Including the second appropriatign for the lend-lease program, this country is committed to a total out-! lag for defense of about 65 billion dojlars. If this were the end, and if mot another cent were appropriatéd, your share of the defense effort would be $500 in round figures. Rate Steadily Climbing

4Competent authorities agree that defense spending, plus the normal cogts of the peacetime Government agencies, added to our present debt will soon run our total national debt to 100 billion dollars or more. “We now are spending for defense at the rate of one and one-half billions per month, with that rate steadily climbing as the defense machinery begins to roll “Since the end of spending is nowhere in sight, we will be most fortunate if the total debt doesn’t go far beyond 100 billion dollars. But when we reach that point, you and every other man, woman and child must carry a debt load of * about $770.” Predicting that the new tax law will explode the “soak the rich myth” which the Administration has fostered Rep. Harness concluded: “The sad truth is that there weren't enough concentrdted riches to pay the bill for the extravagances we were indulging ourselves in even before we undertook this tremendous defense effort.

Common People Pay Bills

“The new tax bill récently passed is going to blow up that soak-the-rich myth with a vengeance. It is going to bring home to millions of Americans the fact that the common ple will carry the main burden, no matter what happens to the comparative handful of rich

people. “The further sad truth:is that, regardless of who holds the mortgage growing against us, we are bofrowing against our own and ‘our children’s future at a rate that defies all the rules of decency, common sense and safety. “No one argues against the urgency of providing an adequate defense, but under the circumstances the least we can do is to stop all unnecessary non-defense spending. “We also should insist that defense spending be administered wisely, frugally and efficiently. There is, unfortunately, very little evidence of wisdom, frugality or efficiency in the effort to-date.”

COMPARES LIFE TO A BATTERY

Maintains Itself by Opposite Electrical Potentials, Surgeon Says.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. Oct. 17. (U. P.) —Dr. George W. Crile, Cleve-

| lland surgeon, advanced the theory

today that life is like a storage bat-

| |tery, maintaining itself through op-

posite electrical charges in the body. “It undoubtedly will help us explain a great many diseases we have been unable to understand,” he told the 16th International Medical Assembly. | Drs. Otto Glasser and D. P. Quiring of Cleveland aidéd him in 14 years of research to develop the theory. The brain and nervous system, he said, are charged positively by oxidation (the combining of oxygen

land cell tissue), while the 25 tril-

lions of red blood corpuscles in the human body are chgrged negatively by. friction, in the same manner that static eleetricity .collects in a cat's fur, i When these potentials: are dis-

charged, Dr. Crile said, death is im-

mediate; death cannot occur until there has been that breakdown. Dr. Crile said he found the first-clue to his theory while hunting in the African jungle. He told how a lion was shot and dissected to determine what sort of shot would. be fatal and would not strike either the brain or heart, which were needed speciments. The conclusion was that the shot should be made through ‘either or both brachial plexuses (nerve centers near the lion’s shoulders). “The next day we came upon a lioness with two cubs,” Dr. Crile said, “I took careful aim as we had planned and fired. The lioness was killed instantly.” Why that lioness “died all over” started him thinking, he said, along the lines which led to a new theory 14 years later. The problem was to determine what sort of an “axis” between the brain and heart prevented .eithet' from functioning without the other, even‘'for a few seconds. Dr. Crile said the new theory already has been applied to two heretofore unexplained phenomena—the “blackouts” experienced by pilots of five bombers and emotional exhilaration.

NAZIS PICTURE REDS’ FIENDISH ROCKET GUN

BERLIN, Oct. 17 (U. P.).—The newspaper Nachtausgabe yesterday published on page one a photograph of a Russian grenade thrower With 42 barrels which recently was described by the German radio as “a fiendish rocket gun.” . The photo showed the gun mounted on a metal chassis atop a concrete pedestal. It showed three tiers of 14 guns which could fired simultaneously. Each barre apparently was about three feet long and. about three inches in diameter. . In the photograph a group of German soldiers were examining the weapon somewhere on the Eastern Front.

REPAIR BILLS

Here Are Hints on How To Keep Your Camera Out of Shop. By TIM TIPPETT Sooner or later you will probably have to take your camera back

the shop for repairs. Eh Many amateurs, with the proper

respect for their equipment never)

have injured their cameras. Unfortunately there are those amateurs) who are careless. Then, too, accidents will happen. 3% : Here are some of the reasons why the thoughtless amateur must return time and time again to the repairman: . : “Forcing the front of the camera back with a mighty shove of the thumb. “Sétting the shutter for T or B, and then forcing the set lever. Forcing the bed closed, regardless of injury to shutter, lens, braces, range finder or track, “Setting the .self-timer on a Compur shutter when the speed] lever has been - set faster than 1/1000 of a second.” Repairmen despair at the shut-

camera and wants a quick job because they have to catch a train or something. Rush jobs are seldom good in any kind of repairing. Especially with cameras. Then a lot of people worry about the wrong things. For instance, many fear that the air bubbles which are present in every good lens will cause spots on the negatives. If your lens had no air bubbles that would really be something to worry about. Many a camera fan frets too much about shutter speeds. They believe that when they set the shutter at 1/300 second ‘it may go

off at 1/2756 second. It wouldnt

What every fan wants is a bath to make prints stay flat even though they are left lying all around the house. iS Sy ; Well, there is no such bath. You can wet them for 10 minutes or

to 10 to 16 parts lukewarm water. This lessens the tendency to curl but not enough. ’ For ' there is ‘nothing discovered yet that will entirely overcome curli-

weather. The reason is that the emulsion responds to heat ‘and cold. more freely than the paper support does. Cold shrinks it, so it pulls and turns, Put your prints in a print file, or
