Backs Investigation
The council’s action, in the form of a resolution, supported Judge John L. Niblack’s recent statement declaring that nursing homes need complete investigation. It indorsed all effort for the proper agencies to be given the power to do the in-
vestigating. Mrs. Gilbert Forbes, head of the
presented the resolution said that “the job of investigating would not be easy as I have heard that there were political ramificiations behind the nursing situation.” She explained that committee members had visited various homes. “Some of the homes are operated in a very satisfactory manner,” she said. “They are clean, adequately heated, have sufficient bath facilities, serve three meals a day and have a practical nurse on the premises. These homes welcome visitors and would welcome legislation.
Others Are Attacked
“Some of the homes,” she added, “are operated in a manner that warrants complete investigation by the proper agencies, There are reported instances of overcrowded conditions, lack of proper care and other abuses. “The county welfare department says it has no jurisdiction over where people, recqjving old-age assistance, shall live. Further, the department has no power to carry on an investigation of so-called nursing homes except as to sanita-

The council also will write to Rep. Louis Ludlow asking; him to investigate what measures are being taken to guarantee Indianapolis adequate protection in case of an air raid. Mrs. Clayton H. Ridge, head of the council’s legislative committee, in presenting the recommendation for a letter, referred specifically to a “need for anti-gircraft guns.” She pointed: out the increase of defense industries in the city and said that made the city a ogleal place for an attack.”

She said she understood that the nearest anti-aircraft guns were at Wright field, Dayton, O. Letters will be written by member clubs and club members, as well, to Rep. Ludlow.

BROOKSIDE CLUB T0 ERECT SIGNS
Chief Promises to Enforce 1/2-Ton Truck Ban in
Their Area.
The home workshop is scheduled to come to the rescue of indignant citizens on Brookside ave. who have been unable to receive proper police enforcement of truck traffic on that street because of war priorities.
The safety board, at a meeting today at city hall, accepted a proposal by Mrs, Julia Alexander, 2832 Brookside ave. representing the Brookside Civic League, whereby members of the league will construct and paint wooden signs to be posted along the street.
Chief 0. Ks Plan
Police Chief Morrissey agreed to accept the plan and said that he would order immediate enforcement of a city ordinance passed last November prohibiting heavy truck traffic along Brookside ave. as soon as the signs are posted. Mrs. Alexander told safety board members that “the peace of our home has been invaded and we have no time to rest day or night.” She said that one woman resident on

the street was under the care of a physician because of the noise caused by heavy trucks. Chief Morrissey said that the lack of enforcement could be blamed on “priorities.”
Blames Priorities
“We can’t enforce the ordinance until we obtain the signs and delivery on them has been held up because of the war-need for metal,” Chief. Morrissey said. It was explained that enforcement was scheduled to begin the first of the year when purchase of the signs could be included in the city budget. “The signs have been ordered but they can’t be delivered,” the police chief added. Mrs. Alexander asked that “if the civic league furnished the signs, would the police department put them up and enforce the ordinance?” She was told that the department would. Forty signs, 18 by 14 inches in size, are to be made by civic league members. They will be painted yellow with black letters reading “Trucks over 12 tons prohibited.”
FARM FIGHT REVIVES TEM VETO’ DEBATE
WASHINGTON, March 3 (U. P.). —The congressional farm bloc’s
trol over rising farm prices today revived agitation to give - President Roosevelt the power of the “item veto.” The move give the president such power—authority to disapprove a section of an appropriation bill without vetoing the whole. measure —coincided with a shift from the senate to the house of the farm price row. The shift was occasioned by house consideration of the '$677,000,000 agriculture supply bill in which the farm bloc seeks to include a parity price limitation. The bill comes up on- the floor today.

By Science Service NEW YORK, March 3.—A plan aimed at making the new Sister Kenny treatment for infantile paralysis more generally available is announced by the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. The
treatment was originated and introduced into’ this country by Miss Elizabeth Kenny, an Australian nurse.

By FREMONT POWER They're living in tents at Ft. Harrison.
The induction center got ahead of the building program. And, so ‘while you're stoking coal into your furnace, some of America’s new army is firing up little tent stoves at Camp Evin P. Glenn, adjunct
of Ft. Harrison.
But living in tents in the winter isn’t nearly : so alarming to those
who're doing it as it may be to those who read about it, More than 300 soldiers are quartered in the “tented city” and in two or three weeks the population will be up to 2200. There are 319 tents in the area now (five men to a tent) and they were set up only a few days ago.
Commander Popular
Maj. James C. Gabriel, a rawboned, mustached Missourian, is camp commander and he reports the men like their: living quarters all right. : Apparently, they like him all right, too. The major moved out of “bachelor’s mess” at the fort into a tent to be with his men. Like the true army officer, Maj. Gabriel looks always to the comfort of his men. He has a trick ar overcome the new enlistees’ shock at the idea of living in tents swept by sub-freez-ing winds. Picture an early, dark morning. Down the road comes the new bunch of recruits, “knapsacks on their shoulders and chins on their chests,” as the major says.
Stoves Supply Heat
Down the streets of the tented city they march and divide. up into groups .of five. Then they pile into their new canvas homes. That's when Maj. Gabriel's surprise comes in. ; The recruits find their tents clean and in’order. ‘A stove in the middle
