Semi-Trailer LEhtY Feauleton Regulation Will Be Dissepamiets Auto Owners Not Required to Get Permit to Transport Defense Workers.
Moving to co-operate with the federal government in
its request for elimination
of interstate barriers, state
officials announced today that the Indiana law regulating the overall length and height of semi-trailers would not
be enforced.
Indiana law fixes the length and height limit for the
semi-trailers at 40 and 12 feet respectively and the federal government wants semitrailers 45 feet long and 1215
“high to be allowed to operate in all states.
- Indiana will conform to the federal government's request in this matter, Attorney General Georpe Beamer said. This was the only specific development to come out of a conference between state officials who attended a meeting on interstate barriers in Washington last week and Governor Schricker late yesterday.
will Study Requests
“Indiana is in pretty good shape as far as the trade barriers are concerned,” Mr. Beamer said. He said that any requests of that nature that might come from the federal government later would be taken up immediately. Following the conference in the governor’s office, the publit service commission made an announcement of the policy it had had in effect for some time—that certificates of public convenience would not have to be obtained by operators of private automobiles who transport defense workers and charge fares.
Law Requires O. K.
Indiana law requires that anyone charging fares to persons hauled in his automobile must get the approval of the public service commission. ) C. Wright Humrickhouse, secretary of the state milk control board, reported that he had been notified by the OPA that the state board could no longer fix retail prices. But this makes very little difference to the state since the state board can fix retail prices only in cases of emergency and then only for 90-day periods.
Ceiling on Milk Price
Mr. Humrickhouse said he knew of no such orders in effect today. The retail prices of milk, of course, are pegged by the government's price freezing order—they can go lower but no higher. The milk board’s chief function, the fixing of the prices paid to the dairymen by the distributors, has not been affected, Mr. Humrickhouse reported. ’ Samuel C. Hadden, chairman of the state highway commission, reported that rules prohibiting the construction of state highways during the war had been “clarified and relaxed.” Mr. Hadden said state highway commissions were granted permis-
‘sion to continue reasonable build-
ing provided they don’t draw too heavily on critical materials.
Accept Road Bids
Necessary maintenance will be permitted, and the construction of new roads needed either from a public safety, health or defense standpoint. Mr. Hadden said that contracts for road-building and bridge improvements rescinded last week had been released again, and that bids for 19 miles of access roads would be released today. Officials attending the conference also included Lieut. Gov. Charles Dawson; L. Hewitt Carpenter, secretary of the Indiana committee for interstate co-operation; State Labor Commissioner Thomas B. Hutson, and Carl Hedges, representing the dairy industry.

DESCRIBES GUN IN ALGER TRIAL
State Policeman Tells of Loaning Weapon Believed
Used in Robberies.
A state policeman’s pistol was the center of testimony in federal court today at the trial of Gene Alger, Indianapolis bandit, Thomas W. Alford and Dr. Hugh H. Enyart, local dentist. The three are charged with
robbing three Indiana postoffices. Called to the stand as a government witness was Ralph Y. Metcalf, Indiana state police patrolman. Mr. Metcalf testified that he had known Dr. Enyart since childhood and had been his classmate at Butler university. He also testified that he loaned the gun before giving it to Enyart. after the defendant had made repeated requests for a gun “to be used in a play to be given by nurses at City hospital.”
Removed Bullet Clip
Mr. Metcalf said that he removed the clip containing six bullets from the gun before giving to Enyart. He said he placed the clip in the glove compartment of his car. The gun transaction was made on Oct. 15, 1941. Patrolman Metcalf’s pistol was confiscated by Indianapolis police in a raid on the apartment of Miss Virginia Reddick, admitted sweetheart of Alger. : At the time the gun was taken by police it contained the clip that Patrolman Metcalf had removed before giving to Enyart. :
Tells. About Tape
Also called to the stand was Karl Means, chemistry professor at Builer. Professor Means toid the court that he was acquainted with Enyart and that on one occasion loaned him some magnesium tape. The government contends that this tape along with other chemicals was used in blasting open postoffice safes. Through the testimony being given today, Paul Pfister, assistant district attorney, said he hoped lo prove that the three defendants conspired to rob the postoffices. The Lawrence postoffice was robbed Aug. 13, 1941, and the Scottsburg. postoffice was rifled Aug. 27, 1941. The other postoffice robbed was in New Albany.
HOSPITAL RESPONDS IN. EMERGENCY TEST
City hospital demonstrated its day. In two minutes the building was cleared for the reception of injured and four ambulances were loaded and underway to a ‘“supposedly stricken area.” The demonstration was directed by Dr. Charles Myers, superintendent, while civilian defense officials and Red Cross workers looked on. Maj. Gen. Robert H. Tyndall, county defense director, set off the show with a fake call to the hospital that one of the city’s defense
.|plants had been hit.
Through pre-arranged plans, personnel of the hospital loaded the five ambulances with splints, drugs and bandages while other cleared the hospital.

Goes 1500 Miles to Rejoin
Husband
MILWAUKEE, Wis, May 12 (U. P.).—Pearl Mutter, 25, and her husband, Joseph, 28, quarreled six weeks ago. Mrs. Mutter took their 1-year-old daughter, Betty, and went to the home of her parents at Phoenix, Ariz., 1500 miles away. Joseph was unhappy. He left his job in a machinery manufacturing company three weeks ago and went to Phoenix to beg her to return. She said she’d think it over. Joseph returned to Milwaukee, and his wife wrote him a letter. She objected, she wrote, to his conduct in Phoenix. He had continued drinking just as he had in Milwaukee, she said. : She told him she had intended to return May 13 but had changed her mind. She changed her mind again a
Who Kills Self
few hours later. She packed her bags and started for Milwaukee. Joseph received the letter yesterday at the home of his parents, where the couple had lived. He left the house and returned last night. He greeted his brother, Nicholas, 14, casually and walked upstairs. At the time Mrs. Mutter’s train was pulling into Milwaukee, Nicholas heard a shot and ran upstairs to find Joseph dead with a bullet in his heart. The body was carried from the house to a waiting ambulance just as Mrs. Mutter arrived in a taxicab. “Is something the matter with my husband,” she cried, handing her baby to one of her relatives. When they told her Joseph had committed suicide, she began weeping and ran into the house. Then she fainted.
Boys Who Wandered Beyond Their Depth in River Saved
A visit to Ravenswood ended in|Ravenswood, pulled out Gerald, 9.
near tragedy yesterday evening for the Joseph W. Kane Sr. family of 829 N. Temple ave. While Mr. Kane was talking to a Ravenswood business man about renting a house his four boys wandered down to the river bank. Suddenly Jack Kane, 7, ran back and screamed to his father: “James and Gerald are in the river drowning.” Mr. Kane rescued his son James, 6, and ‘a passerby, Jack Lewis of
Joseph Kane Jr. 12, managed to get out by himself. By that time the emergency squad of Fire Station 14 had arrived and later the sheriff’s deputies came. James and Gerald were taken to city hospital, where James is reported in “fair condition.” The boys were throwing sticks in the water and James waded in. He got over his head. Gerald tried to get him out, went under and then Joseph went in.

Triplets Born to Wife of Briton Who Expected Quints
ABINGDON, Eng., May 12 (U. P.). —Destiny demonstrated to Pvt. John Woodley today that it chooses its favorites. His wife, Emily, daughter of the pub keeper at Culham, the neighboring village, gave birth to triplets, not to quintuplets as her husband had expected. The event also dashed the ambitions of Culham which had expected to become as renowned as the Ontario village in which the

The Facts Are . . .
That Curtiss-Wright has been in quantity production for several months.
Dionne quintuplets first saw the light of day. Pvt. Woodley’s sister had her fortune told by a gypsy several years ago. The gypsy said her brother was “a man of destiny.” This, coupled with the opinion of Oxford university medical experts that X-ray plates showed a distinct possibility of quintuplets, caused the entire village—Woodley most of all—to anticipate fame and fortune. But destiny decided otherwise. All were boys.
ENROLL IN RADIO TRAINING COURSE
Enrollment in civil service radio training classes leading .to employment with the army ‘signal corps was opened today by Edward E. Greene, federal defense training program director here. .
Thirty-one already have enrolled and are receiving instruction now at 1500 E. Michigan st. Those interested should apply to the civil service, federal building, Room 522. Classes will meet for eight hours a day from 4:30 p. m. to 1 a. m. for six weeks. Training- is given in radio mechanics and theory in order that enrollees may qualify for service with the signal service under
civil service.
STATE CALLED ‘TARGET AREA’
Atlantan Warns Indiana Gas Group to Prepare
Sabotage Defense.
Pointing out that Indiana is in one of the three “target areas” most liable to enemy attack, H. Carl Wolfe of the Atlanta Gas & Light Co., today told Indiana Gas associ-
ation members to prepare for defense against enemy sabotage and attack. Mr. Wolfe was one of the speakers on the program of the association’s 32d annual convention in the Claypool hotel. At the annual banquet last night, Clarence A. Jackson, state civilian defense director, reported that more than 300,000 men and women in Indiana are now enrolled in civilian training courses. ‘He said the number soon would reach 500,000.
- Artificial Plants Urged
What to do if the natural gas supply begins to run low was outlined at yesterday’s session by L. A. Kirch, production engineer for the Public Service Co. of Indiana. “None of us can wait until the last minute and then pull rabbits out of hat,” he said. “Setting up a new manufacturing gas program overnight is out of the question.” He said standby artificial plants should be held ready, where natural
‘gas is in use, and at the same time,
local gas producing fields should be tapped and prepared for use in emergency. Manufacturers dependent on natural gas for heat treating purposes would be well advised to have their equipment adjusted for quick sonyersion to oil, said Mr. Kirch.
BIRTHRIGHT HEADS PERSONNEL BOARD
William C. Birthright, Indianapolis, head of the International Journeymen Barbers union, yesterday was elected chairman of the state personnel board. He succeeds Earl Beck of Ei Lilly & Co. Mr. Birthright, a Democrat, was reappointed to the state board last week by Governor Schricker upon the expiration of his old term. Paul R. Bausman, Washington, Ind. publisher and a Republican, was
| elected vice chairman.
The state. personnel board has charge of administering the merit system in state institutions and in the health, welfare and employ-
ment security departments of the state government.
CQURT LENIENT TO UNLUCKY SOLDIER
Carl Reinking, 20, a soldier who lost an eye during maneuvers in the south, was shown leniency in criminal court here today because of his misfortune. Reinking and Ira Ebersole, 21, also a soldier, were charged with robbing an ice cream company of more than $300. Judge Dewey E. Myers sentenced Ebersole to two to five years but gave Reinking only nine months and suspended it because of circumstances.
CLAIMS VICTORY IN HOUSING FIGHT
Irvington Project to Be Moved; Says Civic League Official.
Irvington residents appeared today to have won their fight to have the naval ordnance plant housing project moved north of 16th st. John Beck, North Irvington Civic league secretary, said upon his return from Washington today that assurances definitely had been given
him that the project will be moved despite the earlier sentiment of public housing officials. * When the Irvington league originally protested the location to E.
P. Grzybowski, public housing proj-
ect planner, representatives urged that it be bounded by 16th st., Ritter ave. 10th st. and Emerson ave. The government-chosen site was to have been bounded by Arlington ave,. 16th st., Ritter ave. and 10th st. North of 16th St.
Mr. Beck said today that he did not know the eventual location of the project, except that it would be north of 16th st. He met yesterday in Rep. Louis Ludlow’s office in Washington with housing officials. Rep. Earl Wilson of Indiana was called in, Mr. Beck said, and read a congressional committee investigation report, charging that public housing project sites had been protested in 38 states by citizens who apparently had not been consulted before various projects were located. After denying the charge, Orville R. Olmsted, regional FHA director at Chicago, said that the ultimate decision would rest with his superiors. Agree to Change
When they were assured that money would be available from federal funds for a sewer extension which will be necessary under the relocation, they agreed to move the site, Mr. Beck said. In arguing against the original protest when it was formally stated in a meeting here in the mayor’s office, Mr. Grzybowski said that the essential thing to be considered was speed in getting the houses ready for occupancy by Oct. 1. Extending the sewer line, he said, would slow up the work, which is to start June 15. Although Rep. Ludlow said in Washington that officials have made no final decision, Mr. Beck felt certain today that his league had won its fight.

The youth, Roland W. Walker, was taken to city hospital, where it was reported he was suffering from a lacerated right arm.

Civilian Program Impeded a By Shortage of Volunteers
By LOUIS ARMSTRONG
INDIANAPOLIS’ civilian defense program was considered critically impeded today because of a lack of interest on the part of those who have volunteered for duty at the council office. Mrs. George Ziegler, who has charge of the defense volunteer force, has described the condition as serious and said much important work at the defense council's office in the war memorial was going undone because there were not enough volunteers who would give their time to the tasks. Mrs. Howard W. Fieber, who provides jobs for the volunteers, finds her work comparatively easy. There are always more jobs than volunteers. A check-up at the office today revealed that only one of 10 volunteers asked to work accepted the assignment when called. This small percentage, necessitates a great number of telephone calls to obtain the staff necessary to carry on the work of the office. ” ” ”
APPROXIMATELY 200 volunteers work at the office each week. Many give eight hours or more a day, six days a week. Many volunteers who have home responsibilities give one full day a week and others give one-half day a week. The defense council admits that much of the work is “dull routine,” but it also reminds the volunteers that it is necessary. The office is completely dependent upon volunteer assistance to carry out its work. One other . traits of volunteer workers was pointed out by the
defense council and classed as & chief handicap to the office. It was that volunteers often promise their services, then fail to report : for work. i Many of the 20,000 volunteers
have not been called because their =
type of work has not been called for. ” ” ” THE URGENT need now ace cording to the council is for cleri= cal help and persons who desite to volunteer for this type of duty may do so. It is also possible to change the classification of work for which the individual original« ly volunteered.
The council acknowledged the ' 4 i fact that in some cases and “une = |
wise workers have offended indie viduals volunteering for work.
Persons offering services were told
in some cases that no help was needed. The council points out that this statement should have been modified to “needed right now.” All of the work classifications
will open up as the defense coun= 1 :
cil enlarges its organization and as the organizations in the different districts of the city begin + to function.
