BEEN mumbling before, we have no entertainment n Indianapolis during the summer months beyond the movies and so that most of us are confined to sitting out on the nt stoop swatting mosquitos for our evening’s recreation, a diversion vhich becomes rather boring after a while.

Yther towns give their citizens outdoor symphony programs, opera

under the stars and plays in the public parks. But here it seems to be the custom to pull in the sidewalks for the summer months far as musical entertainment is concerned. Of course, ever so often, a generous citizen or two donates

which the election of a mayor is involved. Years ago, the city budget provided funds for band concerts in the public parks. The Indiana legislature passed a statute enabling the city specifically to provide funds for this or other musical entertainment, leaving the amount to be spent largely to the discretion of city officials. Well, the discretionary feature of the law, perhaps, was a mistake. For what the city, as represented by its inert park board, has done to provide mass, adult entertainment on these summer evenings has been next to

nothing.

Plenty of Nothing IN CHICAGO, for example, the board of park commissioners in co-operation with the federation of musicians, provides one of the nation’s finest series of symphonic concerts. In St. Louis, the municipal opera association has planned an outstanding musical comedy season this summer. But here in Indianapolis, our park board is so wrapped up in its political pursuits that it has evidenced little thought toward adult, public entertainment . . . which seems to me to be its principal function. As a matter of fact, this little group of politically-minded -citizens, which often decides in private meetings how the public funds entrusted to its care are to be spent, has taken a long step toward curtailing recreation for youngsters. While no one was looking the other day, the board fired one of the best recreation experts the city ever had—under the guise of economy. But, perhaps, that is beside the point which is simply

| that an agency of municipal gov- | ernment

somehow manages to budget $500,000 a year for recreation facilities without making the taxpayers more than faintly aware of it. Well, I'm limbering up my mos-quito-swatting arm for a gay summer.

GIRL MOTHER DENIES DRAFT DODGING PLOT

SAN FRANCISCO, June 18 (U. P.).—Cornelia Van Ree, 18-year-old unwed mother, said today that all she wanted from her brother-in-law, the alleged father of her 4-day-old daughter, was her hospital maternity expenses. She said she had no intention of, accusing her sister and brother-in-law of a draft dodging conspiracy. A $100,000 paternity suit was filed by Cornelia, through her mother, against her sister, Alberta Turner, and her brother-in-law, Gerald E. Turner, San Mateo. The suit charged Turner seduced Cornelia to provide a child which Turner could claim as a draft exemption. Cornelia said the draft-dodging

Mi

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES charge apparently was solely the idea of her mother, Mrs. Mabel Olsen, and her attorney, Joseph A. Brown.

HAILS AGREEMENT

THURSDAY, JUNE 18, 1942

FOR MAPPING PEACE

BALTIMORE, June 18 (U. P.).—

Undersecretary of State Sumner Welles last night hailed master lend-lease agreements between the United States and Soviet Russia, Great Britain, China and Belgium

the possible nucleus “of a united

nations organization for the relief; and economic reconstruction of the post-war world.”

He told a united nations rally,

also addressed by British Field

arshal Sir John Dill and Mexican

Ambassador Francisco Castillo Najera, that the united nations must organize now to guarantee a postwar peace “which is more than a mere interlude between battles.”

NON-PARTISANSHIP URGED DURING WAR

CLEVELAND, June 18—The cooperation of all community groups in an all-out war effort and demands for non-partisan politics for the duration of the war were made here today at the closing session of the 27th annual convention of Kiwanis International. Corwine E. Roach, Springfield, Ill. chairman of a citizenship committee of the service organization, told delegates that “we have a right to demand these things because our governments shall not be jeopardized by socialism, fascism and communism.” The convention adopted the slogan, “Victory—by United Effort—by Individual Service,” for the remainder of the war.

Paul Cavanagh and Mona Barrie have the supporting roles in “The Strange Case of Dr. Rx,” which opens at the Emerson tonight for the first showing in the city.
