Both Incidents to Serve as

These will serve as trial preludes to a county-wide blackout to be ordered by Siary authorities in the

inl of the - preparedness plans came yesterday from Mayor Tyndall, Indianapolis civil ' defense director, and William Munk, head of the Marion county defense council. All Lights Out

During both the Jan. 22 and Feb. 8 alerts all lights in the county must be doused except those in essential war plants, street lamps, traffic signals and automobile headlights.

The Feb. 5 dimout will be signaled

by air raid sirens. All raid wardens

will be mobilized at both rehésrs-| f

als, Mayor Tyndall said the third army command would set a later date for the trial black-out. Although dim-outs may be authorized by civil defense officials, the

army alone can order a total black- :

out.

Chief purpose of the dim-outs :

and black-qut, according to Mayor Tyndall, is to awaken interest in civilian defense activities here which, the general remarked, “has been lagging.”

Seek Community Feeling

He said he didn’t mean to imply that dim-outs and black-ouis are the principal feature of defense organization, but emphasized that . “civil defense must weld community feeling for the welfare of all.” : “It’s this community togetherness that we're trying to stimulate,” he said :

Insofar as they promote a realization of the problem’s of one’s own neighbors, the general said, civil defense enterprises must be “kept alive” as a protection against a possible post-war depression of community spirit.

9 FREED ON CHARGES OF OPERATING BINGO

Municipal Judge John L. McNelis dismissed charges of keeping a gaming house and operating a lottery and gift enterprise yesterday against two women held in connection with an alleged bingo game) which police raided Friday night. Only police witness to appear against the two women, Thelma Cox, 41, of Ben Davis, and Florence ' Fisher, 50, of Mickleyville, was patrolman George Johnson; who par-| . tcipated in the raid. Patrolman Johnson testified that three officers, led by Sergt. Tom McCormick, were sent out to investigate a reported fight. He said there was no building at the address given dn the report. but that next door, at 1637 S. Meridian st., the officers found a sign on the front door with instructions to “enter at the side door, please.” ‘When the officers went to the side door, he told the court, they found i ajar and entered. They found & number of persons seated around ‘tables, some of whom left by the front door when the officers entered. He admitted that no bingo game was in progress at the time they entered the building and that the officers did not see any money chdnge hands. The policemen arrested the two alleged operators and took the names of 17 women and one man who remained in the room. : % Judge McNelis overruled a motion by defense attorney Frank Symmes to quash charges on the grounds

officers had no warrants and were not in search of a felon. He upheld a second motion to dismiss on the grounds of insufficient evidence.

SPLIT GROSSING COSTS 80%-20%

Bill Proposes Public Pay Greater Share of Expense For Protection.

The house of representatives received g bill yesterday which would require the public to foot 80 per cent of the bills for new protective devices at railroad crossings just as|an it now pays 80 per cent of the cost of grade separations. The bill was introduced by Reps. James M. Knapp, (R. Hagerstown) and Roy W. Darneal (D. New: Albany) and would leave the railroads to pay only 20 per cent of the cost of installing and maintaining flashers, bell signals and other such devices. The general assembly of 1939 passed an act requiring that public funds be used for 80 per cent of grade separation costs. The act conformed with a U. S. supreme court decision holding that instead of highway traffic needing protection from trains, it now is the trains that require “protection from dangers incident to motor transportation.” Steam railroads are advocating passage of the new bill on the grounds that, in line with the same supreme court opinion, grade crossing warning devices should be considered in the same light as removal of dangerous grades and curves on the highways and. other road improvements. Viewed in this way, the railroads and supporters of the bill say, railroad crossing safety devices should be largely public responsibility.

TIGHTENS ORDER ON BONDSMEN|:

Judge to Suspend Those ‘Who Don’t Bring Prison-

“ers Into Court.

The boys around town who make their living posting bail to get|n, prisoners out of jail for substantial fees, face some new regulations

which might put some of them out bs

Judge W. D. Bain, of criminal|¢

court, has issued an edict that professional bondsmen who fail to bring a prisoner into court within|w a reasonable time after subpenas

have been issued, will be temporarily]

suspended from the eligible list of bondsmen in eriminal court cases.

Forfeiture Threatened

“If a bondsman fails to produce his prisoner in court at all and has to forfeit the bond, he will be barred from all bond practice in the future,” Judge Bain said.” At the same time, riff Otto Petit also has issu @, regula~ tions for bondsmen ling out prisoners under his jurisdiction.
