Republican Move in House Breaks Merit Deadlock

(Continued from Page One)

rion: of the cut in the personnel appropriations made in the te budget bill by the house ways and means committee. It was reported that the merit d’s appropriations would be ed from $54,000 to between $120,,and $150,000 for the next bienum. The ways and means comlittee had slashed the appropriaon from $171,000 to $54,000. | In discussion on [the bill in the ouse,; Rep. Teckemeyer said “it eeps the old merit system which desirable and, without even atpting to wash all of our dirty en in public, I can assure you at the outcome of passing this will be very wholesome.” ‘Rep. Walter Baker (R. Bourbon), le only member voting against the easure, objected on the grounds that this type of action left the members unaware of exactly what they are voting on.

Charges Abuse of Rules

“In my opinion,” he said, “it is an abuse of the intent of the house

means committee and one of fle leading members of the bloc seeking Mr. Allen’s and Mr. John-

Take PHILLIPS’ MILKoMAGNESIA

“SAY GOODBYE to those “morning “blues.” Next time you overeat, or stay up late at a gay party, take Phillips’ Milk of Magnesia -at bedtime and wake up feeling “fit as a fiddle”. That’s because Phillips’ does more than merely neutralize excess acidity—it finishes the job. After settling the stomach, it goes on to act as 2 very gentle laxative—promotes - a mild yet thorough elimination. Read directions on package and take as directed thereon or as prescribed by your physician.

son’s ouster, replied: “I think Mr. Baker’s point is very poorly taken, Every member of both sides of this house knows what we are trying to do and there is no need for raising a little point like this when the whole merit system is at stake, - “Our only thought has been to preserve the merit system and it could not have been saved by leaving it in the hands of those who are now gunning it.” Rep. James Knapp (R. Hagerstown), who has served three times as speaker of the house, told the membership that the action was nothing new “and was entirely open and above board.” Rep. Raymond C. Morgan (R. Knightstown) raised a point concerning the title of the bill which he had amended. The bill used as a vehicle for the new measure was one concerning the burial of inmates in state institutions. ir “I don’t think this bill pertains to burials,” he commented: “I'm afraid you don’t know about that, Rep. Morgan,” House Speaker Hobart Creighton commented jokingly, “I believe this bill really does bury somebody.” The title was later amended to make’ it conform to the text of the measure.

COUNTY LAGGING ON BOND QUOTA

More Than $2,000,000 Must Be Sold to Reach February Goal.

Marion county residents must purchase more than $2,000,000 worth

of war bonds during the remainder of the month to meet the February quota of $3,975,200, James F. Frenzel, county administrator of the war savings staff, reported today. While the county as a whole lagged in purchases, 12 more firms were added to the 10 per cent honor roll, according to Carl F. Maetschke, payroll savings committee chairman. The firms and the number of workers are: Kentucky Life & ‘Accident Insurance Co. 26; Homer Selch, 4; Bowers Envelope & Lithograph Co., 43; Northwestern Milk Co. 14; Clouse Machine Products Co., Inc., 31; Robeart H. Sturm Recreations, Inc, 7; Grand Canyon Inn, 8; John Grande & Sons, 4; Martin Truck Co. 8; Affiliated Theaters Inc, 10; Michael Pharmacies, 30, and Standard Dry Kiln Co., 11.

Zionists Have Drive

Accumulated sales of the Zionist organization, which is conducting its own February campaign, will total almost $150,000, Mr. Frenzel estimated. The women’s group, Hadassah, sold $12,103.95 in. stamps and bonds at a recent tea. Bond sales throughout the state this month through last Saturday reached $10,456,830.50, against a quota of $14,900,000.

SOONG RETURNS TO U. S., ASKS PLANES

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25 (U. P.)— T. V. Soong, China’s foreign minister, said today that a few hundred American planes would enable the Chinese armies to begin an offensive designed to drive the Japanese from China. Soong, recently returned from Chungking, called on Secretary of State Hull and Undersecretary of State Sumner Welles. Talking with reporters later, Soong said that he preferred not to give an exact estimate of the number of planes China required, but that air power was the most important factor in the present military situation there.

RICE NOT RATIONED, CONSUMERS TOLD

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25 (U. P.).— The office of price administration has assured consumers that rice is not rationed. OPA said it has received reports indicating that some grocers were refusing to sell rice to housewives on grounds that it is on the list of rationed foods. This was described

as a misconception.

350 Trials Since Jan. 16 Net 95 Convictions;

Cases Pending. (Continued from Page One)

dence in the opinion of one superior court judge, will be ruled out as insufficient proof of guilt by another. But officers don’t get too discouraged when cases of most of their vice-drive victims are thrown out of court, several members of the local force admitted. They know that placing the burden of guilt on any single suspect or group of suspects in sweeping cleanup arrests is a tough task at best.

Often Lack Evidence

Higher officials don’t like to admit it, but the rank and file on the force realize that most police raiding of gaming establishments is for the eventual purpose of curbing illicit pastimes rather than the immediate one of obtaining convictions. Most. dismissals and discharges result from lack of evidence, or what individual courts rule as lack of evidence, a checkup showed. In many cases dismissals resulted from failure to show that gambling material or apparatus had actually been used or “transacted” as such. Others were released because evidence against them had been obtained illegally, perhaps by police who had entered without search warrants. By far the majority of those whose names were spread on the police blotter by vice-conscious officers since Jan. 16 were booked on gaming charges. Up to Feb. 23 about 185 persons. had stood trial before two superior court judges for operating lotteries and gift enterprises, keeping rooms for pool selling or gaming, visiting ' gaming houses, pool selling and violating the 1935 slot machine act: Many others picked up in raids were slated on vagrancy counts, but disposition of their cases was not included in the survey.

Continue Gaming Case

Of the 185 or more tried on gaming charges, 54 had been sentenced by Tuesday and 86 discharged or dismissed. Trials of most of the suspects were continued. Police seem to have had more trouble in making liquor law violations stick, for of 103 persons accused of running afoul of the 1935 beverage act, 17 have been found guilty and 58 discharged. Cases of others were continued. Of 24 prostitutes nabbed in the cleanup campaign, five had been convicted and 14 dismissed. * Police found gratifying success in prosecuting charges against those found “associating with prostitutes.” Nine of 15 “associates” rounded up were found guilty and trials of six remaining were continued. ‘Three convictions grew out of 10 arrests for keeping houses of ill fame. The case of four others were continued.

Dancing Girls Fail to Trap Yanks on Guadalcanal.

KEARNY, N. J., Feb. 25 (U. P.). —The Japanese on Guadalcanal attempted to use dancing women

to trap American marines, Corp. Walter Pelenski, 24, of Kearny, said today. Pelenski, home on a furlough after five months with the marines on Guadalcanal, said, “One morning our attention was attracted to a clearing in the heavy brush by the sound of music. We saw a number of women dancing and playing musical instruments. They shouted and motioned us to come closer. We knew they weren't native women. We spotted them as Japanese. “Our commanding officer directed us to circle the section. By ‘doing this we were able to get a ‘group of Jap soldiers, with .machine guns, who were waiting for *us to fall for the trap set by the women,” Pelenski said. : The women were allowed to escape unharmed and were never seen again by his unit, he added.

FORECASTS MILLION

NEW YORK, Feb. 25 (U. P.).— A million Americans will be wounded in this war and the nation had better prepare hospital facilities for their ‘care, Maury Maverick, director of the governmental division of the war production board, told the annual meeting of the hospital bureau of standards and supplies today. “The Russians have had some 6,000,000 casualties and the Germans 5,000,000,” Maverick said. “And, if we have only a fifth of either of those figures then we will

ing offered today and tomorrow, and to supply the second, a three weeks’ course of training will follow. Emphasis: is being placed on fraining the over-age physician and those ineligible for military service so that a pool can be built up from which to draw plant physicians. "Emphasizes Prevention

“The secret of the job we can do in cutting sickness absenteeism is in prevention,” Dr. Peterson said. “It is interesting to note that less than a day of those nine days lost a year by men and the 12 by women is due to occupational illnesses—that happening on the job. ”» “The balance of the days off are due to non-occupational sickness. The majority. of this can be traced to so-called minor illnesses. Ranking first, of course, is the upper respiratory diseases—the common cold, bronchitis, etc.—with gastrointestinal disorders caused by dietary disturbances running about second. Nervous diseases, etc, rank about third in importance.” To cut his absenteeism rate from sickness, the plants themselves in co-operation with the medical departments conduct education programs through posters, health meetings, plant papers and movies. The doctors see their main educational functions as (1) to make the employees realize that the medical departments of the plants can help and that there should be no

suspicion of the plant physician and his aids as a management “tool” just interested in getting the man back on the job; (2) encourage the worker to be conscious of the need for earing for himself, and (3) encouraging the doctor to take training himself to supply the needed service. This absenteeism phase is just one of the many which the doctors will hear about at the conference. Leaders in the industrial health field throughout the country are among the speakers. J. J. Bloomfield of the U. S. public health service and Dr. Clarence M. Shelby, Detroit, chairman of the industrial health committee of the procurement and assignment service of the war manpower commission, will talk tonight at a banquet at the Indianapolis Athletic club. Practicing physicians, industrial physicians and industrial managers are attending the two-day initiatory program sponsored by the I. U. school of medicine, the State Chamber of Commerce, the Indiana procurement and assignment service and the state board of health’s industrial hygiene bureau, in co-op-eration with the state medical association’s committee on. industrial health.

nizing their shopping bills of the last five days before making purchases. Reports of violations, properly confirmed, it was stated, may be made to local war price and rationing boards. With fresh vegetables playing an increasingly important part in the nation’s diet when point rationing of canned foodstuffs goes into effect, Secretary of Agriculture Claude R. Wickard today reminded farmers growing summer and autumn vegetables for the fresh market of the acreage shifts sought by the agriculture department. Urges Acreage Shifts

Substantial increases, he said, are desired for those crops which will contribute most to the nutritive adequacy of America’s wartime diet. He suggested decreases in acreage for other vegetables which have less nutritive value or involve disproportionate uses of labor or transportation. | Vegetables for which an increase was suggested included carrots, kale, beans, beets, sweet corn, tomatoes, cabbage, onions, spinach and peas. The country can get along with fewer “melons and less lettuce, celery and cucumbers, Wickard said. 0

apolis and Marion counfy having gross receipts amounting to well over $2,000,000 annually. The mayor's ban on the daily pools wiped out lottery activities of many lodges and even some sponsored by churches.

A large per cent of the city's population played one or more of the lottery pools every day, placing permanent orders for pool tickets with the operators collecting weekly or monthly like rent or the grocery bill. The mayor said he decided to order all pools closed “under penalty of arrest” after he had received numerous calls from. mothers and wives who, he said, complained that their husbands and other members of their families were spending money on pool tickets. Prize money in some of the pools has ranged as high as $2500 on a single ticket, spurring players on to keep playing them for the big prize they thought they were bound to hit.

Equipment Is Seized

At the Capitol City Publishing Co. offices police confiscated elaborate communications equipment over whose wires extensive horse race information was carried during the raid, police said. Ten telephones, each with leased wire connections, were confiscated along with the teletype machines. The , operator of the company, against whom Mr. Blue said race

id he couldn’t understand ‘the d. ? “I don’t know why I'm being dis= turbed. I have been in business since 1921, ” he said,

Injunction Is Sought

Owners of the company during the raid sought unsuccessfully to block seizures of the equipment with an injunction suit in Superior court 4. Judge Walter Pritchard declined to issue a restraining order against Mayor Tyndall and the police dee partment on the ground that the city officials had not had time te be notified. : Later, however, Judge Pritchard issued an order restraining police from “illegally confiscating or dee stroying any of the firm’s property.” Attorneys interpreted this as *® merely an order restraining police from making any future raid on the firm without legal warrants and not affecting anything done by police in the raids yesterday. Owners said that the federal dis« trict court in Chicago had ruled that operation of the syndicate was ne law violation.
