It was a man asking whether a child of a certain description had been found. Mrs. Coleman said several children had been found, but none of that description. “Well,” said the man, “I didn't count the kids when we got in the car to go home, but when we got there, I had only 190 —and there should have been 11.” . . . Incidentally, a group of Boy Scouts had a picnic in a park recently, and their scoutmaster went along to see that none of them was injured. There was only one casualty: The scoutmaster fell off a teeter-totter and broke his arm. . . . Among the guests at the Athenaeum the other evening was Jim Strickland, the OPA state director.

It is important, in trying to assess the potentialities of the southern disturbance, to note that not a single important office holder has yet joined in the movement publicly. It is not yet a good bandwagon. When they do start to hitch a ride, then it will become important and worth watching.

Liquidation of Debt and
Election of Vale Noted
' At Service.
By EMMA RIVERS MILNER Times Church Editor The Tabernacle Presbyterian church formally enters upon a new era today, having raised $164,241 in a debt-clearance campaign and overjoyed at the elevation of its pastor to the denomination’s highest office. Thanksgiving for the liquidation of the building debt and the election of Dr. Roy Ewing Vale as moderator of the general assembly of the U. 8. Presbyterian church marked, the holy communion and mortgage victory celebration yesterday. A vast congregation was on hand. It heard Dr. Vale praise the “hard work” of the mortgage campaign committee and all the members of the church who were instrumental in lifting a debt of many years.
Attkisson Heads Group
The campaign committee includes G. Attkisson, general chairman; Otto J. Feucht, chairman of special gifts; Kenton M. Mosiman, director of promotion and publicity, and Herbert P. Ball, treasurer of fund finances. The| committee exceeded the original! goal of $161,790 by $2451, thus providing for any subscriptions which may necessarily be canceled. They completed the fund raising in five months and at the cost of $500. A “golden book” soon to be | published will name all contributors. Tabernacle is often called a community church. In many ways it is bound up with the life of the city through the buildings from which the debt is now lifted. So many brides who are not members of the congregation select the McKee chapel of the church as the scene of their weddings that the chapel has come to bear a relation to Indianapolis resembling that of the Little Church Around the Cor-

U. 3. IRMONY POST-WAR
Sees Concern Over Free Enterprise; Anti-FDR Group Boosts Him.
FRENCH LICK, Ind, June 5 (U, P.).—James A. Farley, New York
state Democratic chairman, asserted today that while there was “deep concern over the survival of free enterprise,” he believed its perpetuation in the United States is assured if labor, managerment and agriculture continue in peacetime the co-operation they have learned in war. Farley, chairman of the board of ithe Coca-Cola Export Sales Co. |addressed the convention of the {National Association of Chain Drug Stores. Businessmen’'s concern over ithe future has developed, he said, |“from their realistic appraisal of jdefinite trends that have been manjifest during the past two decades.” { Emergency measures devised dure {ing the depression, coupled with | “inevitable regimentation” during the war, Farley said, had created a {condition against free enterprise in { which “simple interest has been | twice compounded.”
‘U. 8S. System Proved’
“No matter how tremendous has {been its cost, how great the sacri--{fices it has entailed,” he said, “the war has proven the soundness of our American way of doing things. Again free enterprise meets the {demands of the holocaust. Again our way of life has been vindi|cated.” While Farley spoke ih Indiana, a i plan was being considered by con- " |servative Democrats in Washington {to submit his name to the Demo{cratic national convention for the | presidential nomination in opposi{tion to President Roosevelt's fourth term candidacy, Farley's permission still has to be obtained.

MOSCOW, June 5 (U. P.).—Russ army troops killed more than 2000 enemy soldiers in bitter hand-to-‘hand battles as they repulsed strong German tank and infantry attacks yesterday north and northwest of Iasi in eastern Romania, it was announced today. The enemy losses in the new attacks brought their total casualties to over 6700 dead in the last six days of fighting, a period in which the Russians also knocked out 272 tanks and 280 planes.
