‘A balaficed budget, eontiriued federal spending. for social purposes

into the same basket, local businessmen were warned today. Wilbur J. Brons, chief editorial writer and columnist of the Chicago Journal .of Commerce, told the Indianapolis Kiwanis club at a luncheon here that the only way to achieve a treasury surplus is to “insist that government spending be cut to the bone and continue federal
{taxes at their present high level for
a generation or so. This would en-

but to retire portions periodically.” Spending beyond income has be-

SCIENTIFIC SETBACK
- Twenty-five years will elapse before the nation regains the scien tific and technical ‘brains lost to the armed forces is the prediction of Dr. A. A. Potter, dean of ‘Purdue university's engineering school. Dr. Potter asserted before Rotary club members in the Claypool hotel yesterday, that selective service “not only dried up the ranks of research, but is continuing to do s0 in peacetime.” Estimating that the nation is “short” at least 50,000 technologists and scientists, he declared, “no other nation in the world made this mistake.” Education must stimulate the crefltive instincts and proyide tools of invention so Americans will eontinue to invent and develop-greater comforts for humanity, he. stated. Improvement of pfimary. readers is more. essential than ¢ollege fellowships, he said.
Indianapolis has been chosen as bne of three cities for an experi-
mental project in the training of Negro ministers to handle modern social problems in American cities. The project will be sponsored by the Home Missions council whose headquarters are in New York. The other two cities are Brooklyn and San Francisco. News of the local project of nation-wide interest was announced today in the meeting of the board of ‘trustees. of the United Christian Missionary society in the Missions building. The board meeting was in session through yesterday and closed at noon today. The trustees voted to give financial ald to the Negro ministers training program. Similar to Rural Activity
The council has been conducting a similar activity among Negro rural ministers. The city ministers will receive. training in ways to
attack such problems as juvenile
delinguency, the “destyuction of the Christian home,” maladjustment, under-nourishment, and the like. The first new missionary to. be sponsored by the society in China before Pearl Harbor, Miss Pauline Storm of New Haven, Conn., was
commissioned this morning in the Missions building, Dr; Robert M. Hopkins, society president, conducted the ceremonies. © ; - Three missionaries who wish to
go to the Belgian Congo, three who | trustees
indicated China as their field, and three who have chosen the Philip-
pines were examined. These pros-|-
pective religious workers are here from all parts of the United States. Holloway Given Mention Mention was made by the trustees of the fact that H, B. Holloway of Indianapolis has served the United society for 25 years and will be retired in June. Miss Adelle Ringstrom of Seattle,

Dyring Lent many of the Protest-| ant and Catholic churches encourage their members to refrain from various forms of entertainment and to deny themselves in other ways in order to give sacrificial offerings to the church. Rigid rules of fasting and abstinence also are enforced in all Catholic churches during Lent. EE Elbert, choirmaster, will direct the choir in special music at the 7:45 p. m. Ash Wednesday service today, and on Thursday nights at the same hour during Lent, at the First United Lutheran church. The Rev. Olen A. Peters, pastor, will be in charge.
