Redevelopment € Group Sees New Parks, Better Housing’
Emerging Along Fall Creek
By ROBERT BLOEM
Today is “D” day for “blighted” slums.
Indianapolis’ invasion of its
The city’s new redevelopment commission met today
to pull the trigger on-its first great project by declaring the area -along Fall Creek from 10th to 16th sts. “blighted.” This action, topping the agenda of the commission meeting, will pave the way to clearing the dilapidated area, including the city dump around the notorious “Blue hole.” Hope for New Parks From the action, city planners
hope, will emerge new parks to the
tune of 100 acres and a whole new housing development. The area which will be the focal point of the clean-up debut authorized by the 1945 general assembly is bounded by West st. on the east, 16th st. on the north, Milburn st. on the west, Stadium drive on the southwest and 10th st. on the south. Housing conditions and general sanitation in the area can only be described by pictures and understood by persons who have been into the heart of the section. Progress appears to have been -arrested 40 years ago. Poverty has joined forces with this halt in development. 178 Acres in Area The area, consisting of 178.11 acres, is less than two miles from the business heart of the capital city. It is the site of 357 dwellings and 29 other buildings and is “home’ to 1648 persons. It is estimated the area is occupied primarily, about 75 per cent, by families late of the south: Only abo 18 per cent of the residents in the .area are calculated to be native of Indiana. The average income of the area during the war has been set at $26.70 a week for each family group. In “normal” times this median income may be expected to drop back
to its 1938 level of $17.85 a week.
Will Set Fund Aside Planning commission approval must be obtained for the plan, and successful negotiations completed to get by all remonstrances both by property owners within the area and taxpayers without. Once these things are done, the section is expected to “bloom” within a very few years. All along Fall Creek, and around the Blue Hole, an old sand pit, the
commission will set aside land for sale to the parks board and the]
flood control board, From these lands planners expect the boards to | develop 100 acres of park area for the city. In the vicinity of Crispus Attucks high school a new stadium is envisioned—the school city will get | 16 acres for this and other school | improvements. What is left, the redevelopment

commission plans to level by de-
ing for necessary sewers and other city facilities, until such time as the ground can be offered’ to private builders for new housing proj= ects, Restricted Properties
soaring once the 60-acre building portion returns to private enter prise, properties will be restricted to keep the section within reach of its old residents. Where old residents are unable to return because of slightly higher rents, the section will offer means of clearing existing low-rent facilities of families now well beyond the income brackets for which those earlier projects were intended. The comniission has laid its plans so as to roll ever the area rather than just snuff it out. No families will be moved out of a section until housing has been provided in another section, In that way the project will not be permitted to add to the housing shortage in the city as a whole,
Purchase Price Over $800,000 It is estimated the present purchase value of the entire tract is somewhat over $800,000, though the section is carried on tax duplicates at $500,000. The first step will be
| financed by a current 10-cent levy
which will carry through 1947. After that, the redevelopment law requires that the program maintain its momentum on a 5-cent levy or less. By selling lands to the park and flood control boards, to the school city and, with restrictions, to private operators, the commission is expected to be able to keep its funds revolving. What losses are incurred will soon be made up, planners say, in higher taxes from the area itself, resulting from improved values, and in savings from the reduced policing, fire protection and other social services needed by blighted sections.

New Use of Drug Prevents
Clots, Aids
By. Science Service MIAMI, Fla, Nov. 6.—~Hope that doctors may be able to forestall |attacks of acute coronary thrombosis, a form of heart trouble, by continuous use of the drug, dicumarol, appears in a report by Drs. E. Sterling Nichol and David W. Fassett of this city at the meéting here of the Southern Medical association. One man who had three heart attacks within 13 months has been free of them and active in his business for the past 32 months during {which he has been getting doses of dicumarol. Another patient who had three attacks within 17 months was free of further attacks for 21 months. Then he had a' fourth and fatal attack. A blood. test just before he died indicated he probably had grown careless about taking the medicine, Three other patients who had had multiple attacks of coronary thrombosis have been getting dicumarol for six months and have been free of attacks during this time, Further Trial Needed The small number of patients and the fact that some persons with coronary thrombosis may go a number of years without attacks make it impessible to draw conclusions about the value of this prophylactic use of dicumarol, the Miami doctors point out. They believe the results justify further trial. Coronary thrombosis is a condition in which a clot forms in a branch of the coronary \artery supplying blood to the heart. Depending on the size, number and location of such clots, the hearf may be deprived of blood and oxygen to such an extent that it cannot go on pumping blood through the body. Dicumarol, first discovered in spoiled sweet clover which sickened cattle, is an anti-clotting agent.

Heart Patients
It is safe to use if careful tests are made frequently to be sure the blood has not lost too much clotting ability. Otherwise there might be danger of fatal hemorrhage. It has been used for several years to treat patients with coronary thrombosis, but its continuous use to prevent them is new. Autopsy studies on the patient who died revealed no ill effect from long continued use of dicumarol.

Cause of Physical Ailments
By Science Service NEW YORK, Nov, 6.-—Overwork is often a symptom of mental sick|ness, Dr. Thomas A. C. Rennie, | Cornell medical college psychiatrist, {warned the National Committee for Mental Hygiene,
Contrary to popular ideas, overwork rarely causes the kind of mental sickness called neurosis, The patient with overwork for a symptom probably, goes to his doc tor because he has indigestion of headaches or his heart bothers him. The doctor needs to do more than examine his heart and digestive system. He should take a careful history of the patient, seeking particularly for signs of dissatisfaction,
From 40 to 60 per cent of all patients need sympathetic undere standing of their emotional probe lems for their cure. Once the doce tor has satisfied himself that the patient's physical symptoms are due to emotional disturbance, he can tell the patient with authority that giving up emotional symptoms will effect a physical cure,
