But Check Fails To Back Up Mayor

Engineer R. H. Sprungman re-|. ported “very little difficulty” with | the meters in cold weather. He estimated the trouble jams at! less than 5 per cent.” He added that the city had tested and rejected Mark Time meters because “they can be jammed easily.”

Milwaukee, Wis. — Have 1000 meters of McGee-Hale Co. City Engineering Aid Gerald Landt repo¥ted “we seldom have trouble, with our meters in cold weather.”

He added that “we like our meter and we're gonna keep it.” Had! less than 10 per cent jam trouble, Mr. Landt reported.

Duluth, Minn.—Have had 750 Mark Time meters ot Rhodes Co. Recently installed 250 Miller meters of Duncan Co. Duluth Street Commissioner R. G. Fiskett reported the new meters were purchased because ‘“we found the Mark Time meters: are easier to jam and break faster.” Also reported “not too much difficulty in cold weather.”

Sault Sainte Marie, Mich.—Have had 300 meters of Duncan Co. for 10 years. City Manager Gilbert Peterman said the city tested all types of meters and found only two suited for cold climate—the Dual and the Duncan. “We had less than 10 per cent jams last month,” he said.

Checking the Mayor's statement on “deliberate sabotaging” of meters, The Times checked police headquarters. Very Little Trouble Deputy Police Inspector Richard Jacob said: “We have very few calls on deliberate parking meter jams. No one has been convicted. We

had one suspected case, but no one could prove it was malicious.” The Works, Board yesterday approved the purchase of 2200 new Mark Time meters despite a recommendation By a committee of technical engineers, representing the Indianapolis Technical Societies, that another model was better. Requested by City Hall The committee was formed at the request of City Hall. Mayor Bayt said this morning, however, that on the new parking meter bid, the city had not asked for an opinion from the technical committee.

“We didn't want to wait three months for them to make up their minds,” the Mayor said. “So we went ahead without them.” The committee's last recommendations to the Works Board came Dec. 15, 1950. They are still on file with the board, but have not been made public. It was learned, however, that the committee approved the meters of the Duncan Co., one manual and one agytomatic.

Joseph Kennedy Sr., member of the Hospital Board said “wei wouldn't care to discuss the sterilization aspect.” He added that the board’s policy was in accord with the State Board of Health and American College of Surgeons Thoroughly Sincere

“The man (Mr. Askue) is thoroughly sincere, but he exercised no tact or judgment in dutting through his policies. He tried to do in three”months what ordinarily would take much longer,” Mr. Kennedy said. Mr Askue was named Hospital administrator in January. It was his first fulltime pnst as hospital chief. Dr. Leroy Burney, one of two State Health Board officers called into the dispute, said sterilization was not contrary to Indiana law when there was “medical reason” behind it. He said he believed the dispute resulted * from Mr. Askue’s “misconception” of the process. One of the cases the administrator referred to was a transfer patient from a Catholic hospital in Kokomo, which Mr. Burney said was “by policy unsvmpathetic toward sterilization.” Not Based on Religion

Mr. Askue countered that he] was a Presbyterian, and that his objections were not based on re-| ligion. { He added that he was not opposed to sterilization that is ‘“‘un-

Sirens ‘Pretty Sparse’ James Sullivan, spokesman for the County Civil Defense, feported the sirens were ‘pretty sparse” on the north side, but ‘“overwhelming” in the East Side factory district. Charles R. Broderick, County Civil Defense director, said the test was only a ‘“‘partial success.” “Co-operation by the public was very good, but more education is needed. I personally observed that

He scored the state tax board for blocking a $20,000 appronriation made last year by the City Council. and he recommended that Gov. Schricker immediately appoint the state Civil Defense Council set up by the recent legislature. “Even in some downtown sections we could hardly hear the sirens,” he said. Along Washington St. downtown, a faint, early siren went unheeded. Then came three sirens from Firehouse 13, and policemen swung into action. They halted all traffic. Purpose of halting traffic was

Sixty have made no application for state funds and 15 or 20 carry the balance of the state's active working fund. One local banker said: “Naturally, we don’t like to have a deposit withdrawn.
