By NOBLE REED Copyright, 1951, by The Indianavolis Times A criminal costs the people about $285,000 during his lifetime. A few hundred dollars spent during childhood could have saved him. Twenty thousand Indianapolis school pupils, 10 per cent of whom had been in trouble with the law, said they didn’t believe they were getting the right kind of {'break.” Their complaints were registered in a questionnaize ast week. The survey was conducted by The Times and the Indianapolis School Admin-

Hike Health Pay, Schricker Urged
State Health Commissioner IL. E. Burney and members of the Board of Health today appealed to Gov. Schricker to raise the salaries of state physicians, health technicians and health engineers. The group, along with Budget Freehafer, met with the Governor at the Statehouse shortly before noon. Dr. Burney sald it was particularly. important for the state to increase the pay for the professional workers at this time. He said four such workers left recently and others are likely to leave unless a pay raise is forthcoming. Dr. Burney explained that private Industry and private practice offers professional workers higher financial returns than the state. About 100 workers are in the professional category, Dr. Burney said.
