BIRTH RATE TOPS DEATHS IN STATE DURING 1947

Indianapolis Robert E. Serfling, director, division of public health statistics, Indiana State Board of Health, said more persons were born in Indiana last year than in the preceding year and a few more deaths occurred. Serf ling said: “The birth rate shows the greater incerase, jumping from 22.5 in 1946 to 25 in 1947. However, births during the latter part of 1947 were fewer than in the same period of 1946, indicating that the peak of the post-war increase has been passed. Only a slight increase is shown in the death rate which was 10.5 last year and 19.2 in 1946. Fewer babies died last year as compared to the preceding year. The infant mortality rate was 29.9 in 1947 and 31.7 in 1946. The lives of more mothers were saved in 1947, as shown by the maternal death rate which decreased from 1.5 in 1946 to 1.1 in 1947.”

URGES BOTH G.O.P. AND DEMOCRATS NAME M’ARTHUR ON TICKETS

Washington, Jan. 22 A proposal that both the Republicans and Democrats pick Gen. MacArthur as their candidate for President was made today by J. E. McDonald, Texas commissioner of agriculture. The gravity of the times justifies such unprecedented action, said the Texan in a statement, adding that a MacArthur administration would “bring about understanding and establishment of an enduring peace.” “With the presence of the destructive atomic bomb and the damnable threat of communism, it is quite apparent that the United States will, and within the next four years, encounter the greatest crisis in its history,” he declared. “In this period, leadership will be imperatively needed. Capable leadership is the one thing which this nation does not have now.”
