ATTORNEY CALLS
ITALIAN FASCISM
DEMOCRACY FOE
MussoIini a Challenge to
Representative Idea
of Government.

THE boldest challenge represent
alive government ever faced has
come out Of Italy in the rise of Fas-
cism," said Oswald Ryan, attorney,
Of Anderson, Ind, in an address
Wednesday night before the Y. M.
c. A. Bible Investigation Club. His
subject was "Mussolini's Challenge
to Modern Government. Ryan, as
a member Of the United States Inlmi-
grafton commission, had personal
conferences with the italian dictator
and made a first hand study of the
rise Of Fascism.
1.-The revolution in italy was the
first in human history that ever af-
forded the people less instead Of
more liberty; less ease instead of
more ease. It was the first revolu-
ton that ever held up for popular
loyalty. hardship, discipline and self
denial" Ryan said. "Yet such an
appeal has aroused the Italian
masses to frenzy Of enthusiasm.
People worship this blacksmith's
son, this man with dynamite in his
Dlood ana ughtnlng IN MS Drain,
who, within a few short years, has
arisen from poor political adven-
ture to be the most dynamic figure
in the European world.
'Democracy's best answer to
Fascism lies in proving that it can
efficiently discharge the difficult
obligation Of modern government.
Fascism, on it's internal side, is a
movement against democracy and
against communism. On its ex-
ternal side and as a foreign policy
it is a movement of imperialism"
1.-THE government that lasts must
be a government that Is competent

former attorney-general, is head OF
the, Midland Bank.
Did anyone else ever stay In the
house?" Simpson asked.
mo, we had no accommodations
for them." was the answer.
Government Opens Battle
Calling of the old butler marked
the opening of the Governments at
tempt to establish a connection be-
tween Daugherty and the trans
actions which followed Richard
Merton's agreement to pay John T.
King SAL. 900 for obtaining return
to German and Swiss owners OF
$7,000,000 assets Of the American
Metals Company, seized as German
property during the war.
Daugherty and Smith usually
breakfasted together and frequently
had lunch there together, Miller
said, while they had many break
fast and luncheon guests.
Asked to name some OF the people
who frequently called there, he
named William J. Burns, detective;
Colonel Forbes of the Veterans
Bureau: Guy ". Golf, now Senator
from West Virginia and at that time
an assistant to Daugherty; Howard
Mangdon, Colonel Miller, co-defend-
ant with Daugherty, and the late
John T. King.
King, he said, was a particularly
frequent caller and also often called
Daugherty by telephone.
At Justice Department
The butler said he later was given
position as file clerk in the De-
partment of Justice and that he saw
Smith there frequently.
Miller, on cross-examination, said
he had been impressed with the
close friendship between Daugherty
and King.
His cross-examination was brief,
and John Durkin, secretary to King,
who testified Wednesday, was re-
called.
He testified, under questioning by
Max D. Steuer, attorney for Daugh-
erty, that the two checks for $4,000
he told Wednesday of having seen
King draw TO Daugherty's credit,
were noted on the check stub as
having been for deficit Republican

| Durkin,, under questioning by U.
s. Attorney Emory R, Buckner. told
of two checks being made out by
King to Jesse Smith. One Of the
checks was for $4,000 and the other
4,143
Buckner handed Durkin a check
fore.
YES" was the answer.
It proved to be a check drawn by
King on his own account at the
Guarantee Trust Company, New
York, for $4,000 to Jesse Smith. 1t
was drawn in August, 1921.
Introduction of the check proved
something of a surprise as 1t never
had been produced in the grand
jury investigation OF the case and
caused wonder as to what records
Buckner might have held back.
The history of the $4,000 check
which Durkin first said was made
by King to Smith, became clouded,
however, when examination revealed
that Smiths name did not appear
on the face of the check or as an
endorsement, despite previous testi-
mony.

NUTRITION CAMP
SITE PURCHASED

Acre Tract Near Bridge
port.

With the purchase today of an
eighty-one-acre tract of land along
White Lick Creek, just north of
Bridgeport, by the Marion County
tuberculosis Association, plans were
announced for the development Of
what the sponsors say will be the
most modern child nutrition camp in
America.
The tract will be developed as
rapidly as resources Of the associa-
ton permit, it was announced. Deed
for the tract, comprising S1.34 acres,
was filed today with John Castor,
county recorder, but the purchase
price was not announced. Selection
of the tract followed a two-year sur
vey of available sites. Committee
selecting the site was composed of
Mrs. James Barrett, chairman; DR..
Alfred Henry, Mrs. A. c. Rasmus-
sen, Joseph Hayes and John Lauck
Jr. Funds for making the pur-
chase were derived from the sale of
tuberculosis seals during past years.
Need Shown
A report of Mrs. Florence Bell, the
associations nutrition expert, to the
Council of Social Agencies showed
that a large proportion Of the
children in the seven summer camps
here this year were suffering with
one or more serious defects.
OF 1888 examined, AL had de-
fective tonsils and adenoids, 274 had
defective teeth, 800 had fiat feet, 429
had enlarged cervical glands, 21S has
enlarged thyroid glands and forty
two had defective hearts. Summary
showed that the 1888 children had
3,013 physical defects.
Recognizing the seriousness OF
this record, the association foresaw
the need Of a summer retreat for
the afflicted children. A general
study of child health problems con.
WINGED officials of the association
that modern methods Of child nutri-
ton were the most adaptable in
bringing the children back to normal
health.
Following experimentation in the
city schools, under direction Of the
tuberculosis association, the school
board and the city board Of health
joined in a systematic plan Of child
nutrition in the schools. Last year
more than 100 child nutrition classes
were held in the city schools. The
experiments showed a marked i'm
provement in academic work follow.
ing the crusade against under
nourishment.
Gifts Asked
Directors Of the association, in an
nouncing the purchase, emphasized
the fact that private or public gifts
will be necessary before adequate
buildings and equipment for the new
institution can be obtained.
The new tract is ideally situated
for the work to which 1t is to be
dedicated, it was declared. The land
lies in a rolling section, through the
center of which courses White Lick
Creek. High ground in the south
part Of the reservation will be uti-
lized for building purposes. The city
park board will be solicited to land
scape the tract, 1t is understood.
Present plans call for the erection
of at least one building by next sum-
mer, when the first nutrition camp
will be held.
