Intelligence DemOCruCyS
Chief Need, Says Angel
English Economist Speaks
at KirShbaum Center
Open Forum.

Democracy is inevitable. Let us
make the most of it by the applica-
ton of intelligence.
This was the thesis OF Norman
Angel, English publicist and econ
omiSt. developed before an audience
that filled the auditorium at Kirsh-
baum Community Center Sunday
night. Angel came as one of the
lecturers on the Jewish Community
Center Association Open Forum
series.
Although a believer in democracy,
Angel does not believe that the
voice Of the people is the voice
of God.
The voice of the people is more
apt to be the voice 70 Satan" he
said.
Our modern education has made
the trivial interesting" he declared,
and cited newspaper space devoted
to movie stars and wanderings of
royalty as cases in point.
I'VE have sufficient knowledge to
make democratic government sue
cessful, but we have failed to apply
it. Our education should lay less
stress on the purely international
idea and more on the proper
methods of thought and applica-
ton"
Angel recommended extension of
the city manager idea from city to
larger governmental units as one of
the ways to apply modern tools to
the government of democracy.
In the questioning that followed
the address he refused to state
whether or not he thought the
United States should enter the
League of Nations, but pointed out
that any nation that believes in
peace must be willing to surrender
some national sovereignty, thus
making arbitration possible.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, March 12.-Ths
courage Of striking Pennsylvania
miners and their families in fight
ing for IAN American wage and an
American standard Of living" was
praised by the Senate Coal Invests
eating subcommittee in it's report
to the full committee today.
Your committee was impressed
with the courage and determination
OF the miners to stand up for what
they believed was their due" the
report stated. I'VE found little
complaint about living conditions
the miners have been forced to at
tempt. The splendid courage of the
women was especially noticeable"
Condemn Coal Police
The report condemned activities
of the coal and iron police hired by
mine operators and the actions of
the Ohio and Pennsylvania Relief
Society, which. it said was preach
ing doctrine of disloyalty" to the
United Mine Workers and to the
Government.
Everywhere your committee
visited it found victims of the coal
and iron police, who had been
beaten up and were still SCARED on
their faces and heads from the
rough treatment they had received
the report said I'VE found more or
less evidence of bootlegging and in
one community especially it seemed
as if the morals had been broken
down entirely.
"The Shiny trail of an organiza-
ton known as the Ohio and Penn
sylvania Relief Society was every
where evident. The more suffering
and distress we found the more GER
tain we were to find the society
active offering food and clothing to
the miners. breaking the injunc-
lions by mass picketing and preach
ing diSloyalty."
Believe Conditions Serious
The report set forth in detail the
activities of the subcommittee
from the time it arrived in Pitts
burgh on Feb %, until its return
to Washington on Feb. %. No ef-
fort was made, it explained, to in
Vestigate economic aspects of the
situation, the sub committee con-
filming itself to the human side Of
the problem
Your committee believes condi-
lions existing in the Pittsburgh dis
trict and other coal fields are of
the most serious nature and dam
gerous to the best interests of our
citizenship" it concluded.
THE urge that the Investigation
Of the full committee be searching
and severe. looking forward to some
legislation that will put the coal
industry on reasonably profitable
basis"
The full committee continued
hearings today. with mine oper-
ators, subpoenaed at request of the

Second COP
ATTACK STIRS
WORLEY'S IRE
Passenger With PatroIman
Shot Through Head
From Ambush.
HAT ADDS TO MYSTERY
Doubts That Shooting Has
Close Connection With
SChoen Killing.

The second ambushing of Indian
apolis policemen within a week
today commanded the personal at
tention of Police Chief Claude M.
Worley.
Patrolman Norman Schoen was
killed in Irvington Tuesday night.
An automobile in which Patrol
man Martin Fahey. partner OF
Schoen, was riding in E. Minnesota
st. was fired at, Sunday morning.
Harry Tumble, "a, of the Emily
Apis, Senate Ave. and Vermont SITS,
a passenger in the car, was wounded
dangerously in the head. The car
was driven by Patrolman Murl R.
Pollock, who owns it.
Negro Is Accused
One of three Negroes hiding be-
hind trees did the shooting, Fahey
declared. The two policemen took
Trumble to city hospital, where his
condition is serious.
One of the mysterious clrcum-
stances of the shooting was the
finding of Trumble's bullet-pierced
and blood-stained hat at Massa-
chusetts and Cornell AYES, four
miles from the scene of the shoot
ing. Trumble identified the hat,
but gave no explanation as to how
it got where it was found.
Worley declared he believes one
of the Negroes connected with the
shooting affair is a man now under
arrest.
Following "Scarface" Tip
Fahey told him he was following
a tip which he thought might lead
to the capture of the "Scartace
bandit who has staged several hold
ups here recently, Worley said.
Worley declared he did not be"
Eeve the shooting had any connec-
ton with the fatal shooting OF
Patrolman Schoen.
Fahey and Schoen had been
working beat, together. March
they arrested a Negro in the 600
block, w. Washington st. They
said they caught the Negro trying
to get in a parked car. Another
Negro fled.
The captured Negro attempted to
pull a knife from his pocket and
the arresting officers beat him with
their maceS.
Negro Is Held
The Negroes wounds were dressed
at city hospital and he still is held
in city prison on charges OF carry
ing and drawing deadly weapons and
resisting an officer.
Chief Worley, however, said he
had information which caused him
to discount the possibility that the
bullet which hit Trumble was in
tended for Fahey and was fired by
someone seeking revenge for the
arrest of the alleged Negro car thlet.
