NEGLECT TAKES
HUGE TOLL OF
INDIAN BABIES
DerIorabIe Conditions are
Revealed in Suppressed
Red Cross Report.
BY C. J. LILLEY
Times STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Lives of
Indian children have been wasted
through neglect and through failure
OF the federal government to give
them proper care, Miss Florence
Patterson, Red Gross nurse, reveals
in an official Red Cross report sup
pressed for four year and just made
public by the senate Indian investi-
eating committe.
Although the records of infant
mortality are far from complete
and many children probably have
been born and died without any
record being made of them, Miss
Patterson said far more Indian chill
dren are dying III proportion than
are children Of the general popula-
tion.
"A few family histories show, per-
haps much better than the available
statistics, the waste in child lives .
Miss Patterson says in her report.
1.-THE facts were given by the fam
lilies to the writer while visiting
in the homes"
Death Toll High
Family No. 1: Thirteen children
one living. Most all died of
smallpox"
Family No. 2: Twelve children
two living. All died when very
young, of fever"
Family No. 5: Five children-one
living. Young parents. One child
lived twelve days, cord did not
heal" One lived four days, "fever. :"
One lived almost two years. One
lived about three weeks-"got sick :"
Family No. q Five children-two
living Young parents. All three
died before year old. "Fever and
cough"
Ill-advised feeding, lack of fresh
air in homes and tepees, custom of
always keeping the baby's face COW
cred when asleep, or in the open air,
and lack of nasal hygiene were
blamed largely.
Manifestations of malnutrition
we're general and acute in a large
proportion OF the children seen.
They repeatedly presented a pic
tllre similar to that of groups of
children in eastern Europe whom
government and voluntary agencies
rushed in to feed in the war-devas-
tated regions" the report added.
Diet Is Wrong
Faulty diet was universal, and
faulty personal hygiene and home
hygiene was almost as general.
Physical defects, bad teeth, en-
larged tonsils and other child trou-
bles were common, Miss Patterson
found in her visits to reservations.
Among most of the tribes in the
southwest, Miss Patteron discovered
that babies were not bathed for
week or ten days after birth. The

REVOLT ROCKS
THRONE UNDER
SPAIN'S RULER
Downfall of Alfonso XIII
ImpendS, as De Rivera
Loses Grip.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS.
Times stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5-The
dictatorship of General Primo de
Rivera, the Spanish Mussolini, is in
grave danger and, by the same tok-
en-. Americas favorite king, Alfonso
XIII, is webbing on his throne.
Spain is seething with revolt,
armed where the revolutioniStS
ware to raise a violent hand against
the regime, and moral where they
do not Nor has the army revolt,
begun last Tuesday, been entirely
put down, as announced by the
dictator.
While a rigid censorship is keep
ing details from the world, enough
news has leaked across the from
tier to make il clear that the trou-
bic is not definitely over.
The dictator simply has thrown
large and heavy iron lid on top
Of the erupting volcano, and on this
lid he and every loyal regiment he
can muster are sitting, trying to
hold it down. He may succeed for
time or he may not, but in Spain
it certainly is believed that sooner
or later he must go. He either will
fall off or be thrown off.
Alfonso Is PeriIed
Also the lid, of course, surrounded
by Rivera and his troops, is AL
fonso. If there is an explosion, his
own personal popularity may save
his crown, but even that depends
somewhat upon just how far he
permits himself to go in backing the
dictator.
Born king, his father having
died before Alfonso's birth, he made
a hit with all classes of his subjects
as a regular fellow, plucky to the
point Of foolhardiness, fond of all
kinds of sports and unusually demo-
cratic.
But Spaniards admit their king is
not as popular as he used to be. He
is A years old now, and Haps-
burg. Primo de Rivera, acting in
his name and presumably by his
authority, has aroused considerable
opposition in all but the most re-
dictionary classes, so the remaining
ties between the king and his people
are being subjected to considerable
strain.
Rivera came into power by mill
tary coup d'etat in 1923, during a
revolt caused by reverses in the
Moroccan war. His first acts were
to suppress the constitution, declare
martial law, abolish parliament and
set himself up as dictator, initiating
Mussolini, in Italy.
Elects Own Law Makers
In October, 1927, a new one-body
corteS, or national assembly, was
created, but it had no power beyond
suggesting laws which the dictator
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1929-02-05

can accept or reject as he pleases.
Moreover, its membership was
handpicked.
Some we're made permanenb
members, while others, to use Ri
vera's classic phrase, were freely
elected on the basis of government
nominations" That is to say out of
a list of men who were not OBJ
jectionable tc the dictator, the peo-
pie could elect anybody they
pleased.
There have been number of re-
volts in Spain since the dictate
ship, but illiteracy is high and the
outburstS have not been well syn
chronized. The military have been
able to put them down piecemeal.
