Based on present figures, Presi-
dent Williams estimated today that
500 persons are being cared for by
the earnings of the 500 men given
employment under the plan.
Reports from industries are being
received by Williams and by the
Chamber of Commerce. and all in

employees reinstated in jobs.
Out-of-tow unemployed persons
should not come to Indianapolis
seeking employment.
This was the warning today Of

Efforts of Indianapolis Industries
to provide employment to additional
men by reducing the working week
and maintaining production at

entirely to caring for former en-

Close All Churches

bU OHtttU ETt6S
MOSCOW, Feb. 20.--Villagers in
Lotoshinsk, Sergeyevsk and other
rural communities near Moscow held
mass meetings today and voted to
close all churches and remove all
bells.
Such action has become increas-
ingly evident in recent weeks and
the first effect Of the foreign crusade
against anti-religious activities
doubtless will be to stimulate the
campaign against God.
1t is difficult to estimate how
many churches have gone under In
the aggressive crusade, but literally
hundreds have been devoted to
secular uses. The church bells Of
Russia, always q characteristic of
the country and an expression Of
the Russian mystic spirit, have dis
appeared by the thousands into the
melting pot, to emerge as metal for
industrial uses.
The anti-religious press Of Russia
continues to treat the -ruSade
abroad as merely part Of military
and political campaign against Rus
STA. Editorials regard the popes
Kerensky, the archbishop Of Center
bury. Sir Henry Deterding, General
Alexander Koutepof and others as
aliens in one cause.
In one article, the United States
was credited with leadership of an
anti Soviet bloc.

Adventurous Spirit, Cheap
Sandwiches Blamed in
Cumberland Holdup.

An adventurous spirit caused
Harry Reed, II, of Canton, O., tc
venture to the top of a f1agpole, zoe
feet above street level, at Canton
where he sat for $50 hours to break
the then-existing tiagpole sitting
record.
A like urge caused George E.
Swift, %, r. r. No. II, Post road,
and Reed to enter the gruelling
dance marathon contests at Detroit,
at Columbus, o., and at Monroe,
Mich. Swift winning the Columbus
contest.
Adventure, diet of cheap sand
wiches and the pressing need for
rent money had landed the two,
with william H. Stone, 20, of JUS
tus, o., in jail cells here today I'M
der charges of the $737 robbery Of
the Cumberland State bank Wednes-
day and of auto banditry. Police
say they have confessed.
In making the arrests, police re-
covered a total of $496 of the alleged
stolen funds. The three had burned
number of checks and several
bonds taken from the bank, at the
home of Swift's sister, Mrs. Gladys
Wilson, 1925 North Riley avenue,
they are said to have told officers.
Mrs. Wilson did not know of the
crime or of the fact they burned
the checks and bonds at her home,
she said.
II got $3.50 for the flag pole
sitting" Reed told police. Swift
was the only one who got anything
from the dance marathons, but we
got our meals, anyway, during the
time we danced"
Reed and Swift, they told police,
met at Meyers Lake park, near Can
ton, where Reed was a life guard
and Swift had refreshment stand
last summer.
Coming here Feb. 8, the two be-
came acquainted with Stone, they
said, and engaged an apartment at
the Cambridge.
"I was tired of eating cheap sand
witches and had nothing else for
three days" Reed told police.
"Our room rent was due and We
had to have money.
Then, too, I guess, the adventure
appealed to all of us. It looked like
easy money. We didn't stop to
think whether we'd be captured Oh
whether we would shoot any one il
we were trapped.
after the holdup, we were fright
ened and we decided to get out Of
town for q day or SO. We started
to Richmond and the tire went fiat
on the car we had stolen just after
we got there.
when the police car came up
was certain they knew who we were
and I ran without stopping tt
think"
All three prisoners declare the
robbery was their first crime. Po-
lice find no criminal records against
them.

Plain Talk magazine for December
1929, as Showing where DR.. Oman
stands" The article touching OK
nam is entitled Liberals in Los
Angles" by Louis Ademic. It may
be offered in evidence against the
De Paw president.
The paragraph dealing with him
specifically follows:
"a rev years ago there was In
town a Methodist minister-Meth-
odist in name only-Bromley OK
nam. man of tremendous personal
force, who ran dingy institution
called the Church of All Nations,
preaching in a vacant storeroom in
an out-of-the-way street, interest
ing himself in all sorts of liberal and
radical movements, fighting for
atheistic wobblies who got into jail,
pacifists, anarchists and other VIC
TINS of police persecution; running
for office on independent tickets;
speaking from all sorts of platforms
five or six times a week.
HE wanted to stay IN Los
Angeles, but it was no place for a
man of his sincerity and capacity;
and so when he received an offer of
the presidency of De Paw univer-
sity in Indiana, he wisely accepted
it,"
It now appears that he may have
hard shedding at De PAW.

been outstanding for its awakened
interest in social problems. The

NOME, Alaska, Feb. 20.-The
body of Carl Ben Eielson, aviator
who was lost Nov. 8, 1929, has been
found.
A radiogram from the rescue ship
Nanuk said the body was found in
the wreckage of the Eielson plane,
about ninety miles southeast OF
North Cape, Siberia.
Finding of the body ended a
search that started few days after
Eielson and his mechanic, Earl Bor-
land, were lost while flying from
Teller, Alaska, to the Nanuk, a fur
ship at North Cape.
Borland'S body was found last
week buried in the snow near the
wrecked plane.
Joe Crosson, rescue pilot, signed
the message which said the body
had been found. He said that Eiel-
son, like Borland, had been killed
instantly when the plane crashed.
The bodies Of both aviatorS are to
be sent to Fairbanks. Indications
were, Crosson said, that the plane
crashed due to poor visibility. and
was smashed badly by its impact
with the earth. Pieces of the ship
were scattered over a wide area.
On Jan. Is the wreckage of the
plane was located and last week
Borland's body was found buried in
the snow and Wednesday the body
OF Eielson was found.
Eielson was one of the best
known airplane pilots ever to engage
in exploration work at the opposite
ends of the earth. He had guided
planes over both Arctic and Ant
arctic wastes.
His best known feat was accom-
plished in April, 1928, when, with
Captain George II, Wilkins, he flew
the 1000 miles from Point Barrow,
Alaska, to Spitzbergen. This flight
preceded the similar exploits of
Road AmundSen and Lincoln Els
worth in a dirigible and Comman-
der Richard E. Byrd in a plane.
