SPRINGFIELD PLANS
TO BUILD PAVING

Though Springfield lost in its bat
tie with High Commissioner Babcock
to have Trunk Highway No. z routed
through it's main street and con-
sequently is not receiving full benefit
of pavement on that highway, paving
of the principal business street there
is practically assured.
Mr.. Babcock routed the highway
through the residential section of the
city, a few blocks north of the prin-
cipal business street but with the
plan of the business men to get state
and county aid in the additional paw
ing, the city will soon have more
paved streets than they would have
had the highway been routed through
Main street.
Only 35 per cent of the property
owners signatures is necessary I'M
der law. The petition asking for the
paving on Cass avenue from Rock
street (where the new highway paw
ing is laid) to Central street, contain
ed signatures of 60 per cent of the
property owners. The Central street
petition, calling for paving from the
Kreitinger garage to the west city
limits, contained 43 per cent of the
property owners signatures.

Mine Probers Greeted by
BeatingS by Harlan
County Mob.

By United Press
KNOXVILLE. Tenn, April IL
Five faculty members and students
from Commonwealth college, Mena,
Ark, claimed here today they had
been beaten and forced out of Har-
Ian county, Kentucky, by men OPP
posed to their investigation of Goa:
mining conditions.
Lucien Koch, president; Harold
Coy, current history teacher, and
Sam Sandbergh, Leo Gruilo and Ike
Greenberg charged they were beat
en- with birch switches and released
across the Virginia state line. Coy'S
back was marked by long welt.
Entering Pineville, KY, early
Sunday, Police Chief Osborne forced
us to the side of the road and es-
corted us into town." one of the
students said.
I'VE conferred with Osborne and
Mayor Brooks. The Pineville Of
flclalS insisted that we make peace
bonds. President Koch objected
Finally he was forced from the
wheel of our car. 1t was taken
over by a citizen of Bell county. We
headed for Harlan, after food and
clothing we had brought for dis
tribution to strikers was tossed
along the road"
About a mile out of Pineville, a
member of the student group said, a
long line of automobiles from Har-
Ian, bearing white. flags, met the
Bell county delegation. Newspaper
men following the cars were ordered
to halt for an hour.
Koch said the party then was
taken to Black mountain on the
Kentucky Virginia state line where
he claimed he was chained by the
wrists, his coat was removed, and
he was beaten by switches cut from
the mountain brush, Coy and
Sandbergh also were beaten, it was
claimed.

Aggressive Weapons Must
Be Junked for Peace,
Arms Farley Told.

By United Press
GENEVA, April ia resolution
for the abolition of tanks, the use
of gases and mobile guns about 155
millimeters was introduced in the
general commission of the world
arms conference today by Hugh S.
Gibson, United States delegate.
The resolution, presented imme-
diately after the convention of the
conference from it's Easter recess,
provided that the nations under
take not to use such weapons in
event of war.
"The fear of aggression" Gibson
said, sis based on the existence of
peculiarly aggressive weapons of
land warfare. A feeling of security
will not be restored until we restore
to defense the superiority over ag-
gresSion which it enjoyed in for
mer times. The only way to restore
such superiority is to do away with
such weapons"
Today'S proposal had its origin in
series of conferences recently held
here among Secretary Stimson,
Norman H. Davis, disarmament del
egate, and others. 1t goes further
than the original American propo-
sal, which suggested only the re-
duction of offensive arms, such as
tanks and heavy guns.

what is wrong. Have you crossed
me. Better directions please.
The $4,000 reward offer was made
by the New York Daily News, the
Chicago Tribune and the Detroit
Mirror.
In a statement Sunday night
Lindbergh said his identification of
the men to whom he paid the money
was accomplished only through
means" furnished by the kidnapers
in the ransom note which they left
in the baby's crib the night of
March l. Colonel Lindbergh'S
statment follows:
"At the time the baby was kid
mapped a ransom note demanding
$4,000 was left in the nursery. For
obvious reasons it was necessary to
withhold all information regarding
this ransom note. A means was
offered in the ransom note of posi-
tive identification of the kidnapers
thereafter.
Subsequent notes received were
identified by this means and at the
time that the ransom was paid
over, the kidnapers used this same
means to positively identify them
selves as the ones who had carried
off the baby
This is the only means by which
Colonel Lindbergh can know for
fact that he is dealing with the
kidnapers. 1t has been withheld and
will be withheld by Colonel Lind
bergh for future Identification.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1932-04-11

A combination of news
papers offered a $4,000 re-
ward for exclusive informa-
ton leading to return of the
baby. Whether the Lind
berghs would view this move
favorably was uncertain, for
hitherto they had discouraged
offer of outside rewards, lest
these complicate their own
contacts.
Lindbergh still is ready to deal
with the kidnapers and agrees not
to harm them. He turned in the
numbers of bills merely because
they had double crossed" him.
Moreover, the state police now
admit that their primary work now
is directed to return of the child
and there significantly is no men
ton of punishment or apprehen-
sion.
Contacts with the kidnapers APP
parently were established by means
of advertisements in New York pa
perS inserted by DR.. j. F. Condor,
whose initials were combined to
make the signature "JafSie."
Condor, aged and kindly, re-
tired public school principal, placed
the ads, the last of which carried
the significantly tragic observation.

1880 Admitted in Year
for Ills Contracted in
Civil Life.
MANY ALSO GET CASH
Some Given Treatment for
Weeks, With Added
Compensation.
BY TALCOTT POWELL,

More than half the facilities of
the worlds greatest hospital system,
originally set up by the government
for the war injured, now are being
used by veterans whose maladies
have not the remotest connection
with war.
There were 109,649 admissions to
the 800 institutions used for medical
treatment Of ex-soldiers by the vet
Grams administration in the last
fiscal year. Of these, the govern
ment owns 106 outright; the rest
are contract hospitals.
Only service-connected disabilities
are placed in these contract hos
pitfalls. Of the 109,6 $40 admissions,
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1932-04-11

26,799 came in for service connected
treatment. The remaining $3.50
patients were admitted for diseases
and injuries contracted in civil life
after the armiStice.
Free to All Veterans
This service is free to all veterans,
and the bill the taxpayers have to
foot now represents 10 per cent of
the billion dollars drawn from the
federal treasury this year to pay the
various bounties to eX-SoldierS.
Costs of medical services, soldiers
homes and administration are $112,-
228,707 for the present fiscal year
June, 1882, to June, 1880. They
will mount by five million dollars,
at least, during the next fiscal year,
even though congress does not lib
eralize hospital privileges of ex-
soldiers further.
Nor is free medical service all that
congress has granted in this con-
nection. The laws are so devised
that in many cases it means hard
cash in a veterans pocket if he can
manage to get into government
hospital.
For example, if a man feels that
he ought to be hoSpitalized at gov
eminent expense, he first applies for
examination. If called for examin-
alton by the veterans administra-
ton, his travelling expenses are paid
and he gets $265 additional a day
while he is under observation. Ere
quently these observation periods
last for several weeks.
May Get Compensation
These payments are all made be-
fore the doctors decide whether
there is anything really the matter.
If there is something wrong, he is
hospitalized at the taxpayers ex-
pense, regardless of his ability to
pay for private medical attention,
and regardless of whether his trou-
bles are connected with his war
service.
The kindness of a generous gov
eminent does not end at this point.
If the patient can show that his
condition was aggregated by his
