1.-The next Olympics were held in
London in 1908 and were character
lied by the advent of the first cheer

Olympics at Stockholm was the re-

dock, where a group of SwedeS were

get up in the morning, get hair

trary to all expectations. we only won
one running event, the 400 meters,
which was taken by Ray Barbuti OF

distress on the Atlantic today, one
of seven vessels battered by pound

BREAK IN COLD
WAVE FORECAST
Slight Letup Scheduled
Today, Says Arlington.
Hourly Temperatures

Slight letup in the intense cold
which has griDped the city for more
than two days, was forecast today
by J. H. Arlington, weather bureau
chief.
Temperatures today rose three de-
grees above the low mark Monday
when the mercury dropped to Sc
degrees, lowest in fifteen months.
Tonight and Wednesday probably
will be unsettled, accompanied by
occasional snow flurries. No great
rise in temperature is expected,
Arlington said
Snowfall probably will not be
heavy enough for shedding or to in
terfere with traffic, he said.
AS the cold area, originating in
the northwest, swooped southwark
over the midwest and Atlantic sea-
board Saturday, it was marked by
only light SHOWS over the entire
country. Heaviest snowfall was re-
ported in the Rockies.
Arlington said the section in
which the frigid area originated is
warming up, and the cold wave
probably has reached the peak.
No effort to remove snow from
downtown streets will be made I'M
less the precipitation is increased
considerably, Commissioner w, H.
WinShip said early today.s
Il don't believe this snow will be-
come heavy enough to cause trou-
BILE" he said, "but if it does, en-
ployes of the street department can
be modified on short notice"
Winship said in event of a heavy
snow he would not use made-work
laborers, except as last resort, be-
cause most of them are clothed in
adequately for such outdoor tasks

Filler Takes Over Almost Single-Handed Task
of Getting Back Baby Son, Kidnapped
From Home Week Ago.
Quarrels With Head of State Patrol Force,
and Makes 1t Clear That He Does Not
Want Wires Tapped or Letters Read
BY BATES RANEY


HONEYWELL, N. j., March
8.-Colonel Charles A. Lind
bergh and Captain John j..
Lamb, in charge of state po-
lice stationed at the Lind
bergh residence, engaged in a
warm argument today over
the handling of telephone
calls coming into the home.
Colonel Lindbergh has insisted
upon personally handling all calls
that come to his home bearing upon
the kidnapping of his son, since ne
has pledged himself to offer all pos
sible protection to the kidnapers.
Sunday he learned that a state
trooper has been listening in on
each call to the Lindbergh home.
He protested to the telephone COM
pany, and the police were forth
with ordered to discontinue this
practice.
Quarrels With Officer
This morning he walked into the
house and found Captain Lamb
talking on the Lindbergh private
telephone.
What are you doing on that tele-
phone?" Colonel Lindbergh was
quoted as demanding.
1T rang and I answered it," Cap
tain Lamb is said to have replied.
Colonel Lindbergh obviously was
irritated.
Il want it understood very clear
ly, now" he was quoted as saying,
that you nor any other policeman
is ever to touch a telephone in this
house."
BUT, Colonel Captain
Lamb demonstrated, only to be in
terrupted.
Il want you police to realize that
you are here through my courtesy,
so please refrain from interfering
with my business" the Colonel was
quoted as replying.
Captain Lamb then left the
house, and went to the garage
where the state police are quar-
tered.
Break With Police Possible
Reports have persisted that rela-
tons between members of the Lind
bergh family and state police have
been somewhat strained and it was
said here today that Colonel Lind
bergh is permitting state troopers
to remain on his estate only be-
cause they serve to keep an army
of nearly two hundred reporters
and photographers away.
Governor A. Harry Moore and
heads of the state troopers have,
in the last forty-eight hours, in
Dictated their complete willingness
to cooperate with him in any plan
of action he has decided upon in
obtaining return of his baby, and
have announced they will aid the
kidnapers in return of the baby.

INDIANA SENATORS ARE
CALLED FOES OF JOBLESS
Watson, Robinson Helped
Defeat Relief Bill, Says
Peoples Lobby Speaker.

Denunciation of Senators James
E. Watson and Arthur Robinson for
voting against the Costigan-La Fol-
lette bill for federal unemployment
relief was made today by Benjamin
G. Marsh of Washington, D. c., ex-
ecutive secretary of the Peoples
Lobby, in an address at the Y. W.
G. A.
Marsh declared that five million
persons will be jobleSs in the nation
unless the present economic system
is changed and government relief
given the unemployed.
1T is time we stopped being os-
triches in America and face the Sit
uation,' Marsh declared.
Watson Unsympathetic, Charge
Both Watson and Robinson
voted against the bill for $375,-
100000 to meet the cost of caring
for unemployed for whom work can
IlOC De IOuIlu.
Nearly a year and a half ago,
Watson, majority leader of the
senate, said every man under the
flag is entitled to a job Watson
has devoted most of his activities
in Washington to increasing I'M
employment and the number of
multimillionaires as he conceives
to be the chief job of the govern
ment.
IF the present economic situation
continues, as Watson and Robinson
probably would admit privately, we
are going to have not 10000 or
100000, but at least three to five
million people unemployed for a
number of years.
Public Seen Looted
1--WE have reached the crucial
point. The government has got to
change its role of keeping people in
subsection while they are legally
looted by the votes of men like Wat
son and Robinson, or we are going
to have a continuous depression"
Marsh stated that at least
$4,000, 100000 of taxes now levied
upon the workers must be trans
ferred to property through increas-
ing surtaxes on large incomes, es-
tate taxes and taxing land values
before the depression is ended.
Makes Plea to Negroes
1.-THE Costigan-La Toilette bill
was a very moderate measure de-
signed to keep the people alive
while we are reorganizing our eco
nonic system to prevent revolu-
ton, for the American people are
too good fighters to be starved by
criminal conspiracy, the Repub-
lican-Democratic machine-toolS Of
Wall Street." Marsh stated.
"Some bourbon Democratic sena-
tors voted against the Costigan-La
Toilette bill and their reason was,
frankly, to prevent the Negroes
from getting relief on the same
basis as white people.
These Democrats could not have
succeeded with their anti-Negro
vote, however, but for the Repub-
licans, including Watson and Rob-
inson, who voted with twenty-five
other Republican senators to dis
criminate against the Negroes. We
hope the Negroes up north will keep
this in mind when it comes to the
next election.

FISHBACK, DISGUISED AT
COUNCIL FUTILITY,' QUITS

This is the second resignation in
the council. Roy Sahm, supporter
of Fishback's policies, recently re-
signed and was succeeded by Ed
ward ReaSoner.
Disappearing the detention home
bond issue "as unwise at this time, "
the council instructed county COM
missioners to lease a home to re-
place the present one. Commits
sioners have five rental proposals
under consideration.
County Auditor Charles A. Gros-
sart will call a special council meet
ing within ten days to select Fish
backs successor.

Fishback, today forced the council
to restore $3.50 cut from salaries

Declaring the county council has
become mere rubber stamp" in
the Marion county governmental
machine, Frank S. Fishback, presi-
dent, today submitted his resigna-
tion, effective Immediately.
His resignation was given Walter
Boetcher, vice-president of the
council, shortly after councilmen
had refused a $4,000 appropriation
for new juvenile detention home.
This council has not been able
to do anything. 1t looks like all
our laws are drawn in favor of office
holders, instead Of for benefit of the
taxpayers" Fishback stated.
A chorus of that is right" and
mods from other members, signified

ago ordered the council 10 pay the

building council and the arson in
veStigation turned over to the
state police.
But by this I do not mean the
state police as now constituted, .
Hogston explained
Il mean state police revamped
on a nonpolitical basis, function
ing on merit under a chief chosen
by bipartisan board. These police
officers should have full police pow
ers and not only take over the ar
son work, but also that of the fish
and game wardens, who also should
be abolished.
Then the inspection work done
by my department, should be under
the state building council and thus
have one inspector for all pur-
poses and eliminate duplication.
Il have done considerable think
ing about this plan and am con-
WINGED it would increase efficiency
to four or five times that the pres
ent setup and save the state a
minimum of 100000 year in
operating costs"
Hogston asserted that now an
epidemic of inspectors from the
board of health, industrial board
and his Office swarm about the
state, Fostering the citizenry with
inspection after inspection" This
could be handled in one inspection
under the state building council,
which is composed of an advisory
body of technicians, rather than
politicians, he pointed out.
