Rescued by Plane.
BIZ United Press

By United Press
ORAN, Algeria, Feb. 8-Three
French f1iers who listened in by ra-
dio on rescue directions and musical
programs broadcast after they were
forced down to face death from
thirst or the lure of desert mirages,
have been rescued from the blister
ing, wind-swept sands.
Flying high over the desert,
French airmen in rescue plane
sighted a tiny black speck, which
broke the otherwise unending vista
of trackless wastes and dunes. They
began circling over their objective.
In a valley of sand they sighted
the three missing airmen, sitting be-
side their plane. Their water supply
was exhauted. They had coaXed the
last ounce Of power from the bat
terieS of their portable radio. They
awaited rescue, or death.

PENSIONINC OF
AGED FAVORED
BY LARRABEE
Representative of Indiana
Backs DiII-Connery Bill
for Federal Aid.

BIZ Times Special
WASHINGTON. Feb. 8-Indians
and other states that herd their
aged poor into aims houses might
be persuaded to discontinue the
barbarous practice and provide old
age pensions if assistance is offered
by the federal treasury.
Such is the belief and hope OF
Representative William H. Larrabee
Dem.) New Palestine, Ind, who has
Joined with other liberals in an at
tempt to force a showdown IN tins
session of congress on the Dill
Connery bill.
The Dill-C onnery measure, re-
Gently approved by the house labor
committee, would appropriate $l0'-
100000 annually for federal aid to
be apportioned among the states
that provide pensions to aged ana
INDECENT citizens.
Poorhouses Assailed
This bill" said Larrabee To-Day,
will provide federal aid Tor ola
age pensions up to one-third OF tne
cost and believe will bring states
like our own into line. nope II
will help to Danish disgracetul poor
houses from the land"
Citing the Marion county poor
bo,,ea as "borribIe example" Lar
rabee said:
I'm the county in which our state
Capitol is located, conditions nave
prevailed in years past that would
not be permitted in institutions for
the punishment Of criminals.
Crowded into quarters that would
not be considered fit institutions Oh
correction and punishment, the pow
erty-stricken aged Of this county
have lived among conditions that
are an utter disgrace to civilized
state. 1 have no doubt that there
are conditions equally as bad, or
worse, in the homes for poor in
many other states and many other
communities.
ct is foolish to talk of waiting
for prosperity to Danish the poor
house. There is only one way in
which it can be abolished, and that
is to provide in a humanitarian
way for the aged and INDECENT.
1--WE must remember, The poor,
we shall always have among u.s. 1t
is the purpose Of government to
protect and provide for the weak.
Refers to Leslie Veto
eff congress can find it within its
power to vote a $2,000,000,000 dole
to gigantic financiers and corpora
tions who have wrecked themselves
with their gambling in Wall Street
and in foreign loans and foreign
stocks and securities, it will have a
hard time explaining to the people
back home if it votes down the
federal old age pension aid bill"
The last paragraph was directed
at the reconstruction finance bill,
recently enacted over the opposition
of Larrabee and a handful Of others
in the senate and house.
Larrabee's interest in old age
pensions dates from the time lie
was a member of the lower house
of the Indiana legislature many
years ago. He thinks that if the
Dill onnery bill had been in effect,
the Governor of Indiana would not
have dared veto the old age pension
measure passed by the Indiana
legislature in its last session.

COUNTY LACKS FUNDS
FOR NEW AUTO TAGS
Budget Makers Forgot New Law
Removed Exemption.

Marion county is in the same
boat with large number of her
citizens whose cars still are adorned
with last years license plates.
The county's dilemma is lot Of
cars, trucks, trailers, tractors and
no money to purchase 1882 licenses.
No provision for license costs was
made in the 1881 budget. This
slipped by budget makers, since this
is the first year payment for plates
has been demanded of governmental
units.
Charles Mann, county highway
superintendent, says he needs 81, 900
to buy licenses for highway equip
ment. County commissioners must
pay fees on thirty-five vehicles kept
in the county garage.
A special appropriation for license
plates must be made by the county
council before March l, last date for
obtaining new plates.

TN view of Nippon's situation,
4 there have long been two con-
ficting trends of thought in Japan.
One crowd insists that Japan
must, by military force if necessary,
keep open to her trade certain mar

with coal, iron, beans and wheat.
The other insists that this mill
tary policy is costly and breeds
serious economic boycotts; that it
would be better to control markets

That these quickly can be con-
verified from the making of such
things as sewing machines. enamels,
locomotives, cotton cloth, etc., was
demonstrated during the World
war, when a new crop of million
aires rose in Japan from profits OF
munitions making for the allies.
Though the nature Of Japan'S eco
nomic system limits great wealth
to few men, the number of incomes
in excess of $4,000 jumped from
% in 1914 to 1856 in 1918.
