Articles by Times Editor
Aid in Winning Honor for
N. Y. World Telegram.

For the third time in five years,
stories published by Indianapolis
newspapers figured today in jour-
nalism's highest honor, the Pu-
liter prize "for the most distin-
guished and meritorious public
service" No other group of news
papers in the country has estab-
liShed a similar record.
In the annual awards announced
in New York this morning, two in
dividuals connected with The In
dianapolis Times were prominently
mentioned. Talcott Powell was cred
tied with assisting The New York
World-Telegram, a Scripps- Howard
newspaper, in winning the greatest
public service by his articles on the
alleged abuses of veteran relief.
The Indianapolis Times published
these stories last spring and they
created wide local comment. At
that time Mr.. Powell was assistant
executive editor of the World Tele-
gram. He now is editor of The
Times.
Author of "Tattered Banners"
He also is the author of "Tattered
Banners" book on the whole back
ground of veteran compensation.
H. M. Talburt, political cartoonist
for the Washington News and the
Indianapolis Times was awarded the
$500 prize for the best cartoon pub
lished in 1882. This cartoon, The
Light of Asia" was printed in this
newspaper last year and is reprinted
today on the editorial page.
In 1928 The Times won the prize
for the greatest public service for
its campaign against khan control
Of the Indiana government. Last
year the indianapolis News won the
same prize for lucid and searching
study of the state tax problem and
the rising costs of county govern
ment.
Other Exposes Mentioned
In addition to Powell'S stories on
veteran relief the prize committee
mentioned the World Telegrams
exposes of the mortgage bond sit
uation, written by Joseph Lilly,

Construction Progress - Al
Rapid Rate: Concrete Work
on 18th Floor Begins

With weather "better than we
could have expected" construction
work on North Dakota's new $2,O00,-
600 capitol Is progressing at q rapid
rate. according to John Davis, super
intendent Of construction for the
Lundoff- Bicknell company, builders.
Davis said concrete work was to be-
gin Wednesday on the 18th floor Of
the history structure, with prospects
that concrete work on the tower part
OF the building would be completed
by the end Of this week.
Following completion OF concrete
work on the tower. he said. steel work
on the western or legislative wing
will begin. When the steel frame
work for the wing is completed. con-
crete work on this part Of the build
ing will be started.
The superintendent predicts that
all concrete work will be completed
by the end Of February 50 that stone
work on the tower and wing can Be
launched early In March.
Davis said the ideal weather recent
" has eliminated accidents and near
accidents on the project. The near
accidents early this month, he said.
were due entirely to high wind and
not to low temperatures.
Early In January one worker was
blown from his perch on the 18th
story but saved his life BY catching
q beam ct the 18th floor. A few days
later high wind blew two planks from
high up on the tower structure
through q window in the construction
companys office building below. with
an engineer barely escaping death IN
both instances.
