'WHITEWASH' ON
BANKS CHARGED
Judge Cox AsSaiIs Finding
of Grand Jurors; Probe
to Be Continued.

Grand jury report absolving Of
ficials of the State Savings Bank
and Trust Company and the Wash
ington Bank and Trust Company Of
criminal liability was branded today
by Circuit Judge Earl R. Cox as
a "whitewash."
Cox conferred for more than an
hour, behind closed doors, with
Criminal Judge Frank P. Baker and
plans we're laid for continuance of
the investigation of the closed in
situations.
At the conclusion of today's meet
ing, Coxs only comment, after ad-
hitting that the banks were the
subject of discussion, was:
Il am confident that with the
matter definitely in Judge Bakers
hands, it will be pursued to the bot
tom Perhaps the evidence should
have been placed in his hands from
the beginning, instead of with the
prosecutor"
Baker declined to comment, eX-
cept to say that he would await re-
ceipt of evidence from Cox before
making a statement.
Prosecutor Herbert E. Wilson, who
several weeks ago expressed doubt
that indictments would be returned
against any officials of the State
Savings and Trust Company, left
on a southern vacation tour last
FRIDAY.

CHILD HEALTH
WORK GIVEN
UP BY CITY
Division Abolished Because
of Deficiency in Tax
Payments.
DENTAL CLINIC DROPPED
Additional CurtaiImentS Are
Planned; Charge Hospital
Nurses for Meals.
DENTAL CLINIC DROPPED

The child hygiene division of the
city board of health has been prac-
tically abolished because of the ne
cessity to absorb 1000 shortage by
the entire health board of the con-
templated $334,O00 total deficiency
in thee ity's share of the last tax
payment.
Fourteen dentists, six assistants,
who formerly held an average of
forty-eight clinics week, furnish
ing treatment to 400 children per
month, have beee dismissed.
The four doctors of the prenatal
department also were dismissed.
Check Charity Cases Closer
The dismissals followed a series of
conferences last week among
board of health members, Evans
Woollen Jr., city controller, and
Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan.
When the conferences started, it
was thought the entire health board
would be forced to absorb only $42,-
900 Of the slash. This amount was
increased, however, to the $4,000
figure.
Additional curtailment in the de-
partment is also planned, besides the
diSmiSSals. All nurses and employees
at the city hospital will pay 10 cents
a meal at the institution. A 10
cent charge will also be made for
all prescriptions filled at the hos
pital, unless the patient is on the
county poor list.
Closer check of charity patients
also will be made to ascertain
whether they actually need treat
ment, and if they are able to pay at
least a portion of the cost.
AS another result of curtailment,
sixty-f1ve school nurses will be
forced to take two weeks vacations
without pay.
Prune Operating Costs
Other departments also will have
to prune operating costs, caused by
the 16 per cent tax delinquency in
Marion county
The park board is expected to be
the next largest loser. The city
controller estimates it will have to
absorb close to SGT 500 of the de-
ficiency.
Efforts are now being made by
board members to save the recrea-
ton department.
However, it is doubtful if the de-
partment, under the direction of
Hugh w. Middlesworth, will function
after the closing of the swimming
and playground season this year.
Many reductions were made in the
department this year, including
salary cuts to as low as $50 per
month for instructors, matrons and
l:fe guards.

Jerome talked to a man who said
he was one of the kidnapers by
telephone Sunday night. 1t was the
third attempt of the abductors to
communicate with him, the youth
believed.
Calls at Mothers Home
The call came to the home of his
mother, Mrs. Leonard Marcus, Fac

two other calls, apparently from
the same man, were received at the

in a quiet, cultured voice.

Statement Is Issued
A statement issued by Gale Gill
bert, Factors attorney, reiterated
the contention that Factor repeat
edly made after his sons release
that no ransom was paid for Jer-

that $4,000 was paid.
The statement also pointed out

ITALIAN FLIERS
ARE IN IRELAND
Bad Weather Delays Hop on
Third Lap of Flight
to Chicago.
BY c. d. MILLIGAN

LONDONDERRY, Ireland, July
3.-Italy's air armada, bound for
the Chicago exposition, was held on
the waters of Tough F'oyle by bad
weather today
Upon the advice of meteorologists,
General Italo Balbo, air minister
and commander of the flight, post
posted until Tuesday the take
off on dangerous flight to Reyk-
javik, third hating place on the
seven stage 7,1O0-mile flight from
Orbetello to Chicago.
The squadron arrived here from
Amsterdam Sunday, after a flight
of $50 miles.
Balbo telephoned Premier Benito
Mussolini at Rome, who sent good
wishes to the expeditions ninety
six officers and men.
The planes are behaving splen-
didly," Balbo said. Il do not antici-
pate any trouble between here and
Chicago"
Over the North sea from Amster-
dam the planes met heavy clouds
and mist, and were obliged to fly
only a few yards above the water.
Over Scotland and the Irish sea
the fog thickened menacingly,' and
Balbo for a time considered landing
in Tough Meath, forty miles inland
from here. But radio reports from
LondOnberry-where, as at all halt
ing place, Italian meteorologistS are
stationed-were encouraging.
The planes left Orbetello, Italy
Saturday. The flights first mishap
occurred at the landing at Amster-
dam seven hours later, when one of
the planes capsized, drowning a
member of its crew. An auxiliary
supply ship took its place in the
squadron.
