TUBERCULOSIS
DEATHS FEWER
Average Life Span Is Eight
Years Longer Than Half
Century AGO.

Eight years have been added to
the average human life span
through medical achievements of
the last twenty-five years, DR.. E. M.
Amos, treasurer of the Indiana Tu-
berculosis Association, said today in
connection with the 1884 sale of
Christmas seals and health bonds in
the state.
Most health progress is bounded
by the last half century" he said
The average length of life has been
increased to approximately fifty
nine years.
I'm all the amazing development
of life-saving, the work of the tu-
berculosis associations of America
takes front rank. In score of
years the death rate from the
disease has been cut more than half
in the nation, and even a greater
decrease has been achieved in Indi-
ana. More than 100000 lives are
saved each year by the educational
campaign in preventative and cura-
tive ways of defeating the disease.
"All this has been made possible
by the single little emblem of health
the Christmas seal. 1t sells for 81
a hundred and it has financed anti
tuberculosis work in Indiana to a
point where sanatoria, clinics, fresh
air schools, child nutrition classes,
better nursing, better housing and a
widespread system of education
gradually is eliminating the disease"

MORRISSEY MORTIFIED;
POLICE ARRIVE AFTER
CHASING AMBULANCES

The day of the ambulance
chaser is gone and the day of the
chasing ambulance has daWned.
This has come to the official no.
tice of Chief Mike MorrisSey, he
said today. When police arrive
at the scene of an accident that
has been broadcast over the po-
lice radio, they find waiting there,
in addition to the wreckage, two
or three private ambulances.
Radio receivers in the am
balances pick up police calls and
the drivers hurry to the scene in
the hope of getting a paying run
10 a hospital.
The chief ordered that no vic
Tins of accidents be sent to hos
pitfalls in private ambulances I'M
less the patients so request.
He ordered that police search
ambulances found at the scene of
accidents for police radio re-
ceivers carried contrary to law.

LUTz ATTACKS
INSURANCE ACTS
Indiana Laws in Need Of
Radical Revision, He
Tells Delegates.

The insurance laws of Indiana
are in need of radical revision and
that revision NAV come from the
impending general assembly, At
toney-General Philip Lutz Jr. told
nearly four hundred delegates to the
annual Indiana Fraternal Congress
at the Lincoln.
The congress. at which thirty fra
ternal orders are represented, will
last through Tuesday.
The social, economic and political
temper Of the people now requires
the closest scrutiny of every insti-
tuition offering insurance protection
10 an innocent public, which is de-
handing that every institution must
be regulated in the public interest
Ov the proper authority" the attOr-
ney-general said.
1t is the spirit of the times to
require the highest measure Of duty
10 the rights of policyholders and
this. I believe, is an obligation and
a responsibility Of the highest mag
nitude on those in official positions
TO prevent insurance frauds by re-
quiring a stricter supervision over
insurance protection.
The delegates, who were well
coined to Indianapolis by Mayor
Reginald Fl. Sullivan and Governor
Paul v. McNutt, heard the attorney
general describe the existing insur-
auce code as "a patchwork of in
dependent acts, full of loophOles and
0ut-of-date with the spirit of the
times"
In the bitter twilight of disillu-
SiOnment. thousands of Indiana peO-
pie have learned that a gilded in
surance certificate was not gold"
Mr.. LutZ declared.

U. S, TO GRANT
PRIVATE MONEY
HOUSING CHANCE
Public Funds to Be Used to
Take Up Program Slack,
If ANY.
fcopvr.zht 1924. BY United Pressl

fCopvrizht 1884 BY United Pressl
WASHINGTON. Nov. 26.-New
Deal policy makers will give private
capital a chance to deal with the
housing problem before resorting to
d federal spending program on the
scale proposed by PWA Administra-
tor Harold l. ICkeS.
On housing the administration is
trying to formulate another of its
middle of the road policies.
Last weeks dispute between Mr..
ICkeS and Housing Administrator
James A. Moffett is described by in
SiderS as having been fundamentally
dangerous to recovery.
The real issues involved are un-
employment and initiation. Housing
projects are being pushed primarily
to provide Jobs II anything inter-
fereS with job-making plans, con-
gressional initiation pressure will in
crease possibly beyond administers
ton capacity to resist it.
Home construction is believed now
to be the best available method of
providing work for the unemployed.
Therefore, New Dealers are de-
termined to get housing plans back
on the track and quickly.
The middle-o road plan is
TO coordinate Mr.. Ickes' PWA pro-
gram with Mr.. MoGetts plans for
the federal housing administration.
AS now shaping, the plan requires
that Moffett be given first chance
at the housing problem with pri-
vate funds If he fails or succeeds
only partially, a PWA Cover nment-
money program would take up the
slack Either way, it is hoped that
purely relief expenditures will di-
minish.
A considerable PWA program APP
pears to be inevitable this winter.
The relief burden Will be heavy,
The administration feels it must at
tempt to stimulate private capital
to assume as much Of that burden
as is possible.
The Home Owners Loan Corpora
ton has applications for $1,000, 000,-
600 of credit beyond its resources.
Unless private capital is brought into
the housing program much of that
sum will have to be underWritten by
the treasury if it is underwritten at
all.
Mr.. Moffetts home modernization
program does not figure in this dis
pute. 1t is working we'll Mr.. Ickes
and Mr. Mofett disagree whether
cheap federal credit should be sup
piled for home construction Mr..
IckeS suggests a per cent interest
rate with no down payment on a
new house. The best Mr.. Moffett
can promise with private capital is
/ around 5 per cent interest and an
overall ovehead of about 7 per cent.
A $4,000 900 600 frozen mortgage
dam now blocks the flow of private
capital into home construction. Mr..
MOffett thinks he can induce private
money to refinance that iceberg, but
only if the government goes slow on
3 per cent PWA housing plans.
Vigorous effort in the last forty
eight hours brought Mr.. Ickes and
Mr.. Moffett to the White House un-
der remote control from Warm
| Springs, Ga, where President
Roosevelt is vacationing The next
coordination move probably will be
creation of a subcommittee of some
kind to include both administrators.

and Recorder Ira Haymaker are
among the men he boasts are on
his bandWagon now.
Boetcher May Get Post
While Joel Baker is known to op-
pose Chief Morrissey, he is said to
be satisfied at this time to confine
his work to the courthouse.
He merely is trying to get advice
to Judge Kern that no police chief
should have as much powerto func-
ton without interference as Chief
MorriSsey has had under the Sui
Ivan regime.
Otto Ray also is known to oppose
Chief Morrissey's reappointment.
Walter Boetcher. county chair
man and present works board presi-
dent, frequently is spoken of as the
likely city controller under Judge
Kern.
Those who realize the battle that
faces Mr.. Boetcher in holding con-
troll of the party organization say
he will waive the additional salary,
however. and stay where he is on
the works board because it affords
him a closer contact with the pub
lie and also with what is going on
about town.
In this event, it is said, Judge Kern
might ask the present controller
Evans Woollen Jr., to remain, while
others talk of Albert LOsche, pres
ent purchasing agent, as new con-
troller.
New Fire Chief Hinted
1t is agreed on all fronts that there
will probably be new fire chief.
Most frequently mentioned for this
post is Fred Kennedy, present as
sistant chief.
Before the election, it seemed
certain that Robert Kirby, close
friend of Judge Kern, would be his
new secretary. Mr.. Kirby was
around the city hall for a while last
fall, but laSt-minute information is
that Joseph lyman, Home Owners
Loan Corporation employee, who
drove Mayor ELECT Kern about the
city on his campaign speaking
tours, has been sitting in on many
of the meetings with prospective
jobseekerS.
Sheriff Sumner, who sponsored
the gigantic barbecue in the Negro
district just before election, and
who whOle-heartedly supported
Judge Kern even to the extent of
withdrawing from the primary race
last spring. has been mentioned for
the police chiefs job; but this is an
error, he states.
Sheriff Interested
The sheriff admits he is most in
terested in seeing that some of his
chief aids during his present
regime get located in some city
posts. To this end, Ralph Hitch
chief deputy sheriff, has been men
toned prominently as safety boarc
secretary and also as city hOSpita
business manager.
DR.. Frank Dowd, police surgeon
and husband of Councilman-elec
Annette Dowd, declares that because
of the post that his wife holds, il
would be impossible for him to take
the city hospital superintendency il
it were offered to him. He states he
has been mentioned for the hos
pital post by persons seeking to en-
harraSs him and not by friends
