that far, it would be into the
Riley and Long hospitals, so we
wouldn't have to worry any more
about the park"
TINE proximity of Fall creek
l. and the ease with which it
could be connected with the
canals on the White river park
bank is seen as an additional in
ducement for the project.
Mr.. Walsman sees, as does
George j. Marott, city merchant
and hotel man, the possibility of
the conversion of Fall creek into
a Venetian canal.
1T could be cleaned up and
utilized in connection with this
White river park" Mr.. Walsman
believes. Boating on it would be
feasible"
1T know some will scott at this
idea of White river park beach
and playground. They are among
the people who will go all the
way to Europe to see what we've
got here in Indianapolis-the
World war memorial. And, just
because the French call it Champs
Elysee or Arc d. Triomph, they
enthuse over it."
Blunt, practical, eye always
atilt to figures, whether they be
tax valuations or assessments, Mr..
WalSman clothes his dreaming Of
the future beach park in reality.
Trees grow, waters pour into the
beach from White river, cars move
over the well-paved levee boule-
wards, children shout and dive
from Spring-boards.
Maybe some day it'll come
true" Mr.. Walsman says-and he
smiles, hopefully.

PLANS DISCUSSED FOR
INVENTORS CONGRESS

Of traffic viewing the bathers.
A nearby canal adds the snort
Of a motorboat to the cries OF
the beach bathers. Canoes ply IN
the wake Of the boats. See that
depression the other side Of that
levee driveway? Well, deep down
there. there's a ball game. Over
there you can see the white shorts

You can see all of this if you'll
drive along west White River
parkway and view the public
works project between the West

Tenth street river crossing.
That is. you can see it if you're
giften with a vision into the future
and can feel for yourself the pos

control project has as future city

And, you can see it doubly well

vert the land to a benefit to tax

He points out how the leveees
now under construction could be
widened for motor car roadways.
He sees, in a mere hole in the
White river bank, purling water
from the river fed in through
gates at the Tenth street bridge
with an outlet at the West Mich

downstream.
He sees swimmers basking on

To learn the effect of the cot
ton reduction program, various
agricultural investigators have
travelled south. Among these
were Mordecai Ezekiel, economic
adviser of the department, and
even Henry Wallace, himself.
Wallace ct no farther south
than North Carolina, but he came
back with a picture of poverty
among tenant farmers which
haunted his memory for months.
Another study was made by his
department as to what became
of the cotton checks. How did
the tenant farmer spend his wind
alls? Are cotton farmers in favor
60 for back debts or pay for over
ais Are cotton farmers in favor
of the crop reduction plan? Do
they want it continued?
ITO answer these and other
il questions, letters we're sent to
several hundred farmers in one
Oklahoma cotton area. The re-
plies were almost unanimous in
favor of the plan, and almost
equally unanimous that none OF
the cotton checks was wasted.
I am collecting rents from
more than three hundred farmers
in Coal county" wrote Patsy
Greenan. a real estate agent Of
Coalgate, Okla, land I know that
95 per cent of them that plowed
UP cotton used every dollar they
got TO pay obligations and to buy
the actual necessities (sic) of life.
I don't know of single one
that used the money for the pur-
chase of Intoxicating drink or
spent it for anything foolishly."
Similar testimony came from a
merchant in Mangum, Okla.
"A man. wife and seven children
came in and bought complete
change of clothes for the family.
Seventy per cent of the clothing
sold to farmers with cotton
checks went for work clothes. My
business has taken a lao per cent
increase in the lest year

Profiteering Reported

SAN FRANCISCO, July H.
Huge financial losses, sabotage,
profiteering, disorder - and even
death-spread to many sections Of
northern and inland California to-
day in the wake of San Francisco's
devastating general strike.
From many towns and cities,
which should be enjoying the profits
of crop harvesting, came distressing
stories Of unrest and agitation.
George Sehlmeyer, master of the
California State Grange, a frater-
nal organization Of farmers, pro-
tested to Governor Frank Merriam
at Sacramento, that certain retail
ers" are taking advantage Of the
strike situation to increase prices
on necessary footstuffs.
Three extensive agricultural val-
leys-the Sacramento, the San Joa-
quin and the Santa Clara, felt the
pinch of the strike and feared that
crops worth millions Of dollars were
in jeopardy as harvest approached.
Reports were current that $500
members Of the Vegetable Packers
Association in the Salinas lettuce re-
gion were ready TO stage a sympathy
strike for san Francisco unions.
There was danger that the apple
growing section near Watsonvllle
also would be affected.
At Turlock the deaths of two per-
sons were attributed indirectly n
the strike. They died when gaso-
line container, in which they were
carrying extra fuel, exploded. :

LAWYERS CLASH
AT COIN TRIAL
AdmiSSabiIity of LedgerS
Debated as Jury Is
Excused.

Charges that Meyer Kiser bank
officials we're in conspiracy to help
out a falling realty company with
funds of their depositorS were made
today by Floyd Mattice, chief dep
uty prosecutor, in the trial of Mel
vile S. COhn, former bank vice
president, on embezzlement charges.
The charges came on the heels of
a forecast by Frank c. Daley, de-
Tense attorney, that this trial will
be going on until Christmas"
Mr. Mattice explained that he
wanted voluminous records of the
banks introduced as exhibits be-
cause in reality, they will show a
conspiracy on the part of the for
mer bank officials to help out a
realty company that was on the
rocks"
The arguments continued through
out the morning, so intense at one
point that Special Judge Alexander
G. Cavins sent the jury from the
room.
The defense objected to the in
PRODUCTION of any exhibits except
those ledger pages referring speci-
fically to transactions revolving
around the Fralch Realty Com
pany.
If all these books are intro
duced.' asserted Mr.. Daily, "the de-
tense will have the burden of proof
put upon it and be forced to prove
that all transactions of the bank
with other companies are legal. In
stead the case should be that the
state must prove the illegality of
the specific transaction in this case"
Articles of incorporation of the
bank as we'll as the $3.50 check
which is alleged to have been paid
to Albert Blue as a dividend from
the Fralich Realty Company through
the bank were admitted as exhibits.
Thomas Garvin. receiver for the
bank. was the states first witness.
Aided by two men he brought APP
proXimately fifty books into the
courtroom.
When Mr.. Garven attempted to
identify the books as bank prop
erty, the defense objected on the
grounds that he had no knowledge
of the entries made in the books.
Mr.. Garven said he was told the
books belonged to the bank by
former officers of the Meyer Kiser
institution.
An impaSse was reached over the
books and ledgers with. the result
that Judge Cavins spent several
hours of the morning listening to
the admiSSability of the exhibits.

Many Go Hungry
By United Press Z


SAN FRANCISCO, July 17.-An-
nouncements from Washington to
the contrary-the food shortage was
becoming acute in San Francisco to-
day.
There were many in the city who
were hungry. They we're not in dan
ger of starvation, but they were
missing meals and those they didn't
miss were scanty and obtainable
only at the cost of great effort.
1t was true there is plenty of food
in the San Francisco area. But the
trick is to get it. With restaurants
and food shops closed and no deliv-
cries, either wholesale or retail.
warehouses bullying with flour and
butter and eggs did the populace
little good.
