FOR D|PHTHERIA
Guarding of ChiIdren'S Lives
Most important Need of
Country.
BY DR.. THURMAN B. RICE
Written for The Indiana polls Times

May l has been set aside as
Child Health Day, and the first
week Of May has been designated as
Child Health Week. The American
Child Welfare Association for
several years has been greatly in
terested in May Day activities which
should have the effect of bringing
the attention of the public to the
needs of the child. There is reason
to believe that much good has al
ready been done by these activities.
For the 1885 child welfare pro-
grams the slogan "Immunize
Now: Stamp Out Diphtheria" has
been chosen.
Most Important Need
This means that in the opinion
Of the directors of the American
Child Welfare Association the most
important single need of the chill
dren in this country is diphtheria
immunization.
Last year an extensive program
was carried out through the cities
and state and a great many children
most of them school children
were immunized. AS a result there
have been very few deaths from
diphtheria among the children of
school age in Indiana for the past
several months.
The pre-school children, however,
were not nearly so we'll handled and
as a. result there are still entirely
| too many cases and deaths among
them due to diphtheria. 1t is eX-
tremely important that all pre-
school children above the age of 6
m on his should be immunized
against diphtheria.
Every Day Health Day"
Programs having to do with child
welfare should by all means make
mention of the immunization cam
paign. There is no need that any
child should die of this dreaded
disease.
While diphtheria immunlzation is
the central theme for the child well
fare work for the year 1885, there
is no reason why every day in the
year should not be Child Health
Day, inasmuch as the health of the
children is by far the most valuable
resource of the state and nation.
Unless our children are healthy
and happy and are provided with
school Fairgrounds and other recre-
ational facilities, it is impossible to
see how the human race can hope
to attain a high level of civiliza-
ton.

would you end his depression? A
You assume that Father Coughlin
has such a plan and can end this
depression. I say he hasn't and
nothing in your letter indicates that
he has. If I had such plan and
had not shouted it from the house
tops. I should be shot. I worked on
a plan which did make 100000 Jobs
increase pay rolls S3,000,0 100000, de
crease child labor and sWeatshops,
increase real factory pay rolls about
so per cent. reduce failures of small
business to the lowest point in years,
reduce hours of labor 20 per cent a
week and increase hourly wages 30
per cent. Father Coughlin has done
no more than make promises, yet
YOU ask me-"Where is your magic
plano
III give YOU some magic: Let
the President announce tomorrow
that taxes are to be abolished and
than the government will get its
money Tor expenses by Father
CoughIin's printing plan. All prices
would go sky-high. There would be
a furious speculative activity for
little while. Everybody would try
to trade his money for things be-
fore his money became worthless.
Farmers would seem rich. All
workers would seem poor and suf-
fer terribly from the high cost of
living. Smart spectators would
clean up and soon own everything
In a very short time the bubble
would burst. The poor would be
destitute. Employment would cease.
Farmers would be worse off than
ever. The so-called middle class
who Go not know how to protect
themselves, and have no means to
do it, would be ruined. That is a
guaranteed magic and you seem to
have swallowed it whole.
I am not against all that Father
Coughlin favors Most of it is mean
ingleSs generality. His money plan
is the only thing he has stated
plainly. I am against that for the
reasons stated.

A S another step in the direction
"A of lower airplane costs, Eugene
L. Vidal. director of the Bureau OF
Air Commerce. tells me that an eX-
detrimental order has been placed
for an airplane to be powered with
an automobile engine.
It is a well-known fact that auto
engines can be purchased for just
about the cost of overhauling an
airplane motor of the same horse
power. This is due to the small
quantity of the latter produced
Small auto engines have been used
successfully in planes any number
of times as some of our builders
of homemade craft probably can
tell us. The useful load Of plane

less. of course, but not enough to
matter much in a light two-place

John H. Geisse, chief of the de-
velopment section of the Air Com
merce Bureau is the man in charge
of this new experiment and Mr..
Geisse says:
The bureau is vitality interested
in improving the safety and reduc-
ing the costs of private flying. Air
craft engines of 80 horse power cost
in the neighborhood of $1,000. An
auto engine of the same power can
be purchased for less than $3.50. In
addition to the reduction in cost,
the auto engine offers the attractive
features of a much lower main
tenance and replacement cost and
servicing facilities in practically
every community.

THE BRITISH OWE MORE

CITIzENS who fear New Deal expenditures
- will destroy national credit may take
courage from a recent debt survey of Great
Britain.
This survey reveals that England's local
and national debt was SAC, 231, 100 900 on March
81, 1884. With a population more than As
million England'S per capita debt became
1891 on that date, at the prevailing rate of
foreign exchange.
The American national debt on June 30
1884, was S27053, Ala. The city, county and
state debts brought this sum to the total of
S45,653,1 Ala. Estimating the population at
about 126 million, the per capita debt was
$3.50.
If the per capita debt here equalled the
English debt of 1891, then the American obi
cation would reach the staggering sum of
about 124 billion dollars.
America is richer in natural resources than
Great Britain and British income taxes exceed
those of the United States in most brackets.
Yet English credit remains unimpaired while
viewers with alarm on this side of the Atlantic
look aSkance at President RooseveltS pro-
posal to increase the national public debt to
SS4,2SS 100000 by June 80, 1861 step that
seems necessary to national recovery.

By G. l..
With a favorable report from
the Judiciary B committee of the
Indiana House of Representatives,
al old-age pension bill which is
a model piece of humanitarian
legislation is now before the Gen.
eral Assembly.
The bill, which amends Indiana's
first pension measure enacted at
the 1888 legislative session, is sim
liar to the pension system which
was adopted in Ohio by a ma
jority of nearly 100000 Now, if
HoosierS are possessed of the state
pride with which they are credit
ed, they will tell the Legislature
that they desire passage of the
proposed measure without single
change.
Briefly, the new bill would give
Indiana system of old age pen
sionS with a starting age of IS in
stead of 70; maximum pension
of $25 a month and a minimum of
SIS, instead of a maximum of SIS
as at present; the property ex-
emption is raised from $1,000 to
$4,000, and the county residence
required reduced to five years
from Is.
Behind this record of Indiana's
progress in humanitarianism
stands notable achievement of
an Indianapolis man, Otto P. De-
luse. Since 1921 he has been the
leader of the old age pension

PRISON BREAKS

are more than the acts of desperate criminals.
Those two outbreaks constitute warning.
For years San Quentin Penitentiary has
been scandalously over-crowded. Built to hold
$500 men, it houses nearly 6OOO Recently a
prison investigator returned to Washington
after visiting San Quentin. He predicted early
trouble there as result of over-crowding and

Nearly all of the prison riots of 1929 and
1880 were caused by these two evils.
Not long ago Alexander Paterson, commits
sioner of prisons for England and Wales, Wis
tied and studied American prisons. He was
shocked at the lack of room and work in many
of them. He ventured the suggestion that we
shorten our senselesSly long prison sentences,
increase the use of paroles and probation. fit
prison populations to prison capacity or vice
versa, provide daily programs of state-use work
and other activity
The WickerSham commission discovered
alarming conditions of overt rowding and idle
ness. The recent Ullman committee report to
NF3A suggested a nationwide program for in
naturalization of prisons for employment of
prisoners on State-use work. .
Why should it require such cruel lessons to
teach the states that idle men huddled into
close quarters will plot riots and jail deliveries?

PEACE HIGHWAY

XXTHILE we keep our attention fixed on
w more spectacular things one of the
greatest public works projects ever devised by
human beings is slowly coming nearer to COM
pletion.
This is the great motor highway which will
some day, link Alaska with Argentina and pro-
vide smooth, up-to-date roadway for tour
lists all the way up and down the two Amer
lean continents.
1t will be $1,000 miles long when completed
OF this length, some $500 miles will lie north
of the Panama Canal and it is noteworthy
that all but 1900 miles of this North American
section is now passable for automobiles.
Nearly half the route from Fairbanks,
Alaska to the United States is in service.
Meanwhile, to the south, autos can proceed
from Texas to Mexico City without difficulty,
and more than third of the route from Texas
to Panama is open.
So, slowly, but steadily, this tremendous
highway takes shape; and not the least strik-
ing thing about it is the fact that it is coming
into being for a different set of reasons than
any of the famous highways of the old days.
The old roads were strictly utilitarian, with
a strong military tinge. Those far-flung roads
that tied the Roman empire together were laid
out first and foremost, to provide easy passage
for the Roman legions. Their secondary pur-
pose was to promote the flow of commerce
No one travelled along them for pleasure;
any Roman who had suggested that a road be
built through forest mountain, and desert
simply to enable idle folk to travel to places
where necessity did not call them would have
been looked upon as insane
So it has been with nearly all the interna-
tional highways since. But this Pan-American
highway is something different.
1t is not to be military road, in any sense
of the word. 1t is not coming into being be-
cause of the demands of commerce Useful as
the motor truck is, it is hard to imagine it
supplanting the steamship on the long haul
from South America to New York.
1t is being built, in other words, IS luxury
"a tribute to the leisure and mobility which
enable modern man to wander to far places for
his private edification. In that sense it is a
symbol of a new order of human existence
The greatest road ever built it will exist
simply to give people chance to broaden their
horizons. Nowadays the tourist, and not the
soldier or the merchant. is king!

Passage of Age Pension Bill Urged

movement sponsored by the Fra
ternal Order of Eagles. At the time
he enlisted in the cause of giving
old men and women something
better than a corner in the poor
house, old age pensions were
termed in many quarters as So
cialistic, paternalistic and Wis
ionary.
Only few years ago Harry G.
Leslie, as Governor of Indiana,
vetoed an old-age pension bill. To-
day, Indiana is giving most care
full and favorable consideration to
a pension system far more gen.
erouS than many liberal-minded
persons eI er dared hoped would
be a reality.
Contrasted with the lone fight
which Otto P. DeluSe once waged,
today we witness a parade of in
dividuals and organizations who
favor a real old-age pension sys-
tenn.
To the everlasting credit of Gov
ernor Paul v. McNutt, let it be
said that he had the courage to
state in his message to the pres
ent General Assembly that the
1888 pension law was unsatis-
factory, and to recommend
changes to make it satisfactory.
Had Indiana had a Governor of
like vision in the past, it is prob
able that today the poorhouse
would be only memory in this
state.

A FOOD AND DRUG LAW

ONE exceedingly important job before this
~ Congress is new pure food and drug law.
The old one is VIGOROUSLY inadequate.
The JOB should have been done last year.
Failure was due to a deadlock between the in
dustry and the Administration. Both we're to
blame. The original Administration bill was
too extreme in parts. In retaliation some of the
opponents manufactured a Tugwell myth
which quickly became a false issue, obscuring
the real problem.
Now there is to be fresh start.
AS its contribution, the Proprietary ASsoci-
alton has prepared draft bill The draft
recognizes existing evils and suggests many
correctives. That is progress. OF course the
association knows that the Government can not
properly let this industry write its own ticket
of regulations any more than any other party
to a controversy is ever allowed to act as the
final umpire. Therefore compromise is the
probable outcome.
Meanwhile the Administration should well
come and make use of the cooperation of the
intelligent members of the industry. They have
a selfish as well as humanitarian interest in
curling the INSCRIPTIONS practices of the
minority, which hurt their reputation and their
business.

A ROMAN FATHER

MERE is something very fine about the
action of Radio Patrolman George Iiese

ment reporting to his superiors only when
he has something new to tell them, George
Liese searches for Richard Liese.
Richard is wanted by police-and his father
is a policeman-for questioning in what seems
to be a particularly brutal and unnecessary
murder. The murder is made even more
sordid and shabby by the fact that the victim,
James E. Hunt, leaves behind him a widow

old baby.
George Liese, whose record with the Safety
Board is unspotted. believes his son is inno-
