INDIANA FARMS
Up II PER CENT
IN FIVE YEARS
Marion County Is Among
Leaders, According to
U. S. Census.

Indiana farms number 202. an
increase Of lib per cent over 1890
according to an official tabulation
released today by John J. Lennon
state area supervisor for the 1895
Federal agriculture census.
Marion County, typifying the in
dustrial counties in which greatest
gains we're made, has a total of
1880 farms, an increase of z17 dur
ing the f1ve-year period, the report
reveals.
Three Reasons Are Cited
Three factors, Mr.. Lennon ex-
planned, account for the 2O,57O adj
ditional farms. They are, in order
Of their importance: The CONVEX
sion Of suburban lots into small
truck farms; the depreciation IN
land values, particularly in sparsely
populated counties, and the notable
decrease in the number of aban-
doned farms.
While almost every one Of the 90
counties boasts a larger number Of
farms than in 1880, slight decreases
we're recorded in Switzerland, Clark
and Ohio Counties. Substantial
gains are shown in Allen, Elkhart,
Clay, La Porte. Madison, Vigo, Van
derburg, Brown and Sullivan CoLn-
ties.
st. Joseph County, of which South
Bend is the county seat, leads the
state in gains, its 1880 total hav-
ing been raised from 2039 to 1922.
Census Office Closed
Having completed the three
months census, in which 1873 erum-
orators were engaged, Mr.. Lennon
today closed the state headquarters
in the Federal Building and depart
ed for Washington. There with the
assistance of specialists in the
census bureau he will check the
preliminary tabulations.
although with few exceptions all
counties reported an increased num-
Der Of farms" he stated, the big
gest gains were found in industrial
districts.
This confirms the belief that
factory workers, temporarily or per-
manently without jobs, have bought
and leased small tracts adjoining
the industrial cities, seeking eco
nomic relief by raising their own
fruits and vegetables"

AUTO INDUSTRY
UNREST CROWS;
THOUSANDS OUT
u. S. ConCiIiatorS Rushed to
Trouble Areas as Peace
Efforts Fail.
By United Press

By United Press
DETROIT, May 1.-The vast
automotive industry was threatened
today with creeping paralysis from
strikes and plant closures.
Output OF the General Motors
Corp. was curtailed with $1,000
workers idle and three plants closed.
Other units faced a shutdown be-
cause sharply reduced production
lessened demand for car parts.
Beyond the immediate possibility
of other General Motors plants
being closed was the threat that
strikes might spread until the entire
industry was enyeloped. No prog
ress was evident in peace negotia-
tons.
The walkout of 1900 workers in
the Chevrolet assembly plant at
Toledo precipitated the crisis. Yes
terday approximately 1000 men at
the Cincinnati plant struck. These
strikes caused the Fisher Body plant
in Cleveland to close. Nine thou
sand workers were affected with a
pay roll of 100000 monthly.
Edward F. McGrady, assistant
Secretary of Labor, arrived in Toledo
today from Washington to under
take mediation. He was ordered
there by Frances Perkins, Secretary
of Labor.
No disorders were reported and
picketing was orderly, but strike
talk spread. Employees of the Buick
plant at Flint, Mich, held mass
meeting last night to discuss the
strike question.
Spread of Strike Feared
Union officials said strike steps
might be taken at the Pontiac
(MichO plant of General Motors
Trucks, Fisher Body and Pontiac
Motors.
Facing a shutdown were General
Motors plants at Bay City and
Saginaw, Mich. The Kelsey-Hayes
Detroit factory that supplies wire
wheels for Chevrolet may be af:-
fected. The sharply reduced de-
mand also threatened to halt pro-
duction at the GNC gray iron foun-
dry at Saginaw.
The labor controversy was crys-
tallized by the Toledo strike. The
unions contend that the automobile
board, headed by DR.. Leo Wolman
has been partial to management.
Demands Are Outlined
Toledo workers, spearhead of the
strike, demanded union recognition
abolition of the speed-up system
improved working conditions, senior
ity rights and a general 5 per cent
wage increase.
General Motors expressed willing
ness to negotiate with any groups
of organized workers, but refused to
deal with American Federation OF
Labor unions as the representative
of all workers.
w. S. Knudsen, vice president, an
nounced that no negotiations would
be undertaken while the strikes con-
tinued.

Pauline is a tough old oak.
None tougher. He has a hard

Detroit j. Bars
Transfers

DETROIT, Mich, Nov. 30.-By
the terms of a recently adopted
rule, the University of Detroit has
closed its athletic doors to all men
who have played on the varsity
squad at any other institution.
The board of control of athletics,
headed by Rev. A. A. Poetker, S. j.,
president of the university. and
comprising five faculty and three
alumni members, passed this rule
upon recommendation of Athletic
Director Charles E. Dorais. The
rule reads that no man can par
ticipate in any intercollegiate
sport at the University Of Detroit
if he has been listed as a varsity
player elsewhere, regardless Of
whether or not he has won let.
ter. Freshman competition at
other colleges will not be counted
but man transferring to Detroit
after a freshman year elsewhere
will be compelled to observe the
one-year residence rule.
This action by the board of con-
troll of athletics is described by
Coach Dorais as the elimination
of the university's steady progress
towards the most rigid eligibil-
ity standards, which began with
the adoption Of the freshman rule
in 1928"
Control of athletics was taken
away from the alumni and placed
under the faculty in 1880.
The new rule barring transfer
students from varsity athletics
is one of the most drastic in the
country and is aimed at the stu.
dent who moves from one college
to another for athletic. rather
than scholastic, reasons. Very few
American colleges have gone so
far to bar the tramp" athlete.
In some cases a years athletic
eligibility is sacrificed by a trans
fer, but in general man can
complete the remainder of his
three years of varsity competition
in the school to which he trans
fers after he has complied with
the requirements of the one.year
residence rule.
