M|NTON GIVEN
vANNUYS' HELP
FOR U. S. POST
Senior Senator Pledges Aid
in Move to Obtain
Federal Bench.
M'NUTT ALSO AFFECTED
Governor Is Slated to Be
Senator if Proposal
Carries, Is Report.
BY DANIEL Nj. KIDNEY
Times staff Writer

WASHINGTON, May 16.-1mpe-
tus was given to the move to put
Senator Sherman Minton Cd. Ind)
on the Federal bench and Gov Nc
Mutt, in the Senate when Senator
Frederick Van Mugs Cd. Ind an
nounced his support for the plan
today.
Senator Van Mugs had rec
commended two other Hoosiers for
Federal judgeships, but had not
committed himself on the aspira-
tions OF his junior colleague.
Following a call from Senator
Minton, Senator Van Mugs said:
Certainly if my Democratic COL
league is candidate for a Federal
judgeship he will have my utmost
support"
The plan, to be carried out after
the Nov elections, is for Senator
Minton to be named to one of two
vacancies on the United States Cir
cult Court of Appeals at Chicago.
1t is said to be somewhat con-
tingent upon reelection of Gov.
Henry Horner of Illinois, who might
be appointed to the bench if de-
feated in November.
One of the appointments is GER
tain to go to Illinois, and Rep. j.
Leroy Adair of the Fifteenth District
has been mentioned as likely to be
named.
Should Senator Minton be named,
Gov. McNutt would take his Senate
seat by appointment. Senator Van
Mugs support for the plan marks a
rapprochement between the Hoosier
Democratic faction leaders - Van
Nuys and McNutt-who have been
at loggerheads in every primary
campaign in Indiana since each
took Office.

Rex Mays, Young Coast
Flash, Favored to Gain
Pole Again.
(Other Details on Page Six

A brisk wind sweeping
down the straightaways of
the Indianapolis Motor Speed
way today kept race drivers
from attempting to make
their qualification runs for
the 500-mile race Memorial
Day.
Approximately 1000 persons were
in the stands by early afternoon
awaiting the start of the trials.
George Doc) Mckenzie had
made several fast test runs and Bill
Cummings had circled the track
a few times at slow pace.
Late Rush Expected
The drivers, limited to two and a
half gallons of gasoline for the 25-
mile qualification run. we're feluct-
ant to start while the wind was
strong They said that the necessity
Of lighting the wind on the
stretches would increase the gaso-
line consumption.
1t was believed likely that several
OF the more popular drivers would
not attempt to qualify until late this
afternoon, in the hope that the
wind would die down by that time.
The fastest qualif1er in todays
trials was 10 receive the pole posi-
ton in the front row for the race.
The two next fastest qualifiers we're
to be assigned the other two 'front.'
line positions.
Gulotta Cracks Up
The others who qualified today
were to get the second and third
row positions in the order of their
speeds.
Cars which qualify tomorrow will
be lined up at the end of today's
qualifiers, also graded by the speeds
they record.
Rex Mays, daring Californian,
recorded record-smaShing run last
year, winning the rail position with
an average speed of 120.736 miles an
hour. Mays is favorite to dupli-
cate his 1885 performance.
Gulotta Cracks Up
At least 20 car owners had prom
iSed to be ready for tbs tests today,
but not more than dozen were ex-
pected to report to the starter.

In addition to Mays, Floyd Roberts,
who finished fourth in 1885; Cum

only active driver who has won the
race twice; and Chef Gardner had
groomed their cars for another at
tempt to win frontline positions.
Regarded as an almost certain
qualilier today, Tony Gulotta was
eliminated by crackup late yester-
day. It y. as minor accident which
temporarily disabled his car.
Fred Frame who yesterday signi-
fed his intention OF emerging from
retirement. and Ralph Hepburn are
others who slipped under the wire
last year, but who will not be ready

Bergere Expected to Run
Among others expected on the
track today were Cliff Bergere, Chef
Miller and Deacon Litz. Several
more riders will be on the scene to-
morrow when qualifications are re-
sumed at / p. M. The timers ap-
paratus is to be locked each day at
7 p. m.
The decreased fuel supply has
been source of worry to mechanics
and drivers alike. Three gallons
were permitted last year. The re-
duction has caused the mechanics to
devote more time to tests in the ga
RACES, and many of the favorites
are not expected to make their quail
ification runs until next week.

AMENDMENTS ARE
HAVING OPPOSITION
Some Think Supreme Court
Proposal Most Worthy
of Entire Group

Whlle no marked amount of en-
thusiasm has been worked UP one
way or the other, those who have
even casually studied the five pro.
posed amendments to the State Con
stitution to be voted on in next Tues
days general election are not by any
means of one accord in this section.
With different leaders and individ.
uals dividing, there is no way Of
knowing how the county will go, MOI
the vote that will be cast for or
against, or both, by comparison with
ne vote for candidates.
There is opposition to the amend
ments here, however. The fights be-
ing carried on by the State Associa-
ton of County Commissioners and
the North Carolina Municipal League
are having their reactions and at
tracing support in this city and
county.
There are those who will vote for
the amendment to increase the State
Supreme Court by two, making it
seven instead Of five, and at the same
time will vote against all of the other
amendments. The proposal to limit
debts appeals to many voters, and
will attract support. Those for pro-
perty classification, for raising the
taxing limit and for homestead tax
exemptions are running against
snags.
AS some see it, the Supreme Court
proposal will bring relief to the hard
worked five justices on the court at
the present time, and will not entail
any material increase in expenditures
The de2t limitation proposal has an
appeal from the standpoint of prevent
ing runaway increases in public OBJ
legations. The other three involve tax
increases, and are attracting opposi-
ton on that ground, at least with
come.
Following is a summary, in brief, of
the five proposed amendments to the
State Constitution which will be vot-
ed on Tuesday:
Cd To permit the legislature to add
as many as two additional associate
justices to the Supreme Court, and
to allow the court to sit in divisions
except in cases involving the federal
or state constitutions.
(2) To permit the legislature to ex-
empt from taxation homesteads &C.
cupied by the owners up to $1,000 in
tax valuation.
81 To permit classification of pro-
perty for taxation. Il
(4) To permit levy of income taxes
up to 10 per cent instead of only to
six per cent as now.
60 To limit debt Of public govern
mental units, state and local, by re-
curing that no new debts, except for
certain necessary purposes listed.
may be incurred by any unit in an
amount in excess of two-thirds of the
amount by which the outstanding
debt was reduced during the proceed
ing fiscal period, unless such debt he
approved by a majority of the voters
of the unit.

going through the trouble of the
Schick test
The Schick test is the injection of
q minute quantity of diphtheria toxin
into the skin of the child. 1t is prac-
tically painless and has no reaction
except a small Redeemed area around
the site of injection. Those who are
susceptible to diphtheria have a plain
ly REDEEMED area in. 48 hours, those
not susceptible there is no sign of the
test after 49, hours. The Schick test
should be given to all children over
six years Of age to determine their
susceptibility. Younger children who
are given dose of toxoid should have
the Schick test in four to six months
after giving the toxoid as there are a
few children requiring the second
dose for complete immunity. Children
do not develop serum sickness or
other bad reactions to the Shick test,
or to the toxoid given as treatment to
produce the immunity.
In the schools where the health Of
ficer and nurse have been working
for a few years we find 80 percent of
children in second and third grades
are immune. We cannot get 100 per-
cent immunity because there are al
ways few parents who object to hay
ing their children protected: desiring
rather to gamble on their child's
health and happiness.
Parents, for your children's sake get
busy and cooperate with your doctor
and the health department in driving
this stranger of your babies from our
county.
A fine work for a community pro-
Ject to be accomplished by q PIT. A..
is to see that every child from six
months, to six years is protected a.
gainst diphtheria.

COMMISSIONERS TO
ORDER JAIL WORK
O.
Enlargement and Repairs
To Be Arranged for at
Mondays Meeting

Some definite action to increase
Vance county's Jail facilities and pro-
vide more comfortable quarters for
prisoners generally will probably he
taken by the Board of County Com
missioners at their regular monthly
meeting for November next Monday
it was said today by Chairman
Samuel M. Watkins.
Just what would be done was not
certain in advance of the meeting of
the board, although it appeared likely
that the present Jail on Breckenridge
more than quarter of a mile from
the court house, would be enlarged
and remodeled to some extent. Mr.
Watkins estimated that the cost of
the new work would be, roughly,
about $4,000, although this was moi
definite.
The matter of repairs to the Jail ap-
peared to be probably the most i'm
portant business to come lhefore the
board at the Monday meeting.
