TWO NEGRO GIRLS
ELECTED FROM BUS
In SEAT ARGUMENT

Two negro girls were elected
from a Greyhound bus here
yesterday, when they refused to
take seats in the rear of the bus,
city police reported.
Patrolman Frank jolly said the
girls entered the bus and sat
down in seats near the front.
When asked by the driver to
take seats in the rear, the girls
refused. This led to an argument
which resulted in the girls be-
ing forcibly removed from the
bus, police said.
The girls were brought to the
police station, where Chief Els
ner explained the Florida law
requiring colored persons to take
seats in the rear of public con-
veyances. The two girls were re-
leased and caught the next bus
to their destination.

Russians Seize Naz Plants -,

NATIONS EXPECTED TO

TION PROPERTY

fBy Associated I.ressl

I WASHINGTON, July 6. -
Plants and machinery, valued at
500, 1000, 900, which the Nazis con-
structed in eastern Austria dur
ing the war, were seized today by
the Russians, according to adj
vices received here.
No doubt is entertained about
the truth of the report, as it was
first issued by Tass, the Russian
official news agency.
General Mark Clark, who is
with. the American occupation
forces in Europe, Immediately
sent messages to the governments
of Austria and Russia to obtain
official confirmation of the re-
port.
Russian action in eastern Aus
tria, it was pointed ,oHt, was SINH
lar to Chat in iManchuria- -RNssia
first seized machinery and equip
ment and then reported the seiz-
ure.
Should the reported seizure in
Austria be confirmed, it almost
surely will result in protests to
the Russian government. The
government functioning in Aus
tria is reported already to have
filed protest with the Russian
government for what the Aus
trians assert was the unwarrant-
ed seizure of the plants and ma
chinery.

SPEEDERS KEEP
OFFICERS BUSY

More than so arrests of offenders
Of city speed laws had been made
during the first IL days of 1916
and police Chief c. H. Casteen
again warned the motorists public
to watch their speed and slow
down."
He said last night he had in
structed department members to
enforce rigidly all speed laws Of
the city.
He emphasized that this means
not only in new areas which were
taken over by the city Jan. 1, but
throughout the entire city.
Several serious accidents and
at least two fatalities have occurred
in or near the city recently" he
said This does not mean that all
traffic violations are speeding, but
if the motorist would slow down
and keep an eye open for the safe
ty of himself, pedestrians and his
fellow motorists, percentage OF
these accidents could be avoided. "
Speed limits in residential areas
are clearly indicated as are speed
limits in the downtown or business
areas. Speed laws for the resident
ial areas prohibit motorists to
drive in excess of Is miles per
hour. In business districts the speed
limit is Is miles per hour" he
said.

NAVY WILL SPEED
DISCHARGES SOON

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13-(R) -
The Navy announced plans To-Day
to expedite discharge Of personnel
nearing eligibility on points for
whom suitable assignments are not
svailable.
Vice Admiral Louis E. penfeld,
chief of the Bureau Of Personnel,
told a news conference orders
have gone out to commanding Of
ficers authorizing them to cut the
time for releases in such cases by
as much as As days.
With some minor exceptions, he
said, the plan will apply to any
transient enlisted personnel flor
whom suitable work cannot be
found in the naval district or in
the mans or woman's home naval
district"
''This," ne said, twill tend to
meet complaints that mems time
is not being used to advantage. ;"
Admiral Denfeld said it is the
Nays intention ito continue to
announce reductions in release
scores in order that the Nays
previously announced schedule
can be met and maintained. At
this time we can foresee nothing
that will interfere with the con-
tinued speed of Navy demobiliza-
ton"
As Of Jan. 8, he said, Navy de-
mobilization had cut 1,316,299 Of
ficers and men from the peak
strength of more than 100000.
which was slightly ahead of sched-
ule. He said the goal of being
half through by the end of Janu-
airy or early February would be
met.
While carrying out the task of
rehabilitation, Admiral Denfeld
said, his office is also confronted
with the task of building up the
regular Navy to the planned peak
of 100000 men by the time de-
mobilization is complete.
There are now, he said, $4,000
enlisted men and $4,000 officers
h the regular Navy, and enlist
nents are proceeding satisfactor-
lily, totaling $4,000 in November
and 27,8O0 in December. An av-
erage of $4,000 monthly will be
necessary to meet the goal, he
said.
Applications have already been
received from some 10000 reserve
officers for transfer to the regular
Navy, he said, and board is now
studying the applications. Fully
go per cent of the applications, he
said, are from Exceptionally
good" officers.
Applications for transfer are
still coming in at a rate Of 900 to
1000 weekly, and an additional
$4,000 must be selected within the
next six months to meet the goal.

that his return to China might be

PLAN
GOOD WILL TRIP
BY DALE BURGESS
APP Staff Writer


INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 10. In
Sixteen Indiana manufacturers,
newspapermen and Chamber OF
Commerce officials will take wing
next Sunday for six-week tour of
Latin America in what Governor
Ralph F. Gates calls "the Indiana
air age plan of foreign trade de-
velopment.'
The group includes a candy
manufacturer, a builder Of bird
cages and dog beds and the in
ventor of a paper cup with a
handle.
Another member of the party is
attractive young Jeanette E. Nc
Pheeters, who has taken over the
Indianapolis soap manufacturing
business of her husband, a field
artlueryman killed in Italy.
The Indianapolis Chamber of
Commerce is sponsoring the trip.
The group will visit principal Latin
American cities as far south as
Buenos Aires and Santiago. Chile.
They will return March /, via New
Orleans.
Edward Bowling. president of the
billing Candy company. says the
trip is simply a modern develop
ment of "the old-time Chamber of
Commerce county-seat tour" in
which indianapolis businessmen
Travelled to Kokomo, Muncie and
other Hoosier cities to build good
will.
Bowling wants to meet Latin
American sellers of cocoa beans,
sugar, cocoanuts, Brazil and
cashew nuts, canauba wax, oil OF
orange and other candy-makine
materials. He also wants to pro.
mote an all-water route from Latin
America to Indiana via Mississippi
and Ohio river barges. His COM
pany already gets sugar from
Louisiana that way.
Mrs. McPheeters, president Of
Knoxan corporation, wants to start
new chapters of Altrusa Inter
national, a woman's organization
similar to Rotary, when she isn't
looking into Latin American
sources of babassau oil and other
raw materials for her plant.
An amateur actress and ice skat.
er in her spare time, Mrs. Nc
Pheeters says she and her late
husband had often talked about
hunting emeralds on the Amazon
some time.
"I've made up my mind" she
asserts, ''that the world is going
to be my horne instead OF any
state or city or country"
Edward W. Little, the bird cage
manufacturer, will study how to
adapt his products to Latin Amerl-
can markets.
Elmer r. Kruger, president OF
the Paper Art company here and
holder of a patent on a paper cup
with a handle, plans to visit de-
partment stores, stationers and
other outlets for his firn'c paper
guest towels, napkins and other
products.
Mrs. Lillian Kreps, manager OF
the foreign trade department. OF
the Indianapolis Chamber of Com
merce, is going along to get "back-
ground" for her job. Maurice
Early, indianapolis Star columnist,
and Stephen c. holland, editor OF
the Indianapolis News, are max
ing the trip for the same reason.
''This plan," says Governor
Gates, els our postwar -contribu-
ton to carrying out an interna-
tianal friendship policy. Ihase
citizens of Indiana are going on
this tour to establish business con-
tracts which will provide jobs for
our people and income for our
businesses for many years to come.
And I believe that the contacts
they establish will lead to return
visits to Indiana by similar dele
cations from the various republics
to the south.''
