"Taa Wraac Rad" wanary, lTI at B). NOW SHOWWC-IH C001 COMFORT i 'fr A Swindling Injures Legitimate Business, Overley Tells Rotary. Staggering gums are lost annually to fraudulent schemes and each dollar they draw is lost to productive business, Toner M. Overley, secretary-manager of the Indianapolis Better Business Bureau, said yesterday at the lunch eon of the Rotary Club In the Claypool Hotel. "Styles In swindling change with the seasons," he said.

"They are influenced by current events, economic conditions, legislation and other circumstances. In a declining market the number of 'bucket shops' grows and when unemployment is greatest, cash bond and partnership and other frauds abound. "There is said to be a continual race between the safemaker and the safebreaker; the former to prevent burglaries and the other to overcome the obstacles devised by them. There is a race between legislators and white collar bandits who try to find loopholes in the laws adopted. Crime Big Business.

"Swindling and crime are big business and one of the most im portant problems in the country loaay. mere is no adequate estimate of the monev that is he. ing lost annually in fraudulent schemes, but it has been said to be between $4,000,000,000 and 000,000,000." To illustrate the eieantie Ins Mr. Overley told the Rotarlans to "think of a paved highway reacting from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast. 1 "If the roadside were divided into 100-foot lots their would be of them.

The money lost would build a $10,000 house on each, provide $5,000 each for fur- nisnings, give each family a $5,000 bank account, a S2.000 autnmnhiio a $100,000 schoolhouse every mile, church every mile and tnero still would be $1,500,000 left for charity or taxes. I he crook a nonmodueer nnH stagnates the turnover of the dollar, an essential to good business," he asserted. All Others Sillier. Mr. Overley, to show how legitimate businesses are affected ad versely by the "take" of swindlers, cited the case of a merchant who intended to spend several thousand dollars In surplus In remodeling his store.

Instead, used the money to Invest in stock which proved to be fake. "The bank, the wholesaler, the workmen, furniture dealers, the insurance company, every business institution to whom he was a po tential customer, lost to the swindler," he said. All such transactions affect you whether you realize it or not. The modern styles In swindling include "sell and switch" bucket, shops, assessment societies incorporated as nonprofit organizations, oil royalties schemes, whisky warehouse receipt schemes, bingo games, and other types equally as vicious. "There is no answer lo the problem," Mr.

Overley said, "unless, ultimately, the public is educated to repudiate crime, swindles and petty rackets. Methods Are Numerous. "Styles and methods of the swindlers run Into the thousands. It not only Is your duty, it is your responsibility to use the information available today In private and governmental agencies. And your calls to us give information on what Is going on in the community.

Some schemes may seem like petty rackets, but each time you pay swindlers you withdraw money from productive channels. The Better Busines Bureau warns 'before you invest investigate' and 'read before you Mr. Overley was introduced by Ernest C. Ropkey, vice-president of the Better Business Bureau.

Doyle, United States district attorney here, said today that Chester Richardson, 16 years old, of Indianapolis, is one of the first youths to come under the jurisdiction of the new juvenile delinquency law. Richardson was arrested on a charge of driving a stolen automobile from Indiana to Greenville, 111. Under the new law, he was charged with being a delinquent and sentenced 'by District Judge Charles G. Brlggle to the custody of the attorney general for three years. Mr.

The new juvenile delinquency law was passed as Congress ended its recent session and signed by the President only a few weeks ago, B. Howard Caughran, assistant United States district attorney here, said last night The law provides that persons 16 years old and under need not wait for grand jury action, but may be tried Immediately and turned pver to the custody of the attorney general for commitment to a suitable Institution. The law makes It possible for youths to avoid association with hardened criminals In county jails.

Lost in mow and Jog to the tele-scope of observer during the four day and three night they spent on the mountain, the Al pinist had been feared dead. By FRITZ KASPAREK. fCopyrlBhl. 1938, by the North American Newspaper Alliance, Inc.) Geneva, July 26.

We are delighted over our success, mainly because our climb will end the previous rivalry for the first ascent of Mt. Eiger's north wall. We acted in no record-breaking spirit, and seek no publicity. Herr Harrar and I started last Thursday, and at 7 o'clock reached 9,000 feet on the Eigerwand. Our first bivouac was on a small ice plateau.

On Friday morning, after a terrible job of climbing about 1,000 feet over ice-bound rock, cutting steps all the way, we finally reached the so-called "death bivouac," at 10,000 feet, where many previous climbers have found death. This was terribly difficult, and we reached it only in the late afternoon, when we met our friends from Munich (Herr Voerg and Herr Heckmaier), who had started from Kleine Scheidegg in the small hours of Friday morning. All four of us joined up, and we did another 700 feet over the "death bivouac." There, at our next bivouac, we spent a very cold night, exhausted and worried about the weather conditions. Begin Last Climb. Next morning, we started the last and most difficult part of the climb.

Th weather changed for the worse, there were frightful avalanches all around us, there were stone falls on all sides, and the visibility was nil. About this time I was wounded by a stone fall. Saturday night was the worst night I ever spent. Return was impossible, and the only alternatives were an advahce or death where we hung. Therefore, we battled upward in the snow my companions lost sight of me as I cut steps in advance.

Finally, we conquered the last 500 feet at 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon, and we enjoyed our triumph. All the guides at Grindelwald thought us lost. After a short rest, we took the ordinary route down and were met by our Swiss and German friends just above the Eigergletscher hut. It was only when our friends welcomed use that we realized the dangers we had escaped. TVA Operations Loss Admitted Knoxville, July 26.

UP) A congressional committee called a halt today on outbursts of the old TVA directors' feud and turned to more relevant, matters in the investigation of the Tennessee Valley Authority. The action came after the committee had listened for seven days to charges and countercharges of Arthur E. Morgan, deposed TVA chairman, and Director David E. Lilienthal. Lilienthal admitted under questioning by Wolverton that in Its present undeveloped stage, the TVA's power program is losing money.

Revenues Insufficient. He said that present revenues from Wilson, Wheeler and Norris dams do not cover operating and fixed charges and will not until the unified system of dams is near completion. He had previously testified that municipalities and co-operatives buying TVA power at wholesale rates, and reselling it, have shown a profit, and that the TVA program would pay its way when In full swing. Lilienthal opened his testimony today by reading from a long statement In which he accused Dr. Morgan of "collaborating" In 1936 with high utility executives on a proposed power pool, and concealing his actions from his associates.

Power Pooling Plan. Lilionthal's prepared statement said Dr. Morgan sought the advice of Owen D. Young, chairman of the board of General Electric Company; Samuel Ferguson, president of the Hartford Electric Company; and George W. Hamilton, a former Insull utility executive, among others, in preparing a memorandum to President Roosevelt on a plan for pooling power In the valley area.

Lilienthal said he opposed the plan as a "violation of the statute creating TVA." Legally Married or Not, Ex-Actress Gets Alimony Los Angeles, July 26.

Mile My By FREDERICK C. OTHMAN. Hollywood, July 26. (U.P.) The movie chieftains, ho usually are willing to talk on any subject at length so long as their names are spelled right in resultant news paper dispatches, unanimously turned Into human clams today in connection with the Federal antitrust suit against the industry Their silence, perhaps, was more significant than would have been their $1,000,000 words; it indicated that the day of the eighth-rate movie, which the theaters frequently are forced to show in spite of themselves, is nearing an end. The civil suit instituted by Attorney General Homer S.

Cum-mings charges simply that the same crew making movies exhibits them in its own theaters, thereby stifling competition. The attorney general didn't say so, but this situation frequently keeps a good show from being unreeled; it also results In many a stinkeroo being foisted on the helpless fans. Wants Free Market. What Cummings wants is a free market, whereby every theater manager could take a look at Hollywood's merchandise and buy only that which he believes his customers would like to see. Will Hays, head of the Pro ducers' Association, is in town, conferring with the movie makers on their forthcoming court battle.

They have their own side of the story, and they claim privately that a sweeping antitrust order probably would be ruinous to some of them. Odds are that the government and the producers will enter Into a consent decree tanta mount to a compromise and that at least some of the admitted evils of the present situation will be eliminated. Let's consider first the -good pictures which never are exhibited in a first-class theater. They're the ones made by the independent studios, here, in New York and abroad. A good example is "Afri can Holiday," produced by a retired insurance executive to show up the fakirs among African ex plorers.

This film is one of the most Interesting we ever saw, yet its producers could sell it only to those few independent theaters re maining in the large cities. Even some of these had to buy under their contracts another film from one of the big studios and neglect to show it on the night that "African Holiday" was unreeled. Reaches Small Public. Still another excellent picture of the last few months was "Boy of the Streets," produced by Monogram. This company has its own distributing organization and it manages to show profits In rental of films to independent theaters.

Yet "Boy of the Streets" reached only a fraction of the fans who had every right to see it More serious still to the man who pays his 66 cents at the box office is the swarm of distinctly had pictures which Hollywood produces. They're the ones you seldom hear about until you run into one. Each big studio makes around 50 pictures a year. About one-third of these usually are "A's," which means pictures on which considerable thought and money have been spent. Even then they're frequently not so good.

It is unfair to single out a picture by name as a bad one, without reiterating that all studios have their unfortunate productions. Most of the out-and-out "B's" consist of seven reels of film, produced on schedule like washing machines and seldom any more There are exceptions, of course, but they're few and far between. These so-called "program pictures" also go into all the theaters holding contracts with the major studios. Fact is, a 4 theater operator is forced to take the "B's" before the salesman will let him buy the The producers claim, with some justice, that when they sink money Lin large chunks into movies, they If they have a hit. If they produce a flop, nobody gets paid.

That, essentially, is the difference between the stage and the screen and it's why the movie makers consider the antitrust suit such a body-blow. Ken Maynard and Tarzan at Vogue Ken Maynard, the Hoosier cowboy star of films and circus who placed a "good luck" brick in the Vogue Theater while it was under construction several months ago, will return to that theater for personal appearances today and tomorrow under the auspices of his good friend the owner, Carl Niesse. Maynard will have his famous horse, Tarzan, with him. They will appear at 4, 7 and 9:30 o'clock each day. Doors will open for the matinees at 2:30 o'clock.

The feature film attraction will be "Rascals," starring Jane Withers. Maynard recently discovered himself to be something of a discoverer when it was called to his attention that the popular comedy star, Bob Burns, had appeared in a small role in "Tombstone Canyon," a film he made four years ego. Maynard looked at the film again to see and there was Burns in the role of the sheriff. He recalled that Burhs was hired because his dialect made him a natural for the role. Maynard himself plays the guitar and banjo and is a cartoonist in addition to his Western accomplishments.

Being a modern cowboy, he flies his own plane as well as rides. He was born In Texas, but the family moved to Columbus, where his father and mother still live. Ken attended Virginia Military Institute before turning to horse opera. His favorite mount, Tarzan, has two understudies, but Mr. Niesse is assured that the original will be with him here.

(By Nnvy Radio to the United Press) President Roosevelt worked steadily at his desk todny while the U.S.S. Houston carried him through tropic waters to an anchorage in Elizabeth bny, picturesque spot on Albemarle Island, largest of the Galapagos group. Many messages were exchanged between the cruiser and government olilces In Washington as the cruiser made a circuitous trip around the island from Tagus cove to the bay.
