H. Williams of the Louisiana State Federation of Labor arrived in Indianapolis yesterday to address the bien nial legislative conference of the Indiana State Federation of Labor today and tomorrow at the Claypool Hotel. Williams will tell of the Louisiana experience with a "right to" work law. He pre- dieted yesterday it would be repealed it the next session of the state Legislature. It went into effect last summer.

WILLIAMS' appearance was a signal that local labor leaders expect such a bill will be introduced in the Indiana General Assembly next month.

Fatty, may you take up with strangers on the boat or on the train, or make any alterations whatsoever in your train, plane or boat schedules. It was an intensely exciting trip for little Patty, not only because her husband was waiting, like a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow, but also because it was her first ride on either train, plane or boat. At the station, conscientiously following instructions, she hailed a taxi and got primly in. And now, just to show that the Lord and the government take care of people and children, and pretty wives of American soldiers, in Patty's taxi was another wife, somewhat older, much more travel-wise and with three little children, all going to the same boat, across the same ocean, to the same German town, to meet another soldier at the same station, from the same outfit. Since their meeting place, the taxi, had not been declared out of bounds, Patty promptly took up with the older woman and the little children and they all embarked gaily, on a long, pleasant ride.

THE GIVING of a Christmas basket "to some needy family" started as a genuinely generous impulse, a wish to share. It is pleasant on Christmas morning, when surrounded by the warmth and brightness of a happy family Christmas, to know that your generosity has helped brighten somebody else's day. But the Christmas basket, as done by clubs, school groups and other organizations, is fast becoming perfunctory -and spiritless. There are too many instances when, arriving with the basket ingredients in hand, the would-be givers are confronted with the problem of finding the needy family. Real giving envisions f'rst the person and the need.

It Is likely that in many Christmas basket episodes the real givers are the people who give the excuse and accept the basket. But there are many present appeals and many other places to give, ways planned and effective and truly gracious. Lowell's words are timely: "Not what we give, but what we share, for the gift without the giver is bare. Who gives himself with his alms feeds three; himself, his hungering neighbor, and Me."

Police described Gerbitz as a former boy friend of Mrs. Martin.

Auto Crashes Kill State Toll Is 1,011 A 47-year-old Indianapolis man was killed instantly last night when his car went out of control and struck another automobile headon on Ind. 61, one mile north of Lyons. Earlier, four Huntingburg men were killed in a car-truck collision near Jasper and a teen-age girl from Evansville died in a one-car accident near Henderson, Ky. The deaths within the state pushed Indiana's 1954 traffic toll to 1,011. The dead: Kenneth E.

Fields, 47 years old, 2501 South Belmont Avenue. Emil A. Volger, 45, of Huntingburg. Evans E. Fenneman, 36, of Huntingburg.

POLICE SAID Fields, a truck driver for the Indianapolis Dog Pound, lost control of his car trying to steer it back onto the highway after running onto the shoulder. The driver of the other car, Howell Switch, and his companion, Patsy Vaughn, both of Swiss City, suffered only minor injuries.

For instance, the other day Adman Jim Dilley stopped in the Holloway House for breakfast.

He asked for an of scrambled eggs and the grill man scooped some pre-scrambled eggs from an oversized pan on the grill. "How many eggs are there?" asked the cashier. "I don't know," confessed Dilley. "How many eggs on this order?" yelled the cashier to the grill man. "Two," answered the grill man.

But Dilley suggested that the order might be one and a half, but surely not quite two eggs. The manager was summoned and he immediately agreed with Dilley. Some morr gg was scooped Into Dilley's plate. Dilley paid the cashier. But he still had misgivings.

He dared not say it, but he felt the manager had miscalculated a bit and given him two and a half eggs.

Epsteen Gets Suspended 10-Year Term Lewis George Epsteen, former Indianapolis grocery store own er, was found guilty of being an accessory to an armed robbery yesterday and given a 10-year suspended sentence in Indiana State Prison. Special Judge Norman E. Brennan said he was suspending the prison term for the 54-year old defendant largely because of his age and his physical and mental condition. Epsteen, now a Champaign, 111., businessman, was charged with aiding and abetting the $3,000 holdup of the Capitol Distributing Company, 125 0 South West Street on March 19, 1953.

James Joe Jones, 28, 915 E. 14th Street, admitted he staged the holdup but accused Epsteen of engineering it and sharing the loot. Checks taken in the robbery were found in Eosteen's possession.1 Jones has not yet been tried. JUDGE BREXNAV in pronouncing sentence in the Criminal Court, Division 2 case, warned Epsteen that any law violation "in or out of the state" would revoke his probation. Epsteen was placed on probation for five years and disfranchised for the same period.

Although obviously pleased with the suspended sentence, Epsteen again claimed he was innocent of the accessory charge. He said he expected to start back in the automobile business in Champaign after the first of the year. streaked windshield. The rear wheels of his rig struck the Patoka River bridge and the truck jackknifed. The car's roof was smashed down as it wedged under the trailer, killing all four men instantly.

Miss Genet was killed yesterday four miles east of Henderson, when the car in which she was riding jumped a ditch, overturned in the air, throwing her out, and then fell on her. Police identified Ray Herron, 17, son of Elmer Herron, former Henderson County sherif, as the driver of the car. Young Herron and Miss Wilma Collins, 18, of Evansville, received minor injuries.

Hagan's body, bearing 10 stab wounds, was found by a hunter near 16th Street and Franklin Road. The husband and wife admitted drinking with Hagan but denied stabbing him. Shirley Brannon, 21, 523 North West Street, was indicted on a charge of sodomy and Alton Thomas Jones, 33, 1024 North Missouri Street with being an accessory to the same crime.

The charges stemmed from an alleged indecent show staged before a mixed audience at a party on Indiana Avenue last Oct. 23.

W. Hess asked his psychology students at Hillsdale College (Michigan) to rate the 20 chapters in my college textbook on applied psychology. One chapter dealt with "Individual and Sex Differences." Another discussed the "Psychology of Advertising." There was also a chapter on the "Psychology of Salesmanship." Another dealt with "Child Psychology." And there was a chapter on the "Psychology of Writing and Art." OTHER CHAPTERS pertained to "Personnel Administration," "Public Speaking," "Personality Improvement," "Marriage," etc. In fact, I had included one chapter among the 20 on the topic, "Psychology Goes to Church." In that chapter I had listed the contribution of the churches to modern society and had explained why Jesus was the greatest applied psychologist who ever lived. I also included methods for pepping up Sunday schools and for revitalizing the churches.

When the college students rated all the 20 chapters in my textbook the great jority (about 90 per cent) gave first place to that chapter entitled, "Psychology Goes to Church." Teen-agers relish religion. They want to be good and healthy and happy and popular. They crave the more abundant life. No young people contemplate divorce when they get married. Children are devoid of prejudice too.

So it is our adult generation that needs to be indicted when youth go wrong. (Coprriiht, 1(54, Bopklnt Syndicate. Inc.) tablets of ancient Babylon records the gloomy prediction that the writer's current age was going to the dogs and that the days of his childhood were the golden age. So it is apparently customary for older people to look back to their own youth and place a halo thereon. Actually we know sin and immorality have existed in all generations.

But the population of the United States has doubled in a comparatively short span of years. Naturally, therefore, we'd have twice as many instances of crime and rape, even if the same percentage held true today that was typical of our grandparents' generation. Bishop Oxnam. stated before our Chicago Executive Club a few years ago that, in supposedly religious colonial days, only 5 per cent of Americans belonged to any church whatever, Jewish, Catholic or Protestant. At the end of the last century, said Bishop Oxnam, the figure had risen to 25 per cent.

And the latest report shows almost 59 per cent nowadays are church members. County Grand Jury Indicts 4 In Slayings JAMES W. BARTON, M.P. That Body Of Yours I WE HAVE mentioned two diseases or conditions sometimes seen in young children and caused by lack of sufficient vitamins. These were scurvy, resulting from not enough vitamin and rickets, the result of insufficient vitamin D.

Yesterday we discussed scurvy and today let us have a look at rickets. Rickets, the childhood form of vitamin deficiency, is common in mild form. Far advanced cases are seen with increasing rarity, so we will discuss the mild form. Four persons, including a husband and wife, were indicted on murder charges yesterday by the Marion County Grand Jury. Charged with first degree murder in separate cases were William Lee Bear, 31 years old, 1657 College Avenue and John R.

Bentley, 37, 1202 North Capitol Avenue. INDICTED ON second degree murder charges were John Robert Brewer, 31, and his wife, Phyllis Ann 20 formerly of 1540 Park Avenue, Apt-7. Bear was charged in the fatal shooting last Aug. 8 of James C. VanLandingham, 30, 136 South Fourth Street, Beech Grove.

The victim was killed and Miss Ann C. Jeffries, 27, 1730 North Illinois Street was wounded as they left an apartment house on North Illinois Street. Police said Jealousy was the motive for the shooting. Bentley is accused of beating Charles Taylor. 43, 436 West Michigan Street, on the head with a pick handle last Sept 18.

THE BREWERS were In X'S Since the human organism, in the absence of sufficient sunlight, has no other source of the vitamin, artificial feeding is necessary. Most children of the middle and upper economic groups are given a sufficient supply, but it is frequently discontinued too soon. During the entire period of the growth of the bones there is need for the vitamin. AT ABOUT the age of 4 the diet of the child usually widens sufficiently and he is out playing enough so that no further supplements are necessary, but before that time a part of the requirements may be met by artificially enriched foods, although seldom is the entire need fulfilled.

One of the earliest symptoms of vitamin deficiency, seen especially between the ages of four and eight months, is soft spots (from the size of a quarter to the size of a silver dollar) in the back half of the skull. But we must remember that this sign usually disappears by the end of the first year. In older children there may be early "bossing" of the head. This is limply the presence of four rounded protuberances, one in each quarter of the head, giving a "squarehead" appearance.
