DOUBLE-MEANING sign in front of the Big Top Restaurant at 16th and Meridian streets: "Open Till 1 a.m.- Is that an invitation for anyone to open the money drawer at 1 a.m.? A NEWS STORY says many young women of England have started wearing skirts as high as 8 inches above the knee. Sounds outlandish at first blush.

But actually it's nothing. Think of it as like wearing a bathing suit with skirts. ANOTHER PROPOSED law would take more illegitimate children from their mothers by requiring county welfare departments to give the court a full report on conditions under which the children are living. "With this information, the judge would have the whole picture and could decide whether to take the children," Kelly said. The law now.

requires that applications for assistance from an unwed mother already receiving assistance, shall be submitted to the judge of the juvenile court. But it docs not provide for the report on environment that the new law would THE PROBLEM of illegitl-macy is becoming more acute as the numbers increase, Kelly said. A step toward solution would be to remove the children from the environment where the conditions exist he added. There are now 7,598 illegitimate children 1,419 white and 6,179 Negro whose mothers are drawing aid for dependent children, Kelly reported. There are 644 mothers with two or more illegitimate children.

"These repeaters put a stigma on the entire program," Kelly asserted. THERE WAS A tragic coincidence in our front page photo yesterday showing the scene of a fatal accident at Roads 100 and 37. In the picture, a road sign, knocked to the ground by the collision, and reading "Indiana 37," pointed directly at the next column and a large "37" representing the current traffic toll. No. 37 on Road 37.

A FEMININE voice at the other end of the telephone line yesterday asked me to appeal for more sanity in dress. For women to wear more clothing? Not at all. She wants men to wear fewer clothes. "I work in a downtown store," she said. "We women employes dress for the weather outside.

"But the men wear long-sleeve shirts, and coats. And they even wear the heavy C.I. -type undershirts. Then they turn the ty cierxs to keep a aocxet showing compliance with orders of the court for payment of child support. AT PRESENT there is no record except in instances where the court directs that payments be made to the the clerk, Kelly pointed out.

The result is that fathers become delinquent and the only recourse of the mother is to institute new court proceedings, he said. The new law would require the county clerk to serve notice on any father delinquent for 30 days. "Once a man falls far in arrears, there is little chance of collecting the entire amount due." Kelly said. Then the children become charges of the welfare department. As of last September, there were 1,909 delinquents, a condition that the new law would prevent, Kelly said.

Grissom Greeters To Get Elbow Room should WIBC get Channel 13. He said the station at Atlanta is a going concern in a city of more than 1.0O0.000 population. Indianapolis' population is approximately However, Atlanta's TV audience is smaller by 50.000 than the Indianapolis market area, which includes many communities around the Hoosier capital. Higgins, who left WTHI-TV, Terre Haute, last winter to join Richard Fairbanks, owner of WIBC, will move from Indianapolis to Atlanta to head up the staff there. He said Fairbanks intends to spend half his time in Atlanta if the transaction is completed for buying the station.

FOUR APPLICANTS sought Channel 13 in 1948 when the case began Crosley, WIBC, Indianapolis Broadcasting then owner of WIRE, and Midwest TV Inc. Midwest and WIRE both withdrew from the proceedings, leaving the contest between WLW and WIBC. The FCC awarded the channel to WLW but later was ordered by the Circuit Court of Appeals to reconsider. Last October, the FCC took Channel 13 away from Crosley and gave it to WIBC. However, Crosley asked the case to be reopened.

Acting on a WLW request, the FCC left the channel in the hands of WLW-I pending a final determination. McLaughlin said none of the elements of the present proposal for settling the dispute have been discussed with the FCC. He said the parties notified the commission two weeks ago of the negotiations then in progress. Harry T. Ice of Indianapolis, represented WIBC in negotiating the proposed deal, and McLaughlin negotiated for WLW-I.

By BEN COLE The Star's Washington Bureau Washington WIBC and WLW-I yesterday asked the Federal Communications Commission to approve a deal to end the 14-year fight over Indianapolis TV Channel 13. The proposal submitted to the FCC wouid: 1 Leave Channel 13 in the hands of the Crosley Broadcasting Company, owner of WLW-I. 9 Wrould return to WIBC the $100,007.02 it has spent so far trying to get Channel 13 through FCC proceedings. Would permit WIBC to buy Crosley's Atlanta (Ga.) TV station, WLW-A, for $2,941,000, plus another for building and land. THE TWO broadcasters' joint request to the FCC was subject of a full-dress news conference late yesterday in the office of Duke M.

Patrick, attorney for Crosley here. Matthew A. McLaughlin, vice-president and general counsel of Avco Corporation, owner of the Crosley Corporation, outlined the terms of the proposal. McLaughlin said if any one point is rejected by the FCC, then the whole deal is off. WIBC, thus, is gaining the right to buy WLW-A if the FCC approves the transaction.

If the FCC goes ahead with its present case and ultimately awards WIBC the Indianapolis channel, then the deal would be cancelled. JOSEPH HIGGINS, vice-president and general manager of the non-existant WIBC-TV, will go to Atlanta to take over WLW-A if it is purchased by the Indianapolis station. Higgins said it would cost' WIBC an estimated to $1,800,000 to get on the air in Indianapolis, WALTER WiXCnELTs Broadway And Elsewhere MAN ABOUT TOWN The White House Zoo: President Kennedy's top problem (more than the stock-market skid) is that his crystal-ball-experts have told him that 1964 34-acre field was granted by Lehigh Portland Cement Company officials and that facilities there will be adequate for a crowd of more than 30,000 persons.

Mitchell, Ind. (Spl.) A change in location for Virgil S. Grissom Day home-coming Saturday was announced yesterday by Ned Grayson, general chairman. Grayson said that all plans for the celebration in honor of Mitchell's famous astronaut, America's second man in space, remain the same, but the festivities will take place at Lehigh Fields at the east edge of Mitchell instead of at Spring Mill State Park. Grayson said that the change in location was necessitated by the expectation of a much larger crowd than originally anticipated.

A substantial part of it will be spent in Indiana for 18 miles of a 12-inch loop line, 12'2 miles of 26-inch line and 8 miles of 16-inch line. The company has facilities in 24 counties of southern Indiana. A formal hearing on suspected arson in a May 13 fire in Anderson will be held shortly, State Fire Marshal Ira J.

Anderson announced yesterday. The fire occurred May 13 at the strikebound plant of the National Tile Manufacturing Company around a pile of boxed ceramic tile, the fire marshal said. THE FIRE started under a window broken during the strike of the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union. "It looks like that fire had to have help in getting started," Anderson commented. He said one of his investigators visited the plant shortly after the fire but that Madison County sheriff's office refused to serve his summonses on strikers wanted for questioning.

ANDERSON SAID he called the union yesterday and that members agreed to appear voluntarily. They will testify under oath and Anderson said he might ask assistance from Attorney General Edwin K. Steers in conducting the hearing. "If he asks for help, I will assign Deputy Attorney General John J. McShane, who advises department" Steers said.

Anderson said he visited Mayor Ralph R. Ferguson to to questions. And during the lucid interval, the original cause of their complex may be found and remedied. YOU MEMBERS of the family of mental patients should remember the psychological adage that "human beings run away from pain, but approach pleasure." This law is basic to all mankind, as well as lower animals. The Menningers at the state hospital in Kansas have had phenomenal success in restoring mental patients to normal home life by surrounding them with affection and praise.

Formerly, only one patient out of eight ever, was released, to his family. Now Drs. Karl and Will Menninger send home six out of eight That's great! SO TREAT your mental patients with double doses of praise and pleasure. Give them admired objects for possessions. Encourage them tactfully to do hand work or minor household chores and always be lavish with compliments.

If they have sex complexes, eradicate them with the true facts. But these patients are often emotionally like babies. They can't stand on their feet alone, so must crawl before they walk. Go slow, therefore. Send to Dr.

(Copyright 1WJ) SHOCK TREATMENT helps "fog" a patient's memory so that he is able to for-' get his disturbing complex, at least for a time. But shock treatment is generally a palliative thing. It's comparable to masking a headache with aspirin.

The correct treatment of recurring headaches would thus be the removal of the cause, which might be astigmatism. In that event, properly fitting eyeglasses would be the way to get at the root of the headaches. AND SO IT IS with shock treatment. It serves much as psychiatric "aspirin," to cover up the trouble. Shock treatment is very helpful for a time, since many mental patients are entirely disorganized and unable to carry on logical conversation.

The treatment renders them amendable State Highway Chief Plans Inspection Tour State Highway Commission chairman David Cohen and the commission's chief engineer, George E.

To Your Health Lilly Chief To Talk At Lebanon July 4 DEAR DR. STEINCROHN: Until recently I have been a healthy person, 42 years old, but then I began to have terrific pain in my right heel, especially when I put my weight 11 on it Getting to work is a problem. I've been taking blem. I've been taking hot far I soaks at night, but so i they haven't helped. I I appreciate any sugges- W) will I tions.

COMMENT: Probably your trouble is due to a spur on the oscalcis or heel bone. As you say, it's no joke. The cause is often doctor can inject a local anesthetic with cortisone into the painful area. Aspirin helps make the pain more bearable. Some doctors use X-ray treatments in stubborn cases.

Anything to forestall operation. DEAR DR. STEINCROHN: I have suffered from ragweed for the last few years. I can't seem to run away from it. Can you tell me where I can go to escape it? Desen-tization injections haven't seemed to help.

Mrs.LR. COMMENT: Your doctor probably has a "ragweed map" which shows which of our 50 states have little ragweed, and low pollen counts during the hay fever seasons But let me warn you that it's sometimes difficult to "run away" from an allergy. Your allergic cells, deprived of ragweed, may decide to latch on to the pollens of the bloomin' mango tree down South, or take a fancy to house dust. So many people are frustrated by allergic conditions that hang on stubbornly. I know how you must feel.

Instead of running away, I suggest you give your doctor a good opportunity to desensitize you with injections. Sometimes it requires many months of such treatment before you will notice improvement Most people are helped by swim trunks (he ideal Father's Day gif t-witliout-guesswork You know his taste in fashion j'ust pick his Jantzen accordingly.
