Herbert Hill suggested that the board of public works and safety appoint at least one more inspector. The councilman told his colleagues that the sole inspector, Lind Lagerwall.

"It is cheaper to prevent a fire that it is to quench it" the alderman said. Assistant Recommended "There is too much work In East Chicago for one fire inspector. Not only does he inspect homes, buildings and schools in his tour of duty but he must keep records and make rv ports," he added.

"Bud" Mark of Michigan City, a guard in Cook's dormitory at the time, corroborated the testimony of Cook and the prisoner's sister.

Judge Swygert found Cook was "the object of arbitrary, unreasonable and. oppressive discrimination" by Indiana officials, contrary to prohibitions of the 14th amendment of the Constitution and was thwarted in his efforts to gain state court review of his conviction. His ruling stated: "It is apparent that if there has been an omission in relation to his original attempt to appeal which amounts to a breach of his constitutional rights, the petitioner's remaining remedy is by discharge on this writ of habeas corpus. Whether or not he is guilty of the crime for which he was imprisoned for the past 17 years is not material to the issues."

C. E. Adams, William Schaefer, Fred Kolb, Andrew Vander Wall and Martin Boender, the latter two representing the Association for Christian Instruction. Supporters of Mrs. Ginther said a great part of the Midway conditions which have aroused the two towns into action are attributed to large organizations which sponsor picnics at the park and install their own gambling devices and liquor concessions.

Bielski previously had proposed that objectionable concessions be removed airfl that a segregated section of the picnic grove be devoted to rides which provide amusement for children.

Earl R.

Norris and Jor.n J. Maj-narich of the University of Washington at Seattle. These scientists call the vitamin B-14, but say that in origin and function it may be more a hormone than a vitamin. It was isolated in crystalline form from human kidney excretions. A tiny amount of this new vitamin checks the reproduction of cancer cells, specifically those of the Brown Pearce tumor, in test tube experiments.

But while vitamin B-14 has the same effect as the chemical product of enzyme action on folic acid, the scientists do not think it is the same chemical. Cancer authorities here warn that while the vitamin's anti-cancer effect has theoretically important implications, a "wait and see" attitude must be taken with regard to practical applications. They point out that the road from test tube results to human applications is long and frequently disappointing. Whiting, and Mrs. Mabel Connelly, Kansas City, Mo, and two brothers, B.
