HAMMOND BUSINESS FOR HAMMOND nearly goes out oi nam- i a r. a a I mond each year to out-of-town I bakeries who do business with local grocers, it was revealed today by Councilman Roy Sweitzer, who is making an effort to keep Ham mond business in Hammond. These figures, Sweitzer said, do not include the bread sales done by the Gordon Baking company of Chicago in the A. and P.

chain or the Consumer Sanitary Stores, chain organizations operating number of stores in Hammond. Nine Chicago bakeries and one Calumet City bakery operate 21 irucKS in me cuy oi nammona, wnicn transact Dusiness witn lo cal independent grocers, Sweitzer's investigation revealed. These companies, it was revealed, are doing business with 170 grocers in Hammond proper, Hessviile and Robertsdale. In contrast to the ap proximate $191,000 worth of busi ness done last year, Sweitzer pointed out that local bakers are doing a comparatively small volume. It was learned that John Mehan, North township trustee, has also taken up the fight for local bakers and has threatened to take town- shin business away from grocers who insist upon patronizing Chi- cago firms exclusively.

Following is the list of bakeries that are inchidpd in the investiza- tion by Sweitzer, who himself is a grocer of long standing in Ham- mono: 1 Gordon Baking company, 5324 South Federal street; Ward Baking next week to award contracts sub-company. 5659 South LaSalle ject to the approval of the P.

CAL. CITY NEEDS $15,000 FOR NEW CHLORINE PLANT Calumet City is striving to fi- nance a $15,000 water chlorination plant with a federal grant, accord ing to Mayor John W. Jaranow-ski's office. reported today that the mayor ap- plied for P. W.

A. funds with which to build the unit, but was informed recently that none is available for this purpose at present The P. W. A. assured the mayor, however, that the project would be taken under advisement the moment congress allocated additional funds for public works jobs, according to the secretary.

The chlorination plant was rec ommended by the Illinois State Board of Health in order to provide additional safeguards for Calumet City's water supply. Calumet City receives its water from Chicago where it is filtered and chlorinated. The Chicago chlor ination station, however, is eight miles away; consequently, when the water reaches Calumet City's reservoir, much of the medication has evaporated, according to the state board of health, A small chlorination plant at the reservoir, in the opinion or tne state board, will eliminate any possible contamination that may affect the water before it reaches the reservoir.

25. fThe national socio-economic security question, presented to the country by President Roosevelt, with its various details of unemployment insurance, old age pensions, annuities, maternity aid, health benefits and assistance of handicapped children, comes close to being an impossible problem to analyze except as it works out its own succession of answers by a prolonged series of experiments. For one thing, so far as the federal government is concerned, the president, in his message to congress on the sketched what amounted only to the skeleton of a socio-economic security system. The states, in their various ways, are expected to fill out the skeleton. They undoubtedly will do it in 48 different fashions.

How can an average be struck, in such a matter? Some of the Issues Some of the issues involved are not essential, in principle. For example: The weekly rate of unemployment insurance payments is a secondary proposition to acceptance of the axiom that a. willing, capable worker, who loses his job through no fault of his own, and can't find another, hard as he tries, ought to have a living allowance, for himself and family, until employment again is available for him. It generally is suggested, indeed, at present, that this allowance be limited to a 10-week period. Today, with many men throughout the land who have been jobless for two or three years, this certainly seems Insufficient.

Still, if unemployment can be cushioned by such a system as President Roosevelt outlines, maybe there would be no more two, three or four-year stretches of w-idespread involuntary idleness; thus maybe 10-week insurance would be adequate, generally speaking. Assume the affirmative, for the sake of argument. As to old age pensions: At what age shall they start? 60 or 65 or 70? That, too, is arguable. The amount also is properly subject to discussion. The vital point is that the desirability of old age pensions be admitted.

Who Shall Foot Bui? Even conservatives are coming over to the view that public provision for the unavoidably necessitous i3 wise policy. Illustratively, the old cannot be permitted actually to starve. Mass opinion is against it. And it is beginning to be more and more realized that pensions not only are pre ferable to poor houses on grounds of common humanity, but that pen sions are cheaper. The real issue is: Who shall foot the bill? The reactionary idea (I don't say the conservatives' idea, for there are conservatives who dissent from it) is that ordinary folk, as dis tinguished from the financial upper class" should carry their own burden.

To explain: When the current depression set in, the Hoover administration im-. mediately hit on a share-the-work program. In other words, a work er who had a job was expected to surrender a fraction of it, pay and all, to provide work for some unemployed worker; the thought was that the employed workers should share with the unemployed, with no contribution from the employ ers. Plan Used, Nevertheless This reasoning was seen through by many of the employed and never has been popular among them, but it has been made quite largely ef fective, despite their opposition, The general standard of living has been lowered, especially in the white collar classification, because It lacks organization. However, or ganized labor has suffered simi larly, in a different fashion; it has maintained its scale, per hour and day, but its number of hours and days has been vastly curtailed.

The reactionary scheme on Capi tol Hill is to crystallize this sys tern by taxing the hoi polloi (mean ing most of us) for social security, without taxing the upper crust not proportionately, anyway. President Roosevelt's notion evi dently is to divide the load. But, to quote a characteristic au thority, Senator VanNuys, of Indi ana. already is on record as criticiz ing the presidential plan, on the ground that it will allow the Hoosier legislature (in carrying out his state's part of the program) to levy rather on the employers than on labor which, he says, would be a dole, an abhorrent thing, he de clares, to self-respecting worKers. Can This Work? An opposing Capitol Hill element, a is a is A court action will be heard in Gary Superior court today to determine what will be done with a sum of $315, held by police as the estate of George Hall, 27, shot and killed by Gary police after he had helped two other robbers loot a bank at Burlington, Ky.

His two confederates have also been captured. While the Burlington bank officials claimed that $2,200 was taken by the robbers, only approximately $700 has been accounted for. After police had shot and killed Hall during a gun battle, police found the $315 by his side. The widow of Hall, a former steel mill employe, is seeking to recover the money. MOTORISTS HAVE NARROW ESCAPE Seven motorists had a miracu-lousescape from death and serious injury in Gary last night when the driver, Henry Zieglar, 4321 Fir street, Indiana Harbor, ignorant that a fast Pennsy flier was due, drove into the side of the train as it whizzed over the crossing on Broadway, early this morning.

Six of the occupants were women, all employes of Mercy" hospital, to where they were removed for treatment of minor injuries. They were listed as Carrie and Nellie O'Bara, 1157 Harrison street, Luba Belkoff, Mary Wieczcolk, Mrs. Clara Raub and Verencia Higrak. When the engineer of the train brought the flier to a stop he told police that the gates were up. An drew Kupka, 52, 3889 Maryland st, the crossing towerman, stated that he had lowered the gates but something happened and they went back up and he could not get them down again before the train reached the crossing.

The auto was almost demolished. THAWS OUT WATER PIPE; STARTS FIRE Carelessness in thawing out a frozen water pipe with a piece of newspaper cost the owner of a building a $25 loss at 1746 Connecticut street, last night.

The Indiana American Legion will seek laws in the present general as sembly to bar the communist party from the ballot, a resolution xne-moralizing congress to pay immediately the veteran's bonus, an enlarged state police force free from politics and an appropriation to help the legion bear the heavy load of service work to veterans and their dependents, Frank R.

Kossa, of Jeffersonville, state commander of the organization said here today. The legion legislative program contained seven proposals. The bill dealing with communists asked that no party which advocates destruction of our government by force be permitted to put its name on an Indiana lection ballot The Indiana legion Is back of a state police bill incorporating many of the proposals for improvement made by Al G. Feeney, state director, who is also a legionnaire! Among the features which the le gion seeks will be an enlarged state police force, a non-partisan competitive system of naming members of the state police and establish ment of a training and merit sys tem for the department The legion, which has apent in the past about $200,000 in Indiana, establishing the claims and giving service to disabled veterans and their dependents, will ask a state appropriation of $15,000 to aid the organization in carrying the vast load of service work in this state, Kossa said. A number of other state governments have made appropriations to aid in service work for veterans.

The legion In its Miami, Fla national convention passed a resolution that since the avowed policy of the federal government was to spent vast sums to speed recovery, that the adjusted service certificates or bonus be paid. Discharge of this obligation which must eventually be paid would be a sound banking policy, Kossa de clared. The legion will seek a reso lution from the present session set ting forth that the bonus should be paid as a relief and recovery measure. The legion in its legislative pro gram will back the appropriation ior tne Knightstown Soldiers and Sailors Children's Home na fin- proved by the state budeet com mittee. A bill seeking free tuition an state education institutions for graduates of the Kniehtstown Home and orphans of veterans killed in action or who have died as a result of service-connected disabilities will be presented.

The loss or a parent in wartime spm has handicapped these children and it is only fair that they be given some additional advantages in get ting an eaucation, Kossa said. lhe legion stands stronelv as a result of state and national con vention resolutions for ratification Dy tnis state of the child labor amendment to the federal constitution. In its legislative nroeram th 1p- gin has abided strictly by the mandates of the Gary state convention and the Miami national convention Kossa stated. The legislative com mittee or the legion has declined to back numerous independent proposals brought to its attention, the state commander of the organization said. MICHAEL JUNG.

YOUTHS MAY ESCAPE PENALTY With no proof that a fire started by them was accidental, it appeared likely today that two Gary youths, James Moss, 19, and John Chirreli, 20, who caused destruction of the Gary Lumber Co.

yard on June 20, 1933, entailing a $35,000 fire loss, may escape punishment. However, charges of burglary will be filed against them today, in order that they may give bond and give officials time to determine what should be done with them. A father of one of the boys is a veteran and trusted employe of the lumber company, since rebuilt. When arrested after one of the youths "talked too much," they admitted that they were responsible for starting the conflagration. They confessed that they had visited the yards on the night of the fire to get some gasoline to take a ride to Miller beach.

After taking three gallons of gasoline in a five gallon container, one of the boys bumped into an obstruction, causing him to spill the gasoline on a pile of inflam-able tar roofing paper. In the darkness one of the boys thoughtlessly struck a match and it ignited the gasoline, setting fire to the tar paper. The blaze spread quickly and frightened they ran from the yards. They were going to turn in an alarm, but upon reaching the call box found that a policeman had al ready called the fire department. GARY FIREMEN TO FORM CREDIT UNION Nineteen Gary firemen attended an initial meeting last night, when it was resolved by a unanimous ote to take preliminary steps for the organization of the Gary Fire-mens' Credit Union.

A charter will be sought. The local credit bureau will be similar to those organized by em ployes of the Gary Street Railway and Gary Postal Employes. It is understood that Gary school teach- rs have also taken steps to form a credit union, along lines outlined under the state law. A total of 73 of the credit unions are now functioning over the state. If the charter is granted the Gary Fire Department Credit Union would have a membership of more than 100.

The credit union is operated along the lines of a state bank, but loans drawing one per cent interest may only be taken out by members who purchase shares of stock. SPENDS STOLEN CASH FOR A GOOD TIME Five hundred dollars in cash which Nick Candea, 19, 1106 Jeffer son street, stole from John Micora, Gary grocer, brought the youth lit tle or no happiness, he admitted to day when he faced a charge of burglary. 'I wanted to go to a dance and had no money," he confessed today. 'I knew where Micora hid his money and went to his home. I only expected to find a few dollars and was amazed when the money sack contained the small fortune.1 Candea, arrested this week at De troit, where he was visiting a sis ter, only had $280 of the stolen money left, having spent the balance buying clothes, a good watch and having a good time.

SCHOOLS HAVE HOLIDAY TODAY With the exception of one school center which was closed Wednes day on account of the freak blizzard which visited Gary public school of the city will have a holi day today. An account of light attendance caused by tne storm and zero weather, school officials decided to close schools today to enable the teaching staff to make preparations for the opening of the second school semester on Monday of next week, however, wants wealth taxed by way of dividing it up more evenly than at present. It isn't wholly a radical element, either. I could name as supposedly con servative a pair as Senator M. M.

Logan, of Kentucky, and Repre sentative Hamilton Fish, of New York, who blame a greedy capitalism, in great measure, for the last few years of depression. But I don't exactly see how they hope to make capital pay for un employment insurance, old age pen sions, et cetera. It seems to me that, even if taxed, the employing group simply will pass the tax burden on to the ultimate consumer the ultimate consumer being the rank and file of us. But It's to Be Used as Prize at President's Birthday Ball Has Unsavory History Calumet City finally has found a use for that pesky vacuum cleaner which brought the police department so much unsavory publicity since last fall. It will be used as the door prize for the President's Birthday ball to be conducted by the municipality in Calumet Memorial building next Wednesday night.

The gadget was purchased by the police department last fall as the prize of a raffle which the department decided to con duct in order to raise money for a squad car. John McCrory, business man of Plymouth, was picked up for speeding in Calumet City shortly thereafter. He pur chased $5 of the raffle tickets and then reported to the Chicago Motor club that Calumet City was conducting a big "racket." The item got into the newspapers, much to the embarrassment of the town. To make matters worse, McCrory won the cleaner in the draw that was held about a month ago, but he politely refused to accept it. Now the police department will wipe its hands of the whole mess by contributing the cleaner to the President's Birthday ball committee.

COURT HEARING HECKLER BOND CASE EVIDENCE Superior Judge John F. Cody to day was hearing argument on the action by which Henry O. Reissig seeks to be released from bond he signed in 1931 for Henry Heckler, now planted in the office of Ham mond city treasurer despite the (lection of a successor, Harvey Post, last November.

Other tradesmen will resume work next week. The cost of construction will not exceed $462,000, the amount appro- priated for the building, according to Harry Stilley, president of the board of works and city attorney.

Housewives have been keeping their food purchases down to neces sities in the main, due to the refusal to venture into the frigid atmosphere. As a result their buy ing is expected to be heavy tomor row to replenish their cupboards. Fresh vegetables of the hothouse variety are selling at unusually low prices for this season of the year Tomatoes, radishes, lettuce, celery and other vegetables are far lower today than they were at this time a year ago. The best buy in the meat line, ac- cording to the committee on mar- keting information of the Meat I Council of Chicago, is pot-roat of beef. Lamb shoulder roast and lamb shoulder chops are also recommended.

Sea foods are popu- lar because of their attractive prices, especially perch, pike and trout. Butter, eggs, cheese and poultry have indicated an upward swing. Those who like strawberries will be glad to know that they have dropped to one-third of what they were selling at during he recent holiadys. In the citrus line, grape- fruit has dropped most in price during the last week; oranges as well as lemons are also low. Apple prices are very reasonable.

lour has increased surprisingly, and with it the price of bakery goods has also risen. POOR EXPENSE HIGH IN SPITE OF WORK PLAN Poor relief requirements in the North township municipalities of Hammond, East Chicago, hiting, Munster, and Highland are greater this month than they were for January of 1934 and 1932, but are less than for January, 1933, accord ing to the tabulation maintained bv The Hammond Times since 1932.
