MORAN REFUSES 70 BE “RUN OUT” Chicago Gangster, Held for Ques- tioning, Says He Fears Nobody. By the Assoclated Press. CHICAGO, October 22.—The spotlight of investigation flashing again today on the slaying June 9 of Alfred Lingle, Cribune reporter, revealed George (Bugs) Moran, gangless gang leader, in a ges- ture of deflance. “I am not afraid of any one,” Moran | declared on his return to Chicago on a vagrancy charge, following his arrest early yesterday in a resort near Antioch. “Chicago is my home and I'm going to stay here. I won't be run out by cops, courts, citizens or crooks.” Asked by newspaper men where he had been since the Lingle slaying, Mo- ran sald he had been “here and there” hunting and fishing, with occasional visits to Chicago to collect dividends. He added that he could not be classed as a vagrant, having an income of around $25,000 a year as part owner of & cleaners and dyers company. Moran is reputed to be an enemy of Alphonse Capone, notorious gang leader, and it was Lingie's friendship for Ca- ne that inclined police to believe that loran might have had something to do with the newspaper man's death. Mo- ran insisted g: had nothing against Capone. When asked by reporters who slew seven of his followers in a North Clark street garage a year ago last St. Valentine's day, he only replied: “Santa Claus.” Held at the detective bureau, Moran was closely guarded and the police had no revelations to make of what, if any- thing, they learned by questioning him.

URGES LOWER PRICED HOSPITALS FOR POOR Julius Rosenwald, Chicago Philan- thropist, Stresses Need of Efficient Service at Moderate Cost. 22, By the Associated Press. NEW ORLEANS, La, October 22.— Julius Rosenwald, Chicago philanthro- pist, Monday night. urged the establish- ment of more moderate pay clinics and hospitals to provide efficient service at fees within reach of the average man. He addressed members of the American Hospital Association, now in conven- tion. Pointing out that with more than three billion dollars invested in Ameri- can hosptials, the institutions have en- tered the class of big business, Mr. Rosenwald told of the success of hos- pitals running with a schedule of charges and professional fees within reach of persons of limited salary. As an example, he cited the moder- ate priced pay clinics of the University of Chicago in connection with its teach- ing hospital. During the year 1929-30 e hospital ran 82 per cent full and the pay clinics increased from a trifle more than one hundred patients a day during its opening year, three years ago, to almost three hundred a day at pres- ent, he said. “The receipts from pay patients for all the services of the hospital and clinics amounted last year to more than $500,000,” continued Mr. Rosenwald. “If this service had been given on a charity basis it would have required the income on a $10,000,000 endowment. Therefore it seems to me that universities and hospitals have no right to attempt to raise huge endowments for service which can and should be paid for by the recipient.” Mrs. nwald concluded with the contention that the “self-respecting” American does not want charity, but “expects what he buys, as well as any services he receives, shall be furnished as efficlently as possible and at such prices that he may be able to pay for what he gets.” Therefore, he said, hospitals and clin- ics at the present time should decrease Lhrl]z free and greatly enlarge their pay worl Undergraduate Life Reviewed.

By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, October 23—Constant [¥‘nibbling” of freight rates, the advance o; hluuv.nmwmuon 'n'.hd dnclvelnpm::n of waterways endanger the salutary re- sults foreseen for railroads in the mmgoruuon act of 1920, W. B. Storey, president of the Santa Fe Railroad, said in an address prepared for delive at the seventh ‘c’onrerenoe of major here to~ ay. Monmmtwmuo(mlndnlfl business men of the United States accepted invitations to the one-day ses- sion, under the auspices of the Uni+ versity of Chicago and the Institute of American Meat kers. Storey Explains Situation. Storey, in discussing “Railroads,” said the tendency of the railroad lines them- selves to make low rates to develop business, thus lowering the general av- erage, a steady increase In operating expense, constant increase in taxes, Government subsl of water routes, and only partial solution of the labor situation are other factors deterring the growth and development of & more solid national system. “I try not to be pesstmistic, but if these influences continue, disaster to the railroads must follow,” he sald. “I am not_now considering the poor business of this year, but the condition of affairs in normal years.” Referring to the continued tendency to reduce rates he sald that “occas- ionally Congress takes a hand and s & bill like the Hoch-Smith reso- ution by which the Commerce Com- mission is introduced to give the farmer relief through freight rates.” Diversion of Business Cited. “There 1s next a diversion of busi- ness from railroads by the truck, the bus, the automobile, pipe lines, water- ways and the Panama Canal. The Government 1is alding the development of waterways in every way and is finan- cing barge lines on the rivers. The barge lines pay no'.hlng for the mainte- nance of roadbeds and their rates are not fixed by cost of service.” “In_spite of the ineffectiveness of several important elements of the law,” Storey said, ‘the transportation act has been of great value to the railroads. The unworkableness of certain provis- ions has been demonstrated and many new conditions have arisen. Changes should be made to meet them.” BORAH APPROVES SOVIET RELATIONS Holds U. 8.
