D—8 PENSION LOTTERY WINS IN MAINE House Passes Old-Age Measure, but Senate De- feat Is Forecast. By the Associated Press. AUGUSTA, Me., March 22—A State lottery bill to finance old-age pensions won a surprising three-vote victory yesterday in the House, but Icgislative leaders predicted its demise in the Senate. The measure, providing for a ref- erendum, apportioned 55 per cent of the lottery receipts to supply funds for the $15-a-month pension for per- sons 65 years or over which was en- acted by the previous Legislature two years ago, but for which no money ‘was appropriated. 35 Per Cent for Prizes. Thirty-five per cent of the income would be paid in prizes and 10 per cent would be set aside for adminis- tration costs. Democratic Gov. Louis J. Brann was non-committal toward the measure. “I have not seen the bill,” he said, “and unm I do I cannot express an opinion.’ Sources close to him, however, said he did not expect the bill to be en- acted Representative George E. Hill, floor leader of the majority Republican membership. voted against the bill, while the Democratic floor leader, Representative John Clark Scates, voted for it. Neither engaged in the torrid debate which preceded the 74- to-71 vote. Only Quick Means. Proponents argued the bill provided the only means at this late stage of the legislative session to raise money quickly to pay old-age pensions and that it would “keep money in Maine for the use of Maine people that is now going into other lotteries.” Estimates were that the bill would bring in $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 an- nually, while old-age pensions would cost approximately $500,000 to $1,000,- 000 a year. Those who spoke against the bill said it was but a “gambling” measure “which cannot permanently help the mothers of Maine.” BETTER BROADCASTS FOR CHILDREN URGED| ¥Radio Insane” Explained by Dr. J. E. Morgan in Seeking Remedy. To the ranks of the “movie insane” long known to psychologists, now can be added a growing number of the “radio insane,” said Dr. Joy Elmer Morgan, editor, the National Educa- tional Association Magazine, at the weekly Secretaries’ Staff Conference of the Y. M. C. A. meeting yesterday. To save the world from a growing horde of little girls of eight who specialize in “torch songs” and little boys of the same age whose ambi- tion is to become a “Little Caesar,” Dr. Morgan recommended that chil- dren under ten not be allowed to go to the movies, and that the Govern- ment should sponsor a series of edu- cational broadcasts which might grad- ually take the place of the blood and thunder now offered. Dr. Morgan deplored the flood of programs which bombard children with advertising, and urged that the United States find some compromise with the British system which for- bids radio advertising. He urged parents not to let their children go to pictures they themselves have not seen, and asked that labels of “for adults only” be attached by law to many of them He asked that the system of “block booking” and “blind buying” now common in the movie industry be abolished, as a way to stem the flood of medmcre pictures.

They chew it, they smoke it in pipes, they smoke cigars and cigarettes, and here is what an eminent physician said about cigarettes: ““I have been something of a student of cigarettes, and it is my belief that they offer the mildest and purest form in which tobacco is used.” Yes, nowadays the cigarette is the most popular form in which tobacco is used. A good cigarette certainly gives men and women a lot of pleasure. Have a Chesterfield— For one thing—they’re milder. For another thing—they taste better.
