1 OPPOSITE VIEWS ON INDIANA LAY Gowrmor's Whiskey Action Praised, Also Condemned | New York, May 256 (UP)—The law ot Indiana forbidding the use of iquor for medicinal purposes met soth praise and criticism In New York today. The law was brought to public attention by a letter to Governor E Jackson ‘ot Indiana from Arthur L. Gilliom, attorney general of that| state. Gilliom said the governor and himself both had violated the law in the last 18 months to save | members of their families “Dmi death after physicans prescribed whiskey. “Both the governor and the at | torney general did wrong,” the Rev. John Roach Straton, fundamentalist leader, said. “They should have permitted the members of their families to die and have died them- selves rather than violate their oaths of office. An officer of the law swears to support the law, and his family interests should not cut the slightest filgure once he has taken' the oath. “I challenge the whole proposi- tion of liquor for healing. Those who read their Bible know that God has promised to healy Mrs. Straton and myself have raised five healthy children without the use of a sir gle bit of whiskey. But granting that whiskey has some curative value, the law in Indifna bas saved €0 many more lives than have been lost through it that the balance is all on its side.” Opposite View The Rev. Guy Emory Shipler, edi- tor of the Churchman, leading lib- cral organ of the Episcopal church, disngreed with Rev. Straton. “The law that takes out of the hands of scientific and medical men an instrument for the saving of hu- man life, is, in my opinion, both stupid and vicious,” Rev. Shipper said. The governor and attorney gener: were justified, Dr. Nich Mur Butler, president of Columbia uni- versity, said. He cited his speech ! in Baltimore May 5 condemning the cighteenth amendment as “the prim- ary source of the lawlessness and | contempt for law that now prevails | throughout the land.” | Representative La Guardia of New | York said the governor and attor- ney general should be indicted. “This would show several well- || meaning people how ridiculous such a law as the Indiana statue is,” he said. | The Rev. Christian F. prominent dry, said: “If it really was a matter of life and death no law should stand in| the way of procuring liquor.” | Relsner, | Golf Versus Tennis Now Subject of Speculation London, May 25 (®—Gossip about Helen Wills turning from tennis to golt has aroused keen discussion in| England as to the qualities of the two games, Experts agree that ten- nis players often become good golf- crs, but that good golfcrs rarely make thelr mark in the tennis world. | For example, it is pointed out that tfe late Doherty Brothers, highly successful on the tennis courts, | turned to golf and in a couple of | years one of them played from two | City liems Thomas Rozanski of 83 Orange 1eported that the motormeter was stolen off his car as it was parked near the Rialto hall on Broad street last night.

Jones, who has been twice elected to the post of commander-in-chief, has assured the local committee that he will appear on that day and jthe committee feels itself fortunate in obtaining the services of the well known ofticial. Jones was first elected to the of- fice of senior vice-commander and was called upon to serve as com- mander-in-chief upon the death of his superior. Upon the expiration of his first term in that office, he was unanimously reelected to the of- fice. He states that, although he had planned to attend the annual ncampment of the Illinois state de- partment, he would cancel his plans in order to attend the local exercises. Jones has twice visited this city on previous occasions of state depart- ment‘encampments held here. The committee has announced that the plans for the dedication progressing rapidly. The bronze tablets bearing the names of the veterans from this city who served in the Spanish- American war are expected to ar- rive next week and will soon be placed in position on the shaft of the monument.

George Westerman began playing the violin in public at quite an early age, and it has been clear to every- one who has watched his progress that he has been gaining rapidly. In the past few years he has been one of the most popular of local violin- | ists, and in spite of his years—he | is only 19—he has charmed innum- erable listeners. He studied with Herbert A. Anderson, who has been grooming /him for the contest which terminated last -night. A year or so ago he also began teaching. Be- lieving it desirable that musicians, regardless of the instrument they might be playing, should also study piano and harmony, in order to at- tain a more thorough knowledge of the art, he has also studied these two subjects with Theron W. Hart. ‘Westerman has been a valued member of the New Britain Musical club, has played in quartets spon- sored by that organization, and has been a member of the newly formed ensemble of the club. “Oh, I am so glad!"” ejaculated his mother, Mrs. George W. Westerman, 16 Carmel street, when informed of her son’s success today. “I hardly know what to say, I am so overjoy- ed. George has worked hard for success with his violin and I am pleased beyond werds at him win- ning the contest.”” “I don’t know what to say, I am 50 pleased,” said .the father of the boy. “I certainly am proud of him, and I know he will do his best in New York and be a credit to New Britain.” It was less than a year ago that | ___—.__-_'___= PINEDO BELIEVED NEARING AZORES Daring Flier Himsell Is Said to B¢ Uninjured New York, May 25 (F—Uhinjured despite hs forced landing in mid- Atlantic during his 1,600 mile jump from Trepassey,-N.
