POST-DEMOCRAT, FRIDAY, JANUARY 29, 1943.

LOCAL (Continued From Page One) accord.” Before that same Committee, in October, 1941, Noble said, “I do not know why people should be shocked when we say we are for Germany and for Hitler. You know as I told you Germany has won the war and we might as well recognize the new older and the United States of Europe.” In unmistakable language Noble admitted here that he was for Hitler. He also showed his defeatist streak. He would persuade us that the Nazis are invincible—always until very recently, a favorite line with the Hitlerites. In their publication, Facts in Review, for May 26, 1941, the Nazis stated it this way, ‘‘Meanwhile, in Europe, Asia and Africa, the New World Order is cyrstallizing around the Three-Power Pact, that stroke of diplomacy which, coupled with German victories in the field, is changing the face of the old world.” Well—if, as the Nazis wish us to believe and as Noble wants us to believe, the Nazis are invincible, why fight? Why shed blood and destroy treasure in the vain effort to accomplish the impossible? Do you think that thoughts like that can impair the morale of our armed forces, or not? But Noble went even further. In a speech at Los Angeles on December 11, 1941—after Pearl Harbor—he said, “Our country has not been attacked. Japan has done a good job in the Pacific ... 1 believe this war is going to destroy America.” How do you like the morale-building effect of that statement? Among those also indicted is Court Asher of Muncie, Indiana. He is the publisher of a weekly newspaper, called • X : Ray, which seconded the cry of Garner’s Publicity that President Roosevelt should be impeached. On May 1, 1942, X-Ray was banned from the mails, on June 8, 1942, deprived of it Second-Class mailing permit. On December 13, 1941—after Pearl Harbor—Asher said, “It is now time for the New Deal Administration to realize that the safety and security of our own country must come first .... These tanks, pianes and supplies we have been giving Britain and Russia must be used to equip our own fighting forces.” The Nazis have a broadcasting station near Berlin called Station Debunk, which poses as an American one. It pours out N + azi propaganda from Berlin as Asher did from Indiana. Here is what Nazi Station Debunk, which poses as ah American station, told us on March 26, 1942. “We 'can protect our interests here at home if we at once stop sending more materials abroad.” The Nazis urge us to do nothing to help our allies. It is the old Nazi cry again of “divide and conquer,” and the purpose of it is to persuade America to render so little assistance to the common cause of the iJnited Nations that Hitler would have the opportunity to destroy his enemies one by one till we, in this country, would be without an ally in the work! and left alone to facfe later Nazi aggression in this hemisphere. This is the Nazi line. It is Asher’s line, too. Suppose the men of our fighting forces believe.it. Do you think that they would go willingly to the far corners of the earth to fight at the side of our allies against the common enemy? Do you think that propaganda like Asher’s and the Nazis’ is good for the morale of our fighting men? Do you think that, had we followed the advice of Asher and the Nazis, we should today, with the British, be on the fighting front in Airica, or, with the Australians, driving .back the Japanese in the Pacific, or that the Russians would even now be smashing the Nazi forces on the Eastern front? The Nazis are on the road to defeat, and they are there at this moment because we acted, under Mr. Roosevelt’s leadership, as a mem ber of the United Nations, precisely because we did not act according to the propaganda of the Nazis and men like Court Asher. A man named C. Leon DeAryan of San Diego, California, is another one of the 32 persons indicted by the Washington Grand Jury. On January 12, 1942, he said, “Why do our leaders dream dreams of conquest at our expense and never think of peace?” That Nazi radio station, called Debunk, which poses as an American station, put the same thought this way on June 11, 1942- “W T e accused the Axis of wanting to rule the world; when actually the New Dealers want to.” If this rubbish means unyhing it means that both DeAryan and and the Nazis want us to believe that we started the war for conjquest, that we provoked Hitler and forced him to fight. It is as good a way as any, for those interested, to absolve the Nazis of their criminal record, but it can hardly serve as a means for building up the morale of our armed forces. The Department of Justice has performed its. duty. It has indicted 33 persons for conspiracy to impair the morale of our armed forces. The Department of Justice deserves the gratitude and support of every American who wants to win the war against fascism now and save this country from its ideas, its policies, and its agents later. Some members of Congress, for reasons which they know best, are “engaged in an attempt to discredit the Department’s case against the alleged conspirators.” We must not remain silent. We do not have to. We should affirm our independence of action and take our responsibility for the welfare of this democracy by organizing meetings to support the Department of Justice and to combat the (efforts of those people who seek

to discredit what it has done with reference to the persons indicted. We should draw up .Resolutions stating our confidence in the integrity of the Department of Justice and urge it to proceed courageously against all in this country who would impair the morale of our armed forces. Each of us should write to Attorney-Genera) Biddle in Washington to assure him of our approval of his Department’s action. And now, and always, and everywhere we should learn to recognize fascists when we see them and gird ourselves for the battle in which they will surely be overcome. LEGISLATURE (Continued From Page One) Welfare Department, has been at work for over a week now and Chairman Roy flarrison (R. Attica) admits “that nothing worth a news story has been found.” ' This committee, which was created by a resolution passed by the G.O.P.-controlled legislature, has only until Sunday, under the terms of the resolution, to finish its investigation and make a report back to the legislature. Committee members admit privately that more time will have to be obtained, “if any facts are to be obtained.” The welfare department is under Demo-cratic-Controlled and appointment of an all-Republican committee to do the investigating makes the whole affair smell of partisan politics. * * * * While it has not received the party O.K. Republican State Auditor Richard T. James’ bill to take the store license division from the Democratic-controlled state tax board seems likely to make some headway. Just how much, only time will tell. Mr. James has been doing considerable lobbying for the measure and he reportedly has found many Republicans in the house, where the bill is at present, who are willing and anxious to grab the 15 jobs in the department. It will be interesting to see how far G.O. P. leaders, such as Lieut. Gov. Charles Dawson, who have openly placed themselves on record as being opposed to any patronage legislation, will let Mr. James’ bill get. * * * * One of the most humorous in cidents of the legislature occurred yesterday. Senator Harry Chamberlain (R. Indianapolis) introduced, at what he said was the request of Indianapolis city officials, all of whom are Republicans, a bill to increase their salaries from 25 to 100 per cent. Newspapermen in the senate immediately put in telephone calls to the Indianapolis city hall to determine the present salaries of these officials in order to calculate the amount of proposed increases. Word traveled around city hall like lightning and within 30 minutes Senator Chamberlain was called to the telephone by Sidney Miller, city corporation counsel, and told that the “bill wasn’t deemed to be a good one to be introduced at this time.” Senator Chamberlifi, who thus was made the goat fo the whole affair, immediately withdrew the measure. . Evidently, the Republican city officials wanted salary increases but somehow they thought the bill would escape the spotlight. This measure is only one of numerous salary increase bills that have been introduced by Republican legislators so far. And it is the only one that has been withdrawn. XXX Democratic Reps. Robert Heller and Matthew E. Welsh of Decatur and Vincennes respectively, have introduced a bill designed to strengthen Hoosier fire laws and possibly prevent repetition of a Boston fire disaster here. Their bill would prohibit any place of amusement or entertainment from operating except by obtaining a permit from the state fire marshal. Each violation would subject the operator of such a place to a fine of not to exceed $500 and a 90 day jail sentence. XXX G. O. P. party leade'rs still have their fingers crossed on local option. So far they have been able to keep this controversial bill from being introduced, but they don’t know' how much longer they can keep it down. Local option has them scared to death. They know that the minute such a measure is introduced, they will be right, in the middle. The “drys” back home will be on their necks as will the “wets” who are well organized. The easy way out for everyone concerned is not to have a local option bill introduced. So, they’re using all the pressure available to keep any member from going astray and introducing one. XXX Indianapolis, Jan. 28—The longsmouldering feud between Republican Lieut. Gov. Charles Dawson and G. O. P. members of the state fair board has broken into the open. Rep. Paul Moffett (R. Indianapolis) president of the state fa^ir board has introduced a bill to take control oi' the state fail* grounds from the lieutenant governor,. whefe it has been since the McNutt administration, and give it to the fair board. In his bill. Rep. Moffett has attempted to placate Mr. Dawson by providing that it shall not go into effect until Oct. 1944, after the last fair which can be held during Mr. Dawson’s term is over. The control of the fairgrounds by the lieutenant governor has in effect given him control df the fair since the fair board cannot do anything on the premises except with his consent. The effort to placate Mr. Dawson, however, is believed

to be doomed to failure. Tli6 lieutenant governor reportedly feels that the multi-million dollar state fairgrounds property should not be turned over to what he terms “ a closed corporation”. He uses that phrase for the fair board because the members of the board are elected by the breeders associations and their appointments by the governor is merely a formality. Mr. Dawson contends that the state, through the governor and the lieutenant governor acting as his chief representative, should keep control of the fair and that it should not be turned over to the representatives of the breeders’ associations. The fair board members argue that the bill will take the fair out of politics and the control of politicians. Anyway,'it looks like a good intra-G. O. P.

scrap.

Party lines dissolved in the hottest fight of the legislative session so far—that over the home rule constitutional amendment to give cities and towns the right to choose their own. form of government, city manager, etc. It was killed after Hoosier mayors brought all the pressure at their command to bear on the legislators. The measure, which had the support of numerous civic organizations, received support on the final roll call from the house Democratic leaders, Reps. Robert Heller of Decatur and Matthew Welsh of Vincennes. * * * Labor leaders evidently don’t like the Republican chairman of the important house labor committee, Rep. J. Otto Lee (R. Indiana-

polis).

Here’s what the state C. I. O. had to say about Rep. Lee in one of their legislative bulletins: “J. Otto Lee carries a union card. Chamber of Commerce should give him an honorary member-

ship.”

* * * As predicted by me last week, the Senate Judiciary A committee has taken no action on the bill introduced by Senator Samuel Johnson (R. Anderson) to launch an investigation into the personnel situation of the state police depart-

ment.

Senator Johnson thinks the department personnel is not being maintained on a 50-50 basis as provided by law but senate G. O. P. leaders are squelching his proposal because they know that Police Superintendent Don F. Stiver has been making the department 50-50 as rapidly as possible. And they know that the investigation would only tend to make a laughing stock of the investigators. Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 29 — If you’ve wondered why there have not been any newspaper accounts of “big” fights in the current session of the legislature, you may be Interested to know that thbre just haven’t been any. The honeymoon is still on, with the session due to reach the half-way mark next week. There have been a" few tiffJ* of course. But they were definitely of a minor character as compared to the political squabbles of former years. The Democrats minority has stuck by the constructive collaboration pledge made at the beginning of the session by its leaders. It has confined itself merely to fighting for party program measures and has done absolutely nothing to heckle the majority members just because the opportunity was present. Here are some figures which show how quiet the session has been: Of 62 measures which have been voted upon by roll call in the house and senate, 48 passed unanimously. And of the remaining 14 measures, two received only one “no” vote, one received two “noes” and two others received only five “noes” apiece. The big fight of the session so far* came on the home rule or city manager amendment to the constitution. The senate, which has 12 Democratic members, has been a model of unanimity, mustering a total of only 16 votes against 24 measure's, an average of ^-3 of a “no” vote per bill. The house, double the senate in size, has given more than 10 “no” votes to each of six measures, but against the remaking 31 measures a total of only six “noes” were recorded, of 1-5 of a “no” per bill, according to statistics compiled by the State Chamber of Commerce. No one knows, of course, how long this harmony will last. But. it can be truthfully said that the session has been harmonious to date. * ❖ * No local option bill has yet been introduced, but indications are that one will be. Legislators are being flooded with mail from thenhome counties asking them to support the introduction and enactment of a local option bill. There is enough similarity in the letters to suggest that there is ,a concerted letter-writing Campaign underway. Sometimes this is the most effective way to get legislators to vote a certain wayon a controversial measure. If a local option bill is introduced, what will be undoubtedly the most bitter fight of the session will ensue. xxx Jess Andrew (R. West Point), chairman of the powerful House ways and means committee wants to abolish the state clemency commission and give their duties to the institution boards of trustees. Here are some interesting figures on the work done by the clemency commission which would be transferred to already-overwork-ed trustees who receive only $300 per year. Since October. 1941, the three-member clemency 7 commission has been in session 67 days and heard a total of 1113 cases( of persons asking for clem-

ency.

Say States’Rights Must Be Protected Baltimore, Jan. 29-—The governor of Massachusetts and the governor of Nortlf Carolina have told 46 other governors that states’ rights must be protected, especially after the war. The two men warned the sixth general assembly of the council of state governments of the loss of basic rights. Said Republican governor Saltonstall of Massachusetts, “when peace is declared, Washington must again become the bridge of our ship of state—not the gun turrets, engine room and galley combined.” y Democratic governor Broughton of North Carolina admitted that one reason for government encroachment on the state’s domain was the failure of state governments to relieve the people’s suffering. “The best answer,” he said, “is to give the people better government through state agencies.” The states rights issue has been under general discussion, and a vigorous stand is expected to be taken today by the resolutions com-

mittee.

Akron, Indiana, Jan. 29- — Firstdegree charges have been filed against Mrs. Beatrice Dowling of Akron. She is accused of shooting Robert Hoffman, who sat in a penny-ante poker game with her husband and two friends. Authorities say Mrs. Dowling was aiming at her husband when, instead, Hoffman was hit with the blast from hef 12-gauge shotgun. Police say the incident was precipitated by Dowling’s refusal to leave the friendly poker game at the downtown Akron apartment of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Shively. — -o Legal Notice

ana senate rejected by one vote this afternoon a bill providing for the construction of a northern Indiana hospital for children suffering from infantile paralysis. The vote was 19 to 18 for the bill, but 26 votes were required for adop-

tion.

Republican Senator Charles Phelps of Fort Wayne introcfViced the measure, which involved an appropriation of $250,000 plus a $50,000 annual operating fund. The bill proposed that the hospital site be selected north of U. S. highway 30 by a bi-partisan eight-man committee. The vote came after a half hour Mriebafi^ Olfyllll! 1 W tHff bill dftf?' tered upon the probability that the appropriation would be frozen until priorities would permit construction of the institution.

The proposal applies to old-age assistance * recipients and to dependent children. Democratic Senator John Gcmas

In a report to congress, lendlease administrator Stettinius reveals that America has provided anti-axis nations with over 3-bil-lion 700-million dollars worth of military equipment since the program started in March of 1941.

Predict Forces to Be Over 10,000,000 Washington, Jan. 29. — Senator Chandler of Kentucky says the United States plans to have 10million, 420-thousand men and women in uniform by the end of this year. Chandler made that statement following a closed meeting of the Senate Militiary Affairs Committee, which is holding hearings on the over-all manpower situation. At today’s meeting, Navy officials told the committee they expect to have a total force of two million, 220-thousand in the navy, marine corps and coast guard at the end of 1943- Yesterday army officials told the senators that the army will total eight million, 200-thousand officers and men by the end of this year. Committee Chairman Reynolds says his group next will turn to the problem of supplying an army and navy of this size. Reynolds reveals that Food Administrator Wickard will testify before the group next week on the labor requirements of the nation’s farms.A Pennsylvania housewife scrapped a pancake griddle, made by one of her ancestors at his forge shortly after the Revolution.

, , . Newspaper Stock Seller Punished Dubuque, Iowa, Jan. 29.—Henry R. Gonner, 29, publisher of the Dubuque (Iowa) Tribune, suspended JTme 6 was sentenced to five years probation in Federal Court there Jan. 16 by Judge Gunnar H. Nordbye, after Gonner had pleaded guilty to charges involving his administration of the Daily Tribune. Gonner pleaded guilty to 12 counts of an indictment charging use of the mails in a scheme to defraud, and failure to register sale of securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Terms of the probation require Gonner to turn over to the government all personal assets, except salary, for the purpose of restitution. His assets, as reported to cdurt, include $4,000 in government bonds, $500 in cash, and equity in his home. The first part of the indictment charged Gonner with using the mails to persuade people to invest in a corporation that he knew was insolvent. It reproduced letters to individuals falsely representing the Daily Tribune and soliciting funds based on that misrepresentation. The second part charged that he had entered transactions coming under the jurisdiction of the Security Law, but had not registered his securities.
