disclosed that for several years he has been collecting material for a “book on the causes and responsibility for World War II, which I anticipate writing, let the chips fall where they may.” The book, he said, will be written “in defense of 100,000,000 Americans non-interventionists before Pearl Harbor, whose predictions have been verified by time and history.” His speech and the book are expected to bid strongly for countrywide support of the new “nationalist” movement and the growing number of newly-released veterans. Fish has already begun campaigning for the demobilization of all selectees immediately after “hostilities end in Germany and Japan.” The policing of Europe or the Orient would be a ‘kind of militarized WPA all over the world.” Fish pointed out to his Washington friends recently. This is the first indication of future strategy to be disclosed by fcny of the isolationist Congressmen defeated on Nov. 7. This is Ihe first tip the liberals have had of the political activity with which nny of these super patriots plan their comeback. Fish particularly is the isolationist to watch. He is the best publicist of the disgruntled and belligerent batch of lame ducks. He has a Barnum-like flair for exploitation. When some G. O. P. leaders talked of running Fish for President in 1936, it was said that if he emerged with more newspaper clippings than votes he would feel amply rewarded. Still Controls Committees The isolationist politicians know this, the rabble ronser know this too—and are watching him closely for easy lessons on a comeback campaign. Fish wasted little time in planning his comeback. He still controls the G.O.P. committees in his Congressional district. His friends believe that by cleverly exploiting the soldiers’ desire to get out of uniform quickly and by claiming that the civil strife in Europe is a complete vindication of his isolationism, Fish can defeat Congressman-elect August W. Bennet in the 1946 G.O.P. primary. Also, Fish expects the Democrats to nominate their own candidate that year instead of backing Bennet who has announced that he will sit in Congress as a regular Republican. This hasn’t pleased the Democrats in the Hudson Valley district. Nor do they plan to sit by and campaign for Bennet if he becomes part of Governor Dewey’s machine. To Nationalist Network Ham Fish undoubtedly will have all this in mind when he delivers his swan song. And Fish isn’t worried by* the possibility that the House floor may be empty. He will not be talking so much to his fellow Representatives as to the nationalist network—which he knows how to reach via the unlimited Congressional franking system. It did yeoman work for him in •the pre-war days when he was on speaking terms with high Nazi officials and Jap agents. JENNEnVBTE IS QUESTIONED

WOULD ABOLISH ELECTION BOARD

State Election Committee Recommends Change In Law

Indianapolis, I n d. — Abolition of the present Indiana election board, which was the storm center of an election-eve political controversy Nov. 6, was recommended today by the state election codification commission established by the 1943 Ceneral As-

sembly.

The commission proposed to the state legislature that a new threeman election board, with complete powers over the election, he established. The new board would not have the governor sitting as ex-officio member, as does the present board. The state’s chief executive, hoAvever, would retain his power to appoint the board. Chairman Will H. Adams of the codification commission and members Ira Dixon and Edward P. Eisner recommended that the state chairman of each major party nominate one member to the proposed election board and that the governor appoint one “public member.” Authority of this proposed board should be complete, the commission believed, in order to eliminate such countermanding of orders to county election boards such as resulted in the election-eve flareup that found Attorney General

their names did not appear on precinct lists. Another major election law change advocated by the codification commission was central counting of ballots which would tend to delay unofficial returns as much as two or three days after the balloting. The commission recommended that ballots should be delivered to the central counting room at 8 a. m., the day following election and that if the count and canvass were not completed by 6 p. m., that day, the county should be halted until 8 a. m., of the following day. The codincation proposals would repeal 135 of the present SOI acts controlling Indiana election machinery. Several of the acts proposed for repeal date back to 1852. HAM FISH WILL SING SWAN SONG Isolationist En Route Out In Loud Blast Against Internationalism

By VICTOR RIESEL Another of the mythical firm of Martin, Barton and Fish is about to leave Congress with considerable noise. This time it is Representative Ham Fish—he has promised to make his farewell speech a loud blast against the internationalists and those who helped

Senator Bill Jenner of Indiana gave an interview in Washington last week, in which he declared that returning servicemen are going to be “the greatest exponents of free enterprise you ever saw.” Then he went to the Senate floor and cast his first roll call vote in favor of the Bailey amendment to the flood control bill. The amendment wis intended to give private power companies an exclusive priority to purchase electricity generated at new federal power pro-

jects.

Is / special privilege for monopoly what Bill Jenner means by free enterprise? If so, the young senator, sent to Washington for the short term shortly after his return from military service, has much to learn, both about free enterprise and about the aspirations of the American people. Fortunately the Bailey amendment was defeated. The people’s right to enjoy maximum benefits from cheap power produced at their own expense on streams which belong to them was sustained. But the Chicago area of the Middle West has something to think about in the fact that five of its senators—Brooks, Jenner, Vandenberg, Wiley and Willis (all Republicans) — voted to deliver this priceless heritage to the private power monopolies which have so long exploited the people. The Middle West, like America at large, wants to maintain an economic system based upon the principle of private initiative. But the Middle West is being misrepresented when that position is translated as a license for private monopolies to exclude the public from control of their own resources. Private power companies have a long history of exorbitant rates, sharp financial practices, subversion of newspapers and legislatures, interference with the public’s right to develop natural resources. Widespread expansion of public power and the tightening of regulation, during the New Deal, have curbed some of the industry’s worst evils. But the monopolists have never ceased

WARTIME HOMEMAKER

TRY A NEW "MAKE-UP” FOR SALADS By the HOMEMAKING SPECIALISTS of the General Electric Consumers Institute Garden-fresh vegetables plus ingredients for salad dressings and a dash of pioneer spirit in putting them together adds up to zestful eating and a new slant on salads appreciated by all members of the family. Too many times salad dressings are like favored cake recipes : with our iminds and hands 'busy with myriad other affairs, we turn to the familiar, easy-to-prepare foods instead of trying new ones which will excite the palate and add zest to meals. The General Electric Consumers Institute staff thought the readers of this column might welcome some of their tested recipes for salad dressings which give a new "make-up” to tossed greens, mixed vegetables, shredded cabbage, etc. Sweet Sour Bacon Dressing Dice and fry 5 slices bacon Add Vi tsp. pepper A tsp. paprika J4 tsp. salt V4 tsp. dry mustard 3 tbsp. vinegar 1 tbsp. sugar 4 tbsp. boiling water Cover and cook over low heat for a few \ minutes.

The very planes which bombed Tokyo are a tribute to the New Deal’s policy; they were made possible by our vast output of aluminum, in turn made possible by the vast expansion of public power. There is no vested right of utility corporations to keep the generation and sale of electricity to themselves. There is an overpowering public interest in the public development and control of all water resources. The senators who supported the Bailey amend ment were upholding the first. The people uphold the second. Bill Jenner, who is young enough to learn, should mark that down as hiar first lesson.

Many Papers Omit Full Digest Of Remarks Of N. Y. Columnist Walter Winchell’s column failed to appear yesterday in its Chicago and New York outlets, the Herald American and the Daily Mirror, after he had told, his Sunday night radio audience that the column, a denunciation of the British policy in Greece, Belgium and Italy, was the “most serious” he had ever submitted to his publishers. Addressing the people of Great Britain in the column, Winchell expressed doubt that the “reactionary” policies of the government speak for them. A digest of Winchell’s column follows: There can never be honest friendship without honest understanding—and there can never be honest understanding without an honest statement of differences. . . . . The people of the United States are aware of the deepest differences between our governments in 150 years . . . The people of the United States overwhelmingly back the position of President Roosevelt—indeed by a much greater majority than we showed in the election. That is because, and only because, they think him right ... If the British government is effecting your will it may mean the end of our friendship . . . Earlier Statements Recalled Your prime minister and your radio daily told the peoples of Europe that your only wish was that they should be free . . . We —both of us—accepted the aid that these people gave us—underwritten with their blood . . . Why then did you send in your British tanks to surround the House of Deputies in Brussels? . . . How would you like it if Belgian tanks were to surround the House of

Parliament?

Why did you of- the beaches, in the towns andjanating from Republican

you |

fer British troops to disarm gian patriots—people whom called noble allies only a month before? . . . Frankly, we feel your government must answer before history for breaking its word to

the Belgians.

Admits U. S. Mistake In France Gen De Gaulle has raised the hopes and respect of his great people. But let us face it: To do that he had to defeat the reactionary diplomats of both Washington and London . . . America made a great mistake about the French people. It will never make that mistake about another . . . but your government continues to favor the collaborationists . . . In Spain your government’s representative, Samuel Hoare, the same man who tried to give Ethiopia to Mussolini—and who was a Munichman—gaye outright support to Franco . . . don’t you know that not only Spanish but British and American blood is on his hands? . . . Why, then, did your prime minister publicly endorse him a few rponths ago? ... Lashes at Italian Royalty The Italians say—and our government and people believe—that your policy is intended to weaken and impoverish the Italian people, contrary to your promises and ours. Your prime minister is reported as insisting on the degenerate house of Savoy—Anathema to the decent Italian people who saw it allied with Mussolini . . . has Mr. Churchill returned to his early sympathetic writings about the fascist movement in Italy? All of these policies are of the same ignominious pattern—but in Greece, to be frank, we believe your -government has stained it

with blood.

Your government has reminded Athens of what she owes us—but poor indeed is any man or any government which feels that it owes Athens nothing . . . You, as a people were ready to fight on

Bel-(from the hills for your country.

. . . What is wrong about a Greek loving Greece as much as an Englishman loves England? Examples of Policy Seen From Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Iraq and Ethiopia—the list is large—Americans bring back the same story. No Atlantic Charter, no self-determination, proEnglish Quisling-like governments —effected at the point of British arms . . . Rightly or wrongly, the American people believe this is the policy of your government— and they are against it . . . They are determined to fight Hitler to the finish, but they will not see an English reactionary program substituted for a German one. Cites Alternatives This is a fateful hour—and the decision is with you, the British people . . . We state without reservation that every resource at our command is with you to continue the battle of liberation . . . But if your policy is the reactionary one of your government, you must go your way alone. We believe the path of reaction to be the way of transgressor— and we are unwilling that our sons and daughters stand before the peoples of the earth as their oppressors . . . Our decision is made, finally and irrevocably. To do otherwise, we feel, would fix upon us the possible blame for losing this war and the certain guilt of starting the next one ... As in 1940 the world hung upon the courage of Great Britain’s common people, in 1944 it awaits—and believes—in the verdict of their conscience,—Chicago Sun. Our Press Is Killian Job Claim Fires Ralph Gates Current political reports, em-

state

headquarters, have it. that Gov. ernor-elect Ralph F. Gates is very much disturbed at what some of his associates describe as a “breach of faith” on the part of Mayor Austin R. Killian, of Lafay-

ette.

Last week-end Mr. Gates made it quite plain that he would make no appointments to state offices in his administration until after the legislature has adjourned. He strongly inferred that he had made no commitme-nts. But, Tuesday afternoon, Killian announced at Lafayette that he was to be the new head of the Indiana State Police Department and proceeded to outline, for publica Lion, his program as the head of the department. Mr. Gates, it was said, believes that it is a good idea to withhold appointments until the legislature adjourns. Prospective patronage plums, in this way could be held over the heads of legislators and county chairmen, to help hold Representatives and Senators in

line.

The Sentinel stated long before election that there were rumors, with considerable support, that Killian had bsen promised the state police job by Gates, and that the promise was made before the G. O. P. state convention for the apparent purpose of gaining support for Gates from Tippecanoe county. Gates, of course, denied that he had made any job promises. Killian, in view of his own announcement, apparently differs with Gates as to whether or not job promises were made.
