April 9—(UP) —Governor Gates said today that - the operation of Indiana's schools. • penal institutions, and hospitals in - the face of soaring prices and > rapidly-increasing population was “the most perplexing problem" of t his administration. • The governor said Indiana might i be 10th in population among ( states by 1950 with 4.000.00<T pcr- - sons. He said Indiana's govern • rn« nt must he operated "as a big . business" to keep pace with this growth. In an address before the Indiana h state Chamber of Commerce here, the governor reviewed some of f the Hoosier state's other govern- . mental problems: t He said the problem of the ups keep of county roads and city f streets . . . “must he relieved” . . . by allocating mere money to local units of government. Construction and repair of roads must go forward. regardless of cost. K He said the stale-wide reassessment in 1949 must be made “on a g scientific basis” and with full recognition of the "dangers of a t 100 peroent valuation” of real 6 estate in these inflated tlmea. He suggested that "some amendments may be necessary to the state's compulsory arbitration law I for public utility workers although I the governor said the measure I "has been a great step toward I better management and labor reI latlons " I Speaking on "forty months of I progress." during his administration. the governor said he felt I that “we have met and are meeting the problems which confront us ...” he said "government is a big business and . . . must be operated on a sound financial basis •* • f Gates said that many of Indiana's institutions were "inadequate and obsolete" and "moot of them over-crowdW." He reviewed the uses of funds from the alcoholic beverage tax - supplied postwar j building fund. Including a new I children's hospital at South Bend. I and, additions to other hospitals I He said Indiana's health problem I was one that "will require increasj ed* i.ttentlon in the years to come.”' 9 The governor said that the 116 - 406.000 allocated to elites, towns aad'cvMinUoe for roads was ortgl- . nally made at a time when "the dollar was able to purchase more than now.” Gates made no mention of the income from the new state cigaret tax. part of which he has said previously he hopes to divert to the road problem, possibly by railing a special legislative session. I He did refer to propoeed legisI lation for a one-cent gasoline tax incrraie and IxMMitad* Mobm faaa I on trucks which failed to pass the I 6&th general assembly and intimated this was one cause of the financial plight of the local roads I now.

Burch Asks Direct Primary In State Asks Voters Given Direct Vote Right Indianapolis. Apr. 9 — (UP) — State auditor Alvin V. Burch today requested that a direct primary plank be inserted In the 1948 Republican state party platform. Burch, one of four candidates for the GOP nomination as governor. asked the Republican platform advisory committee to give Hoosier voters "the right to vote direct.” Burch put his request In a letter to committee chairman George Denny, former mavor of Indianapolis. The committee opens s two-day hearing on the party’s platform thia afternoon. Representatives of several state organizations were scheduled to appear liefore the committee to submit suggestions for platform planks which will be approved at the June 11 convention. Burch, who announced hie candidacy on a direct primary platform. asked that Hoosiers be given the same right for "direct representation at the ballot box" as residents of 44 other states. Burch has advocated selection of state office candidates at the polls rather than in party conventions? A direct primary hill lost out In the general assembly In 1947 sfter a bitter battle. The Democratic party's platform contained a direct primary plank in the last election. The league of women voters was the first group to be heard bv the committee this afternoon at 2:15.
