Progressive Parly Names Slate Ticket , Full-Scale Campaign t Planned In Indiana Indianapolis. June 14—(UP)— I Walter Frisbie. a former state sec- ' retary of the CIO. today headed the ' new Progressive party ticket aa a I candidate for governor and Henry ' Wallace supporters promised a 1 full-scale third party campaign In 1 Indiana thia fall The 35-year-old Frishie and aev- 1 en other state office candidates were chosen at the party's "found- I ing” convention yesterday. They ( were “nominated” by acclamation and most of the five-hour session was spent in quibbling about the I new party's platform. Friable, a militant Libor leader who served six years as a topi state CIO official, predicted the Progressives would surprise the Democrats and Republicans in Indiana this fall. "I aceptud the nomination with some reluctance." he said, "because I knew many felt we would urge just a token campaign." Frisbie. now a field representative of the CIO United Electrical, radio, aud machine workers, said "we are in this to win. Hundreds of thousands will be in. it with tu." Frishle was defeated at the 1947 CIO election in a factional dispute after he was accused of belonging to a leftist group in the organization. Actually. Frishle and the other seven candidates were selected to be nominated by petition. State law requires that petitions bearing 8.841 signatures, or one percent of the total vote in 1948 (or the secretary of state, be presented before the candidate's names are placed on the state ballot. Friable, who was also elected state chairman, said petitions would be circulated next week and that "far more than enough signatures'* would be ot.tained Mrs. Jessica Rhine, secretary of the now defunct Indiana citizens for Wallace and director of the new Progressive party, said the party symbol on the ballot wouid be a flaming torch. As Frisbie's running mate, the convention chose Charles Rohrer, a colorful 47-year-old North Man Chester dairy farmer. Rohrer has waged what he terms a “one-man war for peace’ in three trips to Europe and tosrs of the nation, discussing peace with world leaders. He ones “crashed" Russian headquarters at United Nations. Lake Success, to talk with Soviet leaders The other candidates the party hopes to nominate were William Kok. Whiling, an ot! firm engineer for secretary ot state; Oliver Switzer. South Bend attorney, for attorney general. Ray Minton. Evansville, former treasurer of the Vanderburgh young Democratic club, for state treasurer; Edna Joh mob. Indianapolis, the lone negro on the slate, and a former Indianapolis chapter president of the national aa»<>ctaUon for the advancement of colored people, for auditor of state: Herman Meteey. Fort Wayne school teacker. for ewpertntesdeat of public inatnicUon: aud Gertrude Toasta.

Social Security Accounts Needed Advises Workers To Obtain Cards AU workers who are employed or expect to he employed tn any of the canning factories in and around Decatur should have social security account numbers before beginning work, according lo Christian H. W. Luecke. manager of the Fort Wayne so< ial security office. “While the work in the canning industry is usuaiy seasonal, every person employed In thia type of work must have a social security account number.” Mr Luecke said. “Many employers demand an account number from all naw workers., so that those who plan to work in this type of job will save time and will perhaps get a job more quickly by obtaining their numbers in advance. ‘ Employers are required to report the wages paid each employe, his name arid account number when sending their tax reports to the collector each quarter year. In order to make sure that these wages are properly credited to tho Individual workers ledger account kept by our records division, each employe should be sure Io give his employ* er his name and account number just as shown on his card. You see, these individula wage records are the basis of all future benefit payments to workers and their families under old age and survivors insurance." 'Yoar local post master can furnish you with the application blank used In obtaining an account number or you can obtain them at our office in the Federal Building. Fort Wayne We Issue account numbers immediateiy U> those who call at our office or return them by mail fr received in this manner." Mr. Luecke added “if you have lost your original <ard, use the same application blank aad note on it that you have ioei your original card’ Mr." Laeeke said*. “If you know the number of your oi-igiaai card give us this number whe-u applying tor a duplicate * Since World War I. increasing term mechanization has freed 55.009.000 scree formerly devoted to growing teed for horses and multes and saads them available for production ot human food and fiber, according to scientists at the Graham-Paixe experimental farm in York.

Roy Stockton; CAB HAGE HOLIDAY by \tithonv Thorne; THE WIRE CAGE by John Dickson Can; WILD JUSTICE l>y Alan l*eMay. Book Notes THE LATEST In b..ok film tie ups is lhe "background book," written specifically for the reader's greater enjoyment of films on the same subject. RKO Pictures is trying the idea In the belief that background books will refrsah the movie fan's memory of historic events. The book will not be the Mme as the story of the film but will deal with the same historic period and characters. The first author commissioned for the work Is Frances Wlhwar who is rewrltting her story of Joan of Arc, "The Saint and the Devil,” as background for an Ingrid Bergman film about the French Saint. Miss Winwar's liook was selected from among many others on Joan because it is a detailed study of the period as well as the character. The revised Winwar story will be published as a Bantam Book and will be released simultaneously with the showing of the film. A color photograph of Ingrid Bergman as Joan will appear on the book's cover. The reprint editiou of THE HUCKSTERS represents the publisher's plan to capitalize off the movie's failure. It was at the time that the book was enjoying such a spectacular success In the hard cover edition that Bantam Books, the reprint house, entered into a contract to bring out its edition. Then last
