Political News Apparently a number of Democratic county chairmen received recently an unsigned mimeographed sheet mailed near Indianapolis and purporting to contain the list of appointees to be named if Matt Welsh is elected governor. The sheet tied Welsh to McKinney, the Indianapolis banker who has been active in politics since the 1930’5. Actually, most of the fourth ’district is sympathetic to McKinney’s side, except for the Adams and Wells county organizations, which usually oppose McKinney, and appointees who favor McKinney. The sheet retiterated a number of well-known facts, including the fact that Alex Campbell of Fort Wayne is likely to be national committeeman from Indiana if the McKinney faction is successful. There are strong rumblings against the McKinney faction in the fourth district right now. One thing that many politicians have objected to—the sudden announcement of Byron McCammon, the school teacher and state representative, for congress from the fourth district. The announcement was made in such away as to indicate that all of the district officers favored him, and those who do not favor him were very much angered by the announcement It is quite possible that a strong candidate may yet announce, possibly one from Wells county. There is also a possibility that the Gates faction of the Republican party might run E. Ross Adair for the governor’s race against Crawford Parker. This would leave the congressional race in the fourth district, including Adams, Wells, Allen, Whitley, DeKalb, Noble, LaGrange, and Steuben counties, wide open. Hence, a number of Democrats and Republicans may be expected to announce. On the Adams county scene, a number of Democratic hopefuls are getting ready to announce in January or February for office. The incumbents, are expected in most cases to run for second terms, and will probably be unopposed. Most local interest hinges on the city contest, as yet undecided. The legal determination of the recount will begin December 28. It will be open to the public, and a large crowd will probably witness parts of the counting. It will certainly be interesting to see the legal determination of the validity of the disputed votes. Actually, more than 600 ballots could be disputed, since there were a number counted, and number uncounted, that one side or the other disagreed with. * <

Many Employ Some Type Birth Control

EDITOR’S NOTE' This is the second of three background dispatches on the current controversy ever birth control. It reports on the actual practices of American families, sad on legal restrictions. By LOUIS CAMELS United Press International WASHINGTON (UPB —A large majority of American families practice some form of birth control. That fact has long been obvious from the U.S. birth rate, which consistently remains far below •t kMaglaal maximum. It has been coaiirmed by study conducted jointly by the University of Michigan research center and the Scripps foundation for population research. The researchers interviewed 2,713 white married women between the ages of 18 and 39. Except for the fact that no Negroes were Included, the women interviewed were a scientifically-se-lected sample of the nation’s population, with all religious groups and economic brackets included in the right proportions The findings, recently published, show that 62 per cent of the women expressed “unqualified approval” of birth control, and an additional 12 per cent approved with some qualifications. Includes AU Faiths The initial question was so worded that all forms of birth control — including the “rhythm method” approved by the Catholic 0 20 Years Ago Today _ ——- o O' " Dec. 15, 1939—The Rev. Carey R. Moser, pastor of the Baptist church at Otego, N.Y., for the past four and one-half years, has been named pastor of the First Baptist church in Decatur. Decatur Masons have elected the following officers: Chester Mclntosh, worshipful master; John M. Doan, senior warden; Richard Myers, junior warden; Earl B. Adams, secretary; Floyd Acker, treasurer; Robert Krick, trustee. J. Ward Calland has returned from a business trip to Detroit for the Central Sugar Co. Awards and merit badges were conferred on a-large group of Boy Scouts during a court of honor held at the weekly meeting of the Decatur Rotary chib. Elmer Lord and Ralph Meier, of Fort'Wayne, will open a new meat market ft the Mutschler building on Monroe street. o - o Modern Etiquette By ROBERTA LEE I o —— o Q. Is it in good taste for me to share my dinner with my five-year-old girl, when dining in restaurants? A. Many ot today’s restaurants feature “children’s portions.” However, where these are not available, there certainly is no objection to your sharing your food with your little daughter. Q. Is it really considered proper for a man and his wife to kiss when meeting or leaving in public? A. There’s nothing at all wrong with this ,but be sure it’s a “public” kind of kiss. Long, tender kissing is better done in private.

Church—were included. The researchers then asked about the methods of birth control used. They found that standard com traceptive devices were used, occasionaly or exclusively, by 89 per cent of the Protestants and 96 per cent of the Jews who practice birth control. Whjle the rhythm method was most widely used among Catholic wives, the research team said that a "very significant” percentage of Catholics acknowledged regular or occasional use of contraceptives. The number who admitted using methods condemned by their church constituted 30 per cent of all the Catholic wives covered by the survey, and more than 50 per cent of the Catholic wives who had said they practiced some form of birth control. Although few Americans realize it, there is a federal law, still on the books, which makes it a crime to import, mail or transport in interstate commerce “any article for the prevention of conception.” This law is called the Comstock Act in hono of Vice Crusader Anthony Comstock, who pushed it through Congress in 1873. Many states adopted "little Comstock acts” during the same period, banning the manufacture or sale of contraceptives or the dispensing of birth control advice. Repeal All But 2 Enforcement of the federal law has been invalidated by a famous court decision rendered by Judge Learned Hand in 1936. AU but two of the state laws have been repealed. Connecticut and Massachusetts still have anti-contracep-tion laws. The Massachusetts law permits druggists to sell appliances “for the prevention of disease” and the state officially closes its eyes to the fact that these appliances can also be used o prevent conception. In Connecticut, however, the law forbids even the use of a contraceptive device. Dr. Alan F. Guttmacher, medical director of the Planned Parenthood Federation, commented recently that this law makes the citizens of Connecticut “the largest mass criminal populaion in America.” Several court cases are now pending to challenge the constitutionality of the Connecticut law, and one of them may reach the US. Supreme Court next year. NEXT: Researchers seek new "new Birth Control Methods.
