Section *Unworkable, . Declares Ettinger, Chairman on Legislation.
BY NOBLE REED Changes in" Indiana’s election and registration laws are expected to be recommended by the State
County Clerks’ Association when it convenes at the Claypool Hotel Dec. 1. Charles Ettinger, deputy Marion County clerk, and association legislative committee chairman, said a thorough study has been made of the practicability of the laws passed by the 1935 General A Assembly. “We have found that the candidates’ slate law, while good in its intention, has not proven workable,” he said. “It leaves too many loopholes for certain political groups to put out spurious slates for the purpose of ‘shaking down’ candidates for contributions.” Mr. Ettinger said the association committee might recommend that the law be repealed, or amended.
Stronger Law May Be Asked
Committee members also are expected to urge that the candidates’ petition law, passed in 1935, be strengthened, Mr. Ettinger said. “I think the law should : require petitions of candidates to have more signers on them in order to further cut down the number of persons getting into primary election races,” he said. The registration law needs some modifications and clarifications’ to make it more workable, Mr. Ettinger said. “We haven't completed our investigations of the law but we expect to have a report ready by convention time,” he added.!
Co-operation Is Promised He said the clerks’ association ill... co-operate with sindiana League of Women’s- Voters ih rec-, ommendifig Manges in the laws: The league has ministration. of the registration laws for several months and is expected to have a report ready . for the next Genéral Assembly if the issue is/raised.

Police. And Arrest: 56 Pickets
5. 3 By United Press : READING, Pa. Nov: Fifty-six pickets, women, were gassed by police and arrested today for lying in the street at the main entrance to the Berkshire Mills. They said they were attempting by “non-violent resistance” to prevent workers from entering the mill, where a strike has been in progress since Oct. 1. A few workers jumped over the prone pickets, but most of them went around to other plant entrances. Squads of police used tear gas to disperse the pickets, then rounded up several patrol wagon loads and ' took them to court.
URGES FEDERAL LAW ON DIVORCE
Jurist Addresses Social Work Conference Session Here.
30.—
Enactment of Federal {iniform divorce law and Federal child aban--donment laws was advocated at the Indiana Conference on Social Work here today. Superior. Court Judge Benjamin E. Buente, Evansville, told an audience of prominent Indiana judges that “because, ‘upon the stability of the home rests the welfare of nation and because more than 100,000 children annually are involved in American divorces, Congress should authorize a commission to study a uniform divorce law. He also said that to aid the state and society generally, “Congress should pass a law making it a Fed-
eral offense for persons upon whom
rests the obligation to support minor children to cross state lines, abandoning the children without making reasonable provision for their support.” : 2000 at Conference

Minister Stanley Baldwin has in-
formed King Edward he can expect no support from government or Parliament. for a possible marriage - to Mrs, Wallis Simpson. This is reliably understood to be the result of two dramatic secret meetings which Baldwin had Fri-
day, shortly after a surprise cabinet
meeting. The first meeting was with Clement Atlee, Labor Party leader; the second with the King. The government viewed the situation as so delicate that all reference to Baldwin’s visit to the King was ‘omitted from the court circular, ‘which customarily records; such visits automatically. It was understood that Baldwin’s meeting with Atlee established a common front of Conservative and Labor parties on their attitude to-
King and Mrs. Simpson, and left no doubt that the friendship had pre-

South American Powers|| Determined to Put Ban on Wars.
(Copyright, 1036, by United Press) South American - powers are as determined as the United States to banish war from this. hemisphere, and believe President Roosevelt's trip to Buenos Aires will accomplish that purpose. In dispatches written exclusively for the United Press, heads of governments and political leaders of the southern continent expressed today a unanimity of opinion that the Inter-American Conference opening tomorrow will succeed in
substituting arbitration for armed conflict. Their dispatches follow:
