State Board of Directors’ Meeting Lauds Lake County Prosecutor for Fight Against ‘Marriage Mill’ Problem.

By VIRGINIA MOORHEAD MANNON The Indiana League of Women Voters is congratulat-

‘ing Fred A. Egan, Lake County prosecutor, today “for his courageous stand” in fighting the Indiana “marriage mill” - problem. A letter was sent to Mr. Egan by the League's “board of directors, meeting in the Columbia Club yester-

day. Mrs. Paul V. Ford, Kokomo, chairman of the department of government and legal status of women, expressed gratification over the recent Indiana Supreme Court decision upholding the 1852 law requiring that marriage licenses be issued only in the county in which the prospective bride is a resident. . Mrs. Ford recently completed a study of comparative marriage “and divorce statistics in Indiana over a 10-year. period, which has been distributed to local leagues. The study reveals the disproportionate number of marriage licenses issued in counties bordering on states having more stringent marriage laws, she said. Mrs. Ford also is author of a Lieague publication on “Marriage License Requirements in the 48 States.” ath Miss Helen Horr, Minnesota League of Women Voters organization secretary, is to come to Indiana for organization work March 7 to 25, Mrs. S. N. Campbell, League president, announced. Miss Horr's visits to local leagues will be arranged by Mrs. Frances Baker Ross, Danville, extension chairman. » » = 2 2 2

The Misener cup for excellent work in the department of government and its operation will be awarded to the League conducting the best “Know Your County” survey. The award is to be made at . the state league convention May 17 to 19 in Indianapolis, Mrs. Rich“ard Edwards, Peru, department chairman, announced. Mrs. Walter S. Greenough, chairman of the department of government and its operation of the National League of Women Voters, _ clarified the League's position on Congressional legislation. The organizations efforts in the present session of Congress will be concentrated on opposition to the spoils system, on the issue of the McKellar vs. Ramspeck postmaster bill, together with activities in behalf of the reorganization and extension of the Federal Civil Service; control of food, drugs and cosmetics, and elimination of child labor, she said. “The League will continue to campaign actively for the Ramspeck Postmasters Bill which provides for appointment of postmasters without term as are other positions under the Civil Service Act; eliminates Senatorial confirmation, and makes postmasters subject to the Civil Service Act and rules. In addition it requires the incumbent to qualify by a noncompetitive examination conducted by the Civil Service Committee before he can be appointed subject to the Civil Service Act.” Senator VanNuys has expressed opposition to the McKellar Patronage Bill, but has not gone so far as to declare himself in be«half of the Ramspeck Bill, Mrs. Greenough said. Senator Minton has not committed himself.

Mrs. Leonard A. Smith, department of government and foreign policy chairman, announced that the organization is prepared to support measures providing executive discretion in the conduct of foreign policy in order to facilitate co-operative effort with other nations. Attempts to weaken the reciprocal trade agreement program will be opposed by the League. The National League's new kit on “The Collective Peace System” indicates how much is being said and how much is to be learned tabout the past, present and future of the world’s collective peace system and the relation of our foreign policy to it, Mrs. Smith said, The kit contains material for fresh study made in the light of international events of the last two or three years. She asked all groups to study it and make a contribution to the general summary of Indiana opinion that will be called for in a nation-wide report. “League study of the Far East has undoubtedly shown that foreign policy of the U. S. under such circumstances is in need of much intelligent discussion,” she said. The kit contains five basic documents on the collective peace system, 13 pamphlets and reports and two mimeographed “study tools.” It is to be used as a basis of the Indianapolis League's general meeting of the department of government and foreign policy at the Rauh Library in March. A critical study will be made at that time, Mrs. Smith said, of what peace machinery has aecomplished and what it has failed to accomplish up to this time. Mrs. Tristram Coffin, personnel campaign chairman, discussed the partially completed “patronage survey” being conducted by local leagues. Attending the meeting at which Mrs. Campbell presided were Masdames William Snethen, Thomas D. Sherrin, James Li. Murray, Clarence F. Merrell Sniith, Coffin, Greenough and Miss Mary Sinclair, Indianapoiis; Mesdames Frank Pennell and Ford, Kokomo; Mrs. sEdwards, Peru; Mrs. Charles Q. Erisman, Lafavette; Mesdames Charles N. Teetor, Ray C. Small, Lice Brannum and Clifford Foutz, Hagerstown; Mesdames Rex Van Tilbury, Joseph Graffis and A. M. Drompp, Diogansport; Mrs. A. L.
