Foreign wars and problems of peace at home are jolting President Roosevelt's economy plans and forewarning discerning tax payers that Federal deficits may have been underestimated again, One economy plug was driven in a treasury leak this week when House and Senate conferees on the crop surplus control bill agreed to limit expenditure for the next fiscal year to what the current soil conservas tion program costs,

Senatorial Election Apparently Discounted in Advance, Commentator & Says.

Timex Special Writer

EPUBLICAN hopes in Indiana Republ advance--very privately of coursevanNuys, Demecrat, the dominant Democratic faction, House. more this year, A tip-off on the chances as seen by Repubilcans themselves is found in the case of Charles Halleck, the solitary Indiana Republiean in Congress. He is an up-and-coming youngster of 37, one of the few newer Republicans who are regarded as having something on the ball, National Chairman John Hamilton has been much taken with him, Rep. Halleck is the natural man to run for the Senate this year, His district was carried by Roose velt in 1036 but Mr, Halleck was ve-elected, In 1036 he was elected to Congress for the first time in a special election in whichsthe Me= Nutt Democratic organization threw the whole State House mas« chine into the fight in a deter= mined effort to give Indiana an all-Democratie delegation in Conegress, But Mr. Halleck is too smart to give up a sure seat in the House for an almost hopless long-shot at the Senate, $ 4 «

N contrast to this is the sit« uation of former Senator James BE. Watson, once Republican leader of the Senate, ho was a national political figu before the majority of presente day newspaper readers were oul of rompers, He was beaten in 1032 by Senator VanNuys. He wants to run again. He has been nosing around the state parading his lightning-rod.

The fact is that although Ine diana Republicans have for years been engaged in a feud between Watson and anti-Watson factions now reportedly are looking over several new and not very familiar names, The Republicans hope for a spite victory by Senator Vane Nuys over the McNutt machine, which is expected to nominate Samuel Jackson, Ft. Wayne ate totney. y 4 # F Senator VanNuys runs as an Independent, as he threatens to do, he will be able to count on a considerable number of prominent Republican citizens voting for him, in memory of the court fight, Organization Republicans, however, probably will refuse to support him, Republicans have their knives sharpened hopefully for these Democratic congressional scalps, Rep. Glenn Griswold, Fifth Distriet; Mrs, Virginia Jenckes, Sixth District; Finley H. Gray, Tenth District. There also is a faint flutter of hope over the Third District, where James J. Pettengill, anti-New Deal Democrat, is retiring from Congress to the less hazardous pursuit of law, It all looks like pretty feeble stuff, Former Governor McNutt and Frank McHale, the Indiana Farley, have a well-greased political machine with a New Deal

ness curve suddenly would become a straight line if stock trading were abolished. But he does believe that in the past there has been a vicious cirele of accentuation, whereby stock quotations, supposedly a business selsmograph, have exaggerated the {rue pleture and then pulled business farther up or down after them —largely because those quotations are set in a center of speculation and then flashed throughout the nation for investors and producers and consumers to ponder and, invariably, act upon.” Mr. Rodell forecasts several of Mr, Douglas’ reforms wili be achieved, One of them--regulation of short-selling—has been ordered by the SEC since the article was written, Possible Reforms Listed

Possible reforms listed by Mr. Rodell may be summarized as follows: Reorganization of the Stock Exchange: This might include (1) wu reduction in membership, (2) a requirement that partners of members become ‘associate members,” to bring them under exchange rules and discipline, (3) management of the exchange by a paid none member president and other paid nonmember officers, Margin trading: While various New Dealers, including some in the SEC personnel, favor abolition of margin trading, or a sliding scale of margins to fluctuate as the market rises and falls, Mr, Rodell suggests introduction of a rule requiring a minimum deposit of, say, $2000 or $3000 for all margin accounts, Floor trading: While there is strong sentiment within the -B8EC for abolishing floor traders —- the real inside gamblers — it is more probable that they would be forbid 7 to initiate personal orders, Thus they could buy for their own account only when stock was of fered for sale, and sell only when a bid for stock was made. Specialists: Operators who act in a dual role of agents and actual traders in the same stocks long have been the target of attack, While some would abolish the specialist entirely, a more likely step would be segregation of his activities, which would prevent his trading in his own specialties, Other suggested reforms would

Just what that means, he said, is illustrated by the pending Rankin bill, which would put widows and orphans of World War veterans on an equal footing with those of the veterans of other wars, Legion officials were to appear in suppott of the bill today before the House Committee on World War Veterans’ legislation, whose chairman, Rep.

said sue h , examinations ‘might ultie mately lead to a reduction in the divorce rate, Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan already have “hygienic marriage laws.” To evade these statutes, nu= merous couples came to Indiana to get licenses until a recent Indiana Supreme Court decision outlawed this practice, This decision and discovery of ‘child marriages” in Linton and Indianapolis focused public attention on the question, and resulted in the appointment of the committee, the Governor's ofe fice sald. Charles Kettleborough, State Leg {slative Reference Bureau director, now is studying legal requirements for marriage in other states, includ« ing statutes specifying a delay be= tween the issuance of the license and performance of the marriage ceremony, Dr. Harvey sald if his proposals were written into law, a corollary act would have to be drafted to give tha State Health Board the right to regulate and approve all private laboratories. The type of physical examination given, Dr, Harvey sald, would depend entirely on the judgment of the physician with the exception that blood tests for venereal disease would have to be taken, If persons were able to pay for these tests, blood specimens would be sent to private laboratories, where the charge usually averages $1, he sald, Otherwise tests would be made in the State's laboratories, Pre-marriage tests by private phye slelans would assure the protection of the reputations of persons with venereal diseases, Dr, Harvey said. “This would place these examinae tions on strictly a doctor-patient re« lationship of confidence,” he de« declared,

Public in Wisconsin

“The Wisconsin system is differ ent in that blood tests there are filed with the State Psychiatric Institute, and are almost a matter of public record.” Dr, Harvey said that under his plan, if a person passes the exame ination, he would be allowed to se cure a marriage certificate, while if he fairls “it would be his duty to get out of his engagement as best he can.” To be successful, the examination system should be simple, he asserted, gince other moral problems would arise if marriage is made too diffi cult, There are no complete figures on the amount of syphilis infection in this state, he said, although statis tics at one Indiana clinic show that eight and a half out of every 100 expectant mothers are infected, “Examinations by private physielans would make it convenient for couples to discuss marriage problems with their doctors, before they take this important step,” Dr. Harvey said. “Mistakes through ignorance could be avoided, Such a system would give us an entirely new theory in human relationships. 1 think a bet« ter understanding of marriage problems probably would reduce divorce rates.” The committee is composed of physicians, attorneys, clergymen, social workers, clubwomen, judges, civic and educational leaders and State officials. Its first meeting is to be held at noon Wednesday—National Social Hygiene Day-—at the Indianapolis Athletic Club. Governor Townsend Is to be host.
