STATE 6. 0. P. DISTRICT HEADS TO BE SELECTED

Republican Committee Is Scheduled to Meet

Here Tomorrow.

Twenty members of the new Re-

publican State committee, which is |

to meet here tomorrow, were to be

selected this afternoon at party re- |

in 10 of dis-

organization conventions the State's 12 Congressional tricts. Chairmen and vice chairmen already have been chosen to represent the First and 12th Districts on the committee. Democrats, who also have chosen committee members in two districts, are to reorganize in the 10 others tomorrow afternoon. The

State Democratic Committee is to |

meet here Saturday. While Republican leaders predicted that about half of their state committee will be made up of newcomers, there apparently is no opposition thus far to the re-elec-tion of Arch N. Bobbitt as State chairman. One of the closely contested G. O.

P. district elections was that for the |

chairmanship in the ninth. Ivan C. Morgan, of Austin, former State chairman, was opposed for re-elec-tion by Dr. Burrell Diefendorf, Lawrence County chairman. Dr. Diefendorf is seeking the chairmanship on the contention that he carried his county for the party in the last two Democratic landslides. Another former state chairman, John C. Taylor, of Danville, was to be opposed for re-election as Sixth District chairman. Ralph F. Gates, of Columbia City,

who lost control of the State com--

mittee last December to Ewing Emison, of Vincennes, Seventh District chairman, was unopposed for reelection in the Fourth District. Mr. Emison also was unopposed. The five avowed candidates for

the Republican nomination for U. |

S. Senator watched the outcome of district elections which will have an effect on their support in the State convention next month.

Urges Modified Primary

Mr. Emison was reported as favoring former U. S. Senator James E. Watson while the Gates faction was reported as supporting Raymond Willis, former Angola publisher. The other candidates are Oliver Starr, Gary attornev; C. H. Wills, Kokomo, and Walter Bossert, former regional Ku Klux Klan director. With the new Marion County Re-

publication organization perfected, |

Carl Vandivier, new chairman,

scheduled his first speech before the [May 27 and in the interim must |

Report of Robin Convention

the Forest

| They probably picked up that tune and several others at their na-

| tional convention concluded recently in North Carolina. Forest rangers observed the meeting and { filed a report with Secretary of Agriculture Wallace. : The Service said that by referring [ to this report it probably could explain any particular cocky tunes the robins sing. Another theme song of the convention, the rangers | reported, was “Robin Hood.” The report—one of the most unusual in Government files—has no { explanation of why robins might be | expected to warble either tune. It said: { “It appears that about half of the [robins in the U. S. A. held their | combined convention, bug-catching | jamborees, feather-preening and | worm-drawing contests all at one | meeting. { Convention headquarters were in | the lower vailey of the Uharie Naional Forest. The rangers said “millions of robins” were there, apparently representing every state in the union. Nothing like it ever before had been reported.

Break Off Branches

The rangers reported that the | birds congregated at night in a pine thicket about half a mile wide and a mile long. They crowded so close together in the trees that they broke off good-sized branches. The problem of finding a “good place to eat” appeared to have given the delegates considerable trouble. “Hardly a single leaf in the woods for miles around that some robin hadn’t turned over at least twice in his search for insects,” the report said. About half an hour before dusk {every day the birds returned from | foraging trips. The Forest Service | “spies” reported the air so ‘thick | with birds that thev resembled =a | rolling, black thundercloud. They | made a noise “like a mighty wind.” With the coming of spring the { convention broke up. .

One elector would vote on legislative officers, another on administrative and the other on judicial. They would name the ticket by secret vote at another primary a week later. On the Democratic front, some changes were expected to be made in the State committee at tomorrow’s district elections, but Omer Stokes Jackson is slated for re-elec-tion as chairman at the committee meeting.

Anti-New Deal Farm Group to Meet Here

A statewide conference of farmers opposed to New Deal agricultural policies is to be held soon in Indianapolis, William J. Heim, Republican Farmers of Indiana, Inc. president, announced today. The new farm organization sponsoring the conference recently was incorporated and is rallying farmers against “the theories of crop curtailment and increasing agricul‘ural imports,” Mr. Heim said. He said farmers already have enrolled, and organization of units is proceeding rapidly in other counties throughout Indiana.

EAGLES’ LODGE BURGLAR SCARE

Roof by Officers Who Answer Alarm.

Two vouths, 18 and 19, were ques-

with burglary after they were caught adjoining the Eagles Lodge, 43 W. Vermont St., early today. The young men were arrested as they attempted to leave the lodge building when police answered a burglar alarm apparently set off by the pair. They were held on vagrancy charges. Two slot machines inside the building were found to have been moved and change was taken from the cash register. Meanwhile a 15-year-old boy confessed, police said, that he broke into the home of Mrs. Nellie Pendergast, 1443 Everett St., and took jewelry valued at more than $100. He was held to the Police Crime Prevention Bureau. Ivan L. Moore, 3758 N. Pennsylvania St., insurance agent, reported his apartment burglarized and $150 taken from a cedar chest in his bedroom. A former guest in the home of Jeremiah O'Grady, 212 Summit St, was being sought in conneetion with the theft of $45 from his home. Mr. O'Grady said he was told the man was seen crawling through an unlocked window during his absence. Luke Schneider, 41, of the Eastgate Hotel, reported he was slugged by an assailant while in the 500 block, Indiana Ave., late yesterday. Assorted liquor valued at more than $300 was stolen from a store at 950 N. Alabama St. last night, according to Raymond Abraham, 1402 N. Pennsylvania St., store operator.

The burglary was reported to police by Robert Cladorn, 1221 E.

FRENCH LICK, May 10 (U. P.) — | &

William Belton today had the tray juggling championship of the country and a full tummy of fried chicken. Mr. Belton won the title and the chicken in the annual contest held over a hilly mile course near the French Lick Springs Hotel. He dethroned Tom (Tubby) King, last year's winner, who was just an also ran in yesterday's race. Each of the 40 contestants, members of the “head carrying” group of waiters at the hotel, was required to load a tray with food and balance all on the top of the head. Ducky Dardin gave Mr. Belton a close race before he eliminated himself and five others by trippling on a stone and thumping face first into a generous portion of custard pie. The other five tumbled down on top of him, scattering food and their hopes of victory. Mr. Belton came through the race out of breath but without spilling a drop.
