GILLIOM LAUDS G.0.P. PLANK ON POLL REFORM
Central Tabulation Would Check Chances for Fraud, Club Told.
The Republican platform plank for central tabulation of votes today had been indorsed by Elbert R. Gilliom, who served as a commissioner in the recent Democratic Sheriff race recount. Mr. Gilliom, an attorney, told Irvington Republican Club members last night that the recount results revealed that the present election law is inadequate to assure the voter that his vote “will be given its true and full effect.” “Analysis of the result of the recount,” he said, “shows that the difference between the original returns and recount totals was due primarily to incorrectness of the count made by the various precinct election boards and to mutilation, alteration and marking-in of ballots by persons other than the
. Voter.
“The probability of the occurrence of discrepancies of this character is great under a system permitting the opening of ballot boxes and handling of ballots or voting machines at the polling place in each precinct. “The opportunity for error or fraud in the counting and handling of votes would be greatly reduced were the election laws amended to require that immediately upon the closing of the polls, the locked ballot boxes or voting machines be delivered to a central point, at which the vote would be counted by impartial expert canvassers, as is urged by the platform of the Republican Party.”
Charges Law Flouted
Conceding that no practical system can be devised to guarantee absolutely against election fraud or error, Mr. Gilliom commented that with central tabulation of votes,
the opportunities for and proba-
bilities of such fraud or error would be greatly reduced. He added that the recount revealed an “appalling general absence of respect” for provisions of the election laws. " “That respect,” he said, “which is essential to adequate protection of the public franchise under any system, can be re-established only by a vigorous investigation of the recent primary fraud and a fearless prosecution of those responsible.” Mr. Gilliom is the 20th Ward chairman of the Young Republican Organization.

Rebel Bombs Fail to Break
Victims’ Spirit, Veteran Says
The bombing of Spanish tities by Rebel planes has failed to have
the psychological effect expected.
That is the belief of an American who. fought with and witnessed several air- raids in Barcelona.
He is
Los Angeles, who stopped in In-®
dianapolis today en route home. “The planes have no military objectives,” ‘Mr. Gordon said. (“They
fly at high altitudes, scattering their bombs over the city. But rather than break the people’s spirit, these raids inflame them all the more.” Mr. Gordon was in the war zone for 19 months, serving with a French brigade. He fought as a machine-gunner in Madrid and at the battle of Tereul. It was at the battle of Tereul that he was wounced, Feb. 27. He was in -a Barcelona hospital until May 5. .
Believing that a Rebel victory would mean the spread of fascism, Mr. Gordon said he decided to fight with T.oyalists when he lost his newspaper job. He quit the army when he received word his job was open, Mr. Gordon credits the Loyalists’ determination for their stand against Franco's forces. “The Loyalists,” Mr. Gordon said, “have sufficient small arms but lack the heavy artillery and airplanes at Gen. Franco's disposal.”
The Westerner contended that it “is up to the democracies fo end this conflict. They must eventually realize this is more than an internal revolution,” he said.
HOPE REVIVED FOR ELEVATION
1925 Railroad Contract May Make Proposed Work Possible.
Mayor Boetcher and Works Boards members today studied the possibility of proceeding with South Side track elevation under a 1925 contract with the Belt Railroad. The Mayor pointed out that under the plan, the Pennsy.vania Railroad, which recently indicated opposition to the work at this time, might be forced to participate because location of the two railroads’ tracks is such that one could not be elevated without elevation of the other. The City has on file in Washington an application for a PWA grant of 45 per cent of the estimated $3,085,000 cost. Mayor Boetcher ‘and other officials will go to Washington next week to confer with PWA officials on the program.
Sick Youth Paroled on Plea Counsel Withheld Evidence
A tubercular youth, who claimed his attorney failed to use evidence to establish his innocence when he couldn’t pay a $200 fee, was granted a parole today by the State Clemency Commission. He is Perl Wise, convicted in Allen Circuit Court and sentenced June
ing the time he was in the Indiana Reformatory, Wise said that another youth who had been arrested for burglarizing a Ft. Wayne filling station had implicated him falsely. Harry Banks, sentenced to one year in the Indiana State Farm from Marion County Criminal Court on Feb. 4, 1938, for carrying a pistol without a permit, also was paroled. Banks had no previous convictions. Three other Marion County prisoners sentenced to the Stale arm were denied leniency. Two of them were codefendants in a case involving theft of gold.
Edward Yarhing, operator of an old gold exchange. was sentenced
22, 1937, to two to five years for second-degree burglary. Maintaining his innocence dur-®
was stolen by Eugene Long, who was given an identical sentence for petit larceny. Long was alleged to have sold to Yarling gold which he took from his employer. Don Gronauer sentenced from here on Jan. 19, 1938, to one year for robbery, also was denied leniency.
