Elected Before ‘Repeal . Mr. York said many city and town officials were elected before repeal and therefore it was impossible to make election an issue on this question, Under the present Jaw, the county liquor boards which serve only in an advisory capacity to the State Excise Department, are composed of a representative named by the County Council, one by the mayor,
and a thir¢ member chosen by the |
State Excise Department. Mr. Yorkz said his organization usually found this third member to be an outspoken wet. He suggested oqrganizay on of the county boards to provide that the member now chosen by the State be chosen by the other two menibers of the board. “We believe t#ie people at the present time are more interested in solving the liquor question for themselves than having it solved for them by a centralized State agency,” he said. Elimination of liquor advertising from billboards and by public carriers was recommended by Lenhardt E. -Bauer, Indiana Wholesale Liquor Dealers Association secretary, yesterday. Pointing out that producers and wholesalers aré conducting a national advertising campaign for moderation in the use of alcoholic beverages, Mr. Bauer said this type of advertising nullified the effects of the prograrn. After other witnesses testified that 75 per cent of package liquor sales were of half-pifit containers and that often these fell into the hands of minors, Mr. Bauer said his organization had no objection to elimination of the sale of liquor in containers of this ‘type. He declared that liquor wholesalers had voluntairly abandoned the sale of “mini- |W ature” liquor Jpottles for the same
reason. A Swubgest “Freezing” Many of the persons testifying suggested ¢ reduction or a “freezing” at, the present level of the number of retail outlets and urged that standards cf financial responsibility be established for persons seeking to operate taverns.

McCracken, Indiana Retail Alcoholic Beverages Association secretary, who claimed the present system could not be enforced. He suggested that a single license be issued to any person handling any type cf alcoholic beverage on either a py-the-drink or a package * basis, and that clubs be required to take out this same type of license. This prcposal was opposed by Harold C. Feightner, Indiana Brewers Association “executive secretary, who said he objected to the vesting
* of the license issuing authority sole-
ly in local elective bodies. The importer system was attacked by various groups because of the adverse public criticism which it attracted to the entire alcoholic beverage industry and because of the threats of other states to place embargoes on Indiana beer unless it ‘was repealed.

The grievance committee pointed out that at the time Mr. Hartman “answered said question under oath, namely on the 11th day of February, 1932, and at the time of his admission to the Bar, on April 8, 1932, the Supreme Court had exclusive jurisdiction over the admission of attorneys to practice law in Indiana.’ ‘Up to Court’ .

FLORENCE LAWRENCE DEAD, JOB TOO LATE
HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 29 (U. B35 Florence Lawrence, whose - name glittered brightly in the lights of silent movies, finally got her chance for a comeback career. ut it was too late. An incurable bone disease prevented her going on, and she chose death. Two hours after the Metro- Gold-wyn-Mayer casting office telephoned her yesterday, she called to a neighbor: “Get a doctor: ant poison.” She died in the Beverly Hills Receiving Hospital. Miss Lawrence was one of the greatest and most beautiful of the early film stars. She entered pictures in 1907 as the original “Biograph Girl,” preceding Mary Pickford in this role.

CHILD WELFARE 2
CHANGES URGED
Townsend Commission Asks Seven Major Changes As It Reports.
The Governor's Commission on Child Welfare Laws: today urged codification of all State statutes dealing with children and recommended seven major changes in the present laws. In a report submitted to Governor
Townsend following a 10 months’ study, the Commission said: “We recognize, that eventually there should be a completely integrated child welfare program in the|. county which will include facilities in the County Department of Public Welfare for the care of children in need, including dependent and neglected children, handicapped children, delinquent children and those in danger of becoming delinquent. “This objective must necessarily be brought about by the gradual improvement of the laws concerning child welfare and the facilities for their administrations.” The recommendations are: 1. Existing ldws governing adoption of children in Indiana and
@ Ga care of children born ¢ of wedlock be changed to conf to modern thinking and accep policy in child welfare, 3. Laws governing licensing ; child-caring agencies be amended 1 standards of such care to uni y acceptable levels, sting laws regarding foster care | of depe--ent and neglected children be amended to provide fully| integrated program of child welfare in the state. 5.” ting laws governing inter= state transportation to and from In diana of dependent and neglected children be amended to provid proper safeguards to the state and to all parties concerned, especially any adoptive proceedings.
o Is are now being drafted tient include the commission's recome mendations and are to be: submite
ted to” the Legislature convening next month. In| its ‘survey of Indiana’s chile dren's laws, the Commission said it’ found some obsolete laws which ale most classify the neglected and orphaned child as a criminal and others which once permitted farms

Return our Ship of State to the course envisioned by George Washington, and “not as rerouted by F. D. R.” The G. O. P. steering committee, meanwhile, virtually had compieted its work of drafting platform bills to be introduced into the coming session of the General Assembly. The committee, which met yesterday with Arch N. Bobbitt, G. O. P. State chairman, considered legislative action covering the issues of the beer importer system and amendments to the liquor control laws. The legislative program, yet to be completed by the committee, includes amendments to the State Corrupt Practices Act to bring the
within the jurisdiction of the statute, revision of the State's election laws and amendments to the State Representation Act of 1933, Mr, Bobbitt said. : Meanwhile, Rep. Herbert Evans, recently named G. O. P. choice for House floor leader, announced his intention of organizing a Volunteer committee of House Republicans to investigate all State departments, with emphasis on the liquor setup, after the Legislature adjourns. ! Editors to Meet While official comment on such a plan was lacking, it was understood in G. O. P. circles that the move would be taken only if Republicans fail to open investigations during the session. Members of the Republican Editorial Association, powerful policy-
| making unit in the State G. O. P.
organization, convened at 10:30 a. m. under the leadership of Foster Riddick of Columbia City, chairman, to discuss plans for their annual midwinter meeting. ‘Republican mayors, under the chairmanship of Mayor W. Vincent Youkey, Crown Point, discussed their “home rule” program. Legislators and members of the G. O. P. finance committee also held meetings. Mr. Bobbitt was to confer with each group and discuss its relationship with the
| State Committee.
Charles W. Jewett, defeated G. O. P. candidate for 12th District Congressman, also was to address the conference of mayors. Perry W. Reeves, State G. O. P.

have been overwhelmingly repudiated by the people.” He said the Republican Party is the only agency through which the people can register their will and opposition to the trend of present national movements,” adding that the party has been “elevated to the high station of the Peoples’ Agency for Protection.” Mr. Jewett declared the Federal Government is making a “relentless campaign to induce local communities to go further into debt for improvements they cannot afford and do not need.” lican . leadership “should lay before the people the facts.” The Republican Editorial Associa-
