LINES FOR FIGHT INLEGISLATURE
Leaders. Proclaim Harmony
After Conference of poo State Officials.
* By RICHARD LEWIS The Indiana G. O. P., apparently unified under the leadership of its State Committee officers, today had tightened party on nization in preparation for an eXfended fight in the 1939 Legislature, [rsh convenes Jan. 5. ~ Republican leaders described the conference of 500 Republican legis-
¥ lators, mayors and editorial associa-
which ended yes-
tion members,
terday, as “successful” in promoting |
party: harmony for the immediate |
legislative battle and the 1940 cam- |
paign.
- In addition to strengiifening party ||
lines, observers said, the conference ostensibly succeeded in enhancing. the prestige of the ‘State Committee, which directed the campaign preceding the 1 st election. Delegates lunched : the Claypool and heard committee members praise the candidat and the candidates praise the Committee.
Looks Toward | 1940
‘will G. Irwin of c ylumbus, Republican National for Indiana, pointed to Republican gains in tne Indiana lelection and the successes of the G. O. P. in Ohio and Pennsylvania as indicative of & Republican victory in 1940, Other speakers, including Raymond E. Willis, unsuccessful G. O. P.. Senatorial candidate; Arch N. Bobbitt. State chairman, and Noel Neal, Mr. Willis” campaign manager, ‘asserted that, election results to the contrary, . “we won, the electien.” " «I believe and I alt ays will believe, ” Mr. Neal asserted; “that Raymond E. Willis was elected to the u. S. Senate.” ‘Mr. Bobbitt ‘also {said he was “convinced we won t ie election.” Mr. Willis asserted the Republican . Party had “more than wiped out a. deficit of 200, 000 | votes in the last campaign.”
Scores Foreign Policy
. Maj. Gen. George Van Horn Moseley, U. S. Army, retired, the principal speaker - at [a luncheon of all groups, assailed the Administration’s foreign ols toward Germany and Japan. | He advocated the signing of “an enduring peace with Japan” which, he said, would release the U. S. fleet for duty in| the Atlantic, “where it may be needed.” The retired Army officer also leveled a barrage against recent anti-Nazi statements of Secretary of, the Interior Harold Ickes, but did not mention the cabinet officer by name. Maj. Gen. ‘Mosel y charged the British had “surcharged the atmosphere against. us at Lima in order to protect |their interests in. the Argentine and were opposed to ‘anything like a Pan-American League.” . When asked if he| would elaborate these remarks in an interview after the luncheon, Maj. Gen. Moseley declined, saying: | - “I've. already gotten into. plenty of hot water on:that subject.” Meanwhile, .© Mr! Bobbitt announced that the Republican publicity. bureau, headed by Carl PF.| Ogle; would be retgined for at least one gear . .l

STATE SYPHILIS FOUND COSTLY
121,000 New Cases Reported , Annually: With Total / Near 300,000.
Approximately 300,000 people in Indiana have or have had syphilis and to this number 21,000 new cases are being added annually, according to Wendell C. Kelly, chief - of the State Bureau of Venereal Diseases. Writing in the current issue of the State Health Board Bulletin, Mr.
Kelly said: “Although it is impossible to estimate the actual cost of the morbidity and mortality of this disease (syphilis), it is probable that it exceeds the collective costs of running the government in this State.” A statewide program has been developed to control the disease through a $59,000 grant from the U. S. Surgeon General following pas(sage last May of the Federal Venereal Disease Control Act. 3
Co-operates Locally
The State Health Board is cooperating with local medical officers and doctors by making availdble report blanks and other aids to facilitate the diagnosis and proper reporting of cases, Mr. Kelly said. State laboratory services are available to any physician and special investigators are being sent out in some areas. Clinics have been established in Lake, St. Joseph, Allen, Wabash, Howard, Grant, Madison, Delaware, Marion, Wayne, Shelby, Clay, Vigo, Monroe, Bartholomew, Jefferson and Vanderburgh Counties, Mr. Kelly said: “Approximately 230,000 treatments are given each year in these clinics.” The Bureau co-operates with the syphilis committee of the Indiana t State Medical Association in the administering of the program.
