NT FORGET | ISSUES OF '40, BOBBITT SAYS

New Dealers Atte Attempting to Distract Voters, Warns - G. 0. P. Chairman. A warning not to forget domestic

political issues in the face of the present European conflict was issued

- by Arch N. Bobbitt, Indiana Re-|

: publican State Central Committee chairman, in a speech before the Garfield . Republican Club at 2145 Shelby St. last night. Mr. Bobbitt paid tribute to county Republican organizations for their work in connection with last Saturday’s Republican rally and characterized the meeting as “the begin-

ning of the Republican march to }

victory in 1940. Says Propagandists Busy

“We mist not permit the Euro-|§

pean ‘war to distract our minds and attentions from the problems -at home.” Mr. Bobbitt said. “The propagandists of the New Deal will seize this opportunity to attempt to make the people forget the domestic ills and perpetuate those in power on a false issue. “There are too many serious problems confronting us for us to lose sight of the fact that we have a Presidential election coming in 1940.”

Comments on Communists

Mr. Bobbitt commented upon af

statement published in a newspaper

and attributed to Rep. Martin Dies|! ), to the effect that the! Administration had instructed the

(D. Tex),

Department of Justice to eliminate 2850 “known Communists” from Government service. “How did these ‘known Communists’ get into our Government service?” Mr. Bobbitt asked. “This is a

question ‘which should not be cast,

aside because there is a war going on in Europe.”

L. S. Ayres & Co., in celebrating the store’s 67th anniversary this week, is being a bit modest about its age. Without stretching the truth a bit, the store might just as well be observing its 88th birthday. And, if there weren't a few pages missing + from Indianapolis’ early history, the anniversary announcements might even read “95 years.” { To tell the truth, even Frederic M. Ayres, its president, doesn’t know exactly how old the store is,

“We do know it has borne the name, Ayres, 67 years, and so we date our aninversary from that,” he

explained. i It was just 67 years ago—back in 1872—that Mr. Ayres’ father, Lyman ba IS. Ayres, came west from Geneva,

N. Y., and bought a controlling interest in the Trade Palace, owned by-N. R. Smith & Co. But the Trade Palace was quite a few years old at that time. It and its predecessors -have been traced back definitely to 1851—88 years ago—and an advertisement of the predecessor store in 1851 thanked the public for its patronage “for the past eight years.” That takes the store’s history back to 1844, when Horace Fletcher opened. a general store here.

A few years later, it boasted the first motorized delivery service—a fleet of fast (12 miles an hour) Waverly electric trucks.

This critical attitude is revealed

either side, there is a greater tendency fo believe the statements of England and France than the statements of Germany—despite Hitler's boasts of the power of German propaganda. This tendency may possibly be accounted for by the fact that most Americans have in many surveys been found sympathetic with the Allied cause in the present struggle. The public's attitude is shown in the replies to three survey questions —two of a general nature and one a specific question dealing with the sinking of the Athenia. Reports Conflict The British have blamed the Athenia disaster on a torpedo from a U-boat. The German press. on the other hand, denied the torpedoing and even suggested that the passenger liner was sunk by the British in order to arouse anti-Ger-man sentiment. The attitude of American voters toward this controversy is as follows: “The British say that the trans-A tic liner Athenia was sunk by /a German submarine. The Germans say they did not sink it. Do you believe the Germans sank the Athenia?”

It seems clear from the results that, in this first Goan propaganda skirmish, the Reich came off second best so far as influencing American opinion is concerned. Few Have Full Confidence But this does not mean that the public is completely hospitable to the statements and reports from the Allied side. The other two ques-

that only a small handful of voters say they have “complete confidence” in the news from England and France. As many as-30 per cent declare they have “no confidence” in Allied reports, while the rest say they have only “some confidence.” As for German statements and reports, a large majority of American voters — approximately two-thirds—
