150 AT MEETING VOTE T0 BATTLE ARMS EMBARGO

Prof. Linton of I. U. Says Ban Against Munitions ‘Hamstrings’ U. S. ~

OU ous agreement to seek repeal the arms embargo through letters to Congressmen was voiced by approximately 150 persons who attended a meeting of the Committee for Repeal of the Arms Embargo at the Claypool Hoteé last night. Prof. E. N. Linton of the Indiana University government department told the meeting that “repeal of the embargo is the surest road to peace for this country.” : Asserting that the present law “hamstrings and hogties” the United States, Prof. Linton said that the world “is bound by international law,” which, he said, would permit the sale of munitions and war supplies. Herbert E. Wilson, judge of Sus perior Court 5, opened the meeting with a brief explanation of the committee’s purpose. He then introduced Kenneth Ogle, who, with Dr. John Coulter and Glenn B. Ralston, forms the steering committee. Mr. Ogle urged those attending to dispute the assertion that repeal of the embargo would lead the country to war. A question and answer period closed the discussion. Persons from other Indiana cities agreed to form groups favoring embargo repeal in their own communities.

The Gallup Poll—

Shows U. S. Oppose Peace-Time Draft

By DR. GEORGE GALLUP Director, American Institute of Public Opinion

PRINCETON, N. J., Oct. 10—Although the European war has af-

fected American thinking in numerous ways, there has been no substantial increase in the number of Americans who would approve compulsory military training for this country in peace-time. In its latest na-tion-wide survey on the question the American Institute of Public Opinion has found that a large majority of voters—more than six ‘in every ten—still oppose peace-time conscription, although the number is slightly less than nine months ago when the Institute first put the question to the public.

years, according to Elijah B. Martindale, the present owner.

The Board approved construction of a $75,000 theater at 5835 E. Washington St. Owners of rental property nearby objected to a parking lot, to be maintain near the theater. The Board ordered a six-foot fence around the lot as a condition of granting the permit. Over the protests of rental property owners, the Board granted the petition of Horace G. Casaday to enable the Ready-Mix Concrete

Corp. to operate a concrete mixing|” plant on the grounds of the Casady|-

Voters Still

Last December, before the British broke their long-standing tradition against compulsory military training, the Institute asked a carefully selected cross-section of American voters in all states: “Do you think every able-bodies young man 20 years old should be made to serve in the Army or the Navy for one year? With the same question put to a similar cross-section in the survey just completed, the trend has been as follows:

Favor Con- Oppose Conscription scription

Dec., 1938 ........ 31% 63% TODAY .......... 39 61

The prevailing view is that—because of the strong U. 8. Navy and our policy of staying out of European power politics—America does not need compulsory military training, the comments show. ose holding this view claim that ‘the present voluntary system for instructing reserve officers—coupled in time of emergency with large-scale civilian training—is quite sufficient for American needs. Frequently it is remarked that “it would break up young people’s work Just when they need to get started in life.” Interestingly enough, only one person in twenty (5%) says that he is undecided or without an opinion on the question. Most opposed to the idea of. a year’s compulsory training are young people of military age, the survey shows. Thirty-six per cent of those under the age of thirty say they would favor a conscription program, as compared with 40 per cent over that age. The most significant differences, however, are between . persons in business and professional groups— the upper income group—and those at the bottom of the income scale. Whereas only 33 per cent of the well-to-do class approve the idea of conscription, 45 per cent of those in the lower income group and on

for this divergence is that many unemployed persons think they might find jobs—either. as military recruits or as substitutes for those who were serving their year’s time.

COUNTY SURVEYOR WINS SUIT ON PAY

County Surveyor John C. Ryan yesterday won a suit to raise his salary from $2400 to $3600 a year. Superior Court Judge Herbert M. Spencer held’ that Mr. Ryan is a licensed engineer within the terms

of Indiana law and entitled to more pay. County Commissioners, defendants in the action, contended that Mr. Ryan was licensed in Georgia and not in Indiaha and that therefore he was entitled only to the $2400 salary provided for surveyors who are not licensed engineers. Judge Spencer said the law did not require surveyors to be licensed by Indiana but that it meant they had only to be “licensed engineers.”
