Defeat Predicted For Bigelow Plan

Times Special COLUMBUS, O., ‘Nov. 6.—Forces opposed to the - Constitutional Amendment guaranteeing incomes of $50 a month to all single Ohioans over 60 and $30 to married couples, are confident that the.program, estimated to cost $310,000,000 a year, will be turned down by a decisive vote at tomorrow's - election. Dr. Mark Millikin. of Hamilton, one of the three official sponsors of the plan, has conceded its defeat— because of “defects, due in some degree to loose -wording” in drafting the amendment. But he declared that “this is only ‘the beginning,” indicating the amendment would be revived and submitted at another election. The peénsion forces, led by Herbert S. Bigelow of Cincinnati, are campaigning for not one but two amendments. The first provides for the $50. pensions.” The second would make it easier to submit future laws

popular voté, 3 Campaign One-Sided

, The campaign,:on the surface at least, has’ been one-sided. [aking their cue from President Roosevelt, virtually - every political leader of any consequence in Ohio has taken a public stand against the program. Mr. Bigelow himself has been almost its only articulate advocate. State conventions-of the two labor organizations, the A..F. of L. and C.- I. O. indorsed the Bigelow, amendments. But they have given | the program little apparent. support since that time. In. Cleveland, the Building and Trades Council (A. F. of L.) has bolted the state convention - indorsement- and - is calling upon its’ members to vote against the amendments. John Owens, state head of the C. I. O. was scheduled for a radio talk in their behalf-buft has cancelled it; explaining -that he could | not get the station hookup he had expected. Governor John W. Bricker closed the opposition campaign Friday, declaring that the .Bigelow program would “wreck. the state.” The pension amendment, he said, would incrézse the cost of state government: “six -times over” and “would treble all state taxes or impose a myriad of new taxes.”

Ex-Governors Score Plan

“It would raise the total taxes, Federal state and local, paid in Ohio, to £1,000,000,000 annually,” he said. = “That. is . one-third of the total income of the people of Ohio.” Governor Bricker is a ‘Republican. But three former Democratic Governors, - Martin - L. -Davey, George White and James Coax, have joined him in opposing the Bigelow amendments. Both state political grganizations are working for. their defeat. A total vote of between ,2:000,000 and 2,500,000 is anticipated. An Bigelow: sirength ‘at 1,000,000 ‘is reearly estimate putting -'the progarded now as much too high. A test poll made by the.Cleveland Press in that city found 59 per cent of the voters opposed te the amendments, 16 peér- cent undecided or indifferent. .

Another parade of witnesses before the Grand : Jury was started today as the jury began the fourth week: of its Center Township poor relief ‘probe. Prosecutor David M.

Two of the four men who previously had accepted membership on the committee withdrew Saturday while Mr. Quinn: was seeking a fifth member.

McNutt, attorney ana 1939 Tax Adjustment Board member, and Oscar F. Barry, plumbing supply firm owner.

‘Plans Meeting Today

Mr. Quinn said he would hold a meeting with th» Township Advisory Board, possibly today, to decide whether to abandon the committee plan. : Mr. Miesse, in his letter of withdrawal from the committee, suggested that “it should be possible for you (Mr. Quinn) to remedy any evils in youp administration of poor relief without .the intervention of persons who have no sonnection with your office.”

Nazis Shell Forbach, Trying to Relieve Saarbruecken.

fae

PARIS, Nov. 6 (U. P.).— French troops were reported today to have “rectified” their lines southeast from Forbach, where the Germans had isolated a French garrison after

four days of artillery fire.

It was announced that strong French outposts were holding their essential positions in the Forbach salient. ° The Germans surrounded the town, whose 15,000 civilians have been evacuated, on the north, east and west. Shells from 400 German guns have cut all roads leading south but they have not. yet attacked it with tanks or infantry.

‘Saarbruecken Involved

The movement may be the most important of the war so far, although in no sense the start of a general German attack along the front. . Its importance lies in Germany's need for the supplies of steel and coke from the Saarbruecken indus=trial region, which the French have cut off. No smoke has risen from the Saarbruecken mills since the start of the war. * The | French positions in the heights around Forbach completely dominate Saarbruecken, across the frontier. The Germans evacuated the city two months ago. The French so far have respected Saarbruecken itself, although their guns could ‘destroy it. The reason is that the Germans could destroy the French cities of Forbach, Saar guemines, Strasbourg, Colmar and Mulhouse, all of which, evacuated of the eivilian populations, lie within range of the German artillery,

' Troops Stay in Town

‘By what seemed to be mutual agreement, the Germans refrained from ‘trying to blast the French towns off the map. Now, ‘however,

‘|the pinch of the blockade and the ‘lopening of American munitions and

supplies to the Allies makes it advisable for the Germans to resume production in Saarbruecken, The French are in an exposed position at Forbach, which is on an angle jutting into German territory, and it is doubtful if they can de fend it against strong attack. Forty French villages would fall if the town should be lost. French troops are still in Forbach, taking cover in deep entrenchments against the artillery fire of the Ger= mans. Just as they made a strategic, retreat from the Warndt Forest, leaving Forbach ‘exposed, so is it a

|question whether they will try to

defend the town, at the cost of pers haps tens of thousands of lives. Also there is the possibility of des ° vastating German artillery retalia= tion, Recall Hitler Threat

The French have confined their shelling in the area to roads, bridges and railways in the Saar Valley, carefully avoiding Saarbrucken ite self. Herr Hitler threatened in his Reichstag speech that if the French drop a single shell into Saarbrucken, German guns will lay Strasbourg, Mulhouse and Colmar low. All are within easy range of: the ‘German. artillery. Today's dispatches said the region between Forbacnh and Sarregue= mines, to the southeast, was still under German artillery fire. It was announced that the French had repulsed strong patrols in the Vosges sector between Bitche and Wissembourg. One patrol approached a French outpost throws ing hand grenades but retired after a counter-attack. French reconnaissance planes were reported to have made three flights deep into Germany Sunday . while German air patrols appeared behind the French lines.
