Ettinger Evades Question | And Democrats Wonder; Party Power Involved. |
By SAM TYNDALL The possibility that County Clerk Charles R. Ettinger may decline to reappoint Hendricks Kenworthy as the Democratic member of the County Election Board was being discussed by Democratic leaders today. Although Mr. Kenworthy was renominated last week by County Chairman Ira Havmaker, the Countv Clerk evaded questions as to whether he would appoint Mr, Ken-| worthy. The clerk, as an ex-officio member of the three-man board, appoints ene Democratic and one Republican member on nomination of the two party chairmen. $ In past vears, clerks have accepted the chairmen’s nominations without question.
More Important, Is Claim
Although members of the same political party, cbservers said, Mr. Ettinger and Mr. Kenworthy never have been close political friends. The personnel of the Board, it was pointed out, is of more importance next vear than usual because of the increased powers given the Board under the new Central Vote Counting Law, his law, it has been suggested.| might make it possible for the Board | to take control of the party or-! ganizations from the elected precinct committeemen and place it in the hands of the party chairmen. |
Time Important Element |
i Under the law, precinct committeemen named in the Primary Election, on the first Tuesday in May, must designate one vice committeeman each before the following Thursday. The elected committeemen and appointed vice committeemen, constituting the county committee, then meet the following Saturday and elect a county chairman, | However, the law provides that if any committeemen fail to make their appointments by Thursday the County Chairman may make them. Heretofore, with tabulation of the ballots conducted by the various! precinet boards, the vote for committeeman always has been tabulated first.
Counting Could Be Delayed
Under the new law, all ballots will be tabulated at the Court House un-| der the direction of the County Election Board. If the Board should delay counting committeemen ballots until last, the winning commit- | teemen might not be determined by Thursday, Thus, the County chair-| Hen could name a hand-picked bloc of 336 vice committeemen, enough to control the election and to permit the chairmen to perpetuate themselves in office. Mr. Ettinger is expected to insist that the precinct committeemen ballots be counted first and to insure that this will be done he must have the certain support of one of the two other Board members. It is for this reason that the complexion of the Board for next year is important politically.

Longsworth Divides Time Between Business and | His Family.
By EARL RICHERT
Walter I. Longsworth, the new president of the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce, doesn’t have his name in bold face type in the city directory. He doesn't hold many offices in the civic organizations and the three clubs to which he belongs. He devotes much of his time to his family, much of the rest to his business. All of which goes to say he is a modest, unassuming man who works hard at his job. He is president and general manager of the Lilly Varnish Co, 666 S. California St.
Not Wholly Self-Made
Mr. Longsworth even says he fis not an entirely self-made man. He started life with many advantages, he explains. He was born in a well0. family. He at-
at Cleveland. He got a job when
{ he graduated in the depression of | 1907.
And then he got another job and here he is—"that's it.” But those terse words don't quite tell all the story.
Mr. Longsworth got a job upon]
graduation from college as a clerk with the Glidden Varnish Co. in Cleveland at the munificent the puts it that way) salary of $40 a month. He saved very little of that salary, but soon he was earning
| more and then he saved regularly.
Promoted to Sales Head
By 1921 he had been promoted to industrial sales manager of the Cleveland firm. Then he and a group of associates purchased the Lilly Varnish Co. from the Lilly family here. He started as sec-retary-treasurer and was named president in 1936. He Jooks the part of the big businessman. His hair is a distinguished gray. He wears well-cut conservative clothes, and has a preference for solid double-breasted gray suits and blue shirts. He is as slender as an athlete, though his only exercise is “golf, once in a while.” He presides at his place of business in a typical executive's office, richly but not lavishly furnished. Pictures of business friends hang on one side of the dark-paneled The modem furniture is upholstered in bright red leather. A baseball trophy won several vears ago by a company team sits on a bookcase. He declines to make pronouncements on the business outlook or

| Elmer A. Crews, U. S.

It concerns us all." It] depresses, it stimulates, it turns right into wrong, it incites to | violence.

In Need of Corn
Times Special FRANKFORT, Ind, Dec. 15— Sam Ricker, Clinton County House elevator operator, admitted it was a rather squirrelly Christmas appeal, but nevertheless made it in all sincerity.
In behalf of Desdomona, the pet squirrel in the Court House yard, he appealed for a winter supply of corn. He said she's getting down to the last few grains of her supply. “Just drop an ear or two in the Court House yard,” Mr. Ricker
| said for the special benefit of
farmers. “I've got plenty of storage space.”
