Asks Hospital

Sum Would Provide Three . Nurses, 15 Beds at Tu- . bereulosis Sanatorium.

. The Indianapolis Council of . Women today asked the Marion County Council to appropriate $13,208 for the Marion County Tuberculosis Sanatorium in addition to the hospital's 1940 budget. The sum would provide salaries

i for three additional nurses and pro- * vide equipment for 15 additional beds. Letters to the County Council ‘members were indorsed this morning at the women’s council meeting in Ayres’ auditorium. The council represents 25,000 clubwomen, The Indiana Music Appreciation Campaign also was indorsed. The campaign provides for the distribution of records of symphonies of 10 of the greatest composers at a low price. Ask Commemorative Stamp .

Members voted to urge the issuance of a Nancy Hanks Lincoln Postage stamp for Mother's Day in 1943. The Spencer County Historical Society already has such a campaign under way. : The Council commended Henry Mueller, Center Township trustee, for “allowing all store operators, who are willing and able, to fill relief orders.” ‘ A letter mailed to the trustee said: “We are pleased to hear that abuses practiced in the Township Trustee Office in the past are being rightfully adjusted. It is to the advantage of the poor relief administration that the recipient of a relief voucher receives the best - market value for his money.”

Stamp Plan Action Deferred

Action on indorsement of the food stamp plan was deferred by the Council until further study. The plan involves the issuance of stamps to persons receiving public assistance in order that they may trade them for surplus foods. Tentative approval of the Federal Surplus Commodities Corp.’s plan has been given by the nine township trustees and a committee of three trustees was appointed early in January to seek satisfactory agreements with retail merchants, wholesale food dealers, banks and the Department of Public Welfare. A $75,000 revolving fund would be needed to operate the system. ¢ How the Plan Works

The plan provides for the selling of commodities to the grocers. WPA workers or other Government relief employees would be able to purchase “orange stamps, good for any article at a general store, including household articles. With each $1 worth of orange stamps, 50 cenis worth of blue stamps would be given. The blue stamps could be used only for the purchase of food listed at the stores as surplus food commodities by the Federal Government. Direct relief clients would get relief orders as usual from the trustees ‘but in’ addition would be given blue stamps equal to half the amount of the order. ly Legion Speaker Listed

TremavTREEWS. ETT Paris Gives Spring Styles That Certain | ‘Finnish’ With a Scandinavian Motif Fund Increase Se fo

By ROSETTE HARGROVE PARIS, Feb. 8 (NEA). — YOU'LL FIND “Finnish relief” in the Paris Spring collections. Schidparelli uses Finnish motifs on embroidered belt and pockets. And, with sports suits, she shows peasant hose of white cotton, and one-strap, low-heeled patent leather shoes. Her trig town suits are worn with lace-trimmed muslin scarfs and lace-trimmed Scandinavian betrothal bonnets. : Schiaparelli's mannequins acquire a new and exaggerated corseted look by means of elastic threads shirred through the waistline. Pockets are highlighted. Jackets are knuckle-length, suavely fitted. Silk prints show love birds, pen=quins, mice, kangaroos. > Quadruplé pockets, embroidered in Finnish motifs, stretch across the bosom of the jacket of one of her evening tailleurs. : Heim introduces smocking motifs on romantic gowns of stiff silks. The skirts are full, with the smocking restraining fullness at hipline. These vie with sophisticated mermaid sheaths. Also in the Heim collection are: Shorter, flared skirts; inexpensive furs, such as rabbit, treated like expensive pelts; lace, trimmed with linen. Among the colors are seamew gray, chalk white, earthy pastels, browns, blues, verdigris," lime green, black, navy.

PIQUET’S SILHOUETTE is youthful, devoid of extraneous trimmings, with neat bodice and short, ultra-full skirt. The fullness starts below the hip yoke. Necklines are high, softened by scarfs. Daytime sleeves are above= elbow length. Jackets are collar=less, wrist-length and center fastened. Shoulders are square. Notable in the Piquet collection are narrow belts from which dangle identification discs (wartime reminder); butlers’ striped vets; reversible coats and jackets. The “hourglass” waist is the keynote of the Lelong collection. It is especially stressed for evening and emphasized further by full skirts. The fullness starts below. the hips. Tightly-banded wide belts reach well above and below the waistline. Lelong’s formal gowns are, as usual, full of sex appeal with extreme decolletes. Draped bodices

AVERAGE NEGRO BY DEMOCRATS

Many Have Returned | to G. 0. P. Fold, However, ~ Survey Indicates.

PRINCETON, N, J, Feb. 6—In the last Presidential election the great majority of those Negroes who voted—principally in Northern communities—turned their backs on the party of Abraham Lincoln to vote for Franklin D. Roosevelt. As the

Republi Party gathers in a se- : Fon ries of Lincoln

across the nation next week, one of the problems that will. not be overlooked is that of winning the Nevote back

chance do the Republicans have? While it is still a long way until election day, the recent surveys of the American Institute of Public

1. That the average Negro vot_er.is still anxious to see the Dem~ ocrats win in 1940. 2. But that if the Presidential. ‘election were’ held today the Republican candidate might gather a larger share of the Negro vote than Governor Landon did in 1936. : - Approaching Negro voters in all of the states where their political sympathies are important, the In= stitute asked a carefully selected cross-section: “Which party would you like to see win the Presidential election in November?” and “In general, do you approve or disapprove today of Roosevelt as President?”

82% For Roosevelt

_ As\the following figures show, the average Negro voter is more likely to be a Democrat and a Roosevelt supporter than the ordinary voter throughout the country. (Figures for “all voters” are from the latest Institute surveys): Favor

Trend Toward G. O. P.

In the 1936 election, the Institutes present survey shows, approximately 76 per cent of the Negro voters interviewed (who voted at all) voted for Roosevelt, while 24 per cent were for Landon. Obviously, there has been a substantial movement on the part of Negro voters toward the G. O.

Factor in Close States

The indicated Republican gain among Negro voters since 1936 is only slightly greater than G. O. P. gains among all classes of voters, however, and so the Republicans cannot be sure that the trend represents any special change in the Negro voter's position. The most likely explanation seems to be that "the Negro voter is today voting far more in terms of his income status than in terms of his traditional arty lings. P ae the trend of the Negro’s political sentiments should be, he is likely to be an important factor in the election in several “borderline” states. In 1936, for instance, New York, Pennsylvania and Illinois averaged more than a quarter of a million registered Negro voters apiece, and Ohio, Michigan and Indiana together accounted for more than 400,000 more.

WATCH WRITING OF FIRST LADY

Capital Observers Believe Mrs. Roosevelt’s Column Is Key to 1940.

By CHARLES T. LUCEY

Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Feb. 6. — For three years intermittently, and for the last year almost daily Washington has pecked away at the question of what President Roosevelt would do about a third term. Every phrase he wrote or spoke was dissected for a clue. . Today some political students, a United States Senator or two among them, thought they might have the best indicator so far: The writings and sayings of Mrs. Roosevelt. In her column, “My Day,” and at her press conferences, Mrs. Roosevelt has been doing some free swinging on controversial subjects. Would she do so, these observers ask, if her husband were running for office? They doubt it. In recent weeks, it is pointed out, Mrs. Roosevelt has referred in friendly terms to the American Ybuth Congress, some members of which have been accused of being “fellow travelers” munists. . She has criticized phases of the Dies Committee's work. She has appeared to condone the action of the American Student Uhion in voting down a resolution Sontiemning the Soviet war on Finand, ve She has discussed birth control. Granting that Mrs. Roosevelt has enjoyed more latitude in her public activities than most First Ladies, one Senator argued that the forceful latter positions are not those of the wife of a man planning to go before the country for votes. . Concerning birth control, she said she was not opposed to it, but

. Factories Are Busy

C. I. O. is important politically. Business is booming in the .dise trict. Most factories are operating full-time. There is virtually no ree lief problem. In some cities the

is: a shortage of skilled labor. The business revival has brought a core responding recession in Democratic strength. Democratic pluralities which mounted from 3785 in 1932 to a high of 21,176 in '36, dropped off sharply to 5005 in ’38. Only Mr. Ashbrook’s personal popularity saved him in the latter year, it would seem, since the District ree turned majorities for the Republic~n candidates for United States Senator and Governor. Republican candidates for the nomination include J. Harry MecGregor, majority leader in the State House of Representatives; Col. Oliver H. Dockery, retired Army officer, and Walter B. Wood ward. Five Democrats seek the Ashe brook seat: Byron B. Ashbrook, a nephew of the late Congressman: Frank Cave, a former Speaker of the State House of Representatives; Ben A. Arneson, political science professor. at Ohio Wesleyan University; William Haas, and B. B, Ferenbaugh.
