PETITION ASKS

County Attorney Expected to Oppose New Move at Public Hearing.

A " petition asking Circuit Court Judge Earl R.:Cox to appoint ‘two, pairs of magistrates for Marion County outside Indianapolis was filed in his court today. Bearing the names of 40 freeholders, the petition was filed by Ira M. Holmes; attorney, who only three weeks ago was “appointed” by

Judge Cox as one of two magistrates for a new magistrate court. Because of ‘a technicality, Mr. Holmes and ‘his co-jurist, Edward McElfresh, found they had not been legally appointed. The technicality was the lack of a petition for the appointment. The petition asks that the four magistrates he named to serve parttime and declares there is a necessity for’ the new judicial officers. Judge Cox is expected to set a date for a hearing on the petition. County Commissioners, through the County attorney, are expected. to oppose the ‘requested appointments. In the petition, the signers declare that thetwo magistrate courts to be presided over by pairs of judges are Headed for the reasons: 1. That the new Magistrate Court Act, when it went into effect last automatically deprived all mayors, city courts and justices of the peace of; their jurisdiction in criminal and [traffic cases. 2.

PLAN TO ELECT NEW TRUSTEE REPORTED

Ettinger Says He Il ‘Refuse Petitions This Year. *

Counts Clerk Charles R. Ettinger said today he would refuse to accept any declaration 'of candidacy for the office of Center Township Trustee for the 1940 elections. This statement was made in reply to a report that an attempt by a “disgruntled former employee of ‘the trustee's office” is to be made to “open” the trustee’s office this year instead of in 1942. The reported movement to force an election this year .is based on a theory that Henry F. Mueller, present trustee, was gppointed Dec. 9, 1939, only until a successor can be elected. Mr. Ettinger said, however, that in his opinion, Mr. Mueller was appointed to fill the unexpired fouryear term of former trustee Thomas Quinn, who resigned. . Quinn’s .| term does not expire until 1942. “The law is] clea inat township offices are up for election every four years,” Mr. Ettinger said. “There is no, possible way in which the trustee can be placed on this year’s ballot.” If the reported attempt to file a declaration for candidacy materializes it would pave the way for a mandate or declaratory judgement suit in county courts to determine the issue. |

SLIM HOPE OF | ENDING STRIFE

| Official Word From Europe

Makes Headlines ‘Seem Empty,” Early Says.

WASHINGTON, March 18 (U.P.).

|—The White House said today that

official communications from Europe make peace headlines seem - very. empty and indicated U.,.S. official information showed little basis for forecasts Germany has composed an 1l1-point peace; program.

White’ House Secretary Stephen T. Early said that the reports which President Roosevelt has received and analyzed fail-to indicate ground either for hoping or despairing that peace will be achieved. Mr. Early did not mention the alleged 11-point German peace program specifically, but it was made evident that his remarks also covered those reports. j

Reports Carefully Anzlyzed

“On the basis of all authoritative reports received by this Government and carefully read and analyzed by President Roosevelt,” Early said, “There seems to be no basis in fact for reports published in London, Rome, Berlin, Paris an other capitals that give an /authoritative basis for peace or that the publication’ of * these reports should change the opinjon of newspaper readers of this country or other countries by;giving them either hope for peace or causing them to despair” for peace.” “In other words, on the basis of authoritative . reports, received by this Government especially from

to be very empty.” Mr. Early apparently was indicating that reports forwarded to the White House through official channels appeared to: signify maintenance lof the European stalemate.

Door Remains Open

He indicated that on basis of these reports the Government saw nothing which would close the door to progress toward peace but on the other hand saw no positive, specific proposals which might improve prospects of a settlement of the war. American diplomatic. representatives at major European listening h posts have-been forwarding a steady| stream of reports to Mr. Roosevelt. The President has kept in the closest touch with developments abroad... The White Hause, however, maintained its complete customary silence on the activities of Undersecretary of State Sumner Welles. The purported German 11-point peace program to.which Mr. Early referred was mentioned in dispatches originating from Vatican Soupesy
