not marked the ballot according to the voter's instruction. Deputy Prosecutor Edward T. Brennan declined to permit the men to sign affidavits on the basis that since there was nothing to distinguish this particular ballot from the others in the ballot box, it could not be singled out for use as evidence.

Brennan Promises Pledge

Without the ballot as evidence, Mr. Brennan said, he could not get & conviction in court. However, he promised to make a personal investigation at the polling place. Mr. Ettinger warned all pre¢inct boards and explained that when a voter asks for instructions, the information should be given at a reasonable distance from the voting booth. At one precinct, election officials ordered all shades on windows raised so watchers outside could see into the polling place. At three precincts, election officials seized several hundred slate cards that bore only numbers without the name of any sponsor on them. The law requires the name of an organization on the slates. Mr. Ettinger attributed some of the attempts at irregularities to the central counting system because “the central count will prevent any manipulations after the polls close.”

‘Dirty Work’ Starts Early

“It looks like some of the workers are trying to get in some dirty work before the polls close this year,” he said. The first report on the trend of the voting was received from workers in the 10th Precinct, 20th Ward, where 57 Republicans and 19 Democrats had cast ballots up to 8:30 a.m. A steady stream of voters was reported at 339 N. Sherman Dr. and at 1147 E. 63d St., where workers reported that Republican voters were outnumbering Democrats two to one. Election Board members said a tour of the Ninth Ward on the East Side indicated that the sentiment in the Democratic County Treasurer contest between Walter C. Boetcher and James F. Cunningham, was “leaning toward Mr, Boetcher.” An indication of a comparatively light vote in the mid-morning hours was the lack of complaints among voters that they were not registered properly. Few Ask Affidavits The registration office reported that only half as many challenged voters called for affidavits of legal registration than in previous elections. A congestion of voters at several polling places where long lines were moving slowly into the booths brought hurried complaints to the Election Board. The Board advised precinct officials to move voting booths from walls so voters could line up on both sides of the booths, doubling the capacity. Election officials predicted that the central counting system will eliminate the necessity of recount disputes this year. Mr, Ettinger said the central count will be as “nearly fool-proof as it is possible to get.” Two years ago, under the old system of counting at each precinct polling place, recount contests revealed discrepancies as high as 2000 votes. In many precincts the vote totals were reversed. entirely. The new counting, which will be started at Tomlinson Hall about 8 o'clock tonight, is expected to require about 60 hours. This is giving party leaders some worry because the election laws provide that precinct committeemen must be made known by tomorrow noon in order that they can appoint their vice committeemen in time for thé county reorganization conventions at noon Saturday.

Committeemen Unopposed

However, there are 97 precincts in which precinct committeemen are unopposed on both Republican and Democratic ballots. Election officials said they would pick only precincts in which there are coramitteeman contests for counting first in the hope of getting all contested ones counted before the deadline. If the elected committeemen are unable to name their vice committeemen by the deadline, the County Chairmen are empowered to appoint them. This was seen as a decided

MARKED

Black Sheep

In some of the predominant ly Republican precincts of Wash= ington Township, the occasional voter asking for a Democratic ballot felt pretty conspicuous. “I guess I'm a black sheep,” one Democrat remarked sheepish= ly as he took a white ballot and felt all eyes in the room turned on him. . “How did you get a zoning variance to move out here?” a worker asked.

N. Y.-VANCOUVER AIRLINE MAPPED

Canadian Firm Plans for 13-Hour Coast-to-Coast Service in 1942.

By Science Service WINNIPEG, Man. May 7.—Contingent upon the outcome of a complex situation, Canada’s national air network, Trans-Canada Air Lines, will institute a 13-hour VancouverNew York coast-to-coast service by [the spring of 1942, it was indicated lin aviation circles here. Purchase of large four-motored (planes for the rapidly-growing line is inevitable before that date. Route changes which will cut an hour and ‘a half from schedules already are under consideration. This is the {logical program and is known to

be under advisement, though com|pany officials are withholding comment,

Other Lines Affected

T. C. A, which has been carrying passengers only since April 1, 1939, will thus become a “major league” airline and will offer stiff competition to America’s great transcontinental systems. At present T. C. A. operates ten-passenger Lockheeds. United Air Lines, which operates between New York and Pacific coast cities, and Northwest, which flies between Chicago and Seattle and Portland, will be particularly affected. The Canadian line's application to fly between Toronto and New York has been heard by the Civil Aeronautics Authority in Washington and a favorable decision is probable.

Sealed Cabins Needed

Thirty-three-passenger Boein g Stratoliners are most likely as the replacements for the Lockheed 14s now operated. A sealed cabin plane like the Boeing is needed because of the high altitude flying required at the western end of the cross-Canada route. Between Lethbridge, Alberta, and Vancouver, the Canadian Rockies rear their spectacular peaks 12,000 feet and more. The lowest pass, Crowsnest, is 11,000 feet above sea level. During winter months, threefourths of the time, planes have to operate above 12,000 feet and often go as high as 17,500 to miss storms. Mayo Clinic oxygen masks are provided passengers as well as crews. They are safe and adequate but an inconvenience. —————————— HINTS FOOD INDUSTRY PROBE WASHINGTON, May 7 (U. P.) — Assistant Attorney General Thurman H. Arnold said today that the anti-trust division of the Justice Department probably would undertake “a comprehensive prosecution” of trade restraints in the food industry if sufficient funds were available for an investigation.

advantage to the chairmen, because both are engaged in organization fights for re-election. Efforts will be made to speed up the transportation of ballot boxes from outlying precincts by providing taxicabs for election inspectors. When the counting is in full operation, ballots frem 75 precincts will be counted at the same time. All public offices and banks were closed all day and sales of all intoxicating liquors were halted by law between 6 a. m. and 6 p. m,

VOTING IN Precinct 3, Ward 20 (4610 Central Ave.), was delayed 25 minutes because one of the Democratic workers on the Board was too sleepy to arise at such an unaccustomed hour. Finally, at 6:25 a. m., with a dozen muttering voters standing in line, the other members of the Board started the voting. Five minutes later, the belated worker arrived and sheepishly took his place.

THE ELECTION Board telephones were kept hot with frequent calls from the polling places. Many of the calls were of a trivial nature, such as which corner of the ballot the clerks should initial, or whether the pink (G. O. P. ballots should be put in the pink box and the white (Democratic) ballots in the white box. ” = ” VOTERS IN NEARLY every precinct had to run the gauntlet of party workers handing out slates and requesting votes for “our boys.” “I had to pass between a double line of 18 or 20 women, each of them waving sample ballots at me and shoving candidate cards in my pockets,” one voter complained. In many instances, candidates for precinct committeemen and even for major offices stood outside the voting places in their home precincts and asked emerging voters: “Did you take care of me?” The invariable “You bet I did.” = ”

answer was:

In five precincts, officials accidentally “ended” the election before it started. The everzealous board officials padlocked not only the ballot boxes but also the slots where the ballots are stuffed. A team of deputies was sent out to unlock the slots. This is the first year the ballot boxes have contained locks for the slots, Ld = =

CONSIDERING THAT Hoosiers have the reputation of being indefatigable year-around politicians, the man and woman in the streets today were taking the election with what appeared to be a violent calm. Men appeared to be about their business and women about their shopping as usual. Some of the downtown stores delayed opening one hour so that employees could vote. The bars were closed, of course, and the Claypool Lobby, favorite haunt of politicians, was not as well filled as usual. Two elections workers in the 500 block of N. Senate Ave. enlivened the proceedings, and created reputations for showmanship, when they appeared for work in cowboy suits and wore them ‘all day.

ANOTHER TEAM of deputies was sent to Precinct 1, Washington Township (62d St. and Keystone Ave.) on a telephoned com-

AMONG THE first to vote in Precinct 7, Ward 21, was Will H. Smith, U. S. Internal Revenue Collector. Mr. Smith, always an early riser, usually is one of the first to arrive at the Federal Building. Twenty-eight votes had been cast in his precinct—23 Republicans and five Democrats—in the first 15 minutes the polls were open. There are 1475 registered voters in the precinct.

NEW ALLIED THRUSTS IN NORWAY REPORTED

STOCKHOLM, May 7 (U. P.). — Two new Allied thrusts at German forces in Norway were reported today in dispatches to Stockholm. On the far northern front, the Allies were reported by neutral military sources to have fortified a narrow pass between Mosjoen and Narvik in an effort to halt the northward advance of Germans from Trondheim toward Narvik, where some 3500 Germans are beseiged by British, French and Norwegian troops. (In Berlin, the German High Command said that Germans advancing from Trondheim had reached Mosjoen and that German airplanes attacked and dispersed British troops near Narvik, also bombing a British cruiser and flying boat off the port.) Off the south coast of Norway, the newspaper Dagens Nyheter reported, the British have laid a new mine field in an effort to interrupt German sea communications with Norway. The mine fields were laid somewhere off the Swedish coast in the Gothenburg area, where a Swedish fishing boat and a German steamer struck mines yesterday, the dispatch said.

to one and the Democrats also had an edge in Perry County. A late morning threat of rain in La Porte County gave indications of stimulating the rural vote, which was coming in slowly. A heavy rain yesterday kept farmers in Johnson County out of their fields and the farm vote was heavy. Urban balloting was light, however, and more Democratic ballots were being cast than Republican. Light votes were reported from Posey, Dearborn, Morgan, Clay, Wayne, Daviess, Howard, Madison and Union Counties. In the Congressional battles, the Townsend Old-Age Pension Plan and the Ku-Klux Klan are playing roles. Many leaders of these organizations have returned to the political arena.

Klan in Governor Fight

The Townsend organization has indorsed nine Congressional candidates and will support Walter Bossert of Liberty, former Klan leader, for the Republican nomination for the U. S. Senate. Other Klansmen have lined up in the Republican contests for Governor. The Ft. Wayne News-Sentinel brought the Klan issue in the 1940 election to a head in a featured editorial in support of Congressman George W. Gillie of the Fourth District, whom the Townsend organization has not indorsed for renomination. Mentioning Mr. Bossert by name, the News-Sentinel charged that the Klan is attempting to revitalize itself by working into the Townsend pension organization and appealed to the voters to reject such influences which brought the Indiana Klan scandals of the 1920s. The Townsend leaders are in the thick of a terrific battle in the Second District in their attempt to defeat Congressman Halleck for voting against a Townsend Plan bill. Young Landis has Townsend backing.

Emison Foes Active

In the Seventh District there is an underground battle to unhorse the veteran Ewing Emison of Vincennes as Republican district chairman while Democratic factions are choosing sides in the Congressional race between State Senator Charles Bedwell and J. Frank Culbertson. State Chairman Fred Bays reputedly is behind Mr. Bedwell. Six Republican candidates are contesting for the Congressional nomination in the Ninth District for the right to meet the incumbent, Eugene B. Crowe of Bedford, who is unopposed. From the state-wide standpoint, the fun will just begin after the primary when the six Republican candidates for Governor angle for support among the 1937 delegates to the State Convention, with the hopes of all staked on the deals which can be made b May 24 when the nominations are decided.

HEIGHT GOING DOWN, SCIENTIST REPORTS

(Copyright, 1940, by Sclence Service) NEW YORK, May 7—Boys and girls now growing up show a tend-

ency to become less tall than their older brothers and sisters of a few years ago, and also not to become mature men and women at so early an age. Data in support of this contention were submitted to the week-end meeting of the American Association of Physical Anthropologists here by Prof. Clarence A. Mills of the University of Cincinnati. Prof. Mills was inclined to attribute this reversal in the human growth tide to a change in climate toward the warmer, rather than to any differences in the American diet. The tendency for young people of the recent generation to grow tall and mature early, which he said is now reversing itself, has been laid to improved diet. Yet the present generation of college students (on whom the studies have been based) is just as well fed as their taller immediate forebears. “It seems likely that a profound racial change is taking place in hu-

manity, physically as well as socially.

Boy Forgets Usual Caution: Killed in Street by Truck

Five - year -old Arthur Marion Crothers was dead today because he apparently forgot his usual caution In crossing streets. Last night he dashed from between parked cars into the path ot a truck in front of his home at 1010 E Ohio St. He died of head injuries before he could be treated by a physician. Arthur had been playing all aft-

?/ernoon with his brother, Paul, who 8/is 7, and a cousin, Paul Martin, son

of Mrs. Lotus Martin, 1025 E. Ohio

About 5 p. m. his aunt reminded him that it was nearly meal time. He left the house and dashed into the street. A delivery truck driven by Robert Padgett, 20, of 1526 S. Randolph St., struck him. Mr. Padgett stopped the truck almost immediately. A neighbor girl who saw the accident, told Mrs. Rachel Crothers, 30, Arthur’s mother. She ran into the street, gathered the boy in her arms and started for City Hospital in Mr. Padgett’s truck. At Fire Headquarters, Alabama and New York Sts, Mr. Padgett stopped for first aid treatment and firemen discovered the boy was dead. Witnesses to the accident told police that the truck was traveling very slowly, and Mr. Padgett said he did not see the boy. He was not held. Mrs. Crothers, who works occasionally at a restaurant, said that Arthur usually was extremely careful about traffic as a result of almost constant lectures she had given him on the subject. She has one other son, Lyle Jr. 9. It marks the third

Judiciary Committee Pulls Hatch Bill From Pigeon-Hole

(Continued from Page One)

plementary measure in his message signing the first Hatch Act. Republicans are prepared to make

an issue of Democratic apathy toward this reform, and Republicans predominate among the 115 House members who thus far have signed a discharge petition to force the Judiciary Committee to bring the bill to the House floor for a vote. Rep. John J. Dempsey (D., N. M.), House sponsor of the bill, was jubilant at the President's intervention. Chairman Sumners said that the Committee's reversal today put the bill back before the group for further consideration. “The chairman did not vote,” Rep. Sumners said. “He will do that this afternoon.” This referred to the fact that Mr. Sumners plans to make an hour's speech in the House on the Bill late today. Contrary to the secrecy surrounding the original 10-to-14 vote to table last Tuesday, the Committee released a list today of those who voted for and against reviving the bill. Those who voted for it were: Reps. Raymond J. Springer (R. Ind), Emanuel Celler (D. N. Y) Arthur Healey (D. Mass.), Charles

McLaughlin (D. Neb.), Abe Murdock (D. Utah), John H. Tolan (D. Cal), William T. Byrne (D. N. Y.)., Sam Massingale (D., Okla.), U. S. Guyer (R Kas.), Clarence E. Hancock (R. (N. Y.). Earl C, Michener (R. Mich.), John M. Robison (R. Ky.), John W. Gwynne (R. Ia), B. J. Monkiewicz (R. Conn.). Those who voted against the motion were: Reps. Zebulon Weaver (D. N. ), Francis E. Walter (D. Pa.), Sam Hobbs (D. Ala.), Edward W. Creal (D. Ky.), Dave Satterfield (D. Va.), James M. Barnes (D. Ill), Ben Gibbs (D. Ga.), Estes Kefauver (D. Tenn.), Chauncey W. Reed (R. Ill.), Louis Graham (R. Pa.) and Albert L. Vreeland (R. N. J.). Mr. Sumners said the next committee meeting would be on Thursday, but he did not know whether there would be further consideration then of the Hatch bill. No amendments have been considered, he said. The committee action presumably superseded the discharge petition. Hoosiers believed to have signed the petition included Democrat Louis Ludlow and Republicans Robert R. Grant, Noble J. Johnson, George W. Gillie and Gerald Landis.

U. 3. RESCINDS SOME ITALIAN SILK DUTIES

WASHINGTON, May 7 (U. P.).— The Treasury Department today rescinded part of the countervailing duties which it has levied for the past nine months against silk goods from Italy. Last August the Treasury found that exports of silk goods from Italy were subsidized by the Italian Government. Therefore penalty duties were assessed to neutralize the advantage the subsidy would gain for the goods in the American market. Today’s order, based on a finding that certain subsidies no longer exist, exempted woven materials, velvets, ribbons, tulles, crepes, knit goods and hosiery from payment of the countervailing duties.

The penalties will remain in effect however, against raw silk yarns, silk waste yarns, yarns of combings, silk sewing thread and other silk goods.
