NEW YORK, Oct. 4 (U. P.).—Al Smith did his best, literally speaking, yesterday to keep up with the Joneses, The Joneses, from Peterstown, W. Va,. had only one request to make of the City of New York when they arrived here, complete with 15 Sons, two grandparents, and a double handful of toothbrushes. They wanted to meet Al Smith.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

At the State House—

CHARLESTOWN T0 BE ‘GUINEA PIG’ FOR NATION

First Small City to Get Arms Plant Becomes ‘Yardstick.’

By EARL RICHERT

The prospect of houses and busi=ness buildings being put up helterskelter in the booming hamlets of Charlestown and Union Center is giving national and state housing authorities considerable worry these days. Charlestown, they say, will serve as a sort of a yardstick. It is the first little town in the nation at which a major national defense plant has been located-—the Government’s $25,000,000 smokeless powder factory. Other little towns, selected as sites for defense plants in the future, will probably follow the pattern set at Charlestown. So they want to see that Charlestown grows up “right.”

Ask Full-Time Expert

The first two steps in this direction have already been taken. A committee, which met in Chicago last week, has asked the National Defense Council to appoint a person to serve as a full-time coordinator to handle all problems relating to housing and zoning at Charlestown and Union Center. And the National Resources Planning Board has been asked to assign a planning consultant to the regional office here. Attending the Chicago meeting were H. ‘Everet Kincaid, regional land plan consultant of the Federal Housing Administration; Jacob Crane, assistant defense housing coordinator for the National Defense Council; Walter E. Stanton, executive secretary of the Indiana Housing Board; T. A. Moynahan, president of the State Housing Board, and L. V. Sheridan, regional director of the National Resources Plan-

|ning Board.

Housing Project Talked

Another step “in the wind,” but about which no one will talk officially, is the construction of a huge government housing project at Charlestown. One official said that such a project is the only reasonable solution to the housing problem there. Real estate dealers are cautious about developments in the town because of the prokability that the plant will be shut down after the coming of peace or completion of the national defense program. Many of the 6000 workers in the lant will : probably find houses across the Ohio River in Louisville, Ky., only 15 minutes away by automobile. # 2 2

Study Riverside Bus Route

The Public Service Commission is studying a petition of the Peoples Motor Coach Co. to reroute the Riverside - Veterans Hospital bus line down Capitol Ave. from 30th St. The bus now uses Alabama and Delaware Sts. Company officials explain that the change would ease the traffic situation on Alabama and Delaware Sts., now used by four buses. A few persons along the route oppose the change because it would make them walk farther to reach the new line. ” 2 ”

Wisconsin to Hear Townsend

Governor Townsend, who last week made speeches for the Democratic Party in Iowa and Nebraska, will speak at a five-state labor meeting at Milwaukee, Wis, Saturday. Senator Robert La Follette (Prog. Wis.) also will be on the program. ” t-4 ”

Dr. Ferree Favored

Dr. John W. Ferree, Marion, is receiving the support of several prominent state doctors and politicians to succeed Dr. Verne K. Harvey as director of the State Health Board. He is known to be Dr. Harvey's choice as his successor. Dr. Ferree is chief of the Bureau of Local Health Administration of the State Health Board. He has been summoned to confer Saturday with Governor Townsend and Lieut. Gov. Henry F. Schricker, the Democratic gubernatorial nominee. Unless some hitch develops his appointment will likely be made Monday, it is reported.

REALTORS TO STUDY DEFENSE HOUSING

The property management division of the Indianapolis Real Estate Board is going to attack the problem of defense housing. At its meeting this week a committee was named to study the local housing picture in order to prepare for any shortage which might occur because of expanding industries here. William N. Waltermire, division chairman, appointed Ralph Hueber, Robert Kershaw and William Keller to the committee which will work with the Board's housing committee headed by Paul L. McCord.

Forgot Mother

When 2-year-old Clarice Berman, tiny war refugee who traveled all the way from England by herself, got to New York, she didn’t recognize her mother, Mrs. Bronislaw Berman, whom she hadn’t seen in six months. They are pictured reunited at LaGuardia Field.

VICHY HAS HARD CHOICE TO MAKE

Wants U. S. Favor but Must Ask Nazis to Let Us Have Planes.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4 (U. P.).— The United States’ efforts to repossess about 100 airplanes sold to France and now immobilized | at Martinique may require more time than it would to make a similar number of new planes.

President Roosevelt was reported to have hinted to the French Ambassador, Gaston Henry Haye, that relations between this Government and the Vichy regime might be materially improved if the planes could be returned. The Ambassador was understood to have referred | the matter to his Government. Mr. Roosevelt thereby put the Vichy Government literally on the spot. The French Government, presumably, has little use for | the planes, even if it could get them to Prance. It cannot get them so long as British naval vessels mairitain their blockade of Martinique. But terms of the French-German and French-Italian armistices, forbid France to dispose of any military equipment. Since it is the understanding here that the Vichy regime must obtain the consent of Germany before making any decisions in foreign affairs which might affect the outcome of the war, it was be-| lieved Mr. Roosevelt had posed a

-| very difficult question to Vichy.

It is known that the British purchasing mission here would like to have the planes, which are understood to be the fighter type, and

bombing planes.
