an, defeated Ira Haymaker Jr. for Joint State Representative from Marion and Johnson Counties by a margin of 949. In the Senate race, Robert Lee Brokenburr, Republican, trailed E. Curtis White, whose vote was the lowest of the successful candidates, by 287 votes. Mr. Green won the joint Senatorship from John Bright Webb, Democratic incumbent, by a margin of 3098. Prosecutor Lewis said he would reserve his decision on a possible { recount until tomorrow when the canvassing board figures are completed. He said his own unofficial tabulation gave him a slight lead over Mr. Blue,

Bradford: No Comment

James L. Bradford, Republican county chairman, said the results were so close that he would await the official figures before making -any comment on possible recounts. | Democratic Chairman Ira Haymaker could not be Teached for com- | ment. It was reported at the Court | House that the two party organ- | izations might be asked to finance Jointly recounts of all close races, | both Republican and Democratic. In his request for a recount, Mr. ' Beveridge said: “I have just seen the unofficial | returns of the election and I am | astounded. In view of the wide divergence in the final vote, will | definitely ask for a recount. I believe in our democratic way of life | so strongly that if I must lose I must go down fighting.” Mr. Beveridge said he was unable to understand how he trailed the _ Marion County candidates for State ' | Senator in the election when he was nominated in the primary by the highest vote received by any Senatorial candidate, Democratic or Republican. Mr. Green led Mr. Webb for the joint Senator post both in Marion and Johnson Counties. The vote in Marion County was: Green, 124,707, and Webb, 121,758. In Johnson County it was Green, 6263, and Webb, 6104.

EASY GO, FIRST-LADY SAYS OF HER INCOME

WASHINGTON, Nov. 7 (U.P) .— Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt said to-| day that she has nothing to show— | in a monetary sense—for her eight] vears in the White. House and she doesn’t anticipate any increase in fortune during the next four. She said she had made a great | deal of money in the last few years, but it was a sort of an easy come, easy gO proposition. She announced that there will be no diplomatic reception at the White House this year because many of the nations of the world are involved in war. Noné was held last-year for the same reason.

bers of the family know where.

And they won't tell. First of all, Mr. Willis is taking|

a long rest. He and Mrs. Willis) have a lot to talk over, planning] for the new life at the capital. | Senator-elect Willis has no definite plans for himself in Washington. He wants to associate himself with the Republican bloc of Sena- | tors represented by Senator Robert | A. Taft of Ohio and Senator Charles L. McNary of Oregon. | With these men, Mr. Willis hopes | to do his part in helping the nation | “return to the old way of free en- | terprise.” ‘He believes that the! American system of free enterprise | should be modified to guarantee | social security, but he thinks | “essential values of free enterprise | should be preserved.” “The Government,” he said, “cannot, continue to support large masses Of people. People must! progress by their own efforts.” Specifically, he is going to work toward an anti-third-term law that will limit the office of President to eight consecutive years. He said he supports President Roosevelt's stand against sending American soldiers overseas and added he would oppose any attempt to force the nation into any ‘undeclared war.”

Smoke? No Thanks

Short, stocky, with a shock of iron gray hair, Mr. Willis wore his customary blue suit this morning, with a white shirt and dark necktie. He declined proffers of cigarets from his friends. He doesn’t smoke. “My people were strict Presbyterians and I didn’t dare smoke at home,” he said. “Later on, I never | had money for tobacco and now 1! don’t care to smoke.” For breakfast, the new Senator | likes doughnuts and coffee. Yes, he | dunks. And he reads his newspaper | at the breakfast table, although he confesses he has never found a satisfactory method of propping it up: | Reserved, sometimes shy, he rare- | ly gets excited, never loses his temp- | er. If he gets angry, he just doesn't! say anything. When he’s impatient, he talks in clipped, sentences. He| likes to shake hands with people, !

but he doesn’t care for back-slap-

“You know,” he confided, “I liked | | this election campaign. audiences where some were against me because I thought I could convince them. But I don't like campaigns for nomination. There's too {much personal ambition in them.” | Mr. Willis recalls only one “in-! cident” in his campaign. That's when he appeared at a factory to shake hands with the men. One man gripped his hand cordially. When he left, grinning, Mr. Willis found a blob of heavy grease in the palm of his hand. He wiped the grease off with his handkerchief and said nothing. “I guess,” he said, “you've got to expect a prank or two.”

However, until the Legislature acts, Mr. Schricker, under the present laws, will be able to appoint all the deputies in the offices of | Auditor, Treasurer, Secretary of | State and Superintendent of Public Instruction. The Democratic employees will be { working for Republican bosses.

The New Lineup

The new lineup of Republican State officials, if the official returns support unofficial figures, will be:

JAMES M. TUCKER, of Paoli, reelected Secretary of State. JAMES GIVENS, of Porter, State easlrer. . RICHARD T. JAMES, of Portland, State Auditor. DR. C. T. MALAN, of Terre Haute, Superintendent of Public Instruction. FRANK N. RICHMAN, of lumbus, Supreme Court Judge. DAN CC. FLANAGAN, of Ft. Wayne, and Edgar M. Blessing of Danville, Appellate Court Judges. MRS. MARJORIE KINNAIRD, Indianapolis, Supreme and Appellate Court Reporter. There is a possibility, however, that complete, official returns may dislodge some of the Republicans, but the trends of unofficial tabulations indicate all will be elected. Senator Minton, who campaigned entirely as a 100 per cent New Dealer, was defeated by Raymond E, Willis, Angola publisher. Senator Minton is assistant majority leader in the Senate.

Hoosier.” He has never been farther south than Kentucky. He went as far west as Denver, Colo., once when he was a young man and has been East to New York and Boston. His interests during his entire 57 years of life have been centered in Indiana. When he returns from his vacation, he plans to start forming his official family, getting ready for the inauguration and planning his first message to the legislature. He doesn’t plan any startling changes in government during his administration. His goal, he says, is a business-like administration with no new taxes and a balanced budget —and “we're going to have that,” he declares. ‘The only entirely new piece of legislation on which he has his heart set at present is to get a free textbook system into operation. He said he wouldn't recommend that the program be completed in one year but that he would like to get it started at soon as possible. ‘He says he will co-operate with the Legislature in making such adjustments in the gross income tax law as would do justice to all of the people, particularly the retailer, but that he would be “disturbed by any

the legislative branch is the most important branch of government. Mr. Schricker = characteristically exhibited no great jubilation over his election, the honor being made even greater by the fact that he was the first Governor elected since 1908 in the face of a Presidential majority in the state for another party. “I am very grateful, of course, to the people of Indiana for this great honor,” he said. “My only pledge is the same one I made during the campaign, and that is to make every effort possible to provide the best of government for the people of our state.” When asked to explain why he was elected in the face of the Republican Presidential majority, Mr. Schricker said that ‘‘the majority of the people still were satisfied with the kind of government the Democratic Party had given them during the past eight years and...” A party official who was with Mr. Schricker in the headquarters in the Claypool Hotel interrupted: “The truth, Henry, is that the people believed in you and liked you, that's all.” The Governor-elect is very slender, weighing only 140 pounds. He is slightly more than five feet nine inches tall. He [wears doublebreasted suits, most of them pinstriped. He has been a grocery clerk, lawyer, fire chief, weekly newspaper editor and publisher, a bank cashier, a State Senator and Lieutenant Governor.

PREDICT INCOME OF 75 BILLION

November and December Expected to Be Same As in 1939.

NEW YORK, Nov. 7 (VU. P.).— National income produced in the United States will top the $75,000,000,000 mark this year for the first time since 1929, the Alexander Hamilton Institute, Inc., predicted today. In 1939 the nation produced a total income. of $69,378,000,000, while the boom year 1929 saw a record income of $82,885,000,000. The institute indicated that November and December will show little change from the corresponding 1939 levels but asserted that the current stable price situation and booming industrial activity point to a highly favorable com-

parison for the full year. September income, the institute said, increased for the fifth consecutive month, reaching a new high for the month since 1929 at $7,018,000,000. hat compared with $6,659,000,000 in September of last year and was only slightly below the 1929 peak of $7,502,000,000. For the first nine months of the year, it added, - national income amounted to $54,141,000,000 against $48,175,000,000 in the same period of 1939. On the basis of preliminary information, the institute estimated that the national income increased further during October, but expressed doubt that the October showing would be much better than in the same month of last year when the domestic economy was stimulated by the first rush of European war orders.

N.Y. PUBLISHING FIRM RAISES STAFF WAGES

NEW YORK: Nov. 7 (U, P).— Walter J. Black, president of a publishing house, announced today a

10 per cent pay increase for each of his 50 employees “because President Roosevelt was re-elected.” “I am doing this to set'an example,” he said. “My business has been better in the last few years than it has ever been before. “I am sick and tired of the way businessmen act and talk about Franklin Roosevelt. Most of them have thrived under him just as I have.” A notice of the wage increase, retroactive to Nov. 1, was placed on the firm’s bulletin board.

BABSON SENDS F. D. R. HIS CONGRATULATIONS

WELLESLEY, Mass, Nov. 7 (U. P.).—Roger W. Babson, noted economist and unsuccessful candidate for President of the United States on the Prohibition ticket, today wired President Roosevelt: ; “Hearty congratulations, A defeated statistician, however, humbly reminds you that 1 per cent of the vote properly allocated would have elected Wendell Willkie. Therefore you will work for.coalition both with Republicans and minority parties. Please keep well. Four great years are ahead.”

Fright Gives Way to Thrill

TWO BOYS, aged 3 and 5, got a graphic lesson in cause and effect today. The older boy climbed onto the tricycle of the younger boy, reached up and pulled a fire alarm at Laurel and Orange Sts. Then they settled down to see what would happen. When those fire engines roared up, both boys became frightened and they departed suddenly for their respective homes. Patrolman Harry Kernodle, who saw them in flight, followed and urged their parents to lecture them sternly.

BURKE LEADS IN KANSAS TOPEKA, Kas., Nov. 7 (U. P.).— William H. Burke of Little River held a slight lead over Payne H. Ratner in the Kansas Governor's race today with almost complete unofficial returns tabulated. The lead

of Mr. Burke, DD ourats ‘was slight

ter there, according to a dispatch from London that indicated the church migh be one of the best known in the world, such as St. Paul's or Westminster. The British claimed five German raiders were shot down today while Berlin said Germany’s air force attacked London several times to down three British aircraft with the loss of only one Nazi plane. It also was claimed that four convoys were bombed “successfully.”

Hint Rome May Be Attacked

A hint that Rome might not be considered immune to British air attacks was given in the House of Commons. Parliamentary Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs Richard A. Butler said that the Government had taken note of the Italian statement that Italian men and aircraft had participated in the bombing of London. The British Government, Mr, Butler continued, “must accordingly reserve full liberty of action with regard to Rome.” The Balkan conflict intensified speculation on a possible German thrust into the southeast in support of the Italian offensive. London sources, which recently claimed that about 70 German divisions were in position for possible service in the Balkans, heard that the number of Nazi troops in Rumania had been increased to seven or eight divisions ‘(from 80,000 to 120,000 men) in the last two weeks. This force, it was pointed out, would be able to aid the Italians, to occupy Bulgaria or to move against the Turks, who were busy today arresting Axis spies.

Axis Ponders Next Step

The next step in the Axis offensive, however, appeared likely to depend on the outcome of military developments in Greece and Albania and perhaps in Africa, where the British reported the recapture of tne key city of Gallabat. The Gallabat base, taken earlier by Italy, is in the Sudan, just across the frontier from Ethiopia. The Rome High Command previously had reported 'that Italian forces there repulsed British attacks but today's official statement at Cairo said that the British held the base and had repulsed Fascist attempts to re-take it. The communique also reported British attacks in the Kassala “sector, in the Sudan, opposite Italian Eritrea. Thus the British seemed to be taking the offensive in Africa in an effort to crush the main Fascist power in an area that cannot easily be supplied from Italy.

Japan Shortens Defense Lines

The Japanese news agency, Domei indicated that Tokyo was facing southward when it carried a dispatch from Hanoi saying that Japan was. protesting against the activity

iof hostile elements in southern areas {of French Indo-China.

These hostile elements were described as Americans, Britons, Chinese and followers of the ‘free France” movement, The Japanese charges were of particular interest because Japan recently has pulled many military units out of southern Chinese areas
