Neither Desires to Become Director of Streamlined Party Setup.

Times Special 7 WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.—Neither Senator. Sherman Minton nor Federal Security Administrator Paul V. McNutt will take the suggested executive directorship of ‘the proposed

“streamlined” Democratic . Party, they asserted today. :

It was reported here that while Edward J. Flynn of New York would remain as National Chairman, an . €Xxecutive director would be established here to give full time to party Srganisatioy affairs. Names suggested for post included the two Hoosiers and Oscar Chapman, Assistant Secretary of the Interior.

Senator Minton said today that the matter never had been discussed with him and that he was not interested in such a position. ¢ “My experience has been-in law ‘and legislation and I know very little about. party organization affairs,” he said. “The idea of such a setup may be all right but not for me »

Mr. McNutt tool somewhat the same view although he admitted the matter had been discussed at conferences in New York City. He said that Mr. Chapman had had such experience in Colorado and in the campaign just closed was.in charge of the West Coast organization with headquarters at San Francisco. Since Mr. McNutt may be a Presidential candidate in 1944, he would not want the party post, it was pointed out. McNutt backers long “criticized Jim Farley for -holding the National Chairmanship and running for President at the same time. ‘

toto. The Governor will be left Governor in name only. This rumor remains entirely and completely unconfirmed. No responsible Republican will answer any questions concerning it. 2. The Republicans intend to

amend the Reorganization Act to take all appointive power away from the Governor and put it in the hands of a commission. Interesting, say some Republicans, but who said it? ~ Will Power Be Divided?

3. The Republicans and Demdcrats are trying to get together to work out some sort of arrangement, with Schricker getting power over this and that department and the G. O. P. taking the others. Why should we? ask G. O. P. leaders. No comment, say Democrats. 4. The two parties have already sounded each other out and laid the groundwork. ' Never heard of such a thing, both parties say. - But, nevertheless, the No. 1 rumor in Indiana today seemed to center on one point: Mr. Schricker is reported to have met with important G. O. P. chieftains. Where the meeting was held and what was said remains a mystery, according to the gossip. Some political followers see in the runor some basis of logic. They declare that it would be unseemly for the G. O. P. to rip into the administrative laws, that some amicable working deal must be worked out to insure four years of harmony. : Will They Deal? These observers say that under a four-year hostility basis, the Governor would be unable to leave the State-for fear of an opposition party Lieutenant Governor sliding into his seat to guide his party’s fortunes. The nubbin of it all boils down to: Will Schricker and the Republicans deal? ~ ) Politicians who claim to know say yes.”

Thomas, the bureau’s tax and legislation director, said that the State gains title to much of this land when it is abandoned and taxes or it become delinquent.) 5. A law changing the setup of common school, Congressional school and permanent endowment funds, whereby taxpayers may be saved from $750,000 to $1,000,000 each year by eliminating inefficient operation of the law as it is at pres-

ent. 6. Equitable distribution of all state-wide collected funds, including state highway, gross income tax, excise and other revenune. 7. Standardization of lard so quality may ke improved and the public may be insured of securing the same quality commodity regardless of where the purchase may be made.

8. A prohibitive filled milk law. (Mr. Thomas said that some condensed milk is made now from milk from which the butterfat is taken out and cocoanut oil substituted. The butterfat, he said, is made into butter, thus “flooding” that market.) 9. Continuation of the AAA. program with whatever adjustment and improvements may be necessary to make it operate more efficiently. 10. Continuation of the Farm Security Administration. 11. Continuation of interest rates on a basis comparable with other industries.’ (This resolution concerns loans in various forms from the Government). 12, Retention of forest service as a bureau in the Department of Agriculture (instead of in the Department of Interior). : 13. No expansion in agricultural production because of the European war, because we have great surpluses of farm commodities on hand at present. 14. Any assistance granted foreign countries be limited to materials and under no conditions shall the Federal Government use armed force except in cases’of invasion. "In general, Mr. Thomas said the bureau’s program for the next year was to retain the gains it already

has made and to aid in the improvement of poor relief as to ad-

ministration and distribution.

On the resolutions committee are Fred Suhre, Columbus, chairman; Luther Blinn, Star City; Lester Boger, Auburn; Arthur Arnott, Rensselaer; Howard Adler, Sharpsville; Virgil Merritt, Crawfordsville;

Drake, Fairbanks; Leon Johnson, Orleans, and S. J. Breer, Vallonia. This afternoon’s program was planned and conducted by the Indiana Rural Youth Organization under the direction of William Bruner, second vice president of the bureau.

May Fight Sales Tax

Before the convention opened, there was talk among the €elegates of passing resolutions urging a nonpolitical national unity and of opposition to the sales tax.

Other legislative changes urged by Mr. Schenck in his address included the increasing of the amount of payments by the State to local governmental units to relieve local property tax rates; discontinuance of the present practice of diverting part of the motor vehicle fund to purposes other than Yoad maintenance, and the drafting of a new re-assessment law. Commenting on the Bureau's national policy, Mr. Schenck said in part: “1 should like ‘to direct your attention for a few minutes toward our national legislative program.

The Agricultural Adjustment Act,

enacted in February, 1938, has been the subject of many bitter attacks. The destructive critics of this program can be divided into two class= es: Those who wish to profit at the expense of the farmers’ labors, and those who are not informed as to what the Agricultural Adjustment Act is and what it proposes to do. You have heard it referred to as a program of scarcity.

vulnerahle if the attacking planes are allowed to reach their targets. The British success, however, must be .attributed primarily to th~ aparent lack of efficiently operated Italian fighting planes. The Taranto engagement shows the vital ne-

cessity of protecting naval bases with defense planes capable of driving off attacking squadrons or keeping them so high in the air that the targets became confused. Simultaneously with announcement of the British success in the Mediteranean comes the official British report of the attack in midAtlantic by the armed British merchantman Jervis Bay ‘against an armored German raider, allowing 29. British ships out of a total convoy of 37 to escapet The courage of the Jervis Bay, not protected Ry armor, but engaging a German warship at close range and fighting until she sank in flames shows the morale of British seamen is fully the equal of British aviators. The safe arrival in British ports of 80 per cent of the convoy .disproves the German claim of last week that the entire convoy had been destroyed. There is every reason to accept the British version rather than the German. Not only

do the British details seem convincing but also past experience has shown that though the ‘British Admiralty sometimes conceals facts for strategic reasons it does not faly sify its public announcements. The British people would not tolerate any such deceptions. Virginio Gayda, Italy’s unofficial spokesman, writing today, states that “the decisive war against England’s Empire is essentially naval.” This assertion is absolutely true, but it must have, been written before Signor. Gayda had heard of the Taranto engagement and .the way the Jervis Bay saved joe British convoy. It is unfortunate for Germany that the two incidents, at sea, sO favorable to Great Britain, together with Signor Gayda’s confession, come at the moment when Jommis-

sar Molotov is in Berlin. He can-

not fail to weigh the new facts against whatever Axis assurances are given him concerning the’ future outcome of the war. fhe Russians have shown realism and strict impersonality in judging the various developments of the war. It is not to be supposed they will neglect to take serious note of the sudden sffengthening of British Mediterranean power and the difficulty of reconciling German claims of crippling Britain by convoy sinkings with the actual facts.

Remove the crop adjustment feature of the Agricultural Adjustment Act and commodity loans would be impractical. Remove the ever-normal granary, and there would be such a surplus of commodities dumped on the mrkets as would create a panic in trrade circles. “Criticism was hurled at the old Triple A because of certain imports following the droughts of '34 and ‘36. The ever-normal granary is a guarantee against the recurrence of such a condition.”

127 STICKER EVADERS® "ARE DUE FOR 4OLT’

There are 127 drivers in Indianapolis who may think they have successfully avoided paying a parking sticker but who, Capt. Leo Troutman says, are due for a jolt. These drivers ignored the stickers when they received them. They moved from one neighborhood to another. Thus the warrants for their rearrest could not be served. But police have lists of their license numbers and when ‘the ears are sighted in the streets, they will be towed into a garage. The owners will have to pay the ticket ($2) PY the towing charge (usually
