BOEHNE BACKED ADJOURNMENT

Only Hoosier in Congress to Vote ‘Aye’; VanNuys Wants to Go Home.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.—Rep. John W. Boehne Jr. Evansville Democrat, was the only Hoosier in the House to vote in faver of adjournment, the roll call showed today. The adjournment motion was lost 191 to 148. Rep. Louis Ludlow, Indianapolis Democrat, both voted and spoke against adjournment. Another Democrat, Rep. William T. Schulte, voted against the adjournment motion, but two Democrats were absent. Rep. William H. Larrabee is ill at his home in New Palestine. Rep. Eugene B. Crowe, recently defeated, is on a junket to Panama. “My vote was a vote of confidence in President Roosevelt and the Democrat Party,” Rep. Boehne explained today. “I see no reason” why any Democrat should help the Republicans continue the recent campaign in which they were defeated.”

Some Disappointed

Both Reps. Ludlow and Schulte urged that, Congress should: remain in session because of the war emergency. Rep. Schulte added this explanation of his opposition to the Democratic leadership: “I also wanted to show that the Republican Congressmen and not

U. S. CONSIDERS AID TO GREEGE

Any Help Must Come From This Country’s Share of Of Arms Output.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20 (U. P.).— Any immediate aid to Greece probably will have to come out of this country’s share of its armament production, defense officials said today. The United States and Great Britain are sharing the output of American war supplies on a 50-50 basis. Defense officials said that Britain could not afford to relinquish any materials it is buying here, despite its close relationship with Greece.

Consider Request

Acting Secretary of State Sumner Welles said yesterday that this Government is giving “sympathetic consideration” to a Greek request for airplanes and munitions. Defense officials interpreted that as meaning that the United States is contemplating making available to Greece production facilities which are now turning out materials for the Army and Navy. Officials of the Priorities Board said they had not yet received such a request from the State Department but that it would be given prompt action. What materials could be made available to Greece was a matter of conjecture. Experts said there was no uniformity in the type of equipment, particularly ordnance, possessed by the Greek Army. It has British, German and Italian artillery which would complicate efforts to buy shells here.

Raw Materials Ready

The United States. could make some raw materials, such as aluminum and tungsten, available and also might be able to provide some machine tools, officials said. What Greece needs immediately, officials said, are fabricated materials, machine guns, small arms ammunition and planes. These imight very well be supplied. It {might be possible to let the Greeks Ihave some of the planes being built for the U. 8S. Army Air Corps or some of those ordered by other foreign countries. There is a 200-plane order placed by Sweden with a West Coast aircraft factory that has not yet been filled. ;

Mr. Harris advised leaders that if our present form of democracy is to be preserved, children must think correctly. ; “Among the vital forces in helping develop good citizens is the church,” he said. “The Scout movement cooperates with churches and encourages troop and church activity as a combined plan.”

FAIL TO DECIDE ON STATE PATRONAGE

Times Special WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.—Fred F. Bays, Democratic State Chairman, flew back to Indianapolis today after two days of political patronage conferences here, with no final decisions announced. After calling on Presiient Roosevelt with Senator Sherman Minton yesterday, Mr. Bays was a dinner guest last night of Federal Security Administrator Paul V. McNutt. Speculation continues regarding the possible appointment which Senator Minton, who failed of reelection, is expected to receive from President’ Rogsevelt. : The Senator's own preference is for the Federal Bench. Postmaster General, Presidential aid, Governor of Puerto Rico, all have been mentioned as possibilities for the Hoosier Senator. Senator Frederick VanNuys says that he will support his colleague for any post. Both Senators expect to reach an agreement soon on a possible successor to Will H. Smith as collector of internal revenue at Indianapolis and the new U. S. District Attorney there. Candidates for these posts were discussed in conferences with Mr. Bays. Glenn VanAuken, Indianapolis attorney, for collector and Clarence Donovan, Bedford, for District Attorney, are rated favorites.

G. 0. P. LEADERS SPUR CONGRESS

Jubilant Over | Defeat of Adjournment; Ask Action On Logan Bill.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20 (U. P.). —Juoilant Republican Congressional leaders who mustered the coalition vote against adjournment of Congress called today for action on the Waiter-Logan bill and amendments to the National Labor Relations Act. . Botn have passed | the House, but were stymied by New Deal leaders in the Senate. The Walter-Logan bill, which the Senate may take up Friday, would sxojtet rulings and regulations of quasi-judicial agencies to judicial review. Amendments to the labor act were uratted after an investigation of complaints by the American Federation of Labor and by employers. Democratic Congressional leaders are off to a bad start as a prelude to President Roosevelt's third term with a Congress on their hands for which neither they mor the White House has a program. It was the second Administration effort to wave Congress home, but in this latter one| Mr. Roosevelt said he was strictly neutral. Rep. Thomas F. Ford (D. Cal) warned the House that it would be an “insult” to the President to refuse to adjourn, : House Minority Leader Joseph W.

SCHOOL SYSTEM T0 ‘PROBE’ SELF

Council Seeks to Learn Truth of Charges Against High School Values.

In an effort to appraise the value of a public school education, the Indiana Council on Education will undertake an investigation of current charges against the system. The investigation will seek to find the truth about such charges as: “High school fits the pupils neither for citizenship nor highér education”; “High school students can’t spell;” “Students aren’t trained as well as they were 20 years ago,” and others. The decision to explore these charges was made yesterday by the Council when it met in the ce of DeWitt S. Morgan, superintendent {of Indianapolis public schools.

Seek CoA The Council expects to enlist the aid of college and university faculties in the research, and to publish the facts diseovered. “The idea back of this program at the present time is essentially this— there is much discussion as tc the failure of the schools to achieve results, said Mr. Morgan, who also is president of the Council. , “There are loosely stated allegations that the pupils of the high schools are not vrepared either for citizenship or for higher preparation. At the present time it is difficult to assemble evidence as to the degree to which this is true. These allegations either should be supported or they should be disproved, because the cause of education is very much at stake.

Committee Planned

“In the past our programs of research have been largely in the direction of investigation of material developments in the schools—buildings, unit costs, budgetary increases. It seems desirable for us to have another trend — evidence of real achievement.” Mr. Morgan was empowered by the Council to appoint a steering committee to set the plan in operation.
