‘The New Ships

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.—Social gains of one sort will be. thrown overboard in building the 200 ocean ships which President Roosevelt announ¢ed Friday. To bring down their cost and increase their speed of construction, the builders will cut out the recreation rooms, the ‘snack bars, the shaving lights beside the mirrors in the crew quarters and the plugs for, electric razors. Must be a real emergeney, mates. It’s hard to guess what the maritime unions will do if their members have to sail on these ships, considering the frequent accusations that the leadership is already dominated by Reds. There are strong reasons for believing, though, that these ships are designed chiefly for the British. Greater savings are to be made - in doing without or simplifying such fitments as the emergency steering gear, the radio equipment and fireproofing. Most of the savings are to be accomplished in the way of standardizing steel work and machinery, installing engines of lower power and returning to cruder hull shapes which sacrifice speed in navigation to speed in construction.

Designed for Convoys

The Maritime Commission has been paying around $300 a ton for ‘those ships it has been contracting for, the C-1 type, which nearest approximate the size of the 200 identical vessels in the new program. According to- figures given out by the President the other day, the new ships will cost between $200 and $235 a ton. The saving would be a fifth to a third. President Roosevelt said the new accelerated program was being undertaken in view of a world shortage of shipping after the war, but evidence that the ships would be available, alternately, for operating in

THERE ARE SIGNS THAT Governor Schricker is becoming a little riled over the antics of Republican legislators. So far, he has kept his silence.

And so have his closest friends. “Youll have to see Mr» Schricker about that” has been their byword at the State House. And Mr. Schricker has been seen but not heard. Now he’s beginning 0 fight back. He's not slugging in the open yet—but he may any day. As an indication, he is considering giving up his proposed trip to Washington for President Raosevelt’s inauguration late this month—*“They might move my desk out before I could get back,” he smiles. All hopes for some kind of a “deal” apparently have been swamped under the old-line G. O. P. cry of “no appeasement.” The word now is that the Republican high command has ordered “take it all, boys.” When Mr. Schricker heard that one of the G.O.P. “moderates” had secretly been urging a clean sweep of the State House patronage (including even the. Governor's office help), he was pretty bitter. Then he said wryly: “Well, that would give: me more time for fishing. And also for talking to Indiana’s voters.”

Another New Defense Plant?

ments of new defense industry sites here. Maybe it’s connected with the Army plant Governor Townsend mentioned a few weeks ago... . .

Washington

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.—Undoubtedly one of the purposes of Harry Hopkins in his forthcoming visit to London will be to size up the confused situation with regard to British war aims. Does England intend to try to defeat the Nazis on the continent, or only to turn them back at the Channel and then try to call it quits? Ab this distance, we know there are differences” in England but it is difficult to! weigh the whole situa_tion at long range. Prime Minister Churchill has thus far avoided, specific discussion of war aims, trying to foeus all interest on turning back Hitler's expected invasion attempt. Among British Conservatives is noted a leaning toward a policy that would try to confine the : Nazis to continental Europe and be content to save the Empire and its trade routes, This policy would eliminate the idea of carrying the war to the continent, or of even trying to precipitate ‘Hitler's overthrow by revolutionary agitation in Germany and among the conquered peoples. E- n tJ

Labor Would End Naziism

Essentially this policy would pick up again where Chamberlain left it at Munich, thinking that he had saved the situation by giving Hitler a free hand in eastern Europe. Under this policy, England presumably would be ready to. talk peace as soon as it}! had successfully resisted Hitler's invasion attempt, and would be primarily interested in bringing the war to an end with British seapower still dominant, without much regard to the settlement terms for the. contis nen In the British Socialist Labor movement is a quite’ different viewpoint. It aims at the overthrow of Naziism and Fascism in Europe. It would seek to replace Fascism with Socialism and to establish Sc cialism in England as part of the whole movement, This policy looks toward giving support of every kind ‘to anti-Fascist forces in the conquered countries, 10

My Day

WASHINGTON, Monday. -- We have just come back from the Capitol, where we listened to the President deliver his message to Congress. Of neces: sity, a message to Congress is in fairly general terms, It cannot specify all the ways and means by which certain objectives are to be accom - plished. I felt, however, that ii this message, our national objec: tives were fairly clearly stated, and some of the details which will have to be later put into legislative form by Congress, were at least plainly indicated. It did not seem to me that anything in this message was Of more interest to the Democrafs than to the Republicans. On| the whole, while there might later be some difference of opinion as {in the methods of carrying out the, objectives, there seemed to be nothing that members of Congress of all parties could not accept as representing their stand in relation to the interests ot their country. ¢ Therefore, I was not only astonished but saddened, to notice that the applause came almost entirely fr¢ a the Democrats and only a few noticeable exceptions on the Republican side raised a hand in approval at 3t-any point.

STUDY HOUSING PROBLEM NEAR ORDNANCE SITE

Plan Boards Will Act to Control Development Of Irvington.

For the first time in its history, Indianapolis today -faced a zoning problem arising out of the proposed construction of a huge national defense industry. ‘city officials have watched other

cities make adjustments to accommodate war industries. Today, they themselves took steps to control residential development anticipated as the result of the location of the proposed $6,000,000 Naval Ordnance Plant off Arlington Ave, between 16th and 2]1st Sts. To prevent an unregulated development near the plant which would depress property values of residential Irvington, City and County Plan Boards decided to meet later this week to zone large areas north of 10th. St.

Two Areas Seek Plant

Meanwhile, the West Side .and Beech Grove developed a spirited competition for the plant in event the objections of East Side organizations caused the Government to seek a new site. ~ Three West Side organizations wired the Mayor, Rep. Louis Ludlow and the War and Navy Depart-

available there, and the Beeth Grove Lions Club sent similar wires in regard to that community.” The Zoning Board meeting ,was proposed yesterday by President George J. O'Connor. It followed the _|plea of North Irvington Civic League members for City Hall aid in regulating what Irvington residents believe will be a boom of low cost residential construction.

Residents Ask Regulation

Representing the League, John K. Rickles, president, and Ernest Frick told the Board yesterday that unless some zoning restriction were enacted, a wave of low-cost housing might follow in the wake of ‘the new plant and depreciate Irvington property values. Mr. Frick proposed restrictions which would bar low cost housing between 10th. and 16th. Sts. and Emerson Ave, and Shadeland Dr. This, he said, would protect in some measure existing values of Irvington property. It would also force possible lowcost residential development north of 21st St. Mr. Frick, Mr. Rickles and Fred Shick also conferred with Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan on. the problem. Previously they had sent messages to Indiana Congressmen and Senators urging relocation of the plant.

7 Variances Granted

“The property owners in this area,” the messages said, “are citizens of the United States and have no desire to impede the defense program of their country. A However, most of them are lifelong residents

.|of this city and have a knowledge

of its environs. “They feel certain that there are areas in the city which are more suitable for industrial development.” The Zbning Board, in hearings on 13 cases yesterday, granted seven variance petitions, denied three and permitted three other petitioners to withdraw applications. Applications to erect outdoor signboards at the southwest corner of Meridian and 36th Sts. and at 3762 N. Meridian St. were withdrawn by the General Outdoor Advertising Co. when property owners protested the proposed erection of the signs.

‘COMPLETE VICTORY TERMED DANGEROUS

gd The peace that follows the war in

Europe may be fully as dangerous as the war, the Rev. Errol T. Elliott, pastor of the First Friends Church, told members of the Women’s Rotary Club of Indianapolis last night. “My sympathies naturally are with Creal Britain,” the Rev. Mr. Elliott said. “I am convinced that a complete German victory would be tragic, but I am not convinced that a complete British victory" is desirable. “I prefer to- see the war end on this side of victory by either nation. Our experience following the last war shows the danger that a treaty of vengeance may be followed. sooner or later by a war of vengeance. We learn by paying fearful costs in human suffering that vengeance produces vengeance.”

ASK STATE AID FOR ELEVATION

Council Orders Request to Legislature for South Side Project.

The fight for track elevation on the South Side was reopened at City Hall today. By unanimous action last night, City Council asked Mayor Reginald

H. Sullivan and the City Legal Department to seek elevation funds from the 1941 Legislature. It was Council's first official act of this year. Virtually a mandate, Council's request was contained in a resolution submitted by Councilman: Ralph Moore, Republican, on the plea of the South Side Civic Club. The club has campaigned for track elevation for more than 10 years.

Ask Early Report

The resolution requested the Mayor to instruct the Legal Department to prepare a plan for raising the money and submit it to the Legislature. It ‘also requested that the Mayor and Legal Department. report back to Council as soon as a plan has been devised. Councilmen agreed to revise the resolution as submitted three weeks ago by Mr. Mooré to give «City officials wide latitude in devising the fund-raising plan, Members also agreed to strike out criticism of administration efforts toward track elevation which was contained in Mr. Moore's original resolution. Amended, the resolution was adopted under suspension of rules.

Finances Lacking

Council's action marked the City’s second attempt to elevate railroad tracks on the South Side in two years. In 1939, the City succeeded in amending the track elevation law to facilitate the work by removing legal obstacles. But with the law amended, ‘the City, according to officials, was financially unable to pay its share of elevation costs which would run into millions. Informed that the City had no money for the improvement, the South Side Civic Club and other groups launched a campaign to get funds for elevation through the State and this resulted in the resolution.

Law Can Be Amended

In discussing the measure, Councilmen agreed that it was unlikely

that Indianapolis would be able to get a larger share of gasoline tax funds for the work. They said, however, it might be possible «£0 amend the law whereby the State Highway Commission would pay part of the cost. Under the present statute, the Highway Commission would pay a share of the cost only where streets designated as State highways were involved. This includes only Madison Ave. Without State help, the City is unable to finance elevation on other streets which are not

1highways, the Councilmen said.

Meeting for the first time this year, the Council re-elected Joseph G. Wood president and Albert O. Deluse vice president. Both are Democrats. . Harmon A. Campbell, Republican, was re-named as Council’s representative on the Zoning Board.

Victims of Easy Living Now Wait for Andy to Feed Them

That's a Far Cry From Days in North; Even Last Year

They Kept Water

By JOE It is very sad, but starkly true,

Clear for Paddling.

COLLIER that the Lake Sullivan wild ducks

have become the victims of easy living and year after year are accept« ing as their due, little plushy personal services they would have scorned

when they first came here.

These birds, mind you, came originally from the hardy north, where

ducks are swift and drakes have feathers on their chests.

‘their ancestors summered so far north that come fall they had to fuel up and fly huge distances south, finding their own food as they went and doing their own navigating. When they first landed at Lake Sullivan, it was in the nature of a stop-over and one and all would have clouded into the air in suspicious flight if anyone had offered them a snack of corn to eat.

But Now—

But now, if Andy Miller isn’t out there every night at sundown with a lot of corn they set up a group quacking that brings him running, even if he has to drop important

things to do it. Moreover, the oldest duck there can’t remember when one of the colony was in cross-country flying condition, or even in the frame of mind to get into condition. They don’t even go through the motions any more. All that has been known for some time, but now comes a new trait which raises (or reduces), the ducks practically to the state of the bird leisure class.

No More Ice Biting

In order that the ducks can swim and also eat corn, it is necessary for there to be open water in Lake Sullivan opening onto: the bank near Andy's home where the corn is scattered. Until this year at least the elder statesman in the colony realized this and organized the group in cold weather to do this. Until this year they had regular ice patrols in cold weather and, in shifts would bite at the tender edges of the freezing ice and thus keep the water open. Nothing of the sort has happened this year. They have managed to keep a little water open in the lee of the island, but that in itself is a sign of softening. . Imagine in these temperatures taking to the lee of the island. They kept open water in sub-zero temperatures of last year and 1938, and asked no favors of anything. -

Andy Chopped the Channel

But this’ year Andy found that they were doing nothing but waiting for him in the lee of the island, hungry and apparently = listless, while he figured out some way to open a channel for them to swim

to the feeding shore.

And Andy’s a sucker, too, because he opened a channel with an ax. But what upset him was that the ducks didn’t even look alive about swimming through the channel and before they got around to it, it had frozen lover again. This matter hasg't been settled yet, but Andy can’t be going out there with an ax every time a duck wants a kernel of corn. That's a cinch.

10220 SEEKING 'SPEGIAL JURY

Separate Venire of 40 Names Is Asked for Murder Trial.

Attorneys for Fred Iozzo, accused of the first-degree murder of 16-year-old Virgil Disher, Oct 25, today petitioned for a Special venire for a jury to hear the case Monday in Criminal Court. Iozzo was arraigned yesterday be‘fore Special Judge Frank A, Symmes and pleaded not guilty to the murder, which occurred in Tozzo'’s- Cafe, Oct. 25. Previously his attorneys had filed a motion to quash the indictment on statutory grounds and the motion was denied by Judge Symmes. A continuance until February, sought by defens¢ attorneys was denied when Albert Ward, deputy prosecutor, said the State was ready and did not feel disposed for a continuance. The request for a special venire was in the form of a motion for.a struck jury. This means that 40 names will be drawn from the jury box hy tomorrow, that each side will be allowed to strike 12 names before going to trial, and

from the remaining [16 naiges. Criminal Court attaches said it was the first time in many years that a struck jury was sought in a criminal case. Defense attorneys said their reason was that the present venire would already be questioned in the murder trial of Charles Goodrich, scheduled to start today. Iozzo has been out on $10,000 bond since Dec. 10, when a motion to be let to bail was allowed by Judge Symmes. Ordinarily, a firstdegree murder charge is not bailable.
