L next Monday night.

“The Indiana constitution says - that the Governor shall ‘take care that the laws are faithfully executed,” Senator Bedwell said. “How can he do that unless” he has the power of appointment over officials. And if there is any department in the State Government charged with enforcement of laws, it is certainly the State Police Department.” Senator Bedwell warned that the Republican measure “might; throw ine entire department into litigation just when the department might be vitally important in _mainjaining peace and order.”

“Indiana No Exception”

Senator Jenner declared “the very thing Senator Bedwell is talking about is the very purpose of this bill. All about us in the last 20 years, we have seen a changz from representative to dictatorial govern- . ment. Indiana has been no exception to this trend. “Bight years ago, we saw a political party take over this state lock, stock and barrel, It took over under a system that has become notorious throughout the nation. Gavernor | © Schricker recognized its weakness and recommended its repeal to the General Assembly. Our bill does only one thing. It is a step back from one-man government.” | The G. O. P. floor leader admitted there “is some politics in this bill,” but pointed out that of the¢ 247 men on the force now, only 16 or (17 are Republicans. “This bill, however, is not to make ‘a grab at the Dembpcratic party. It does not propose 1 discharge a single Democr at.. The pill provides that when additional employees are added, they will be members of the political |‘ party which has a minority representa-| tion on the force until an equal division is reached between the¢ two.”

McBride Favors Ch ange

Senator Jenner that “in the last analysis, the State Police hill leaves control with the Chief Executive, since it gives him the power |to remove board members who are found inefficient or incompetent.” Senator Claude McBride (I). Jeffersonville), in voting or the bill, said he would vote for the change if- it were not for “invading the constitutional rights of the Governor.” K} “I believe with Andrew Jackson that to the victor belongs the spoils. If the bill provided for firing every Democrat on the |police | force but left the power with the Governor, where it should |be, I would vote for it,” he said. |

Held Up Approval

In a committee hearing the bill yesterday, Senato; ward Green (R. Indianapolis) said he believed that the Governor should be given a veto power over the appointment of a superintendent. The committee disregarded his suggestion, however, and ‘Mr. Green signed the majority report recommending passage. Senator Green held up committee approval of the bill at the first meeting Tuesday by declini to ‘sign the report until he had talked to Arch N. Bobbitt, State G.| O. P. chairman, It was reported that Republican ‘leaders may amend the hill to specify that the State Police shgll follow the orders of the Governor, in an attempt to eliminat: p grounds to have the measure declared unconstitutional.

~ GOP MOVE TO UNSEAT + SGHRIGKER UNLIKELY

The Republican leadership is not making any ive plans for a contest in the Legislature to unseat Governor Henry F. Schricker on evidence of legal voting, it was learned today. A spokesman for the State G. O. P. Committee said that afer a pre- _ liminary investigation of 1eports {hat more than 1500 aliens voted in Lake County, party leaders believed there is not sufficient evidence of : fraud to warrant a recourt. te Committee members said, Bead that they will proceed with the petition for a recount filed in the House Tuesday in ordér to get on public record 'the ess) voting conditions in the state. A subcommittee, named hy the »State Committee, last Monday, will continue its investigation and make a recommendation to State Fepublican Chairman Arch N. Elobhitt .

Voters. Target of Merit Backers

These groups are interested in a state-wide inerit plan and intend to sponsor a kill in the Legislature. They charge that the G. O. P. Institutions Bll; in placing each of the 21 State institutions under a separate board, would make a practical merit setup, impossible. In the “middle” of the coniroversial situation is Rep. George W. Henley (FE. Bloomington), chairraan of the important House Judiciary A Committee tvhich was charged by the G. O. PF. majority to “get ‘the program bills out quickly.” Rep. Henley long has been an advocate of a state-wide merit plan and introduced the League of Women Volérs’ bill in the 1939 jession of the Legislature.

Let Down,’ Charged

The 1929 bill was passed by the Republican House but died in committee in the Democratic Senatsz. The civi¢ groups feel they've been “let down’ by the Republicans ‘ind Mr. Henley has heen taking niost of the “heat.” Ee prevented the Institutions Bill from being railroaded ouf of his committee uatil the public liearing Monday, but in

doing so has irked the party chiefs.

His position will become still more

uncomfortable when the state-viide

merit bill finally is introduced. At a mecting of his commi tee Monday, Mi. Henley, in respons: to heckling by the Democratic miriority, said he understood private organizations were preparing a stitewide merit hill, but he did not kiow “how it would be received by the majority.”

THREE DEFENSE STRIKES GURBED

New Castle Pact Sought; Eaton Workers Return; Discuss Ryan Terms.

By UNITED PRESS Three strikes that threatened to

block production in defense industries were settled or averted. today but other disputes still were pending or deadlocked.

Four of the plants were engaged in production of defense orders including airplane engine parts. Terms of the agreement which sent 3700 men back to work were not revealed., The union had charged the company had failed to rehire 250 men who were idle since a previous strike at Saginaw.

Electrical Strike Averted

.At Providence, R. I., a strike of 1000 electrical workers which would have closed factories working on

defense orders totaling $15,000,000 was called off. Union demands for a 15 per cent wage increase were to be arbitrated. Negotiations continued under threat of strike at the Ryan Aeronautical Co. plant at San Diégo, Cal, where U, A. W. workers are demanding wage increases. -An agreement to negotiate at two Ihternational Harvester .Co. plants and to postpone threatened strikes at sixfothers was reached by an exchange of telegrams between the company and the C.
