of the State’s highways—all bib $1,250,000 which is transferred | to the general fund to help run the State. There has been considerable| sentiment ta change the law to prevent this transfer of funds. The Budget Committee recommends that] the law be left alone and the transfer continue to be made.

There also are bills pending be- . gross income tax for retailers and to supply free textbooks for [public school and others. To (such measures the Budget Commniittee suggested that the present laws be maintained “in such a form as to guarantee a very minimum [of reduction in total revenues to, the State.” ‘ A third suggestion concerned the intangible tax law. At present 90 per cent of all the intangible tak receipts are distributed among the local units of government as |‘stateaid.” This helps support the gchools and relief projects.

Would Keep It All

The Budget Committee | Would keep the entire amount nl the treasury. Then it would transfer the same amount from the Hi hway Fund to compensate the local units. This distribution of funds (¢ the local units, the Committee |suggested, would be made quarterly instead of semi-annually, as is| now done, thus permitting the State to keep a larger working: balange in the treasury. The Committee concluded its report with this warning: “Your Committee feels incompetent to forecast with any dggree of certainty to what extent id depression in revenues may resulj {from a general let-up in the present defense program and the accompanying trend in general business ¢pnditions throughout the state. :

.Urges Caution |

“We do, however, seek to ir press| upon the members of the General | . and to the publi¢igenerally, the importance of proceeding with ‘caution in over-estimating the extent to which our revenues may be augmented or under-estimating the extent to which they may be depleted, and for that reasori we must stand on the estimates hérein submitted as being the best | estimates obtainable. . . . The Committee, appointed the fall election each two studies the State's financial and receives requests from hee each department in the State | ernment.

OFFER CONTROL OF INSTITUTIONS

Democrats in Strorise Move Suggest Le Gov. Have Appointive Power.

In a surprise magve, the Democratic House minorily today offered to amend the G. O, P. Institutions Bill to put the entir: control of institutions in the hands of the Republican Lieutenant. Governor. This “offer” was voted down by the Republican ma jt rity by a voice vote. The bill woul. ‘‘decentralize” the 20 State penal, senevolent and correctional institutions by putting each under a separate bi-partisan four-man board appointed by the Governor and Lieutenant Governor. The Democratic minority first asked that the Governor be given

the appointive power. When this was defeated, the after to put it in the hands of the Lieutenant Governor was made.

“We Are Sincere”

«We of the minorit;’ are sincere in this suggestion,” said - Rep. Roy Darneal (D. New Albany). “It has been said that the institutions could make or break a Governor. Why make or break both the Governor and the Lieutenant Governor?” “Somebody should shoulder the responsibility. You can’t see fit to leave the institutions in the hands of the Governor, but you ought to be able to trust tle Lieutenant Governor, who is the leader of your party. If you are sincere, you wil vote for this amendment.”

Democrats were “neither consistent nor sincere” in the motion. Almost a dozen proposed ainendments were fired at the bill, | waich was on

4-Man Board Set Up and Director Abolished for Real ‘Bi-Partisanship.’ . By EARL RICHERT A “repaint” job on the Housepassed Highway Department “ripper” bill, begun |yesterday by the Senate Roads Committee, was scheduled to be completed this afternoon. | . Membel's of the House Roads Committee were to meet with the Senate group this afternoon to confer on changes to the measure decided upon in the upper house. The Sc¢nate C(lommittee, acting upon the instruciions of the G. O. P. steering committee, used a heavy black pencil freely on the measure in . committee meeting yesterday, revising some of its main features. The bill as amg¢nded provides for a full-time Highway Commission of four meribers, two Democrats and two Republicans, and eliminates the position of Highway Director. It originally provided for a fivemember Highway Commission to serve only part-time in an advisory capacity to the Highway Director, who would have had full charge of the Devagiment at an annual salary of $6000

First Changes

The changes were the first made on any cf the “ripper” bills in the upper house. The G. O. P. Institutions kill has been amended in the House and amendments are to be offered later lin the Senate to the “big ripper” hill to leave the personnel of the Unemployment Compensation Division and Employment| Service untouched in the coming patronage shake-up. Senator O. Brute Lane (R. Bainbridge), Roads (Committee chairman, explained that the Highway bill was ¢hanged to make the commission full-time because his party felt that the conimission was “too big” to b® run by one man. He said that the reduction in the number ©5¢ members of the commission was deciced upon to make it “truly bi-partisan.” The provision in the House-passed bill providing for the appointment of the commission by the Governor, Lieutenant Governor and - State Treasurer was not changed, however, thus leaving the Department under the control of the Republicans. The three elected officials are to designate one member of the commission as chairman. The present State Highway Commission is composed of three members, two Democrats and one Republican, all appointed by the Governor. Anothe: Senate committee decided vesterday to pass on to the members a bill it found “too hot” to handle. The Reilroad Committee sent the bill to repeal the “full crew” law

J for railroads to the Senate “with-

out recorimendations.” The aciion was decided upon in a closed session of the committee, following a short public hearing in which both representatives of the railroads and labor groups presented their arguments.

Asks Postponement

Martin. H. Miller, representative of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmer:, asked {hat the committee recommend “indefinite postponemen.” on the measure. He declared that the law, which he contended was in the interests of safety, was needed now more than ever with the business increase resulting from the national defense program. J. M. Symes, general manager of the Pennsylvania Railroad, said that if he felt the law really were a safety measure he would not ask for its repeal. “But the facts show, that it has not improved the safety records of the railroads and since it has not it is not in thé public interest and should not be maintained on the statute books.”

Puts Cost 2t $870,000

He tolf tbe coranmittee that the law was costing the railroads $870,000 annually within the state. The Senate Education Committee recommended passage of a measure which would require schools receiving state aid to draw up a schedule of indebtedness and agree with the State Departmen’ of Education upon some amortization plan; build up a working balarice of 15 per cent of the total yearly expenditures;

‘| pay teacliers, janitors and bus driv-

ers on a monthly basis and keep all State aid funds ir. a separate account. The Sénate held a brief 40-min-ute session . today, passing by a strictly party vote a minor G. O. P. measure to “back-top” the big “ripper” bill.

Amends Healt: Board Law

The bill, passed by a vote of 29 to 16, simply amended the present State Health Board law placing it under the Board to be set-up by the decentralization bill in place of the Governo’., The big “ripper” bill places tlie Health Board under a Board . composed of the Governor, Lieutenant Governor and State Treasurer. A bill to, equalize the per diem salaries paid to trustees of the two state universities and two state normal colléges was iniroduced by Senator Floyd I. Garrott (R. Battle Ground). The bill provides that all trustees be paid a per diem of $10, plus expenses as fixed by the State Budget Comniittee. At present the Indiana University trustees get $10 per day; Purdue University trustees, $6, and Indiana State and Ball State trustees, $5. Another bill, introduced by Senator Charles W. Jewett (R. Dillsboro), would require cities and townships using volunteer firemen

looks. They already have agreed to some changes—for Instance, an almost complete revision of their State Highway Department shakeup measure in the Senate. There's little chance of a complete backup on the “commission” ’ type of government, A great many Republicans honestly believe this is the proper form of government, even though it's as out-dated as a model T.

Wants 'Big Ripper’ Now

THE “BIG RIPPER” BILL, keystone of the G. O. P. program setting up four boards and giving the Governor Only a -minority voice in running the state, was attacked from another angle today. Rep. H. H. Evans, veteran New Castle Republican, in an official | protest demanded that the bill go into effect immediately upon enactment. “I have tried to find out why the date of May 1, 1941, was set for the bill to take effect, but no one has a satisfactory answer,” Rep. Evans said. “I have heard a lot of rumblings that the lawyers who drew the bill want to get it into the courts after the

mean a nice fat fee to somebody.” Urging that ihe proposed law be placed on the statute books while the Assembly is in session, he added: “Then the question of enforcement will be up to the Gov=ernor and if he refuses to carry out the will of the Legislature as set out in the bill, then the Legislature and not the courts will seitle the question—and that in a hurry. “If the bill is all right, why not put it in effect now instead . of May 1? The members of the Legislature will have been at home nearly two months before this bill becomes a law. Why? Only for the purpose of some highpowered lawyers to capitalize— or is it just an oversight? Time will tell, but that might be too late.” G. O. P. lawyers repeatedly have assured the legislators that their entire program is constitu-

tional. on » »

'Twas a Mistake

THE REPUBLICAN majority is about to admit it made a mistake in putting the State Accounts Board and Ats staff © under a board headed by the State Auditor. The State Accounts Board examines the books of all State officials—and the State Auditor is one of the chief officials investigated. This, critics of the “ripper” program have pointed out, would allow the man whose books are inspected to appoint the inspector. So the G. O. P. high command is going to amend the “ripper” bill to make the Accounts Board a separate unit of the State Government to correspond with the Comptroller-General of the United States. The present personnel setup would not be disturbed, party leaders say. Indiana's system is widely recognized throughout the country. It’s a career merit service and only 5 per cent of the men who take the examinations for the 90 field examiner posts make passing grades. Edward 'P. Brennan, present State Examiner, is one of the five original Accounts Board -members still serving since appointment in 1909. A Democrat, he has served under one more Republican Governor than Democrat. He became Board chief in 1939, This Board checks the expenditures of every State and local government agency. The Board is composed equally of Republicans and Democrats, and on duty they travel in political pairs. * Former Governor Thomas R. Marshall sponsored the present system 32 years ago, and said later that “this is the best piece of work of my Administration.” / A pension plan for field workers has been introduced in the Legislature to round out the career service system and already has received favorable action by a House committee.

They consider our relations with Italy as they are used to look at their own relations among each other. “If we help Italy they think we want something in exchange for it. “Their hopes are also based on the Balkans. I should not expect too much there either. For wherever England appears we shall attack her and we are strong enough to do so.

“perhaps they hope for other nations they may pull in. I don’t know. “They also hope in a lesser degree .for hunger (to beat Germany). We have organized our life. We know there is no luxury in war, but starve the German people will never, never do. “Perhaps the English might. “We have anticipated everything. Finally they may hope for the effect of their lies and propaganda.

Their caliber has improved. The experience of this war has toughened them. Their equipment is better. Our opponents will see how much.

war will start and they will see that we did not sleep there, either. The airforce will do its part and the combined armed force will force a decision one way or another.” If, Hitler said, the whole world should be plunged into war “by Judaism then Judaism will have ended its role in Europe.

Some 67,000 of the smaller es-

tablishments, the little mercantile houses and so on, were not disturbed—for the time being. Instead, the value of the Polish zloty was fixed as equal to the ruble.

Business boomed. Soon the Rus-

sians had all the goods and the Poles all the zlotys. Then the zloty was declared worthless. Deprived of their regular jobs, the Polish workers were “taken care of” by the Communists. Jobs were provided at pay ranging from 100 to 150 rubles a month. Hours were reduced to six or seven a day. But prices soared to such an extent that every adult in the family was soon forced to work

full time in order to make the

ends meet. - Bread cost two and a half rubles a pound. Potatoes the same. Meat cost from 15 to 45 rubles a pound; butter and lard 35 rubles. In Lvov a pair of shoes cost 500 rubles, or a man’s wages for four or five months. Pressure was brought to make the peasants pool their ground into large “collectives” as in Rus-

sia. Livestock also was apportioned, but most of this was slaughtered for food or for lack

of fodder before many months had .

passed. Thus, within a short while, few peasants had little or nothing to sell to the towns. The lucky ones who had, found nothing in the towns to buy. The towns had been stripped of everything worth carting away. On top of that, new and heavy taxes were levied on the land, ranging up to 115 rubles an acre.

Meanwhile, the OGPU was busy sorting out the population. Poles by the trainload were dumped across the frontier separating Russian-occupied Poland from German-occupied Poland. Similarly the Nazis dumped trainload after trainload of Jews: across their frontier into Russian-occu-pied territory. = These luckless people were shipped in unheated cattle cars—old and young; sick and well, men and women together. Many died, and babies were born only to freeze.
