MENUTT REPEALER SENT TO GOVERNC

Measure Represents First Completed Step in G. 0. P. ‘Ripper’ Program; Vote Is 34 to 14 on Party Lines; Will Schricker Veto or Sign?

The McNutt Reorganization Act, under which the State government has operated for the last eight years, was re-

pealed by the Senate today.

Already passed by the House, the repealer is the first of : the G. O. P. “ripper” bills to be sent to Democratic Governor

Henry Schricker. Failing in their attempt last Friday to amend the measure to provide a government structure in case the “ripper” program is declared unconstitutional, the Democratic minority let the measure ‘go through today without'debate. The vote was 30 to 14, on party

es. Governor Schricker now has three days in which to sign or veto the bill. He said in his inaugural address that he did not approve of the powers concentrated in the hands of the Governor by the bill, and favored returning to the pre1933 form of government. Although he has not said he would approve repeal of the.act as drawn, he is expected to sign the repealer.

Hit ‘One-Man Rule’

The Reorganization Act, whipped through a Democratic Legislature in 1933 by former Governor Paul V. McNutt, concentrated all administra-| . tive and appointive powers in the Governor. Republicans have been charging that it created a “dictator” - and “one-man rule” and repeal has been pledged in every platform since then. The repealer is to be effective

May 1, when the G. O. P. “decen-|__

tralization” program now in various stages of passage through the Legislature also is scheduled to take ef“fect. Governor Schricker is expected to veto much of the “ripper” legislation as it is now drawn. He has warned that he will not accept the role of “errand boy.” Under the G. O. P. program, he would be a minority member of four boards dominated by elected Republican officials to operate the State Government. Democratic legislators have charged that some of the measures are unconstitutional,

‘Oversight’ Corrested

A G. O. P. bill to create a Department of Inspection and Supervision of Public Offices, replacing the present State Board of Accounts, - was introduced today by Rep. Harry Shull (R. Auburn) and sponsored by the Republican steering committee. It corrects an oversight in the #big ripper” bill, which would have placed the Accounts Board under the Auditor, whose work is checked by the Board. This provision of the “big ripper” will be amended in the Senate, it was said. The new bill places the Board

BOBBITT DENIES RIPPER’ REVOLT

Those Who ‘Hesitated’ on Atty. Gen. Bill Now Favor It, He Says.

Reports that a bloc of Republican legislators was prepared to revolt against the party's “ripper” bills, were detiied today by State G. O. P. Chairman Arch N. Bobbitt. ‘Three or four of the Republican Senators hesitated for™a while on our bill to set up a new Attorney General office, but after they were convinced that it was constitutional, all were for. it,” Mr. Bobbitt said. He declared that so far as any party leader knows, “Republican legislatol's will support the party platform measures 100 per cent.” The State Chairman declined to commen upon the gestures of compromise | indicated by the Republican majority leaders’ conference with Governor Schricker, Democrat, last Friday.

He has been State Examiner since 1939. There are 90 inspectors| on the staff who gained their places through rigid examinations. Only 5 per cent of the men who have taken the tests have made passing grades. Three other “ripper” backstop measure were introduced in the Senate. One, submitted by Senator E. I. Higgs (R. Connersville), would provide for the appointment of a State Budget Director by the Governor, Auditor and Secretary of State. He is now appointed by the Governor’, Anothér, introduced by Senator Clyde Black (R. Logansport), would create ain insurance division under the Department of Auditor and Controls. The Insurance Commissioner. would be appointed by the Auditor, | Secretary of State and Governoll.

It provides for a chief officer to be known as the State Examiner, The State Examiner would be appointed by the State Personnel Board within 10 days after passage of the bill. He would serve for a four-year term and draw a $4000 annugl salary. The personnel ‘Board, to be set up under the merit bill, also would name two deputy examiners ‘of different political parties, who would be paid $3000 annually.

Revue Plays to

Her ice show playzd last night

she will have grossed an estimated ably more than 55,000. | Continuing with the figure writing, her opening ticket sale was the biggest in the history of Sonja Henie—New York and Chicago notwithstanding. On Sunday, Jan. 19, the Coliseum ticket offices opened at 9 a. m. and by .10:30 p. m. Sonja Henie devotees had shoved $20,000 into the cash box. Early today there were about 3500 general admission tickets for the two remaining Hollywood Ice Revue shows tonight and tomorrow night but the reserve seats were all gone. From the nine cities she will play —Houston, St. Louis, Buffalo, Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, New York, Indianapolis and Omaha—she will gross more than $1,000,000. That’s why some call her the g1 eatest box office draw since the heycay of Jack Dempsey. Her manager reported that “she is tickled to death the way the show is going. And she likes the Coliseum, the way the seats are banked so that she can see all of her crowd.” Appearing at “concert pitch” every night requires regular and rigid living, and here's the average day Miss Henie spends in Indianapolis: After the show she returns to her suite at the Claypool Eotel and telephones her husband, Dan Topping, in New York. Then her personal masseuse works over her. (Sonja has three personal attendants, a maid, a hair-dresser anc, the masseuse, and they travel with her.) After the massage, Miss Henie eats a rather full meal. Having just eaten and still rather “keyed up” from her performance, Sonja talks with her family—mother, Selma; brother, Lief, and his wife, Gerd—and by 4 or 5 a. m. she is relaxed enough to go to sleep. By noon, she is up again. Then she has a little light nourishment, another massage and lounges about for a while. After an afternoon nap, she arises about 4 p. m. and

dresser visits her, The hair-dressing equipment, dryer, etc, is furnished by the Claypool. By then it’s about timg for her to head out N. Meridian St. to the Coliseum with her family for the show. About 20 minutes after the opening number, Sonja makes her appearance, riding a “sea shell” on

.|to the ice—and on to greater riches.

Robert Kirby, chief baker at the U. S. Veterans Hospital, who broke his back in a fall at the institution a week ago, must remain in bed for at least eight months, doctors said today. Mr. Kiroy, who is-42 and lives at 2822 N. Capitol Ave, is widely known in American Legion circles. He has beenn employed at the hospital for nine years.

They would shake up the Conservation Department, the Oil Inspection Division and the Gross Income Tax Division along lines provided in the “pig ripper” bill, -House-approved keystone measure of the ‘decentralization” program now before the Senate.

SEEK DEFINITION OF SIMPLE FOOD

What, exactly, does the legal term “simple food” include? That is the question state officials must determine before the Federal Food stamp plan for distributing relief groceries can be established in Indiana. :

Edward P. Brennan, State Board of Accounts chief examiner, said there is an apparent confiict between state laws and the new stamp plan. : State relief, laws specify that township trustees issue grocery orders for “simple food” only. Under the stamp plan needy persons would be able to purchase any kind of food —even “caviar,” it is contended. Formal inauguration of the plan in Marion County, scheduled for last Saturday, is being held up pending a ruling of the Attorney General.

COTTON CLUB FIGHTS. LICENSE REVOCATION

The Indiana Alcoholic Beverages Commission will decide at a meeting tomorrow whether to grant a petition of Sea Ferguson, owner of Cotton Club, for a rehearing of his case in which his liquor license was revoked recently. The Cotton Club is one of three Indiana Ave. “hot spots” to lose liquor licenses in a recent “Avenue cleanup” campaign. The license of the Cotton Club was revoked Jan. 24 following a shooting affray on Christmas Day. Ferguson’s petition alleges that there was insufficient evidence to revoke the permit.

A resolution introduced would set up a commission of nine members to codify all transportation laws. They were introduced by Rep. C. Otto Abshire (R. Indianapolis) and Rep. Howard Batman (D. Terre Haute.)

BRITISH RELY ON U. S. PLANES IN AIR WAR

LONDON, Feb. 3 (U. P.).—A high Royal Air Force officer, giving a “preview” of the coming air war,

revealed today that the British made Lysander planes which now are the “eyes” of the Army, would be replaced by United States planes having higher performance. The officer said that the German air force still would have a numerical superiority this spring, but added, “we shall start the struggle on March 1 or whenever the date is, in appreciably better position than we were when we last had a crack at them. Questioned about reported new types of German aircraft, the officer referred to the Focke-Wulf destroyer as “one of the most successful aircraft Propaganda Minister Paul Joseph Goebbels ever produced.” “Our intelligence people are unkind about it,” he said. “We don’t think much about it from the reports we have.”

Report Duchess Had Face Lifted

NEW YORK, Feb. 3 (U, P.).— The New York Daily News said in a copyrighted article last night that the Duchess of Windsor had her face lifted by Dr. L. Daniel Shorell, a New York plastic surgeon, during the week between Christmas and New Year's Day. Dr. Shorell could not be reached for comment. The news story, which quoted unidentified friends of the Duchess, said the operation was performed in the Governor's mansion at Nassau, where the Duke of Windsor is governor of the Bahamas Islands. The Duchess’ dental operation in mid-December was a preliminary to the facial surgery, the story said. The operation was highly successful, according to the friends quoted by the News, and removed wrinkles from the Duchess’ chin. The mole on her chin was not touched, it was said, nor was the upper part of her face. She was said to look “years younger” aft-

er the surgery.

War Moves Today

By J. W. T. MASON United Press War Expert Admiral Francois Darlan’s arrival in Paris today to conduct negotiations for a Franco-German understanding does not point to any action by Vichy which would strengthen Adolf Hitler's military posi-

tion or weaken and Africa.

British power in the Mediterranean

Simultaneous with Admiral Darlan’s appearance

Mr. Mason

repel attack against control.

in Paris this morning, an interview with him was published, declaring that the French fleet would its independence and would remain under French He added that the fleet would also defend the French Empire

against any challenge. This statement was made in answer to reports

that Germany and Italy might insist on the surrender of the French warships and might try to take possession of French bases in North Africa. Admiral Darlan’s public announcement of his stand on this vital issue would seem definitely to fix the Vichy policy against any Axis threat. Admiral Darlan not only is Minister of the Navy, he also ranks next to Marshal Petain in position and influence among the officers of the two fighting services. He has the prestige of a Marshal of France so that the importance of his opposition to Axis naval and military demands is of the utmost value to Great Britain. Darlan is known to have been deeply resentful over the British naval attacks against French warships after France’s surrender. He also has been critical of British air bombardments of French Channel ports, though it is possible that Vichy will be assured that the British intend to make good the damage after the war. The Admiral’s refusal to help the Axis at this time, despite hisj feelings against Great Britain, points to growing belief in France that Germany and Italy may lose the war. France at least declines to work for an Axis victory. Darlan’s declaration today was preceded Saturday by Gen. Weygand’s appeal from North re to French colonials to support Marshal Petain. Thus, it is apparent that Petain, Darlan and Weygand are united in determining not to allow French combat power to be used to assist the Axis in the war. This triumvirate is by far the strongest group of leaders in France

three men continue to agree, it would seem vain for Hitler and Benito Mussolini to hépe for active French help against Great Britain. Whatever Petain and Darlan may do otherwise to prevent an open break with Germany cannot have major importance in its effect on the war. The internal affairs of France may be readjusted somewhat, but Hitler's chief concern is with the French fleet and the French African bases, which now seem denied him. If the Germans succeed in forcing the return of Pierre Laval to an official post, his hands will be tied by the Petain-Darlan-Weygand combination insofar as French war action concerned. Though Laval be made Foreign Minister, there would be very little for him to do since the question of the fleet and the African Army is beyond control of the Foreign Office. Petain apparently is playing a shrewd game by making so pronounced an issue of Laval’s position. He is forcing the Germans to become increasingly insistent on Laval’s behalf. That means Laval is being held before the French - people as the friend of Germany. If he is restored to ministerial duties, it will not be because Petain trusts him but because Hitler trusts him. Such a tag attached to Laval’s position would seem destined to reduce his influence with the French people, and so give him an equivocal role. If he is forced back to some degree of power by the Germans, it might well follow that all his’ actions would arouse the suspicions of patriotic Frenchmen, especially as Frenchmen begin to see the way from an Axis

For several weeks now, Republican leaders have been getting together on Monday nights to decide what their legislators should do. Tonight, they have a particularly knotty problem on their hands. It seems that some of the things they asked the Representatives and Senators to do haven't turned out according to schedule, When the G. O. P. launched its “decentralization” program, it

looked like a good idea to the county and district chairmen who urged it, and the thousands of party workers who wanted state jobs. It was dressed up as a cureall to “end one-man rule.” It started through the Legislature like a rocket ship, with the very minority Democrats ‘tugging at the tow-ropes and trying to slow down action until the voters back home could find out what all the shouting was about. About halfway through its course, the “ripper’ ship began to lose steam. The men who were just riding along lost enthusiasm in proportion—they hadn’t been too thrilled about it at any time. #” # EJ

Weak in the Seams

Meanwhile, some of the folks back home began to realize that the program for which needed legislation was being sidetracked, was swinging wide of its mark. It certainly would end one-man rule, but would set up in its place an old-fashioned government by com= mission which went out of style before peg-legged trousers and in which it’s hard to determine who is running what, if anybody. They also learned that the program had been thrown together hurriedly and was unraveling at the seams. There were blunders galore, most of them from hurryup bill writing without consulting experts in specialized fields. Mistakes that might have cost the State millions in Federal funds were discovered belatedly—some of them still may be lurking around undetected. Although the program was drafted by. the G. O. P.-labeled “seven best legal minds in Indiana,” serious questions as to the constitutionality of many parts were raised. These arguments began to wear on some of the legislators. So last Monday, the high command had two of the lawyers come down and talk to the boys, reassuring them that everything was all right by the books and citing cases to prove their points. ” n ”

Eye Independents and '42

They convinced many of the seat-holders on the legality angle. But they couldn’t sell all of them on the idea that the chosen path was the right one. Or that the people were all for it, especially the hundreds of independent voters whose hallots gave the G. O. P. their chance last November and whose opposition can take it away from them in 1942. State issues will be THE issues then, you know. For some reason, the program came almost to a halt last week. A pretty good merit bill was thrown in to take some heat off the rest of the program. The State Highway Department shakeup bill, steam-rollered through the House, practically was rewriten by a Senate committee. A couple of other diversions were thrown in to scatter the attention of the voters who can’t understand the complexities of the Legislature any too well anyhow. To climax it all, G. O. P. legislative officials paid a call on Democratic Governor Schricker to see what he didn’t like about their plans. Although the Governor has been playing a cozy game, he has warned the Republicans he will fight if they try to make an

. “errand boy” of him. That's what

he thinks the “ripper” program would do to the office of Governor. Each flanked by his legislative floor leaders, Senator William E. Jenner and the Governor talked things over. It's doubtful if much was accomplished in the sparring match. Both the Senator and the Governor said the talk had been “friendly” and that they probably would meet again. zs #8

What Next?

That's where the G. O. P. be-hind-the-scenes leaders come in® tonight. They will learn from Senator Jenner what the Governor (in part, at least) doesn’t like about their program. And then it will be up to them to decide what next.. Just what they can do about the Governor's likes and dislikes at this late date appears to be a serious question. They might concede a point here and there—such as giving up the State Police and maybe the Attorney General—but they can’t back up very far. They're in it up to their necks now. They can’t scrap the pro-gram-it’s too late in the game for that. They can’t change the structure much without losing political face. Regardless of what Mr. Schricker told Mr. Jenner, and vice versa, it looks like it’s sink or swim for the Republicans now—and that’s why a lot of legislators are looking around for life preservers. «#8

The Senators Win

Republican Senators can claim at, least one Victory er the higher-ups, it's reported. % Ee that two textbook adoptions bills were prepared— one by the Claypool command and one by legislators who had taken part in an investigation of “the textbook racket” two years ago.

There was quite an argument over

the merits of the two bills. Several Senators backed the one drafted by their colleagues— and that’s the one which was introduced. Biggest piece of legislation still missing is the liquor bill, which the steering committee hopes to have ready early this week. There has been a lot of discussion on that one, too.

TwoYear Appropriations

Work begins in earnest this week on the $110,000,000 biennial appropriations bills. That represents expenditures of about $6,500,000 more than in the last two years. It also contemplates spending more than estimated revenues and threatens a $2,000,000 deficit

can-dominated [|

tee has sharpened up the pruning knife to keep the budget balanced. Rep. Walter Baker (R. Bourbon), committee member and a leader in financial matters, has indicated that he will seek a horizontal slash, perhaps 5 per cent of all requested appropriations. He is picking up some influential support and may succeed. Rep. Baker sponsored several cuts passed by the Republican House in 1939, but most of the reductions were restored by the Democratic Senate.

M’ADOO BODY TO LIE IN ARLINGTON GRAVE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3 (U. P.).— The body of the late William Gibbs
