same day a Canadian ashed near Armstrong, Ontario, killing 12. ‘An Army flier was killed near New York City, bringing the day’s airplane accident toll to 21 [lives. A civilian employee at McClellan Field, Sacramento, Ca., from which the four-motored bomber took off yesterday morning for Lowry Field, Denver, reported that the wings and ailerons of planes in repair shops had been slashed. Army officials wouldn’t confirm or deny, saying they knew of no attempt to sabotage the flying | fortress. Nevertheless, extraordinary precautions were taken, Officers ringed the seared wreckage and would not let spectators approach nearer than 100 yards. Meanwhile, Army officials in Washington denied that there had been any increase in the rate of airplane accidents. There had been . a greater number, they said, because there were more Army planes ‘flying and moré-men flying them because of the defense Those killed when the flying fortress crashed were Capt. Richard 8. Freeman, 33, pilot, of. Ladd Field, Fairbanks, Alaska; First Lieut. Edward W. Ketcham, 30, co-pilot, Ladd Field; Technical Sergeant K. H. Gilbreath, staff Sergeant Everett Crabb, Sergt. J.

‘The text of Covaiuor Schricker’s veto of the act to repeal the McNutt Reorgahization law, delivered today to the Indiana House of Rep-
resentatives, follows: I herewith return, but without my approval, Engrossed House Bill No. 12 entitled “An Act to repeal an act entitled ‘Ah Act concerning the executive including the .administrative department of the government of the State of Indiana’ as amended” and covering kindred
four sections, if enacted into law, effects repeal of an Act entitled “An Act concerning the executive including the administrative department of the State of Indiana,” approved February 3, 1933, and likewise the amendatory and supplemental acts thereafter adopted. There are no constitutional objections to this hill and were it the sole function and purpose of this pill to remove the objectionable features of the Act which it repeals, I would welcome the opportunity to approve it. In my message delivered to you. on January 14,-1941, I said: ©
“The Reorganization Act of 1933 has beens matter of political controversy almost £m the day of its passage. There are those among you who have repeatedly promised the’ repeal of this act, and others who: doubt the wisdom of some of its provisions. ‘Common honesty prompts me to say. that I belong to the latter group.” S I am still of the same opinion. Insofar ‘as ‘the Reorganization Act of 1933 gave to the Governor in practical effect, authority to appoint the deputies, assistants and employees of other elected officials of the State Government not directly under the Chief Executive, it should ‘be ‘amended or a new Act removing this authority substituted in its place. ‘As evidence of my sincerity in this position, I call to your attention my actions since’ I became Governor on January 13th of this year.
‘lI REFUSED AUTHORITY’
Even though the existing law gives me the right, and even under this act if it became the law, I would have the right until May 1, 1941, to appoint all the assistants, deputies and employees of other officials and departments, I have consistently failed and refused to exercise that authority because even though it is the law, I have felt that it was an imposition upon the rights of other elected officials. I have maintained this position even though it has meant the Joss of positions to members of my own party, many of whom are my close personal friends. My position is now and always has been that the various elected state officials should be assisted in the discharge of their duties by deputies'and employees of their own choice. However, no member of this General Assembly doubts for one moment. that by the passage of the Reorganjzation Act of 1933, many statutes then existing in the State of Indiana were thereby repealed. Section 30 of the Reorganization Act expressly 1zovided that: “All acts and parts of acts in
conflict herewith, including any acts heretofore passed at the 78th
matters. The Bill, consisting of}
Complete Text of Schricker Veto of McNutt Act Repeal
session of the General Asembly, : are hereby repealed.” No lawyer can say af. this. hour with absolute certainty the number of statutes that were repealed in whole or in part by the passage of the Reorganization Act. Certain it is, however, that by the repeal of the Reorganization Act, these statutes are not thereby automatically revived. As suthority for this statement, I cite vou to the provisions of Sec. 1-307 Burns Indiana Statutes Annotated 1933, which provides that: “Whenever an act is repealed which repealed a former act, such act. shall not. thereby be revived, | unless it shall be so expressly provided. . In addition fo this statutory authority, I refer you also to the decisions of the Supreme Court of our State and particularly to the case of Buchanan vs. Morris, 198 Ind. 79. This decision, in effect, holds that statutes repesled, though only by implication, are not revived upon the repeal of such repealing statute. It must necessarily -follow, therefore, that the repeal of the Reorganiza‘tion Act as providéd by House Enrolled Act No. 14, leaves many divisions of state without statutory authority for their adequate func-
tioning. WARNS OF CHAOS
It is no answer in my opinion to say that following the repeal of the Reorganization Act of 1933, other statutes may be enacted wy uus Assembly to re-establish authority in. the various offices and agencies of government to provide for their proper functioning. Whether this result will be accomplished can only be determineci when such legislation is finally enacted in accordance with constitutional limitations. To tear down ‘the entire framework of state government without first substituting a | constitutional and workable plan in its place, can only result in chaos and confusion. There perhaps has never been a time in the history of our state when the normal and efficient functioning of government was as nece essary to the welfare and safety of our people as at the present, and when continuity of governmental functions was not only desirable but imperative. It must, therefore, be obvious that an unconditional repeal of the Reorganization Act of 1933 at this time is not only unwise but perilous to the public welfare. Such a condition as would be created by the passage of this hill can only react to the detriment of the people of our state. You and I are committed to the proposition of maintaining stable and efficient government for the citizens of Indiana. The people demand and -have a right to expect that we will fulfill that obligation. For these reasons, I return Engrossed House Bill No. 12 without my approval.
REAL ESTATE BOARD IS ASKED IN SENATE

“5 8 8.8 8 Body Repairing Class Ends Tonight The final class in a school of body collision repairing and estimating for dealers’ service managers and body repairmen within 75 miles of Indianapolis will be held tonight at Meridian Pontiac, Inc, 923 N. Meridian St.

. The school has been designed to teach the fundamentals of estimating the time required for body reconditioning and the proper steps of inspection needed to analyze the damage and plan the repairing. “How important estimating can be to a dealer was shown at a recent Marshall, Pontiac Division general service manager, said today. “Thirty-nine hours were required to repair a wrecked car at this school. Estimates made by 18 class members the first night ranged from 213; to 67 hours. Seven of the men would not have gotten the
high. Seven were so low they would have lost money, while four were close enough to have been made a reasonable profit.’ ” ” i 2 » »
New Rim Reduces Blowout Hazard
- Blowout hazards, which are the cause of the largest percentage of serious auto accidents, have been greatly reduced in the 1941 Chrysler cars by the adoption of a new safety rim. With this rim in use a flat tire has the same traction as a normal tire with 10 pounds of air. pressure when the car is traveling 40 miles an hour. This means that after a blowout, the tire will support the weight of the car until the driver can bring it to a stop, retaining enough steering and braking control to handle the vehicle and keep it on the road in the proper traffic lane. ” » ” # # ”
