al Factions Unite Over Week-End to Press Ripper Legis-

lation to Fulfillment : Challenges

All factions of the Indiana Republican party today were| united behind one effort—to take control of the State Government away from Democratic Governor Henry Schricker

without compromise. ~ This was the war cry sounded without reservations

in a series of formal resolutions and public statements’ issued during a week-end of Republican

meetings.

These developments included: 1. Adoption of formal resolutions by the Indiana Republican Editorial Association and by County G. O. P. chairmen, an legislators for their program to decentralize government and restore constitutional rule in Indiana.”

‘No Compromise’

2. A speech by Arch N. Bobbitt, State Republican Chairman, that “there will be no compromise with the Democrats on the decentralization program.” 2. A statement by U. S. Senator Raymond E. Willis that he and other Republicans in Washington have indorsed the Indiana G. O. P. legislative program. 3. Promises of all county G. o. P. chairmen that they will return to their districts and “sell” the Republican “ripper” program to the people. 4. Adoption of a resolution by the Editorial Association, urging the joint legislative committee to push the election fraud probe “to the end that the rightful holder of the office of Governor may be determined.” The united stand against any retreat in the program came only nine days after G. O. P. majority leaders in the Legislature conferred with the Governor on possible compremises. There were strong hints from both sides following that conference that they were “reaching a common ground” on phases of

executive control.

Vetoes Overridden

The open break for a showdown fight, that is expected to go through the Supreme Court, came Friday when the Governor “vetoed the first of the G. O. P. “ripper” bills which was enacted into law by Republican majorities five minutes after the Governor ‘finished his message. The new law will: take control of the State Tax Board away from the

“ Governor and place it under a Re-

publican-dominated board. Similar setups for Republican control of other departments are provided in other “ripper” bills scheduled to be passed this week. Governor Schricker declared the “decentralization” was unconstitutional and his legal advisers immediately began work on data for a fight in the courts. Chairman Bobbitt in a speech Saturday night before the Republican Editorial Association, said that “since we have -the responsibility of government we cannot carry out a program by working through people appointed by the Democratic Governor.” He predicted that Democratic leaders will “never make an attempt to test the constitutionality of the decentralization measures because they know they are constitutional . . They are merely whistling in the dark.” y Senator Willis, principal speaker at the editors’ banquet, lashed out vigorously against President Roosevelt’s lease-lend [bill in Congress, claiming that it would set the President up as a “military dictator.” “If we give all-out aid to Britain, we shall embark deliberately on the road to war and there will be no stopping place short of war,” the Senator said. “The final result must necessarily be involvement of our Navy, airplanes and our erican boys in the age-old conflict abroad.” The Senator said the President’s aid-to-Britain plan “would convert our nation into a military dictatorship under the guise of making it an arsenal of democracy.” Mr. Willis delivered a left-handed slap at the former G. O. P. Presidential nominee, Wendell Willkie, in his remark that“ the Republican Party could have performed a greater service to the nation (in the recent campaign) if it had sought

GAS OVERCOMES 7 AT JONESBORO

Ohio Skaters Sent to Marion Hospital; Faulty Rink Stove Blamed.

MARION, Ind. Feb. 10 (U. P). — Seven Cincinnati young people, members of a roller skating party, were recovering in Marion General Hospital today from gas fumes which Dr. R. 8. Baskett said escaped from a faulty gas heater at the Idylwyld Rink. J One of the youths, Paul Murphy,

21, of Redding, O., was overcome at the rink, and the others became sick at nearby : Jonesboro, Ind. after boarding a. chartered bus to return home. : Thirty-two persons were examined but only seven were admitted to the hospital. Mr. Murphy and Marcella Newman, 16, Norwood, O., were given oxygen. OtheYs treated were: Ralph Dreffer, 22; Betty Vandanent, 18; Virginia Overberg, 17, and Anita Ortlieb, 22, all of Cincinnati, and George Swartz, 17, of Norwood. Dr. Baskett of Jonesboro, who treated them, said all probably would be released from the hospital late today except Miss Newman. She was expected to be released within the next day or two.

COMMUNITY FUND TO MEET TONIGHT

} The Indianapolis Community Fund will hold its 21st annual meeting at 6:30 p. m. today in the Columbia Club ballroom.

to make the party lines stand out more sharply.” : Mr. Willkie, with minor reservations, indorsed President Roosevelt's aid-to-Britain policies. : The editors’ resolutions opposed the lease-lend bill “because it gives President Roosevelt blanket authority to wage undeclared war without approval of the people.” More than 400 Republican editors, their wives and friends attended the association’s banquet. W. B. Hargrave, Rockville, was elected association president, succeeding James Montgomery of New Albany; William D. Murray of Bicknell vas elected first vice president; Claude Billings of Akron second vice president, and Leo Kinman, Shelbyville, treasurer. More than 150 county G. O.

IF BVERYTHING GOES according to schedule, the first round of the lb mile court battle for control of the State govern=ment probably’ will be under way soon. Up for final passage in the House today are the two Attorney General bills,” which abolish the present office, put it on the ballot

They tlready have passed the Senate despite Democratic challenges cof constitutionality. House ‘Minority crators * have blasted away at them. The G. O. P. has defended them on the grounds that the Attorney General should represent, the people and not be a rubber stamp for the Governor, which they /claim he has been under the appointive system. The Democratic fire has been concentrated on the interim setup. Originally the G. O. P. braintrust hed the Attorney General being appointed by a board composed of the Governor and two elected Republican officials. G. O. P. Senators shied at that one on constitutionality grounds. Then they decided to do away with the office, and have the same board

salary, give him the office and the ‘ same powers, duties and authorities, but not require him to take an oath of office. The hills also say that an emergency exists, and that they take effect at once. If they are passed today, they should be laid on the Governor's ‘desk by mid-week, Some time within three days after that, the Governor will hand them back to the ‘Legislature with his veto on the grounds that they are unconstitutional, pointing out that he is sworn to uphold the laws of Indiana and can’t do his job without an Attorney General.

Veto? Poof!

This the Republicans will ig nore anc rubber stamp them right over his veto. A few days later, the new attorney for the State (it's re ported he may be one of the “seven best legal minds in Ine diana”) will be appointed by the Lieutenant Governor and Secretary of State, probably without the Governor's’ help. With his staff, this new attorney will move to take over his office and then the trouble will start. He will tell the present Attorney General that he has come to replace him? and the Attorney General will say, in effect, “By whose authority?” When the new attorney explains, the Attorney General. still will .doubt him and off to a Marion County court they will go. Meanwhile, the State of Indiana will have two men for the job, or maybe none, according {0 how you look at it. It probably won't take the Marjon County court long to make its decision one way or the other, and then off to the Supreme Court they will go—which is just what poth of them want, the sooner the better. And the whole problem will be laid in the laps of the six-member Supreme Court for their decision.

Here's the Reason

PERHAPS YOU HAVE wondered why the Republicans, if they just wanted to get the At-

1942, didn't draw up a bill to do that and leave things as they are until then. The Attorney General represents State officials in all legal matters. He advises the Governor I all matters of law. With the G. O. P. “ripper” bills pouring in from the Legislature, making the Goyernor a minority member of four beards to run the government and removing most of his administrative and patronage control in other ways, the Attorney General will be asked to pass on their constitutionality and advise the: (Governor. ‘The Governor already has warned the Republicans in advance that he believes much of their “Hdecentralization” program to be unconstitutional. Evidently he has been going over the matter with: some attorneys. He has ‘his personal attorney in his office. And he discusses such matters thoroughly with the Attorney General, legal advisor for all State officials. Naturally, of the Attorney General told the Governor a law was unconstitutional and someone else challenged his ruling, it would be

in 1942 and provide for the hiring of an interim attorney for the State,

necessary for the Attorney General to go to court to prove his point. _. Now, the Republicans figure that with one of their own attorneys in the office with the powers of an Attorney General, he probably would tell the Governor that the new laws were all right and _ that he could see no reason for going to court. That's why the Republicans want this office at once.

Fireworks May |

EVEN IF THE G. O. P. wins this round, there probably will be fireworks all over the lot when May 1 rolls around. That's when the big-shakeup is scheduled to come, with the Republicans appointed by the G. O. P.-domie nated boards taking over the offices to which the Governor has already made appointments. The Demdcratic incumbents will balk at getting out, and the court tests will be under way. Like Mr. Hoover’s chickens, there will be two for every job. If they don’t have the Attorney General, there are several ways in which the Democrats could obtain legal help. For one thing, the Governor's contingency fund is to be used in the interests of the people, and he may decide that their interests are involved enough to hire good legal talent. Or the office-holders themselves may decide to foot the bills. The Republicans haven't helped out much. They are doing everything twice in “decentralizing” the government. So if the Governor himself goes after the “big ripper,” which. does most of the qjob in one shot, there still are 15 or 20 other new laws which will be floating around waiting for a court to get into. ‘8 =-8

Injunction, Too

IN ADDITION to $he constitutionMity contests going on all over town, there also will be injunctions, a mandamus suit for every pay voucher in the State Audie tor’'s office, and other legal skirmishes. Persons who want to transact business with the State won't know just which official is the right one. That's what opponents of the “ripper” program, from both parties; mean when they speak of “chaos and confusion.” From here, they look like a couple of mild words to describe such hurly-burly.

NEW MEN'S STYLES GET THE ONGE OVER

New schemes to make the careless male more “clothing conscious” were being cooked up and the new styles looked over by Hoosier clothiers in convention today. Meeting jointly at the Claypool Hotel were members of the Men’s Apparel Club of Indiana and the Indiana Retail Clothiers and Furnishers, Today‘s program was to include election of officers, following addresses this afternoon by Willard Cole, president of The Hub, Chicago, and David A. Smart: and Arnold Singrich, publisher and editor of e.

pointers from Mrs. Dorothy State, New York fashion and merchandising writer. One of her suggestions was that barber shops be established in men’s clothing stores. The idea, she explained, is that men, leaving the barber shop after being shaved and. having their hair cut, are temporarily conscious of their appearance and might decide to buy a new suit or a new tie, while they were still in the store.

TOWN MEETING OF YOUTH' ENDS

They Return Home Asking ‘Jobs, Not Guns,’ After Rap *at Aid Bill.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10 (U. P.. —More than 5000 youths who protested they want ‘jobs, not guns,” went home today after a three-day demonstration against aid to Great Britain. : The American Youth Congress’ “Town Meeting of Youth” cheered speakers who denounced the Brit-ish-Aid bill and the Selective Service Law, but adjourned without adopting a resolution a t either, Differences of opinion over whether the Administration’s Brit-

the closing session of the Congress, although a majority retained their opposition. . Speakers who defended the bill received scattered applause.

Meet in Arena

While the Congress met in a fight arena to criticize Administration officials who last year sponsored its meeting, but now disown it, two other youth organizations pledged support of Administration policies. Murray Plavner, head of the National Foundation for American Youth, who gave President Roosevelt a booklet on “How to Stop the Junior Fifth Columnists,” said he would ask the Dies Committee today to investigate the American Youth Congress.

Inspired by Marcantonio

The A. ¥.C,, inspired by a plea of Rep. Vito - Marcantonio, that the members each “become a Paul Revere to carry the message of danger to the American people,” decided upon an organized campaign of opposition to the Britisheaid bill. Reid Robinson, C. 1. O. vice president, sent a statement to the A. Y. C. declaring the C. I, O. is “not a fair weather liberal” and pledging support of its anti-British-aid program. Liu Liang-mo, national secretary of the Y. M. C. A. in China, asked the Congress for support of American youth in the war with Japan.

Dean Will Look Into Reports | That Chips Fly at Fraternity Houses.

© BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Feb. 10 (U. P.)~An inquiry into fraternity house gambling will be opened at Indiana University, according to C. E, Edmondson, dean of men, although university officials denied knowledge of gaming conditions as charged by Judge Frank M. Martin of Spencer, Asserting that “university stue dents do much more gambling in fraternity houses and in Bedford than in gambling houses in Bloom ington,” Judge -Martin gave fines and suspended sentences to six local men who pleaded guilty to gambling charges Saturday. .

Wells Undisturbed

Herman B Wells, president of the university, said he was “quite cere tain there is nothing of importance invdlved,” and added: “It is my ime pression that the fraternity houses generally ban gambling, I know .of no fraternity house that allows it.” Dean Edmondson, who handles student, discipline problems, said; “There have not been any recent cases of discipline on fraternity houses gambling. - There may be a little going on but there’s nothing serious to my knowledge. There have been no cases of students lose ing a lot of money, but—of course, we will investigate.” Jack Bruner, Bloomington mayor, denied that any organized gambling existed in the city at the present time and pointed out that a nume ber of dice games and poker games were closed soon after his administration went into power.

Like Soldiers

“Oh, we do know that the boys will play a little poker and perhaps a little ‘rum’ at the pool rooms, but there's nothing professional going on,” he said. “I haven't had a report of an organized game in town for months. “They're just like soldiers,” he added. “The boys will gamble a

little and we can’t keep them from ®t” J
