RECREATION FOR SOLDIERS ISSUE
Park Board Members Want To Co-ordinate Army Play-time Here.
By RICHARD LEWIS Attempts to work out a recreation program in the City for Ft. Harrison trainees have so far resulted in chaos, according to Park Board members who yesterday set themselves the task of straightening things out. A great number of different plans have been proposed to military authorities by a number of different people, according to Miss Gertrude V. Brown, recreation member of the Board. So far, she said, the basic idea of providing recreation for the soldiers has not%begun to materialize. She urged the co-ordination of effort under the Park Board as the solution.
Seek Joint Program
Both private and public recrealion agencies are anxious to provide recreation facilities for draftees. They differ on the method. What Park Board members want
- to do is to sit down with repre-
sentatives of the private agencies and work out a joint program. This would then be presented for the approval of Military authorities. The type of recreation which -would be offered, of course, hasn't been discussed. But the general idea is to provide popular sports and social activities, including regular dances. :
Want Downtown Location
The recreation spot would be somewhere downtown, convenient to transportation terminals. This is about as far as the Park Board has gone in developing the idea which would be expanded or modified by the agencies. Providing recreation for draftees in training is not a new idea. It was done in a great many cities during the World War. In the present emergency, Board members feel that some permanent recreation facility has to be set up. They are anxious to get underway so that Indianapolis won't lag behind other cities in providing defense recreation.
TOWN SEEKING 1990 LEGION CONVENTION
COEUR D’ALENE, Ida. (U. P.).— elieving there’s nothing like getting a bid in early for a national convention, Coeur d’Alene has invited the American Legion to hold its national gathering in this
northern Idaho city 50 years from
now. “Pick Coeur d’Alene in 1990” buttons. will be distributed when the official invitation for the conventtion is extended at this year’s meeting in Milwaukee. Kootenai Post No. 14 here explains that most legionnaires will be well past 90 by the time Coeur d’Alene wants the convention, that they will be few in number and that the city will have grown to metropolitan proportions and be able to handle a national convenion.

ACTION HELD UP ON 2 TRUCK TAX BILLS
Ignoring requests of G. O. P.leaders, the Senate Roads Committee has voted to hold from the floor two bills that would repeal both the truck tire and weight taxes. O. Bruce Lane (R. Bainbridge), committee chairman, said he had been “requested to report the bills out” but committee members balked. Senator Albert Ferris (R. Milton) argued against action on the bills
