THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES Question of Convoys Discussed By League of Women Voters; Merit System Gain Cited

By ROSEMARY REDDING Times Staff Writer KOKOMO, Ind, May 15.—Public opinion-making groups have centered their work on the question of convoys rather than the nation’s immediate problem of defense production, Miss Constance Roach, or-

ganization secretary of the National League of Women Voters, told Indiana League members here yesterday.

League's plan, both national and state, to “win the battle of production” through the arousing of public opinion. The meeting included a lively debate precipitated by several members asking if the National League favored the use of convoys. The biennial council meeting which opened yesterday morning was to conclude today noon when Miss Roach was to speak at a luncheon at the Country Club on “The Every Member Approach.” “The contribution of the League,” Miss Roach pointed out, “is to educate the citizenry to understand the battle of production and mobilize public opinion behind its bottle= necks. This does not include the problem of transportation—that is the problem of the Government “experts.” Miss Roach pointed out that the League feels this country has world interests and that in a vote by League executives on the question of support to the Lease-Lend Bill, a three-fourths majority voted for support.

stressed that the immediate concern of League was hot convoys but to ‘get behind the production problem, help grease the wheels of industry and smooth over the labor problem. She emphasized that the convoy question changed from day to day and since League members could not hope to keep “up to date” on developments they should leave the problem to the experts. Miss Roach advised the League not to allow their new defense program to evolve into study groups but to include “much talking and the use of newspapers and radio to carry on an educational program.” She added that in some places, it was already popular to talk about peace and demobilization and that people close to the defense problem were afraid people would fail to do the immediate thing—production. The defense program of the League will include study and public education on the following seven points: taxation and defense, interAmerican co-operation, living costs and defense, school facilities and housing in defense areas, relief in relation to defense, collective bargaining in connection with defense and civil liberties in relation to defense.

president of the Indiana Merit System Association, told members that their job was not done and that for the system to succeed they must continue their work so that the next Legislature will be thoroughly convinced that it should continue gains already made. Miss Roach told members that the merit system gain made in Indiana was the most important made in the nation this year. Mrs, Walter Greenough, Indianapolis, League member and vice president of the Association, traced the League's six year’s preparation for the bill's passage. Miss Mary Sinclair, the League's executive secretary, in her report yesterday told members that a campaign as intensive, but perhaps not so long, as the merit system one will be*needed to have the school attendance division replaced in the State Department of Education,
