WON'T QUIT; BOBBITT SAYS

subcommittes and Mr. Bobbitt ast night, it was reported, the subcom-

mittee presented a petition, signed

WISH Director

by 16 members and dated yesterday,| &

directing the chairman to call a special meeting for Friday.

Mr. Bobbitt rejected it on the ground that it did not permit the three-day notice required by committee rules. : Anti-Bobbitt committee members declared the ouster movement was a “party harmony movement.” They declared the party had been split up in numerous factions over Mr. Bobbitt, and asserted that actually only “three or four district chairmen were behind him.” These were referred to as Byron Jones, Sixth District; Edwin V. O’Neel, 10th, and ‘George Dickman, 11th. Among the complaints about Mr. - Bobbitt voiced by some of those at yesterday’s session were that he had acted “dictatorially”; that he had announced the recent Supreme Court decision on the decentralization laws would be the 1942 campaign issue, and that he had ignored members of the committee.

‘Ran the Committee”

~ “Mr. Bobbitt didn’t pay much attion to the views of his committee members,” one member of the committee charged. “Instead of being guided by the committee, he ran the conimittee. “Whenever he asked the opinion of any of the committee members, it always was in the presence of a large group, and the members hesitated to speak out in so large a group for fear of stirring up party discord.” Mr. Bobbitt said that when he asked the subcommittee last night why he should resign, Mr. Gates said: “Because you haven't co-oper-ated with the committee—you haven't taken me and Mr. Emison into your confidence.” “It’s pretty hard to take people into your confidence who never come in to see you,” Mr. Bobbitt said he replied.

Miles Reed (above), former program director for the National Broadcasting Co. at Chicago, today was named program director of WISH, new Indianapolis NBC Blue Network station, C. Bruce McConnell, Capitol Broadcasting Co. president, announced today. Mr. Reed was on the staff of WCFL at Chicago for six and a half years where he created the “Music Lovers Program,” voted the most popular program originating in Chicago in 1941. James Boyer of Indianapolis will be musical director for the new station which will be formally opened with a public open house about two weeks from now.

DEMOCRATS HAPPY OVER SKIP-ELECTION

questions, both parties.agreed unofficially that it will ‘probably take a court suit to determine whether a City election will be held next year. It is expected that the suit would be filed after the new County Election Board is- named next spring. The Board is composed of a Republican and a Democrat named by the county chairmen of both parties and the County Clerk. If the Board decides to hold no election, any candidate may file suit demanding that an election be held. Conversely, if the Board decides to hold the election, some Democratic incumbent city official may attempt to prevent it by in1 junction. The alleged error originated in the move of the Republican-domin-ated Assembly fo change the eélections for Indiana cities and towns except Indianapolis from 1942 to 1943. ’ This would keep in power an extra year incumbent officials, 70 per cent of whom are Republicans. The Dengcrals did the same thing in 1933. However, in passing the law, the Legislature repealed the 1933 law which set up the election machinery for Indianapolis. With no machirfery, according to the interpretation of most attorneys, there can

be no election.

Gen, Marshall Says Pei

. tions of Selectees Used “As ‘Political Club.’ (Continued from Page One)

(D. Ga.) of the Senate [Foreign Relations Committee said aster a White House conference that the Adthinistration contemplates no new international moves “for the time being, ‘at least.” 8. Congressional non - interventionists decided on a four-point conf: program opposing a Congressional declaration of a national emergency, any move for a new American Expeditionary Force, and joint occupation of Iceland by the United States and Great Britain. 7. Authoritative quarters reported that the Army is planning a rigorous, two-year training program for 1,500,000 troops to prepare them for emergency duty.

Says Draftees Victimized

Marshall did not mention any names in discussing petitions from selectees. Senators Burton K. Wheeler (D. Mont.) and Robert A. Taft (R. 0O.), anti-interventionist leaders, repeatedly have asserted that they have received numerous petitions from selectees urging that they be permitted to leave the Army. ‘Marshall testified that soldiers who have asserted their SPpoyiion to extension of their service been led into this sort of thing. 19 “All I ask is that the whole problem of what we're going to do be settled because I don’t want to see these young men victimized.” « The chief of staff testified that he received a telegram yesterday from Lieut. Gen. Hugh Drumm, First Army commander, advising that he had “instructed his command that efforts to get petitions from men in the armed forces were a clear violation of Army regulations.

Urges Emergency Action Marshall urged that Congress recognize the situation by declaring a national emergency. Chairman Andrew J. May (D. Ky.) of the House Military . Affairs Committee, introduced a resolution yesterday to declare an emergency and permit retention of - selectees, National Guardsmen and Reservists in active service for the duration. Marshall said that legislative restrictions have “stymied” the deployment of troops over vital areas from Alaska to the Caribbean. He cited the need of troops in Alaska, Trinidad, Iceland and other similar

now be met. “I believe everyone is aware of

ganizing the army under the present limitations,” he said. “I am confronted daily with many ptoblems of shipping and transportation and I'm Yymied for an answer. “We have had a difficult job in building up and providing shelter for this army. Every move we make is examined, criticized, analyzed by the public. “It is exceedingly difficult to build up an army under these circumstances.” Protests Lash President Marshall said that since his original recommendations he had received “voluminous mail” on the subject. : He said he had received 241 un-, favorable reactions, most of them “marked by evidence of collusion,

signatures, and expressions of Bundistt or Christian Front attitudes.” “It was quite evident that a large number came from a little group in Brooklyn, N. Y., of German ancestry,” he said. “Another large number came from Passaic, N. J." “Many of these were marked by extremely strong language against the President and the chief of staff,” he said. Marshall said he preferred that Congress permit extension of service through a declaration of national emergency rather than by “piecemeal” amendment of the various statutes. “If you attempt a patchwork procedure,” he said, “you will do infinite harm to the Army. You will be putting me in a very difficult. position if a delay of five or six months results while debate is being held on specific proposals.” Denies AEF Planned

Marshall said his recommendation that the statutory ban against use of guardsmen and selectees outside the Western Hemisphere be. lifted was in no way ‘a recommendation for an American Expeditionary Force. “That’s a matter of broad general policy between the commander-in--chief and the Congress,” he said. Marshall said it would be “most unwise” to present the facts of the world situation as the Army sees it to Congress and the people. The information is of such a nature, he said, that its publication would clearly be against public interest. . - He said he saw a sharp difference between a declaration of emergency and a state of war. ‘ .A state of war includes an emer“but an emergency does not involve a state of war.” “In fact,” he said, “a state of war can best be avoided by recognition of the emergency.”
