Translating the House neu-

nl if President Roosevelt
were running for re-election
‘today on the single issue of foreign policy he would be the
‘winner again. |
But in a Presidential election turning on that single issue, Mr. Roosevelt's hypothetical isoldtioniss opponent
would take no such electoral walloping as have his three actual Presidential election vie t im s, 38 J ‘Herbert C. Hoover got only 59 electoral votes in 1933, Alf M. Landon got eight four years later and Wendell L. Willkie can be credited with little better than a first down for the 82 he won last year. The Roosevelt - Willkie popular vote was close. But the presidential sweepstakes pays off on electoral votes exclusively.
Breakdown of Votes
A United Press breakdown on the 212-t0-104 vote by which the House arms American merchant ships and sends them into war zones discovered 20 states in each of which a majority of representatives voting were against the Neut lity Act amendments. If those votes in the House accirrately - reflected opinion back home and if a presidential election were taking place today between Mr. Roosevelt and an isolationist presidential candidate on the issue of foreign policy, the President would be

overhead and. dipped its wings. Governor Schricker stood atop the platform, bareheaded, and he made a speech. He was saying that these are days when the responsibility lies ‘heavily on you and me to show that Democracy can work.
Indiana Shows the Way
Directly below the platform .stood the 12th District Legion color guard and drum and bugle corps at attention. - The Governor was saying Franz | that Indiana can show the way to co-operation and that we can tell Hitler and his cohorts that de-| mocracy knows: how to take care of itself. And then it happened that the sun came out through a hole in the sky as though it had suddenly made the decision it had ‘been striving to make all day. That was the flag-raising ceremony at the great Bridgeport Brass Works on Holt Road yesterday aftternoon. The workers chipped in and bought the flag, welded 60 feet of pipe to make the flagpole and built a platform to hve the ceremony an air of dignity The ceremony was ‘held in the parking lot area just west of the huge rolling mill and fabrication building, nearly completed. It is a building nearly two blocks; long. Shells and cartridge cases will be], made there,
Ahead of Schedule
The plant is not yet finished, although it is considerably ahead of the schedule planned by the Webster Engineering Co., its builders. The reason for the early flag
raising? : It seemed that officials and work-|P men simply wanted to raise a flag. It was a symbol of what they were doing. So they raised it as soon as they had sunk the flagpole into the ground, As a finishing touch, they Se also placed a box con affirming the patriotism of BAe ron
“|into the concrete base of the pole.
Lorris Alderman, the t man to be hired on the job last May, presented the flag to A. L. Hartridge, assistant construction superintendent, who in turn presented it to the Governor. The drum and bugle corps played, with its white clad, drum majorettes prancing. Carl Vestal, Marion County Building Trades Council president, was master-of-ceremonies. E. D. Knobel, construction tendent, thanked the men for beating the schedule so far. H.-W. Suess of the Defense Plant Corp. Washington, spoke a few words of praise for the workmen.
Flag Gets Tangled
Then the Governor raised the flag, but it got tangled on the way up the pole and wouldn't fly. Someone said: “It’s like the defense program—tangled up at the moment.” But instantly, a group of men ran forward, lowered the flag, untangled it. Then it rose again, flying bravely and prettily, too. It seemed that everything was straightened out by the forthright action of the men and then the sun came out. 4

DELAY DILLON JAIL SENTENCE
New Pleadings Planned After. Conviction on Three Charges.
Sentencing of Thomas Dillon, alleged operator of gambling houses in Indian#ipolis for many. years, to 50 days in jail was postpoped today pending the filing of new pleadings by his attorney. Dillon, who also is under another 90-day jail sentence in another gaming case, was found guilty after six hours deliberation by a jury in Municipal Court 3 last night on three charges growing out of his alleged operation of the Budweiser Club, 105% W, Maryland St., a gambling house. The jury also. recommended _that| Dillon be fined $750, and made no provision for either the fine or the sentence to be suspended.
Will Complete Records
Dillon: was given the 90-day sentence by Judge Pro Tem George Rinier in ‘Municipal Court: 4 last Oct. 11, but court records up to last night had not shown any entry of the conviction. ; That case [supposedly had been appealed to [Criminal 'Court, but deputy county clerks said Judge Rinier had never handed down a conviction record. Judge | Rinier yesterday said he would be in court today to complete the records in the case. “There has been a motion for a new trial in that case, and I have been holding the affidavit in the drawér of my desk pending disposition of defense pleadings,” Judge Rinier said.” “After overruling the motion for a new trial, I will approye an appeal for Dillon.” e state’s main witness in the trial before. the Municipal Court 3 jury yesterday was John B. Marsh, 25, now serving a sentence for grand larceny. He testified that he lost about $500 at the Budweiser Club and that he saw Dillon personally take money from the gambling table where house winnings are kept.
Padlock: Action Pends
James A. Watson, attorney for Dillon, charged in arguments to the jury - that evidence against Dillon was framed and that he was “singled out” for arrest while “many other professional gamblers are permitted to operate in Indianapolis unmolested.” Also’ pending’ against Dillon and his Budweiser Club are padlock proceedings, filed in Criminal Court by Prosecutor Sherwood Blue several weeks ago.
