It was expected that additions}; groups of eligible buyers would be named. Generally, the ration- | ing of the nation’s estimated 670.000 new cars was expected to be more liberal than the tire program. | All eligible buyers, including gov-| ernment agencies, must secure cor tificates authorizing purchase from | local ration boards. It is expected] that the boards will be instructed] to consider future as well as pres-| ent needs of government agencies eligible for the new cars. | There will be certain “exempt” categories of purchasers who will not be required to secure certificates. These include automobile! dealers buying new cars for re-sale and a few Federal agencies.

4500 LOSE AUTO DRIVING RIGHTS

48 Pct. Increase Shown In Suspensions for

Drunkenness.

The results of Governor Schrick-| er's order to enforce strictly the| state's driver license laws was | shown today by a summary of 1941 drivers license activities released by | the Department of Public Safety. James Dunn, executive assistant! of the Public Safety Department, reported that the licenses of over

4500 drivers convicted of drunken driving were suspended during the past year. This is an increase of 48! per cent over 1940 and 250 per cent over 1938. Two hundred and sixty persons, lost their operators’ licenses last year | for leaving the scene of an accident’ where only 19 persons suffered loss of license in 1938 from this cause, Mr. Dunn reported. Nineteen licenses were suspended | on conviction of manslaughter and three for the use of a vehicle in| commission of a felony last year.| One license also was suspended for | operating under the influence of a| narcotic. Failure to satisfy judgment under | the Financial Responsibility Act] caused the suspension of 304 licenses. | Only a few licenses were reported | suspended for this cause last year.

OPTIMISTS TO SEE FILM Indianapolis Optimist Club will |

meet at noon tomorrow in the CoTumbia Club. A technicolor picture | of the Indianapolis Railways system will be shown.

Indiana Politics By Vern Boxell

THERE'S JUST a chance that the Democraticcontrolled State Fair Board, in asking for an Attorney General's opinion on State Fair management, may be toying around with political dynamite. It's a carry-over fight from the bitter partisan row of last spring, and in view of Governor Schricker’s recent plea for an adjournment of politics for the duration, it may turn up a 1942 campaign issue for the G. O. P. This is what has happened: Under the 1933 McNutt Act, the Governor always has appoimted the Lieutenant Governor Commissioner of Agriculture to handle the Fair. The State Fair Board also has chosen the Lieutenant Governor's secretary as Fair superintendent. When Governor Schricker took office, he named Lieut. Gov. Charles Dawson to handle the Fair and the Board named Paul Dunn, his secretary, as superintendent. Then the G. O. P.-con-trolled Legislature passed a law | making the Lieutenant Governor | commissioner of agriculture and | | placing him in control of the Fair Grounds. : But the Supreme Court, in its sweeping opinion on the Governor’s powers, said that the man- | agement of all State property is vested in the Governor. Under this, it appears that control of the Fair Grounds will return to the Governor. It’s also likely that control of the Fair itself will re-

main with the Board. | Evansville, told friends here reSuch a decision would strip Mr. | Dawson of what little patronage | he has left in connection with the annual exposition. And this | could be made into a G. O. P. battle-cry. Of course, it still would be possible for the Governor to delegate control of the Fair Grounds to Mr. Dawson under executive order to take away some of the sting. Mr. Dunn's fate would rest with the Board. The Attorney General’s ruling

is due Jan. 24. Meanwhile, both Democratic and Republican leaders are figuring out all the angles.
