CAR TITLE CHECK ASKED BY STIVER

Seeks Conference With State Secretary on Rights

Of Police Department.

The old question of who has charge of what in the Motor Vehicle License Bureau was causing

trouble again today. Don F. Stiver, Democratic head

of the State Police, said he would seek a conference with Republican

Secretary of State James Tucker concerning the nights of his department to check applications for car titles before they are issued. He said that his employees who had been checking the title applications since the License Division was transferred to Mr. Tucker last summer were denied the right of checking them last week and that he wanted “to get the set-up straightened out.”

Wants Enforcement Rights

Mr. Stiver said that when the Republicans took control of the Bureau he understood that he was to have charge of al! enforcement divisions and that the title checkers were necessary to enforcement. R. Lowell McDaniel, Mr. Tucker's deputy in charge of the Bureau, said today that the question was one of patronage—that the Democrats wanted three girl checkers to hold their jobs. He said that the title issuing department was clearly under his control and as such he had the right to name all employees in it.

Calls Checking Necessary

He said he intended to replace the Democratic girls who had been working on titles in the title issuing division. As an example of why he needs

A gift from the heart—an emergency shipment of dried blood plasma donated to the Red Cross by Hooslers—Ileft today on a TWA airplane for the East, where it will be turned over to Army and Navy

authorities.

The destination of the shipment was a military secret. Dried blood plasma is used prim-

arily in cases of shock, and it is especially useful in emergencies because patient’s blood does not have to

be “typed,” as in a transfusion.

ARRANGE EXAMS FOR STATE JOBS

Cover Positions Now Held By More Than 1200 in 21 Institutions.

Merit system examinations for 37 types of jobs in 21 state institutions were announced today by W. Léonard Johnson, director of the State Personnel Board. The examinations cover jobs held now by more than 1200 persons and will be held as soon as possible after the deadline for filing applications, Mr. Johnson said.

Where to Get Data

Data concerning time for filing applications and pay may be obe - tained at County Welfare Board offices, state institutions, U. S. Eme ployment Service offices and at the personnel board offices at 141 S. Meridian St. The examinations will cover all types of attendants and attendant supervisors in hospitals, clerks, typists and stenographers, all types of farmers and prison guards, instie tutional chief clerks and sanitary engineers.

Federal Jobs Possible

Single positions to be filled are a chief personnel examiner for the personnel board, a recreational sue pervisor at the Logansport State Hospital and a mechanical trades instructor. The typists, stenographers and sanitary engineers who make good enough grades to get on the pere sonnel board’s certified list may be given Federal jobs by the U. S. Civil Service through an arrangement which has been worked out through the state and Federal agencies.

Governor Schricker received a petition pledging their service to the armed forces if they were released. The Governor said the young men “wish to do their part for a society that has failed them.” He said he could not act on the matter, however.

The Marion County Ration Board checked its January business records today and found it had tires to spare. But tire quotas not rationed during January cannot be carried over into February. The Board released 149 auto-

MEN TAKE GHARGE AT GHURGH DINNER

The women of Friedens Evangelical and Reformed Church can eit back and watch the men-folk perform their culinary duties Wednes-

third annual! “ground hog dinner.” And it actually is “a ground hog” dinner, for the men last week prepered 600 pounds of sausage for the affair. Here is the lineup of chefs for the dinner: Fred Hafer, chief at the Claypool Hotel, and William Roeh-

the cafeteria at Eli Lilly & Co. The men will begin serving at 5 p. m. in the church, Parkway Ave. and S. Alabama St. Those in charge include the Rev. Robert C. Kuebler, who has been pastor of the church for 14 years; and members of the church board, Albert Schroeder, president; Albert Rosebrock, vice president; Curtis McClelland, recording secretary; Walter Brehob, financial secretary; Herman Rosebrock, treasurer; Arno Haupt, William Becker, William Buescher and Fred Koch.

OPPOSES SILVER SUBSIDY WASHINGTON, Feb. 2 (U. P)— Repeal of legislation requiring the Government to pay a subsidy for domestic-mineg silver has been advocated by Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau Jr, publication of testimony before a House appropriations subcommittee re-

day. The occassion is the churchs’

ling and Herman Buerger, who run

who are responsible for their hun-

ger. Strangely the Italian troops are not included in this hatred. This is because during the worst weeks of December, when 2000 died daily from lack of food in Athens and Piraeus, Italy sent a shipload of wheat. The German attitude is one of “massive requisitions” striking at wealthy quarter lodges up to three the poorer classes.

Germans Came First

No country estate has escaped occupation, all agricultural products grown being. reserved by the Germans. Every house in Athens’ weatlhy quarter lodges up to three German or Italian officers, German officers can be seen at the Zonar, Athens’ high-hat restaurant, while the Greeks tighten their belts and eat watery cabbages and potatoes. Prices have risen sky-high. One ocke of potatoes (about 24 lbs.) costs about $5. : An ocke of cheese, the main nourishment of the Greeks, is $25, an ocke of meat, $12.50.

Salaries Remain Low

Salaries of the workers have not increased in proportion. Only factories working for the Germans are open. Other emplovers give their workers one meal daily in order to assure at least one meal to their famished employees. The average loss of weight in Greece since the occupation is almost 34 pounds a person. There is no epidemic so far. This is attributed to the extremely cold winter.

RUSS ADVANGE FAST IN UKRAINE

Rapid Gains Along Entire Southern Front Are Continuing.

MOSCOW, Feb. 2 (U. P)—Russian forces were reported today to be advancing rapidly in the Ukraine toward the Dnieper river line. “Ime

portant announcements” of new Soviet successes were expected shortly. (The London Radio, heard by National Broadcasting Co. in New York, said today that Russian forces had started a mass attack on Kharkov, key Ukraine city.)

Withhold Reports

The Russians were said to be withholding reports on individual gains already achieved until an overall communique can be published showing consolidation of advances along the whole southern front. Reports indicated that the forces of Marshal Semyon Timoshenko were expected to give the Germans no respite until the Dnieper river is again reached. Timoshenko's troops were advancing by forced marches by day and night, leaving behind small detachments to surround and crush strong points in the Nazi rear guard command.

Block Spring Offensive

The Dnieper would give Timoshenko a powerful position from which to halt the expected Nazi spring offensive across the Ukraine in a second attempt to break into the Caucasus. The Dnieper line would also enable the Russians to bring pressure on the German Black Sea lines and possibly force a general Nazi retirement from the shore of this sea as well as from Crimea.

LONDON, Feb. 2 (U. P)—Russian shock troops, pressing westward on the southern front, have captured the town of Gavrilovka, 65 miles south of Kharkov, after two days of fierce fighting, the Moscow radio said today.

Here are some increases as reported by Will Smith, Internal Revenue Collector for Indiana: Social Security payments in January 1941 were $2,848.771.53 and this Vear in the same month the payments soared to $4,096,433.42—an increase of $1,247,661.89,

Returns Filed Earlier

Income tax for the first month of 1941 equaled $1,510.068.81 compared with this year’s total of $4.096,433.42 The miscellaneous tax collections (which include the tax on liquor, beer, admissions, cosmetics and the excise taxes) for January 1941 were $6,068,539.93 compared with the more than doubled figure for January 1942 of $13,056,172.09. Mr. Smith also reported today that the early filing of income taxes this year is “very heavy.”

RULES ON PAYMENTS TO SPECIAL JUDGES

An appropriation must be made by the County Council before the County Auditor can issue a warrant paying a special judge for services rendered while serving on a Marion County Municipal Court bench, Attorney General George Beamer ruled today. Special judges are asked for by litigants very rarely in the municipal courts here, Otto K. Jensen, chief examiner of the Board of Accounts, to whom the ruling was given, said. The opinion does not pertain to judges pro tem for whom a $500 appropriation is made annually for each court.

Only 94 tubes for automobiles and light trucks were rationed, leaving 226 in the quota balance while 453 heavy truck tubes were released, leaving a balance of 324.

FIRST PATROL FLIGHT TO BE MADE SUNDAY

Group 7 of the Civil Air Patrol, including 60 pilots in Hancock County and the eastern half of Marion County, will take to the air Sunday from Sky Harbor and Eastport fields for the first patrol flight. Objectives will be designated for the patrol planes which will fly in formation and observe ground cone ditions. The Group met yesterday at Sky Harbor airport. Speakers were John V. Heizer, group commander; Ede ward PF. New, adjutant, and Dr. William E. Barb, assistant adjutant.
