FOR MAY QUASH POLITICAL FEUD

Experts Expect Him to Deal With Flareup Feb. 23 in Fireside Chat.

By LYLE C. WILSON United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Feb. 4 (U. P. ) —

President Roosevelt was expected

‘today to find an early opportunity to support the national politicial truce that has been shaken by Demcratic National Committee Chairman Edward J. Flynn's complaint about Republicans fouling and foot faulting the war-time agreement. Congressional Republicans generally accepted Mr. Flynn's radio attack on Republican National Committee Chairman Joseph W. Martin, Jr. as offering them an opportunity to hit hard in the approaching campaign without exposing themselves to the charge of weakening the war effort.

Rep. Martin Replies

Mr. Flynn charged Rep. Martin with partisan political maneuvering in violation of a war-time agreement entered into Dec. 9, two days after Pearl Harbor. He said the Republican. Party was more interested in winning control of the! House in this year’s elections than in winning the war. Rep. Martin snapped back that the G. O. P. would support the war all out but would not relinquish its right of suggestion and criticism. “It is obvious from the address delivered by Chairman Flynn” said Rep. Martin, “that what he wants is to liquidate the Republican Party and squelch all eriticism.” Party Lines Snarled

If Mr. Roosevelt intervenes in the dispute he may select the occasion of his next fireside chat Feb. 23. Democratic fund raising dinners are planned for that date. The President may use a strategy which was under discussion by responsible Congressional Democrats long before the war began. The: idea advanced then was that Mr. Roosevelt would find it necessary to make some general political statement fairly early this year and preferably prior to the spring primary season. Party lines had been snarled by dispute over aiding the democracies

FAIR BOARD TO SCAN RULING BY BEAMER

The Fair Board will meet at the State House next Wednesday to consider financial matters and the Attorney General's Fair Grounds con-

trol opinion issued Monday. It is believed likely that the reported move to oust Paul S. Dunn, secretary to Lieut. Gov. Charles Dawson, as Fair manager may come to a head at that meeting. Guy Cantwell of Gosport, a Republican, and E. Curtis White of Indianhapolis, a Democrat, are being mentioned as possible successors to Mr. Dunn who is reportedly “in disfavor’ with some of the Board members. Mr. Dawson, who was re-named Commissioner of Agriculture by Governor Schricker following the Attorney General's ruling, has had two conferences with the chief executive on Fair matters but said that “there are still some things to be settled.”

BISHOP TO DISCUSS EPISCOPAL PROGRAM

The Rt. Rev. Henry W. Hobson, bishop of the Diocese of Southern Ohio, and Miss Mary Johnson of Cincinnati will discuss the future plans and work of the National Council of the Episcopal Church at a meeting here. ‘ The Rt.

so that some Democrats were against and some Republicans were for Mr. Roosevelt's foreign policies.

Avoiding Partisanship

Under those pre-war circumstances responsible party lee” suggested that he might make such statement as this rega: Congressional candidates: “Those members or candidates ior Congress who, regardless of party, place their nation’s interest and defense above petty considerations merit the support of the people.” Such a statement would tend to protect Mr. Roosevelt from charges of partisanship and enable him, if necessary, to show further favors to pre-war supporters of his foreign policies and to indicate further his distrust of some of those who opposed him, regardless of party. There are 435 seats in the House and 34 in the Senate at stake this year. All the notable Senate isolationists are in office for two to four years more but in the House every member must run again this year if he desires to remain a representative.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4 (U, P).— Dr. Francis E.

By HAROLD GUARD United Press Staff Correspondent SINGAPORE, Feb. 4—I had been out on the fortified headland that gives the best view of the Malayan mainland from besieged Singapore island. A couple of Australian soldiers there told me of two companions who had been cut off in the retreat to the island, and had to swim the Strait of Johore to safety after the causeway was blown up. The two arrivals, who had walked through the jungle amidst the Japanese for 10 days, had gone to military headquarters to report. I followed them there, but found they

Dr. Townsend was one of the first to advocate it. But he wanted it only a part of a general, fair and honorable retirement program for all of our senior citizens.” Senator Harry F. Byrd (D. Va), introduced a bill yesterday to repeal that provision of the bill which permits Congressmen to as= sume the benefits of the Civil Service retirement system by notifying the disbursing official and paying 5 per cent on their salaries into the fund until they are eligible to retire.

FARMERS APPROVE FOOD AID TO BRITISH

The British War Relief Society campaign has been indorsed by the American Farm Bureau Federation, | Bdward A. O'Neal, Federation president, announced today. The society maintains Indianapolis branch offices at 838 ILemcke Building. The society plans to spend $300,000 in sending free to Britain more than 5,000,000 packets of selected vegetable seeds. These will be dis= tributed to Britons who have a plot of ground large enough for a small truck garden. Ten varieties of the seeds can be purchased from the branch office of the society here and will be sent by the organization duty free to England. Each package will contain the donor's name and this message: “This package is sent to you by an American who wishes you success.” TYPEWRITER CUT DUE WASHINGTON, Feb. 4 (U. P) — Ultimate cuts in typewriter production of 40 per cent in standard models and 80 per cent in portables were proposed today by the War Production Board after a meeting between representatives of WPB and the typewriter industry. Object of the reductions, officials said, was to enable the industry, which built more than 1.000.000 machines last year, to convert some of its facilities to ordnance production.

'Ants Had Merely Moved Into My Upper Clothing’

Just then I realized that while I had been on the headland I had sat on an ant hill Near headquarters I saw Indian troops on duty and met a Cockney transport control corporal whom I have seen everywhere since the start of the campaign. “Gorblimey!” he said. “You still ‘ere? Why don't you go ‘ome?” Back in Singapore city, air raid whistles were shrilling and detonations of bombs started as I made my way through a long passageway of a building among hordes of Asi« atic air raid shelterers whose clus tering infants, crawling about on the floor, made it necessary to step carefully. I elimbed five flights of stairs because the elevators do not run dure ing alerts, and at last had a chance to get the ants out of my pants!

HONOLULU, Feb. 4 (U. P).— _ Dozens of wet, mud-streaked letters sand Christmas cards were heaped on the postoffice inspector’s desk today. They had been salvaged from a warship in Pearl Harbor. The water had left fantastic markings and patterns on them. Some were blotted and the envelopes of some had come unsealed. Many were written in the last hours of sailors who were Killed in the Japanese sneak attack last Dec. T. As soon as those on which addresses are decipherable dry, they will be put into the mails for de= livery.

CLUES CLASH IN CHILD MURDER

Witnesses’ Descriptions of Suspect on Bicycle

Disagree.

SAN BERNARDINO, Cal. Feb. 4 (U. P.) —Conflicting clues hampered sheriff's deputies today in their efforts to find the man who attacked and strangled 6-year-old Shirley Marie Bell and buried her body in a shallow grave in the hills north of here. Shirley Marie last was seen alive riding on the handlebars of a bicycle with a slender man, believed to be about 30 years old. Several persons told officers of seeing her, deputies said, but their descriptions of the man conflicted. Members of a posse of more than 30 deputies, American Legionnaires and volunteers found the child's body yesterday after a search of 18 hours. It was buried in a grave two feet deep. She had been strangled with her own jumping rope. Chila Attacked

After a preliminary examination, physicians said the girl had been attacked. Shirley Marie had started for school Monday morning. Her mother, Mrs. Robert Bell, discov ered that she never arrived only after the child failed to return by nightfall. Officers learned from the child’s friends that she had been seen on a bicycle. Tracks of the bicycle were found and followed into a ravine. A blood= hound picked up the trail and led searchers to the grave, where the child’s body, fully clothed in her print dress, was found. Officers said prints in the sandy soil gave clear evidence of a struggle.

With sugar and autos to ration in addition to tires, the Board feels that its Chamber cf Commerce space may become too small. The Chamber provided the space to see the Board through its early days and to help by lending secretarial and clerical assistance. Neo decision has been made on the move. Some Board members feel it may be necessary, however, with the expansion of activities. When the members were appointed by Maj. Gen. Robert H. Tyndall, County defense director, last month, they didn't dream they would become rationers of foods as well as tires, although they suspected they might be asked to ration cars. , Now, it appears that this Board may be the official rationing agency for all consumer goods placed on he ration list.
