YOUNG DEMOCRATS END ALL BUT ONE ELECTION CONTENT
® 2
Meet Party Candidates as Own Balloting Is ‘Cut and Dried.’
With the election of officers practically a cut and dried affair, Indiana’s Young Democrats turned their attention to politics and candidates this afternoon as their convention neared a close. The delegates were to hear a patriotic address by Governor Schricker at the Claypool Hotel after which they were scheduled to name Robert Agnew, Frankfort, deputy attorney general, as the new president. Only one contest developed in the other five races and leaders expected it to be ironed out before voting time. Confer With Candidates

Spring Is Comin’ Way Down South
By Science Service
WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.—Spring 'way Down South. Tobacco seed beds are coming along nicely in the southern Atlantic area, the U. S. Weather Bureau reports, and farmers are planting early - tatoes in areas near the Gulf. There would be more going on, but the soil has been too wet to plow in a good many places. The last few days have been abnormally chilly in the South. Temperatures have gone down almost to freezing in northern Florida, with a certain amount of damage to truck creps still standing in the fields. By contrast, temperatures in the North, and on the West Coast, have been normal. There have been some welcome rains in parts of the North, and some that were not quite so welcome in northern California and the other Pacific Coast States.

FIGHT AGAINST DUMPS PUSHED
South Siders Are Urged to Protest at Works Board Meeting Friday.
Residents from all areas on the
Side Turners Hall last night to voice their protest to the location
are “blacking out” their neighborhoods. Mrs. Robert Buehl, spokesman for the newly organized South Side Health and Improvement Club, attended the meeting sponsuvred by the South Side Civic Club and urged the group to appear before the Works Board next Friday and demand that the dumps be closed and if necessary, established *“‘outside the city limits.” Her group, composed of 250 women, wants the dump at Bluff Road and Regent St. converted into a playground.
Committee Is Named
Arthur Paetz, South Side Civic Club president, appointed a committee of four to investigate the dumps and take further action if the Works Board fails to act after the Friday meeting. The committee is composed of Mr. Paetz, A. J. Voigt, Dr. Robert Buehl and Leo Kriner, South Side Civic Ciub secretary. Mr. Kriner said they were considering asking a Works Board member, a member of the City Health Department and a representative of the Police Department and the committee members to visit the dumps and arrest any dump ordinance violators. Mr. Kriner charged that the $25 license has been paid on only cne city dump.
ATTUCKS STUDENTS ON AIR TOMORROW
A M-minute radio program of music and historical dramatizations will be given tomorrow by pupils and faculty of Crispus Attucks High School. The program will be broadcast by WIRE at 11 a. m. and will be in observance of Negro History Week. Russell A. Lane, school principal, announced that the historical dramatizations would depict the part Negroes played in the building of the Pyramids of Egypt, historical incidents from the Revolutionary War, scenes from slave insurrections, and Negro participation in the Civil War. The dramatizations have been prepared by Dr. Joseph C. Carroll of the social science department, and Miss Emily Garrett of the English department. The Girls’ Glee Club, directed by Miss Hortense Bullock, will sing “Let My People Go,” “America,” |“Lift Every Voice and Sing,” and The Star Spangled Banner.”
G. 0. P. CLUB HEARS TALK ON PRESIDENTS
Dr. C. T. Malan, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, spoke on the lives of “Washington and Lincoln” last night at a meeting of the Morton Republican Club at the {Odd Fellows Hall, 10th and Temple | Sts. In speaking of Abraham Lincoln,
Dr. Malan quoted Marshal Joffre! {when he visited the tomb of Lin-
coln: “Unless the netions of the worid, and unless thinking humanity embodies the philosophy of life of this man in its thinking, democratic government, like monarchical government, must fall by the wayside.” Of George Washington he said: “Those rugged virtues of the first President of the United States stand forth with new effulgence at a time when our country is confronted with numerous and baffling problems.”

TEN-YEAR-OLD Johnny Gullans, son of an Army captain and brother of an Army sergeant, today was winning the second phase of his big battle. He was back home at 3046 N.
Delaware St. after winning the first phase at Methodist Hospital. When he was rushed to the hospital last Dec. 13, it was another tragic ending of the old story of boys playing with a gun. A bullet from a 45-caliber pistol smashed through Johnny's chest and right lung, and nicked the spine, leaving his legs paralyzed. Doctors at first despaired of Johnny's life, but by Christmas they thought he would live. They were not certain he would ever walk again. Two days ago, the doctors came to lock Johnny over as he lay in a white bed of the sun room at Methodist Hospital. They told him to kick his legs. He did! So Johnny, sure that he would be able to walk when he recovers from the chest wound, was taken

CLEAR OFFIGERS IN JAIL DEATH
Investigators Find No Evidence of Negligence In Suicide.
Investigations into the City Jail suicide of Mrs. Iva Maude Keran because she was humiliated by her arrest on a traffic charge were completed today with “no evidence of negligence.” Friends of Mrs. Keran had be-
lieved that measures could have been taken to prevent her action and that the authorities might have been arbitrary in making her spend the night in the jail. In fact, one pointed out that a drunken driver arrested the same evening was released on his own recognizance.
‘Too Ashamed,” She Said
Capt. Leo Troutman of the traffic department said that a person is released on his or her recognizance if some local citizen comes to the police station to vouch for the prisoner. Mrs. Keran, he explained, would not permit officers or jail attendants to notify anyone because she would be “too ashamed.”
of Mrs. Keran's own attitude toward her arrest the police were forced to confine her overnight even though they would have preferred to release her on bond or her own recognizance.
All Probers Agree Separate investigations into the matter were made by Chief Mor-
rissey, Safety Board President LeRoy Keach and Judge John Niblack,
day afternoon.
Each said he could find no evidence of negligence on the part of the officers or the City Jail attendants. Mrs. Keran was arrested on a charge of leaving the scene of an accident. She used her scarf to hang herself in her cell within 10 minutes after she had talked to jail attendants.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7 (U. P).— Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo, Filipino patriot, has turned Quisling again after 42 years of professed loyalty to the United States. Gen. Douglas MacArthur reported from Bataan peninsula that the
| 72-year-old Aguinaldo had executed
the second great double-cross of his life. Captured by the Japanese
‘Iwhen they invaded the Philippines,
Aguinaldo had broadcast an appeal to Filipino and American troops to surrender. Gen. MacArthur described him as a “sort of Quisling.” Aguinaldo had taken the oath of loyalty to the United States after leading a bitter insurrection against American authority. As far as is known, he abided faithfully by his oath up to the time of the Japanese invasion. On May 21, 1941, he wrote to the Spanish War Veterans of America that “times like the present call for the active union of American and Filipino veterans to preserve our democracy and the liberties of the peoples who love justice and free institutions.” Some American officials who knew him believed that he was acting for the Japanese only under duress or compulsion. They refused to believe that he was a willing Quisling. Aguinaldo was in Hongkong, China, in 1898, a refugee from Spanish repression, when war between the United States and Spain
broke out. The commander of America’s
Report Aguinaldo, Filipino Patriot, in 2d Double Cross
Asiatic fleet, Commodore George Dewey, took Aguinaldo along as a guide and native ally when the fleet set out to engage the Spaniards in Manila Bay.
Commodore Dewey put Aguinaldo ashore and gave him arms for native troops who were already in the field. When American forces under Lieut. Gen. MacArthur—father of the present commander of American forces in the Philippines—took Manila, Aguinaldo’s rebels were on the city’s outskirts, angry at the American refusal to let them enter Manila in triumph and in vengeance upon their Spanish oppressors. In the early months of 1899 it became known that the United States was going to keep the Philippines, and Aguinaldo’s forces broke into open revolt. For almost a year there was incessant guerrilla warfare, with the Americans gradually scattering the Filipino rebels into steaming jungles and the malaria-infested hills of Luzon. But until Aguinaldo could be taken, the revolt could not be ended. Col. Frederick Funston, in a cleverly executed coup, effected the capture in November, 1901,

FDR YARDSTICK ON WAR WAITED
Half of Congress Opposed Some Defense Bills,
Observers Say.
By LYLE C. WILSON United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Feb. 7—This politically minded city wants to know today at what date during the national dispute over foreign policy President Roosevelt will begin to check Congressional voting records to determine whether the members have backed up the Government. If he goes back far enough he will find close to half the members of both houses and including many members of both parties recorded as having voted against measures sought by the Administration either directly for national defense or to aid the democracies. Chairman Edward J. Flynn of the Democratic National Committee raised the question in an address here in which he said election this year of a Congress hostile to the President would be equivalent of a major military reverse.
Amends Flynn View
Mr. Roosevelt somewhat amended the implications of that statement at his press conference yesterday. He said that what the country wants is Congressmen who back up their Government, regardless of party. Some observers combed the voting list today to select potential blacklist names in the expectation that Mr. Roosevelt will implement his statement by actively opposing certain offenders either in primaries or election contests. Others are waiting until Mr. Roosevelt more definitely indicates his own campaign year intentions and the precise yardstick of his judgment of the voting records before undertaking to identify the statesmen—Republican or Democratic—who will enjoy his support or experience his opposition. Norris Backs Stand
That the President is ready to move freely across party lines to obtain election of Congressmen who back up the Government generally is recognized. It is no new development for him to ignore a party line or to intervene in a Democratic primary aganst politicians have opposed him. Senator George W. Norris (Ind. Neb.), a supporter of the President’s foreign policy, said he thought Mr. Roosevelt's position reasonable. Senator Bennett C. Clark (D. Mo.) said he believed the President was “wise to adjourn partisan politics for the duration of the war— that’s what we've been striving for.”
Statement by Wheeler
Senator Burton K. Wheeler (D. Mont.), leader of the former isolationist, said: ‘The greatest service that the people of this country could render their country would be to elect people to office who would do their own thinking and
not be rubber stamps for any party leader whether he he Democrat or Republican.” Wendell L. Willkie, 1940 Republican Presidential candidate, who is expected to campaign against prewar Republican isolationists this year, interpreted Mr. Roosevelt's statement as a repudiation of Mr. Flynn.

HOUSE IRKED BY ‘GLAMOUR’ JOBS
Temporarily Holds Up Pay Of Douglas and Dancer Mayris Chaney.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 7 (U. P.).— The Congressional mood is such today that the House may even refsue to grant the Office of Civilian Defense money to pay the salaries of Melvyn Douglas and Mayris Chaney. Mr. Douglas, the movie actor, is the ‘recently appointed head of the OCD Arts Council, and Miss Chaney, rhythmic dancer and protege of Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, is in charge of children’s activities of the OCD’'s physical fitness division.
The Congressional temper was aptly demonstrated in the case of Donald Duck. The Treasury agreed to pay Walt Disney $80,000 for a seven-minute Donald Duck cartoon that would let income taxpayers know what was done with their money during the war.
Oppose Donald Duck Bill
The House, sitting in committee of the whole, decided that Donald wasn't funny $80,000 worth, and voted 78 to 63 against paying the bill. The fireworks broke out yestere day when the Appropriations Committee brought out a $160,000,000 deficiency bill, making money available that already was being spent. Mr. Disney's $80,000 was included. The House immediately adopted an amendment specifying that no one was to get any of the OCD'’s $100,000,00 unless he was directly concerned with the protection of citizens from air raids and other war hazards.
Action Is Delayed With the shots coming from every corner, Chairman Clarence Cannon moved that the House discontinue consideration of the bill for the time being. All actions taken by the House yesterday in committee of the whole are subject to review. The $100,000,000 with which the OCD had planned to purchase gas masks, fire engines and medical supplies is tied up, meantime. OCD Executive Director James Landis said in reply to the charges that his organization was deter= mined to fulfill “the grave respon= sibilities imposed” and will not alter its course because of “petty criticism or personal attack.”
‘Bundles for Eleanor’ Rep. Clare E. Hoffman (R. Mich.) proposed a “Bundles for Eleanor” campaign to help Mrs. Roosevelt care for the “unfortunate idle rich.” Mrs. Roosevelt is the unpaid associate director of OCD. Rep. Charles I. Faddis (D. Pa.) compared the per diem conpensation of Mr. Douglas, which would amount to $8000 a year, to the sal=ary of Gen. Douglas MacArthur. “Now we hear,” Rep. Faddis con= tinued, “that Mayris Chaney is be=ing put on the payroll at $4600. That's twice as much as we were paying Capt. Colin Kelly,

Rep. Phillip A. Bennett (R. Mo.) told the House that if Miss Chaney is worth $4600 a year to the OCD, Sally Rand, the fan dancer, “should easily be worth $25,000.” Rep. Bennett said that so far as he knew the only qualifications “this relatively unknown dancer” has for her position “is that she has named one of her dances ‘the Eleanor Glide’ ” in honor of Mrs. Roosevelt. “If that is the prime requisite for such an important job as the salary would indicate,” he added, “I promise you that I will persuade Sally Rand to name six of her ose trich fans Capt. Jimmie, Capt, Elliott, Lieut. John, Ensign Franke lin, Sistie and Buzzie, respectively.”
