sociation proudly puts emphasis on the word “Christian” in its name. The words “young” and “men” are used to suggest that a man is as young as he feels. Boys as young as 9 can join, and men as old as 90 might join, too. The membership is divided into two groups, according to ages. Men past 18 comprise the senior department; boys between 9 and 18 form the junior department. Life is said to begin at 40, and by that token nine Indianapolis men who have belonged to the Y. M. C. A. for four decades or more could say they're really living as “young Christian men.” James M. Ogden, the attorney, is the “dean” of the Y. M. C. A. members in Indianapolis.

DEFENSE BOND DRIVE PUSHED

Curtiss - Wright Propeller Employees Here Buy $25,000 Monthly.

Employees of the Curtiss-Wright Propeller Division are buying approximately $25,000 in defense savings bonds every month under a voluntary payroll deduction plan, Henry Kubiniee, chairman of the plant’s bond campaign, announced today. Mr. Kubiniec, an assembly foreman, said 68 per cent of the workers are participating in the payroll allotment plan. These workers are putting 5.23 per cent of their wages into the bonds, he said. A committee headed by Mr. Kubiniec will endeavor to sign up all employees for one-tenth of their earnings. Goal Is 960,000

A blue flag, showing a minute man in white, will fly from the flag pole of every firm in which 90 per cent or more of the employees join in the payroll allotment plan, Wray E. Fleming, state administrator of the Defense Savings Staff, nounced today. The firms also will receive certificates bearing a facsimile of the signature of Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau, countersigned by Mr. Fleming and Eugene C. Pulliam, state executive chairman of the Defense Savings Staff. “Our job will not be done until 960,000 people employed in Indiana are enrolled in the payroll savings plan,” Mr. Fleming said. “It’s the smartest thing the Government has ever done. It is teaching us to save for rainy days which may be ahead. Three-Fold Purpose Mr. Fleming said the Defense Savings program has a three-fold purpose: 1. To help the Government in the armament production program. 2. To curtail inflation by diverting increased earning power into savings channels rather than spending channels. 3. To prevent a post-war depression by encouraging savings while

LANDIS STUDIES CHANGES IN 0CD

Mrs. Roosevelt’s Status Is Still Undecided; Senate May Hear Her.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11 (U.P) .— Director James M. Landis today said he was studying plans for a complete reorganization of the Office of Civilian Defense. One of the major questions con= sidered is whether the Division of Physical Fitness—in which the dancer, Mayris Chaney, friend of Mrs. Roosevelt, is employed—may be transferred to some other agency. Mrs. Roosevelt is reorganizing the Civilian Participation Division, which she heads. Whether she will remain with OCD is a matter which only Mrs. Roosevelt could decide at present, said Mr. Landis, who yesterday succeeded Mayor La Guardia of New York, who resigned,

Defends Douglas’ Job

Mr. Landis defended the appointment of motion picture actor Melvyn Douglas, asserting that he made the appointment himself after deciding a plan for the “funnelof entertainment talent was desirable. Citing sugar-rationing as an example, Mr. Landis explained that entertainers might well be used to bring home to people the necessity of abiding by the ration. He explained his views on the functions of OCD as revolving primarily around the task of “preparing this country against the danger of physical attack.” “During the last few weeks I have had the task of overhauling the functions of this office,” he said. I have two principles in mind. Stresses Blackout Import

“Bach person must have a clear and definite function. “Every person must be qualified to perform that function. Mr. Landis listed adequate development of blackout procedure as an essential so that “we may be prepared to obscure a city in 30 minutes.” Also, he added, there must be a plan developed for the evacuation of critical areas. Mail continues to deluge Congress condemning the OCD, and especially Mrs. Roosevelt's part, A move to give air raid protection to the War Department failed when the first $100,000,000 OCD appropriation was authorized recently, but many Congressmen believe the case for such a step has been made stronger. Meantime two Senate committees expressed willingness to hear Mrs. Roosevelt's views.

Praises Fitness Of Fighting Men

FT. SAM HOUSTON, San Antonio, Tex., Feb. 11 (U, P.).—~Cries by an older generation that American youth had gone “soft” were dispelled today by Col W, Lee Hart, surgeon-general of the Eighth Corps area. The present crop of American fighting men, he said, is more “healthy, stronger and tougher” than their vociferous forefathers. In the first World War, for instance, more than 10 of each 1000 soldiers died of disease each year. In 1941, the death rate by disease was .64 men per 1000 in the Eighth Corps area. Giant strides have been made in the field of science to keep fighting men in better health, Dr. Hart said. In addition greater Army medical facilities have been provided soldiers fighting this war.

STUDIES NEW HE | PREVENTION GODE

The Safety Board next week will consider recommending passage of an ordinance by the City Council for enforcement of fire prevention measures in Indianapolis on a broad scale. An 800-paragraph fire prevention code for Indianapolis was submitted to the board yesterday by the Fire Prevention and Protection Committee of the Chamber of Commerce. The code was drafted by the committee after more than two years of study. If approved by the Safety Board and passed by the City Council, the code will transfer enforcement of fire prevention measures from the Building Commissioner's office to a special fire prevention bureau in the Fire Department. The code would impose severe penalties for individuals and firms found guilty of violating hazard provisions of the ordinance.

G. 0. P. MEETING JILTS WILLKIE

Not Listed as a Speaker, Apparently Not Invited

To Lincoln Fete.

By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11. — Rep. Raymond S. Springer and former Senator James E. Watson of Indiana will speak at the annual national Lincoln Day Republican dinner here tonight. But so far as could be learned, Wendell L. Willkie not only was not asked to speak but wasn’t even invited to attend. Rep. Springer, who twice was the G. O. P. nominee for Governor in Indiana, is chairman of the committee in charge and will be the toastmaster. That old time Republican orator, Senator Watson, who represented Indiana in the Senate for several decades, will make the speech on “Lincoln.” But the broad-

cast speech over the NBC blue network will be by Alfred M. Landon, former Kansas Governor, who was the party's Presidential nominee in 1936. Rep. Joseph W, Martin Jr., Minority Leader, Republican National Chairman, and Willkie campaign manager, also will talk.
