Court [Houses Sought To Store Sugar Cards

Supplies for the sugar rationing program in Indiana will probably be stored in court houses. Frank Bane, director of the divis on of fleld operations of the OPM, in a letter to Governor

Schricker yesterday asked permis-4

sion to use the'buildings as tem-

porary storage places. Permission will have to come from the County officials, Governor

Schricker said.

Sunday Drive Gas To Be Cut First

NASHINGTON, Feb. 14 (U, P.).— Today's civilian war notes:

RADIOS—Plenty of them on store shelves, but when they're gone ere probably won't be any new ones for a long time. The Government. has ordered radio .manufacturers to convert their factories to war production within four months.

ASOLINE-If it becomes necessary to ration gasoline, Sunday afternoon dMves and vacation trips : xt summer will be the first to be tailed, the WPB said.

JEWELRY—There’ll be less tinin your “gold” watch of the future. The nment has “frozen” all tin : by jewelry manufactitrers— abolit- 1,000,000 pounds—and will buy it

URPLUS MONEY—What to do with it? Price Chief Leon Henderson suggests higher taxes, compulsory savings, defense bond purchases 0 prevent inflation. He's against a sales tax and wage increases now.

SUGAR—Get in the sugar ration abit. “Divvy up” with your friends and neighbors. That's Government advice ta make |it easier: for you when rationing begins.

MOTORISTS — No fancy Niconse plates next year. They'll be black white and, a few domestic earth colors to save, strategi pigments. ellow street and highway: markings are on the way out, too.

SPICES—Take it eas pepper, mustard, nutmeg, cloves, _e¢innamon and vanilla. There is ough on hand now, but they all . require manpower to process and] some require shipping that may not be available later on.

Gentlemen, Gray Will Be the Style

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14 (U. P.).— The outlook is gray for men’s cloth"ling styles. ‘The War Production Board is planning to curtail drastically use of certain dark shades of dye and to cut the dyes available to 50 per cent of the normal supply. It is expected that the move will result in a predominance of gray colors for men’s suits, mixed with some blue. Brown suits will be out, and there will be much less variety of shading in the colors remaining. Brown and tan colors probably will disappear from women’s wardrobes as well; print dresses will become standardized in color; hats will be duller, and women’s fashions in general are going to be Joss glamorous.

Moving Up!

Sfes— Horace Kelley, First State Inductee, Sergeant Now.

Sergt. Horace F. Kelley

INDIANA'S FIRST inductee under the Selective Service Act is well on his way up the military ladder after little more than a year’s service. He ic Sergt. Horace F. Kelley, son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas F. Kelley, 843 W. 29th St., stationed now at Ft. Hays, Columbus, O,, the headquarters for the Army’ Fifth Corps Area. Inducted into service Nov. 19, 1940, the first man to be “processed” in the state, he was, sent to Ft. Custer, Mich., for his 18 weeks’ basic training. After the training he was transferred to Headquarters Co., Ft. Hayes, where he has been on duty in the office since. So far, the way up the military ladder has been comparatively swift for Sergt. Kelley. Eight months after entering the service he was promoted to corporal and four months after that, just one year after he first entered the Army, he was made a sergeant.

# » u

HIS WORK AT the area headquarters is along clérical lines and it keeps him in the office a good part of the time. His mother said that in his letters he has declared that he is very well pleased with his work and that the food at the camp is fine, Mrs. Kelley, mented: | “He has always had a job which kept him |inside and I told him, when he went to the Army, that I hoped the outdoor training would cure his ‘finicky’ appetite, but I'm afraid he hasn't had much outdoor duty yet.” Sergt. Kelley is a graduate of Shortridge High School and Central Business College. He was assistant manager of the Indiana Theater for several years and just before his induction was employed by the Equitable Life ‘Insurance Co. of Towa. He was 28 last September.

Schricker Joins Governors Opposing ‘Federalization’;

Quinn Testifies.

By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.—Governor Henry Schricker and two officials of the Indiana Unemployment Compensation division will arrive here tomorrow to join in the fight against federalization of unemployment compensation. The Hoosier Governor is expected to testify before the House Ways and Means Committee, which is conducting hearings on so-called displacement benefit bill. He will be accompanied by Col. Everett L.

Gardner, director of the Indiana

Employment Security division, and

| Alex Gordon, labor leader and presi-

dent of the division's board. The Indiana party left Indianapolis this afternoon.

Quinn Opposes Change

Thomas M. Quinn, Indianapolis attorney, appeared before the committee today. Federalization of unemployment compensation “would create more problems than it would solve, based upon past performance in Indiana,” Mr, Quinn testified. He presented the opposition of the Indiana State Chamber of Commerce to the $300,000,000 war conversion compensation bill, which is sponsored by Federal Security Administrator Paul V. McNutt. Mr. Quinn termed the measure “a definite attempt to Federalize the State unemployment compensation system.”

' Stassen Leads Fight “If Congress finds that it is neces-

sary to provide training wages. or|.

travel allowances, we offer no objection to such a program but urge that the Administration should not be in any way connected with the Social Security Board but set up in some relief or “training agency,” Mr. Quinn said. . Several other governors and state directors are expected to join in opposing the change, | which they charge is being attempted “by subterfuge.” Governor Harold E. Stasseni, Minnesota Republican and president of the National Conference of State Governors, joined forces today with Governor Frank M. Dixon, Alabama Democrat and president of the Southern - Governors Conference, in opposition to the proposed measure.

Slayer of 3 and

Twin Poisoned |

EVANSVILLE, Ind. Reb. 14 (U. P.).—~Two more members of an Ohio River houseboat family died today when they drank the contents of a bottle of poisoned soft drink at an Evansville hospital. The deaths brought to five the. number of dead in one family. The dead are Mrs. Madie Messerly and Mrs. Adie Westgall, 34-year-old twin sisters. Police said that Mrs. Messerly, a patient , apparently drank. the poison brought to her by Mrs. Westgall. The deaths added another chapter to a weird domestic tragedy which began when Mrs. Messerly red fatal bullets into the foreheads of her sons, William, wi Edward, 19, and Joseph, 9, ather ‘than allow them to be i for by welfare officials. Mrs. Messerly then shot herself but the wound was not fatal and she was taken to the hospital,

93 RATION BOARDS TO GET ASSISTANTS

Secretarial and stenographic jobs with 99 ration boards in Indiana will be filled by the U. S. Civil Service, it was learned today. Plans for the assignment of the Civil Service workers were outlined in Chicago yesterday and today to state administrators. Secretarial assistants and stenographers will take over much of the routine work which has kept board members tied down on an eight to 12-hour day basis, according to the plan. Funds for this assistance are to be provided in the $100,000,000 civil defense appropriation bill pending in Congress. " Several counties, like Lake and Marion, have greated multiple boards—two shifts of three members each—to handle the tire and_auto rationing business and, eventually, sugar distribution.

DIES AT HOME HERE

Mrs. Helen Moore, a resident of Indianapolis several years, died today in her home, 53¢ W. 524 St. She was the wife of John-M. Moore. Mrs. Moore was graduated from Butler University in 1924. She was a member of Delta Delta Delta and

ARRAIGNMENT SET IN TIRE SALE CASE

Two Boonville men.who were indicted here yesterday by a special Federal Grand Jury on charges of violating the tire rationing laws will be arraigned in Evansville Wednesday before Judge Robert C. Baltzell. The eight-count indictment is against two officers of the LaSalle Motor Sales Corp. of Boonville, Charles L. Hart, president, and Russell W. Baker, secretary-treasurer. Conviction would cary a maximum penalty of $10,000 fine and 10 years in prison. Two special agents of OPM, Robert L. Wright and John F. Manierre, assisted U. S. District Attorney B, Howard Caughran in the presentation of evidence. The indictment alleges. that the two company officials post-dated their books and in other ways made records to make it appear that they had sold a considerable number of tires before the rationing laws went into effect. It charged that a $1400 sale to a Boonville firm was made after the laws went into effect. The OPM attorneys said that this was the first) tire rationing case brought to prosecution.

Alcoholic Beverages Commission members said today that they would study yesterday's Appellate Court decision which held in effect that no intoxicating beverages can be sold in the 304 ,acres comprising the original town of Irvington. The high court upheld a lower court injunction -prohibiting Philip Sorrentino, Irvington tavern owner, from selling MHquor because the original plat for the town prohibited property owners from selling intoxicating liquor on their premises. Liquor is now being sold at several places, including drug stores, in Irvington, and the A, B. C. will have to determine what “action, if any, to take in view of the Sorrentino decision.

ASKS HOOSIERS AID SYMPHONY

Booth Tarkington Points Out No Orchestra Can

Live on Ticket Sales.

Music can give to America “spiri=-. tual sinews beyond the powers of Japs and Nazis to vanquish,” Booth Tarkington said today, commenting on the possibility that the Indian apolis Symphony Orchestra will be forced to disband because of need of money. The distinguished Hoosier author pointed out, in a letter to The Edi-

‘tor of The Indianapolis Times, that

no symphony orchestra has been able to live on the sale of tickets alone. He said the Indianapolis Symphony is worthy of both “popular support” and “unusual support.” An opportunity for “unusual supe port” will be given to Indianapolis music lovers next Monday, when a campaign to raise $97,000 for the

.| symphony will be launched.

Need $27,000 at Once

Pledges of $70,000 will be sought for maintenance of the orchestra during the 1942-43 season. An additional $27,000 is needed to fulfill the symphony’s obligations for the current season. : Dr. G. H. A. Clowes, president of the Indiana State Symphony Soe ciety, reminded prospective contribue tors that their donations‘to the In dianapolis Symphony Orchestra can e deducted from Federal income tax returns. Mr. Tarkington's letter, calling on his fellow Hoosiers to come to the rescue of the orchestra, follows: “There may be people, even in these days of widespread musical education, who still think of syme phony orchestras as highbrow dise pensers of “dress-shirt music”; but I think this mistaken impression exists only among those who have not experienced the spontaneous, exhilarating pleasure of listening, at least once or twice, to our Indian apolis Symphony Orchestra.

Tickets Higher in East

“I am sorry, for instance, for anys ° body who missed hearing Pinza sing “I Have Attained the Highest Power” from Moussorgsky’s opera “Boris Godounov” as he sang it for one of our recent concerts. Such music as that can give us spiritual sinews beyond the powers of Japs and Nazis to vanquish. “Into our Indianapolis Symphony Orchestia has gone a vast amount of labor, intelligence, loyalty and musical genius, since its creation by Ferdinand Schaefer. An inestimably valuable organization now | exists; but, thanks to the public spirit of its members and to” Fabien Sevitzky's ardently economical direction, it casts us only. a third of the price paid by eastern cities for orchestras of like quality. No symphony orchestra yet, however, has lived on the sale of tickets alone. ¢
