tl rust Practices Increase Prices Of Necessities,

PUSHES MOVE T0 END ABUSES

Action Follows Synthetic Rubber Probe; Standard Chief Denies Charge.

By THOMAS L. STOKES Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, March 28.—Perhaps one of the principal results of the current Truman committee investigation of the Standard Oil of New Jersey-I. G. Farbenindustrie synthetie rubber and gasoline cases will be to dramatize again for the public the effect of great business combinations, domestic or international, in raising the prices of the ordinary citizen's necessities, While Thurman Arnold, assistant attorney general, devoted most attention to the effect of such combintaions in impending the war program, by checking development of needed strategic materials, he did not overlook the long-term implications of such a business system to the domestic economy and the lives of the rank and file who work in the factories and on the farms.

Causes Material Shortage

“It is obvious,” he said, “that this kind of practice on an extended scale throughout industry has been one of the reasons why we are short of basic materials. If it continues! it will contribute to inefficiency of production throughout the war, “If it continues after the war it will keep us in a continuous state of unpreparedness. “From an economic point of view such restrictions lower the standard of living and on a wide scale create an irreducible amount of unemployment. From every point of view, therefore, we must stop a repetition of the cartel system in America.” Mr. Arnold's revelations of the operations of international high finance which have impeded the war program, coming on top of revelations by the house naval affairs committee of big bonuses and salary increases of war contractors, are expected here also to counter somewhat the present agitation in congress for repeal of the 40-hour week and other labor laws,

STATE HOSPITAL CHIEF IS NAMED

Assistant at Logansport Succeeds Qusted Head At Richmond.

Dr. Paul D. Williams, assistant superintendent of the Logansport State hospital, will take over as Richmond State hospital superintendent on April 1, Governor Schricker announced today. Dr. Paul S. Johnson, present Richmond chief, was dismissed by the governor yesterday “for the good of the institution.” Mr. Schricker said that “unsatisfactory conditions existing in the management, which have grown steadily worse during the past months, make it absolutely necessary to relieve you of the superintendency. My plain duty to the institution and to the people of Indiana dictates this action snd I trust that I may have full co-opera-tion,” the governor said. Dr. Johnson, a Republican who was appointed to his post by former Governor Townsend in 1940, blamed “politics” for his dismissal, and charged that the governor ‘evidently has been listening to a

Company Denies Charges

Meanwhile, in New York, W. S. Farish, president of Standard Oil of New Jersey, said today that Mr. Amold's charge was “wholly without foundation.” Mr, Farish issued a saying in part: “As to the allegation that Stan-

Indiana Politics

IF YOU HAVE the impression that there are a lot of candidates galloping around the premises, just wait until this time next week. At midnight

next Saturday, candidates.

As an example, the secretary of state's office to date has received no more than 375 declarations of All told, there are 274 offices—congressional, legislative, judicial and prosecutors—for which candidates must file at the state

candidacy.

house. That means that to date, one on each ticket—for all the offices. Of course that condition can’t and won't last long. In the past, the total number of candidates filing for these same jobs has numbered 1000 or more. Apparently the 1942 crop of hopefuls is a little reticent, because the number of declarations is behind schedule in comparison with recent elections, But the boys in James Tucker's office are getting geared up for a big week which should reach its slap-happy eclimax next Saturday night. The same is true of the county and municipal candidates, who must file at the county clerk's office before next Saturday midnight. There's been a splurge of precinct and delegate candidates, but for some of the county offices the fields are wide open. Some of the potential office seekers have been laying back, waiting to see what kind of opposition they wili have and trying to get the support of this group or that one. They won't be able to do that much longer. And some who have “announced” their candidacies but have not filed must now make up their minds. It's also getting near the deadline for “deals’— shifting from one race to another—and there are reports that there are some big ones being attempted. Those who have filed and are getting cold feet, or want to change to some other spot, must do so before the deadline. If they are on the list at midnight next Saturday, there name goes on the ballot. The big push is on and confusion probably will be rampant.

Avenue Causes Worry

POLITICIANS who should know their business are saying that the place to watch in this primary is the Indiana ave. area, which is not an unusual warning except that they say bigger and more surprising things may occur this time. It's known that some of the manipulators who claim they can control the vote in that area are none too happy about the way they have been treated by the fellow manipulators of their party. It has been hinted that they may do a little shifting around, in the primary as well as the general election, just to show how strong they really sre. Whether its a threat or a promise—or just plain rumor— hasn't been decided definitely but it sounds pretty authentic.

Linton Democrat Named by Schricker After Ruling Vacates Office.

Edwin B. Long, Linton Democrat, today became judge of the Greene circuit court, succeeding a Republican, Judge Orville B. Hunter, who is in active army service as a commissioned officer. His appointment by Governor Schricker followed a ruling yesterday by Attorney General George N. Beamer that a state officer cannot {hold two “lucrative” jobs simulta{neously. Two state senators and (another judge also were affected by the ruling. The ruling had been asked by the state election commission.

Merrill Wood, prominent Irvington Republican, has been urged by his friends to run for Warren township assessor. James Kingsbury, “the grand old man” as he's known out there, is already in. . . . Rep. Winfield K, Denton, minority house leader last year, is running for representative again down in Evansville, but that won’t bar him from the secretary of state race if his party wants him,

Judge Long will serve until November, when a new judge will be elected for a six-year term. Judge Hunter entered army service last August and appointed Parker Vosloh, another Republican to serve as pro tem. Judge Hunter, meanwhile, has been receiving pay vouchers from the state auditor as though he were serving on the bench. Following Governor Schricker’s appointment of a Democrat te succeed the Republican judge, State G. 0. P. Chairman Ralph Gates asserted that “this is evidence that politics is not adjourned for the duration so far as the Democrats are concerned.”

NURSING HOME PROBERS NAMED

CHAMBERS IN PROBATE RACE

Keep Government Secure At Home, He Says in Announcement.

Stressing the importance of seeing that the government is secure on the home front, Probate Court Judge Smiley N. Chambers today announced his candidacy for renomination on the Democratic ticket. The only other candidate who has announced for the probate court Democratic nomination is David M. Lewis, former prosecutor and once a candidate for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination,

rector for the state welfare department, included: Dr. Herman G. Morgan, board of health secretary; Thomas Neal, county welfare department director; Wilbur A, Royse, deputy prosecuting attorney; Mrs. P. F, Grosskopf, of the seventh district federation of women's clubs, and Miss Laura E. Ray of the Indianapolis council of women,

At last night's conference, cases were cited where persons in some nursing homes have been mistreated and where the homes were giving, in some instances, inadequate care to patients.

Seek Change in Law

Mr. Neal explained that his department would be willing to increase awards paid to old age benefit recipients in certain cases so that they might be placed in better homes. Patients who were receiving no welfare aid and who would be left homeless by the closing of undesirable establishments would be cared for by other agencies, it was agreed. The conference al6 agreed to demand legislation that we give the state welfare department the right to license and regulate all privately owned nursing homes. The newly appointed committee would assist in seeking such legislation. Thurman A. Gottschalk, state welfare administrator, pointed out that a recent survey showed that the 50 privately owned nursing homes in Indianapolis were caring for approximately 750 persons. He said under present legislation the welfare department was without a voice in regulating the homes,

Public Homes Urged

Dr. Morgan said that in nearly every case where complaints had been registered, the home was caring for persons unable to afford adequate attention. Well operated homes, he said, were charging $50, “The Democratic party in the past $60 and $70 per month. {has complimented me greatly by “An ordinance will not meet the reposing its confidence in me as its problem in cases where persons are candidate for judge and in each unable to afford adequate care and | election the general public has jusalthough the health office can close | tified that confidence by electing me undesirable homes it has no au- with substantial majorities.

NYA SOLID WITH COLLEGE PROFS

Funds Easy to Get, Little Red Tape Is Gist of

Their Testimony.

By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, March 28.-—Col-lege professors want to keep NYA— war or no war. It pays well and there isn’t much red tape connected with getting the money. About all you have to do is reach for it. Or at most, let NYA Director Aubrey Williams know you are receptive. That, in brief, was the testimony from the campus which NYA provided for the senate education and labor committee in its effort to checkmate Senator Kenneth D. Mc Kellar’s bill to abolish both NYA and CCC. The professors were supported by a high school superintendent from Chicago, who said it also is nice for high school students to get NYA money. He disagreed with the Nae tional Education association and school administrators, which back in October, 1941, recommended that NYA and CCC be abolished,

Dr. Benson Criticized

Dr. James Richmond, president of the Murray State Teachers college at Murray, Ky.,, was indignant about the offer of 20 NYA students at Harding college, Searcy, Ark, to give their federal funds to the treasury to spend on war. He criticized Dr. George S. Bene son, Harding college president, as a man “who likes to see his name in print” and termed Harding “a little two-by-four college.” “The thing I like about NYA,” Dr, Richmond said, “is that there is no red tape connected with it.” Another witness was Lon McAddams, listed as representing the Barker Foundry Corp., Barker, N, Y, It developed that the foundry ems ploys six men and no NYA youths, and that Mr, McAddams was ap= pearing as president of the Barker school hoard and wanted to say that NYA was doing quite well with two work centers in his town.

“The Japs Will Get Us”

Sixty NYA youths are in traine ing there, he said, and the army and navy each got one, while a third is considering enlisting “before being caught in the draft,” although the school principal hopes to keep him out of the army until June gradua« tion. “Keep on discouraging enlist= ments that way and the Japs and Germans will get us,” said Senator McKellar. But the NYA defenders on the committee, including Senators Pepper, Hill and Chavez, said that keeping youth in school until trained is the course followed by Japan and Germany. “We want to whip them, not imi tate them in dastardly skill,” ree torted Senator McKellar,

GRIFFITH RENAMED T0 SEGURITY BOARD

Theodore B. Griffith, president of L. S. Ayres & Co. today was reappointed as a member of the Indiana employment security board by Governor Schricker. The fouryear term begins April 1. Mr. Griffith was appointed to the original unemployment compensation hoard, by Governor Paul V. MeNutt in April. 1936, and reappointed by Governor M. Clifford Townsend. Other board members are Alex Gordon, president, and Carl Mullen, both representing labor: John W. ’ Crise, who with Mr. Griffith, represents employers, and Frank Bates, representing the public and state.
