WPA WRITERS’ UNIT

IN STATE ABOLISHED

Times Special TERRE HAUTE, Ind, April 14. Extensive data on early Indiana history has been shipped to Indianapolis for forwarding to Washington as the Indiana writers’ program, a unit of the WPA under sponsorship of the Indiana State Teachers’ college here, closed its activities. The writers’ program had produced the Indiana State Guide. About 25 employees, most of them elderly, were on the staff. The project was terminated because of an economy measure curtailing nonmilitary expenditures.

By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, April 15.—Freezing prices, wages and profits, or any other step necessary to win the war, will meet with widespread approval in Indiana, according to G. |O. P. congressmen who spent at least part of the Easter recess in the state. “Our citizens are wide-awake to the urgency of winning this war,” Senator Raymond E. Willis re ported. “There is no complacency in Indiana,” he said. “They already are doing a great productive job in the

numerous war industries.”

No Wartime Complacency Exist

He said there is no serious labor situation and both management and labor are united in an all-out effort. “There is some anxiety about whether we are doing enough to win—but only a complete victory is the goal of ail,” said the senator. Freezing wages, prices and profits will meet with little protest. The public remembers the inflationary aspects of World War I and is determined that these shall not be repeated.” Since the G. O. P. leaders left the decision for a national affairs plank in the hands of the Wash-

Rep. Charles A. Halleck, dean of

“They not only want to abandon {NYA and CCC, but many farmers also are ready to fold up the AAA |and save that money also.” This is considered significant since Secretary of Agriculture Claude R. Wickard comes from Camden, Ind, where he operates a farm. Rep. Raymond S. Springer, who twice was the G. O. P. gubernatorial candidate, reported that he spent each day meeting with businessmen in such cities as Shelbyville, Muncie, Connersville and Richmond and trying to aid them in finding the answer to the problems imposed on

them by war conditions.

“Our citizens are worried about the war. They want to see more done to win and quickly. They do not feel that the established plants have been or are being utilized and they are anxious that every man and machine should be in the bat-

tle line.” i

Reps. William T, Schulte and William H. Larrabee were the only Hoosier Democrats to return to the state. Rep. Robert A. Grant was

the only Republican remaining here. All are expected back during the week.
