PETIT APPEALS FOR PARTY HARMONY
A Republican pre-primary rally, with all candidates attending in
the interest of party harmony and;
victory in November, was urged today by Otto W. Petit, candidate for the sheriff nomination, in letters to Henry E. Ostrom and Gen.
Robert H. Tyndall, mayor opponents, and County Chairman James L. Bradford. “It also would serve as a common ground on which the candidates could present their particular qualifications to the voting public, he added. “All candidates cannot win, so let's not wait until after to attempt to heal wounds. The party should make every effort to promote harmony within its ranks now.” : He suggested that each candidate contribute funds to defrav expenses and that the county committee handle the other details.

REMY ASSAILS PARTY BOSSES
Urges Voters to Choose Tyndall. in Protest to Dictatorship.
Attacking the G. O. P. leadership for “dictatorship,” William H. Remy today had urged Marion county Republicans to “present to an aroused electorate next fall candidates selected solely because of their integrity and their capacity to enable us to do our utmost in the war effort.” “If dictatorship is wrong in Europe, it is wrong in Indiana,” Mr. Remy asserted in a series of party rallies yesterday as he began a speaking campaign for Gen. Robert H. Tyndall, anti-organization candidate for the mayor nomination. “While we are changing the lives of all of us, spending billions and sending our sons to bloody battlefields to halt dictatorship in the rest of the world, men have the effrontery to attempt the same old procedure here,
“It Is Ridiculous”
“They propose that we should accept the selections and decisions of a few men meeting in a back room on the issues that effect us most vitally. It is pretty ridiculous for us to beat that sort of thing abroad and let it thrive here. “No organization, purporting to represent the whole Republican party has the right to use the party machinery to nominate one man over another, except to prevent the nomination of a man morally or physically unfit to represent the party. No one is attacking Gen. Tyndall on either of those grounds. No one says he is unfit. That would be too absurd. His only fault is that he is not the choice of the bosses of the machine. “Henry Ostrom is a good man, and a capable man. I have known him for 25 years or more, I know him even better than I know Gen. Tyndall, whom I have not met so frequently. But I don’t like the company he keeps when he is put forth as the ‘organization’ choice.
Voters Must Decide
“The Republican voters are the Republican party and they have the right to select their standard bearers. The precinct committeemen are the backbone of the organization, They have not been consulted here.” Pointing out that “we are paying higher taxes, without grumbling, than ever before, facing shortage in comforts cheerfully, watching our
sons march off to war, organizing our schedules and our manner of
iving—to beat dictators,” Mr. Remy
added:
“And while we are doing these some shortsighted, selfish ndividuals in nearly every large
city are trying to seize the party management of both palitieal parties to ‘exploit all of us.”

POLITICS BRINGS TRESPASS CASE
Dispute Over Indiana Ave. Quarters Follows Shift In Mayoral Choice.
There seems to be a difference of opinion over who is entitled to use of a certain political headquarters down on Indiana ave, and the whole subject is scheduled for an
airing before Municipal Judge John Niblack next Tuesday morning. It all came about, according to those involved, when Virgil A. Barkley, 2004 Cold Spring rd. changed his mind about his choice for the Republican mayor nomination.
Claims Rent Receipt
Barkley says that while he once favored Henry BE. Ostrom, he now
is supporting Gen. Robert H, Tyndall, On April 22, he says, he rented for one month, a room at 831 Indiana ave, for $40 and for which he says he has a receipt. Yesterday afternoon, Sam Blum, a deputy prosecutor and G. O, P. chairman of the 12th ward, in which the headquarters is located, appeared on the scene and a dispute arose over who was entitled to use the headquarters, Two deputy sheriffs arrested Barkley on a charge of malicious trespass. §
Hearing Set for Tuesday
In court today, Barkley was represented by George A. Herdy. Deputy Blum asked that the case be continued until May 9. But Mz. Henry demanded that it be heard before the May 5 primary. When the two attorneys began to squabble, Judge Niblack reminded them: “This is just another malicious trespass case to the court.” He set the hearing for 9 a. m. next Tuesday.

NOD TO WILLKIE JARS HOOSIERS
Only Wilson of State GOP Delegation Approves Chicago Victory.
By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, April 21.— Prompt adoption of the Willkie anti-islationism plank by the Republican national committee meeting in Chicago came as a distinct shock to the Hoosier Republicans in congress. Only Rep. Earl Wilson, ninth district, Republican, would venture the opinion that he thought Wendell L. Willkie’'s ideas were right. Like Senator Raymond E. Willis and his seven G. O. P. colleagues in the house, Rep. Wilson had been a pre-war isolationist. The outspoken former Hoosier schoolmaster said: “It does seem to me that the Republican party has got to tell the people where it stands.
Too Vague, Willis Says
“Of course winning the war is primary objective of all Americans today. But the people want to know what plan we have for preventing such a catastrophe in the future. Wwe must take part in enforcing peace and the people will want to know how we intend to do it.” Senator Willis, however, thought that the plank was too vague to merit too much Willkie jubilation. Earlier he said he thought that Mr. Willkie was doing the party a “great disservice” by constantly bringing up the matter of pre-war isolationism. Springer Protests Rep. Raymond S. Springer of the 10th district said: “I just cannot agree with Mr. Willkie. The Republicans are 100 per cent for winning this war and there is no isolationism, appeasement or other forms of disloyalty to America in our party ranks, For Mr. Willkie even to suggest that such opinions prevail makes only for discord.” Rep. Gerald W. Landis, seventh district Republican, suggested that winning the war is a large enough order for any party now and that it is far too early to worry about the peace. “We have to win first to make sure we can plan the peace,” he concluded. But both the Springer and Landis opinions also were expressed before the Willkie victory.
COUNTY BOND GOAL $3,000,000 IN MAY
The government wants every worker to put 10 per cent of his wages into war bonds, Eugene C. Pulliam, state war savings executive chairman, told the salary allotment division of the Marion county savings staff today at the Colum bia club. The goal for Marion county for May, he said, is $3,000,000. It was reported at the meeting that 403 county firms had instituted the allotment plan as of last Friday and that the 69,000 employees thus signed up are saving $550,000 a month. Other speakers at the meeting were Wray Fleming, state war savings administrator; Eber Spence, chairman of the life underwriters committee; James F, Frenzel, deputy county administrator, and Samuel Mueller, executive secretary of the county staff.
ACTION POSTPONED ON LAND ANNEXATION
Action on an ordinance providing for annexation of land at Riverside drive and Lafayette road to the city for an FHA-approved housing project was postponed by the City council last night. The postponement followed protests by Councilman F. B. Ransom who said the deed to the real estate prohibited Negroes from owning ‘any of the houses. The housing project, approved by the Federal Housing Administration, is being sponsored by the C. I. O. to provide homes for members working in war industries. Spokesmen for the C. I. O., which is planning 101 residences, said they were unaware of the deed restrictions and said they would petition the FHA' to remove them. The council elected Ollie A. Bach as new council president to succeed Albert O. Deluse, who resigned last week to accept a commission in the army air corps. Ernest C. Ropkey was elected vice president to succeed: Mr. Bach.

Study Coal Prices
WASHINGTON, April 21 (U, P.). —Representatives of the office of price administration, the interior department and ‘the bituminous coal industry yesterday discussed the imposition of maximum prices on coal sold at the mine. OPA officials told the gathering that ceiling prices for bituminous coal may soon be established as a necessary part of the fight against inflation, Government representatives promised a price range which would not unduly injure the industry but which would be workable in the face of wartime difficulties. Cotton Textiles
The WPB today ordered the conversion to the war effort of many cotton looms now making textiles for clothing and household goods. The converted looms are to be used in making materials for sandbags, camouflage cloth, agricultural bags and other uses. Officials said that the order would still permit weaving of enough cloth for essential civilian requirements but would drastically hit less essential and luxury fabrics. Twenty per cent conversion was ordered for looms now making bed ticking, work clothing, industrial uniforms, cloth for men’s and women’s slacks and shorts, denims, draperies, upholstery, towelling and damask. Forty per cent conversion was ordered for looms operating on outing flannels, most other napped fabrics and soft-filled sheeting. Fifty per cent conversion was ordered for looms making unbleached

The WPB today prohibited the use of rubber tires on new farm machinery, except harvester-threshe ° er combines, after April 30. The harvester-thresher combines ° may not be equipped with rubbep tires after July 31.
DENY FUND FOR FIRE INSURANGE
County Councilmen Feel Proposal Insufficiently
Developed.
The county council today turned down the controversial $16,000 ap< propriation to buy fire insurance
for county property. Council president George Sadlier explained that the council refused the request, made by county com-= missioners after an investigation showed that “details of an insurance plan for county institutions have not been worked out sufficiently at this time.” No fire insurance has been care ried on any county property in more than 15 years on the theory that the county government was big enough to carry its own insurance risk,
Taxpayers Protest
Taxpayers groups yesterday proe tested the proposed appropriation on the ground that the expense is not necessary and that it was not
an emergency that could not have been foreseen when budgets were made out last year. The council granted an $1800 apepropriation to pay increased wages at Sunnyside sanijtarium. Works ers receiving $40 a month will be increased to $45 a month and others working for $45 will be ine creased to $55. The council granted approprige tions totaling more than $95,000 for county road building. Of this amount, $73,000 was allocated for materials to blacktop 15 miles of county roads. most of which are in the vicinity of war industries.
Buy New Equipment
An appropriation of $22,500 was granted to buy new road building equipment. Commissioners however expressed doubts whether much equipment could be purchased because of priorities but the council made the appropriation anyway in order that money will be available in the. event that some machinery.« can be purchased.
