SAVINGS GAIN DESPITE HCL

Inflated Prices Fail to Prevent U. S. ‘Nest Eggs’ For ‘Rainy Day.’

WASHINGTON, April 24 (U. PD). —Tt took $8 in February to buy the same amount of goods that §7 bought a year ago. But Americans are saving twice as much. The commerce department revealed yesterday that national ine comes has increased so rapidly that individuals saved at an annual rate of $18,500,000,000 last February compared with a rate of $9.200,000,000 in February, 1941. The increase in savings was attributed to the growing scarcity of consumers’ durable goods, anticipation of higher taxes, increased purchases of war bonds and to the indication that “the volume of spending to some extent has been held in check by consumer di ance to rising prices.” Consumer expenditures increased,

HOOSIER POWER FELT AT CHICAGO

Morris and Mrs. Reynolds

{

Backed Willkie’s Anti- |

Isolation Stand.

By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Aprii 24--That Ernest M. Morris, Indiana Republican national committeeman, and! Mrs. Grace B. Reynolds, national committeewoman, “played an important part” in getting the Willkie anti-isolationism into the G. O. P. platform at Chicago this week was reported here today. The report was in a dispatch from Indianapolis written by Gould Line coln, veteran political writer for the Washington Star. “The story is told that the Ine diana members of the national committee, Ernest M. Morris and Mrs. Grace B. Reynolds, played an ime portant part in bringing about the ‘compromise’ agreement on the Willkie proposal that the Republican party turn its back on its old policy of isolationism-—after the close of the present war,” Mr. Lincoln wrote.

ganization is not clear. It was|

rumored that the Willkie support-

ers in the national committee were planning to offer a resolution eriticizing those members of congress who stood for isolationism before Pearl Harbor. “Such a resolution would have caused an intense bitter feeling. Certainly if there had been no compromise by the committee on the isolationism issue, there would have been a hot fight on the floor of the committee room, and this was avoided.” Mr. Lincoln was in Chicago for the meeting.

Writing on the congressional primaries in Indiana and the possi-

bility of a G. O. P. victory in the fall, Mr. Lincoln had this to say: “Hoosier Républicans are eager to continue their victory course next fall. They even talk of holding all the congressional districts they now have and of picking up one or two. They point out that is an assignment already given them by the Republican congressional committee and the national committee,

May Be Lucky

“They may be lucky, however, to hold what they have. The candi dacy of Mr. Willkie, Hoosier-born, for president in 1040 carried the rest of the Republican ticket that year, in large part, to victory. Mr. Willkie is not running this year.” Mr. Lincoln also reported that in Indiana the leaders of both parties are united in their determination to win the war, “One of the strange things in Indiana is the antipathy which developed among Republicans to Mr. Willkie after the presidential elec tion of 1940," Mr, Lincoln coms mented. “It still persists in some quarters. Several explanations are given by Republicans themselves for this feeling. The first is that Indiana Republicans are the most partisan in the country. Many of them re membered that Mr. Willkie, when he lived in Indiana, was a Democrat.” Democratic Governor Hen r y Schricker was cited as unusual in being the only member of his party to win in the state in 1940.

Homespun Politician

Mr. Lincoln said of him: “Governor Schricker, a spare man with graying hair and a kindly face, comes as close to being the homespun politican as any one in public life today. His victory in 1040 is evidence enough of his personal popularity. . . “Two years hence, Governor Schricker will be rounding out his term as chief executive, under the state law, he cannot succeed hime self, so he must if he intends to remain in public life, seek some other office. “Already some of his friends are suggesting that he make a bid for the senate seat now occupied by Senator VanNuys, Democrat, who has never been conspicuous for support of the New Deal. “Governor Schricker continues a dominating figure in the Repub-

lican state.”
