In Tabulation of Ballots

- Indorses Central Count but Urges That Trained Persons Be Employed

By ROSEMARY REDDING Times Staff Writer TERRE HAUTE, Ind., May 14.—The need for persons thoroughly conversant with their duties to serve in the central count was cited at a board meeting of the Indiana League of Women Voters in convention here. Sessions, at the Indiana State Teachers’ college ended this after-

but needs reorganization, said Mrs. John K. Goodwin. She became the league’s new president this morning, As Mrs. Richard Edwards, Peru, a

‘director, put it: “The central count

has proved its value in securing an honest election, but it needs speeding up and should be done by persons with previous training.” Study of the problem in Indianapolis, where the count was one of the slowest in the state, probably will be undertaken by the local league. Mrs. Lester Smith, its

central count and with keeping down the cost. > No definite suggestion on how the Job should be done was made. However, two.cases in which the job has been done efficiently were cited: One, in Cincinnati, where high school juniors and seniors in civics

classes were trained for the job; the]: -

other, in Detroit, where bank tellers and other trained workers did the counting. Discuss Insurance

This afternoon the league was to

'' act on its proposed program of work

for the next two years. Up for discussions were to be the recommendation that an enabling act be passed so that non-profit, voluntary hospital insurance could be obtained in Indiana. The league points out that the state insurance law prohibits this particular type. League officials say that it would not include the actual physician’s fee, said to disturb physician-patient relationships. If accepted, the “plank” will be an entirely new addition to the program. Tagged ‘as ‘continued. responsibilities” are the protection and scrutinizing of the state personnel act, the permanent registration of voters and the marriage license law. Other items are: The strengthening of the merit system in Indiana; reinstatement of adequate appropriations for effective administration of the school attendance-child labor law; a constitutional amendment permitting the manager plan for local units of government; reform of legislative procedure; improvement of the machinery of elections; protective legislation for children, and, opposition to interstate trade barriers. Taxes Not Adequate

“Rationing will become general if we do not have an adequate tax

. program,” Dr. John Langam, Chi-

cago, director of research and statistics of the seventh district federal reserve bank, said at the banquet last night. “The situation is serious and we must take action soon.” He emphasized the rise of war ex-

penditures, rise of income payments and the curtailment of retail markets, He said that the problem could be met either by direct control (price ceilings, rationing, etc.) or by monetary control (taxes and savings).

“We are now in a program of direct control. prices and wage control. So far we have given them. only ‘lip service. Rationing may become general and

price ceilings and rationing might|

remain after the war.” He suggested monetary control ‘through more taxes, a broader tax base (with prompt collection) and wise borrowing from incomes from commercial banks.

Approves Forced Savings

“I hope the bond sale is a success,” he said, “but am afraid it isn’t enough to combat inflation. . I would like to see a system of forced savings. . . if we pay enough taxes and buy bonds we shall have more choice of consumer goods, avoid regimentation and rationing after the war.” New officers are Mrs. Goodwin, Mrs. Allan C. G. Mitchell, Bloomington, first vice: president; Mrs. Clarence, F. Merrell, Indianapolis, second vice president; Mrs. Roy Gibbons, Hammond, third vice president; Mrs. William P. Snethen, Indianapolis, treasurer, and Mrs. Hans Riemer, Michigan City, secretary. Named to serve as directors are Mrs. Ted Plimpton, East Chicago; Mrs. William Hilliker, Chesterton; Mrs. Otto G.

Men to Collect Old Clothes on Good Turn Day

Approximately 20,000 Indianapolis housewives are expected to participate in the Goodwill Industries’ annual “good turn day” Wednesday, according to officials of the agency. A fleet of 75 trucks will travel to all parts of the city that day to collect discarded articles of clothing, household goods, furniture and salvage including old iren and copper. More than 3000 Boy Scouts, Camp Fire Girls and Girl Scouts during the last two weeks have been distributing “good turn day” bags to homes and apartments to be filled for the collection. Last year’s good turn day drive netted 15,000 bags of clothing, 5000 pieces of furniture, 2400 pairs of shoes and other discarded goods. Goodwill Industries, a member agency of the Indianapolis Community Fund, has employed 100 handicapped persons in the past year. They clean and repair discarded articles donated to the agency. The products are sold and proceeds from the sales are used to pay the wages of the handicapped workmen. In 1941, salaries paid to

the workmen amounted to $36,000.

Irvin S. Cobb Will Be the Speaker At Contemporary Club Guest Meeting

“NO SUBJECT—HE JUST TALKS ALONG,” the laconic comment that heralds Irvin S. Cobb’s appearance next Wednesday night before the Contemporary club. The author and humorist will speak at the annual guest meeting of the club at 8:30 p. m. in Caleb Mills hall of Shortridge high school. The “Prophet of Paducah” i§ one of America's most famous and widely read humorists. He has written for newspapers, magazines and motion pictures and his career includes acting in film and radio comedies. His early ambition was to become a cartoonist but in-

stead he became a reporter on the Paducah (Ky.) Daily News and at 19 was its managing editor and probably

the youngest managing editor of any

daily. newspaper in the country. “And undoubtedly the worst,” he has added morosely. While serving on the Saturday Evening Post as a staff contributor, Mr. Cobb created “Judge Priest,” whom he carried through a series of short stories. The late Will Rogers brought the character of the Judge to the screen in several motion pictures. When Mr. Cobb went to Hollywood eight years ago, he bought Greta Garbo’s Santa Monica home. He has appeared, in several motion pictures, including “Steamboat Round the Bend,” which starred Will Rogers. Later he was starred in “Everybody’s Old Man.” ; Another of his well-known stories Mr. Cobb is “Speaking of Operations—" And there was “Oh, Well, You Know How Women ret” and his recent “Exit Laughing” among many others. He frequently has a cigar clamped between his teeth and his description of himself is “an ugly-faced old man, with beetled brows and a big ‘bay window’. » ;
