LISH NEW
JUNIOR COLLEGE]
Long School for Women to Be Located at Butler With Trust Fund.
“ 2
A two-year junior college for
women is to be established on the “Butler university campus under a petition filed yesterday in probate ‘court by trustees of the Henry C. ‘Long (Indianapolis lumberman) es- : tate, valued now at nearly $1,000,000. ~The institution will be known as ‘the Long Junior College for Women and will be directed by a dean selected by the trustees of the “school. A dormitory building, at least, is to be built on the campus ‘and ‘probably classrooms. Butler university will conduct the school on the approval of an administrative committee made up of three Butler. trustees and three trustees of ‘the new school.
+ Trust Fund Set Up
The establishment of the school came about in this way: In 1901 Mr. Long died leaving under his will a trust fund for the “foundation and maintaining of a school for the higher education of “Women to be located in Indianapolis. The Union Trust Co. was desigdated executor and trustee. The pricipal part of his estate, about $380,000, was included in the trust fund. His widow was given the net income during her life which amounted to $210,000 until her death in 1916. Since that time the estate . has grown to more than $900,000. Trustees appointed for founding of the college are Mrs. Louella McWhirter, Mrs. Annie B. H. Marmon, Mrs. Julia H. MacDonald, Evans Woollen, Edgar W. Evans, Almusi G. Ruddell, Grier M. Shotwell, DeWitt S. Morgan and Charles W. Thompson, chairman. e probate court ruled in 1922 that the trust was valid and only awaited the order of the trustees for founding and maintaining the college. : Liberal Arts Only
Three years ago the trustees entered into negotiations with Butler for permission to establish the college on Butler's campus. A contract was signed by the university and the trustees last December under which Butler would furnish a location on its campus for a - building containing classrooms and dormitory. + Mr. Long's will provides for a liberal arts and not a vocational curriculum. Mr. Thompson said that only women with high scholastic records in high schools would be admitted. The college will give a degree or certificate of graduation and if her study is desired all academic redits carried in the college will apply towards a graduation from Butler university. An attempt will be made to have the college ready by next fall.

WASHINGTON, May 15 (U. P.) .— Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson
declared yesterday that there was a.
“real danger” of air attack on the west. coast and that he was glad that the armed forces .there were on the alert against it. . While he said he had no information on the cause of the alarms ' there, he remarked: ~ “They can’t be on the alert without going farther than necessary at particular times.” Asked to comment on reports attributed to the radio commentator, Walter Winchell, that mass evacuations of enemy aliens had been planned on the east coast, Mr. Stimson replied: “I refer you to the debate between Mr. Winchell and Lieut. Gen. Hugh A. Drum, commander of the eastern defense area. “Gen. Drum says there will be no mass evacuations. Mr. Winchell says there will be. You pays your money and takes your choice.”

The other changes were made last Saturday, when Ira Haymaker, Indianapolis, became ' 11th district chairman succeeding Albert Deluse, who has joined the army, and Joseph Goin of Gary succeeded Chester Foster as first district leader. Mr. Hillenbrand was a leader in the successful .fight of Roy Huckelberry ,Salem, for the Democratic congressional nomination in that district, while Mr. Goin supported Ray Madden in his successful fight to unseat Rep. William Schulte in Lake county.

First Lady Gets 3-Gallon Card
WASHINGTON, May 15 (U. P.).—Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt has received an A gasoline rationing card—entitling her | to three gallons a week—and she expects it will be necessary | for ‘her to use a bicycle ai the family’s Hyde Park, N.- Y, ‘home this summer. Mrs. Roosevelt applied for the A card for her own personal automobile at a special White House registration today. She told a press conference later that she had been presented an English bicycle last year and that she expected it would be her principal means of locomotion between the hig house at Hyde Park and her
away, the forces now directing the party's affairs still have not settled upon a candidate for the tep
3 office—secretary of state.
There were candidates galore around the Claypool hotel Wednesday as the G. O. P. state committee, with 15 new faces in, the 22member lineup, unanimously approved the program of State Chairman Ralph Gates." ; But the supporters .of James Tucker, two-term sectetary of: state, admitted they still had. not decided |S upon his successor. They indicated, however, that a choice would be made soon, possibly this week, and that their favorite would be a surprise. Patronage Involved
Because of the state-wide patronage involved in the auto license setup, the secretary office ranks as the most important to be filled on the state ballot this year. : Through this patronage, Mr. Tucker and Burrell Wright gained control of the state organization last summer, and therefore should be able to nominate their choice for the office at the June 18 party convention here. Maurice Robinson, Mr. Tucker's securities commissioner, long has been considered the choice of his chief for the office, but recently Mr. Robinson said he would prefer, a ‘nomination te the supreme. ¢ or appelate court.
5 Candidates Mentioned
- Mr. Tucker has indicated that he will not force the secretary post on his deputy and that another candidate will be found. To date, five possible candidates have been mentioned, but not .all of them are acceptable .to the Tucker group. R.. Lowell McDaniel, who directs the license setup for Mr. Tucker, is reported to be one possible choice. Two state representatives, both from the second district, also are in the list of possible starters—Rep. Hobart Creighton, poultry . farmer, and Rep. Glenn Slenker, attorney.
Jenner Not Interested
Edwin O’Neel, Hagerstown publisher who was ousted as 10th district chairman earlier this week, is another whose name Mas-been mentioned. Larry Crosby of Bluffton is reported to be gaining strength around his district. William Jenner, president pro tem of the state senate last year and unsuccessful candidate for the governor nomination in 1940, is reported not interested in the nomination. It is said that Mr. Jenner may enter the army soon. ; While everything appeared serene on the surface at yesterday's committee meeting, there were decided repercussions to the successful fight of Homer Capehart, industrialist and farmer, in ousting Ewing Emison, seventh district chairman for 22 years. Capehart Backs Gates
It was Mr. Capehart who moved that the re-election of Mr. Gates as chairman be made unanimous. Meanwhile, however, two of - Mr. Capehart’s supporters were losing their patronage jobs under Mr. Tucker because of their support for the new district chairman. Downald: E. Bowen of Bloomington, Monroe county chairman, was removed as co-manager of the auto license bureau there, and. Mary Hicks, an Emison supporter who was beaten for county vice chairman, was given full control of the bureau.
Aikin Discharged
Howard Aiken of Sullivan, whose wife, Mrs. Leona ‘Aiken, was named Mr. "Capehart’s vice chairman, was discharged as an auditor in the state motor license division here. Another candidate who. reportedly was affected by the Emison ouster was George Henley, a leader in the 1941 legislature whe is considered a leading candidate for attorney general. Mr. Henley’s friends supported Mr. Capehart. Meanwhile, reports from southern Indiana persisted that Mr. Capehart has his eyes on the 1944 U.S, senator nomination, and that the district chairmanship is a stepping stone. His supporters believed that if any opposition to the present state party leadership develops, it will revolve around Mr. Capehart. Other candidates for 1942 nominations mentioned at Wednesday's
meeting were Paul Dowell, Madison, and Wilbur Royse, Indianapolis, for two ot the four appellate court seats, and Russell Rob.ns, Richmond; Paul Harvey, Bloomingtoh, and Judge Paul Wetter, Indianapolis, for clerk of the: supreme court. State Auditor Richard James and State Treasurer James Givens are expected to be renominated without opposition, but there may be “opposition to Dr. C. T. Malan, superintendent of public instruction.

I have checked some of the streets where car rails have been removed and the streets patched and the least I can say is that the paving job in some cases has been rotten.” Mr. Stoops called the mayor's attention to. the bad condition of S. West st. and Lexington ave. where deep and jagged ruts were left by year removal of rails. “The motoring public has contributed. approximately $850,000 a year in ‘the form of gasoline taxes for. the maintenance of our streets,” he said. : “If our streets are in the condition they are because of lack of finances, it would seem to me that it is ‘entirely out of line that the cost of the new street signs now being installed should come from the gasoline taxes.

WASHINGTON, May 15 (U. PJ). —The war department was ready today to take in its stride organization of a “petticoat army.” Organizational plans for the women’s army auxiliary corps, which will enlist women for noncombatant service with the army, have been completed. + They will be put into effect as soon as President Roosevelt signs the bill authorizing the WAAC. War department officials said plans would not be revealed until Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson names a director. Mrs. Oveta Culp Hobby, Houston newspaper executive now attached to the war department’s public relations bureau, was believed to be the leading candidate. The director, or highest ranking member of the WAAC, will have
