“They are all good campaigners

"The governor agreed with the view of other party leaders that the fact that the entire ticket was named by acclamation was proof of party harmony.

inclusive, put their names on America’s manpower roster yesterday in the fifth registration, but no offi-
county registrations. ’ Officials previously had thought the registration would be about halt of what the third registration was on Feb. 16. A total of 225,000 men from 21 to 45, inclusive, signed at that time.
Estimate 112,000 Signs
On the basis of those figures, about 112,000 registered in the state
yesterday and about 11,00 in Marion county, figuring on a premise that 10 per cent of the state’s population is centered ih Marion county. Selective service officials, however, refused to make an estimate and said that the tendency of observers was to make their predictions too high. Yesterday's registration went “smoothly” over the state, officials said, with no serious difficulties being reported any place. Only the 20-year-olds who signed up are subject to military service under the present law.

OIL SALESMEN | AID SCRAP DRIVE
-Speed Collection of ; Rubber in State.
Forty-five crack oil salesmen were crdered today to forget about competition, go out in the state and employ their powers of persuasion in the rubber campaign. “Forget about competition,” J. G. Sinclair, state scrap rubber drive chairman, told the salesmen at a meeting today at the Hotel Severin. “This is an industry proposition. Youre working for the governmen Yesterday the major oil companies of the state agreed to contribute the full-time services of their top salesmen during the 10-
day extension of the campaign for scrap rubber.
Assigned by County
The salesmen were assigned counties and until the drive closes July 10, they will assist county chairman. “I hope you realize how serious this is,” Mr. Sinclair said. “I don't know when there's been a time when you have had an opportunity to show your ability as much as you have at this time.” Salesmen were warned that if gasoline rationing .comes, they face loss of their jobs. Yesterday the
cial figures were issued on state or United Press reported from Wash-
ington that further rubber conservation measures appear inevitable, but that the more old rubber turned in, the less stringent those measures probably will be.
Others Add Warnings
“I'm afraid we've allowed the piles of rubber at the service stations to lull us to sleep,” Frank L./Cochran, of Standard Oil, warmed. He suggested that those piles be cleared immediately and Mr.
Randall D. Collins, of the Phillips Petroleum Co., said he thought the time had come to “inject the element of fear” into those who are engaging in the campaign. He urged that the salesmen make it plain to filling station operators and others in the ' industry that they face “separation from their jobs” if the campaign doesn't come up to President Roosevelt's expectations.
10,000 Asked to Aid
Meantime, letters were being mailed today to a “committee of 10,000” prominent Indiana businessmen who will be affected if gasoto take a part in the'drive. The hotel men, store operators, restaurant owners, ete. | Inclosed were two cards, one of which they are to send in to signify
notify they've done their job. Each has been assigned the responsibility to get in one ton of rubber. “Let them know they're in this thing just as much as we are. Many of them will have to close up and go out of business if we have real

Internal revenue officials said sales were -considerably below the rate of last Feb. 1, when the use tax law became effective and stamps were first placed on autos.

PROHIBITIONISTS SELECT TICKET
Party Names Full Slate; Opposes Beer Sale
‘In Army Camps.
A complete ticket for the November election was chosen by the Prohibition party at its state convention yesterday in the First Church of the Nazarene, Nominated were: the Rev. C. G. Holston of Linn Grove for secre-
|tary of state. F. W. Lough of Wi-
nona Lake, attorney general; Dr. Myron L. Tripp of Upland, superintendent of public instruction; Miss Sanora Pruden of Indianapolis, auditor; F. O. Ross of Modoc, treasurer, and C. E. Haworth of Mooresville, clerk of the supreme and appellate courts. The platform adopted opposed sale of beer in army camps and all liquor in zones to be established around the camps, pledging the party ultimately to outlaw all liquor traffic. It also asked for pensions on a national basis for all persons who retire at 60 and the reduction of taxes in the state.
“Of course we intend to see that

personal integrity of the person involved. But that's what happened to Judge Curtis Roll of the state supreme court at the Democratic party convention here yesterday. By the time balloting was to start, Judge Roll's opponent, Circuit Court Judge R. C. O'Byrne of Brookville, had amassed so much delegate strength that Roll did not even allow his name to be placed before the
convention. A number of factors contrib-
uted to the “falling away” of
Judge Roll’s support. Chief among these was the fact that Judge Roll had served 12 years on the high court bench at a salary of $10,000 a year. And to the delegates, most of them from small towns, $120,000 in -salary
seemed like enough for even the -
most deserving Democrat. The O'Byrne forces effectively drove this point home. They said that it was now time to pass this good- job on to another Democrat. This money angle, rather than the fact that Judge Roll had had two terms on the high bench, seemed to have the greatest effect upon the delegates. But that was not all. Judge O'Byrne, a former president of the state bar association, had a better organization than Judge Roll.
Backed by McHale
JUDGE ROLL, it is true, had some powerful supporters, including Frank McHale, Democratic national committeeman, and Michael L. Fansler, another supreme court justice. But the O'Byrne forces were more active from the start in seeking support. Some especially effective work was put in for Judge O'Byrne by Mrs. Inez Scholl, former state vice chairman. Another thing many of the more politically-minded delegates had against Judge Roll was that hé® had not taken an active enough part in the affairs of the Democratic party. Rightfully enough, most of the members of the high court try to stay as far removed from politics as possible except when they are up for nomination and election. This irritates many party stalwarts. » 8 8
Daughter on Payroll
JUDGE ROLL also received some criticism for having his married daughter on the; state payroll. She served as -his secretary for some time and then
became secretary to an appellate court judge. Judge Roll himself took his defeat good-naturedly. “The Democratic party has been very kind to me. And I have no sore spots,” he sdid. “IL knew when I was elected that I would be defeated some time. it's part of the game.” : The judge, one of the four Democratic justices who wrote the now famous “ripper suit”: ‘opinion knocking out the 1941 G. O. P. decentralization program, said he would go back to Kokomo to practice law at the end of his present term. = 2 8 Fansler Up in 44 - DEFEAT OF Judge Roll yese terday presented a not “ico bright picture to Judge Fansler, an out-and-out McNutt-McHale man. 3 Judge Fansler also ends -two. terms on the high court bench in ‘1944 and many of the same reas: sons exist for declining to ree nominate him, if he seeks ree: nomination, that existed - for - Judge Roll. .
DROWNS AS TIME FOR SERVICE NEARS
MICHIGAN CITY, Ind, July I. (U.P).—Robert W. Rowley, 25, writer for religious magazines and son of a Methodist minister, was drowned in Lake Michigan just a few hours before he was scheduled ‘to report to the army yesterday. The La Porte county coroner said Rowley, a Cornell college graduate,
until his strength gave out and then drowned. His body was found floating near the shore. A note in Rowley’s room, ade dressed to his father, the Rev. W, Glen Rowley, Mt. Vernon, Iowa, said, “This is the only way out. I'm sorry, but it’s inevitable,” according to authorities.

AXIS PROPAGANDISTS y attempt to sever Americanlish unity by capitalizing on current British reverses, E. A. Kirby, London fire department officer, warned at a dinner meeting of the Indianapolis chamber of com‘merce safety council last night in Hotel Severin. “It is absolutely necessary,” he said, “that both America and England retain and develop strong unity—not only to bring about successful completion: of the war, but "also to insure that never again, throughout the peace that follows, will it be possible for conditions such as exist today to be created.” - R. D. McDaniel, chairman of the fire prevention and protection committee of the safety council, presided. Other guests were H. H. Fulmer, fire chief; Wallace O. Lee, safety council chairman; Dr. R. N. Harger, vicé chairman, and C. M. Richart, chairman of the industrial safety club.

Y LOUIS F. KEEMLE United Press War Analyst Axis gains in Egypt and the mounting SCOPE of the German drive in Russia made it appear increasingly probable today that the united nations will have to open a second front in‘ Europe this year to relieve the pressure on the Soviet Union. It now is fairly obvious that Adolf Hitler will have to knock Russia out this year if he has any" hopes of winning the war.

The recent confersnces between Hitler and Baron Mannerheim of Finland were interpreted by allied sources as a probable prelude to a drive in the Arctic. The fourth danger to Russia lies in an ‘invasion of Siberia by Japan. ‘This would be the logical, oppor: une time for Japan to attack, while Russia is under the heaviest Tressure in the west.

LEMKE MAINTAINS LEAD IN PRIMARY
BISMARCK, N. D,, July 1 (U.P). —Former Congressman William B. Lemke, Union party presidential candidate in 1936, and Rep. Usher Burdick maintained slight leads today for the Republican nomination for two congressmen-at-large seats on the basis of incomplete returns in North Dakota’s primary election. Returns from 318 precincts in the Republican gubernatorial primary gave: Lieut. Gov. Oscar Hagen, 8629; Earl Symington, speaker of the state house of representatives, 7664. The only contest on the Democratic ticket was between three candidates seeking nomination for two congressmen-at-large posts. Halvor Halvorson,” Minot attorney, and E. A. Johansson, Raub, a farmer, were leading Harry Lohse, Fargo 'businessman, by a slight margin.
‘SLIGHTLY COOLER, SAYS BUREAU AGAIN
The weather bureau repeated its promise of “slightly cooler” weather today and tonight, following 90-de-gree temperatures that have made Indianapolis perspire freely the past two days. The record temperature for today is 96, set in 1931 and 1941. Yesterday the bureau dlso predicted “slightly cooler,” but at 3:15 p. m. the mercury had climbed to 91, only two degrees under Monday's high. Monday was one of the four hottest days of the summer. .
