Few Rallies. By EARL RICHERT

Plans for conducting a “concen-

trated” fall campaign with a minimuni use of automobile tires were mapped today by the Republican state committee at the Claypool hotel. : : G. O. P. leaders agreed that because of the rubber situation the campaign this fall would have to depend heavily”on precinct organ= ization and that political rallies

would have to be held at a mini- :

mum, As is customary in election years, plans were formulated for the establishment of labor, agriculture, Negro voters, young Republican, women ‘and speaking bureaus.

Plan Poll of Voters

State Chairman Ralph Gates also defailed a plan for taking a poll of voters ‘90 days before election time to determine if the Republican ' voters were registered and, if not, to get them to do so. A resolution was adopted honoring Elam H. Neal, former internal revenue collector here and long a leader in the Republican party, who died Sunday at Marion, Meeting with the state committee . were the party’s nominees for state offices and representatives of the Republican Editorial ‘association.

Invite New Speakers

A number of Republicans urged that the party make the alleged lack of use of farm products in the manufacture of synthetic rubber a major campaign issue. . This issue, leaders said, would attract the farm vote. Party leaders said they would welcome all persons who might desire to come into the state to speak for the G. O. P. ticket in the fall campaign. : These leaders, headed by Mr. Gates, stressed the fact that there was no truth to rumors.that the state committee would not welcome Wendell Willkie as a campaign speaker. ' They said, noWevers that they doubted he would enter the fall campaign in Indiana, pointing out that he was too busy to attend the annual beefsteak dinner at the Columbia club.

50 VOTING MACHINES SOUGHT BY COUNTY

The county council today voted an additional appropriation of $65,~ 500 to purchase 50 new voting machines. The money will be borrowed from the school fund. i The<«app. lation must po iapproved by the county tax board before the machines can be bought. The machines are so constructed that they are capable of tabulating the county primary election ballots. It is the plan of the council and commissioners eventually to substitute these new type machines for the present kind, thereby doing away with the central counting system. Councilmen said the machines weuld “more than pay for themselves in this way. “The county at present has 366 voting machines. Twenty of these, however, are beyond repair. It is believed that nearly every precinct will have.a voting machine for the fall elec. tion.

HINCKLEY TO LEAVE COMMERGE POSITION

WASHINGTON, July 7 (U. P.) — The White House today announced the resignation of Robert H. Hinckley as assistant secretary of commerce. President Roosevelt accepted Hinckley's resignation effective July 1, after the assistant secretary wrote him that he was leaving his post “to undertake .work of great importance in the war production program which is closely related to aviation.” Hinckley will associate himself with the Sperry Corp. in New York. Secretary of Commerce Jesse H. Jones appointed William A, M. Burden of New York, an official of the Defense Supplies Corp. to take over Hinckley's duties temporarily. '

TRANSIT CHANGE NOW IN EFFECT

680 Downtown Offices Alter Hours; Plants Agree to Stagger Paydays.

A large number of industrial plants also have agreed to change their paydays, staggering them to avoid congestion of workers in the} shopping - district.

Stores Change Hours

' = ‘The program was mapped out by the Chamber of Commerce transportation committee and received the approval of Edward Zink, Indianapolis administrator of the office of defense transportation.

It took a war to make us realize just how popular are those beefsteak leavings, how cherished. are the fried egg remains, how valuable are the broiler drippings. Ladies, grease is dough? And because it is, ‘you’ re in the middle of it. The federal government is starting a campaign to have all grease and cooking fats saved, turned over to. grocers and meat dealers at a nickel a pound and sent back to the industry for glycerin for war. But, says your. city government, you are thereby snatching $125,000 a year right out of the city’s pocketbook. ; Indianapolis has a reduction plant where all garbage is turned into fats and then sold by the city to the soap and glycerin manufacturers. And that, by the way, is 2% cents on the local tax rate. In fact the

So Mayor Sullivan today wrote to Douglas Hartshorne who is in charge of the national kitchen fats program pointing out the “serious problem” “the government's campaign. is presenting the city. He suggested “that the advertising ‘directed within the city limits of Indianapolis urge the: house‘wives to put all fats in their gar‘bage rather than burn them or dispose of them otherwise.” ° “In this manner they are aiding

their government as much as if}

they disposed of it to a retailer,” said the mayor. Dudley Smith, director of the state salvage campaign} says he sees the logic in the mayor’s complaint and feels sure Mr. Hartshorne will also.

Until it is: settled, the mayor]

and Mr.. Smith recommend that housewives keep: putting : their kitchen fats. in the garbage and “keep ‘em fryin’. »
