BOND SALE HERE

, Program to Be Held at War ‘Memorial Saturday;

State Off Goal.

That war bond quota record which Indiana has made the highest in the nation during three successive months of the drive may fall 10 per cent short of its August goal of

$19,000,000. Early reports indicated that Marion county was among the counties in the lower bracket of sales percentages in the state. ‘Indianapolis and the county will have to invest $2,163,03765 by next Monday to reach this month’s goal. : As bulletins were being sent to all county chairmen urging a last-min-ute buy-an-extra-bond drive in their respective territories, plans went ahead here for one of the greatest inspirational world war II programs to be held in Indianapolis. It will be a city-wide community sing at 7 p. m. Saturday on the north steps of the war memorial.

Fill Those Albums

Hoosiers who have nearly filled or partially filled war stamp albums are urged to scrape up the necessary cash and to turn in the-albums in order to invest in an extra August

(bond. : ‘Newspapers and radio stations are carrying the message to all corners of Hoosierland and one local radio station, WIBC, has hit upon the idea of having the people on its bond-selling programs deliver the government securities to the invest- - ors in person. Members of the victory sales council in Marion county and the state are in the midst of a drive to secure investments of from $5000 to to $100,000 in series F and G war bonds. Banks are urging those who attended the $2,000,000 French Lick " Springs hotel rally to turn their orders into actual purchases at once, even earlier than the 30-day period permitted by the order blanks. :

; Rodeheaver to Direct Saturday night's community sing will be under the supervision of Augustus Zanzig, nationally famous authority on community singing, and will be directed by Homer Rodeheaver, conductor of a school for community singing leaders each year at Winona lake. Sponsored by the Indiana federation of music clubs and the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce, the sing has been indorsed by the Indiana committee for victory and by three labor unions, A. F. of L, C. I. O. and the Railway brotherhoods. Mr. Zanzig’s appearance here will be made possible by the treasury department’s war savings staff. A half hour patriotic program on ¥ the carillon in the Scottish Rite cathedral will be played bY ‘Sidney Giles preceding the sing. Hugh McK. Landon, Indianapolis, director of the national recreation association of which Mr. Zanzig has been musical director for years, said today that all who are interested in music will have g real treat in store for them at Saturday night's sing.

SOLDER VOTE BILL PASSED BY SENATE

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26 (U. P.). —The senate yesterday approved, 47 to 5, legislation extending absentee voting privileges to members of the armed forces after writing in a highly controversial amendment exempting such voters from poll taxes in eight southern states. The measure goes back to the house for concurrence in the pol tax and other amendments voted by the senate. Most southern senators fought

[| | bitterly but in vain against the poll * [tax proposal, which was offered by Senator Wayland C. Brooks (R.

IL). Democratic leader Alben W. Barkley of Kentucky, who favors abolition of the poll tax restrictions, feared the action would “jeopardize”

i|the bill's chances in the house until

late September.

Most of Passengers Are still Aboard Gripsholm At Jersey City.

The Gripsholm, exchange liner carrying American diplomats and refugees from thé Pacific war zone, remained at its Jersey City dock today with most of its passengers, including 10 from Indiana.

Scores of federal agents were checking so closely to prevent escape of any disloyal persons that it

n st.;| appeared likely that all the passen-

gers might not be able to come ashore until the end of the week. The passenger list included Mr. and Mrs. B.D. autey and their two sons, ~~ Alexander Paul, the Rev. James McCallum and the Rev. W. W. Haskell, all members of the

st. missionary staff of the Disciples of ;| Christ whose headquarters are here;

the Rev. Paul J. Bordenet of Linton and the Rev. Clarence J. Witte of Richmond, both Maryknoll Catholic fathers, and Dr. Edgar W. Moreland of Indianapolis, a member of the U. S. Public Health Staff in Hong Kong. 1451 Persons on Board

A total of 1451 were aboard when

the Gripsholm docked yesterday.” A

few more than 300 had been allowed to go ashore by last night. Some had been sent to Ellis Island for detention and additional investigation. Federal agents caught Karl Friedrich Bahr, since convicted as a Nazi spy, holm, the last exchange liner to arrive here. The first person ashore from the Gripsholm was Joseph C.

I MINISTER TEALAND

President to Confer With ‘Fraser at White House On War Effort.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26 (U. P.). —President Roosevelt and Prime

‘Minister Peter Fraser of New Zea-

land, who arrived in Washington today, will plunge into the grim

| business of war discussions at din-

ner tonight after the prime minister is is received at ‘the White] . House. White House Secretary Stephen

|T. Early said the president and

2110 HOOSIERS ON

Mrs. Roosevelt decided to goahgad with plans to entertain the prime minister . at dinner despite ‘the|lice death of the Duke of-Kent in an airplane crash. -

Embassy O. K's Plans . He said they had felt some doubt

about the propriety of the dinner in view of the duke’s tragic death, but that they decided to carry out

their plans after seeking the ad‘|vice of the state department and

the British embassy. Fraser arrived at the national airport this morning and was received by Secretary of State Cordell’ Hull. His official welcome at the White House, however, was scheduled for this afternoon. Mr.

Early said the president would re-|

ceive him, and that the two would have tea together. Fraser will spend the night at the White House. “The dinner tonight is going to be informal, more or less a business meeting,” Mr. Early said.

Other Meetings Follow

The importance of the discussions caused the British embassy to advise that the program be completed rather than postponed. Mr. Early said the embassy and the state department “felt that the British government and the royal family would not want the death of the duke to interfere with the prosecution of the war.” Mr. Roosevelt’s conferences with Fraser will be followed with similar meetings with leaders of two other British dominions—Prime Minister Jan Christian Smuts of the Union of South Africa and Prime Minister John Curtin of Australia. Dates of their ‘visits have not been announced, but they are expected to come here soon. All. of the meetings are designed to draw the dominions more closely into the united nations war effort.
