By EARL RICHERT
Indiana Democrats went into the fall campaign a today with two definite objectives: ‘1. To defeat the state’s eight G. O. P. congressmen, all ;

(It would take a virtual landslide to give the Democrats control of the:state - senate.) “These election goals were presented to 1000 party leaders and Democratic editors at the kickoff event of the fall campaign, the banquet of the ‘Democratic editorial association Saturday night at the Claypool hotel, by Governor Schricker and Winfield K. Denton, the two keynote speakers. Hits G. 0. P. War Record
‘Mr, Denton, the party's candidate for secretary of state, .dwelt at length on the voting records of the Republican congressmen and asserted that ‘even Ham Fish has a better voting record than they.” “Why,” he said, “we wouldn't have a bathtub afloat today if we had left preparedness to the Republican congressman from Indiana.” Mr.. Denton enumerated a number of defense measures against ‘* which the Republican congressmen voted, among them the lend-lease law, the extension of the draft, tne arming of merchant ships and the reopening of combat zone§.
Laud Wendell Willkie
Both Mr. Denton and Governor Schricker praised Wendell Willkie, who is not exactly in high favor with most of the persons now in control of the Republican party in Indiana. : “The governor referred to Mr. Willkie as the “great leader of the Republican party of the last election who is on the battlefronts now ' ==doing service we might expect of any loyal Hoosier.” And Mr. Denton issued a formal invitation “to our Republican friends” to follow the leadership of Mr.

to re-enter public life.
But that’s the “honor” the Democrats intend to bestow during
the fall campaign on former U. S.
old hum-bug” of the Republican party in Indiana.
The Democrats believe that a great majority of the people of Indiana feel now that Americans wouldn’t be spilling their blood on foreign soil today had not a group of men in the U. S. senate, headed by Senators Lodge and Watson, defeated Woodrow Wilson on the League of Nations controversy. “They believe that the people don’t want anything: like this to “happen again and consequently they intend to shout Watson's record from every campaign platform and then attempt to prove that the present Republican leadership is “Watson-minded.” : They will use this argument chiefly, of course, against the Republican congressional candidates, eight of whom as incumbent con__gressmen have compiled what the Democrats term “isolationist” ‘records. 8 8 8
First Shots Fired - BOTH GOVERNOR SCHRICKER and Democratic State Chairman Fred Bays launched this ‘angle of the campaign attack upon the Republicans. at the meeting of the Democratic editorial association here Saturday. They cited as evidence that the ‘present state Republican leaders are “Watson-minded” .the fact that the former senator was invited to make one of the main talks at the recent G. O. P. state convention and the fact that.
Wendell Willkie was not included -
emong the host of party notables whose pictures decorated the con- - yention walls. © (It is no secret, of course, that ‘most of Indiana's present G. O. P. Willkie or for most of his policies, one of which is full support of
the president on foreign matters. »
Watson’ S Book Quoted
IN FIRING the opening gun Watson-
party, the governor read a passage from Mr. Watson's book, “As I Knew Them,” to the Demo- : _eratic party leaders. "The passage (Page 190) told how | Senator Lodge Be Haseon

leaders have no love for Mr. .|*
wilikie, who is supporting the president's foreign policy. The governor spoke at length on ‘he record of the 1941 G. O. P.-
controlled general assembly and| ‘termed the leadership of that leg-|
islature “as un-American for the most part” in trying to strip the governor of most of his powers. The chief executive took State Auditor Richard T. James to task for issuing various statements concerning state finances which he termed “confusing.” He cited the G. O. P. claims of credit for a good share of the $20,000,000 surplus in the state treasury and asserted that it was revenue laws passed by the Democrats “that put it there.”
Promise “Higher Pay
Referring to the critical situation in the state institutions where great difficulty is being encountered in obtaining employees at the prevailing low-wage scales, the governor said:. “If the people will give us a sympathetic general assembly, we will see to it that the standards of living of the employees: at the state institutions are raised. This will include shortening their working hours.” In an address to Democratic editors earlier in the day, the governor said he hoped that the campaign would be fought on high levels and that personalities would not beconie involved. Democratic State Chairman Fred Bays told the party workers that the party would go into the fall campaign with the best organizaJon in its history. : He asked them “to 20 out and see to it that our people give our governor and our president people with whom they can work during their two remaining years in cffice.” .

TAX ADJUSTING BOARD ON JOB
Walsman Named Chairman As Budget Reviews Are Started. + The county tax adjustment board, final authority in fixing local budgets and tax rates for 1943, began
deliberations today after electing Albert Walsman, city hospital busi-
‘ness manager, as its chairman.

Of this amount, $19,000,000 is to be raised by direct property taxation.

McCormack, George Sadlier, of the county council; and Roscoe Conkle of the city school board. : They will review all budgets and fix tax rates before Oct. 1.

No Sign of Regret: ‘Without the least sign of regret, but in a bragging vein, he described to District Attorney Thomas J. Weldon how he had first humiliated the women, who, in deference to his uniform had befriended him on the highway, and then pumped bullet after bullet into their nude bodies. He denied that he had raped them, though autopsy reports showed they had been subjected to
rape. Bailey joined the army two years

Hattiesburg at the age of 11 for theft. Released on parole, he was returned several years later.
Freed again, he killed—according to|
his story to Weldon—two Negroes, one at Biloxi, Miss, then, some months later, gouia, Miss. Then he joined the army and within a year was serving six months in a military prison for desertion. Returned to duty, deserfed from Ft. Bragg, N. C., Sept. 3. Last Monday he was on ‘the highway near Kenosha, Wis, en route to California with ‘a stolen 45 caliber army revolver, planning to_slay his. brother, W. R. Bailey, who, five years ago, had been instrumental in returning him io the reform school.
Ordered Two Out of Car
Late that afternoon, Miss :Pletrangeli and Miss Baun left their homes ‘in Kenosha in Miss Pietrangeli's car to drive to Sparta, Wis., when they ‘stopped for a traffic light. Bailey approached and asked for a ride. They drove for half
an hour, he told Weldon, while he planned what to do to get their car. He told Miss Pietrangeli to turn off the main highway into a
lonely, country road. She. ignored] him, drove past. He produced his] ‘{revolver, compelled her to stop, back]
up, and turn into the road. - They drove for a mile along the lonely road before he ordered Miss Pietrangeli to halt at a place whee woods came down to it on either side. He ordered them out of the car, and, brandishing his revolver, compelled them to take off their clothes. p : x
Picked Up Two in Iowa
Miss Baun was shot seven times; Miss Pietrangeli, three. Bailey threw their clothes into the car and drove off. At Sioux City, Iowa. he picked up Miss Conley, and Alberta ‘Coon, 16, both of Anthon, Iowa, who were hitch-hiking to visit
men for field duties.
