TOWNSHIP LEVY OF
_ $1.88.IS APPROVED
fo Residents Wil Pay Only Half as Much as Last Year Because of Change in Boundary <
Line. Deceatur township residents were al the most severe tax blow
in the history of the county today
proved a 1943 rate more than three times higher than they ever had
before. . "The tax rate for that township pared to 53 cents this year. At the same time, adjoining Perry township residents will have their tax rate almost cut in half next year, compared to this year.
Boundary Line Changed
The wide discrepancy in rates resulted from a recent Indiana supreme cour opinion which changed the boundary line between Decatur and Perry townships placing the
. Indianapolis Power & Light Co.
Harding st. plant in" Perry township instead of Decatur township. This change in the boundary line resulted in the loss of about twothirds of Decatur township’s property valuation, and giving it to Perry township. Perry township's rate is expected to be about 65 cents, compared to $1.19 this year.
Warren's Rate Reduced
Warren township’s proposed 78.7cent rate for next year was reduced to 74% cents compared to 77 cents
~ this year. The reductions were madeé
in the tuition and school funds. | Lawrence township officials had proposed a 1943 rate of $1.075. The board cut this to $1.015 compared to the current rate of $1.04. - Washington township was granted a 1943/rate of 54 cents, an increase of 7 cents over the 1942 levy. Pike township’s proposed 84%cent rate was left unchanged. The township’s rate for this year was 97 cents.

‘RALLIES SPONSORED BY NURSING GROUP
¢{ The Central district of the Indiana State Nurses’ association is sponsoring two rallies today to procure and ration all available nursing service in Marion county. One ill be held at 3 p.-m. and another at 8 o'clock tonight in the World War memorial. Direct invitations have been exterided to the 1371 district members and the meetings are open to inactive graduate nurses. The association is especially anxious to reach the latter group in the hope of recruiting a number of nurses for part-time or full-time service. The district's program provides for a listing of subsidiary (practical nurses); group nursing in hospitals so that one private duty nurse may serve several patients under the direction of physicians and the recruiting of private-duty nurses: for service as temporary part-time or full-time hospital staff nurses.
GOEBBELS WARNS OF ‘UP-HILL ROAD’
BERLIN, Sept. 17 (German Broadcast Recorded by U. P. in: London). —The war “will still demand many sacrifices and efforts from us,” Dr. Joseph Goebbels wrote in “Das Reich” this week warning the German peoplé that “there is a steep uphill road before us.” He stressed, however, his belief that Germany would win the war, although he urged his readers not to view the war over-optimistically.

LUDLOW BARES CAPITAL STRESS
Tells Realtors Here Why Lincoln and Wilson
Sought Surcease.
The war tension in Washington is oppressive, Congressman Louis Ludlow told the Indianapolis real estate board in a luncheon address at the Hotel Washington today. “I can understand,” he said, “why the great war presidents, Lincoln and Wilson, found it necessary to find relief from the war strain by resorting to story-telling and lighter literature. “When Lincoln read Artemus Ward and laughed over the jo i the inimitable humorist his heart was bursting but he had to find vent sbmehow,
Wilson Wrote Limericks
“It was the same with Wilson when he wrote limericks and jingles or regaled us newspaper correspondents with humorious stories about our troopers in France that filtered back to him from overseas.” Congressmen Ludlow, who served as a Washington correspondent before being elected to the lower house, devoted most of his talk to reminiscing over his experiences at the national :zgpital.
‘We Are Pretty Tough’
He discussed the work of the appropriations subcommittee on deficiencies, of which he is a member and said “we are pretty tough in cutting out non-defense appropriations and I hope an believe we are going to get tougher before this war is over.” He asserted that there is altogether too much confusion and overlapping of efforts in the emergency agencies at Washington.
SERVICES TOMORROW FOR BONNIE GAYLORD
Mrs. Bonnie Yoakum Gaylord, wife of James Gaylord, will be buried at Crown Hill following services at Crown Hill chapel at 2 p. m. tomorrow. Born in Indianapolis, Mrs. Gaylord graduated from the City hospital school for nurses and rose to, the position of supervisor before going to the Panama Canal Zone, where she was in charge of surgery at Panama City’s government hospital. While in Central America, she met J. C. Gaylord, who was supervisor of International Railways of Central America. The Gaylords lived for some time in San Salvador and Guatemala. ‘Besides her husband, she is survived by two children, Patricia and James Jr., both students at Purdue. Mrs. Gaylord died Tuesday morning at her home in Lafayette.
WHISKY STILL SCRAPPED DECATUR, Ga., Sept. 17 (U. P.). —A 50-pound copper whisky still which had been handed down in one family for four generations was added: to the scrap drive here today. The donater, Charles D. Livsey, explained, incidentally, that the still was registered with the government in 1900 as “out of use.”

with a sigh and a twinkle in her eye. But she really meant it. She has a tinge of gray in her hair but she’s unwilling to sit on the sidelines. She serves now where she can serve best as the energetic director of the civilian defense district 40. And despite her crowded day, she sat in the OCD office at 38th st. and College ave. yesterday and had a downright attack of nostal--gia. Applications by mail were being received in a downtown re- - cruiting office from women anxious to serve in Uncle’ Sam’s navy. ”
2 2 It Was Different Then
THERE WAS NO extensive recruiting program comparable to that of the WAVES in the earlier war. One - just: went over to Washington and tried to enlist. Mrs. Coryell was Rose Mahoney then. She lived in Logansport and had just graduated from Tudor Hall schocl here. She and five of her girl friends heard the government needed office workers. Armed with what they considered carte blanche papers from various congressmen, ‘they ‘sailed off to Washington, fully expeciing the doors to be opened unto them. They weren't. So the young women tackled the marines. “Want ‘some help?” the sextet of Hoosier lasses asked a surprised colonel. He didn’t but the navy did.

came known as yeomanettes. Their rank was yeomanette third class.
+ They could go up through the ranks to yeomanette first class. Under the plan for the WAVES, the enlistees will be apprentice seamen and will go up through ranks comparable to the men, and at the same pay, to Lieut. Commander. “In my day, there were no extensive preparations for enlistment,” Mrs. Coryell recalls. “There was no indoctrination period, no classes on college campuses. One enlisted and began right away on the job. Women served under the male navy personnel in the Washington offices. “I was assigned to the navy’s drafting: and filing department where blueprints of boats were handled. Other yeomanettes were used for clerical wosk and in the code department. I'm no judge, but ‘I'd guess there must have been about 4000 of us altogether. Our service was similar to the jobs the WAVES will undertake— all aimed at relieving men for sea duty.” ” ” s
Took Part in Drills
“WE DIDN'T MISS out on the drilling = though,” she’ recalls. “How well I remember marching up and down in Washington park. “Our uniforms were considered pretty snappy in those days. We had a $100 uniform - allowance. We had G. I. (government issue) clothes, too, but if one wanted to be real “snooty” one had a suit tailored. I remember clearly that I took my first check and spent the entire amount on a uniform and a pair of shoes.” Regulation bloomers and stays in those day did not elicit the controversy about regulation undies which recently hit the headlines.

SHOWDOWN DUE ON A. E. F. VOTE
Sen. Herring Flays Opposition by Secretaries Knox And Stimson.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 17 (U. P.). —The controversy between congress and the secretaries of war and navy over allowing overseas forces to vote in the Noveinber elections appeared headed toward a showdown today. President Roosevelt late yesterday signed a bill designed to permit members . of the armed forces throughout the world to vote by absentee ‘ballots, despite objections by the war and navy departments that sending ballots abroad would give valuable information to the enemy. Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson and Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox told congress that sending ballots to overseas forces would allow a clever enemy to figure out the location and strength of U. S. detachments in foreign theaters. They also termed shipment of ballots “impracticable” because there was no room for them on transport planes and boats would be too slow. Senator Clyde L. Herring (D. Ia.) said the Knox-Stimscn statements were “the damndest things.”
Cites Overseas Mail
“Mr. Knox and Mr. Stimson are getting out on a limb and it looks like we'll have to saw them off,” Senator Herring said. He added that regular mail was being sent overseas troops without “disclosing any military information,” and that the only ones who would learn anything from the ballot returns would be election clerks. The bill signed by Mr. Roosevelt extends absentee voting privileges in federal elections to soldiers, sailors and marines who come from states with no-absentee voting laws.

Draft Board No. 13—
This is another of a series of articles on Marion county’s 15 draft boards. The articles will tell what the manpower situation and prospects are in each board.
By EARL RICHERT
The manpower situation in Board 13 is such that the board is having to use married men with financially independent wives to fill approximately one-fourth of its September and October calls.
During this two-month period the board is using the 9. 5emindes of its available single Most of these are -20-year-olds | ne men, in the 35-t0-44 group.
called are those whom the board had started processing before the servicemen’s dependents allowance act went into effect in July, This act stopped boards from taking married men with working wives until it was impossible to fill calls with single men. That time already has come in Board 13. 3 Board 13 has started reclassifying the 3-As and 3-Bs who have collateral dependents and it will start sending from this group .in November, But as there are not very many men in this class in the area, the board will have to continue filling the quotas with married men with financially independent wives. William H. Book, board chairman, predicted that the board’s supply of married men with working wives would last at least until the first of the year. : Then, he said, the board will start calling married men with dependent wives. (Board 13, like other boards, is under orders from selective service’ headquarters not to call men with children until ordered to do §0.) Study Each Case
In calling single. men with collateral dependents and married men with dependent wives, Mr. Book said that the board would go into each case and would call no man where it was evident that such action would work “an undue hardship.” Board 13, which covers two South Side wards and Perry township, has a large number of dairy farmers and truck gardeners as well as de-
fense plant workers.

Mr. Book said that the board had tried to avoid taking men off the farms that would interfere with food production and men out of war plants that would interfere with necessary production. “We undoubtedly have made some mistakes,” Mr. Book commented, “but we have tried to decide each of these cases with the best interests of the country in mind.” He said he believed that the manpower situation was getting to the place now where it would be necessary to tell industry that it “must” et replacements for those men in

AUTHOR'S NOTE: There have been. five complaints concerning the statement in the board 11 draft story published Tuesday that the only married men called ‘so far by the board were those married: since Pearl Harbor or who were not: supporting their wives and families. Board Chairman William Ros‘ner explained today that there have been married men called by the board who married since passage of the draft act, Sept. 16; 1940. Some of these men have children. He said that a case ‘involving a man married after passage of the draft act and before Pearl Harbor had been carried to the president and that the president had upheld the calling of the man. He said that the board. had acted in accordance with this ruling on other cases. The board has interpreted the president’s ruling to mean that married men in such circumstances should be regarded as single men.

Officers of the county Young Republican - organization were appointed today by Henry E. Ostrom, county chairman. Edward J.
