BY EARL RICHERT

IF THERE IS ONE THING certain about what Gen. Robert H. Tyndall will do when he takes the mayor's office it is that he will oust Michael F. Morrissey, a Democrat, as police chief. The general and his close ‘associates long have made that point repeatedly clear to all concerned, especially to those businessmen who have been the police chief's main source of support during. battles

over his job in years past. Chief Morrissey, who recognizes the fact that his ll-year tenure as police chief is nearly at an end, said today that he would stay with the department in whatever capacity he might be placed. He has been with the department for 21 years and is eligible to retire on a pension but with the police department short of men he is going to stay. There is no rule to prohibit the new city administration from demoting him to the rank of patrolman, if it so deems. But he cannot be dismissed under merit system rules except for misconduct. Names of several policemen are ‘being mentioned in Republican circles for the chief's job, but Gen. Tyndall himself has kept “a close mouth” on the matter and no one knows whom he will pick. ” ” ”

Task for the Governor

THE ELECTION of Municipal Judge Dan V. White as judge of the Marion county probate court means that Governor Sechricker will have to appoint two RepubHean municipal judges at the end -of this year.-.

The term of Judge John Niblack

of Court 4, who was appointed to succeed the. late Charles Karabell, ends on Dec. 31 and ale though there is some opposition to his reappointment it is re--garded - as highly probable that the governor will reappoint him. The lawyer named to succeed Judge White will serve until the

end of 1944. A municipal judge-

ship“ pays $5000 annually. The necessity of appointing two Republican municipal judges is “bad news” for the governor if it is. anything like it was when he appointed Judge Niblack. More pressure was brought on him on that appointment than on any other he has made since he assumed the governor’s chair, 8 8 =

Conservation Seen

POLITICAL: OBSERVERS don’t believe that the Republicans in the next session of the

legislature will repeat their per-!

formance of 1941 ‘in trying to strip the governor of all his pat_ronage. In the first place, it is only two years until another governor will take over and the Republicans are confident, because of the present trend, that he will be a Republican. The viewpoint of mest of the G. O. P. leaders is that there is no use trying to. change the governmental structure radically for Just such a short time, especially with comparatively few of + the

party’s members wanting what are now lowly paid state jobs. There is no doubt that the 43 G. 0. P.-controlled legislature will make some limited changes, State Chairman Ralph Gates himself < hinted at this in an election-eve statement in which he said: “The people of Indiana realize that due to the accident of a New Deal governor slipping in with an otherwise Republican victory in 1940, they were blocked in their mandate to correct completely the McNutt dictatorship laws. This

they will expect us to do in the B

1943 legislature.” The Democrats of course are skeptical. They are expecting the worst, especially with the Republicans having the advantage this time of having an attorney general on their team. ’ 2 ” ®

Schricker’s Viewpoint

GOVERNOR SCHRICKER'S viewpoint on the election: “The people have spoken and their verdict must be accepted. I still have faith in the democratic processes of government. I want to work with whoever has the responsibility in the Republican party. The big job is to win this war and we've all got to work together to do that.” . #8 8

Tyndall Boom Starts

ODDS AND ENDS: As was to be expected, many of Gen. Tyndall’'s friends are now booming him for-~the governorship two years hence, . . ._ Arch N. Bobbitt, former state G. O. P. chairman who got on Tyndall's bandwagon at the start, is reported to ‘be the likely choice for the ime portant post of corporation counsel. . . . Charles Skillen, executive secretary of the Democratic state committee, took the G. O. P. victory with a smile. “There certainly isn’t any better time than the present to have to go out and look for jobs,” he said. Yes, it is a lot better than 1933, all right.

It cannot yet be said that Rommel’s strong frontal defenses between the sea and the Qattara Depression have been broken. However, they have been cracked and the British evidently have broken through in considerable depth at

Incomplete Cairo dispatches speak of one three-mile gap where the British are approaching the open desert.

It may turn out to be that the first phase of the battle was the hardest. Once the fortified outer line of the Alamein defenses is broken, the British should be “over the hump” and able to force a decision in the desert.

It is*now clear that the offensive was expertly planned over many weeks. Not the least important was the aerial blasting of Rommel’s supply lines and’ bases, particularly the: Libyan ports. It is a question whether ‘Rommel will be able to replace tank and motorized losses, which already are reported to have been heavy in a big

Razor Output Halted by WPB

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4 (U. P.) —The war production board today prohibited all manufacture of safety razors for civilian use and cut output of blades to 80 per cent of i production. The order, which is expected | to save approximately 800 tons “of steel, authorizes safety razor production only for the armed forces, lend-lease and for export. WPB said there will be “ample” razor blades for civilians in 1943. ‘ Straight razors will not be made after Jan. 1. Manufacturers will produce, among other things, commando knives.

When the telegram came from Rep. Downs, conceding her vice tory, she emitted a joyous shriek. Arm in arm with her husband, Henry, Time-Life-Fortune pub- . lisher, Mrs. Luce hastened out to lead a noisy parade through the downtown section.

NO. 1 AIR SAILOR TAKES VITAL JOB

Navy’s New Aeronautics Sees Planes and Supplies

As Solomons Need.

By THOMAS M. JOHNSON Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.—The na-

"{tion’s No. 1 air-sailor is no “swivel

chair admiral”—he can’t sit still long enough. He is up and about, in and out, darting and swooping through the navy department building like a little fighter plane trying to get out and at the enemy. That’s Rear Admiral John Sidney McCain, our new chief of the bureau of naval aeronautics. His job is one of the most important and conspicuous in our entire war effort—to equip the navy with ightning speed for the new air-sea Admiral McCain knows what- that warfare is. Already he has seen it and felt it. For six months he has commanded all naval aircraft in the south Pacific. In September he made two trips to the Solomon islands, flying in a B-17 which led in Jarge numbers of marine fighter planes, slip-

ping them in at dusk when the Japs

couldn't see. And staying, under gunfire and bombing.

“, . « Ran Himself Ragged”

He was all over the island, seeking first-hand knowledge, questioning all who had fighting experience; his ruddy, freckled face alight with a puckish grin, bright: eyes twinkling and snapping, gray hair rumpled,

too,

Mighter’s jaw outthrust. He ran him-

self ragged, lost five pounds from his short, spare frame. But he has lost six more in a month, trying to stay in a swivel chair “in Washington. Now he weighs 140 in his shiny blue uniform with the frayed braid and ribbons—working clothes for a working air-sailor who is best described by the phrase “hard-bitten.”

Bombs fell on Guadalcanal with racking, roaring blasts. Cramped in a dugout beneath the arching roots of a banyan tree, sailors and marines cursed the Japs colorfully. Then up rose a young lieutenant, who said:

“Stop this profanity! Don't you know there’s an admiral present?”

He’s Fancy Cusser

Ensued death-like silence, broken by sounds of an admiral chuckling. For John Sidney McCain is one of the navy’s’ best plain-and-fancy

Rush Holt Wins Assembly Seat WESTON, W. Va., Nov. 4 (U. P.).—Rush D, Holt, one-time “boy

senator” from West Virginia, who ~failed to win re-election in 1940,

representative of Lewis county in the state house of delegates. Holt collected 3964 Democratic’ votes for election from the district where he started his political career 12 years ago, compared with 2321 votes received by his Republican opponent, Ackerman Carroll.

SUNDAY LIQUOR LAW

SOMERVILLE, N. J, Nov. 4 (U. P.).—An error in wording turned advocates of a proposal to legalize Sunday sale of liquor in Warren township into bitter opponents at the last minute, Expecting to vote for a proposal to legalize sale of liquor from 2 a, m. to noon Sundays, they found when they read their ballots that the proposal would prohibit sale from midnight to 2 a. m. They worked fast and beat the proposal,” 492 to 86.
