LAWSUIT TO FX | 71 ‘BRADFORD TERM

y Republicans Confer 0 Arranging Details of Friendly Action.

A conference of Republican lead-|

4 ers was scheduled today to plan a friendly lawsuit to determine how long James L. Bradford, the newly appointed G. O. P. auditor, will stay in office.

Ralph F. Moore, a Republican,

was elected county auditor last week, but because of the death two weeks ago of Auditor Glenn B. Ralston, Democrat, the question of what date the new auditor should take - office has been raised.

Agreebale to Bradford

Mr. Ralston’s term would not have ended until Dec. 31, 1943, but a supreme court ruling held that in the event of a vacancy in an elective office a newly elected officer should fill the vacancy when he is qualified.

Mr. Bradford said he was not in- |! terested in holding the office alll§

next year and said he would propose a test suit for g declaratory

judgment and would give up the]

office to Mr. Moore at a time the court might designate. : A suit to settle the question is . expected to be filed in’ one of the county courts within the next few days.

DECEMBER CALL

Most State Boards Must Fill Lists With Married Men, Hitchcock Says.

The manpower situation throughout the state has reached the point where practically all local draft boards will have to fill their December calls with married men, Col. Robinson Hitchcock, state draft head, announced today. In calling married men, the local boards are not to call those with children except in instances where

was imminent. Children born after Sept. 29, 1942, also :are not counted as dependents for draft purposes.

tially all local boards in the state have reported that the supply of available single men will be ex-

that national headquarters has been informed that the induction of married men is scheduled for December. In Marion county, a number of local boards have had to call married men for several months now. Others that had a larger supply of single men have now practically exhausted that reservoir and they are now beginning to call married men.

Key Men Not Affected

Some single men who are key workers in essential industries will not be inducted at the present time, Col. Hitchcock explained, as trained replacements for them cannot be found immediately. However, these men will be called as soon as they can be replaced, he said. He also reminded registrants that there no longer is any difference between a man with a working wife and g man with a dependent wife. Monetary allowances made available by the government will provide for the fundamental needs of such dependents except in a small number of grave cases, he said.

P.). —Work will begin immediately on a plant to build 1200 large plywood cargo planes for the armed ferces, Andrew Jackson Higgins Sr. said today, The New Orleans boat builder, who returned from Washington yesterday, said that contracts have been signed for the $30,000,000 plant where $180,000,000 worth of the huge planes will be constructed. Higgins said the plant will be &e

DR. WM. WISHARD T0 PRESENT JURASZ

Dr. William Wishard Jr. will introduce Dr. Anthony Jurasz when the distinguished Polish surgeon speaks here tomorrow night at the American United Life Insurance Co. auditorium, 30 W. Fall Creek pky. Dr. Jurasz, who is director of the Paderewski Memorial hospital in Edinburgh, Scotland, arrived in New York by clipper last week-end and will come here tonight. His talk at 8:15 o'clock is being sponsored by the Indiana Committee for Victory and the Paderewski Memorial fund. There will be no charge and no solicitations.

HITS SOUTH CAROLINA FOR LABOR STAND

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10 (U. P.) — War Manpower Chief Paul V. McNutt indicated yesterday that he felt the State of South Carolina has adopted an illegal position in opposing federal recruiting of workers there. He told a press conference, however, that he hoped the dispute could be settled without legal action. The workers are needed badly to help harvest the Florida vegetable crop, he said. McNutt reiterated previous assertions that the manpower program is being handicapped by voluntary enlistments in the armed forces, but he said WMC is powerless to act.

QUOTAS TO APPLY TO ’42-’44 COTTON CROP

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10 (U. P.). —Secretary of Agriculture Claude R. Wickard announced today that marketing quotas will apply to the 1943-44 cotton crop if approved by a two-thirds vote of cotton growers in a referendum Dec. 12. Wickard said quotas are important during wartirne to prevent overexpansion ‘6f acreage which would cause insufficient production of other badly needed crops. The United States already has a two-year supply of cotton on hand, but Wickard said there is not enough of long staple grades needed in the manufacture of many military items.

Axis Prisoners

Laud U. S. Coup

WITH THE BRITISH EIGHTH ARMY ADVANCING ON SIDI BARRANI, Nov. 9 (U.P) (Delayed).—A United Press correspondent told some German and Italian prisoners today that Amer ican forces had landed in French North “Africa. : Most of thelr faces brightened. #Good!” one said. “Perhaps the war will soon be over. We never. wanted to fight the English and Americans. I hope they understand that and send us back to our wives and children.” Another waved at two big Amer-ican-made Gen. Sherman tanks rolling down the road, slapped his forehead for emphasis and said: “We can’t cope with this sort of thing, and now the Americans have landed in North Africa. Ach!”

CENTER INSIDE RATE $2.82 1-2

Two Cents Slashed From Indianapolis Civil Levy By State Board.

The property tax rate for Center township in Indianapolis next year will be $2.82%2 on each $100 of taxables,

The state tax board yesterday slashed. 2 cents from the Indianapolis civil city rate, reducing it from $129 to $1.27. Earlier the state board had cut % cent from the county general fund rate, These two reductions brought the total tax rate for the part of Center township inside Indianapolis from $2.85, the amount approved by the county tax adjustment board, down to $2.82%. No change was made by the state board in the Indianapolis school city tax rate which is 89 cents on each $100 of taxables.

See $100,000 Tax Drop

The cut in the civil city rate was made in estimated expenditures. It was estimated that it would reduce total taxes collected by $100,000. The. following over-all tax rates were fixed by the state board for Indianapolis: Washington township, $2.7205, reduced from $2,7456; Wayne township, $2.84%, reduced from $2.87, and Warren to Dp, $2.72, reduced from $2.7476. In commenting on the action, Henry Murray, board chairman, said that “we feel that the Indianapolis budgets were well prepared this year and no-doubt much considerations has been given to the lowering of tax rates. The reduction was

being available concerning expenditures on money-up to the present time which could not be foreseen at the time the budget was prepared.”

Harry Miesse Satisfied

Harry Miesse, secretary of the Indiana taxpayers’ association, who appealed the tax rates to the state board, said that he had expected larger cuts but that “we ought to be satisfied with what we, got.” C. R. Benjamin, an official of the Indiana Farm Bureau co-operative and the Indianapolis Taxpayers’ association, paid tribute to the state board’s action. “I wish to commend,” he said, the members of the Indiana. tax board on their judgment in reaching a conclusion that the civil city rate could be reduced and bring . further relief to the taxpayers.” The state board allowed the 1cent flood control rate to stand, although taxpayer groups protested this levy.
