DELAY VOTING §

r Boo. FDR's. Nominations

“In Move to Keep Bill “From Senate Floor.,

: WASHINGTON, Nov. 17 (U. P).

—Southern Democrats filibustering| &3 |

against anti-poll tax legislation to- 3

day temporarily blocked su of President Roosoevelt’s batch of nominations in a new

on

maneuver to prevent the bill from =

reaching the senate floor.

Just as the senate was meeting

for the fourth successive attempt to call up a bill by Senator Claude Pepper (D. Fla.) abolishing state poll taxes as a requirement for voting in federal elections, the president’s messenger stepped inside the door to deliver the day’s nominations. Normally the senate receives such amendments at once and sends them to the committee. Senator Richard B. Russell (D. Ga.), however, demanded the reading of the journal of yesterday's proceedings. This is required by the rules as the first order of business, but usually is dispensed with by unanimous consent. ‘

‘Murray Opposes Bloc Rule ‘Resumption of the battle of de-

( laying maneuvers followed distribu-

tion among members of a letter from President Philip Murray of the Congress of Industrial Organizations in which Murray said “the nation stands aghast and enraged at the tactics of a small bloc in the senate which ' is seeking to frustrate .majority rule in this nation.” , Senator Russell's point about reading the| journal was upheld and he immediately demanded a quorum he to determine whether a ma-

~ jority of the senate was present.

The president's messenger, carrying -his brown manila envelop sealed with the great seal of the United States, went over to a bench in the

: rear of the chamber and sat down.

!

Only 44 Respond

Only 44 senators answered the roll call—five short of a quorum of 49—and t senate’s bell system rang twice, the signal for absent senators to hurry from their offices to the floor. Demoenatie Leader Barkley of

Alben W.

the noon convocation nour, sighed: “Every day brings new problems.” Yesterday the opposition technique was to force consideration of calendar bills. In a letter to all members of the senate, Murray said elimination of poll tax prerequisites to voting ‘in federal elections would be “a step which this nation must take if our national morale and our democratic structure are to stand firm against the attacks of our axis enemies.”

AUDITOR FOR ADAMS COUNTY TO BE NAMED

DECATUR, Ind, Nov, 17 (U. P.). —A. successor to Victor H. Eicher, convicted Adams county. auditor who was sentenced to 2-to-21 years in the state prison at Michigan City, will be named tomorrow by the board of county commissioners. Eicher pleaded guilty Friday in Adams county circiut court to a charge of embezzlement of public funds. He submitted his resignation Saturday and it was forwarded to Governor Schricker, the commissioners said. The ex-official was taken to Michigan City yesterday by Sheriff Ed P. Miller to begin serving the sentenced imposed by Judge J. Fred Fruchte. Eicher also was fined $500 and disfranchised for three

: years.

SOUND FINANCING OF OLDER HOMES URGED

Maintenance of a sound financing system for older home properties has become increasingly important 4 under wartime conditions, R. Earl Peters, state director of the federal housing administration, said at a conference of the Indiana Title association today at the Hotel Lincoln. Mr. Peters pointed out that homes already existing represent the only supply of housing available for the duration of the war since new home construction has been curtailed by material shortages and war housing is necessarily reserved for the most essential war workers.

NORTHEASTERN AREA ANNEXED

Council Takes First Step To Develop Greater Metropolis.

City council has passed an ordinance annexing to the city a northeastern suburban area as the first step in development of a greater Indianapolis metropolitan district. The area, annexed without opposition, embraces all property on bath sides of Primrose and Rosslyn aves. from 52d to 54th sts. ‘Most of -the 91 homes in the area were built within the ing two or three years. The annexation was spuisored by the Indianapalis Chamber of Commerce and the city plan commission. Carl Dortch, appearing before the council in behalf of the Chamber of Commerce, said the annexation is part of the chamber’s long-range program “to assure an orderly ‘development .of the city. »

Getting City Services

Sponsors-of the annexation measure pointed out that residents of the area already were receiving all the benefits of city services and protection. The 91 homes for many months have been serviced with city sewers, electricity, water mains and gas. “The city is.maintaining the sewers and paying rental on the water mains, so the area should be annexed to the city,” Mr. Dortch said. ‘The annexation will more than double the taxes for residents in the area as they will pay city taxes i stead of Washington township Fo 4 side) rates. However, the increased taxes will not be payable until 1944. Permit Coal Storage The council passed another ordinance, permitting .owners of apartment buildings to store their winter's coal supply on lawns adjacent to the buildings for the duration of the war only. .~

release trucks for constant delivery of short orders of coal to individual homes.. An ordinance prohibiting parking on the east side of Northwestern ave., from 18th to 21st sts., and on

Naval Communique No. 194

South Pacific (All dates east longitude): 1. The following resume of the recent events in the Solomons islands area is based upon preliminary reports of the|B battle area and is necessarily incomplete.

2. Air reconnaissance during the early|U. S.

days of this month revealed a heavy concentration of Japanese JranspoRts. cargo ships and combatant units of the enemy fleet in the New Britain-northwestern SoloMons region. An attempt by the enemy apture our positions in Ythe G GuadaM ana lagi area of the southeastern Solomons was indicated and on Nov. 10 it became evident that the expedition was being launched in force. 3. Japanese naval forces approached the southeastern Solomons from the north as other detachments, including many transports, moved southeastward toward Guadalcanal from Rabaul and Buin, where expeditionary forces had beén assembling. 4. Gen. MacArthur's aircraft were of great assistance to our naval forces, both before and during the naval actions. Army bombers made repeated successful attacks on the units of the Japanese invasion fleet at Rabaul and at Buin, (These attacks were announced by united nations headquarters in Australia). - The spearhead of the Japanese attack was a force composed of two battleships of the Kongo class and a number of other vessels believed to have been two heavy cruisers, four light cruisers and ut 10 destroyers. is unit reached the Guadalcanal area shortly after midnight on the morning of Nov. 13, intending to bombard our shore positions to a large scale landing from a large group .of transports which had been observed in the Buin-Shortland area. This Japanese bombardment force was formed - in \ three groups. As they ‘approached the bombardment area they were engaged by units of our .fleet and the ensuing battle was fought at close range. It was during this SAgagement that Rear Admiral Daniel J. Callaghan, U. 8S. N,, was killed in acion. During this ious night

the and ‘during the "latter part of the “patile two ‘of the three Japanese groups were firing at each other. Shortly thereafter the enemy fire ceased and the Japanese withdrew from the battle and retired to the northward. 6. During the day of Nov. 13, U. S. aircraft made continuous attacks on damaged Japanese ships which remained in the area. A During the late afternoon a large formation of at least 12 enemy transports, - under ‘heavy naval escort, headed toward : Guadalcanal from the Bougainville area. As:a preliminary to the proposed landing an enemy surface force bombarded our positions at Guadalcanal, it “was struck heavily by our air forces and. st” least eight of the transports wers¥sunk. . The remaining rans. ports continued toward Guadalcanal. 9. During the night of Nov. 14- 15, U. S. naval surface forces again engaged Japanese surface: units in the Guadalcanal area. -Details of this engagement have not yet been received. 8. On the morning of Nov. 15, four enemy cargo transports were found beached at Tassafaronga, about seven and a half miles ‘west “of our positions on Guadalcanal. These transports were attacked by air, ‘artillery and naval gunfire and were SeSioye On the morning of Nov. 15, our patroi aircraft reported the Japanese forces withdrawing to the northward, and no reports of any further action’ have been

received. 16. During the engagements described above the Japanese suffered the following losses and damage: (A) One battleship sunk. (B) Three heavy cruisers sunk. (C) Two light cruisers sunk. (D) Five destroyers sunk. (E) Eight transports sunk. (F) One battleship ced, (G) Six destroyers damaged. (H) Four cargo Helton destroyed. 11. Two light cruisers and six destroyers are the only U. 8. naval vessels reported sunk in the actions which were fought on ov. 13, 14 and 15. The next of kin of casualties. will be notified by telegram immediately upon receipt of information.

Special Allied Communique

(Issued -Nov, 15—Delayed) North Africa: Attacks by axis bombing and torpedo carrying aircraft against our sea-borne forces in the Mediterranean on the days subsequent to the igs] landing in north Africa have been of Varying intensity but the undaunted performance of the fighters of the British fleet air arm, the United States army air force, the royal air force and. anti-aircraft ners of warships and merchant vessels have made these sorties by the axis air forces costly adventures. “Intensive attacks by concentrations of axis U-boats inside and outside the Mediterranean also have been carried out but have failed to hinder the progress of the operation. The enemy has sustained severe losses in these attacks.’ (The special communique described an operation’ of gigantic scale, involving a mile journey through submarineinfested seas in which United States fleet direct from the ‘United States attacked Casablanca on the Atlantic and two British fleets attacked Oran ‘and Algiers on the Mediterranean.) “Never before in history have sea-borne amphibious operations been launched. so far from their points of departure without secondary advance’ bases.

Cunningham _ in Charge Admiral gir Andrew Cunningham, royal navy, had .charge of the entire naval operation, the communique ‘said. (The communique said that the preliminary planning for the expedition had been carried out in Great Britain by Admiral. Sir . Bertram ' Ramsey, pending inghem's ; artival from his assignmen at. Washingto The basic nk performed by Admiral

Ramsey contributed in great .measure to {the excellent timing and smooth running

of the convoy, the movements of which were of unprecedented complexity. (The communique credited Rear Admiral H. Bieri, liaison officer for the United Sates navy, and cap, Jerauld Wright, N., with part of the work.)

“The navy’s responsibility consisted of ensuring the safe and timely arrival of a large expeditionary force comprising many ships varying in tonnage and speeds and ranging from liners and trawlers, which had to be moved across more than 3000 miles of submarine infested waters, the communique said. ‘The expedition, was divided into three main forces. One was directed at French Morocco, with Casablanca as the center; this was composed of United States ships directe@y by Rear Admiral H. K. Hewitt and was prepared and sailed direct from the United States. The other two forces were aimed at Alich with Algiers and Oran as the focal ints. These were commanded hy Rear Admiral Sir Harold M. Burrough and Commodore Thomas H. Troubridge, royal navy.

Arrivals Carefully Timed

The convoys engaged in the Agesian operatiofis .were routed ass through the Straits of Gibraltar’ Bon mutual interference. Their arrivals were timed so that the assauit t{roops were landed simultaneously on the beaches at 1 a. m. Nov. 8, 1942, The diverting of’ different groups ‘of assault ships to their striking points and. the taking up of accurate positions close inshore in darkness called for a “high standard of navigation and ship handling on the part of the merchant navy masters. The vital e¢lement of surprise necessitated wireless silence and a minimum of visual signaling. * Every unit arrived and disembarked its assault troops punctually efeept for one ship which was damaged by a torpedo

sed | put which subsequently reached harbor.

This was the only casualty prior to the landings. Cover against the powerful axis surface forces in the Mediterranean was provided by a force of British capital ships and eircraft carriers. This force was commanded by Vice Admiral Sir Neville Syfret, with Rear Admiral Arthur K. St. G. Lister in command of the aircraft carriers. A force of United States Sapial ships Sines Rear Admiral Robert Giffen, U. 8S. N., actetl as covering i, for the Casablanca operations against Vichy or axis interference in the Atlantic. “A naval air force under Rear Admiral BE. D. McWhorter, U. S. N., supported the operations. - Allied submarines opSrated successfully ‘arid unremittingly both in the Mediterranean and the Atlantic.”

“TASKS IN WAR

State Bureau Meets Here| To Study Machine and . Labor Problems.

When members of the Indiana Farm bureau convene here fomorrow, they will devote much of their discussion to how to “keep ’em eat-

They face three major problems

1. The farm labor shortage. 2. A lack of machinery. 3. The gas and rubber shortage. Discussion at sessions through Thursday afternoon will be centered about the farmer’s confribution in winning the war but adjustments necessary because of these three wartime shortages will be uppermost in their minds.

~ They're Short of Help

Ordinarily the convention draws about 6000 to 7000 farm folk, but this year, bureau leaders aren’t making any predictions. It’s the transportation question, of course. Usually sessions are held at Tomlinson hall but the conference was moved to the Murat theater this year when leaders anticipated the attendance would be less. Part of this may be attributed, too, to the labor situation. There just aren’t “hands” to be left on the farm while the farm owner comes to the convention: And about this question of the farm labor shortage, Edmund C. | Foust, editor*of the Hoosier Farmer, says it “acute.”

Must Produce More

Selective service, he points out, has drawn heavily on the young farm labor, just as it has in industry. High wages in industry have drawn some. “Those that are on the farm today are there because they like to farm and haven't been attracted by high wages,” he adds. “Many have big investments as well.” It’s these people that are faced with producing 10 per cent more in agricultural produce next year than they did in 1942. The Farm bureau members will discuss ways and means during the convention. Some of them already have just “whittled down to their size.” They put in what they know they can cultivate and reduce their work to the place where they know they can handle it.

Shy of Novice Labor

Many of them, Mr. Foust admits, don’t want inexperienced labor brought in, even if they can get it. The reason is rather abvious. They have big investments in machinery which they feel they cannot risk in the hands of amateurs. As for the matter of machinery, the farmers must conserve it as best they know how. It’s necessary to their work and replacements are hard to get now that they are allowed only 20 per cent of the amount of machinery they could buy in 1940. As for the rubber and gas suas tion, many of the farmers, Mr. Foust points out, depend on their automobiles in carrying on their business—sometimes hauling feed, eggs, milk, etc, in them because they don’t have trucks. Without them, they will be handicapped.

Consider Rubber Problem There is another phase of the rubber situation in which the farm-

er is interested. H, F. Willkie, vice president of Joseph E. Seagram &

HINTS HOUSE REVOLT ON GAS RATIONING

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17 (U. P.). —The Oklahoma house delegation today led a congressional revolt against nation-wide gasoline rationing and claimed the support of at

least 200 representatives for a resolution to postpone coast-to-coast rationing—now due on Dec. 1—for 90 days. Representative Wickersham (D. Okla.), sponsor of the move, claimed that the rationing program would “ruin the economy of the West and ultimately hamper the war effort.” He had two resolutions dealing with the rationing program before the house—one to. postpone the Dec. 1 deadline for 2 days and one to

Sons, Inc, will describe it in a talk on “Rubber from the Farm” ‘Wednesday afternoon. : Next year, plants will be making 300,000 tons, or about a third, of our synthetic rubber from agricultural products, Mr. Foust points out. “There is enough butadiene in one bushel of wheat or corn to make three-fourths of an auto tire.” He added that it was probable that some of the agricultural products, from which the rubber will be made, may be bought right here in Indiana. (The farm interests have been battling the petroleum interests for months over which one would supply the raw materials for synthetic rubber.) Governor Schricker is scheduled to speak at tomorrow morning’s session. Also on the afternoon program with Mr. Willkie will be Miss Jeannette Chen of Canton, China, a student at North Manchester college, and I. H. Hull, manager of the Indiana Farm Bureau COUPEE

BY EARL RICHERT

IT'S SOMETHING FOR THE BOOKS when the chairman of a post-election

successful political party invites

newspapermen into

meetings at which patronage and party finances are discussed. But that’s the way G. O. P, County Chairman Henry E. Ostrom is

starting out.

Mr. Ostiom calleq mesting of all the successiul G. ©. P. eandl-

dates yesterday and invited newspapermen to attend. Here are some of the interesting things that came out: The county Republicans had a hard time raising money and they didn’t get the money needed for election day expenses until the day before. They got $15,000 on the day before election, a lot of it not until late that night. Mr. Ostrom himself gave $1500 and Joseph J. Daniels, 11th district chairman, a like amount. Altogether, the county G. O. P. spent $53,000 on the election, counting the costs of the two polls and payment of $3 a day to election-day workers. .® 8 2

Wolff to Handle Bonds

IN ANSWER to a question as to how the lucrative business of writing bonds on officials and their employees would be handled, Mr. Ostrom said that it would all go through Herman Wolff, local insurance man and former G. O. P. candidate for mayor. Mr. Wolff is to distribute the business to the “deserving” parties. “I am sure,” Mr. Ostrom said, “that Mr. Wolff is a big enough man to distribute it around properly.” The county chairman also pointed out to the elected officials that some system should he devised to raise funds to keep a party headquarters going. Someone jokingly suggested a two per cent club and there was a chorus of boos. ; Mr. Ostrom told them that it was something to keep thinking about. : Edwin K. Steers, party treasurer, estimated that it would take around $300 a month to keep a small headquarters going and -to pay some stenographers. Another headquarters is to be opened soon south of the postoffice on Ohio st., close to the present eatgvar. ters. ® ”

About Those yobs

AS FOR PATRONAGE, Mr. Ostrom made it clear again that all patronage would be handled through the county organization. He said, nowever, that the officials would be consulted on the appointees for their offices. Application forms for jobs are now being sent to precinct and ward chairmen. On these cards, the job applicant must pledge his loyalty to the party. There is also a sizeable space for indorsements. It was agreed that the outlying townships which gave the Republicans 4000 of their 11,000-vote majority should be given great consideration for jobs. 8 ® »

Ban cret Meetings

THE COUNTY CHAIRMAN asked the elected officials not to hold meetings in secret. “Remember,” he said, “we are doing the public’s business.” . He pointed out that the success of the 1944 campaign would depend to a great deal on the manner in which they conducted their offices. “The people expect a lot from he said. “I do not believe we be in power any longer than we, can give the people good government.” In a brief talk, Mr. Steers urged

“the elected officials, particularly

the judges, to get to work on time and stay there until time to go home, Mayor-elect Robert H. Tyndall, who was unable to be present,sent a message stating that “everyone who worked for my candidacy and the success of the Republican party will be diven equal consideration in the matter of patronage.” ;

ASSEMBLY PLANS

Democratic legislators, who because of their small number will have very little influence in‘ the coming session of the legislature, met here today for a pre-session conference. Senator Walter Vermillion of Anderson was scheduled to be named minority leader in the upper house which will have a 38-to-12 G. O. P. majority. The house minority leader was expected to be chosen from these three representatives, Robert H. Heller of Decatur, Roy W. Darneal of New Albany and Frank J. O'Rourke of Hammond. The Republican majority in the house-will be 82 to 18. Plans were made at the meeting to draft bills for introduction which will cover the various points of the Democratic platform adopted at the state convention last summer. Both State Chairman Fred Bays and Governor Schricker addressed the group.
