BY EARL RICHERT
DURING THE LAST SESSION of the legislature, the Republican majority had a battery of legal talent—somewhat cynically termed then as “the seven best lawyers in Indiana” to advise and guide them
on legislation.
Then, "the attorney general's office was in the hands of George
Beamer, an appointee of the governor.
shoe will be on the other foot. This time the attorney general's office will be under the direction of Republican James Emmert and it will be the Democrats who will have to get their own counsel. Democratic party leaders have
no intention of depending upon |
Mr. Emmert for advice on the le-
top-heavy Republican majority in the legislature.
Governor Schricker says he feels ! that he will have to have some | Democratic lawyer to aid him in | studying the legislation that will |
come to his desk. He says the Democrats will be fortunate if they can retain “one good lawyer.” He pointed out, however, that if one is retained he will not be paid in any manner from state funds. In Democratic circles, it is believed that the retiring attorney general, Mr. Beamer, will be the
“man selected to serve as legal ad-
visor to the governor during the 60-day session. However, it is possible that a volunteer committee of Democratic lawyers may be formed to
handle the job. -~ 8 2 td
Robbins Loses Out
A TYPICAL Political Story: Last summer, Russell Robbins, youthful Wayne county clerk, was a candidate for the Republican nomination for clerk of the supreme and appellate courts . . . a $5000 a year job. He was well liked in the party and had a good chance of getting it. But party bosses decided they needed a labor man on the ticket so they handed the nomination to Thomas C. Williams, Jeffersonville barber. Mr. Robbins accepted the decision and did. not permit his name to go before the convention. Then he was named head of the G. O. P. speakers’ bureau, one of the toughest jobs in the party, and all during the campaign he worked like a -trooper. Somehow, according to reliable information, he was led to believe that if the party were victorious he would be given the $6000-a-year job now held by R. Lowell McDaniel as head of the auto license division. But after the election was over, it turned up that no one in the G. O. P. high command had any

ing a postmortem in the offices of Superior Court Judge Russell Ryan. About the only thing the Democrats decided upon was that the candidates should give a dinner in appreciation of the services rendered by the party workers. Robert Allison, Al Feeney, Robert Kirby, David Lewis and Wilfred Bradshaw were named as members of a committee to make arrangements for the dinner. One veteran Democratic official remarked that he believed that it was now time for the local Demo-
| crats who had “worn themselves
out” either holding office or ruhning for office to get out of the picture and turn the party over to new hands.

Even ‘in time of peace, the government issues orders. In peace they may be debated. In war they must be obeyed. “We cannot run a war on reso-

When you consider the horrors that the peoples of Europe suffer as their contribution to our victory, anything that has been asked of us is trivial.

TO TRUANCY CASES
Juvenile court authorities today were investigating reports that an
.| Indianapolis doctor was signing ab-
sentee certificates for school pupils at a dollar a head. An investigation was ordered by Judge Wilfred Bradshaw following a hearing of a case of a 14-year-old boy who had been absent from school every day but four this year.
Evidence showed that the boy
,brecught to school a doctor's certifi-
cate. purporting to show that he had a chronic disease which required his absence from school. “Examination by a court physician revealed the boy to be in good health,” Judge Bradshaw said. Probation officers investigating about 40 other truancy cases told Judge Bradshaw that all their excuse cards bore the signature of the same doctor.
