STATE 60P NOW ENJOYS CHICKEN
Three Years ‘Ago It Was Milk and Crackers, but
Times Change.
By EARL RICHERT
. It was only three years ago that local Republicans held a banquet at which only milk and erackers were served. The meal was symbolic of the political standing of the party. But times have changed. Last night, local Republican’ veterans held another banquet, this time to celebrate the party's most smashing victory at the polls in 20 years. This time the dishes were heaped with that favorite Republicdn delicacy, fried chicken, and even the pieces of pumpkin pie were about the size you would get at home. And, in ‘sharp contrast to that milk-and-cracker meal which only a handful of people attended, so many Republicans turned up at the - Columbia club last night that tables not only had to be set up in the lobby and adjoining the main dining room but money also had to be refunded on 100 or so tickets. The ducats cost $2 apiece.
Practically every Republican of
prominence in the state was there. And fhe introduction of party notables, including congressmen, state officials and party leaders consumed nearly two hours. a lot of introductions to consume that much time.) = |
Colmery Chief Spedker Almost to a man, those that spoke expressed the opinion that the Republican party in Indiana now is faced with a great responsibility to the people and must assume its responsibility if success is to be hoped for in 1944. Harry W. Colmery of Topeka, Kas. past national commandér of the American legion, was the principal speaker, ; He criticized the handling of the war effort by the national admin{stration—from President Roosevelt on down—and said that the Republican part. ...ust work out a program of its own. Warns of Complacence He told the Republicans that a great deal of the future success of the party depended upon the new national chairman who is to be named in St. Louis | early next month. = State Chairman Ralph Gates told _ the party members that he was getting ready for the 1944 election @nd warned against any feeling of complacence. And while everyone expressed happiness over the results of the election, only one speaker, a woman, went so far in her exhilaration as to say that the Reptiblicans should be , singing, “we've got spurs: that Jingle, jangle, jingle.”
HINT 7,500,000 ARMY CAN TIP THE SCALES
NEW YORK, Nov. 20 (U. P.).— Undersecretary of War Robert P. Patterson said last night that military experts believed an American army of 7,500,000 would tip the scales in ‘the allied favor. Germany and. her satellites have raised an army. of 14,000,000 men; the Japanese, 3.000,000 men, he said. Russia and Britain © have much smaller armies, and the total of United States soldiers presently * under arms, in proportion to popuation, was less than its major allies. In planning an army of that size, shipping had been considered, he, said, and the United States expects to have 1,000,000 men abroad by the end of this year.

PREDICTS DRIVE THROUGH ITALY
| Jan Valtin Says Allies Must Invade Germany to Win War. Times Special BLOOMINGTON, Nov. 20.—The nearest thing to a defeat Germany has suffered thus far in the war-is what has taken ‘place in Africa during the last two weeks, Jan Valtin, author of the best seller, “Out of the Night,” declared here last night. He spoke at the annual Matrix Table banquet of Theta Sigma Phi, journalistic = sorority - at Indiana university. “There will be no crumbling of German morale now and there will not be until Germany loses a degi*~ sive ‘battle,” Mr. Valtin said. adding “and up to the present time this] has not happened.” He said that thie Nazis have only lost about one-thirtieth of the territory they gained from Russia and he warned that If Germany gets the oil of Russia, she ¢dn fight on indefinitely. “And if she doesn’t,” he said, “the days of Germany taking the offensive are over.” Mr. Valtin said there would not be a revolution .in Germany because the anti-Nazis there have nb leadership and they will not organize as long as they are terrorized.
Must Beat Germans
He emphasized that in order to win the war, there must be a com-
plete invasion of Germany. He predicted that the first invasion] of Europe would come through | Italy, pointing out that Italy is] more of a liability to the united | nations than to Germany. “The war will end with the defeat
of Germany and not with the de- (ty, was, chairman of the resolutions
feat of Japan,” Mr. Valtin declared. | “The Nazis will fight to the bitter] end as they know if Germany is defeated, there won't he a satare | yard on which they could ie, In|

the first world war, the only thing
the leaders lost was their pride— they still had their wealth but this would not be true of the Nazi | leaders.”

FARMERS ASK RATION DELAY
‘Urge 90-Day Postponement
For Further Study of Gasoline Problem.
‘he Indiana Farm’ Bureau, Inc.,
today sought postponement of gaso-
line rationing “until at least a 90day study by a committee representative of industry, petroleum and agriculture can be made.” The bureau made the recommendation in a resolution approved unanimously by delegates to the 24th aifnual convention of the organization which closed yesterday at the Muraf theater. A resolution opposing the drafting of essential Indiana farm workers aiso was adopted. The state bureau rapped the government’s policy of hiring 200,000 employees to handle the gas rationing program, saying that “farmors are doing their own gasoline rationing voluntarily” and that they don’t need or want “an. army of 200,000°gévernment employees watching us.” Resolutions Adopted Bureau members agreed that those hired to direct gas rationing would do better on an assembly line or in the fields. In ‘addition, the resolution pointed out, taxpayers would be saved millions of dollars. In closing .the convention, members also adopted these resolutions: (1) Freezing of state surplus funds for use during the reconstruction period after the war; (2)
Utilization of farm crops in the,
manufacture of synthetic rubber; (3) Enacting legislation to pay public school teachers minimum salaries; (4 hposing reassessment of real est oh 1943; (5) Preven= tion through legislation of any diversion from the state highway fund; (6) Rating all limestone workers as engaged in vital war industries, and (7) Providing farmers rand dairymen repair parts for equipment and new equipment if and when needed.
Officers Are Elected In electing officers, the state bureau renamed Larry Brandon first vice president and Mrs. Lillie D. Scott as second vice president for a two-year term. Hassil Schenck, president of the farm bureau, remains in office until November, 1943. The organization named Mr. Schenck, Mrs. Brandon and Mrs. Scott as farm bureau delegates to the American Farm Bureau Federation convention. Alternates named were Arthur Arnott, Rensselaer, Addison Drake; Fairbanks, and Mrs. Russell Cushman, Greenfield. "Fred Suhree, Bartholomew coun-

.Hobart Creighton (left), candidate for speaker of the house, is a
Republican who still has some worrying to do.
But not so Secretary
of State-elect Rue Alexander (center), and Mrs. Agnes Todd, Marion
county vice chairman.
BY EARL RICHERT
® EVERYONE INTERESTED in Indiana politics has been wondering why G. O. P. State Chairman Ralph Gates has so emphatically taken himself out of the national chairmanship picture. It isn’t often a politician will turn down a chance for good national publicity, even if he feels he hasn't a chance to be elected. But, from a strictly party standpoint, Mr. Gates has a good reason
for his action and here it is: The Republican chairman, who knows his party very well, realizes that down under the surface are two great masses of party members, the Willkieites and the antiillkieites. The antis hate Mr. Willkie almost as much as they do President Roosevelt and the pros think he is the only hope of the Republican party. And- the state chairman ids it wouldn't take much to have these two groups at each other's throat and the result would be that the Republican party in Indiana, which now has very good prospects for 1944, would be hopelessly torn asunder. Such a fight could well start, he realizes, if he should become a candidate for national chairman. The Willkie forces would demand that he come into their camp ahd the antis would insist that he be against. And the fight would be on. ” n ”
Seeks Cash for Workers
MR. GATES INFORMED members of the Republican state committee at its meeting here yesterday that he already is forming ‘plans for 1944. One of the plans is to have 500 men in Indiana contribute $10 a month which will be used for the employment of highly trained party workers. These workers will be sent into such Democratic strongholds as Lake county and kept there on full-time employment until the next election. #
