This was one of the bills being worked on today by Democratic legislators who met here for a pre-session caucus.
being drafted were party plat-: form measures and all of them are to be ready for introduction when the session opens Thursday. Mr. Bays is hopeful that the measure to keep the polls open an extra two hours, until 8 p. m,, will receive support from Republicans. He says that after the war is over this will still be a highly industrial state with many plants working shifts. The extension of the voting deadline from 6 p. m. to 8 p. m. would, he thinks, give many more persons and opportunity to vote and would eliminate the usual 6 p. m. voting rush. However, it is doubtful that this measure will receive Republican support. G. O. P. State Chairman Ralph Gates opposed the proposal when it was made last fall on the grounds that it would be illegal, pointing out that the present law specifically provided for closing the polls at 6 p. m. And it
would be for a change in the present law. : The G. O. P. viewpoint is that an extension of the voting hours would work to the advantage of the Democrats than to themselves since most of the workers who would be benefitted are regarded as Democrats. - 2 =

A LOCAL OPTION bill definitely will be sponsored in the coming session of the legislature by dry forces, according to L. E. York, superintendent of the AntiSaloon league. He says it has. not yet been de- - termined what type of bill will be pushed, but he thinks it will be one providing for township local option. - The Anti-Saloon league superintendent declines to predict
proposal will receive, knowing tull well that the top leaders in both parties: are against any material change in the present liquor law. “But,” he says, “if the legislators follow the sentiments of the folks back home, a local option: law should be passed.” ’ Mr. York points out that 36 states have some sort of local option laws and two states are still bone dry, leaving 10 with what he -terms lack of protection for their citizens. Indiana is one of these. , There are a t number of drys in the top vy G. O.

TWO COUNTY JURY PANELS CANCELED
Two jury pan) 1s containing 200 names from which grand jury and petit juries were to be selected were canceled today by Judge W. D. Bain of criminal court on the ground that they were illegally drawn. When Judge Bain appeared on the bench to consider selection of a new grand. jury, Prosecutor Sherwood Blue filed a petition asking that the panels he canceled because they were draw by only one jury commissioner. Ii was revealed that one commission¢r, M. Bert Thurman, was ill and that the panels were drawn in his absence by a second commissioner, Alex Vonneguv. Judge Bain sustained the contention of Prosecutcr Blue that all indictments and acts of the grand jury drawn fron| that panel might

“I feel very profoundly that the main excuse for this committee’s existence at the present time is that it may contribute to the maximum} possible extent to the stiffening of the resistance of the American people to open or covert pro-axis propaganda and to the building of a vigorous and unified Democratic sentiment in the United States” Rep.

“There has been no opportunity for discussion or amendment of the report or for members to do any work on it. No meeting has been held for its consideration.” “Hundreds of federal employees who were on the committee's list are still in the government service even though they belong to organizations which the attorney general himself has held to be subversive,” the report said. Rep. Voorhis said the report was inaccurate in stating that membership lists: of alleged subversive groups had been obtained by subpena and identified by officials of organizations’ involved. In one instance the list was “nothing miore nor less than a ‘mailing lst,” ” he said. 2
STRIKE CALLED AT STUDEBAKER PLANT
SOUTH BEND, Ind, Jan. 4 (U. P.)—An undetermined number of skilled and non-production war workers in the aviation division of the Studebaker Corp. went on strike early today. Officials said production was not halted and that only a “few” were on strike. Spokesmen for Local No. 5 of the United Automobile Workers of America, said about 850 members were on strike. Melvin Smith, spokesman for the strikers, said it resulted from union refusal to support workers’ demands for wage adjustments. Representatives claimed that skilled workers are receiving as much as 40 cents an “hour under unskilled ‘| workers.
