“It is the mass of people who are in a lethargy. We first noted a decline when the allies invaded Africa. Too many people thought that success and victory were within reach. That idea of early victory must be controlled. “Then, too, gas restrictions cut off our supply of donors. Mary doesn't pick up Beth and Jane any more. They come by bus and it isn’t conducive to mass donations.

“Most people don’t realize that not an ounce of this blood stays here. That blood is for our fighting soldiers. A soldier needing blood in this country is given a straight transfusion. “On the battlefields of Australia and Africa the blood donated by the - people back home has proven invaluable . . . many a man’s life has been saved.” Among the topics to be discussed are the organization, promotion and recruiting for the campaign.

O'ROURKE BILL HITS

A bill abolishing the recognition of common law marriages was introduced yesterday in the house by Rep. Frank J. O'Rourke (D. Hammond). The measure is dotigned to prevent rackets arising from the recognition of such marriages and to eliminate abuses by persons who take advantage of the fact that common law’ marriages give them certain privileges and. rights enjoyed by those who are legally married, A said. The gtcurrence of a common law wife ¢laiming her “spouse’s” death benefits” while a destitute mother is left penniless is a'common one. The measure would also legitimize all children born of such marriages providing that a legal marriage of the parents takes place.

Chicago dictate our policy of local government? We're satisfied with our present form of government, while the city manager plan has proved a failure.” Rep. Charles Ehlers ‘(R. Indianapolis) reminded the Indianapolis delegation that Indianapolis voted overwhelmingly for the city manager form of government several years ago. : The Indianapolis delegation voted unanimously in favor of keeping the resolution alive, - The committee held a hearing yesterday afternoon with the civic groups out in force. They had their say, and the mayors arrived in time for the rebuttal, which was all they needed. The hearing lasted an hour and a half, after which the room was cleared of all but committee mempers. The committee met for 15 minutes and voted 7 to 6 for indefinite postponement.’

“Boys Were Afraid”

As one member put it: “The boys were afraid of their mayors.” Voting for indefinite postponement of the amendment were Reps. Bert Summerland (R. Wabash), Max Murray (R. Stroh), Carl Smith (R. Portland), Mr. Lowry, Beechey| Conrad (R. Petersburg), Earl Randolph (R. Muncie), and Morris Manuel (R. Pendleton). Signing the minority report recommending passage of the measure were Reps. Kendall, Wilbur Grant (R. Indianapolis), Russell Colbert (R. Washington), Robert Heller (R. Decatur), and Matthew Welsh (D. Vincennes). . The large delegation of proponents was headed by Virgil Sheppard of Indianapolis, Home Rule league chairman. He outlined the story behind the home rule movement, tracing it from the time a study commission was appointed in 1939 to the introduction of the resolution the second time at this session.

Says Mayors Are Safe

He explained that it would be several years before the amendment could be approved, a charter commission appointed and any changes in local governments made. “The present mayors need not worry about their jobs,” he said. “And if they have been giving their cities good government they need not worry anyway.” Mayor Vincent Youkey of Crown Point, secretary of the Indiana Municipal league, led the opposition. He charged that the “socalled home rule” amendment was undemocratic because it would give the power to “powerful, well-or-ganized minorities.” “I'm referring to the knife and fork luncheon clubs,” he said.

Sen. Armstrong Sent to Hospital

James Armstrong, 25-year-old Republican state senator from Springville, today suffered a heart attack in the cloakroom outside the senate chamber while the senate was in session. He was treated by Rep. Renos H. Rich‘ards (R. Patricksburg) and sent to Robert Long hospital for observation. His condition was not regard- Mr. Armstrong ed as serious. Senator Armstrong is the author of the highly controversial bill to abolish the Indiana High School Athletic association and yesterday he attended a lengthy hearing on his bill before the senate judiciary B committee.

of idile-western national committeemen. The gentleman in question was James C. Quigley, Nebraska national committeemén, ‘a bald, sober-faced man with a comfortable paunch. It was he who promoted that meeting in Omaha in December of ‘Thidwestern Democrats who cried to high heaven about bureaucracy. . nn THEY WERE VERY mysterious. They weren't intending to raise any more hell, they said.” But just before Chairman Flynn, called the meeting to order. Mr. Quigley was seen leaning heavily on a piano, his oversized bottom facing the assembling members, while he wrote things down on a piece of tablet paper. Nothing happened right away. ‘The meeting proceeded with the election of Postmaster General Frank C. Walker as chairman, the adoption of resolutions, including a mild one commending Mr. Flynn for his services and wishing him success in his ministerial post, and so on. Then, as lunch hour drew near and members began to stir reste lessly, Mr. Quigley did his stuff. He presented a resolution praising Mr. Casey as one man in Washington “who has fought the evils of bureaucracy and constantly battled for the forgotten man”— the latter, of course, meaning the politicians in the hinterland. To understand Mr. Quigley’s motion you must know that Mr. Casey remains anonymous only in Washington. ] t J 2 2 HE IS A TRAVELING man. He has left his calling cards on folks like Mr. Quigley and other politicians in the Middle West, listening to their troubles, echoing their complaints about bureaucrats, nodding sympathetically, assuming that hurt look. (After all he owns a farm and understands these things). Mr. Quigley pulled the cork, and the juice of bitterness foamed out all over the Red Lacquer room, Up jumped folks from out this way who have wept upon ar. | Casey's shoulder, and then | popped folks who didn’t know | him from the legendary mighty Casey of Mudville, but who said he was the kind of guy they liked. And so they whooped the resolution over, and a national committeewoman shouted: “Has anybody here seen Casey?” Then he rose from his corner seat, and he gave them the gospel—that all over Washington | there are bureaucrats who disobey and distort the president’s orders, that the president is not to blame, that he is a kind and trusting gentleman, that 99.9 per cent of | the mistakes are not his. Then he said a few words about Ed |

Flynn, who he said was merely the symbol for an attack on Mr. Roosevelt and the Democratic party. He sat down amid cheers. All the while he was talking, former Governor Ed Rivers of Georgia, who has been indicted for for alleged irregularities while he was. governor (which he charges to a political plot), began to squirm in his seat like the old lady’ in the amen corner of a southern camp meeting just before she rises to shout.
