through 37, must look forward to induction, regardless of ‘whether he is a father, unless he is found to be a necessary man in an industry contributing to the war effort or in agriculture, or unless congress takes rome further action, such as to postpone induction of fathers. : It was pointed out that there is a wide abyss between the necessary occupations in essential industries and the list of “non-deferrable” occupations announced two gays ago by. WMC.

3B to Be Slight Deterrent When asked what the p

official said: . “The only logical conclusion is that men not listed ‘as necessary can look forward to military service, of whether or not ‘their job has been listed as non-deferra-ble. ” Draft boards are reclassifying married men in essential jndustries to 3-B. Married men in the 35 in-

* dustries are being put in 3-B re-

gardless of whether they are “necessary men.” However, when a 3-B- man’s numeber comes up, he and his employer must then prove that he is. a “necessary man.” If not, he is ready for induction if he can’ pass’ the physical examination.

3-B Only a Delay

“The effect of a 3-B classification for those in essential industries but not necessary men is only-a temporary delay in induction, perhaps three to six months,” an official said. However, any man who transfered from his present job to an essential in in which he becomes a essary man” will get further deferment. War Manpower Chief Paul V. MecNutt has said that 10 out of every 14 men will be in the armed forces by the year’s end. There are an estimated 15,000,000 physically fit men aged 18 through 37, of whom more than one-third already are in uniform. The armed forces, according to present plans, will total 10,800,000— leaving only slightly more than 4,000,000 physically fit men for the heavy tasks’ in war industry and farming, men that must be deferred because women and men of poor physical condition cannot replace

COMMISSION PROBES PRISONERS IN AFRICA

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4 (U. P.).— A mixed commission is investigating the status of political prisoners still held in North Africa, it was learned today. President Roosevelt disclosed af a press conference yesterday that

practically all of the prisoners had}

been released and that only those with additional charges against them are being held. Soon after the Anglo-American forces landed in French Africa in the British, many French and some Soviet, Czech and Polish prisoners were liberated. The remaining cases, amounting to some {cost 5000 or 6000, were regarded by the authorities as requiring additional inquiry. Mr. Roosevelt’s statement indicated that most of them were

now at liberty."

The assassination of Admiral Jean Darlan and plots against Gen. Henri Giraud and American Minister Robert D. Murphy resulted in additional arrests. ‘Fifteen suspects are still being held for possible im- # plication in the Darlan assassi--nation.

VENEREAL FUND

*| Proposes Mandatory Levy To Fight Evil in Cities Of Over 70,000.

A proposal designed to make more effective the campaign to solve one of the major public health problems

diana, venereal disease, was offered to the house of representatives yestérday by Rep. Charles P. Ehlers (R. Indianapolis) and Rep. Arthur F. Denton (R. Evansville). They introduced.a bill to make it mandatory for the city councils of all cities having a population of more than 70,000 to levy an annual property tax not to exceed 3 cents. All ‘revenue from the levy would be earmarked for a fund to be known as “The Board of HealthVenereal : Disease Prevention and Control Fund.” It also authorizes an appropriation by the city council of an amount deemed necessary by the city board of health and the city health officer. Such a sum when appropriated would also go into the special fund.

Backed by Physicians

‘The bill was introduced under the sponsorship of Dr. George Bowman, director of the venereal disease control bureau of the state department of health; Dr. Norman Beatty, chief clinician of the city’s isolation hospital at the old Fletcher sanitarium, and ‘Dr. Herman G. Morgan, secretary of the city board of health. : Dr. Morgan urged passage of the bill “to insure a permanent venercas disease eradication program, in view of the fact that venereal diseases constitute one of the major public health problems.” “The fight against such diseases has been greatly augmented because of their direct relation to the war effort. The federal and military health authorities are greatly interested in protecting the great

members of the armed forces from venereal diseases.” he said. He pointed out that the measure is one which ‘looks as much to the future as well as to the present demands of such disease prevention. He said that the city anticipates receiving federal aid in carrying out the program for the duration, but, should it be withheld for any reason, the revenue provided for in the bill would take the place of government funds.

Well Worth Cost

Dr. Morgan emphasized that “it is an economic measure as well as a public welfare one.. If we consider the cost to the state and city of caring for those who have become mentally ill from venereal diseases then it becomes clear that the program as outlined in the propose) ‘measure is well worth its

An ‘ordinance introduced last Monday in the city council for an appropriation of $25,000 would enlarge the facilities of the city’s venereal disease clinic at the isolation hospital to take care of 200 patients a day instead of the pressent 75.

BY EARL RICHERT

THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION reaches its half-way mark tomorrow and G. O. P. leaders still are hopeful that they can shorten the session by at least six to eight days. The all-important appropriations bill already has been introduced, . .earlier than in many years, and Republican State Chairman Ralph Gates plans to speed it along by holding joint house and senate

caucuses on the measure next week. ‘He thinks that all matters in dispute can be ironed out and the measure passed around Feb. 24. Then, as he sees it,- adjournment could come three or four days later, giving the legislators time enough to complete action on such other important legislation as still may be pending.

The legal deadline for the session is March 8. Presiding officers in both houses, Lieut. Gov. Charles Dawson and Speaker Hobart Creighton, say that the matter of early adjournment, of course, will depend upon the legislators themselves but that they will have things in: shape in their respective houses so that the session can adjourn early, if that is the wish of the membership. After tomorrow, introduction of bills stops in the house, except with the consent of

“two-thirds of the members.

Both houses are now meeting in the afternoon and Saturday sessions are scheduled to be held, this week, if necessary. And committes in both houses are taking quick action on important bills and many of them are burying the “crackpot” measures. So, from here, an early adjournment doesn’t look impossible. Republican leaders realize, of | course, that an early adjournment of the legislature, even though by only a few days, will make more of a hit with the general. public than anything. that can be done by the general as-. sembly. . 2

Readies License Setup Bill SENATOR SAMEUL JOHNSON (R. Anderson), the man who doesn’t like the present auto license setup under Republican Secretary of State Rue Alexander, intends to introduce a new bill to strip Mr. Alexander of his patrone.

by- the senate judiciary A committee. He says that the original bill, which provided that the county clerks should handle the license branches in county seats and the township trustees the branches in townships outside the ecity,. was only a trial balloon to test Sentiment. He says he has tearried now that the county clerks don’t want the managerships in the- county seats, but that the county #ssessors do. So he is going to introduce a new bill which would leave the auto license branch under Mr. Alexander but give the license branches in county seats to the assessors and the outlying ones to the township trustees. It’s a ‘good bet that the same thing will happen to this bill that happened to his first one. The state G. O. P. organization which now controls the important license bureali patronage through Mr. Alexander has no desire to turn it over to county and township officials, regardless of their political afilistions.

See Short Term” for Beeker.

ODDS AND ENDS: The “back | room” boys are saying that Indianapolis’ new police chief, Clifford Beeker, and Safety Board President William Remy, won't be in office more than 60 days more. The man they're mentioning as successor to Chief Beeker is Sergt. Marion Van Sickle, an investigator in the office of Corporation Counsel Sidney Miller, The Irvington Republican Women’s ‘club had adopted a resolution opposing the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce-sponsored bill to’ combine all townships inside the city limits into one. . . Enough funds are contained in the state police department appropriations now in the state budget bill to increase by $10 a month the maintenance allowance for police officers. The officers now receive $35 a month for maintenance in addition to. their admittedly low salaries. This would in effect give them a $10 a month raise.

CITY WILL COLLECT TIN CANS NEXT WEEK

Tin cans will be collected in Indianapolis again next week, with homes north of 16th st. canvassed on Monday and Tuesday and those south of 16th st. covered on Wednesday and Thursday. ; ; Harry R. Calkins, secretary to Mayor Tyndall, yesterday made a plea for apartment dwellers to make a special effort to save their tin cans for the seventh monthly collection drive. A special telephone has been installed for the duration to give out information on tin salvage and collection. The number is. MA-1933. A. Elwell Crissey, special representative of the war production board assigned to tin salvage, said|; yesterday that the ends of the tin cans do not have to be removed entirely, but the ends ‘should be opened wide enough to permit the detinning “fluid = to . pass Jreely through the can. - He said the cans should be compressed tightly but not hammered, and they must be washed and the labels removed. James B. Clements is chairman of the Junior Chamber of Commerce tin salvage education committee which is assisting in the drive.
