: + Maps Program to Beat City Hall Clique.

‘The regular Republican organization, led by Chairman Henry E Ostrom, openly launched a fight-

to-finish offensive against city hall : Insurgents at a dinner meeting in| 8

: Bb the Athenaeum last night.

‘The caucus was called by Chair- ||

man Ostrom who earlier this week

announced he had broken openly 2

- with the city hall faction. Attending the meeting were all regular ward chairmen; James L. : Bradford, ex-Republican chairman t whose machine city hall Republicans have been fighting, end Joseph Daniels, attorney and a chief adviser of the regular organization. Mr. Ostrom promised the ward chairmen that if they co-operated 100 per cent with the organization,| they could not be beaten .in the 1044 May primary when the showdown with the rival G. O. P. organzation at the city hall is expected to reach a climax.

Plan More Meetings

+The ward bosses were addressed by Rep. Earl B. Teckemeyer of the législature who urged the regular Organization to exploit the progres- : e legislation put through by Refy publicans in the general assembly. : Regarding the insurgent move

against the organization by the city| |

hall faction, Mr. Teckemeyer said: was nominated and elected through the efforts of the regular organization and I owe my allegice to you ward chairmen and er 10yal party workers. '“The break between the regular G. O. P. organization and members of the city hall clique came out into the open about a month ago when Sidney Miller, city corpora- . tion counsel, was elected chairman of the rival Republican committee composed almost entirely of Republicans who supported Mayor Tyn.dall in the 1942 primary election fight against the Bradford machine, Chairman Ostrom announced at the close of the conference last _ night that “more of these meetings will be held regularly this year in order that the organization can be kept in 100 per cent working order for 1944.”

COL, TURNER RAPS CURB ON CITIZENS

‘Governmental restrictions will be “doubled” after the war unless steps. are taken immediately to prevent them, Col. Roscoe Turner, president of the Roscoe Turner Aeronautical Corp., told members of the Caravan club at a luncheon meeting in the Murat temple yesterday. | “We are so close to losing our democratic form .of government that it scares me,” Col. Turner said. “This nation will surely head for disaster if we have a rubber stamp congress plus a rubber stamp citiZenry,” he declared. “Within the framework of constitutional democracy the post-war era can become the greatest period of prosperity ever conceived. Properly organized it can mean’economic, security for the individual as well as a permanent world peace.”

Housing, the greatear part of the furnishings and facilities have been donated by the Methodist City council auxiliary; operating the community center. The auxiliary is assisted by the Good Will Industries, directed by the Rev. Howard Lytle. ‘Operating costs and the personnel will be provided by the A.W. V. 8. Miss Crystal Butcher will be

agreed to a compromise foreclosure for $600, the value of two lots upon which the center is located. Through this compromise, Mr. Baxter has indicated his willingness to accept a $4400 loss on a loan which he made to the center in 1937. . Community Operated

At present the enterprise Is owned and financed by North East Community, Inc, comprising residents of the Washington park district. Previously, WPA had assisted in staffing North East, but sugpension of that agency, officials of the center say, ‘has made its maintenance increasingly difficult. Should the compromise mortgage indebtedness be assumed by: the city, the center would be deeded over to the park board. Provisions of its future operation have not been ‘mapped, but -indications are Yai North East Community Center, ae. woeld continue to direct the A itself, while the park board would supervise playground and affiliated activities. Miss Gertrude V. Brown, a park board member, who for years has been instrumental in developing North East, will submit the proposal to the center's board of directors. °°

Debated for Months

Adoption of the transaction would solve a complex financial problem debated by North East and the park board for many months. At first, Miss Brown, acting as a liaison agent hetwéen the center and the park board, suggested that the city assume the entire $5000 indebtedness incurred by North East, in return for ownership. : This met objection from Paul Rathert, president of the park board, who contended the city already owned the community center building .at 3306 E. 30th st. The structure had been donated to the city by the New York Central railroad, he said, and moved to the 30th st. site with the aid of WPA labor in 1937. Miss Brown, representing North East, said she had been under the impression that the center ownéd both the building and lots. Jackiel W, Joseph, previous park board president, who was called in to review.the original deed, said it had been his understanding that the city not only owned the building, but also was to receive undisputed ownership of the enterprise upon its completion.

HOLDUPS MAY END 2 NIGHT TROLLEY RUNS

Indianapolis Railways officials said today’ that the number of holdups on the Columbia ave. and Indiana ave. trackless trolley lines recently may lead to discontinuance of service after dark on the two lines. Company representatives discussed the matter with Police Chief Beeker yesterday and asked that steps be taken to protect drivers who oper ate the trolleys. They said Chief Beeker assured them that additional squads would patrol the lines in an effort to end the frequent holdups and avoid |] possible need for stopping service on the runs after dark. ’ “Holdups in themselves axe bad enough,” one company official\ said, “put frequently the operator is beaten up by the holdup men. The drivers are becoming apprehensive about driving these runs after dark and we don’t blame them.” One operator was injured seriously early this week when he was struck on the head by a clubwielding robber.
