THE OCAPEHART 's senatorial boom has given. some of the other
numerous G. O. P. senatorial aspirants a good case of the “jitters.” They all ‘think it’s much too early to get into the race and yet they don’t want to sit back and let the Capehart forces get a band-
wagon rolling.
. The Capehart movement has brought Congressman Forrest Har-
ness of Kokomo, one of the senatorial aspirants, home on the run from Washington to size up the situation.
Congressman Harness has been
« back in the state for several days
now and. is holding numerous conferences with G. O. P. leaders about the senatorial situation. And Congressman Reymond Springer of Connersville is also
due back over the Easter recess :
to talk, according to his friends, about the senatorship. Congressman Springer reportedly thinks that if any of the state’s nine Republican congress-
men is going to get the Repub-
lican U. 8. senatorial nomination it should be him. He twice has been his = party’s nominee for governor. 3 2 2 =
Faces Complications
CONGRESSMAN HARNESS’ position is a little difficult. He comes from the fifth district which also is the home district of State Auditor Richard T. James, Rho also is in the. senatorial pice
Even to get started, he must
have what at least appears to be
the united support of his home
district. And that entails some sort of a deal with Mr. James, Some fifth district leaders reportedly would rather back Mr, James than Mr. Harness for the nomination since the state auditor has run successfully in two state-wide races while Mr. Har-
‘ness has not sought an office
causing -him to put ona statewide campaign. G. O. P. leaders also regard the Capehart candidacy as taking out of the senatorial picture Rep. George W. Henley of Bloomington, house floor leader in the last legislative session. Rep. Henley lives in the district of which Mr. Capehart is chairman, the seventh. Mr. Henley is now being considered by organization leaders
“for a supreme court judgeship
nomination, a $10,000 a year job for six years which is equivalent to the term and salary of a U. S.
senator.
The forces backing G. O. P. Chairman Ralph Gates for the governorship are anxious that the
| find a ‘senatorial
that would give his district, the fourth, more than its share since the incumbent Republican sena-
tor, Raymond Willis, also from the fourth district. / , But if the Gates f can’t
candidate to their liking (and Mr. Capehart isn’t) from south of Road 40, they reportedly will throw their strength behind some northern Indiana man and try to placate southern Indiana Republicans by giving them most of the rest of the places on the state ticket. All this unusually early political activity in Republican circles is due to the fact that Indiana Republicans believe that victory at "the polls next year is “in the bag” and that nomination will be tantamount to election.
MAN'S DEATH AFTER ACCIDENT PROBED
FT. WAYNE, Ind. April 23 (U. P.).— An investigation into the death of Earl G. Pippenger, 51-year-old Ft. Wayne resident, formerly of Elkhart, was launched today by Allen County Coroner Dr. Edgar A. Mendenhall, to determine whether he died from effects of an automobile accident. Pippenger, a native of Nappanee, died shortly before midnight last night. He had been struck by a car driven by Ruth Zartman of
Payne, O., on April 13. = Although Pippenger was confined to his home
following the accident, his injuries|
were not considered serious, it was reported.
IN COUNTY: DRIVE
Murder of Doolittle’s Men Spurs Sales; State Over the Top.’
Marion county, after a record day of “revenge” bond buying, today was withing striking distance of its second war loan quota and eager to share in Indiana's achievement of being the first state in the nation to go over the top.
Angered by news of the Jap murders of American airmen, Marion county residents sent another
1$1,709,498 into the war against the
axis yesterday. "Griffith Is Confident
The record buying brought the county’s total to $31,453,098, only a little more than $2,500,000 short of the $34,060,000 goal.
‘With this spirit it won't take Marion county and Indianapolis long to match the state’s record in going over the top,” said William C. Griffith, co-chairman of the drive. ‘The last $2,500,000 however, will be much more difficult to attain than this new spurt indicates.
ing lines—backing up the firing lines,”
Engleman Is Speaker
Another impetus to Marion county buying was the acquisition of a ticket ‘to the Cole Bros. circus for any one of eight performances April 29 through May 2 with the purchase of a bond. A total of $107,000 worth of bonds which were accompanied by receipts exchangeable for circus tickets were sold yesterday. The county hond staff was aroused to greater efforts yesterday by Ralph G. Engleman, associate field director of the war savings staff, Washington, who spoke to volunteer workers at the Claypool hotel.
NO PRIGE TOO HIGH
FOR VICTORY, NORRIS
* BLOOMINGTON, Ind. April 23 (U., P.)—Former Senator George W. Norris of Nebraska believes “no price is too high to pay for the destruction of the axis leaders.” “Victory must result in a world in which are liberated the dynamic, creative energies of all men of good will and ability,” Norris said at commencement exercises yesterday for Indiana university’s 405 graduates. “Without complete. defeat of the enemy, we are not free to obey our best impulses to build a better community, a better state and a better nation,” he said. He advocated complete disarmament of both the enemy and the united nations.

The Fight Is for You Who Will Follow,’ |
Says Air Cadet Writing to: Unborn Son|
with people and situations and
(Continued from Page One) may be though that you must
read these lines alone, and this is
my reason for writing them.
“The country which in a few
short weeks will claim you as one of its newest citizens is fighting for its existence, Your mother waits alone at home to bring you
into the world while your father prepares for whatever may be his -
share of the combat which lies ahead. The risks are great, and though my comrades in uniform laugh with me as we joke of future danger, still in each of our hearts is the quieting knowledge that some day soon we must prepare to face the final fact of death. “That we can laugh now is high tribute to the many reasons we have found to thus prepare ourselves and move forward in hope and courage. “Twenty-five years ago when 1 was born, the world also was at war. I grew up during the peace that followed, totally unaware of the pain and sacrifice that had gone into the winning of that peace—however brief it may have been, I learned to sneer with
other: school boys at that merely
preliminary battle to make the world . safe for democracy—not even knowing what democracy meant. “In this matter, my son, my ignorance equalled my, ego. This was the state of mind I found myself in when the men who now seek to destroy my country —and yours—plunged my world into the horror of total war, Tn what a short space of time did I discover what it meant to live in a free world!
“I SPEAK TO YOU across the years wnich lie between us so that you will not be a partner to the derision and contempt in which many of your contemporaries will inevitably hold my generation. This fight we pursue is for you who will follow, for in the winning of it, many of us will have lost all that gives to life its savour, We want only at the close of it to return to whatever is left of the world we knew and finish out our times in peace. “Even as I write these lines, the dreams of many are fading in their hearts, supplanted by the nightmare of war and all that war can mean to a man and a woman, These are the dreams we hold so dear, which we are so reluctant to let go, that are the very reason we seek to destroy our enemies at whatever cost. “For these dreams of ours, and of the men and women who came before us, built this country— made your country my son the last asylum for the decent man who desires not the sun but only a chance to work for a place in it. The men we fight would keep us chained in the shadow of their false greatness and so we oppose
our strength to theirs. In this way we give to you who come after your chance to dream as we were , offered our own.
“There are so many things I ‘had planned telling you when you and I first began to talk— man to man—how I met your mother and how I loved her with all my heart from the first wonderful moment. And the way we looked at each other without speaking—silenced by our great happiness—the day we knew for sure that you were coming. There were so many things which must now remain unspoken,
“FORGETTING ALL ELSE my son if you choose, remember what I say to you now. The army in which I am a soldier provides a chaplains corps to minister to the spiritual ‘needs of men in uniform wherever on the globe they may find themselves. These men of God have given to me two words on which to base my courage and my hope of a better time. These simple words encompass all that I know, all:that I would be able to tell you in ten thousand others, Accept them, use them each day that you live in all your dealings
yours will be the happy life. They
‘are: ‘Have faith.
“ , ., The knowledge that I
cannot be close to your mother |
when you draw your first breath
gives me the greatest anguish I
have ever known. , . . Only my faith sustains me, for it has cre‘ated between those I love and myself a tremendous bond, possessed of such strength that nothing can alter or weaken it. In this I find all my strength, all my courage, all my hope. “My faith allows me to look forward to the wonderful years that will come for us with victory and to the good things we will share together. God grant that this will be so. If it be otherwise, then you must dream my dreams, fulfill your ambitions as 1 sought to fulfill my own, find the peace, the happiness, which I have only touched upon. Whatever happens, my son, may my blessings and that of God protect
“you and keep you.
“YOUR FATHER."

A consumer may ask his retailer to exchange a cut of meat which was bruised or otherwise unfit for use when it was purchased, for other meat of the same point value, the OPA explained today. This provision in meat rationing regulations merely makes possible the continuation of an established practice whereby a retailer willingly makes an exchange for defective ‘food he has sold unintentionally, an OPA spokesman said.
