BY FARL RICHERT

. EVEN THOUGH CONVENTION time is still a year away, the Republican political pot is rapidly approaching the boiling point and

rumors are flying thick and fast.

Chief topic of speculation at the present concerns Glen E. Hillis, the party's gubernatorial nominee in 1940. Mr. Hillis has been holding numerous conferences with G. O. P. leaders throughout the state and

the question on the tongues of practically all Republicans is, “What is Glen going to do?” He declines to discuss the future, except to make the succinct remark that “I'll be in politics unless I break a leg.” Friends of G. O. P. State Chairman Ralph Gates, a candidate for the governorship nomination, claim that Mr. Hillis has pledged to support Mr. Gates. But Mr. Hillis says that at the present he is not backing anyone. But it is a cinch that he'll be backing someone, possibly himself, when the time comes.

Dawson Shows Interest

LT. GOV. CHARLES DAWSON, the state's top-ranking Republican official, also is beginning -to show signs of interest in the .governorship race. He met with a number of northern Indiana G. O. P. state senators at Tippecanoe lake Saturday night and it is reported that he will meet with southern Indiana senators at a similar affair soon. Mr. Dawson declined to comment on the Tippecanoe lake meeting, except to say that jt was “highly successful.” It is known that the governorship situation was discussed at the meeting. Many observers believe that the lieutenant governor, if he does decide to become a candidate, may soon make a play for the support of the Willkie crowd. Mr. Gates, is staying neutral on the Willkie situation until he sees how the bandwagon is going and the Dawson strategists believe that the lieutenant governor can get the support of a large pertion of the Willkie followers by coming out early for the 1940 standard-bear-er. Mr. Dawson always has openly expressed the belief that the Republican victory in the. state in 1040 was due to Mr. Willkie. And he came away from the governor’s conference at Columbus, O., last week with the opinion that Mr, Willkie, as he says, “is 'way out in front.”

Capehart Going Strong

ON THE SENATORIAL side of the picture, Homer E. Capehart, seventh district chairman, practically has a full-fledged cam- - paign going right now, He has made 12 speeches before luncheon clubs this month and has as many more scheduled throughout the state next month. He also is making numerous speeches before G. O. P. clubs and is holding almost daily conferences with party leaders from various sections of the state. He is keeping his name before the public by use of all advertising channels. His company, the Packard Manufacturing Co., is sponsoring broadcasts of all games played by the Indians and his

name is mentioned several times |B

during each broadcast. He has been named state navy day chairman and is now setting up navy day organizations in the 92 counties. Mr. Capehart, however, is not well liked by a number of powerful party leaders in the state and they are casting around now for a man to back. : At present, at least, it seems as ~ if youthful State Auditor Richard

T. James is the man those op- =

posed to Mr. Capehart are most likely to settle upon. : Secretary of State Rue Alexander, who heads the patronagepowerful auto license bureau, re-

portedly is in favor of Mr. James, | &

although all he will say for the record is that he will support whomever the organization wants. Mr. Alexander's chief deputy, Gilbert Ogle, says flatly, however, that “we're for Dick in this corner.”

Mr. Gates is very friendly, too, |

to Mr. James, even inviting him to . go to Chicago a week ago to at- . tend an 18-state party conference. Mr. James has the nucleus of

NAZIS RUSHING MEN TO SICILY

18 Divisions Reported Sent To Meet Invasion By Allies.

BERN, Switzerland, June 30.— The Germans are hurrying down to Italy the greater part of their available reserves in order to meet the allied landing in Sicily, which the Fascist press unanimously describes as “imminent.” No less than 18 German divisions have been sent to Italy in the course of the last 10 days according to reliable information here. Intense traffic is noticeable on all roads linking Italy with its powerful partner. Of these 18 divisions, seven reportedly have been sent directly south, while 11 are being kept in reserve somewhere in the north. Have New Equipment . Except for a small part coming from France, all these troops are newly equipped units which up to now have been stationed somewhere in southern Germany awaiting der Fuehrer’s decision. Apparently they were destined for the Russian front. The Nazis, decision to give Italy extensive help is interpreted here as having a two-fold significance. First, it is believed, Germany has now definitely renounced its plans for an offensive on the Russian front this summer, sending to Italy reserves accumulated to attack Stalin’s legions. Secondly, the Nazis’ original plan to leave the main responsibility for the defense of southern Italy in Italian hands, now has been discarded. Possibly because the Nazis do not have complete faith in their ally’s military prowess, they have now decided to take a greater part in the defense of the southern extremity of the European fortress.

COMES UP SMILING AND MINUS TEETH

LOS ANGELES, Cal. (U. P).— Shirley Fletcher, 7, en route in a hurry to school for which she was late, had a set-to with a Santa Fe locomotive and came up smiling with only two teeth missing. The unheeded and unheeding engine sent her sprawling, but at the general hospital the only thing found wrong was the two teeth through whose aperture she was able to smile almost as beautifully as before.
