Hits G. O. P. Rule j HERE'S WHAT the governor had to say on state matters: “I've just come through another four days of Republican inefficiency. (The G. O. P.-domin-ated special session of the legislature refused to consider most of the wartime legislative program suggested by the governor.) “The legislative program in 1641, 1943 and 1944 was predetermined for the Republican majority by their bosses. I am looking forward to the day when a

Republican legislature can come to Indianapolis in an atmosphere ‘of FREE ENTERPRISE.

“At no time during the last four years under that leadership G. O. P. bosses) has anything been accomplished’ that would warrant the people of Indiana placing their trust in a Republi. can leadership of the state. “By refusing to let the federal

ballots be counted, even the Re-.

publican rock-ribbed state of Vermont did that, the,Indiana Republicans handed a direct insult to every fighting man and woman of Indiana. That thing alone ought to defeat them in Indiana for the next 20 years. “I have been charged with playing politics for my proposal to cut 7 cents from the state levy. Well, I've always said that anything good for the people is always good politics. “The Republicans got thousands of telegrams from laboring men and women wanting them to leave the polls open longer on election days. Did they get it? No the Republican bosses promised them they would put it in their next platform.” . #

‘Must Retain F. D. R.

‘SENATOR JACKSON called for s Democratic campaign of cru-sade-like fervor. “We shall win in 1944 because the peculiar circumstances of the case compel it. But let me hasten to warn that no Democrat must seek in these circumstances any narrow partisan gratification,” he said. “This year we fight for America, not for party. Every worker should be touched with the livid fire of high conviction that

1100 At Banquet

THE DEMOCRATS were cheered because they served more than 1100 people at their banquet compared to some 800 served at the G. O. P. editorial banquet several weeks ago. Not to throw cold water on things, but if this writer recalls correctly the Democrats also out attended the Republicans at similar meetings preceding the 1942 election at which the Republicans rolled up a majority of 125,000 votes. It's organization in the precincts and not attendance at banquets that counts on election day.

South Carolina, Georgia Battered by Surprise Storm.

ROYSTON, Ga., April 17 (U. P). —Emergency crews worked to provide shelter and relief today for scores made homeless by a tornado which hit Georgia and South Carolina with lightning swiftness before dawn yesterday and left at least 30 dead and more than 300 injured. Twenty-one were killed in Georgla, and 18 in South Carolina. damage by the twister,

Eyewitnesses said the tornado ripped through the stretch of farming communities “with express--train speed,” crumbling homes and buildings like matchboxes, uprooting trees, overturning cars and disrupting communications. The heaviest death toll was in Franklin ard Hart counties, Geor-

Hears Storm Coming

Doctors and nurses worked by Miptit 20 to administer aid to the injured. At Royston a baby girl, named Susie, was born to Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Dove during the storm. A young mother, whose husband and two young children were killed before her eyes, said that the tornado sounded lixe a “wild roaring thing” as it swept through Royston. Mrs. Ernest Outz, 26, said the family knew the storm was coming. “I woke the children, my hyspand and my mother-in-law,” she

“I took all the family up theeroad a piece to a house we thought might be safer. We were sitting around when it hit. It was terrible. A funnel-like cloud seemed to come out of nowhere. I had the baby in my arms. The next thing I knew, the baby, my husband, my 3-year-old girl, and I were lying under a piece of roof. My husband and two sons, Homer, 6, and Thomas, 5, were found 300 yards from the house, dead.”

Villages a Wreck

Bert Floyd, 32, said he had just retired when he heard the storm

“I screamed for my mother and wife to come quick. I got both of them to crawl between a double mattress in the bed. Just as I started to crawl in, it happened. It was a horrible thing.” Floyd said he found his wife and mother buried under three feet of lumber in the yard, They were not injured seriously. <The tornado left Royston and surrounding villages almost a shambles. Many homes were roofless, automobiles were overturned on the streets, and the Negro sections virtually were demolished.

Complete Coverage Assured On Scale Dwarfing

Former Service.

LONDON, April 17 (U. P.) —Military authorities and war correspondents have arranged in advance of the forthcoming western "front invasion of Europe what should be the best news coverage of any campaign in history. This front will be covered from the moment the first doughboy or Tommy sets foot on the first landing barge. Press arrangements are as much a subject of security as operational plans and to give the number of correspondents, radiomen and photographers involved might tip the scale of the undertaking. It can be said, however, that plans drawn by public relations officers of the British, Canadian and American forces overshadow any similar organization in the past. Correspondents familiar with war coverage arrangements since the “Little B. E. F.” went to France in October, 1939, believe that the program will operate with a minimum of delay and difficulty,

Front Line Experience

Most of the correspondents assigned to the invasion have had front-line experience. Some, like Edward W. Beattie of the United Press, have covered five or six wars. Field cbnditioning courses including such training as map reading have been available to others. Newsmen have gone ashore with every American or allied landing since offensive warfare “wernt amphibious” at Guadalcanal. Similar arrangements will obtain this time. It is certain that during the first phase of the consolidation of beachheads all copy will be pooled. Elaborate arrangements have been made to insure good transmission. This has been notoriously bad at the start of the early campaigns but was excellent in the recent Italian operations. Eventually it is planned that these facilities include air, sea and land courriers, radio, cable and voice transmission,

Algiers Serves as Model

Correspondents found voice transmission facilities set up by the U. 8. army signal corps at Algiers during the North African campaign were of immeasurable assistance when other channels often were erratic or overloaded with official business. Similar facilities at Naples have been helpful to news agencies and newspapers. Censorship, which will be centralized for all phases of the operation, will be under the direction of men who know the problems of field censorship or who have been doing censorship in London for a long time, United Press invasion coverage will draw on a pool of 35 experienced correspondents, the great majority of whom have already been accredited and are available for field service and several of whom have had long experience in land, sea and” air warfare. In practice, the number actually afield with the various forces would never approximate such a total. The remainder would be devoted to supreme allied headquarters, desk work and available as a replacement pool as the operation srovs in

scope. Axis Radio Checked

In addition, the United Press maintains a highly-experienced listening post at Barnet, outside of London, which handles all European and many non-European languages and which keeps a close check on all axis radio broadcasts not only for military news but also for political trends. The overall coverage by the United Press will be directed by Virgil Pinkley, vice president and general European manager, whose personal pre-war knowledge of Europe has been enhanced by coverage of campaigns in the western desert, Tunisia and Sicily. Pinkley’'s righthand man is Clifford L. Day, assistant European manager with a longer experience as a foreign correspondent than any American in London. Their staff includes such veteran correspondents as: Beattie, who has covered war in China, Ethiopia, Finland and France, wrote from London during the battle of Britain and covered the German debacle at Tunis.

Others Experienced

" Richard D. McMillan, famous for his coverage of the British 8th army's battle across North Africa from E] Alemein, who also covered thé first B. E. PF. in France, the evacuation at Dunkirk, the evacuations of Greece and Crete and the first phases of the Italian campaign. Walter Cronkite, who has covered the air war from Britain since the first “flights of the American strategic bombing force and who has made several operational flights. Phil Ault and John Parris, both veterans of the North African campaign since assigned to London, Leo Disher, who was decorated after being wounded at Oran in an allied attempt to smash the harbor boom and who recently covered the attack on the Tirpitz with the British home fleet, his invasion assignment. The U. P. staff in general includes men who speak German or French or both and Who have kept in close contact with European problems,

South Bend Heir

‘On Honeymoon

SOUTH BEND, Ind, April 17 (U. P.).—Pfc. Ben R. Violette, 29-year-old military policeman who inherited a fortune variously estimated at from $200,000 to $2,000,000 from a wealthy halfsister while he was on duty in England, was honeymooning today with his home-town sweet~ heart the former Jo Ann Reeder, 22, whom he married Saturday. Violette, a factory worker before entering the army a year ago, was left a share of the $2,000,000 estate of Mrs. Mary Martin, of Toronto. Violette, who will get the inherftance when he is 30, said he did not know what he would do with his share of the estate and added that he might “just as well forget about it” because there'll be nothing left after taxes anyhow.” The soldier, home on a 10-day furlough, said he would have to return to duty this week. Mrs. Martin a former prospector in the Swastika region of Canada, acquired the fortune through sale of her holdings to the late mining magnate Sir Harry Oakes and associates, She was divorced eight years ago from Ernest Martin, Goshen, Ind., whom she married in 1918.
