Peace (I's Wonderful) Is Aim, Hamilton Says.
A Marion county Republican fac< tion to end all Marion county Republican factions was incorporated here today. Anyway, that's what its sponsors announce. Name of the new organization is the “Friendly Republican Club.” “We want to bring the Republi~ cans together”. said William E.

Mr. Hamilton said the #tiendly Republicans desired to “co-ordinate” the G. O.

JUSTICE ROBERTS APPROVES CHARTER
PHOENIXVILLE, Pa. July 13 (U. P.) —Associate Supreme Court Justice Owen D. Roberts urged last
night that the United States join in|
a federation to guarantee a lasting peace among nations of the world. Roberts, who retires from the high court July 31, told a meeting of Americans United for World Organization, Inc. that “common allegiance and mutugl pledges” were necessary for an enduring peace. In his first public address since his retirement was announced last week, Roberts voiced his approval of the United Nations Charter, but said he wished the pact were stronger. . Roberts termed international law a “misnomer and a joke, and actually the law of the first.” The Charter, he said;/“means that while four or five great powers don’t fali out, the thing can work. It therefore is no better than a great alliance.” The justice, who lives on a farm near ‘here, said a federation of free men for certain supra-national functions was “the only answer” for a world hopeful of a lasting peace.

—Housewives may be having difficulty kuying soap, but the govetnment has no immediate plans for rationing, the agriculture department said today. The reason, according to William A. McConologue, a soap official, is that no one yet has devised a successful ration scheme. Surveys ¢onducted by the department and the office of price administration show that the todustry is distributing - supplies as taitly as possible through a volun‘ary program.

The use of soap, unlike most other commodities, can vary widely in|
than soft water localities. In some communities, laundries get most of the dirty clothes while in others housewives tub the family wash, Industrial’ cities such as Indianapolis use far more soap than communities of office workers such as Washington. Soap manufacturers and dealers know these consumption habits and limit supplies accordingly, McConologue said. American soap supplies for 1945 are estimated at about 15 per cent less than last year and 26 per cent below pre-war.

PURDUE TRAINING
FOR CITIZENSHIP
Tracing the downfall of Germany to the failure of her best educated and scientific thinkers to take interest in the conduct of their government, Acting President A. A. Potter of Purdue university, has urged special college training for citizenship. “Purdue seeks to train students
not only for the technical fields, but also for citizenship and an appreciation of spiritual and aesthetic values,” Dr. Potter added, speaking yesterday before the 17th annual
rural leadership conference at La-
fayette. “There is also inadequate con-
sideration for women’s rights: and,
for religion in the world today,” he told the more than 100 persons attending. Other conference speakers were: Maj. Herman Selinski of Wakeman hospital; C. J. Dexter, chief of the vocational rehabilitation and education division, Indianapolis; K. L.

Army, Civil Authorities Meet ¥
To Plan Curb.
Robbery of an increasing number
of soldiers here has drawn the attention of civil and military en-
forcement authorities. A meeting will . be held in the
Columbia club at 8 p. m. Thursday
to discuss the growing evil. Only yesterday, the subject was aired at a meeting of the safety board when Ralph Gregg, American Legion national judge advocate, complained bitterly that soldiers and sailors visiting the city were the objects of organized hoodlums. “Some taxi drivers are involved in the ‘rolling’ of service men,”
| Judge John L. Niblack of municipal
court 4 charged. Charges Women Used
“Something has to be done about thieves who prey upon discharged servicemen flush with their last pay. “These thieves use women, and often taxi drivers, to commit their robberies,” the judge added. Judge Niblack suggested the meeting, which will be the first be-
tween civil and military groups
here in two years. Invited were Col. Henry E. Tisdale, commandant at Ft. Harrison, Sherwood Blue, counfy prosecutor, Mayor Tyndall, Jesse P. McMurtry, police chief, Sheriff Otto W. Petit, Judge William D. Bain of criminal court, Judge John L. McNelis of municipal court 3, and Brig. Gen. Elmer Sherwood, state adjutant general. > Usual Procedure The familiar picture, as related at the safety board meeting and by Judge. Niblack, is as follows: A service man seeks recreation: in the city, perhaps celebrates too much, is often approached by an attractive woman, takes another drink, wakes up minus his “roll.” “There are too many taxi drivers in this town who have criminal records,” Judge Niblack added. This also is the belief of Mr. Gregg and Legion officials, who for
several months have sought passage
of a city ordinance licensing . taxi drivers. The safety board submitted a proposed ordinance to the city council, but it wes killed after several months’ postponement. :
