“re-evaluate the political situation and bring about a return to the policies of Franklin D. Roosevelt.” The resolution accuses both parties with failing to meet reconver~ sion problems. It said: “The human side of reconversion has been completely neglected, “We believe that both the Democratic and Republican parties, nationally and in Indiana, have woefully failed to carry out their responsibilities to the people during this crisis,” it states. “As a majority party, the Democrats carry a greater share of the responsibility for the emergency that faces us now. Action Is Urged “We urge members of the C. I. O. in Indiana immediately to consider the appropriate political action to correct this condition.” The resolution enumerated “the following C. I. O. aims: “Sixty million jobs, expanded social security, fair employment practices, planned reconversion and the new economic bill of rights.” It was adopted here Sunday by some 40 state C.I1'Q, union presidents representing about 75,000 Hoosier industrial employees, said Walter Frisbie, Indiana C.

Preliminary organization is under way toward the eventual consolidation of city and county governmental units into an East side plaza, las a long-term post-war project. This was given impetus yesterday at a meeting of the citizens postwar planning committee headed by {George Kuhn. Attended by city and [county officials, the meeting saw agreement that a study group be tappeinted -by-Aug.-1 to further: the { plan. Forming the new body, to be known as the city and county government building board, will be representatives of various governmental units. At its first meeting, scheduled for September, the board will consider preparation of an agreement outlining the contributions of city and county governments.

Political Harmony

The board will be expected to secure the services of an engineer for surveying the needs of the various governmental units in the cify and coubly, ‘An architect als is expecteg. 42. LTR Jrelminary, sketches. The-plan was proved in political harmony, with Mayor Tyndall making the motion for organization of the new board and Henry E. Ostrom Republican county chairman, offering the second. Discussed was the possible construction of an East side plaza, similar to one on the West side of the downtown area under consideration for state agencies. :

Center Around Courthouse

It was hoped that the plaza might be built in the general area of the present out-moded, 68-year-old courthouse and the more recently built city hall, The latter was built in 1909. Police headquarters: and the county jail’ would be a part of the proposed plaza, along with other city and county offices, some of which now are required to occupy quarters away from their respective buildings. The post-war committee called the meéeting after its members had come to the following conclusions: ONE: Indianapolis should be prepared to provide returning servicemen and unemployed war workers with public work in the event of a widespread economie lull. Charge on Taxpayers TWO: A “surprising” number of widely-scattered parcels. of real estate are owned. by the city and county. Old and built originally for a single purpose are buildings that were planned with no relationship to other government needs. THREE: Separate maintenance of these buildings constitutes a heavy and needless charge on the taxpayers. FOUR: Funds for construction can be obtained now at an unprecedented low rate of inteerst, less| than one per cent. | FIVE: The city Is growing and additional needs: are developing. It is timely to correlate all expansion programs—grade separations, highway improvements, park extensions. SIX: Boundaries of city and county are becoming closer. Eventually, it is expected the city limits

The C. I. O: also urged adoption of President Truman's proposal “for emergency unemployment com=pensation of $25 for 26 weeks.” Also requested was “immediate revision of the national wage policy to permit increases up to the cost of living and to provide for the maintenance of 48 hours take-home pay for the 40-hour week.” Other C. I. O. recommendations: “Immediate declaration that all wages below 65 cents an hour are substandard. Legislative declaration that the most stabilizing factor in our post-war economy would be the guaranteed minimum annual wage. Negotiation of annual wages by all unions as their contracts opea up. Elimination of wage bracket systems and inter-plant inequities.” Oppose Labor Bill The resolution advocated enactment of the “full-employment bill” and the ‘“Murray-Wagner-Dingell bill” outlining a cradle-to-grave social security program.
