INDIANA ‘ADS’ BRING

advertising its own industrial advantages in several leading maga~ zines; from New York with approximately $1,000,000 a year allotted to its commerce department, and from California, probably the oldest campaigner from the standpoint. of national publicity. Indiana's department,” operated by Mr. Ross and Lieut. Gov, Richard T. James, has an annual appropriation of only $20,000 and was able to put on the advertising campaign only because of dona1 tions from 13 Hoqsier utilities. Among the big surprises in the program has been the response from California, which leads all the other states heard from in interest. Fourteen out of 139 requests for additional information based on one ad alone came from California, Mr. Ross said. Surprise in Response “We were expecting most of the prospects to come from the East as a result of a general trend toward decentralization,” Mr, Ross said. “It’s hard to explain the interest of California industrialists unless it is'a result of a belief that industries will be more secure, in the event of another war, located away from the coasts.” The advertising drive got under way in November when the first advertisement appeared in four national magazines. The campaign is scheduled fo run until next November. The heavy work, just beginning, will come as initial inquiries are boiled down to the industries which will seek bedrock details. Although there have been some inquiries from founders of hew enterprises, most of them have come from established companies seeking either a move from their present site or looking for new fields for expansion, Mr. Ross said.

HALLECK WARNS OF ‘SLAVERY’ MEASURES

Times Special SAN DIEGO, Feb. 14—Warning that “selfish pressure groups 8 ong slavery,” Rep. Charles A. lleck (R. Ind.) invited support for the G. O, P. as standing for freedom. Chairman of the House sional Republican Committee, Mr. Halleck was principal speaker at a Lincoln Day dinner sponsored by the: Men's Republican league and other G. O. P. organizations. “This is a day to step squarely up to the issues of our time and face down the enemies of free government,” the Hoosier congressman declared. “We have seen America slip from the pinnacle of world-wide influence into the valleys of fear and dissension under weak but vicious governmental policies which can never unite this people but only drive them apart. We have seen the confident hope for a bright and compelling future give away to suspicion and fear. We have seen the promise of prosperity foresworn in industrial strife. “The congressional elections this year will provide Americans with an opportunity to take at least one step forward in restoring integrity and dignity to the nation's capital and to American life, one good step forward in freeing the genius of a progressive people to enrich the lives of all in mutual agreement and hope.”

‘GEN. ROWE RETIRES AT JEFFERSONVILLE

JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind, Feb, 14 (U, P.) ~The war department announced today the retirement of Brig. Gen. Guy I. Rowe, commanding general of the Jeffersonville quartermaster depot. Gen. Rowe, who concludes 36 years ‘of service in the regular army, reaches the statutory retirement age of 60 on Feb. 25. He came to Jefféersonville in March, 1944, after serving in com-

At present there | — are six dumps used by the city as well as by private individuals, with one bulldozer in operation for “sll the sites. ¢ Although the population of Indianapolis has increased substantially during the past I5 years, little or no improvement in collection faecilities has been evident, Mr. Frazier stated. $1 Per Capita Budget He said that the 1946 budget of $417,207.60 is approximately $1 per capita for the average family which provides for 78 garbage collections and 39 ash and trash pick-ups. “With the exception of relatively short periods of very bad weather, the vast majority of collections are made regularly,” Mr. Frazier pointed out, “but the general impression of this work is based on exceptions.” Given adequate facilities and support, one of the best collection systems at no increase over present cost can be established, he concluded. Citizens have complained throughout the war about the collection service of the department.

INDIANA HAD 257,411 IN ARMY DURING WAR
