COUNTY FACING | Ave VENUE-DUE SUIT

Seven Counties Consider Collective Action.

By VICTOR PETERSON Auditors of the seven counties bordering Marion county today are hammering on the court house| doors Here. Irate as Brooklyn baseball fans, many are threatening a collective law suit against the county unless $45,400.51 is paid for costs owed on venue changes from Marion county courts. Under law a county from which a case is venued is legally responsible for certain costs, These Marion county has failed to pay although payment is required in 90 days. Some Unpaid Since '43

In several cases the most recent payments were made in 1943. In Morgan county, however, Auditor J. Everett Hadley said that some debts are on the books as far back as the 1930's. “We keep our payments current,” said James R. Stewart, Boone county auditor. “There is no reason Marion county can’t do likewise. “We have taken about all we will from Marion county. Now we are ready to go to work on her, It took a threatened law suit in 1944 to collect. Then we received $4711.47.” Most auditors agree that Marion county never has been current in payments, This is true even though the Marion county council almost yearly apropriates a definite sum for payment of these debts.

Democrats Blamed

“We inherited this problem from

our Democratic predecessors,” said Frank A. Richards, chief deputy auditor of Marion county. “It really is a headache and a big one, “We want to get these debts paid off and are working as fast as possible to do so. That has been one of my chief aims since, coming into office in 1943. “This year the council appropri ated $25,000 to clean up the miess. If it takes more we will seek an emergency appropriation,” he said. “I hope that we can become current this year.” Meanwhile, however, the bills continue to go unpaid and surrounding county auditors aren't much inter-

ested in waiting another six to!

eight months for payment, “The only reason ‘we haven't cleared the matter up more promptly is due to..the heavy pressure of business here and the fact that we have to check every account sent in,” Mr. Richards said. He could not account for the fact that previous administrators, both Republican and Democratic, also have turned a deaf ear to their neighbors’ howls. The situation became even more involved late in 1943 and early in 1844 when Aftorney General James A. Emmert handed down a ruling on what costs were payable. Charges Struck Out The ruling automatically struck out many charges counties had been including on their bills. The counties have submitted to the ruling but Auditor Charles G. Bryant, Hendricks county, argues that it is illegal to apply it to accounts billed prior to the ruling. In a letter to Mr. Richards he said that this was retroactive and therefore illegal. He further stated that it worked a hardship on counties who always have been current in payments. He questioned whether or not they ever would be reimbursed for overpayment. Auditors of the various counties admit that the situation could be partially clarified if their judges would refuse to accept venued cases until the account is settled. Forced to Accept In few instances would this ever be done as local lawyers usually enter a venued case and thus earn part of -their livelihood. Pressure on judges force them to accept cases. “That works two ways,” said Mr, Richards. could refuse to venue cases unless the surrounding counties kept quiet. “Brother would you hear the lawyers yell then,” he said. According to records in the counties, Marion county owes

NEW DRAFT BILL GAINS SUPPORT

Senate Group Expected to Back House Approval.

WASHINGTON, April 10 (U. P.). —The administration found new cause for optimism today in its congressoinal battle for extension of the draft act. The final outcome still was far from certain. But the draft-exten-sion drive was given a surprisingly generous shot in the arm by house military affairs committee. It was reoprted due for equally sympathetic treatment by the senate military affairs group. The house committee voted 15 to 8 late yesterday to extend the selective service act for nine months, until Feb. 15, 1947, Although it imposed new limitations on inductions, the committee rejected various proposals to keep the act on the books but to suspend actual inductions for from four to six months. The senate committee hoped to agree on a bill tomorrow. Members were reported near agreement on a one-year extension carrying many of the house limitations.

INVOKE LAW FOR | SALE OF IODINE

Invoking an 1899 law, the state | pharmacy today was requiring grocers and other small merchants to employ registered pharmacists in order to sell tincture of iodine. Other medicines and drugs of poisonous nature were included as a part of the campaign being waged! with the assistance of the Indiana Pharmaceutical association. In the last three weeks, the board has obtained five convictions under the old law, announced William J. Miller, board inspector. “¥ The 1889 act prohibits the “sale of any’ chemical, drug or medicine which is poisonous or which contains poison, unless there be in charge a registered pharmacist.” All violators will be given a twoweek notice to clear their shelves of the offensive material or employ a pharmacist, Mr, Miller declared.

WOMEN JAM POLLS AT JAPS' ELECTION

By RALPH TEATSORTH United Press Staff Correspondent TOKYO, April 10. — Japanese mothers with babies strapped to their backs and millions of other women emancipated by American decree cast ballots today in Japan's first national election under its modified democratic system. Early voting to choose 466 members of the new diet was brisk and orderly. U. 8S. army poll-watching teams posted by Gen. Douglas MacArthur to prevent illegal voting found little to do. An unexpected number of women crowded into the polls when the balloting began at 7 a. m. to cast votes for the first time in Japanese history. Several mothers carrying babies were among the 60 women to drop ballots into the boxes during the first hour in the first precinct of Toshima ward, “Tokyo. An estimated 10,000,000 women, or half of those eligible to vote, had cast their ballots by noon and some observers predicted on the basis of early balloting that the rate of women not voting would run between 30 and 40 per cent as contrasted with pre-election predietions of 60 to 70 per cent. Allied headquartergs officials expressed satisfaction with the turnout of voters and Kyodo news agency reported that 65 to 70 per cent of the nation's electorate had appeared at the polls by 2 p. m. Voting was done in schools and ward offices. There were 40,000,000 eligible voters on the rolls.

SAYS STEVE IS IN CUSTODY OF COURT

D. C. Stephenson is now under jurisdiction of Hamliton circuit court, Hamilton County Sheriff George Michelfelder said today in explaining why he refused to release Stephenson to state prison authors ities. V

Klan grand dragon had filed a habeas corpus writ in Hamilton ecircuit court, “I could be fined and imprisoned if I turned Stephenson over to somebody else while that writ was pending,” the sheriff asserted. The state wants Stephenson,

serving a life term for murder, remanded back to Michigan City state prison. But when Warden

Ralph (Cap) Howard tried to res trieve Stephenson Monday, Sheriff Michelfelder declined to give him up without an order from Hamilton Circuit Judge Cassius Gentry. The supreme court, however, had issued a writ prohibiting Judge Gentry from acting in the Stephenson case. The judge said his hands were tied. : Stephenson today is still, in the Noblesville jail where he's been Since January, 1945, when he start-
