Interest on in. Off. Year

Election, . By UNITED PRESS “Off year” election balloting

opened today in Indiana as Hoosiers went to primary polls in upwards of 4025 precincts. Voting began at 6a. m,C. 8 T,or7a m,CD S5.T As usual, primary interest was

low and observers predicted about|-..

30 per cent of the registered voters ‘would ballot. In that case, some 600,000 votes will be cast. A recent opinion by Attorney General James A. Emmert, howevef. might boost that total. Mr. Emmert held that in a primary a person may vote by signing an affidavit that he was qualified, or would be qualified by the fall elections. Hitherto it was necessary to register. State voters will nominate 22 congressional candidates, 250 state legislative hopefuls and thousands of county and township candidates. They also will elect Democratic and Republican precinct committeemen and delegates to state conventions.

Delegates Gathef in June

Delegates will meet in June at!

Indianapolis to select all candidates not named in the primary. These offices included a seat in the U.S. senate, Despite the active Republican campaign by incumbent Senator Raymond Willis, former state chairman William E., Jenner and Congressman Charles La Follette, there were only a handful of delegate contests. Most of the G. O. P. delegate jostling ‘came from C. I. O.-P. A. C. slates filed in support of La Follette, Evansville’s self-styled “Radical Republican.” Nearly all the other delegates were hand-picked by the county | “organization,” which, in many | cases, had not been committed. to any of the three candidates.

Local Option Is IssupLocal option was expected to have | a major test in the state general assembly races. The Indiana AntiSaloon league had endorsed one out of every five legislative candidates. Leage ' spokesmen said men they! backed ' were favorable to “home rule” on the liquor question. The “wets” of course, were uniting to halt the “dry” candidates. Local option was expected to cause one of the biggest controversies at the 1947 general assembly. Marion county also had a bitter anti-organization vs. organization fight on the Republican side. The organization was indicted in a “beer and politics” city newspapers. However, close observers predicted approximately 50,000 voters or one fourth of those registered, will go to the polls in “the state's biggest county, The Marion county battle was on an intra-county basis and did not flower over into the congressional races, where seven Republicans and three Democrats were in the running.

Burke of Cleveland , said the U.M.W, had assured him that if its strike continued beyond May 20, enough coal would be supplied to operate the city's municipal light afid water plants and hospital, Mayor Burke said the U. M. W. had promised to operate one highfusion mine and one low-fushion mine to provide the necessary coal for these services.

Meet in Washington

As dwindling supplies forced shutdowns in additional coal consuming industries, Mine Chieftain John L. Lewis met in Washington with his 200-man policy committee. There were indications of a possible break soon—with federal seizure as a last resort. Administration anxiety over the 37-day-old mine walkout was re-

Five members of parliament sought permission from Prime Min~ ister Sir Basil Brooke to visit Fleming and ask him to call off the strike, on promises of an inquiry into ‘his allegations that I. R.

Rural Co-operative Alarmed Over Coal Shortage.

Members of Indiana's Statewide Rural Electric Co-operative today were pleading for rationing of elec« tric power “while there is still some thing left to ration.” As the prospect of running out of coal closed in on private and muse nicipal power plants over the state, leaders of the co-operative became alarmed for many of the 78,000 farm and suburban homes the u ganization serves, Accordingly, the Public Service Commission has been petitioned to put power rationing on a statewide basis. ¢ According to Hugh Abbett, gene eral manager of the co-operative,

23 Counties Have Brownout

With a brownout already in efe fect in 22 northern Indiana coune ties, Mr. Abbett said, other 'see= tions of the state could follow suit and the available supplies of coal stretched accordingly.

“Unless we ration electric current now,” he said, “we will have nothing left to ration. Once these utilities are out of coal there will be no sale vaging of their output. “We don't believe it is practical to trade coal supplies back and forth but with the excellent transmission facilities in Indiana there could be a transfer of power from one syse tem to another by which the supply of energy could be partially equals ized in all parts of the state.” Among the suppliers to which the co-operative’s proposed rationing order would apply are Ft.

WARNING 1S ISSUED ON NEW RAT POISON

By Science Service WASHINGTON, May T—The war-born rough-on-rats known as “1080,” is also rough on cats. Cats find rats that have been poisoned with the deadly stuff. They eat them and thereby get a second-hand but still effective dose of “1080.” It rat eradicators are using it in your neighborhood, keep Tom or Tabby shut up close until the job is finished, warn scientists in the U! 8. fish and wildlife service.
