Report of Community Fund
The Hoosier capital's 27th annual Community Fund drive roared into the first turn today, after a flying start. Yesterday's fund “kickoff” sent the Red Feather campaign a fourth of its way to the< $1,328,000 goal and brought award of “Red Feather War Bonnets” to three fund-drive divisions. : The ~ opening report showed pledges of $339,381.29. The next report is due at a luncheon at the Claypool hotel tomorrow. Guest Appearance Featured at tomorrows report luncheon will be the guest appearance of Bill Thompson, pative of Terre Haute, who is the “Wallace Wimpple” and “Old Timer” on the Fibber McGee and Molly radio pro-
id
gram. Mr. Thompson will be met
at the Municipal airport at 11 a. m. by a reception commitee from the Community Fund. There will be no speeches and tHe time will be allotted to reports and stunts. Winners of the War Bonnet awards were the special gifts division, headed by Volney M. Brown; the utilities division, headed by John Klenheinz, and the residential division under direction of Mrs, Margaret Shackleford. Awards were based on percentage of quotas obtained. ‘Must=Not Fail’ In the opening pep talk, Dr. Elbert K. Fretwell, chief of Boy Scout executives in the United States, told more than 500 workers at the luncheon the campaign “must not fail.” Funds collected will support 46 Red Feather agencies for 1047
and will pay Marion county's share|
of the year’s United Service Organization program nationally. Drive Chairman Walter Leckrone promised to “blanket the county with red feathers during the coming two weeks. The red feather is e jaunty symbol of its wearer's pontribution to the fund. Mr. Leckrone termed 1947 the ounty fund's most critical year. “Problems coming with the backyash of war,” he said, “will put heavy loads on fund agencies. The pumber of broken homes is growing padily. Juvenile delinquency is on he increase, along with disease, mental illness, veterans’ problems nd the number of children needing Community Fund care.”

The non-participating state was Maine, which did its balloting in September, Seventy-six Democrats and 11 Republicans were elected to congress as the polls opened. They either had no opposition or only token opposition. The fair weather generally prevailing was expected to favor the Republicans by encouraging a turnout in _ rural areas, where a significant part of G. O. P. strength lies. P. A. C. Threatens Third Party
But there is thunder from the left where some New Deal campaigners signed off with sharp words for their Democratic allies. Former Secretary of Commerce Henry A. Wallace told a campaignend luncheon meeting of the National Citizens Political Action

Earlier he warned that: “There is a depression coming, folks, and it cannot be too strongly emphasized.” Mr. Wallace announced that he would feel free tomorrow to resume his sharp criticism of Truman administration foreign policies which mid-way in the campaign caused his ouster from the cabinet. Executive Vice Chairman C. B. Baldwin ‘of the N. C. P. A. C. charged the Democratic party leadership with abandoning liberalism for a clandestine association with privilege, bigotry and reaction. Mr. Baldw#in threatened and Mr. Wallace hinted.at formation of a third party.

Her dream for the alliance is the establishment of traveling commissions of qualified women from various countries to discuss and share information with groups in other countries . Dr. Rydh arrived in the U. 8. on Oct. 12 to attend an international assembly of women at South Kortright, N. Y. On Saturday she will board a plane for the return trip. Authored Many Books She is an archaeologist and, before her marriage to the governor of a Swedish province, was attached to a Stockholm historical museum. She has made excavations in Sweden and has written 35 books, pamphlets and innumerable articles on scientific subjects, Since 1937 she has been president of the Fredrika Bremer association. The organization, with 83 branches, was named for the woman who was a pioneer in Sweden's woman's movement—“much like your Susan B. Anthony,” Dr. Rydh says. “Women must take their place as citizens of the world,” Dr. Rydh says. “Not because it is our right— it is our duty—to be active citizens. Need Education
“I don't believe that women are better than men,” she says, “but we have something men do not—the strong feeling of life, love for children, and a sense of humanity— and we ‘must have power.” “We must use it,” she declares. It's a practice her own family
