Chairman ‘Disgruntled’

Several ward chairmen were reported “disgruntled” over the City Hall conference that set up the slate of candidates. Some of them had begun to charge “dictatorship” and were squaring away for a chance to fight back. Mr. Book issued a statement lauding Mr. Boetcher for his services to the party for 45 years. “It is with déepest regret that the Democratic Party accepts the resignation. Mr, Boetcher has devoted most of his life to the party and is among Indiana’s really great in Democratic politics,” the statefnent said. Mr. Boetcher has served three terms as county an in 1934, 1936 and 1946. He was city controller in 1937 when the former Mayor John Kern resigned to accept a Washington post. Mr.

On GOP Favorite

3 In Presidential Race Face First Key Test

MILWAUKEE, Apr. 6 (UP)— Three top Republicans collided today in the presidential primary election, which can make or break a candidate's

The Wisconsin balloting is the first crucial test of the 1048 presidential campaigns for candidates Harold E. Stassen, Gen. Douglas MacArthur and Gov. Thomas E. Dewey. As the polls opened, MacArthur supporters were confident. Some of Mr. Dewey's backers were doubtful. Mr. Stassen predicted he would come out on top.

700,000 Votes Predicted The hot three-cornered race was expected to bring out 700,000 voters as compared with 514,000 in 1944. The forecast was for cloudy weather with showers in the south part of the state. The votes were cast for delegates to the GOP national convention. The state will send 27 delegates to Philadelphia in June. Four years ago Mr. Dewey ran away with 17 delegates and swept on to the Republican nomination. Mr. Stassen got four and Gen. MacArthur three. Democrats also elected convention delegates, but 50 of the 53 candidates were pledged to President Truman. The other three were not pledged to any candidate. The polls opened at various times throughout the state, 7 a. m. being the earliest. The poll closings varied from 5 p. m. to 8 p.m.

Residents in the neighborhood of 1100 Congress Ave. are mourning the death of their favorite little girl. Six-year-old Judy Barrett died yesterday, prophecy that she was going to join her brother Sunday 1944, when he was six weeks old. Today arrangements are being made for her services at 2:30

rolled her in James Roberts School for Crippled Children. It was a disappointment to her when her {liness became worse and she could only attend occasionally. Then two weeks ago, without a trace of fear in her voice, she told her mother, “I'm going up to Heaven where Connie will be waiting for me.” Sunday she lapsed into a coma from which she never recovered. Just before she closed her eyes for the last time she smiled and whispered, “Pray to God for me, Mommy.” Neighbors today tried to lessen the sadness that is in the home at 1118 Congress Ave. But nothing can fill the emptiness which Judy left behind. Besides the parents, she is survived by a younger brother, Ronnie. Barrett; a grandmother, Mrs. Edith Gauld, and a grandfather, Franklin Barrett. Burial will be in Crown Hill Cemetery.
