"Mr. Young has been mixing with the lobbyists in the Statehouse and frequently confers with Representatives and Senators on his educational program. His program, which would, in effect, set up boss-control over the state school system with the aid of the township trustees, his been condemned as “dictatorial” by the city and state Chambers of Commerce, and the State Teachers Association. , Specifically, ‘Mr. Young’s program would give him. control over the $53 million annual school fund, create a school building au-

Show of Strength More than 50 township trustees, the advance guard of yesterday's rural force, got nere Friday to “look up their lawmakers” and plan strategy. A total of nearly 200 put in an appearance. ‘Political observers commented that Mr. Young was showing his hand—a militant “army” of political workers ready to fight for him. Some politicians saw in Mr, Young's activity signs that he has the ability to dictate terms to the Republican Party. “Any politician ‘with a political following like he'has, is a man to be reckoned with,” said one veteran political observer.

Daylight Time No Longer Hot Issue

Bill Provides

For Referendum By JOHN V, WILSON

Unlike 1949, Hoosier lawmakers this year don't have time on their hands.

During the last two years, public sentiment to bring daylight saving time to Indiana has all but disappeared.

That's what the majority of the lawmakers report. Their desks remain bare of letters and telegrams on the once red-hot | see of early time vs. standard me.

Lawmakers expect to take no stand on changing the clocks this year. Instead, the issue may be tossed back in the laps of the voters, Comes Up Tomorrow

Such a proposal is now before the House of Representatives. A bill to submit the time question to a referendum comes up for passage tomorrow.

Two Senate bills to move Indiana into the eastern standard time zone have been dumped in the wastebasket. Because of public apathy, their authors have

made no attempt to get them favored by majorities in both the House and the Senate, are doomed to die natural deaths. They will die from lack of time, rather than

Rep. Paul C. Mdellering, Ft. Wayne Republican, introduced the House version. to his committee, which rewrote the measure entirely.

Instead of placng Indiana under eastern time, this bill now provides that the time question be placed on a special ballot in the fall election of 1952. Three Questions If passed, voters will be asked to decide three questions— whether to keep central standard time, shift to daylight sawing time during the summer months, or

Rain-soaked boxes hreak open and spill their contents. Bottles and all types of trash are to be seen everywhere. arles C. Lotz, 1728 E.
