mill of the Indianapolis Star at the expense of the taxpayers of Indiana. This great Republican political welfare rhubarb will be remembered chiefly for its political side effects within the party. Agree on '52 Ticket Thus we have seen Sen. Willam E. Jenner and Congressman Charles Halleck come to terms and agree to a Halleck for Senator, Jenner for Governor ticket in 1952. This algo relieves Sen. Homer Capehart from the uneasy position of being one of two Senators from Southern Indiana. Ambitious George Craig (former National American Legion commander), with nothing to contribute, has been placed in cold storage for four more years. On the national level, S8en. Taft has excused Halleck for stealing Taft votes away {rom Ralph Gates at the 1948 National Convention and as a Senate Conferee permitted the Jenner amendment to stand. The obvious consideration here was the indorsement of Taft for President by the Indiana Republican High Command.

Liberals Crushed

Through this series of deals the liberal element of the GOP party in Indiar - has been crushed --at least for the time being. The Jenner machine, the direct heir to the high ideals of the late Bob Lyons and D. C. Stephenson (former Ku Klux Klan leader) is more firmly entrenched than ever before. The people of Indiana should take notice that this powerful combine, backed by unlimited newspaper propaganda without regard to truth, threatens a return to isolationism.

on the subject, Some of our sister states have already gone much farther than Indiana did in passing a modified public welfare .inspection law,

Safeguards Incorporated

Indiana's law simply places information in the hands of responsible public officials, who by virtue of their office are charged with the responsibility of dealing with certain phases of the welfare program. Not only is the right of inspection limited, but adequate szafeguards were incorporated which will prevent exploitation for political or commercial purposes. With the restoration of federal funds, the financial phase of the welfare situation in Indiana was \at least temporarily removed from our consideration.

Hint New Ewing Move No one, however, has been able to give any assurance that Oscar Ewing will not find some other excuse to again pul! the rug out from under us.

Therefore, I personally have considered it imperative that some financial safeguards be guaranteed by legislation. That

has been accomplished by enactment of the combined escalator and formula welfare bill. Indiana can well be proud of the courageous action of the Republican legislators who have stood their ground against the dictftorial attempts of Oscar Ewing and his cohorts to make Indiana's citizens completely subservient to bureaucratic control.

Has dramatized

M. Gi lis New York, of the" $5158 we tm forum Eric Fr. Gillis, promiinent Catholic author and for 26 years editor-in-chief of the Cathlolic World, addressed an audience of 600 in the Murat Theater. “Passing the lie among prominent men in public life has become a new technique in American political life,” the speaker said. Fr. Gillis pointed to the historic Truman-MacArthur contro-, versy as an example. During that probe, alone, more than two million words of testimony were recorded, the speaker declared, and a great percentage of it was contradictory. “The ordinary citizen is bewildered,’ the speaker continued “He knows that someone iz lying, but he cannot put his finger on the offender.” It would appear that the technique of “The Big Liew started by Hitler and promoted more recently by Stalin, is creeping into our own political scheme as well, Father Gillis said. “What we need. for our safety and our peace of mind is confidence in our own government,

Acton Youth Held In Hot-Rod Case

A youth accused of using his car as a love spite weapon has been charged with leaving the scene of an accident. Russell W. Parrott, 21, Acton, was arrested vesterday and ordered to appear in Beech Grove Magistrate Court this afternoon. William R. Shellhouse, his 17-vear-old rival in love, was in good condition at Methodist Hospital today as a result of the accident. Young Shellhouse, of 37 Parkview Ave. suffered a broken neck. William and his girl friend said Parrott telephoned ther to “get rid” of William in an hour and a half “or something will happen to him.” The two rivals’ cars collided a few hours later Sunday morning, Parrott admitted the call but denied the threat. He also denied racing with William before the accident. SH
