Judge Alex Clark charged last night his opponent, Mayor Bayt is following the Democratic machine in Washington, answerable to President Truman. “Also he is following the policies of Federal Security Administrator Oscar Ewing in the latter's

to be elected Mavor so he can put 3000 city employees to work for Truman and Ewing in 1952.” Judge Clark described Mayor Bayt as a former Democratic ward chairman, a former chief deputy ‘sheriff and a “Truman appointee under the OPA.”

THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF TALK AROUND HERE LATELY ABOUT HOME RULE. LET'S TALK ABOUT IT SOME» MORE. LET'S TALK ABOUT CITY ADMINISTRATION. AND LET'S KEEP THE ACCENT

WHERE IT BELONGS . . . ON CITY ADMINISTRATION.

Indianapolis is a huge corporation. Its operation starts with the Mayor and rolls into action through department heads, sub-executives, special ists and routine_employees. It is efficient or inefficient in direct relation to the man at the top and his appointed aides. Ineptitute . . . indecision . .. political ambition that supersedes eagerness to do today's job today can be a combination of demoralizing factors . . . demoralizing right down to the lowliest clerk.

THE CITIZENS COMMITTEE FOR MAYOR BAYT IS COMPOSED OF MEN AND WOMEN WHO KNOW (ITY GOVERNMENT. THEIR FIRST AND ONLY AMBITION IS TO CONTINUE THE FORTHRIGHT CONDUCT OF THE CITY'S AFFAIRS THAT HAS CHARACTERIZED PHIL BAYT'S EVERY ACTION. THEY ARE SUPPORTED BY THOUSANDS OF POLITICALLY INDEPENDENT CITIZENS WHO RECOGNIZE THE FOLLY OF TURNING THE VAST RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE CITY HALL OVER TO INEXPERIENCED

HANDS.

Railways Plans

Rider Survey

The city's transit system wants to know where to make alternate stops, where is the best place to load passengers downtown and how good (or bad) the system is

today. Taking stock of itself, IndiWin Railways, Inc, announced plans to conduct a passenger traffic survey of the entire transportation system. As a result, the company hopes to- be able to put into effect skip (alternate stops) to speed and +o. iron out any the, schedules or

stops up service wrinkles in routes. W. Marshall Dale. Railways president, hired the R. H. Donnelly Corp.. Chicago, to make the survey, He said the survey would be helpful also in the event the company intends to establish zone fares for Indianapolis. This would raise some fares and decrease others, depending upon the length

of the ride. Will Cover All Lines ’

The survey will start tomorrow or Thursday on.the Washington St. trolley coach line and -will cover every line in the city. About 35 traffic checkers will perform the job at a cost of about $4000. The survey will help transit officiais determine the effect the one-way’ streets, growth of the city population, population shifts, school enrollment and other factors have on the transit system. Company officials: want to know
