While none of th democratic leaders concerned would permit himself to b quoted, it was learned they have been in close touch with the White House, nince the bill was reported favorably by the house ways and means commiteee, in aa effort to " ascertain the president's attitude. While no official sta.te.meo on tho fjbject has been forthcoming from the White Hnu.e it was authoritatively stated at the capltol by democratic senators in a position to ascertain tne president's vi$.ws regarding prospec. tive legislation that the president was not in sympathy with present congressional e.Torts to meet the country's "financial and economic situation, The president's course toward te resolution revlvinjj the war finance corporation passed by congress recently, is still being awaited, with un-ci.-iuUtd interest.

"Whn we railed them up to noMfy them that the doors of their store were found open, we get an answer something like this: "Why, I must have forgotten to lock up,' or 'I lost my keys, will you keep mi officer there until I get down.' and then they expect us to obliverate crime in Gary. "They leave their store doors and windows unlocked and expect the police department to watch their place and see that nothing is stolen. It Is nothing unusual to get one or two reports nightly that store doors have been found unlocked by the patrolmen. "Some of our night men have to cover a beat of business Jiouses Ave .nd six blocks long, and how simple it In for a thief to walk In a store and help hlmHelf when an officer 1j two or three blocks down the street protecting other stores. Until business men learn to lock up their store, we will continue to have these thefts. We cannot stop them. "Th police department has also been blamed many times for burglaries tn homes on both the east and west side. -tt'.H ! 1. ...... . M,,AntUn- '!....
