Elected 3 Times, In Office Now For First Time

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 21.With the help of a Governor and an attorney general, Earl W. Kintner of Princeton was practically ready last night to become Gibson County ' prosecutor after being elected three times. . A Navy veteran, . Kintner had the job 16 months before going to war.' He was elected twice while in the service but wasn't able to qualify until now. Last week he came to Governor Ralph F. Gates to ex- , plain matters. Kintner resigned in 1944 from the prosecutorship and former Governor Henry F. Schricker. named a Republican to fill the office since Kintner was a member of the GOP. Kintner went off to Europe with a Navy amphibious force, meanwhile having reentered the 1944 primary race. He was re-nominated and re-elected, but wasn't, in the county so couldn't serve. His successor continued in' office. When the 1946 primary came up, Kintner had previ- . ously returned home, entered . the primary and gone off to Europe again this time as a war crimes counsel for the American forces. He was elected. But this time he was returned to the United States with a lung infection, and medical authorities insisted he wasn't even able to file a statement of campaign ex- ' penses. Kintner left the hospital, returned home and was ready to become Gibson County prosecutor. What to do? The attorney general's office dusted off the law books and found that he could still qualify by merely filing his y campaign statement. I I " " ' Drive On For More V-6 Naval Reserve Members Last week the Naval Reserve program was given a boost by a traveling . unit which visited Sullivan and opened a current drive for increasing : the V-6 Inactive Reserve.
