INDIANAPOLIS, April 1—(UP) —Republican state officials turned to the Indiana supreme court today in the hope of lifting a circuit court injunction temporarily nullifying their newly acquired patronage powers. Governor Schricker won the first round of the bitter struggle for control over thousands of state employees last night when circuit judge Earl R. Cox granted a temporary injunction restraining the other officials from making appointments under the provisions of GOP ripper acts. Effectiveness of the injunction warimmediate since today was to have been the day for appointment of ar interim attorney general to serve until the office becomes elective in 1942. The governor’s attorneys sought the order to give them additional time to test the constitution ality of the patronage grabbing program without risking "chaos" in the stat£ government. In granting the injunction, Judge Cox overrode contentions of attorneys representing the four Republican elected officials that he had nc. right to rule since the case presented no violation of "protectable rights" on which to base action. They charged that the court was being asked to rule on a purely political contro versy. "There is no reason why this court or the supreme court, cannot adjudicate questions which arise out of the political life of the state,” Judge Cox held, “having in mind the use of the wo d political in its broadcast sense as affecting the life of the sovereign.” He stated that in his judgement no injury would occur to any litigant, or prospective appointee by holding the status quo of all actions until the Supreme court could decide upon the more vital issues involved in the Democratic 3iiits to Invalidate the rippers. The laws involved in the test cases are the attorney general law the keystone decentralization act and the hoard of education reorganization act. The judge pointed out careful-; that in issuing the writ to restrain immediate appointments he intended in no way to rule upon the merits of the three pending test suits. “The fact that this matter and the subject of this lawsuit has neve, before been completely decided in any jurisdiction does not mean that when Indiana is confronted with a problem such as this one our courts will not, and cannot, do substantial justice,” Judge Cox declared. "The mere fact that this situation has never before arisen In its complete particulars does not mean that it
