TEE HOOSIER DAY By FRANK A. WHFTI HOOSIER REPUBLICANS numb- ■ ed by the November 3 Democratic 1 landslide have bestirred themselves • to join in the emerging state and ’ national efforts to revive the party and give it a new image. Currently the State GOP Central Committee met, re-elected Robert • Stewart of Columbus, state chair-1 man, and began the rebuilding process. Indiana Republican mayors met in the Hoosier capital and heard former Gov. Harold W. Handley call for party unity. i In Washington a revolt to unseat Second District Chairman Charles ' A. Halleck, House minority leader of Congress, was “hotted” up. And, in Denver, Colo., the Governor’s Association went on record unanimous;ly for removal of Dean Burch, j GOP national committeeman. All wings of the Republican party, the Eastern leaders, midwest ,leadj ers such as George Romney of Michj igan, Richard Nixon, who came within an eyelash of being president, and former President Eisenhower ' have all been in print, bearing on ■, the reorganization and reviving- of the GOP. In the dim background is the spectre of the WHIG party that sufi sered a stunning defeat and passed out of existence. However, prevailing thought is, the GOP has taken many a defeat and is still very much alive. CENTER OF THE GOP dilemma is two figures—Barry Goldwater and Dean Burch, the soft spoken six foot, , lean Arizona lawyer, who has a four year contract at $30,000 per annum las GOP National Chairman • Burch, 36 years pld, is in the un- ! comfortable position of fighting to hold his'job. Goldwater, cites the fact that he got 27 million plus votes for President, feels the conservatives are the biggest bloc in the GOP

today and that Purch should not be sacrificed. Indiana is split wide open as to whether Burch should be retained. I The thousands in Indiana voting tor Goldwater feel that he is the real target of those wishing to unseat s Burch. The 132 member GOP Na- ; tional Committee will meet in Chicago Sept. 22-23 and on the agenda ■ will be a vote of confidence for Burch. Prevailing thought among Hoosier politicians who have expressed themselves is that Burch will be | eased out. U. S. Senator Thruston Morton of Kentucky doesn’t want this to happen saying that GOP | blood is too thin now for more blood , letting. Indiana’s National Committeeman Walter R. Beardsley, Elk-. hart; feels that the Chicago meeting should not pass on this issue since there is not evidence of enough unity at this time. GLOOM PREVAILS among the proprietors of 59 stores in Washing-1 ton, D. C.» that rent formal wear for ' special events. President Lyndon B. Johnson has | :kt it be known that he will wear i at his inauguration an Oxford gray ; suit, a four in hand, and most probably an ordinary hat, Fedora style, trimmed down to a western look that is to be grey. At the inaugural ball he will wear an ordinary dinner jacket. His decision is the first since Franklin fierce '1853-57' not to wear the top formal attire of claw hammer coat and striped pants. President Eisenhower balked at wearing a top hat in 1954 and ’57, and wore a Homburg instead. Johnson justified his attire by saying those who came a distance to the inaugural could not easily have formal wear. The concerns renting formal dress figure they will lose between $3,000 and $5,000 by the President's decision. INDIANA CIVIL RIGHTS leaders are suggesting a repeal of the state law forbidding mixed .marriages. A total of 19 states have such laws. They say repeal will not increase ' mixed marriages. They look upon the law as a reminder of discrimination. Generally, Indiana integration laws have been ahead of the Civil Rights enacted by Congress.
